NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

 

NOTE 1     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

General

 

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of VelaTel Global Communications, Inc. (formerly China Tel Group, Inc.) (“Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Capital Structure

 

The Company’s capital stock consists of three series of its stock for which there are shares issued and outstanding: (i) Series A common stock (“Series A Common Stock,” “Series A Shares” or “Shares”); (ii) Series B common stock (“Series B Common Stock” or “Series B Shares”); and (iii) Series B Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Shares”). Series A Common Stock, together with Series B Common Stock, are collectively referred to in these Notes as “Common Stock”. The par value of each share of every series of the Company’s capital stock is $0.001.

 

Series A Shares are quoted on the OTC Link™ quotation platform of OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “OTCQB:VELA.” The holder of each Series A Share has the right to cast one vote at any duly called meeting of shareholders or pursuant to a written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting.

 

Series B Shares do not participate in any declared dividends, have no rights upon liquidation of the Company and have no conversion rights into shares of Series A Shares. The Company is required to redeem each Series B Share that is issued and outstanding on May 23, 2023, at its par value. The holder of each Series B Share has the right to cast ten votes at any duly called meeting of shareholders or pursuant to a written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting. The consent of 80% of the issued and outstanding Series B Shares is required in order to sell, assign or transfer any of the Series B Shares, or to grant proxies or voting rights with respect to any shares of Series B Common Stock, except for any proxies granted to George Alvarez.

 

Series B Preferred Shares rank, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution: (i) senior to Series A Shares with respect to dividends and rights upon liquidation; and (ii) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company. The holder of each Series B Preferred Share has no right to vote at any duly called meeting of shareholders or pursuant to a written consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting, provided that, without the affirmative approval of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Shares (voting as a class), the Company may not: (i) authorize or issue any class of stock that is not junior to the Series B Preferred Shares in right of dividends and/or liquidation; (ii) change the rights given to Series B Preferred Shares; (iii) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business of the Company; or (iv) effect any merger, consolidation or similar transaction the effect of which the capital stock of the Company would not constitute a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the surviving entity.

 

Upon any liquidation, after payment or provision for payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares will be entitled to be paid out of the Company’s assets available for distribution at $10,000 per Series B Preferred Share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Dividends accrue on each Series B Share from the date of issuance at 2.50% compounded annually. Each Series B Preferred Share may be redeemed by the Company or converted by either the Company or the holder of such Series B Preferred Share at the sum of the following: (i) $10,000; plus (ii) the Embedded Derivative Liability (as defined in the Certificate of Designations); less (iii) any dividends that have been paid (“Redemption Price”). Upon a conversion, the Company is required to issue a number of Series A Shares equal to: (iv) the Redemption Price; multiplied by (v) the number of Series B Shares subject to conversion; divided by (vi) $0.20 per Series A Share.

Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation

 

On July 23, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”), by Unanimous Written Consent, adopted a resolution to file with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (“A&R Articles”) containing the following substantive changes to the Articles of Incorporation previously on file with the Nevada Secretary of State: (i) increasing the number of authorized shares of Series A Common Stock from 1,000,000,000 to 10,000,000,000; (ii) increasing the number of authorized shares of Series B Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000; (iii) withdrawing the designation of up to 20,000,000 authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock and instead treating such shares as undesignated Preferred Stock; (iv) prescribing that future amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation may, to the maximum extent allowable by Nevada law, be approved by resolution of the Board and without necessity of approval by the Company’s shareholders (provided that future amendments which increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock for which there are shares outstanding will continue to require shareholder approval); and (v) electing not to be governed by certain provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes governing “acquisition of a controlling interest” and/or “combinations with interested shareholders (collectively, “Action”). In addition, the Board recommended that the shareholders of the Company’s Common Stock approve the Board’s proposal by adopting a majority written consent in lieu of voting at a general or special meeting of shareholders. The Board fixed a record date of July 23, 2013 (“Record Date”) for purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to vote on the proposal to adopt the A& R Articles as detailed above.

 

On July 23, 2013 and pursuant to section 78.320 of the NRS, the Company received, by written consent in lieu of a regular or special meeting, votes in favor of the Action by shareholders holding 14,213,138 Series A Shares (with a power of one vote per share) and 40,000,000 Series B Shares (with a power of ten votes per share), equaling 54.6% of the total voting power of all of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, the Company filed a Preliminary Information Statement with the SEC on July 26, 2013, and a Definitive Information Statement on August 20, 2013. The Definitive Information Statement was also mailed to the Company’s shareholders beginning August 20, 2013. The Action became effective on September 19, 2013 when the A&R Articles were accepted for filing by the Nevada Secretary of State.

 

Subsidiaries and Consolidation

 

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority owned subsidiaries. The wholly owned subsidiaries whose results are reported are Trussnet USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Trussnet Nevada”), Gulfstream Capital Partners, Ltd., a Republic of Seychelles corporation (“Gulfstream Seychelles”), Gulfstream Capital Partners, Ltd., a Cayman Island corporation (“Gulfstream Cayman”) and Beijing Yunji Technology Co., Ltd., a Peoples Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) corporation (“Beijing Yunji”). The Company’s majority owned subsidiaries are a 75% equity interest of Herlong Investments, Ltd., a Cyprus corporation, and Herlong’s two wholly owned subsidiaries, (collectively, “Herlong”), Novi-Net, d.o.o., a Croatian corporation (“Novi-Net”) and Montenegro Connect, d.o.o., a Montenegro corporation (“Montenegro Connect”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company also holds a 100% equity interest in China Motion Telecom (HK) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“China Motion”). The accounts of China Motion are not consolidated in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements because the Company determined that during the period ending September 30, 2013 it did not have effective control of the operations of China Motion, as further explained in Note 18 – Acquisition.

 

The Company also held majority interests in two subsidiaries disposed of prior to the filing of this Report, a 95% equity interest in VelaTel Peru, S.A., formerly known as Perusat, S.A., a Peru corporation (“VelaTel Peru”) (disposition transaction described in Note 19 – Dispositions/Discontinued Operations), and a 75% equity interest in Zapna, ApS, a Danish corporation (“Zapna”) (disposition transaction descried in Note 20 – Subsequent Events). The Company has not been able to obtain accurate financial information for VelaTel Peru or Zapna for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which has required the Company to make estimates regarding the third quarter activity.  In the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations, the operating results for VelaTel Peru are presented as income (loss) from operations from discontinued operations and as gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operation. The operating results for Zapna are presented as income (loss) from operations from discontinued operations. 

Segment Reporting

 

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Report,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  ASC Topic 280 has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company consists of one reportable business segment.  All revenue is from telecommunications operations.

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Fair Values

 

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

Accounting For Bad Debt and Allowances

 

Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis.

 

Inventories

 

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

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

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

 

The Company amortized its identifiable intangible assets over the period which the asset is expected to contribute to future cash flows.  The estimated useful life of developed software is ten years.  The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or indicate that impairment exists.

 

9
 

The Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill and other intangible assets under ASC subtopic 350-10, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other.  In accordance with ASC 350-10, the Company tests its intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired.  Any write-downs will be included in results from operations.

 

Functional Currency

 

The accounts of Novi-Net are maintained in Croatian Kuna, the accounts of Herlong and Montenegro Connect are maintained in the Euro and the accounts of China Motion are maintained in Hong Kong Dollars. The accounts of these foreign subsidiaries or investments were translated into US dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” According to ASC Topic 830: (i) all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates; (ii) stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates; and (iii) statement of operation items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statements of income.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

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

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs, which are included in selling, administrative and general, are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were not significant.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

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

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

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

 

Research and Development

 

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

 

10
 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 220 Comprehensive Income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, or its financial condition.

