AMERIVISION COMMUNICATIONS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements for AmeriVision Communications, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in the Company's 2002 annual report 10K. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

NOTE C — LEGAL MATTERS

 

In August 2002, the Florida Department of Revenue issued to AmeriVision Communications, Inc. proposed assessments totaling approximately $1.8 million, which includes penalties and interest of approximately $1 million for underpayment of Florida sales and use taxes and gross receipts taxes, during the period September 1993 through August 1998. The Company disagrees with the proposed assessments and filed a protest with the Department. On April 28, 2003 the Department issued a Notice of Decision, reducing portions of the proposed assessments and sustaining the remainder. The balance shown on the Notice of Decision after application of interest through April 14, 2003 is $1.7 million. The Company has filed a petition for reconsideration of the Notice of Decision, and has engaged Florida counsel to advise and assist it in this matter.  The company believes, based upon prior experience, it is not liable for this assessment and has not recorded it as a liability as of June 30, 2003 in the financial statements.

 

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

 

On February 4, 1999, the Company obtained a line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) from Coast Business Credit (“Coast”), a division of Southern Pacific Bank, a California corporation. On August 6, 2002, the Company was notified by Coast of its intention not to renew the Credit Facility following the occurrence of its maturity date, January 30, 2003. During September 2002, the Company was also notified of an event of default under the Credit Facility. The event of default resulted from a greater decrease in the appraised value of the Company’s subscriber base than allowed by the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2002, the Company was also in default of its debt service coverage ratio. Subsequent to year end, the Company did receive a waiver of this default from Coast. On February 7, 2003, the California Division of Financial Institutions closed Southern Pacific Bank, the parent company of Coast, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was named receiver. The Company executed two amendments to the existing Credit Facility, whereby the FDIC as receiver of Coast agreed to forbear from taking any further actions against the Company through May 31, 2003. The terms of the amendments included requirements that the Company would: reduce the maximum borrowing under the Credit Facility to $14.1 million by May 31, 2003, pay certain fees, not make any payments to subordinated note holders, and follow a determined plan for expenditures.

 

On May 14, 2003, the Credit Facility was sold to LINC Credit L.L.C. (“LINC Credit”) The Company entered into a forbearance agreement (“Forbearance Agreement”) with LINC Credit effective July 14, 2003.  The Forbearance Agreement provides for the Credit Facility to remain in place and for LINC Credit to forego its remedies under the Credit Facility until September 30, 2003 at which time the Forbearance Agreement may be extended for two additional months under certain conditions.  Upon termination of the Forbearance Agreement, LINC Credit will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the repayment of the entire amount outstanding under the Credit Facility.

 

The Credit Facility carries an interest rate of prime plus 3.5%, adjustable monthly, with a contractual floor of 9.0%. The stated interest rate at June 30, 2003 was 9.0%.  The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including accounts receivable and the Company’s customer base. Outstanding balances at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 were $13.7 million and $12.1 million respectively.

 

On July 7, 2003, the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was approximately $12.1 million. Advances were made to the Company pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement equal to the net amount of funds collected by LINC Credit, primarily from the Company’s lockbox, for the period June 19, 2003 through July 14, 2003, less the sum of $300,000.  Advances from cash collected by LINC Credit during the forbearance period will be reduced by $35,000 per week for the period July 15, 2003 through August 29, 2003, and by $40,000 per week for the period September 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003.  During the extension period the advances will be reduced by $40,000 per week through to October 31, 2003 and then by $45,000 per week until the termination of the Forbearance Agreement.

 

Several of the Company’s creditors (the “Subordinated Creditors”) have agreed to accept a subordinated position in favor of the issuer of the Credit Facility. Repayment of these obligations is limited as specified in the various subordination agreements executed by the Subordinated Creditors. The total outstanding debt owed to the Subordinated Creditors as of June 30, 2003, was approximately $4.7 million.

 

The Credit Facility contains various financial and other covenants with which the Company must comply, including restrictions on asset acquisitions, restrictions on the payment of dividends, and restrictions on principal and interest payments to the Subordinated Creditors.

 

8



 

The Company is actively pursuing other available financing options that may be available. As discussed further in Note E to the financial statements, if the Company is not successful in obtaining alternative financing, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they come due.

