You should carefully review the information contained in this Quarterly Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this Quarterly Report, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include: we only recently commenced our commercial operations; the agreements with the strategic partners that provide the communications services accessible through our phones require us to meet certain minimum requirements, which, if not met, could lead to our loss of certain material rights; if we are unable to effectively manage the transition from development stage to commercial operations, our financial results will be negatively affected; our failure to quickly and positively distinguish our phone/service bundles from other available communications solutions could limit the adoption curve associated with their market acceptance and negatively affect our operations; and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. Statements included in this Quarterly Report are based upon information known to us as of the date that this Quarterly Report is filed with the SEC, and we assume no obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable federal securities laws.

AMERICAN TELECOM SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. Description of the business
 
American Telecom Services, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 16, 2003. The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30.
 
The Company was formed to design, distribute and market product bundles that include multi-handset phones and low-cost, high value telecommunication services for sale through retail channels. The Company generates revenues through the sale of phones into the retail market and shares in a portion of revenues generated by communications service providers.  
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting policies:
 
Interim reporting
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or any future year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited June 30, 2006 financial statements, including the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Form 10K, filed on September 28, 2006.
 
Basis of Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Use of Estimates
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary American Telecom Services, (Hong Kong) Limited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates to be made by management include or will include allowances for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s common stock and warrants, estimated warranty reserves and other allowances, the allocation of proceeds from debt to equity instruments and expected volatility of common stock. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company derives revenue from the sale of its phone products to consumer retailers (“Retail Partners”) and from certain arrangements with phone service carriers. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or services has occurred in accordance with the terms of an agreement, the price is fixed and determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured, contractual obligations have been satisfied, and title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer.

From time to time, the Company initiates programs to promote the sales of its phone products and to motivate phone product customers to activate carrier service with the Company’s service partners, which, in most cases, will generate ongoing revenues for the Company. The Company accounts for such programs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 01-09 (“EITF 01-09”). Accordingly, consideration given to a customer is characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in the Company’s income statement, unless certain conditions are met, in which case such consideration would be accounted for as selling expense. The Company recognizes expenditures associated with rebate program expenses as a reduction of revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications of these expenses have been made to prior periods for comparative purposes.

AMERICAN TELECOM SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Phone Products
 
The Company’s phone products are sold through Retail Partners to the end user customer. Revenues from sales of phones are recognized in the period when title and risk of loss are transferred to the Retail Partner in accordance with the terms of an agreement, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Retail Partners participate in various cooperative marketing and other programs, and the Company maintains estimated accruals and allowances for these programs once they commence and records related charges either as a reduction of revenue or an expense depending on the facts and circumstances.
 
The Company generally warrants its phone products against defects to customers for a period of up to one year. Factors that affect the Company's warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.  As required, the Company accrues a provision for warranty reserves as a selling expense at the time of revenue recognition. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 the Company recorded a provision for warranty reserves of $49,394 and $94,507 respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s warranty liability reserve was $89,917 and is included in accrued expenses.
 
The Company accrues for sales returns and other allowances based on estimates. Each estimate are based on the Company’s historical experience, management’s consideration of comparable companies, the specific agreements with retail partners, and experience in the wholesale distribution industry. As required, the Company accrues a provision for estimated future costs and estimated returns as a reduction of revenue at the time of revenue recognition. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded provisions for sales returns allowances of $493,946 and $719,513 respectively. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 the Company recorded provisions for sales returns allowances totaling $9,500 and $9,500, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s provision for sales returns was approximately $208,140, which is included in accrued expenses.
 
Carrier Agreements
 
The Company has agreements with certain phone service carriers who, if requested by the phone purchaser user, may provide users of the Company’s cordless landline phones and Internet phones with phone communications services. The agreements with the carriers grant the Company the right to include, at its option, certain marks and logos of the carriers on the Company’s phones and/or related packaging and marketing materials.
 
Under the agreements with SunRocket, Inc. (“SunRocket”) and Lingo, Inc. (“Lingo”), the Company designs and configures its Internet phones to work with each carriers’ communications services. The carriers offers end-user purchasers of the Company’s Internet phones different service plans at set rates.
 
The Company’s agreement with IDT Domestic, Inc. (“IDT”), as assigned by IDT Puerto Rico & Co., provides purchasers of the Company’s cordless landline phones with the ability to obtain prepaid long distance communications services. IDT will offer end-user purchasers of the Company’s cordless landline phones certain prepaid long distance calling rate plans and IDT will handle all customer service interaction, including billing the customer for all communications services. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to deliver certain minimum account activations to IDT. In the event that the Company fails to achieve the minimum commitment level for the relevant time period, then IDT, at its sole discretion, shall have the right to (i) terminate the agreement without further obligation or (ii) renegotiate the agreement or specific terms on a going forward basis.
 
In connection with the agreements with the carriers, the Company is entitled to earn certain commissions from the carriers. For each services account activated with SunRocket by end-users of the Company’s Internet phones, the Company receives a pre-defined commission amount from SunRocket once the account remains active for a certain period of time. The Company is also entitled to receive ongoing monthly commissions from both SunRocket and

IDT equal to a percentage of the net service revenues received by the respective carrier from end-users of the Company’s phones. In addition, the Company receives certain retail marketing co-op fees and contributions for consumer rebates in certain circumstances from carriers. The Company’s obligations to end-users of the Company’s phones relate solely to the sales of the Company’s phones and the related warranties provided. Aside from marketing the carrier communication services with its phones, the Company has no obligations to the end-users related to the carrier communications services. Accordingly, commission revenues, based on a percentage of the monthly carrier net service revenue from the subscriber users of the Company’s phones, are recognized in the period the usage occurs and commission revenue resulting from service account activation by users of the Company’s phones and marketing co-op fees are recognized once the subscriber activates the phone on the carrier’s network and such account is active for the required period of time. During the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2006, the company recorded $2,568 and $4,147 respectively, of such commission revenue. During the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005, no such commission revenue was recognized.
 