 

NOTE 2     GOING CONCERN MATTERS

 

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $15,273,243 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In addition, the Company had negative working capital of $46,803,354 and a total deficiency of $49,120,207 as of September 30, 2013.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

NOTE 3     INVESTMENTS

 

Sino Crossings Joint Venture

 

On November 11, 2010, the Company entered into two related subscription and shareholder agreements, collectively the “Sino Crossings Agreements.” Under the Sino Crossings Agreements, the parties will each contribute certain defined resources in order to upgrade existing installed but unimproved by infrastructure equipment fiber optic cable located in China with engineering services and equipment that will make it suitable for transmission of data and to charge market rate transport fees to telecommunications operators who use the lit fiber comprising the “Sino Crossings Network.” On December 2, 2010, the Company issued to Azur 90,000 shares of its Series A Common Stock valued at $1,431,000.

 

11
 

The Company expects to utilize the fiber for the same purposes for its China based projects, but at a discount compared to amounts charged to third party telecommunication providers.  On December 2, 2011, the Company and Azur amended their agreement to require Azur to undertake additional duties. On that same date, the Company issued to Azur 150,000 additional shares of its Series A Common Stock valued at $1,230,000. The Company will record its equity interest in the profit and loss of the operating company to be formed pursuant to the Sino Crossings Agreements once the entity is formed and operations commence.

 

On July 13, 2012, Azur served a Notice of Arbitration on the Company.  The arbitration was filed with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre and was brought pursuant to Article 3 of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law Arbitration Rules for breach of the Sino Crossings Agreements. The Notice of Arbitration alleges that Azur suffered damages and losses due to breaches by the Company in implementing the terms of the Sino Crossings Agreements.  In the Notice of Arbitration, Azur demanded acknowledgment of termination and a declaration of rescission of the Sino Crossings Agreements.  Further, it demanded indemnification by the Company for Azur’s claimed damages, including $2,000,000 Azur paid to Shanghai Ying Yue Network Technology Ltd. (“YYNT”) pursuant to the first Sino Crossings Agreement. On August 11, 2012, the Company responded to the allegations of Azur, asserted counterclaims against Azur and named additional parties the Company requested be joined into the arbitration proceeding.  An arbitrator has been appointed, but there have been no rulings on the Company’s request to join additional parties or on any substantive matters. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company wrote off its entire investment in the Sino Crossings joint venture of $2,661,000 which is included in “impairment of investments” in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

VN Tech Fuel Cell Business

 

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

 

The VN Tech Amended Shareholder Agreement became effective on April 22, 2012, when it was signed by all parties. All transfers of stock and other formalities described in the VN Tech Amended Shareholder Agreement are considered contractual obligations subsequent, not conditions precedent, to the rights and obligations of the parties contemplated in the VN Tech Amended Shareholder Agreement. On April 22, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Common Stock valued at $224,000 to Luo pursuant to the VN Tech Amended Shareholder Agreement. As of December 31, 2012, the Company made the determination that the full amount of this investment was impaired.

 

Herlong and its Operating Subsidiaries Novi-Net and Montenegro Connect

 

On December 6, 2011, the Company entered into a Business Cooperation Agreement with 7L Capital Partners Emerging Europe, L.P. (“7L”) and others to acquire a 75% equity interest in Herlong and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries Novi-Net and Montenegro Connect. In exchange for its 75% equity interest in Herlong, the Company agreed to contribute all capital and operating expenditures necessary to deploy and operate the “Novi-Net Network” and the “Montenegro Network” until each of Novi-Net and Montenegro Connect attain a positive cash flow.

 

12
 

On April 2, 2012, the Company closed its acquisition of 75% of Herlong by paying a €500,000 ($668,402 based on the exchange rate on the closing date), plus credit for a €528,086 ($649,546 based on the exchange rate on the closing date) deposit on an initial equipment order placed with ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) described below. Herlong issued the Company 48,843 shares of its common stock, which represents 75% of Herlong’s total number of its shares of common stock that are issued and outstanding. The BCA calls for minimum installments towards the Company’s total investment of €500,000 each within 90, 180 and 270 days following the closing date, plus €271,904 within 360 days of the closing date (a total of approximately $2,272,000 based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2013). The Company’s obligation to make these additional investment installments is secured by a pledge of it 48,843 shares of Herlong’s common stock pursuant to a stock pledge and an escrow agreement. The Company has made additional payments toward its Herlong acquisition in the form of: (i) $850,454 as additional down payment to ZTE related to the equipment contracts described below; and (ii) $105,128 paid to Joinmax Engineering & Consulting Services (HK), Ltd. (“Joinmax”) for shipping logistics services. Of that, $500,000 of the down payments to ZTE and $105,128 of the consulting services to Joinmax were in the form of liabilities relieved through assignment of those creditors’ receivables with the Company through assignment to Ironridge Global.

 

On July 3, 2012, 7L delivered a notice of default to the Company contending the Company had failed to timely pay the €500,000 investment installment called for under the BCA to be made within 90 days of closing. The Company contended that the additional payments made to ZTE and Joinmax on Herlong’s behalf satisfied this requirement. The Company prepared and delivered to 7L but did not file a notice of arbitration pursuant to the BCA. On October 8, 2012, the Company and 7L entered into a compromise agreement whereby the €500,000 installment due within 90 days of closing, as well as the €271,904 installment due within 360 days of closing would be deemed paid provided the Company paid in cash directly to Herlong by October 19, 2012 the €500,000 installment due within 180 days of closing. The deadline for this payment was later extended to November 26, 2012. The compromise agreement provides that if the €500,000 is not timely made, both parties reserve all rights under their respective notices of default and arbitration. To date, the Company has not fully paid the €500,000 installment called for under the compromise agreement, or the additional €500,000 installment called for under the BCA to be made within 270 days of closing. Since the extended deadline under the compromise agreement, the Company has paid $144,710 directly to Herlong in various installments and on various dates through the period ended September 30, 2013. Neither the Company nor 7L have proceeded further in exercising the rights each reserved under their respective notices of default and arbitration.

Equity Funding Agreements

 

Ironridge Technology Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On December 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Ironridge Technology SPA”) with Ironridge Technology Co., a division of Ironridge Global, IV, Ltd (“Ironridge Global” and collectively, “Ironridge Technology”), for the sale of 1,200 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Shares”), at a price of $10,000 per share, for a total purchase price of $12,000,000. The first closing occurred on December 17, 2012 by direct wire transfer of $600,000 to the designated escrow holder under the China Motion SPA (defined below), as the down payment deposit for this acquisition. Each successive closing is to occur on the first day of each calendar month, subject to fulfillment of designated equity conditions as defined in the Certificate of Designations. Ironridge Technology was received a one-time non-refundable commitment fee of 60 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in consideration for providing the $12 million irrevocable funding commitment.

 

In addition on December 14, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to fix the dividend, conversion, redemption, voting rights and other attributes of the Series B Preferred Shares called for under the Ironridge Technology SPA. The Company may redeem or the Company or any shareholder of any share of Series B Preferred Shares may convert one or more Series B Preferred Shares into Series A Shares at $10,000 per Series B Preferred Share being redeemed or converted, divided by the fixed conversion price of $0.20 per Series A Share together with the sum of accrued dividends, plus an embedded derivative liability, divided by 81% of the closing bid price for such Series A Shares during an equity conditions measuring period. The attributes of the Series B Preferred Shares are set forth in the Certificate of Designations (discussed in Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies).

Ironridge Technology Registration Rights Agreement

 

On December 14, 2012, the Company and Ironridge Technology also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“RRA”). Under the RRA, the Company is required to file an S-1 Registration Statement with the SEC to cover the resale of any Series A Shares issued upon conversion of Series B Preferred Shares (collectively, “Registrable Securities”). The Company is required to use its best efforts to cause an S-1 Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act and to file such amendments as are necessary for the S-1 Registration Statement is to remain continuously effective for registration of such additional Registrable Securities as are subsequently issued under the Ironridge Technology SPA.