 

 

NOTE E — FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

At June 30, 2003, the Company had an accumulated stockholders’ deficiency of $13.9 million and negative working capital of $17.8 million. Declining billable minutes, lower rates, and elimination of certain other fees, have reduced the Company’s net sales from $33.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2002, to $23.1 million for the same period in 2003. In addition, as discussed in Note D, the Credit Facility has matured and is subject to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement.   The Company is also in default to certain subordinated and non-subordinated debt holders with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $5.5 million, some of which may be subject to legal challenge.  These debt holders may have the right to demand payment of the outstanding balances, plus penalties and accrued interest, subject to the terms of their agreements.  The Company has retained a finance and restructuring consultant who is actively pursuing new financing alternatives to replace both its Credit Facility and a portion of its debt holders.

 

Management plans to maintain the cost-cutting measures enacted in previous years and continue to search for new ways to control expenses, including negotiations of new carrier contracts and improved collection procedures. The Company is implementing a series of initiatives and programs designed to help increase the customer base resulting in increased revenues. The Company has begun a new agent program known as the “LifeLine Giving Network.” In May 2003, the  Company  finalized an agreement to resell a bundled telephone package which includes local and long distance service.

 

The Company believes that the combination of continued cost-cutting measures, revenue enhancement programs, and successful negotiation of a new credit facility must occur to enable the Company to continue in existence as a going concern. Should the Board of Directors’ and management’s plans be unsuccessful, however, the Company may be unable to meet its obligations as they come due or continue in existence as a going concern. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence as a going concern.

 

NOTE F — STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (share and dollars in thousands, per share amounts not in thousands)

 

At June 30, 2003, the Company had several stock-based compensation plans. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and its various interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the calculation of net income (loss), as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income loss and earnings loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock-based employee compensation.

GENERAL

 

Since 1998, we have experienced a decline in annual net sales from $124.2 million in 1998 to $64.1 million in 2002. The net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, were $33.8 million and $23.1 million.  From June 2002 to June 2003, subscribers with traffic have decreased by 11%. To counteract the decline in revenue and subscribers we have implemented several significant cost cutting strategies, as well as strategies to increase our subscriber base and net revenues. The Company has finalized agreements to provide local service through a bundled package and continues to explore opportunities for additional services to be marketed to its client base.

 

Currently, the Company has a Credit Facility with LINC Credit, LLC, which is subject to a Forbearance Agreement, dated July 14, 2003 (See, Note D to Financial Statements — Line of Credit Arrangements). We continue to hold discussions with our lenders concerning refinancing the debts and to explore other alternatives for financing our operations. To that end, we hired a Finance and Restructuring consultant in July to assist us in this process.  We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in refinancing our debt, consummating reorganization, or otherwise becoming able to meet our obligations as they become due. Therefore, at June 30, 2003, substantially all of our long-term debt is classified as current. Unless these matters can be resolved, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as expressed in our independent auditors’ report included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

From our inception through December 31, 2002 we have incurred cumulative net operating losses totaling $12.1 million. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, we generated net income of $3.4 million, and $1.3 million. The improvements of net income from operating activities were primarily achieved as a result of reductions in operating expenses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2003 our net loss was $97,000 compared to a net income of  $1.2 million for the same period in 2002. We have reduced our accumulated stockholders’ deficiency from $25.8 million at December 31, 1997 to $13.9 million at June 30, 2003. In addition to the net operating losses, the accumulated deficit was partially due to our declaration and payment of quarterly capital distributions to our stockholders during the period between 1994 and 1997, totaling $16.0 million, and our redemption of common stock totaling $4.7 million.

 

Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $18.4 million at December 31, 2002 and $18.8 million at June 30, 2003, mainly as a result of the long-term debt being classified as current.

 

We bill our customers under several different methods. Some customers receive their long distance bills directly from us. We also have billing and collection agreements with several of the regional bell operating companies, or RBOCs. Customers who are billed through the RBOCs receive their long distance phone bills with their local phone bills from the RBOC.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include billing fees charged by Local Exchange Carriers (“LECs”) and other third party billing and collection companies, bad debts, commissions to salespersons, advertising and telemarketing expenses, customer service and support, and other general overhead expenses.

 

Interest expense includes the cost of financing our accounts receivable and asset purchases, including loans from our primary financial institution under our Credit Facility.

 

We have recognized a net deferred tax asset, primarily due to net operating loss carry-forwards and allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

In 1996, the FCC adopted regulations implementing the Telecommunications Act of 1996. To support universal service, carriers are required to contribute certain percentages of their annual gross receipts to fund the High Cost Fund, the Schools and Libraries Fund, and the Low Income Fund, collectively known as the Universal Service Fund, or USF. The FCC has allowed carriers to offset these charges by passing them through to their customers at a percentage rate greater than what is charged to the carrier. Effective April 2003, the FCC has passed additional legislation that will no longer allow for additional markup to customers of the pass through liability. As a result, we have reduced our USF charges according to the quarterly rates set by the FCC. For the three and six month period ended June 30, 2003, our net sales included USF fees of  $593,000 and $1.4 million before taking into account the cost of such telecommunication service of $504,000 and $885,000.

