PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Unless otherwise indicated or the
context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” herein
refer to the Registrant and WQN, after giving effect to the Merger (as defined
below).
The
Registrant Quamtel, Inc., formerly known as Atomic Guppy, Inc., was incorporated
on November 16, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On
July 28, 2009, the Registrant and WQN, Inc., a Texas corporation (“WQN”)
consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the
shareholders of WQN received a total of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As a
result of the Merger, the shareholders of WQN owned approximately 91% of the
then outstanding Common Stock of the Registrant, and WQN became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant, through which its primary operations are now
conducted.
In
conjunction with closing the Merger, certain outstanding obligations of the
Registrant including officers and director’s compensation, notes and amounts
payable to officers and directors and third party loans outstanding were
exchanged for 1,275,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
WQN was
formed as a Texas corporation in June 2007. The Company’s principal office
is located at 14911 Quorum Drive, Suite 140 Dallas, Texas 75254, and its
telephone number is 972-361-1980.
The
Company provides prepaid and postpaid enhanced telecommunications services with
an emphasis on transporting calls that originate from the United States and
Canada and terminate to specific regions of the world. Customers utilize WQN’s
Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) network to place quality international
calls at discounted rates. The voice quality of WQN’s VoIP calls is virtually
the same as an international telephone call carried over a traditional telephone
line. A substantial portion of WQN’s revenue is derived from the sale of prepaid
service to customers calling from the United States to India. WQN’s products and
services are provisioned and sold online via its websites.
The
Company’s primary products are international prepaid calling services, primarily
marketed as EasyTalk. WQN focuses on quality and convenience features for
consumers and believes that EasyTalk is a step beyond the traditional calling
cards consumers typically use to place low cost international calls. WQN’s
network is securely integrated with its websites and provides customers with
instant activation and immediate access to the service, eliminating the need to
use a PIN or switch long distance carriers. Through automatic number
identification recognition, WQN systematically recognizes the telephone numbers
customers register during the online sign up process. EasyTalk consumer features
include 24 hour online and over the phone recharge, speed dial, PINless dialing
and online access to account balance, call history and purchase history. Due to
the high cost of placing international calls directly from a cell phone, a
growing number of WQN’s customers register their cell phones with the service to
place low cost international calls. WQN plans to continue to focus on the
development of online and mobile applications to leverage a broader base of cell
phone subscribers with a need to quickly and conveniently place low cost
international calls from their cell phones. As of December 31, 2009 WQN had
approximately 7,763 prepaid calling card customers including EasyTalk customers.
Revenues generated from these product offerings amounted to approximately
$2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The
Company’s consumer based broadband Internet telephony product, RocketVoIP,
allows customers to place unlimited local, long distance and international calls
using their high-speed Internet connection. Included in RocketVoIP’s monthly
service fee are features such as caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding and
enhanced voice mail. RocketVoIP customers have the option to use their cell
phone to make local, long distance and international calls using the plan’s
included minutes. As of December 31, 2009 WQN had approximately 611 Rocket VoIP
customers, and revenues generated for this product offering amounted to
approximately $210,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2009.
The
Company’s enhanced personal toll free service, My800Online, allows customers to
obtain a toll free number and route it to any home, business or cell phone
number in the world. Using My800Online’s account management interface, customers
can change the number their personal toll free number is routed to and view
their call detail records and billing history online. The Company is currently
expanding My800Online to include virtual office features such as auto attendant,
faxing, personalized greetings and enhanced voice mail to cater to the needs of
small business owners on a tight budget. Approximately $30,000 of revenues were
generated for this product in 2009.

Effective
September 30, 2009, the Company acquired the URL 800.com for $250,000 cash
plus 25,000 of its common shares. In December 2009, the Company
acquired the URL DataJack.com for $30,000 cash plus the commitment to issue
10,000 of its common shares in 2010. A marketing plan for these
acquisitions is currently being developed. The DataJack.com and 800.com URLs are
together referred to as the “Domain Names.”