 

On December 17, 2012, the Company issued Ironridge 120 Series B Preferred Shares in exchange for $600,000 that the Company paid as a deposit for its China Motion acquisition. The Series B Preferred Shares can be converted into Series A Shares. The conversion feature was determined by the Company to be a derivative instrument and will be adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date. The initial derivative liability was determined to be $2,133,333 which was recorded as a liability. The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Shares was reduced by $600,000, and the remaining $1,533,333 was recorded to accumulated deficit.

 

On January 30, 2012, the Company filed an S-1 Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) contemplated by the RRA. The S-1 Registration Statement seeks to register 32,000,000 Series A Shares issuable upon conversion of shares of its Series B Preferred Shares. The number of Series A Shares to be registered was determined based on one-third of the Company’s public float as of January 27, 2013. On February 25, 2013, the SEC submitted its first comment letter in response to the filing. The SEC requested the Company to provide updated Financial Statements for the S-1 Registration Statement and indicated that it believed the Ironridge Technology SPA is an “equity line agreement” and, therefore, constitutes an “indirect primary offering” which the SEC does not permit. The Company has not taken any further steps to attempt to resolve the concerns raised by the SEC.

 

Ironridge Technology Waiver Agreement

 

On February 26, 2013, the Company and Ironridge Technology entered into a Waiver Agreement, pursuant to which Ironridge Technology waived completion of certain conditions described in the Ironridge Technology SPA to allow the Company to call for a closing to occur. Pursuant to and on the date of the Waiver Agreement, Ironridge Technology agreed to purchase 75 Series B Preferred Shares and to pay the Company $750,000. The Company also agreed to issue Ironridge Technology 75 Series B Preferred Shares as a non-refundable fee for entering into the Waiver Agreement. The Waiver Agreement also provides for certain restrictions on the Company’s right to negotiate or enter into financing arrangements with potential investors other than Ironridge Technology or its affiliates while any Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding and for six months after their conversion to Series A Shares. The Waiver Agreement requires the Company to immediately reserve 492,000,000 Series A Shares for potential issuance to Ironridge Technology and to, as soon as possible, amend its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized Series A Shares to a number sufficient to also cover subsequent closings and future conversions of Series B Preferred Shares into Series A Shares as contemplated in the Ironridge Technology SPA.

 

On February 27, 2013, Ironridge Technology paid the Company $750,000 and the Company issued Ironridge Technology 150 Series B Preferred Shares. The conversion feature was determined by the Company to be a derivative instrument and will be adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date. The initial derivative liability was determined to be $9,000,000 which was recorded as a liability. The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Shares was reduced by $750,000 and the remaining $8,250,000 was recorded to accumulated deficit.

Approximate total contract price - $820,300 for 25 base transceiver stations, including their back up power supply and installation materials, 32 microwave radios and antennae, and data center core equipment including back up power supply, gateway equipment, servers, routers, switches and racks.

 

Equipment Contract and Purchase Order for Novi-Net. Approximate total contract price - $1,280,250 for 50 base transceiver stations, including their back up power supply and installation materials, nine microwave radios and antennae and data center core equipment, including back up power supply, gateway equipment, servers, routers, switches and racks.

 

22
 

Software Contract and Purchase Order for Herlong. Approximate Total Contract Price - $4,901,300 for all software associated with the equipment described above, including access gateways, lawful interception gateways, elements management, network management systems, operations maintenance, universal subscriber databases, switching and router software, and mobile broadband wireless base transceiver stations software systems.

 

Terms Common to or Combined for all Contracts Each of Montenegro Connect, Novi-Net and Herlong are contracting parties to one contract and its associated purchase order for purposes of delivery of goods and allocation of value on the balance sheets of the Company’s subsidiaries. Herlong will license the software it has contracted to purchase to Montenegro Connect and Novi-Net. The Company is a contracting party to all contracts and purchase orders for purposes of guaranteed payment of the purchase price. The Company had previously paid $1 million as a deposit to ZTE that was applied against the aggregate down payment for all contracts, and has since paid an additional $500,000 down payment. Each installment of down payment has been allocated pro rata in relation to the total contract price for each contract.

 

The contract terms common to all three contracts and all three purchase orders are as follows: (i) all equipment and software includes a one-year warranty; (ii) the delivery terms are “FCA Hong Kong,” under which term the Company is responsible for payment of shipping and other costs of transport to final destination, customs, duty and value added tax; and (iii) the purchase price, net of the down payment described above, is financed by ZTE for 2.5 years with a one-year grace period commencing on the bill of lading date for each purchase order. The principal amount financed is payable in three equal semi-annual installments, with the first installment due 180 days after expiration of the grace period. Interest accrues on the unpaid balance at an interest rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.5%. Each installment will include principal repayment plus the interest accrued. ZTE has a mortgage on 100% of the goods covered under each contract. The Company believes all of the terms of each contract are standard in commercial contracts of a similar nature.

 

NOTE 16    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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

 

23
 

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements consisted of the following items as of September 30, 2013:

 

   Quoted Prices             
   in Active   Significant         
   Markets for   Other   Significant     
   Identical   Observable   Unobservable     
   Instruments   Inputs   Inputs     
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Derivative Liability  $   $   $18,186,760   $18,186,760 
                     
    Rollforward                 
    of Balance                
Balance, December 31, 2012  $6,393,863                
Derivative liability for Series B preferred stock   9,900,000                
Derivative liability for convertible notes   741,264                
Change in value of derivative liability during 2013   1,151,633                
Balance, September 30, 2013  $18,186,760                

 

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

 

NOTE 17    NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

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

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Series A Shares outstanding during each period.  It excludes the dilutive effects of potentially issuable common shares such as those related to the Company’s convertible notes.  Diluted net loss per share is calculated by including potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator.  However, diluted net loss per share for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 do not reflect the effects of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of convertible notes and outstanding warrants.  These potentially issuable shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the Company’s net loss per share.

 

NOTE 18    ACQUISITION

 

China Motion Telecom (HK) Limited

 

On November 27, 2012, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Gulfstream Seychelles, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“China Motion SPA”) with (i) China Motion Telecom International Limited; (ii) its wholly owned subsidiary China Motion Holdings Limited; and (iii) China Holdings’ 95% subsidiary ChinaMotion InfoServices Limited (collectively “Seller”) to acquire 100% of the capital stock of China Motion. In addition, the Company provided Seller a corporate guaranty of the obligations of Gulfstream Seychelles under the China Motion SPA. The China Motion SPA was amended on two occasions prior to closing. The Company closed its acquisition of China Motion on March 1, 2013. Funds paid or payable under the China Motion SPA (as amended) are in Hong Kong dollars. Currency conversions to US dollars are expressed in parentheses at a conversion rate of HK$7.75=US$1.00, with the US equivalent rounded to the nearest US$100, and are therefore approximate and may change as of the date any amount was paid or becomes or became payable. The material terms of the China Motion SPA (as amended) are as follows:

 

24
 

(i) The total purchase price for 100% of the capital stock of China Motion (“China Motion Stock”) is HK$49,500,000 (US$6,387,100). The Company paid HK$12,009,363 (US$1,549,600) in cash at or prior to closing and HK$37,490,637 (US$4,837,500) as the principal balance of a promissory note (“Note”) issued by the Company at closing. The purchase price is subject to the following adjustments, as determined by audit of China Motion’s balance sheet as of February 28, 2013 that is to be completed within four months of closing: (a) a credit to Seller equal to the balance of all cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, inventory and prepayments to others; and (b) a credit to the Company equal to the balance of all accounts payable, accruals and other payables and advanced income received. The aggregate cash balance in China Motion’s accounts as of closing was in the agreed amount of HK$7,800,000 (US$1,006,500).