Net Sales: Net sales decreased 38% to $10.8 million for the current quarter from $.5 million for the same quarter the year earlier.  Net sales decreased 32% from $33.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease was the result of fewer billable minutes being used by a smaller customer base as well as a reduction in per minute charges to our customers and the termination of one wholesale customer that accounted for $2.4 million and $2.7million of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0 in the same periods in the current year. Total billable minutes, excluding wholesale minutes, decreased 23% for the current quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same  periods last year.  From June 2002 to June 2003, subscribers with traffic have decreased by 11%.

Our new rate plans are geared towards direct bill as we continue to build our customer retention and brand awareness.   As of June 30, 2002, 40% of our customers received a bill directly from us  compared to 55% as of June 2003.

 

Cost of Telecommunication Services: Our cost of sales are variable costs based on amounts paid to our providers for our customers’ long distance usage, as well as the amounts paid to providers for customer service and support. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the overall cost of telecommunication services were 48.8% and 44.5% of net sales compared to 40.2% and 38.9% of net sales for the same period in 2003, a 17.6% and 12.6% decrease in these costs as a percentage of net sales.

 

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003, the cost of sales and relative percentage of costs to net sales was as follows:

Overall switchless and switched operation costs decreased $3.8 million and $5.3 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, due to reduced carrier costs per minute, a reduction in total consumer minutes and the termination of the wholesale customer relationship described previously.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by  $1.8 million and $2.9 million from the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 to the same period in 2003, while the relative percent of net sales increased by  21% and 18%.  This was primarily due to fixed  costs and the cost of manpower being divided over a reduced net sales amount. The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses include the following:

Billing and Collection Expenses: Billing and collection expenses include the contractual billing fees and bad debts charged by LECs and other third party billing companies. It also includes bad debt charge-offs from our direct bill customers. The efforts to collect the direct bill customer accounts are completed by internal personnel.

Advertising and Marketing Expense: Advertising expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 to

$80,000 and $211,000, compared to $204,000 and $418,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease was primarily due to more focused efforts on specific marketing.

 

Affinity Partner Relationships: Sharing with Affinity Partners decreased by  $356,000 and $707,000 from the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same periods in 2003, due primarily to an overall decrease in net sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we made 3,500 monthly sharing distributions to Affinity Partners. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, two groups representing four Affinity Partners, which accounted for 18% of our gross revenue for the period, notified us that they would no longer endorse our products or services.  We expect that the loss of these endorsements will result in a loss of revenues from these organizations in the future. However, in the second quarter of 2003, we signed an agreement with a significant new Affinity Partner, and we are actively pursuing new relationships with other new partners.

 

Salaries and Wages: Salaries and Wages expenses decreased by $83,000 and $329,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, due primarily to reorganization efforts.

 

Other General and Administrative Expense: Other general and administrative expenses decreased by $720,000 and $1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The primary reason for these decreases was due to increased controls on expenses.

 

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $538,000 and $1.4 million  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $538,000 and $1.1 million in the same period in 2002.

 

Interest Expense and Other Finance Charges: Interest expense and other finance charges increased by 9% and 1% to $693,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $635,000 and  $1.3 million in the same periods in 2002. This increase is attributable to an increase in the interest rate on the revolving Credit Facility as the debt came due which was offset in part by a reduction in our Credit Facility balance due to repayments from operating cash flow.

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit): During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 we recorded deferred income tax benefits of $117,000 and $64,000 compared to deferred tax expense of $267,000 and $751,000 for the same period in 2002.  The income tax benefits recognized in the financial statements consist primarily of the deferred tax effects of the temporary differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss carry-forwards.

 

Net Income: During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 we reported net losses of $180,000 and $97,000 compared to net income of $682,000 and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

 

Our working capital has improved by $430,000 from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003 while our cash increased by $640,000. During the same period, we reduced our Credit Facility by $1.6 million.