On
December 9, 2009, the Company acquired all of the outstanding membership
interests of Mobile Internet Devices, LLC, a Florida limited liability (“Mobile
Devices”), for a combination of common stock, stock warrants, and a royalty
based on future earnings and new subscribers of the acquired
company. Mobile devices was subsequently renamed and reorganized as
Data Jack, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Data Jack”). Data Jack was formed in
February 2009, and its revenues prior to the Company’s acquisition were
$96,113. Data Jack specializes in delivering nationwide mobile 3G
data coverage for a competitive fixed monthly price, through a proprietary USB
device connected to any computer with a Windows or Mac operating
system.

Competition
We
compete in the retail prepaid calling services market and the consumer broadband
Internet telephony market. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and
have greater financial, technical, engineering, customer support and marketing
resources, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and larger
customer bases than we do. Many of our competitors enjoy economies of scale that
can result in lower cost structure for transmission and related costs that could
cause significant pricing pressures. Our online presence is in direct
competition with other online sellers of prepaid calling and broadband Internet
telephony services. Many of our competitors also sell comparable products in
physical form in retail stores. Although the market for these services is highly
competitive, we believe we can compete effectively because of our experience in
the online distribution of products and services, the speed in which we can
bring enhanced services and features to market, and our continued focus on
quality at a competitive price. Collectively, these advantages represent a
competitive advantage that we expect will allow us to expand both in volume and
profit margins.
Regulation
International
Services
The
Company’s international services are regulated by the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”). The FCC’s regulations distinguish between dominant and
non-dominant providers of international services. The Company is considered a
non-dominant provider of international services. As such, it is subject to
minimal regulation and oversight.
2
The
Company is also subject to certain minimal annual reporting requirements for its
international operations and must pay annual regulatory fees and contribute to
various federal funds including the federal Telecommunications Relay Fund
(“TRS”). In addition, the Company must contribute to the funding of the North
American Numbering Plan (“NANPA”) and Local Number Portability (“LNPA”)
Administrators. The Company is entitled to recover all of these contributions
and fees from its customers, either through direct surcharges or as part of its
rates. The Company has made, or is in the process of making, the necessary
federal filings, has paid the required fees and believes it is in compliance
with all applicable requirements.
While the
Company must file reports with the FCC for the federal Universal Service Fund
(“USF”), the Company’s international operations are generally not subject to a
contribution obligation. This is because of the FCC’s Limited International
Revenue Exemption (“LIRE”). Under the LIRE, contributors whose interstate
revenues comprise less than twelve percent of their combined interstate and
international revenues only contribute based on their interstate revenues.
However, if the Company’s VoIP operations (see below) grow substantially, the
Company may no longer be subject to the LIRE and may be required to contribute
to the fund based on its international revenues. However, the Company is
entitled to recover its USF contributions from its customers, either through
direct surcharges or as part of its rates.
As a
non-dominant carrier, the Company is not required to file a tariff for its
services and its rates are not regulated by the FCC. The FCC also does not have
rules governing the provision of international prepaid services. However, the
Company is required to post its rates on its Internet website and maintain
records for a specified period of time in order to respond to customer
inquiries. The Company is in compliance with these requirements.
As an
international provider, the Company is not subject to regulation by any of the
state public utility commissions. However, in some states the Company’s prepaid
operations may be subject to statutory provisions enforced by the Attorney
General or other state agency enforcing consumer protection standards relating
to the issuance of prepaid cards, the establishment of prepaid accounts, and
disclosures associated with prepaid cards and accounts. The Company believes
that its general operating procedures already comply with most of these
requirements and that, should it become subject to such requirements, the impact
on the Company’s business will be minimal.
Voice
Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Services
The
Company’s VoIP services utilize cutting edge technology, the regulatory status
of which has not been definitively determined. Specifically, the FCC has not yet
determined if the service is an unregulated information service or a regulated
telecommunications service. An FCC rulemaking proceeding to identify how various
types of IP-enabled service, including VoIP, should be classified and regulated
has been pending since 2004.