 

(ii) The Note is in the total amount of HK$38,990,637.45 (US$5,031,000), of which the principal balance of HK$37,490,637 (US$4,837,500) is applicable to the purchase price and the remaining HK$1,500,000 (US$193,500) represents interest that will accrue on the Note through its maturity and is not part of the purchase price. The Note calls for a payment of HK$4,650,000 (US$600,000) principal only on or before May 31, 2013 (which the Company paid on or about June 27, 2013) and the remaining HK$32,840,637.45 (US$4,237,500) balance of principal and accrued interest due on or before August 31, 2013.

 

(iii) As security for repayment of the Note, the Company pledged the China Motion Stock to Seller pursuant to the terms of a Stock Pledge Agreement. Seller is acting as an interim escrow agent under the Stock Pledge Agreement, subject to appointment of a substitute escrow agent the parties are to locate and retain and who is willing to accept substantially all of the material terms of the Stock Pledge Agreement.

 

(iv) For so long as the Note remains unpaid, Seller is entitled to appoint one of three or more members of China Motion’s board of directors, and the following fundamental decisions require the unanimous consent of all directors and the written consent of Seller: (a) borrow any sum or enter into any contract for capital expenditures that is in excess of HK$1,500,000 (US$193,500) or is outside the course of China Motion’s general business model as a telecommunications service provider; (b) vary any rights attaching to any of China Motion’s shares; (c) consolidate or merge with or acquire any other business or dispose of any existing capital assets of China Motion; (d) issue any China Motion shares or create or issue any debentures or other securities convertible into shares or debentures; (e) pass any resolutions in general meeting or by way of written resolution relating to wind-up or dissolution of China Motion; and (f) distribute any profits of China Motion.

 

(v) The Company commits to begin upgrading China Motion’s telecommunications network. China Motion will bear the expenses of engineering services rendered in connection with such upgrade, upon reasonable commercial terms estimated to total approximately no more than HK$1,300,000 (US$167,700) per month.

 

(vi) The Company agrees to pay to Seller at closing HK$387,500 (US$50,000) towards reimbursement of total costs and disbursements to the professional fees incurred by Seller in connection with the first amendment and the second amendment, which payment is in addition to and is not part of the purchase price.

 

(vii) For a period of one year following the Closing, Seller will assist the Company with managing relationships between the Company and key suppliers and customers by assigning an executive representative of Seller who has significant past experience managing those relationships on behalf of the Company.

 

(viii) Each party to the China Motion SPA makes certain representations and warranties regarding their respective corporate status and authority, and Seller regarding the financial status of China Motion and its past operations, all upon terms the Company believes are standard in transactions of this nature. The maximum aggregate damages the Company may recover for one or more breach of Seller’s representations and warranties is 70% of the purchase price set forth in the China Motion SPA. Any such claim must be brought no later than 24 months after Closing. In addition, the Company agrees to hold Seller harmless from any claims or damages arising solely out of or in connection with the Company taking over China Motion during the time period between closing and the final termination of the Stock Pledge Agreement, including any diminution of the value of the net current assets of China Motion to a level below their net value as of closing.

 

(ix) The China Motion SPA is governed under Hong Kong law, and any disputes are to be resolved through arbitration conducted in Hong Kong.

 

25
 

Although the Company owns 100% of the shares of China Motion, as of the period ending September 30, 2013, the Company does not believe it can control China Motion, because the management of China Motion continued to follow instructions of the Seller that blocked significant decisions made by the Company in the ordinary course of business. Most significantly, the Company was unable to change signature authority on the bank accounts maintained by China Motion in a manner that would allow the Company’s representatives to approve or issue payments from those accounts without also obtaining the authority or counter-signature of a representative of the Seller. The dispute between the Company and the Seller that gave rise to the Company’s lack of control of China Motion is further described in Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies. The Company’s inability to control management of China Motion was discovered in June 2013. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company believes this lack of control over management is significant enough to overcome the presumption of consolidation by the Company even though it is the majority shareholder. Instead, the Company is accounting for its acquisition of China Motion on the cost method. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company determined that its investment in China Motion must be completely impaired and wrote off the entire purchase price of $6,387,100. The Company’s impairment analysis remained unchanged as of September 30, 2013. As a result of transactions with Seller and others occurring after September 30, 2013 and further described in Note 20– Subsequent Events, the Company expects its impairment and consolidation analysis will change to allow the Company to account for its acquisition of China Motion as a wholly owned subsidiary in its future consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 19    DISPOSITIONS/DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Sale of Tower Assets of VelaTel Peru

 

On August 16, 2013, VelaTel Peru entered into an asset purchase agreement (“VelaTel Peru APA”) with IB for sale to IB of the 30 cellular towers, along with a mutual warranty agreement (“IB Mutual Warranties”) regarding the future permitting of the cellular towers. Under the VelaTel Peru APA, the purchase price for the towers is assumption by IB of all liabilities associated with the towers, which includes (i) $112,904 in past unpaid rent to site landlords, (ii) future rents totaling $7,975 per month aggregate for all 30 cellular towers, (iii) $7,918 in unpaid electricity charges advanced by site landlords, and (iv) $61,736 owed to the steel fabricator who contracted to erect the towers. Under the IB Mutual Warranties, VelaTel Peru agrees that IB may make application in the name of VelaTel Per for any such permit for which VTP's status as a holder of telecommunications licenses or concessions is required or advantageous, and to assign any permits so obtained in whole or in part in favor of other licensed telephone operators who may wish to lease space on the towers. In return, VelaTel Peru is allowed to maintain its existing equipment on each tower until 90 days after the later of the date a permit is issued for that tower or the date IB determines the applicable municipality will not grant a permit. Closing of the VelaTel Peru APA and IB Mutual Warranties occurred on September 4, 2013.

 

In recognition of the fact the Company received benefit pursuant to the AQT Loan Agreement (transaction described in Note 7 – Notes Payable) that did not flow to VelaTel Peru in exchange for the obligation of VelaTel Peru to transfer title to the 30 cellular towers to IB as an affiliate of AQT, VelaTel Peru received a credit in the amount of $600,000 against the balance of the intercompany debt that VelaTel Peru and GMR owe to the Company. FGPM consented to the VelaTel Peru APA, the IB Mutual Warranties, and the reduction of intercompany debt in connection with the VelaTel Peru SPA described immediately below.

 

Sale of Stock of VelaTel Peru

 

On August 16, 2013, the Company, through Gulfstream Seychelles, entered into a stock purchase agreement (“VelaTel Peru SPA”) with First Global Projects Management, Ltd. (“FGPM”) for the sale of 100% of the capital stock of VelaTel Peru. Under the VelaTel Peru SPA, in exchange for payment to the Company at closing of $1,300,000, the Company will: (i) transfer to FGPM all of the Company’s 95% interest in the capital stock of VelaTel Peru; (ii) transfer all of the Company’s 99.9% interest in the capital stock of VelaTel Peru’s sister company Go Movil Resources, S.A.C. (“GMR”); and (iii) assign to FGPM the balance of all intercompany debt that VelaTel Peru and GMR will owe to the Company as of closing of the VelaTel Peru SPA. Under the VelaTel Peru SPA, FGPM also acquires the 5% equity interest of the minority shareholders of VelaTel Peru in exchange for $68,422. The Company and the other sellers are not making representations or warranties as extensive as would be typical in such a transaction, nor are they agreeing to indemnify FGPM regarding the past operations or financial condition of VelaTel Peru that have already been identified as contingencies during FGPM’s due diligence. The purchase price reflects a discount for the limitations of such representations, warranties and indemnities. The purchase price also reflects a reduction for the separate transfer of assets and liabilities associated with cellular towers designed, constructed and owned by VelaTel Peru transferred to IB and described immediately above. Closing of the VelaTel Peru SPA occurred on September 4, 2013.

 

The sale of Vela Tel Peru resulted in a gain on the disposition of a subsidiary in the amount of $5,817,986. The gain was determined as follows: net proceeds of $1,259,716 and the disposition of Vela Tel Peru net liabilities of $9,608,693 less the intercompany debt of $5,050,423.

