See accompanying notes. F-5 CRESCENT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS __________ 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION ----------------------- The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Crescent Communications, Inc. (the "Company") included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial information included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or any other interim period. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from estimates making it reasonably possible that a change in the estimates could occur in the near term. 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS ------------------------------ During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and has been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company experienced negative financial results as follows:
2003 2002 ------------ ------------ Net loss $(2,543,629) $(2,946,382) Negative cash flow from operations (1,423,363) (1,774,837) Negative working capital (1,743,942) (1,276,547) Stockholders' deficit (1,140,379) (442,332)
These negative factors have continued during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has supported current operations by: 1) selling off its traditional connectivity services business, 2) raising additional operating cash through private placements of its common stock, 3) issuing debt convertible to common stock to certain key stockholders and 4) issuing stock and options as compensation to certain employees and vendors in lieu of cash payments. These steps have provided the Company with the cash flows to continue its business plan, but have not resulted in significant improvement in the Company's financial position. Management is considering alternatives to address its critical cash flow situation that include: F-6 CRESCENT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS __________ 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS, CONTINUED ------------------------------------------ - Raising capital through additional sale of its common and preferred stock and/or debt securities. - Merging the Company with another business that compliments current activities. - Reducing cash operating expenses to levels that are in line with current revenues. Reductions can be achieved through the issuance of additional common shares of the Company's stock in lieu of cash payments to employees or vendors. These alternatives could result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders. There can be no assurances that the Company's current financial position can be improved, that it can raise additional working capital or that it can achieve positive cash flows from operations. The Company's long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon the following: - The Company's ability to locate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and near term future requirements. - The ability of the Company to achieve profitability and ultimately generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain its continuing operations. 3. SALE OF CONNECTIVITY BUSINESS -------------------------------- Effective June 17, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with DFW Internet Services, Inc. ("DFW"), a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MobilePro Corporation for the sale of certain assets related to connectivity services including wireless, digital subscriber line and traditional communication technologies to business and residential customers. Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company has received a total of $1,150,000 of which $900,000 was cash and $250,000 was a one-year promissory note. Additionally, DFW acquired 85% of accounts receivable associated with services provided to the Company's customers through June 17, 2004. Further, DFW entered into a one-year sublease for the Company's leased space at 701 N. Post Oak Road, Suite 630, Houston, Texas, for a rental rate of $3,000 per month. The terms and conditions of the transactions were the result of arms-length negotiations by the parties. As a result of the Agreement our operations are now solely based on Bluegate (TM) , our branded HIPAA compliant broadband digital connectivity offering for health care providers nationally. Following is analysis of assets sold under the agreement:
Assets sold: Property and equipment $ 306,027 Goodwill associated with connectivity business 200,346 ---------- 506,373 ---------- Consideration received Cash 900,000 Note receivable 250,000 ---------- 1,150,000 ---------- Gain recognized $ 643,627 ----------

SALE OF CONNECTIVITY BUSINESS, CONTINUED -------------------------------------------- In addition to the above assets, the Company sold 85% of the accounts receivable associated with it's traditional connectivity business. Following is an analysis of discontinued operations:

4. INCOME TAX ----------- The difference between the Federal statutory income tax rate of 34% and the Company's effective rate is primarily attributable to increases in the valuation allowance offset against deferred tax assets associated with the Company's net operating losses. 5. NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES ------------------------------------ Certain notes payable to related parties totaling $300,185 are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $.05 per share, at the election of the payee, any time prior to repayment of the note. At June 30, 2004 the notes are convertible into 6,003,700 common shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 certain members of the executive management team advanced $80,000 under short term borrowing agreements of which $39, 000 have been repaid. The amounts are due on demand and call for interest at 10% of the face value of the loan. 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY --------------------- During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company engaged in various transactions affecting stockholders' equity, as follows: - The Company sold common stock under Regulation S to various foreign investors under investment agreements entered into during 2003. The investment agreements generally provide for the sale of restricted common stock at 35% of the current trading price in the United States. During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, 7,845,656 shares were issued for $355,012. F-8 CRESCENT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS __________ 3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED --------------------------------- - The Company issued common stock for legal and consulting services totaling $12,000. - The Company issued options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock to employees and consultants. The options are exercisable after a vesting period at $.20 per share. F-9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This Management's Discussion and Analysis as of June 30, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto set forth in Item 1 of this report and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or any other interim period. The information in this discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, words such as, "may," "will," "should," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," continue," "strategy," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to the risks discussed in our other SEC filings. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and these differences may be material. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. REVENUE RECOGNITION ------------------- Revenue from Bluegate (TM) , HIPAA compliant broadband digital connectivity is recognized based upon contractually determined monthly service charges to individual customers. Services are billed in advance and, accordingly, revenues are deferred until the period in which the services are provided. At June 30, 2004, deferred service revenue was $123,088. I-1 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ------------------------- Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defined a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encouraged all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans and include the cost in the income statement as compensation expense. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. GENERAL Crescent Communications is a Nevada corporation that began operations on July 23, 2001, providing co-location hosting and connectivity systems to small to mid-size businesses in Texas. The Company, headquartered in Houston, Texas is a Value Added Network provider that develops and deploys specific technological internet related solutions for businesses. The Company was formed through a Stock Exchange Agreement ("Agreement") whereby the shareholders of Solis Communications, Inc ("Solis") exchanged all the issued and outstanding shares of Solis for 600 shares of newly issued Series A Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of Berens Industries, Inc. ("Berens"). Solis, the ultimate acquirer of Berens in this reverse merger, agreed to contribute $600,000 cash and cash equivalents. Berens was a development stage enterprise involved in the development of an online auction site for exclusive paintings and other art works. At the date of the Agreement, Berens had ceased all activity due to their inability to generate sufficient revenue or obtain additional capital funding. This transaction is exempt from section 4.2 of the Securities Act. On September 17, 2001 Berens filed a name change to Crescent Communications, Inc. d.b.a. Crescent Broadband and approved a 5-for-1 reverse stock split to be effective on September 24, 2001. On a fully convertible post-split basis, the former shareholders of Solis beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 28,000,000 shares of common stockAs a result, the former shareholders control approximately 52% of the common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock does not receive dividends. Effective June 17, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with DFW Internet Services, Inc. ("DFW"), a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MobilePro Corporation for the sale of certain assets related to connectivity services including wireless, digital subscriber line and traditional communication technologies to business and residential customers. Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company will receive a total of $1,150,000 of which $900,000 was cash and $250,000 was a one-year promissory note. Additionally, DFW acquired 85% of accounts receivable associated with services provided to the Company's customers through June 17, 2004. Further, DFW entered into a one-year sublease for the Company's leased space at 701 N. Post Oak Road, Suite 630, Houston, Texas, for rental rate of $3,000 per month. The terms and conditions of the transactions were the result of arms-length negotiations by the parties. We received a fairness opinion from an independent third party that the asset sale was fair and equitable to us. As a result of the Agreement our operations are now solely based on Bluegate (TM) , our branded HIPAA compliant broadband digital connectivity offering for health care providers nationally. The Company has incurred a significant loss from operations since inception, and is in a negative working capital and stockholders' deficit position at June 30, 2004. The Company remains dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of its operations. Based on these factors, our auditors issued a qualified opinion at December 31, 2003 that reflects the significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. I-2 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company's revenue from Bluegate (TM) , HIPAA compliant broadband digital connectivity connectivity was $161,709 versus $82,751 for the three month period ended June 30, 2003. This increase of $78,958 is a 95% improvement and is primarily attributable to our efforts to market Bluegate (TM) as it has become the center of our business. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were $111,035 versus $101,875 for the comparable 2003 period. The increase is due to higher interconnect fees and costs associated with Bluegate (TM). The gross margin for the three month period just ended improved substantially over the three month period ended June 30, 2003. The improvement in gross margin is attributable to the fact that our margins improve as revenues increase due to fixed costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $250,956 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, represents a decrease of $271,873 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is attributable to lower costs arising from stock based compensation. No significant capital expenditures were made during the period. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company's revenue from Bluegate (TM) , HIPAA compliant broadband digital connectivity connectivity was $372,177 versus $151,774 for the six month period ended June 30, 2003. This increase of $220,403 is primarily attributable to our efforts to market Bluegate (TM) as it has become the center of our business. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $224,631 versus $204,813 for the comparable 2003 period. The increase is due to higher interconnect fees and costs associated with Bluegate (TM). The gross margin for the six month period just ended improved substantially over the six month period ended June 30, 2003. The improvement is attributable to the fact that our margins improve as revenues increase due to fixed costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $596,235 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, represents a decrease of $930,401 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is attributable to lower costs arising from stock based compensation. Interest expense is higher in 2004 by due almost entirely to a higher debt level in most of 2004. Certain of the debt was repaid upon sale of our traditional connectivity services business. No significant capital expenditures were made during the period. I-3 PLAN OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 have been funded by the issuance of common stock for cash of $355,012, and proceeds from sale of the Company's traditional connectivity business of $900,000. The Company has continued to take steps to reduce its monthly operating expenses relating to its core business and has expanded its efforts in creating a market for the health care industry. Because of the uncertainty associated with this new market, breakeven cash flow is not expected until late 2004, at the earliest. The Company is seeking additional capital to fund expected operating costs and has engaged in negotiations to merge or sell part or all of the Company. No firm or definitive commitments for mergers or acquisitions have been obtained at this time and the Company continues to negotiate with certain parties to address the operating cash flow shortfalls. We believe future funding may be obtained from public or private offerings of equity securities, debt or convertible debt securities or other sources. Stockholders should assume that any additional funding will likely be dilutive. If we are unable to raise additional funding, we may have to limit our operations to an extent that we cannot presently determine. The effect on our business may include the sale of certain assets, the reduction or curtailment of new customer acquisition, reduction in the scope of current operations or the cessation of business operations. Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to raise additional operating capital, continued growth in demand for connectivity services and our ability to execute and deliver high quality, reliable connectivity services. Effective June 17, 2004, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with DFW Internet Services, Inc. ("DFW"), a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MobilePro Corporation for the sale of certain assets related to connectivity services including wireless, digital subscriber line and traditional communication technologies to business and residential customers. Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company will receive a total of $1,150,000 of which $900,000 was cash and $250,000 was a one-year 6% secured promissory note. Additionally, DFW acquired 85% of accounts receivable associated with services provided to the Company's customers through June 17, 2004. Further, DFW entered into a one-year sublease for the Company's leased space at 701 N. Post Oak Road, Suite 630, Houston, Texas, for rental rate of $3,000 per month. ITEM 3.