Starting
in 2005, the FCC singled out one particular type of VoIP service, which it calls
interconnected VoIP service, for various types of non-rate regulation.
Interconnected VoIP service is defined as a service that (1) enables real-time,
two-way voice communications; (2) requires a broadband connection from the
user's location; (3) requires IP-compatible CPE; and (4) permits users generally
to receive calls that originate on the PSTN and to terminate calls to the PSTN.
This definition fits the type of service that the Company currently
provides.
Generally
speaking, the FCC views this service as a substitute for traditional telephone
service. While not ruling definitively as to whether this service is a
telecommunications service, the FCC has imposed various operational obligations
on providers of interconnected VoIP service. This includes: providing enhanced
911 (E911) capabilities as a standard feature of all interconnected VoIP and
making certain customer disclosures; complying with the requirements of the
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA); and complying with
the FCC’s telecommunications relay service, disability access, Customer
Proprietary Network Information (CPNI), and local number portability rules that
currently apply to telecommunications carriers. The FCC has not required the
filing of tariffs for interconnected VoIP service and does not regulate the
rates and charges for such services. The Company believes it is currently in
compliance with these operational requirements.
The FCC
has also imposed various financial and other reporting requirements on
interconnected VoIP providers. This includes registration, annual local
competition and broadband reporting, and the filing of annual CPNI statements.
In addition, interconnected VoIP providers must report their revenues and
contribute to the USF, TRS, NANPA, and LNPA funding mechanisms and pay
regulatory fees. The Company is entitled to recover all of these fees from its
customers, either through direct surcharges or as part of its rates. The Company
believes it is currently in compliance with these reporting and financial
requirements.
3
The FCC
had not yet ruled definitively on whether access charges apply to traffic that
originates and/or terminates to interconnected VoIP networks. The imposition of
such charges may affect the underlying costs of the Company’s service but the
Company does not anticipate that it will have an adverse impact on the Company’s
business prospects. First, all competitors will be subject to the same
requirements, ensuring a level playing field. In addition, if the Company is
allowed to asses originating access charges on calls which originate from its
customer base and terminate to other carriers, the Company will recognize a new
revenue stream not currently available to it.
Since the
regulatory status of VoIP service has not been definitively determined, it is
possible that additional regulation will be applied to the Company in the
future. However, even if the FCC determines that interconnected VoIP services
are telecommunications services, the Company would be considered a non-dominant
carrier and would not be subject to tariff or rate regulation. Significantly,
the FCC has said the interconnected VoIP providers are most similar to wireless
carriers, who are largely unregulated on both the federal and state
levels.
Interconnected
VoIP service has generally not been subject to state public utility commission
regulation. In 2004, the FCC ruled that VoIP services meeting certain
characteristics are interstate in nature and cannot be regulated by the states.
A major reason for the FCC’s decision was the inability of VoIP providers to
identify which calls were completed on an interstate basis and which calls were
completed on an intrastate basis. The preemption will apply to entities who,
like the Company, offer IP-enabled services with these basic characteristics:
(1) the service requires a broadband connection; (2) the service requires
IP-compatible CPE; and (3) the service offering includes a suite of integrated
capabilities and features, able to be invoked sequentially or simultaneously,
that allow customers to manage personal communications dynamically, including
enabling them to originate and receive voice communications and access other
features and capabilities, even video. The FCC’s decision was affirmed by the
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. However, the Court left open the possibility
that “If, in the future, advances in technology undermine the central rationale
of the FCC's decision, its preemptive effect may be reexamined.”
Due to
this decision, state commissions have not attempted to regulate the rates,
terms, and conditions of VoIP service. Significantly, state legislatures have
begun to address the proper regulatory treatment of VoIP service and have, in
all cases where the issue was considered, amended the state communications
statute to expressly prohibit the state from regulating the rates, terms, and
conditions of VoIP service. In some cases, state commissions have been given
authority to require the registration (but not certification) of VoIP providers
and to collect state USF, TRS, and similar fees from VoIP providers. In
addition, many states require VoIP providers to collect state 911 (emergency
telephone service) charges and remit those to a state entity. The Company is in
compliance with these registration and remittance requirements in the states in
which it operates. The Company is entitled to recover all of the contributions
and fees it must pay from its customers, either through direct surcharges or as
part of its rates. While additional states may adopt similar requirements in the
future, the Company does not believe that these requirements have, or will have,
a materially adverse impact on its business.