The Company offers some Retail Partners a percentage of the service revenue commissions it earns from carriers of communications service providers and a percentage of the subscriber activation fees the Company will receive from SunRocket and Lingo in connection with the purchase of communications services by end-users of the Company’s Internet phones. Such fees are recorded as sales and marketing expenses. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, nominal commission revenue was recognized.
 
Allowance for doubtful accounts
 
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade receivables are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Specific reserves are also established on a case-by-case basis by management. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition on a regular basis.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
On July 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2005), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
 
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) prospectively as no share-based compensation awards were granted prior to February 2006. Share-based compensation expense for employees recognized under SFAS 123(R) for three and six months ended December 31, 2006 was $35,464 and $132,299 respectively, which consisted of share-based compensation expense related to stock option grants to employees and directors and is included in general and administrative expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6 for additional information.
 
SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company follows the straight-line single option method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
 
Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company elected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) as its method of valuation for share-based awards granted. The Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and the expected term of the awards.
 
No share-based compensation awards were granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005.
 
The Company has accounted for non-employee compensation expense in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services (“EITF 96-18”), which requires non-employee stock options to be measured at their fair value as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (“performance commitment date”) or the date at which performance is complete (“performance completion date”). Accounting for non-employee stock options which involve only performance conditions when no performance commitment date or performance completion date has occurred as of an interim financial reporting date requires measurement at the instruments then-current fair value.
 
The Company has followed the guidance outlined in FASB Interpretations (“FIN”) No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans (“FIN 28”) as it relates to computing expense when appreciation rights vest over time. Share-based compensation for non-employees during the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 resulted in expense of $11,730 and $11,002 respectively, due to the increase in the Company’s stock price and is included in general and administrative expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 107 approximate their carrying amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006.
 
Inventory and Shipping
 
Inventory consists of finished goods on hand and in transit which are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the first-in, first-out method and includes the shipping costs to acquire inventory.

The Company includes the expense of shipping and handling on products to customers in selling, marketing and development on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company incurred approximately $740,300 and $71,000 respectively of shipping costs to customers. During the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 the Company incurred approximately $1,063,500 and $71,100 respectively of shipping costs to customers. Included in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximately $33,670 and $500 respectively, of fees earned from customers related to reimbursements of shipping costs. Included in revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximately $49,000 and $500 respectively, of fees earned from customers related to reimbursements of shipping costs.
 
 Internal Use Software
 
The Company has adopted statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. This statement requires that certain costs incurred in purchasing or developing software for internal use be capitalized as internal use software development costs and included in fixed assets. Amortization of the software will begin when the software is ready for its intended use. During the six months ended December 31, 2006 the company capitalized $23,200 of costs related to developing internal use software. Substantially all of these capitalized costs were recognized as expenses in the three month period ending December 31, 2006 as these projects were completed and deployed in that period.
 
Concentrations
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company reduces credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company reduces credit risk related to accounts receivable by routinely assessing the financial strength of its customers and maintaining an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
The Company's products have been provided primarily to a limited number of clients located in the United States. The Company had phone product revenues from two (2) customers representing approximately 90% (50% and 40%, respectively) of the $9.3 million in net phone product revenues (excluding promotional rebates expenses) during the three months ended December 31, 2006. The Company had phone product revenues from two (2) customers representing approximately 90% (54% and 36%, respectively) of the $13.6 million in net phone product revenues (excluding promotional rebates expenses) during the six months ended December 31, 2006.
 
Additionally, the Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk with respect to its accounts receivable. The Company had two (2) customers represent 95% (47% and 48%, respectively) of total gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2006. The Company had three (3) customers accounting for 95% (58%, 19% and 18%, respectively) of gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2006.
 
Net loss per share

earnings and in which they have a dilutive effect, includes the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 exclude potentially issuable common shares of 5,623,167 and 2,196,834, respectively, primarily related to the Company's outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible debt, because the assumed issuance of such potential common shares is antidilutive.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No.48, Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2007. The Company will evaluate the effect FIN 48 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will evaluate the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effected, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Stockholders’ Equity:
 
Initial Public Offering
 
On February 6, 2006, the Company consummated an initial public offering (the “Offering”) comprised of 3,350,000 shares of common stock and 3,350,000 Redeemable Warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Additionally, in March 2006, the Company issued an additional 402,500 shares of Common Stock and 502,500 Redeemable Warrants upon the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters.
 
The Common Stock was sold at an offering price of $5.05 per share and the Redeemable Warrants were sold at an offering price of $0.05 per warrant, generating gross proceeds $19,142,750 to the Company. The Company incurred $1,762,695 in underwriting discounts and expense allowances and $756,022 of other expenses in connection with the Offering, resulting in net proceeds of $16,624,033.
 
We realized a reduction of deferred IPO related costs of $57,871 in three month period ending December 31, 2006. The reduction was recognized as in increase to additional paid in capital in the period. The nature of this reduction was the settlement of printing related costs for documents produced in our offering.
 
Purchase Option
 
Upon closing of the Offering, the Company sold and issued an option (“UPO”) for $100 to HCFP/Brenner Securities LLC (“HCFP”), the representative of the underwriters in the Offering, to purchase up to 335,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and/or up to 335,000 Redeemable Warrants at an exercise price of $6.3125 per share of common stock and $0.0625 per Redeemable Warrant. The UPO is exercisable in whole or in part, solely at

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
HCFP’s discretion, during the five-year period commencing on the date of the Offering. The Company accounted for the fair value of the UPO, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the public offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholder’s equity with a corresponding increase in paid-in capital. The UPO may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the UPO (the difference between the exercise prices of the UPO and the underlying warrants and the market price of the units and underlying securities) to exercise the UPO without the payment of any cash. Although the UPO and its underlying securities were registered under the registration statement related the Offering, the option grants to holders demand and “piggy back” rights with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the UPO. The Company is only required to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement for the Units and securities underlying the UPO to be come effective and once effective to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement. The Company has no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the UPO or the securities underlying the UPO.
 