 

Credit Facility and Loans:  On February 4, 1999, the Company obtained a line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) from Coast Business Credit (“Coast”), a division of Southern Pacific Bank, a California corporation. On August 6, 2002, the Company was notified by Coast of its intention not to renew the Credit Facility following the occurrence of its maturity date, January 30, 2003. During September 2002, the Company was also notified of an event of default under the Credit Facility. The event of default resulted from a greater decrease in the appraised value of the Company’s subscriber base than allowed by the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2002, the Company was also in default of its debt service coverage ratio. Subsequent to year end, the Company did receive a waiver of this default from Coast. On February 7, 2003, the California Division of Financial Institutions closed Southern Pacific Bank, the parent company of Coast, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was named receiver. The Company executed two amendments to the existing Credit Facility, whereby the FDIC as receiver of Coast agreed to forbear from taking any further actions against the Company through May 31, 2003. The terms of the amendments included requirements that the Company would: reduce the maximum borrowing under the Credit Facility to $14.1 million by May 31, 2003, pay certain fees, not make any payments to subordinated note holders, and follow a determined plan for expenditures.

 

13



 

On May 14, 2003, the Credit Facility was sold to LINC Credit L.L.C. (“LINC Credit”) The Company entered into a forbearance agreement (“Forbearance Agreement”) with LINC Credit effective July 14, 2003.  The Forbearance Agreement provides for the Credit Facility to remain in place and for LINC Credit to forego its remedies under the Credit Facility until September 30, 2003 at which time the Forbearance Agreement may be extended for two additional months under certain conditions.  Upon termination of the Forbearance Agreement, LINC Credit will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the repayment of the entire amount outstanding under the Credit Facility.

 

The Credit Facility carries an interest rate of prime plus 3.5%, adjustable monthly, with a contractual floor of 9.0%. The stated interest rate at June 30, 2003 was 9.0%.  The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including accounts receivable and the Company’s customer base. Outstanding balances at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003 were $13.7 million and $12.1 million respectively.

 

On July 7, 2003, the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was approximately $12.1 million. Advances were made to the Company pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement equal to the net amount of funds collected by LINC Credit, primarily from the Company’s lockbox, for the period June 19, 2003 through July 14, 2003, less the sum of $300,000.  Advances from cash collected by LINC Credit during the forbearance period will be reduced by $35,000 per week for the period July 15, 2003 through August 29, 2003, and by $40,000 per week for the period September 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003.  During the extension period the advances will be reduced by $40,000 per week through to October 31, 2003 and then by $45,000 per week until the termination of the Forbearance Agreement.

 

Several of the Company’s creditors (the “Subordinated Creditors”) have agreed to accept a subordinated position in favor of the issuer of the Credit Facility. Repayment of these obligations is limited as specified in the various subordination agreements executed by the Subordinated Creditors. The total outstanding debt owed to the Subordinated Creditors as of June 30, 2003, was approximately $4,700,000.

 

The Credit Facility contains various financial and other covenants with which the Company must comply, including restrictions on asset acquisitions, restrictions on the payment of dividends, and restrictions on principal and interest payments to the Subordinated Creditors.

 

The Company is actively pursuing other available financing options that may be available. As discussed further in Note E to the financial statements, if the Company is not successful in obtaining alternative financing, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they come due.

 

As a result of the Company’s default under the Credit Facility, Coast required the Company to stop payment to the Subordinated Creditors, and consequently the Company is in default of $5.5 million principal amount of our subordinated and certain non-subordinated notes, which may be subject to legal challenge.  A non-subordinated lender presently may have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the repayment of the entire $1.6 million principal balance and related penalties and interest outstanding under these notes, which may be subject to legal challenge. The subordinated lenders also may have the right to demand repayment of the entire $3.9 million principal balance and related penalties and interest outstanding under these notes, subject to notification to and prior rights of the secured creditor.  Certain of our subordinated note holders have expressed a desire to accelerate the repayment of their notes.

CASH FLOWS

 

Operating Activities

 

Significant uses of cash in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2003 include a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.3 million.  Significant sources of cash in operating activities for 2003 were a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.6 million. We also generated cash from operations by recording certain non-cash expenses, principally depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million.

 

Significant uses of cash for operating activities during six months ended June 30, 2002 included an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $246,000. A significant source of cash for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002 includes an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.3 million. We also generated cash from operations by recording net income of $1.2 million, deferred income tax expense of $751,000, and certain non-cash expenses, principally depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million.

 

Investing Activities

 

Our investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 consisted of property and equipment purchases of $914,000 and $12,000.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, financing activities used $4.2 million and $1.9 million in cash. The most significant use of cash was the repayments of notes, leases payable, and reduction of our Credit Facility. The repayment of loans to related parties totaled $238,000 and $320,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003.