From time
to time, new legislation may be enacted that affects the telecommunications and
VoIP industries and the Company’s business. Additionally, court decisions
interpreting existing laws and rules and regulations applicable to the industry
may also have a significant effect on the Company’s business. There can be no
assurance that the FCC, PUCs, or any other regulatory authorities will not raise
material issues with regard to the Company’s compliance with existing
regulations or that changes to existing laws and regulations or the enactment of
new ones, applicable to the activities of the Company, will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
Patents
and Trademarks
The
Company has no patents, and relies on the technical experience of its key
employees, coupled with its existing business relationships to support its
operations. The Company is pursuing selected trademark
applications.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009, the Company
had 17 employees, consisting of 6 in management, 4 in technical support,
and 7 in customer service and administration.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Before you invest in the Company's
securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should
consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other
information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase the
Company's securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop
into actual events, the Company's business, financial condition or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected and you could lose your entire
investment in the Company.
Risks Relating to Our
Business
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may also hinder our
ability to obtain future financing.
In their
report dated March 26, 2010, our independent registered public accounting
firm stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2009 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. However,
they expressed substantial doubt about our ability to do so. The Company has
experienced an accumulated loss deficit of $1,930,012 as of December 31,
2009, including a net loss of $1,931,897 for the year ended December 31,
2009. We also had a working capital deficit of $1,330,097 at December 31,
2009 and cash on hand of $94,003. We also expect to incur additional losses for
the first quarter of 2010.
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to increase
revenues and generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside
sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities,
generating sales, or obtaining financing from various financial institutions
where possible. By adjusting our operations and development to the level of
capitalization, we believe that we have sufficient capital resources to meet
projected near-term cash flow requirements. However, if during that period or
thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from
operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to
us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, liquidity and financial condition. There can be no assurances that
our efforts will prove successful. The Company's financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
We
have limited operating history upon which you can evaluate us.
The
Registrant had no operations just prior to the Merger, and WQN has only been in
operation since June 2007 and has incurred substantial operating losses.
Therefore we have very limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our
current business and prospects. You should consider our prospects in light of
the risks, expenses and difficulties we may encounter as an early stage company
a business in the new and rapidly evolving VoIP market.
Insufficient
systems capacity or systems failures could harm our business.
Our
business depends on the performance and reliability of the computer and
communications systems supporting it. Notwithstanding our current capacity,
heavy use of our computer systems during peak trading times or at times of
unusual market volatility could cause our systems to operate slowly or even to
fail for periods of time. If our systems cannot be expanded successfully to
handle increased demand, or otherwise fail to perform, we could experience
disruptions in service, slower response times, and delays in introducing new
products and services.
Our
systems and operations also are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human
error, natural disasters, power loss, sabotage or terrorism, computer viruses,
intentional acts of vandalism, and similar events. Any system failure that
causes an interruption in service or decreases the responsiveness of our service
could impair our reputation, damage our brand name and negatively impact our
revenues. We also rely on a number of third parties for systems support. Any
interruption in these third-party services or deterioration in the performance
of these services could also be disruptive to our business and have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. We
cannot predict the likelihood that services provided by third parties may be
interrupted.
5
We
have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the
absence of which, stockholders may have more limited protections against
interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar
matters.
Recent
Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in
the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the
integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these
measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been
adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities
exchanges, such as the NYSE or The Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their
securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required
under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of
directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code
of ethics. We have also not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics nor
have we yet adopted any other corporate governance measures and, since our
securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required
to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or
other independent committees of our Board of Directors. Prospective investors
should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in
formulating their investment decisions.