Redeemable Warrants
 
In connection with the Offering in February 2006, the Company sold 3,852,500 redeemable warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Redeemable Warrants”). In addition, upon consummation of the Offering, 1,475,667 of warrants previously issued in connection with debt were automatically exchanged into a like number of Redeemable Warrants. The Company’s Redeemable Warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.05 per share, at any time commencing on the date of the Offering and expiring on January 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2006, 5,328,167 Redeemable Warrants were outstanding.
 
The Company may call the Redeemable Warrants, with HCFP’s prior consent, for redemption at a price of $0.05 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption if and only if, the Company then has an effective registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants. However the Company may not initiate its call right unless the last sales price per share of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds 190% (currently $9.60) during the first three months after the consummation of the Offering, or 150% (currently $7.58) thereafter, of the then effective exercise price of the Redeemable Warrants for all 15 of the trading days ending within three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption.
 
The Redeemable Warrants may be exercised on or prior to the expiration date by payment of the exercise price in cash for the number of Redeemable Warrants being exercised. The Redeemable Warrants will not be exercisable unless at the time of exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the applicable securities laws. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to maintain a current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants until the expiration of the Redeemable Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver registered securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver such securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. However, upon exercise of the Redeemable Warrants, the Company may satisfy the obligation to issue shares in unregistered stock and then continue to use its best efforts to register the shares of stock issued. In no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle a Redeemable Warrant exercise. Holders of Redeemable Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of the Company’s common stock or any voting rights until such holders exercise their respective warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock.

6. Stock Based Compensation Plan:
 
The Company adopted the 2005 stock option plan (the “Plan”) in October 2005. In addition to stock options, the Company may also grant performance accelerated restricted stock (“PARS”) under the Plan. The maximum number of shares issuable over the term of the Plan is limited to 600,000 shares.
 
The Plan permits the granting of stock options to employees (including employee directors and officers) and consultants of the Company, and non-employee directors of the Company. Options granted under the Plan have an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date and expire no later than five years from the grant date. The options generally become exercisable for 50% of the option shares one year from the date of grant and then 50% over the following 12 months. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has the discretion to use a different vesting schedule.
 
Due to the Company’s limited history as a public company, the Company has estimated expected volatility based on the historical volatility of certain comparable companies as determined by management. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rate appropriate for the term of the Company’s employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s intent not to issue a dividend under its dividend policy. The expected holding period assumption was estimated based on management’s estimate.
 
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it had been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based management’s estimate.
 
The fair value of each stock option grant to employees is estimated on the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option grant to non-employees is estimated on the applicable performance commitment date, performance completion date, or interim financial reporting date. No options were granted during the three and six months ended December 31, 2006.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006 85,000 options were granted to employees or non-employees. The following table summarizes information concerning options outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and for the six months ended December 31, 2006:

Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock (“PARS”)
 
PARS vest upon the achievement of certain targets, and are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. Upon consummation of the Offering, certain officers and directors and a consultant received PARS under the Plan. Of the total PARS granted to each executive officer or director and consultant, 25% will vest only if net sales equal or exceed $20 million during fiscal 2006 and another 25% will vest only if net profits equal or exceed $1 million during fiscal 2006. An additional 25% will vest only if net sales equal or exceed $50 million in fiscal 2007 and the final 25% will vest only if net profits equal or exceed $5 million during fiscal 2007. If the performance conditions are not met in the first year, no PARS will vest in such year. If the performance conditions are not met in the second year but cumulative amounts are achieved by the second year representing 80% or more of the cumulative target amounts for both years for a respective condition, then a percentage of the unvested PARS for both years will nevertheless vest in the second year in respect of such condition. In such event, the percentage of unvested PARS that will vest in the second year in respect of a particular performance condition will equal the percentage that such aggregate amount achieved in the first and second years represents of the aggregate amount required to be met by the respective condition for both years. The fair value is based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant-date and assumes that the target payout level will be achieved. Compensation cost will be adjusted for subsequent changes in the expected outcome of performance-related conditions until the vesting date. The Company will record stock based compensation expense equal to the fair value of the PARS once the likelihood of achievement of the performance targets becomes probable. As of December 31, 2006, 325,000 PARS awards are outstanding and none have vested as of December 31, 2006.

ITEM  2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes included elsewhere in this report. The matters discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
OVERVIEW
 
We were incorporated in Delaware in June 2003. Our primary business is the marketing and sale of our custom-designed digital cordless multi-handset phones bundled with Internet phone communications (Voice-over-Internet-Protocol or “VoIP”) services and/or prepaid long distance services. We sell our communications phone/service bundles under our “American Telecom”, “ATS”, “Digital Clear”, and “Pay N’ Talk” brand names. Our telecom platform is designed to enable seamless access to the communications services provided by our strategic partners. We are marketing our phone/service bundles to the retail mass market and anticipate expanding through a diversified group of retail channels. The channels include office superstores, electronics stores, mass retailers, department stores and Internet-based retail distribution outlets. We also are targeting the U.S. residential and small office/home office (“SOHO”) markets through the office superstore contract divisions. Our strategic telecom service partners include IDT Corporation, SunRocket, Inc. and Lingo, Inc. IDT is an established communications carrier for our prepaid long distance product/service offerings. SunRocket and Lingo are established and growing service providers for our VoIP offerings. In addition to the revenues we generate through the sales of our phone hardware, we receive a percentage of the monthly service revenues generated by users of our product/service offerings with our strategic partners. As part of our agreements with our retail partners in our retail distribution channels, we will typically share with them a portion of our service revenues.
 