Turnkey and Vendor Contracts for Upgrade of China Motion Network

 

Through the date this Report is filed, the Company and its subsidiary China Motion have been negotiating contracts for the upgrade of China Motion’s telephony core network from 2G to 4G technology, and associated customer billing and accounting functions. The first contract to be completed was a Turnkey Upgrade Agreement that contemplates finalization of three contracts with separate vendors for discrete components of the overall upgrade. Each contract is described separately below.

 

Turnkey Upgrade Agreement with New Host

 

On November 11, 2013, the Company and China Motion entered into a Turnkey Upgrade Agreement with New Host International Co., Ltd. (“New Host”) for project management and financing of the upgrade of China Motion’s telephony core network and associated customer billing and accounting functions. The material terms of the Turnkey Upgrade Agreement are:

 

(i) New Host will subcontract with three vendors China Motion has previously negotiated pricing and scope of services, ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”), Niceuc Communication Co., Ltd. (“Niceuc”)and Tectura Hong Kong Limited (“Tectura” and together with ZTE and Niceuc collectively “Subcontractors”). New Host will provide project management services to coordinate the work of the Subcontractors and pay each according to the tenor of their respective contracts.

Sale of Stock of Zapna

 

On September 30, 2013, Gulfstream Seychelles and Aerial Investments, LLC (“Aerial”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Aerial SPA”) for Aerial to acquire the 75 shares of capital stock of Zapna (“Zapna Stock”) owned by Gulfstream Seychelles, representing 75% of the total equity ownership of Zapna. The material terms of the Zapna SPA are:

 

(i) The transaction is subject to a right of first refusal and tag along rights in favor Ahmad Holdings and/or Omair Khan (collectively “Minority Owner”), the owner of the remaining 25 shares of capital stock of Zapna, such rights granted pursuant to the 2012 stock purchase agreement (“2012 SPA”) by which Minority Owner sold 75 shares of Zapna Stock to Gulfstream Seychelles. Aerial agrees to honor Minority Owner’s tag along rights by also acquiring Minority Owner’s 25 shares of Zapna Stock for US$25 if Minority Owner delivers a timely notice of election.

 

(ii) The purchase price is US$75. As additional consideration, Gulfstream Seychelles agrees to assign to Aerial at closing without warranty, all rights, if any, Gulfstream Seychelles may have (1) against Minority Owner related to the Company, whether arising from breach of any representation or warranty Minority Owner made in connection with the 2012 SPA, from Minority Owner’s Management of the Company since closing of the 2012 SPA, and/or from conduct or circumstances described in Section 2.5 of the Aerial SPA, and/or (2) for financial benefits (or detriments) applicable to Gulfstream Seychelles’ ownership of the Zapna Stock for the period commencing July 1, 2013 and through Closing of this Agreement (“Assignment”). Aerial agrees to waive the Assignment if Minority Owner exercises either its right of first refusal or its tag along rights.

 

(iii) Gulfstream Seychelles warrants only its corporate qualifications, the capital structure of Zapna, and its ownership of the Zapna Shares. Gulfstream Seychelles expressly disclaims any representations or warranties regarding the past or future financial, legal or other status of Zapna. Aerial acknowledges that the transaction is made “as is, where is,” and that the purchase price reflects the disclaimers. Aerial acknowledges that Minority Owner has refused to cooperate with Gulfstream Seychelles to provide financial information regarding the Company for the period of time commencing July 1, 2013, and that the inability of the parent company of Gulfstream Seychelles to accurately report the financial results of Zapna on its consolidated financial statements for the period of time commencing July 1, 2013 is the basis of granting the Assignment.

 

On October 9, 2013, the Company delivered a copy of the signed Aerial SPA to Minority Owner, together with notice of its rights for a period of 30 days to exercise either its right of first refusal or its tag along rights. Minority Owner did not formally respond to the notice.

 

On November 19, 2013, after expiration of Minority Owner’s rights, closing of the Aerial SPA occurred when Aerial paid the Company, on behalf of Gulfstream Seychelles, the purchase price of US$75, and caused the delivery of instruments of ownership of the 75 shares of Zapna Stock to be delivered to Aerial and in Aerial’s name.

 

A complete copy of the Aerial SPA is attached as Exhibit 10.60 to this Report.

Corporate History

 

VelaTel Global Communications, Inc. (sometimes referred to in this Report as “Company”, “us”, “our” and “we”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 19, 2005 under its former name, Mortlock Ventures, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company changed its business purpose and commenced concentrating on the telecommunications industry.  The Company changed its name to China Tel Group, Inc. on April 8, 2008 and acquired Trussnet Nevada (defined below) on May 21, 2008.

 

On May 21, 2008, we entered into a Reorganization and Merger Agreement pursuant to which our wholly owned subsidiary, Chinacomm Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Subsidiary”), merged with and into Trussnet USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Trussnet Nevada”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization and Merger Agreement, the Acquisition Subsidiary and Trussnet Nevada conducted a short-form merger under Nevada law, as a result of which Trussnet Nevada, as the surviving corporation, became our wholly owned subsidiary.  In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Trussnet Nevada, we issued 66,909,089 shares of the Company’s Series B Common Stock.  In addition, pursuant to the Reorganization and Merger Agreement, certificates representing 57,500,000 Shares held by our shareholders prior to the merger were returned to us and cancelled.

 

On July 25, 2011, we changed our name to VelaTel Global Communications, Inc.  We did so to better define our positioning as a key leader in deploying and operating wireless broadband access networks worldwide.

 

33
 

During the first quarter of 2012, we commenced our planned operations as we deployed our wireless broadband telecommunications network in Peru (VelaTel Peru”). Prior to that, from our inception we were a “Development Stage Company” as defined by the ASC subtopic 915 Development Stage Entities. We accumulated a deficit during our development stage of $253,660,984.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included within this Report.

 

Our Businesses

 

The Company currently holds investments or contracts in six active projects that we refer to as:

 

(i) VN Tech Fuel Cell Business;

 

(ii) Business Agreement with NGSN;

 

(iii) Aerostrong Exclusive Agreements;

 

(iv) Novi-Net Network;

 

(v) Montenegro Connect Network; and

 

(vi) China Motion MVNO Network.

 

During the nine-month period covered by the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company also held investments or contracts in two additional projects that were disposed of prior to the date this Report is filed:

 

(vii) VelaTel Peru Network (disposition completed September 4, 2013);

 

(viii) Zapna Wireless Broadband Solutions Business (disposition completed November 12, 2013).

 

The Company’s primary business model is to combine its engineering and deployment expertise, its equity funding relationships, its vendor partnership, radio frequency spectrum, fiber optic cable and concession rights assets acquired through a subsidiary or a joint venture relationship to create and operate wireless broadband networks worldwide.  We offer, or will offer, internet access, voice, video, and data services to the subscribers of the various wireless broadband networks we operate.  The Company’s secondary business model is to distribute products and services used in connection with wireless broadband networks. Thus far, we are in the business of offering: (i) hydrogen fuel cells used as a back-up power source for certain transmission of power to wireless broadband equipment and devices; and (ii) services that enable lower cost voice long distance and voice and data roaming fees to subscribers of cellular, voice over internet protocol or wireless broadband networks.   We have included in this Report references to projects or milestone events that may no longer be active to the extent such events are material to overall financial condition and/or our ongoing operations of the Company.

 

The Company’s present operational focus is on the deployment of wireless broadband networks in emerging international markets, using primarily either 2.5 GHz or 3.5 GHz radio frequency spectrum, and in the case of China Motion, the expansion of its legacy MVNO telephony operations.

Our revenue, cost of revenue, expenses and other income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

 

Revenue:

2013   2012

Our revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $248,394 from the same period ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in revenue for 2013 is due to higher revenue from our subsidiary, Herlong.