Our internal controls over financial
reporting, and our disclosure controls and procedures, are not adequate, and our
independent auditors may not be able to later certify as to their adequacy,
which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business and
reputation.
Section 404
of Sarbanes-Oxley and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) associated with Sarbanes-Oxley, which we refer to
as Section 404, require a reporting company to, among other things,
annually review and disclose its internal controls over financial reporting, and
evaluate and disclose changes in its internal controls over financial reporting
quarterly. Under Section 404 a reporting company is required to document
and evaluate such internal controls in order to allow its management to report
on, and its independent auditors to attest to, these controls. We are required
to comply with Section 404 not later than our fiscal year ending
December 2010. As reported in Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures, we have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, and our financial
reporting controls, are currently ineffective. If we are not able to implement
the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate
compliance, our independent auditors may not be able to certify as to the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and we may be
subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the
Commission. As a result, there could be an adverse reaction in the financial
markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial
statements. In addition, we may be required to incur substantial costs in
improving our internal control system and the hiring of additional personnel.
Any such actions could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition.
Our
inability to protect our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our
business.
To
protect our intellectual property rights, we rely on a combination of trademark
laws, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual
arrangements with our affiliates, customers, strategic investors and others. The
protective steps we have taken may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of
our proprietary information. We may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of,
or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Failure
to protect our intellectual property adequately could harm our brand and affect
our ability to compete effectively. Further, defending our intellectual property
rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial
resources, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and
operating results.
Intellectual
property and proprietary rights of others may prevent us from using the
technology necessary to provide our services and may subject us to expensive
intellectual property litigation.
If a
court determines that the technology necessary for us to provide our services
infringes a patent held by another person, and if that person is unwilling to
grant us a license on acceptable terms, we may be ordered not to use the
technology. We may also be ordered to pay significant monetary damages to the
patent-holder. If we are ordered not to use the technology, we may be forced to
cease offering services that depend on such use. In the event that a claim of
infringement is brought against us based on the use or sale of our technology,
or against any of our customers based on the use of our technology which we have
agreed to indemnify our customers against, we may be subject to litigation to
determine whether there is an infringement. Such litigation is expensive and
distracting to our business and operations, regardless of the outcome of the
suit.
If
our fraud prevention methods are not effective, our business, reputation and
financial results may be adversely affected.
We are
susceptible to online cardholder-not-present fraud and call processing fraud. We
control fraud through the use of internally developed proprietary technology and
commercially available licensed technology. Traditional means of controlling
online cardholder-not-present fraud insufficiently controls fraudsters who
obtain personal credit card information and pose as legitimate cardholders. To
address this risk, we have developed automated proprietary as well as
off-the-shelf technology, coupled with in-house staff reviews, to constantly
monitor and block suspicious transactions based on defined criteria. We are also
at risk attempts to hack into our system using various PIN combinations in an
attempt to find a valid account. To address this risk, our system has integrated
fraud detection mechanisms that detect such patterns and block the numbers from
making further attempts. In-house fraud specialists also monitor traffic reports
and usage patterns to identify and investigate suspicious calling patterns.
While we place a high priority on fraud prevention, there is no guarantee that
our measures will be successful in preventing significant fraudulent use of our
network and resources, thereby materially adversely affecting our business,
reputation and financial results.
6
We
depend on key management personnel and the loss of their services could
adversely affect our business.
We rely
substantially on the efforts and abilities of our executive officer Stuart
Ehrlich, and our non-executive staff and consultants. The loss of the services
of any of our key personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business,
operations, revenues or prospects. We also do not maintain key-man life
insurance policies.
Also, we
believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to
attract and retain highly skilled, knowledgeable, sophisticated and qualified
managerial, professional and technical personnel. We have experienced
significant competition in attracting and retaining personnel who possess the
skills that we are seeking. As a result of this significant competition, we may
experience a shortage of qualified personnel.