Since our inception, we have focused on development activities, principally in connection with creating customized communications services to be provided by our strategic partners to users of our phones, developing new products, securing relationships with the third-party suppliers that will manufacture our phones to our specifications and developing retail and other distribution channels.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006 we continued production of our initial VoIP and prepaid residential long distance service phones and funded these initial manufacturing efforts from the proceeds of our initial public offering in February 2006 and from the net proceeds of our private placements of notes (the “Notes”) and private warrants conducted in September 2005. We received our initial purchase orders in September 2005 and shipments of our phones began arriving in retail stores in October 2005. Both our prepaid long distance and Internet phone/service bundles are available through our retail customers, catalogs, and online retail outlets.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Three and six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
Revenues In accordance with our revenue recognition policy which is outlined in the accompanying notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we recognize expenses relating to rebate promotions as a reduction of revenues.
 
Gross revenue in the three month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $9,915,159 and $317,869, respectively. Net revenue in the same periods was $7,373,921 and $298,940, respectively. In the three month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, we recognized rebate promotion expenses of $1,936,042 and $9,429, respectively.
 
Gross revenue in the six month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $14,443,412 and $317,869. Net revenue in the same periods was $11,157,708 and $298,940, respectively. In the six month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, we recognized rebate promotion expenses of $2,418,905 and $9,429, respectively.
 
The growth in revenues over the prior periods reflects our increase in distribution compared to periods with limited commercial activity.
 
Our phone product revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2006 were earned from a limited amount of customers, with two (2) customers representing 90% of our phone product revenues during the period.
 
We did not generate any revenues through September 30, 2005. Since we only began generating significant revenues during the fourth fiscal quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, our historical financial information is not necessarily indicative of our future financial performance.
 
17

Cost of Revenues—Cost of sales was $6,833,334 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and $231,597 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Cost of sales was $9,823,015 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and $231,597 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Cost of sales consists primarily of cost of phone inventory sold, including landing charges.
 
Gross Margin—Gross margin during the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $540,587 or 7.3%. The gross margin is a result of our net revenues less the cost of the phones, including transportation costs to acquire the phones. Gross margin in the six month period ending December 31, 2006 was $1,334,062, or 12%. Our gross margins have been adversely impacted by two key factors. First is the limited availability of our custom built microchips. As our growth and diversity in sales has accelerated at a higher rate than our original product development timeline, we have had to substitute open market chips for our custom built chips at a higher rate than originally anticipated in order to satisfy the increased demand for our products. These substitute open market chips require additional costs to customize and program in the production process. This increased use of the open market chips resulted in a cost differential that represented a 2.1 percentage points reduction to our gross margin for the three month period ended December 31, 2006. We do not expect any significant recurrence of our need to purchase open market chips for normal production of developed phones for ongoing sales, although we do anticipate that from time to time we may require limited numbers of open market chips to help speed the development and launch of new products. We do not expect this to be a persistent issue on fully developed and launched products. Accordingly, we do expect the gross margin to improve as production of our custom microchips rises to meet demand and as the sales from units sold during this quarter contribute service revenues in future quarters. The second and most material, was the increase in rebate promotion related expenses. We are required to recognize these expenses as a reduction of sales. In the three month period ending December 31, 2006, these charges totaled $1,936,042, compared to $9,429 in the three month period ending December 31, 2005. We chose to participate in key rebate promotions at our retailers in order to take advantage of promotional programs during the holiday shopping season. We used these promotions to increase consumers’ awareness of our brand and product offering and to incentive those consumers who do purchase our phones to activate service, which we anticipate will drive ongoing service commission revenue for us. Our expenditures for rebate promotions increased from $9,429 in the three month period ending December 31, 2005 to $1,936,042 in the three month period ending December 31, 2006. In the six month period ending December 31, 2006, promotional expense relating to rebates was $2,418,905.
 
Management evaluates gross margin by excluding the charges for rebates from revenue. This is a non GAAP measurement, however, we believe it is an important metric in our analyses on the growth trends in the core business. Under this perspective, adjusted to remove these rebate charges, gross margins in the three month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005 would be 26.6% and 24.9%, respectively. For the six month periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, the adjusted gross margin would be 27.6% and 24.9%.
 
Selling, Marketing and Development—Selling, marketing and development expense was $2,907,674 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and $339,887 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $2,567,787. Selling, marketing and development expense was $3,946,019 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and $445,685 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $3,500,334. This increase is attributable to the increase in our selling and marketing efforts related to sales of our phone products and the development of an extensive line of new products and services compared to minimal sales activities during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005. Selling, marketing and development expenses are directly associated with the development of products, recurring service revenue, distribution to sales channels and stimulating subscriber growth. These costs consist primarily of commissions, co-op marketing, promotional minutes, package design costs, collateral design costs, shipping to customers, advertising and certain non-recurring expenses for new business development. In the six month period ended December 31, we introduced and shipped 11 new Pay ‘N Talk® phones, which include masters, extensions, and multi handset packaging sets and began shipping our VoIP product offering. On January 8, 2007, we announced the introduction of over 30 new phone models, for which the expenses of product development in Asia, product packaging and collateral development were mainly incurred in this quarter. Additionally, we expanded our distribution which grew from approximately 9,000 outlets at June 30, 2006 to approximately 12,000 outlets as of December 31, 2006.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, $740,296 and $70,959, respectively, related to freight is included in selling expense. Of the $740,296 incurred in the three month period ended December 31, 2006, $448,153 is related to the incremental cost of air freight incurred by us to meet the accelerated demand from our retailers for our products for promotional events in the holiday shopping season. We chose to incur these additional costs to take advantage of the seasonal promotional events at our retail partners and to prevent damaging our relationships with retail partners. We made this decision in order to increase the penetration of our product and expose a greater number of consumers to our service offering. During the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximately $1,063,458 and $71,124 respectively represent the expense related to our incurrence of shipping charges.. Of the $1,063,458 incurred in the six months ended December, 31, 2006, $702,153 resulted from expedited air freight charges mainly to meet the increasing demand for our products and to take advantage of key promotional events.
 