OTHER MATTERS

 

Intangible Assets

 

We amortize intangible assets representing covenants not to compete on a straight-line basis over their contractual periods ranging up to five years. At each balance sheet date, we assess whether there has been any permanent impairment in the value of these intangible assets such as an occurrence of the breach of the agreement. The factors considered by us include if any breach in the agreements has occurred. We believe there has been no impairment in the carrying value of intangible assets at June 30, 2003. However, the contractual period of a covenant not to compete with a former CEO can be accelerated upon termination of the consulting agreement with the former CEO. If the consulting agreement is terminated by the former CEO or by us, it would cause the remaining book value of the non-competition agreement, $1.6 million, to be amortized as an expense over the succeeding six months.

 

Inflation and Changing Prices

 

Telecommunications revenues do not necessarily track the changes in general inflation. Rather, they tend to respond to the level of activity on the part of the telecommunications industry in combination with the number of competing companies. Capital and operating costs are influenced to a larger extent by specific price changes in the telecommunications industry and to a lesser extent by changes in general inflation.

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

This report contains forward-looking statements and information that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate” and “expect” and similar expressions. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events, based on what we believe are reasonable assumptions; however, such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

We are not exposed to market risk from the changes in marketable securities, as we have no such instruments.

 

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor, equipment and new materials. We do not believe that inflation has had any material effect on our results of operations during the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2002 and 2003.

 

We are exposed to future earnings or cash flow fluctuations from changes in interest rates on borrowings under our Credit Facility since amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a fluctuating rate equal to the prime lending rate plus 3.5%. Our stated interest rate at June 30, 2003 was 9.0%, which represents the floor rate of our Credit Facility. At June 30, 2003 we had $12.2 million of outstanding debt bearing interest at floating rates. Market risk is estimated as the potential increase in interest rate for borrowing under our Credit Facility resulting from an increase in prime. Based on borrowings under our Credit Facility at June 30, 2003, a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in prime would increase our interest expense on an annual basis by $122,000.

 

Our operations are all originated within the United States and we therefore conduct all business transactions in U.S. dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Except for the resignation of the our Chief Financial Officer in April 2003, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

 

Randall Muth joined the company in May of 2003 and was promoted to Chief Financial Officer in July 2003.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In August 2002, the Florida Department of Revenue issued to AmeriVision Communications, Inc. proposed assessments totaling approximately $1.8 million, which includes penalties and interest of approximately $1 million for underpayment of Florida sales and use taxes and gross receipts taxes, during the period September 1993 through August 1998. The Company disagrees with the proposed assessments and filed a protest with the Department. On April 28, 2003 the Department issued a Notice of Decision, reducing portions of the proposed assessments and sustaining the remainder. The balance shown on the Notice of Decision after application of interest through April 14, 2003 is $1.7 million. The Company has filed a petition for reconsideration of the Notice of Decision, and has engaged Florida counsel to advise and assist it in this matter.  The company believes, based upon prior experience, it is not liable for this assessment and has not recorded it as a liability as of June 30, 2003 in the financial statements.

 

 

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

In June 2003, we issued 12,000 shares of common stock to the Board of Directors for their service to the Company.

 

 

Item 3. Default upon Senior Securities

 

We are currently in a “Permitted Event of Default” of our Credit Facility, as that term is defined in our Forbearance Agreement.  Our existing “Permitted Event of Default” of our Credit Facility has been waived pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement with our primary lender.

 

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On July 31, 2003, the company held its annual meeting of shareholders.  At that meeting, nine directors were nominated as set forth in management’s proxy material, along with one nomination from the floor.  Nine directors were elected by plurality vote.  They were:

 

Tom Choquette

David Clark

Sharon Freeny

Wilbur Fullbright

Belarmino Gonzalez

Kenneth Guthrie

Curtis Nestegard

Art Richardson

Wallace Walcher

 

Appointment of the independent auditors was ratified.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

Agreements with Carriers.  In 2003, we lowered our transmission service costs and resolved certain billing disputes and claims between our vendors and us. We are continuing negotiations with existing and prospective carriers that could further reduce our cost of telecommunications service for 2003.

 

CFO.  Randall Muth joined our management team in May of 2003 and was promoted to Chief Financial Officer in July 2003.  Mr. Muth has spent the last 18 years of his career in senior management positions in both finance and operations with public and private companies operating in the communications and telecommunications sectors.  Prior to that, Mr. Muth spent a number of years in public practice with national public accounting firms, providing financial accounting and tax services to clients.  Mr. Muth earned his Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Alberta.