 

Cost of Revenue:

 

2013   2012 
$61,245   $36,543 

 

Our cost of revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was $61,245, or 13.2% of sales as compared to $36,543 or 17.0% of sales for the same period ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in cost of revenue in actual dollars is attributed to the increase in sales and the decease as a percentage of revenue in 2013 is a result of higher margins on the sales generated by our subsidiary, Herlong.

2013   2012 
$2,842,284   $2,551,572

Impairment Loss:

 

2013   2012 
$   $1,010,000 

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 we wrote off our investment in GBNC Network. GBNC indicated it would not honor the terms of the GBNC Agreement. Specifically, GBNC maintained that GBNC should have control over bank accounts and decisions regarding capital expenditures. Based on the duration of the impasse between us and GBNC regarding these matters, we determined it was appropriate to fully impair our $1,010,000 investment in GBNC.

Our revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $592,294 from the same period ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in revenue for 2013 is attributed to higher revenue from our subsidiary, Herlong, and a full nine months of reporting Herlong’s results as compared to five and one half months during 2012 based on completing our acquisition of Herlong on April 12, 2012.

 

Cost of Revenue:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we wrote off our investment in China Motion for $6,387,100, which represents the entire purchase price for the acquisition when we determined we did not have effective control China Motion. The management of China Motion continued to follow instructions of the Seller that blocked significant decisions we made in the ordinary course of China Motion’s business, including efforts to change signature authority on the bank accounts in a manner that would allow us to approve or issue payments from those accounts without also obtaining the authority or counter-signature from a representative of the selling shareholders from whom we acquired China Motion.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 we wrote off our investment in the GBNC Network.

Net Loss:

 

2013   2012 
$15,273,243   $9,469,601 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities consist of net cash proceeds from the issuance of convertible and other notes, Share subscriptions and advances from shareholders.  Our Convertible Note Purchase Agreements dated February 17, 2008 (“Convertible Note”) matured on December 31, 2008, unless they were extended by signing an Amended Convertible Note.  In that case, the due date is 90 days from the date we receive a notice of redemption from the convertible note holder. Both the Convertible Notes and the Amended Convertible Notes have an interest rate of 10% per annum.

 

37
 

Our liquidity needs consist of our working capital requirements, indebtedness payments, research and development expenditure funding, and general and administrative expenses.  Our known liquidity demands include the following categories and amounts as of September 30, 2013:

 

(i) Litigation installment payments of $821,735;

 

(ii) Notes payable to related parties of $870,138;

 

(iii) Notes payable of $15,274,800;

 

(iv) Convertible Notes and Amended Convertible Notes of $573,868;

 

(v) Advances from officers of $64,076 and

 

(vi) Accounts payable and accrued expenses of $15,215,541and sales, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.2 million per month for our San Diego, Taiwan, Cyprus, Croatia and Montenegro operations.

 

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

 

From our date of inception through September 30, 2013, we have incurred accumulated losses of approximately $322.6 million.  As of September 30, 2013, we had cash of $1.1 million and liabilities of approximately $51.6 million, of which $48.2 million are deemed to be current liabilities.  We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Our independent accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report, dated May 17, 2013, for the period ended December 31, 2012.  In order to continue to operate our businesses, we will need to raise substantial amounts of additional capital.

 

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

 

Effective September 19, 2013, we increased (post-reverse) the number of authorized Series A Shares from 1 billion to 10 billion by filing a Certificate of Amendment of our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State.  As of September 30, 2013, we had issued and outstanding 657,160,092 Series A Shares. As of the date of this Report, the total number of Series A Shares issued and outstanding is 1,113,412,415.

 

As of September 30, 2013, we had authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000,000 Series B Shares, of which 80,000,000 shares were issued and outstanding. As of the date of this Report, 130,000,000 Series B Shares are issued and outstanding.  Each Series B Share has the right to cast ten votes for each action on which each Series A Share has a right to vote.  The consent of 80% of the issued and outstanding Series B Shares is required in order to sell, assign or transfer any of the Series B Shares.  Series B Shares do not participate in any declared dividends. Series B Shares are redeemable on May 23, 2023 at the par value of $0.001 per share. Due to the limitations on transfer of Series B Shares, we do not consider the issuance of Series B Shares to be a viable source for funding our operations.

 

In addition, we have authorized the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with rights and preferences to be determined by our Board of Directors. We have designated 2,500 shares of our Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred Stock, of which 270 such shares had been issued to Ironridge Technology as of September 30, 2012. As of the date of this Report, a total of 285 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

 

As of September 30, 2013, we have raised approximately $28.5 million related to our Convertible Notes and our Amended Convertible Notes.  These notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are all either past due or have been converted.  As of September 30, 2013, the outstanding balance of principal and interest on unpaid Convertible Notes and Amended Convertible Notes was approximately $0.3 million.  The proceeds from our Convertible Notes and Amended Convertible Notes helped fund our operations during 2008 and 2009.  However, interest accruing and settlement of litigation associated with our Convertible Notes contributed to our liquidity needs for the period ended September 30, 2013 and is expected to continue to do so in the future.  

 

38
 

Also as of September 30, 2013 we have raised approximately $0.9 million for the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock and approximately $0.7 million from the issuance of convertible notes payable.

 

As of September 30, 2013, we owed approximately $0.9 million as a result of borrowings from related parties.  We have sometimes relied on borrowings from related parties as a means of financing our operations, but only when other capital resources were not readily available.  We have no present plans to rely on further borrowings from related parties as a means of financing our operations.

 

During 2010 and 2012, we negotiated equipment vendor financing that, if continued in the future, we expect will reduce our short term need for capital from the sources described above as a percentage of our total capital needs.  However, no assurances can be given that we will continue to obtain equipment financing on the same terms as secured during 2010 and 2012.  Repayment of such equipment financing will increase our liquidity demands in the future.

 

The following table presents a summary of our sources and uses of cash for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

 

39
 

These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue from product sales and services in accordance with ASC subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition requiring four basic criteria to be met before revenue can be recognized:

 

(i) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

(ii) Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

 

(iii) The selling price is fixed and determinable; and

 

(iv) Collectability is reasonably assured.  Determination of criteria (iii) and (iv) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.

 

Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-10 incorporates ASC subtopic 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arraignments.” ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing ASC 605-25 on our financial position and results of operations was not significant.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of our unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Values

 

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

 

Accounting For Bad Debt and Allowances

 

Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on a due date basis.

 

Inventories

 

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

 

40
 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

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

 

We amortize our identifiable intangible assets over their estimated period of benefit. The estimated useful life of developed software is ten years.  We periodically evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or indicate that impairment exists.

 

We account for and report acquired goodwill and other intangible assets under ASC subtopic 305-10, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other. In accordance with ASC 305-10, test our intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired.  Any write-downs are included in our results from operations.

 

Functional Currency

 

Transactions of VelaTel Peru are in US Dollars; accordingly, this subsidiary’s functional currency is the US Dollar. The accounts of Zapna are maintained in Danish Kroner, the accounts of Novi-Net are maintained in Croatian Kuna, the accounts of Herlong and Montenegro Connect are maintained in the Euro, and the accounts of China Motion are maintained in Hong Kong Dollars. The accounts of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into US Dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” In accordance with ASC Topic 830: (i) all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet dates; (ii) stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates; and (iii) statement of operation items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statements of income.

 

41
 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

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

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs, which are included in selling, administrative and general, are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were not significant.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

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

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

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

 

Research and Development

 

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

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Going Concern Disclosure

 

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, and contemplates our continuance as a going concern. Our independent registered accounting firm, in its report dated May 17, 2013, has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our viability is dependent upon our ability to obtain future financing and the success of our future operations. We have incurred a net loss of $15.3 million for the period ended September 30, 2013, a cumulative net loss of $322.6 million since inception, a negative working capital of $46.8 million and a stockholders' deficiency of $49.1 million.