In connection with our participation in the above-mentioned key marketing and promotional activities at our retail partners during the holiday season, we participated in cooperative advertising with our retail partners. This advertising was focused on increasing the consumer awareness of our brand and products as well as increasing the desire to purchase our phones and activate service with our service providers, which we anticipate will drive recurring service revenues for us. Accordingly, our expenditures in these areas increased substantially when compared to the expenditures in the comparitive periods in
 
18

the last fiscal year when our sales and promotional activity was limited. We did not have any cooperative advertising expenditures in the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2005. Our cooperative advertising expenditures in the three month period ending December 31, 2006 was $495,176 and $650,176 in the six month period ending December 31, 2006. Overall, these increases in promotional expenditures are related to the expansion in our distribution and the growth in our business over the prior periods.
 
On a non GAAP basis, including the costs of rebate promotions expenses, selling, marketing and development expense for the three month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $4,843,712 and $349,312, respectively, and under the same basis for the six month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $6,364,926 and $455,114, respectively.
 
General and Administrative — General and administrative expense was $1,400,570 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and $470,062 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $930,508. General and administrative expense was $2,870,135 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and $670,957 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $2,199,178. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, corporate overhead, travel and professional fees. The above increases reflect the growth in our operations to support increasing production, development and selling activities. General and administrative expenses also include share-based compensation expense of $34,736 and $143,301, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2006, respectively. No share based compensation awards were granted prior to our IPO in February 2006; therefore we recognized no share-based compensation expenses in the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2005.
 
Interest and Bank Charges, net—Interest and bank charges, net were an income of $6,768 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $57,056 of expense for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase in income of $63,824. The increase in income is due to no longer incurring interest expense on notes which were outstanding until the consummation of our IPO. Interest expense of $19,464 during the three months ended December 31, 2006 consists primarily of banking fees. Interest income of $26,232 during the three months ended December 31, 2006 relates to income earned on cash deposits maintained at financial institutions. Net interest resulted in an income of $92,172 for the six month period ended December 31, 2006 and was comprised of $116,705 in interest income and $24,533 of expense. Net interest resulted in an expense of $92,450 in the six month period ended December 31, 2005.
 
Amortization of Debt Discounts and Issuance Costs-Amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs are associated with our convertible notes which were issued in September 2005 and July 2005. Such costs were amortized over the life of the related debt. Upon consummation of our IPO in February 2006, the principal amount of the Notes and accrued interest payable thereon automatically converted into 750,240 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. Accordingly, there has been no amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts after our IPO. Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance cost were $0 and $127,482 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance cost were $0 and $204,091 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Net loss— Net loss was $(3,760,889), or $(0.58) per share, and $(927,144), or $(0.46) per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which was an increase of $2,833,755. Net loss was $(5,389,920), or $(0.83) per share, and $(1,345,840), or $(0.67) per share, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively, an increase of $4,044,080. We expect our losses may increase during the short term as we continue to develop our phone products and expand distribution of our phone/service bundles. However, we do anticipate that, as our business matures, we should trend toward profitability as we improve our hardware margins through increased utilization of our custom chips, take advantage of our increasing scale with our suppliers, manage our costs and leverage them against our planned recurring revenue base.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
On February 6, 2006 we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 3,350,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and 3,350,000 Redeemable Warrants (“Redeemable Warrants”). Additionally, in March 2006 we issued an additional 402,500 shares of Common Stock and 502,500 Redeemable Warrants upon the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters. Each Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $5.05 per share. Our gross
 
19

proceeds from the IPO totaled approximately $19.1 million. We incurred approximately $2.5 million in underwriting and other expenses in connection with the IPO, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $16.6 million. We utilized the net proceeds of the IPO to continue and expand commercial distribution of our phone/service bundles, develop and enhance product and service features and expand our contract manufacturing, sales and marketing capabilities and to generally fund our operations.
 
At December 31, 2006, our working capital was $9,768,394 compared to a working capital of $13,426,376 at September 30, 2006. Cash and cash equivalents was $1,429,043 at December 31, 2006 compared to $6,223,206 at September 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, working capital was $15,062,582. The principal components of working capital at December 31, 2006 were cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers and inventory, offset by an increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with the increase in activity associated with purchase and sales of our products. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to the consumption of cash to purchase inventory, to support our marketing and development efforts and to fund operations. Our customers are primarily large, United States based retail companies and, as a result, we have seldom experienced issues with the reliability or timing of customer receipts. However, vendors’ payment terms vary and are tightly managed to maximize working capital.
 
Operating Cash Flows
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, we utilized cash from our operating activities of $10,805,348, compared to $698,359 used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2005.
 
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2006 can be attributed to increases in accounts receivable, prepaid assets and inventory, and to cash used to fund our operating activities, offset by customer collections and increases in accrued expenses. Depreciation has been relatively minimal since our inception. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2005 related primarily to the commencement of our commercial operations and initial purchases of inventory.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, sales of our phone products resulted in an increase in accounts receivable in the amount of $6,779,601 from June 30, 2006, and a corresponding reduction in operating cash flow for the period.
 
Prepaid Expenses and Inventory
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006 we made payments to suppliers and vendors in advance of services being rendered. At December 31, 2006 prepaid expenses increased from June 30, 2006 which decreased operating cash flow by $50,533 in the period.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006 we built up our inventory in order to fulfill customer demand orders in our second and third quarter. At December 31, 2006 the increase in inventory decreased operating cash flow by $2,031,469.
 
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
 
The increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2006 was commensurate with the increase in our commercial operations, including purchases of our phone products and reserves associated with the increase in our revenues. This increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses improved operating cash flow by $1,427,398.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, cash used in investing activities was $138,374 compared to $16,732 used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2005.
 
20

Since our suppliers manufacture our phone products and we pay suppliers for warehouse space, we typically have very low levels of capital expenditures. We incur relatively minimal capital expenditures. We do not anticipate any material increases in capital expenditures and do not currently have any plans or proposed projects which would require any additional significant capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures are predominantly related to office fixtures and furnishings, computer equipment, software and software development. There are no known timing elements where our capital expenditure would be materially significant or differ from other periods.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2006, cash provided by financing activities was $0, compared to $1,498,609 provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2005.
 
During the period July 2005 through September 2005, we issued and sold in a series of private transactions an aggregate of $2,113,500 in principal amount of our 8% notes. Such notes were converted to common stock upon consummation of our IPO.
 
We will utilize the remaining net proceeds from our IPO to continue and expand commercial distribution of our phone/service bundles, develop and enhance product and service features and expand our contract manufacturing, sales and marketing capabilities and to generally fund our operations during the current fiscal year.
 
On January 18, 2007, we announced that we had secured an open ended asset-based financing facility from CIT Commercial Services, a division of CIT Group. CIT Commercial Services is one of the nation’s largest providers of factoring and commercial finance services.
 
On January 31, 2007, we announced the completion of a $12,500,000 private equity placement. Investors in this offering included, among others, Credit Suisse, SIAR Capital, and Benchmark Capital, as well as members of management and the board of directors. The private placement consisted of 5,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which is convertible into a total of 2,941,175 common shares, in addition to 1,176,471 5-year warrants, which carry an exercise price of $4.25. An 8% annual cash dividend will be paid semi-annually to holders of the preferred. The net proceeds of this offering contributed to an improvement in working capital.
 
We believe that the remaining proceeds of our prior private placements, the IPO, the recently secured asset based financing arrangement and the proceeds from our preferred stock offering, combined with certain minimum levels of anticipated revenues, will be sufficient to fund our capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, in light of the competitive nature of the telecommunications industry and the evolution of new phones and services from time to time, any estimate as to our liquidity and overall financial condition may change over time. Some factors that could affect our liquidity and overall financial condition are the timing of our introduction of our phone/service bundles, customer acceptance and usage of our phone/service bundles and competition from existing service providers and other telecommunications companies. To the extent that circumstances evolve in an unfavorable manner, we may generate lower revenues then we currently anticipate and, as a result, we would experience reduced cash flow. In such a series of events, we may be required to seek additional equity and/or debt financing.

ITEM3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity
 
Interest on lease agreements is based on the applicable lender’s base rates and cost of funds. We believe that our results of operation are not materially affected by changes in interest rates.
 
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
 
Although we operate a portion of our operations through our subsidiary in Hong Kong all of our revenues are earned in the United States and denominated in US dollars. It is our general policy to pay our underlying suppliers in the same currency that we receive customer revenue. Additionally, overhead expenditures associated with our Hong Kong office will appreciate or depreciate with any foreign exchange movements.
 
ITEM 4
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings, nor have we been involved in any such proceedings since our inception.
 
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
 
There have been no material changes in the risk factors from those disclosed in the risk factors section in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
 
ITEM 2
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The effective date of our registration statements, filed on From S-1 under the Securities Act (File No’s. 333-129361 and 333-131437) relating to the initial public offering of our Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants, was February 1, 2006. A total of 3,350,000 shares of Common Stock and 3,350,000 Redeemable Warrants were registered and sold in the offering which commenced on February 1, 2006 and closed on February 6, 2006. Additionally, in March 2006, we issued an additional 402,500 shares of Common Stock and 502,500 Redeemable Warrants upon the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters. The managing underwriter for the public offering was HCFP/Brenner Securities LLC.

EX-10.1 2 exh10-1_14930.htm AGREEMENT BETWEEN SUNROCKET AND REGISTRANT WWW.EXFILE.COM, INC. -- 14930 -- AMERICAN TELECOM SERVICES, INC. -- EXHIBIT 10.1 TO FORM 10-Q
 
EXHIBIT 10.1
This Agreement (“Agreement”), effective as of the date executed by the last to sign of the parties (“Effective Date”), between SunRocket, Inc. (“Service Provider” hereinafter referred to as “SP”), a Delaware corporation, located at 8045 Leesburg Pike, Suite 300, Vienna, Virginia 22182, and American Telecom Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ATS”) located at 2466 Peck Road, City of Industry, CA 90601 memorializes the obligations of the parties in connection with VoIP hardware (“Telephones” and/or “Telephone”) provided by ATS, associated with the ATS System (“ATS System”) as described in Appendix A and future versions of the Telephone (“New Telephones” and/or “New Telephone”) to be reviewed and approved by SP from time to time as further outlined herein. Such approval shall be subject to the certification process and requirements as set forth in Appendix F herein. SP provides Internet Phone services to consumers, including communications and customer services (“Services”) to support customer accounts (“Customer Account” or “Customer Accounts”). The Telephones and New Telephones shall be preconfigured to support an SP Customer Account. The Telephones shall be distributed to retail outlets for subsequent resale to consumers who then activate new Customer Accounts in conjunction with such Telephones and/or New Telephones (“End Users”) throughout the United States.
 
As of the Effective Date, all prior agreements between the parties, whether oral or written, including the agreement dated June 7, 2005, shall terminate.
 