 

42
 

In addition, we require substantial additional capital to finance our planned business operations and expect to incur operating losses in future periods due to the expense of deploying and/or the continued deployment of our projects.

 

We have not realized material revenue since inception, and we are not without doubt that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future.  If we are not able to raise substantial additional capital in a timely manner, we may lose our rights to participate in the operation of the networks and businesses identified above and may be forced to cease operations. Our continued existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve our liquidity problems. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

To attain profitable operations, management continues focus its efforts on the deployment and operation of our wireless broadband networks.  As stated in the beginning of this Item 2, we have nine projects, six of which are deploying wireless broadband networks and three of which offer services or products related to the wireless broadband networks we are deploying. The nine projects span Hong Kong, China, Croatia, Montenegro, Peru and Denmark. We will continue to be dependent on outside capital to fund our projects and selling, general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future. Any financing obtained may further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of the current stockholders. If we fail to generate positive cash flows or fail to obtain additional capital when required, we could modify, delay or abandon some or all of our projects.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 220 Comprehensive Income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, or its financial condition.

 

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405), “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, A Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (A Consensus the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. This ASU applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforward in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. This amendment is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Item 5.  Other Information.

 

(a) All information required to be disclosed on Form 8-K during the period ended September 30, 2013 has been so reported.

 

(b) The Company does not have procedures in place by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

(c) Effective May 16, 2013, the Company reduced the size of its Board of Directors from four Directors to two Directors. The Company also eliminated the positions of Chief Operating Officer (the duties of which were transferred to our Chief Executive Officer) and Chief Administrative Officer (the duties of which continue to be performed by a Manager of Administration). The Company’s intent is to consolidate decision making authority in the Board of Directors and in those executive officers who are also directors (the Chief Executive Officer and the President). Other officers who have previously been considered executive officers have had their management responsibilities and decision making authority curtailed. These include: (i) Carlos Trujillo, who holds the title Chief Financial Officer; (ii) Kenneth L. Waggoner, who until his resignation effective November 13, 2013 held the titles of Secretary, Executive Vice-President, Legal and General Counsel; (iii) Kenneth Hobbs, who holds the titles of Secretary, Vice-President, Mergers & Acquisitions and General Counsel; and (iv) Isidoro Gutierrez, who formerly held the title of Chief Administrative Officer and now holds the title of Manager of Administration.

 

(d) Effective November 13, 2013, Kenneth L. Waggoner resigned as Secretary, General Counsel, and Executive Vice-President, Legal. Mr. Waggoner’s resignation was not the result of any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations or policies and practices. Kenneth Hobbs will assume the duties and responsibilities of the Company’s General Counsel and Secretary, in addition to his prior duties as Vice-President, Mergers & Acquisitions. The Company considers it unnecessary for its General Counsel to also hold the office of Vice-President, Legal, and has eliminated that position.

As at the date hereof, CMTHK has an authorised share capital of HK$390,000,000.00 divided into 390,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each (each a “CMTHK Share”), of which 378,467,031 CMTHK Shares have been issued and are fully paid up or credited as fully paid. CMTHK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer as from 1 March 2013.

(C)Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Listco, the issued shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.

 

(D)Buyer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of VelaTel.

 

(E)On 27 November 2012, Listco, Holdings and CMInfo on the one part, and Buyer on the other part, entered into the SPA for the purchase of 100% of the stock of CMTHK (the “Sale Shares”). On the same day, the Corporate Guaranty was executed by VelaTel in favour of Holdings and CMInfo (collectively, the “Sellers”) guaranteeing each and every obligation of the Buyer under the SPA. The SPA and the Corporate Guaranty were subsequently varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment.

(F)The First Amendment dated 4 February 2013 was entered into among, inter alios, (a) Listco; (b) the Sellers; (c) the Buyer; and (d) VelaTel to the effect that the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the SPA) was extended to 28 February 2013 at the request of Buyer and VelaTel for additional time for them to raise sufficient fund to close the transaction of the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares. In consideration of the aforesaid extension, it was agreed by the parties to the First Amendment that the purchase price for the Sale Shares was increased from HK$45,000,000 to HK$45,405,000 and a further deposit of the sum of HK$1,170,000 in escrow was payable by the Buyer to the Sellers.

 

(G)The Buyer and VelaTel failed to timely make payment to close the transaction under the First Amendment. Upon the request of the Buyer and VelaTel, the parties entered into a Second Amendment.

 

(H)The Second Amendment dated 3 March 2013 which took effect on 1 March 2013 was entered into among, inter alios, (a) Listco; (b) the Sellers; (c) the Buyer; and (d) VelaTel. It was agreed by the parties to the Second Amendment that the total purchase price for the Sale Shares was further increased to HK$49,500,000 which comprised of (a) HK$4,646,862.55 held in escrow by the agreed escrow agent; (b) HK$7,362,500 paid as further down payment at closing of the SPA (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment); and (c) HK$37,490,637.45 being a part of a promissory note in the amount of HK$38,990,637.45 issued by VelaTel.

 

(I)Pursuant to the Second Amendment, a promissory note dated 1 March 2013 (the “Promissory Note”) for a total sum of HK$38,990,637.45 was issued by VelaTel in favour of the Sellers by which VelaTel promised to pay to the order of the Sellers the principal sum of HK$37,490,637.45 being partial consideration of the Sale Shares, plus interest accrued thereon in an aggregate sum of HK$1,500,000, of which HK$4,650,000 to be paid on or before 31 May 2013 and the balance of HK$34,340,637.45 on or before 31 August 2013 on the terms contained in the Promissory Note.

 

(J)In further pursuance of the Second Amendment, a Stock Pledge Deed and Stock Escrow Agreement dated 3 March 2013 (which took effect as from 1 March 2013) (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”) was executed between the Sellers and the Buyer whereby, among other things, the Buyer has pledged an aggregate of 378,467,031 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each in the issued capital of CMTHK to the Sellers as security for the due and punctual payment of the Promissory Note and all obligations of the Buyer under the Stock Pledge Agreement. The Stock Pledge Agreement was agreed by the parties to take effect as from 1 March 2013.

 

(K)Upon the non-payment of the HK$4,650,000 on or before 31 May 2013, the Sellers issued a default notice to the Buyer and VelaTel on 1 June 2013, and the Sellers eventually received the said sum of HK$4,650,000 before 28 June 2013.

 

     

2
 

 

(L)Both the Buyer and VelaTel have failed to pay to the Sellers the balance of HK$34,340,637.45 (the “Outstanding Amount”) or any part thereof on or before 31 August 2013 or at all, which the Sellers assert is in breach of the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment), the Corporate Guaranty and the Stock Pledge Agreement or in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note (the “Default”).

 

(M)On 5 September 2013, Statutory Demands in respect of the Outstanding Amount due by VelaTel to the Sellers (the “Statutory Demands”) were duly served on VelaTel and its President, Mr. Colin Tay.

 

(N)On the same day, the Sellers delivered to the Buyer and VelaTel the Default Notice (as defined in the Stock Pledge Agreement) in respect of the Default.

 

(O)Up to the date of this Deed, both the Buyer and VelaTel still fail to pay to the Sellers the Outstanding Amount or any part thereof or at all.

 

(P)On 20 July 2013, VelaTel and the Buyer as claimants instituted arbitration proceedings in the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) intituled HKIAC/PA 13105 (the “Arbitration Proceedings”) against Listco and the Sellers in relation to alleged breaches by Listco and the Sellers of the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment) and claimed in its Notice of Arbitration for, inter alia, specific performance of the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment) and loss and damages allegedly suffered by VelaTel and the Buyer.

 

(Q)On 26 August 2013, Listco and the Sellers have submitted their Response to the Notice of Arbitration denying any alleged breaches on their part of the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment) and any relief claimed by VelaTel and/or the Buyer.