1.  
ATS Obligations.
 
a.  
Upon execution of this Agreement, ATS will use commercially reasonable efforts to configure its Telephones and New Telephones to work with the SP Services. ATS will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide engineering and technical configuration support to SP as necessary to ensure its Telephones and New Telephones can support SP service features and quality standards. ATS will also ensure that the appropriate SP mark or marks (as determined by SP) are placed on each of the Telephones and New Telephones and any supporting equipment when inventory considerations and design specifications permit, at ATS’s sole discretion.
 
b.  
ATS further agrees to design the packaging and packaging inserts for the Telephones and New Telephones. ATS will ensure that the appropriate SP mark or marks (as determined by SP) will be placed on all packaging and packaging inserts. SP, with ATS’s cooperation and guidance, will provide all information and design for service offering inserts and information pertaining to the service offering for the packaging. ATS acknowledges that any retail packaging or materials shall include any information necessary to comply with FCC and FTC regulations as mutually agreed upon by the parties and provided for by ATS with respect to the Telephones and New Telephones and SP with respect to the Services. SP will have the right to review and approve the use of its brand, marks and colors and the representation of its service plans.
 

c.  
ATS will provide SP with all documentation and training materials associated with its Telephones and New Telephones so that SP can provide first level customer support. ATS further agrees to provide second level support and troubleshooting assistance for SP technical support. The account servicing obligations of each party, including the hours during which each party must provide such support, are described in Appendix D.
 
d.  
ATS will send to SP via FTP transfer data files on a periodic basis containing a list of MAC IDs for Telephones and New Telephones to be shipped to retailers or to be designated for corporate use. Such MAC IDs in the data file will be associated with the retailer that they are being shipped to (or otherwise designated as corporate use accounts). SP will enter these MAC IDs into their database, making the Telephones and New Telephones associated with those MAC IDs ready for activation by End Users, associate them with the designated retailer, and send an email to ATS acknowledging that the information has been entered into their system and that the associated hardware may be activated within seven (7) business days following the date that the file was received.
 
e.  
ATS will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all End User disputes regarding Telephones and New Telephones within a commercially reasonable amount of time.
 
2.

During the term and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, SP agrees to provide Telephone and New Telephone End Users with Services, subject to the terms contained herein.

SP will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all End User disputes regarding Services within a commercially reasonable amount of time.
 
c.  
Subject to FCC, FTC and any other governmental requirements, SP agrees to provide ATS with End User information as described in Appendix C, section 3. Such information shall constitute Confidential Information under this Agreement. ATS shall use such information only for the purposes specified in Appendix C and only in full compliance with SP’s privacy policy, the most recent copy of which is available at www.sunrocket.com/privacy.
 
d.  
SP shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure new End Users contacting SP to activate a Telephone or a New Telephone are activated on such devices so ATS receives appropriate credit for such Customer Account activations.

SP will use commercially reasonable efforts to produce such additional reports requested by ATS.
 
5.  
Deactivation. SP reserves the right to terminate Services to any Customer Account if it determines, in its sole discretion, that End Users of such Customer Accounts are actually or allegedly engaged in activities that are illegal, fraudulent or wrongful or which may be harmful to SP in any way. ATS shall receive a     *     report of all such deactivated Customer Accounts and SP shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasons for such deactivations. SP may also terminate End Users for non-payment or if they are violating the terms of SP’s “Terms of Service” as set forth on the SunRocket.com website and as may change from time to time.
 
6.  
Marketing and Distribution. ATS will use its commercially reasonable efforts to promote and market the Services in conjunction with the ATS System under this Agreement. ATS’s distribution of the Telephones and New Telephones in conjunction with the Services shall be limited initially to the Strategic Accounts identified in Section 9 below, except as further outlined below. Distribution of Telephones and New Telephones through any other retailer or channel (a “Non-Strategic Account”) may occur only if approved in writing in advance by SP, which approval is in SP’s sole discretion. ATS and SP agree that     *    ,     *    ,     *     and any accounts where ATS has already shipped products, to be limited to     *    ,     *    ,     *     and     *    , shall be considered approved Non-Strategic Accounts under this Agreement.

ATS shall be solely responsible for the development of all promotional and marketing materials, inserts and advertising materials (“Materials”) except as set forth in section 1 (b) above and SP shall have the right to approve in writing in advance the representation of the SP brand, logos, marks, service plans and any marketing positioning related to the SP Services on all such Materials.

sufficient to permit ATS to include the disclosures with the Telephones and/or New Telephones.
 
7.  
PAYMENT METHODS FOR SUBSCRIBERS. SP agrees to accept payment via credit card and debit card. More payment methodologies such as ACH and Pay Pal may be added in the future, but may require an additional fee, paid by the End User, for the use of Services (any such fees shall not be due any Commissions as defined in section 10 below).
 
8.  
MARKETING CO-OP PAYMENTS. SP agrees to pay     *     per Customer Account activated on Telephones through any Non-Strategic Account (as defined in Section 6 above), as applicable. Such payments will be payable on all such Customer Accounts activated through Non-Strategic Accounts that are active thirty (30) days post initial Customer Account activation. SP agrees to pay     *     per Customer Account activated on New Telephones through any Non-Strategic Account (as defined in Section 6 above), as applicable. Such payments will be payable on all such Customer Accounts activated through Non-Strategic Accounts that are active sixty (60) days post initial Customer Account activation. Such payments will be allocated by ATS for the promotion and marketing of Services, such that the creative design of such promotions shall conform with section 1(b) and section 19 herein. On a regular and timely basis, ATS will provide SP in advance with a summary plan for spending allocations and purposes, plus regular performance reports as specified in Appendix C.3 and SP shall have the right to audit such spending and confirm matching payment by ATS and confirm that such funds were used solely for the purpose of marketing the combination of the ATS System and SP’s Service.