 

(R)In consideration of the mutual undertakings, covenants and agreements hereinafter set out and without prejudice to the rights and remedies available to the Sellers under the SPA (as varied and amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment to the SPA), the Corporate Guaranty, the Stock Pledge Agreement and the Promissory Note, Listco, the Sellers, the Buyer and VelaTel have entered into this Deed to resolve the aforesaid matters and disputes subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein contained.

12.MISCELLANEOUS

11
 

 

  (1) any time or indulgence granted to VelaTel, the Chargor or any other person;

  (6) the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of or any defect in any provision of this Charge;
     
  (7) the lapse or expiry of applicable limitation period;
     
  (8) the absorption, amalgamation, reconstruction or reorganisation or other change in the constitution of the Company or any other person;

To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of the amount of such obligation or liability expressed in that currency, the Chargee shall have a further separate cause of action against VelaTel and the Chargor for the recovery of the amount of the shortfall.

12

12.6Save as may be expressly provided herein to the contrary, time is of the essence of this Charge. No failure or delay on the part of the Chargee to exercise any power, right or remedy under this Charge shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall a waiver by the Chargee of any particular default by the Chargor affect or prejudice the power, right or remedy of the Chargee in respect of any other default or any subsequent default of the same or a different kind nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Chargee of any power, right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

12.7If at any time any provision of this Charge is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Charge nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

EXHIBIT 10.60

 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of the 30th day of September, 2013 (“Effective Date”) by and between (1) Gulfstream Capital Partners Limited (“Gulfstream”), a corporation organized under the laws of Seychelles and a wholly owned subsidiary of VelaTel Global Communications, Inc. (“VelaTel” or together with Gulfstream “Seller”) and (2) Aerial Investments, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the United States (Delaware) (“Purchaser”) for the purchase and sale of 75 out of 100 shares outstanding of the capital stock (“Zapna Stock”) of Zapna, ApS, a corporation organized under the laws of Denmark (“Company”). Seller and Purchaser are each sometimes referred to individually in this Agreement as a “Party” and together as “Parties.”

RECITALS

A.     VelaTel is the owner of 75 shares of Zapna Stock. Ahmad Holdings and/or Omair Khan (collectively and as their interests appear “Minority Owner”) is the owner of the remaining 25 shares of Zapna Stock.

B.     The Company offers solutions for telephony operators and subscribers (and adaptable to wireless broadband operators and subscribers) including mobile application IP rights, prepaid and postpaid billing platforms, front end portals, administration modules, roaming, SMS and voice termination services, and products to deliver such services.

C.     Seller desires to sell its interest in the Zapna Stock. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement between Seller and Minority Owner (“2012 SPA”), Minority Owner has (1) a right of first refusal to acquire Seller’s Zapna Stock on the same terms as offered by Purchaser, and (2) a tag along option to sell its Zapna Stock to Purchaser on the same terms as Seller.

D.     Purchaser is willing to acquire either the 75 shares of Zapna Stock owned by Seller or all 100 shares of Zapna Stock owned by both Seller and Minority Owner. Purchaser enters into this Agreement subject to the rights of Minority Owner.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the Parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

1.3     Assignment of Additional Rights. As additional consideration and part of the Purchase Price, Seller assigns to Purchaser at Closing, without warranty, all rights, if any, Seller may have (1) against Minority Owner related to the Company, whether arising from breach of any representation or warranty Minority Owner made in connection with the 2012 SPA, from Minority Owner’s Management of the Company since closing of the 2012 SPA, and/or from conduct or circumstances described in Section 2.5, and/or (2) for financial benefits (or detriments) applicable to Seller’s ownership of the Zapna Stock for the period commencing July 1, 2013 and through Closing of this Agreement.

1.4     Closing; Delivery. The closing of this Agreement (“Closing”) shall take place on the earlier to occur of (1) expiration of Minority Owner’s right of first refusal and tag along rights, which shall occur 30 days following delivery by Seller to Minority Owner of a notice containing the terms of this Agreement, or (2) immediately following receipt by Seller from Minority Owner that Minority Owner (a) declines to exercise either its right of first refusal, or (b) exercises or declines to exercise its tag along rights. Immediately following the Closing, Seller shall cause the transfer and delivery of the Purchased Shares in the name of Purchaser.

1.5     Minority Owner’s Right of First Refusal. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to honor Minority Owner’s right of first refusal. If Minority Owner delivers notice of its election to exercise its right of first refusal, (1) Seller shall pay the Purchase Price to Minority Owner, Seller shall cause the transfer and deliver the Purchased Shares in the name of Minority Owner or as Minority Owner directs, and (3) Seller shall waive any rights it otherwise assigns to Purchaser under Section 1.3 of this Agreement, and Seller shall instead release Minority Owner from any and all claims related to the Company.

1.6     Minority Owner’s Tag-Along Right. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to honor Minority Owner’s tag along rights in lieu of Minority Owner’s right of first refusal. If Minority Owner delivers notice of its election to exercise its tag along rights, including Purchaser’s agreement to all of the terms of this Agreement, (1) Purchaser shall pay Minority Owner at Closing US$25, (2) Minority Owner shall cause the transfer and delivery of all 25 shares of its Zapna Stock in the name of Purchaser, and (3) Purchaser shall waive its assigned rights described under Section 1.3, and Purchaser shall instead release Minority Owner from any and all claims related to the Company.

2.     Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser that the following representations are true and complete as of the date of the Agreement.

2.1     Organization and Qualification of Seller. Seller is a corporation, and has all requisite power and authority to carry on his business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted. Seller has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

2.2     Authorization. Subject to the exercise or expiration of Minority Owner’s rights, all actions required to be taken by Seller in order to enter into the Agreement, and all actions necessary for the execution and delivery of the Agreement, and to sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser the Purchased Shares, have been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. The Agreement, when executed and delivered by Seller, shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

2
 

2.3     Capitalization of the Company and any Subsidiary.

(a)     The authorized Capital Stock of the Company consists of 100 common shares, all of one class, of which 100 are outstanding.

(b)     To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Company has no Subsidiaries.

2.4     Ownership of Purchased Shares. Seller is the lawful record beneficial owner of the Purchased Shares. Seller owns the Purchased Shares free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Upon delivery of the Purchased Shares to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser will acquire the beneficial and legal, valid and indefeasible title to such Purchased shares, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer under state and federal securities laws and liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by the Purchaser.

2.5     Disclaimer of Other Representations Concerning the Company. Seller has provided Purchaser, without warranty, with all financial information in Seller’s possession regarding the Company between closing of the 2012 SPA and June 30, 2013. Purchaser acknowledges that Minority Owner has refused to cooperate with Seller to provide any financial information regarding the Company for any period of time commencing July 1, 2013. Seller’s inability to accurately report the financial results of the Company on its consolidated financial statements for the period of time commencing July 1, 2013 is the basis of Seller’s assignment to Purchaser of the financial benefits (or detriments) described in Section 1.3. Seller has no direct evidence but has a reasonable suspicion that Minority Owner may have transferred contractual rights and/or revenue belonging to the Company to other companies affiliated with Minority Owner, including a purported subsidiary of the Company organized in Pakistan. Except as provided in Sections 2.3 and 2.4, Seller expressly disclaims any representations or warranties regarding the past or future financial, legal or other status of the Company. Purchaser acknowledges that this transaction is made “as is, where is,” and that the Purchase Price reflects the disclaimers contained in this Section.

3.     Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that:

3.1     Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into the Agreement. The Agreement, when executed and delivered by Purchaser, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

3.2     Disclosure of Information; Investment Experience. Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs with Seller, but not with the Company’s management. Purchaser represents that Purchaser is experienced in evaluating and investing in transactions involving companies in a similar stage of development and acknowledges that Purchaser is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of Purchaser’s investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters.