Revenue (“Commissions”) to ATS for each End User who purchases a Telephone or New Telephone through ATS, a Strategic Account or a Non-Strategic Account and newly activates a Customer Account in conjunction with such purchase as outlined below. The term “Net Revenue” means gross revenues collected less any service credits, taxes and regulatory mandated fees incurred by SP.
 
End Users Of Telephones: For the first     *     in monthly Net Revenue per End User using a Telephone, SP agrees to pay ATS     *    percent (    *    %) of the Net Revenue for any Customer Account activated. For monthly Net Revenue per End User using a Telephone exceeding     *    , SP agrees to pay ATS     *     percent (    *    %) of the Net Revenue in excess of     *    .
 
End Users of New Telephones: Except for End Users on SP’s limited monthly plan (currently priced at $9.95), SP agrees to pay ATS: (i)     *     percent (    *    %) of the Net Base Plan Revenue (as defined below) for any End User using a New Telephone for the first twelve (12) months following activation; plus (ii)     *     percent (    *    %) of the Net Base Plan Revenue for any End User using a New Telephone during the second twelve (12) months following activation; plus (iii)     *     percent (    *    %) of the Net Base Plan Revenue for any End User using a New Telephone during the third twelve (12) months following activation. For purposes of calculating Commissions payable on End Users of New Telephones, “Net Base Plan Revenue” shall mean gross revenue collected on such End User’s base telephony service plan, less any service credits related to such End User’s base telephony plan, taxes and regulatory mandated fees associated with such base telephony service plan. “Net Base Plan Revenue” shall not include revenue from any additional services sold on top of such End User’s base telephony service plan.
 
All payments to ATS shall be made via wire transfer by the 25th day of each month for the prior month’s activity, provided that no such payment shall be made for a sum less than $10,000, in which case the amount shall be accrued in an account earmarked for ATS and paid with the next payment due to ATS. Upon reaching minimum monthly volume levels, each payment shall be accompanied by a detailed report that includes a month-to-date activity summary for the covered period, listed by Customer Account as formatted in Appendix C.
 
Commissions on End Users who activate monthly plans shall be payable on monthly Net Revenue or Net Base Plan Revenue as received by SP. For End Users of the Telephones and/or New Telephones who sign up for a SP prepaid plan (i.e. any SP plan where payment for a period in excess of a month is made up-front), applicable gross revenue for purposes of calculating Net Revenue/Net Base Plan Revenue and associated Commissions due in a given month of the term of such prepayment shall be equal to the prepaid amount spread evenly over the number of months to which such prepayment applies, assuming such End User

still has an active Customer Account with SP. If such End User no longer has an active Customer Account with SP, no further Commissions shall be due to ATS.
 
For example, if an End User of a Telephone signs up for a $199 prepaid annual plan, gross service revenue used for calculating Net Revenue and associated Commissions payable on such End User for a particular month shall be equal to $16.58, which equals $199 divided by 12. If, however, such End User no longer has a Customer Account, no Commission payment shall be due to ATS on the refunded amount.
 
11.  
AGENT FEES. SP agrees to pay ATS an Agent Fee (“Agent Fee”) for each activated Customer Account generated by ATS that remains active for a period of at least     *     days according to the table as set forth in Appendix B. All payments to ATS shall be made to ATS via wire transfer by the 25th day of each month for the prior month’s activity, provided that no such payment shall be made for a sum less than $10,000, in which case the amount shall be accrued in an account earmarked for ATS and paid with the next payment due to ATS. Each payment shall be accompanied by a detailed report that includes a month-to-date activity summary for the covered period, listed by Customer Account.
 
12.  
RATES AND SERVICE PLANS. SP agrees to offer End Users the same Services plans it offers generally to its prospective subscribers, excluding limited-time special promotions. If ATS would like to create a special promotion to offer End Users, it will (i) obtain written approval from SP prior to offering such special promotion and (ii) fully fund the cost of such promotion (for example, if ATS were to offer prospective End Users a special promotion of three (3) free months of SP service when signing up for the $24.95 monthly plan, it would pay SunRocket $24.95 per month less applicable commissions during which SunRocket is not able to collect such revenue from such End Users due to the special promotion; similarly, if ATS were to offer End Users a promotion of three (3) free months of SP service when signing up for the $199 annual plan, it would pay SP $16.58 per month less applicable commissions of the promotion). ATS payments to SP for the above promotional activities may be netted against SP Agent Fees, Commissions and any other monies payable by SP to ATS, assuming such monies in the given month are sufficient to offset ATS’ promotional activities in the month.
 
13.  
REBATES. SP agrees to pay ATS     *     percent (    *    %) of the redemption value of any rebates offered on phone master base station units and/or combination package containing the master base station unit and any number of expansion units for Telephones and New Telephones up to a maximum advertised rebate of     *    . SP agrees to pay ATS     *     percent (    *    %) of the redemption value of any rebates offered on phone expansion units for Telephones up to a maximum advertised rebate of     *     (“Rebate”). SP shall not bear the cost of any rebates associated with phone expansion units for New Telephones. ATS will invoice SP for the Rebate deposit prior to SP making any Rebate redemption payments. All payments to ATS shall be made to ATS via wire transfer on a bi-weekly basis, based on documented redemption.

Appendix A: The ATS System
 
The ATS System is a multi-handset cordless broadband phone. The master unit connects directly, using an RJ-45 connection, into the End User’s modem or router. Each master unit is able to connect with multiple extension handsets. The extension handsets receive their network connection by communicating with the master unit using radio. Their bases only serve to re-charge their battery. This phone, and future phones within this classification includes systems that have multiple handset configurations regardless of the radio technology that is used.