Certain
aspects of our business depend on the increased volume of traffic on our
network. In order to realize our targets for sales and revenue growth, cash
flow, operating efficiencies and other network benefits, we must continue to
increase the volume of Internet, data, voice and video transmissions on our
communications network at acceptable prices. If we do not maintain or improve
our current relationship with existing customers and develop new large-volume
and enterprise customers, we may not be able to substantially increase traffic
on our network. The failure to increase network traffic would adversely affect
our ability to become profitable.
Our
business depends on our ability to continue to develop effective business
support systems, and the failure to do so would have a negative effect on our
achievement of financial goals and objectives.
Developing
effective business support systems is a complicated undertaking requiring
significant resources and expertise and support from third-party vendors.
Business support systems are needed to:
·
|
implement
customer orders for services;
|
·
|
provision,
install and deliver these services;
and
|
·
|
bill
monthly for these services.
|
Because
our business provides for continued rapid growth in our number of customers and
our volume of services we offer, we need to continue to develop our business
support systems on an accelerated schedule. Our failure to continue to develop
effective business support systems and meet proposed service rollout dates would
materially adversely affect our ability to implement our plans for growth and
meet our financial goals and objectives.
Termination
of relationships with key suppliers could cause delay and increased costs which
may adversely affect our business.
Our
business is dependent on third-party suppliers for computers, software,
transmission electronics and related components that are integrated into our
network. If any of these relationships is terminated or a supplier fails to
provide reliable services or equipment and we are unable to reach suitable
alternative arrangements quickly, we may experience significant additional
costs. If that happens, our business may be materially adversely
affected.
We
may lose customers if we experience system failures that significantly disrupt
the availability and quality of the services that we provide.
Our
operations depend on our ability to avoid and mitigate interruptions in service.
It is possible that we may experience a failure of the equipment or facility on
our network could result in a significant interruption. Our network is subject
to a number of events that could affect its ability to transfer information,
including power outages, security breaches and computer viruses. Many of these
events may be due to forces beyond our control, such as weather conditions,
natural disasters and terrorist attacks. As a result, our network may experience
information delays or require costly modifications that could interrupt service
to our customers or significantly harm our business.
7
Interruptions
in service undermine consumer confidence in our services and affect our ability
to retain existing customers and attract new ones. Also, because many of our
services are critical to our customers’ businesses, any interruption will result
in loss to our customers. Although we disclaim liability for loss arising from
interruptions in service beyond our control in our service agreements, a court
may not enforce such limitations. As a result, we may be exposed to financial
loss if a court orders us to pay monetary damages.
The
development of our communications business has required, and may continue to
require, significant expenditures. These expenditures may result in substantial
negative cash flow from operating activities and substantial net losses in the
near future. We may continue to experience losses and may not be able to achieve
or sustain operating profitability in the future. Continued operating losses may
limit our ability to obtain the cash needed to expand our network, make interest
and principal payments on our debt and fund our other business
needs.
Risks Related to Our
Industry
If
we are unable to fund the expansion and adaptation of our network to stay
competitive in the communications industry, our business would be adversely
affected.
The
communications industry is subject to rapid and significant changes in
technology. In addition, the introduction of new services and technologies, as
well as further development of existing services and technologies, may reduce
the cost or increase the supply of those we provide. As a result, our most
significant competitors in the future may be new entrants to the communications
industry. These new entrants may not be burdened by an installed base of
outdated equipment and may be better able to respond to the demands of our
industry, such as:
·
|
growing
number of customers;
|
·
|
development
and launching of new services;
|
·
|
increased
demands by customers to transmit larger amounts of
data;
|
·
|
changes
in customers’ service requirements;
|
·
|
technological
advances by competitors; and
|
·
|
governmental
regulations.
|
In order
to stay competitive in our industry we must expand and adapt our network
according to these demands. This will require substantial additional financial,
operational and managerial resources, which may not be available when needed. If
we are unable to fund the expansion or adaptation of our network quickly and at
a commercially reasonable cost, our business would be materially adversely
affected.
Failure
to complete development, testing and introduction of new services, including
VoIP services, could negatively affect our ability to compete in the industry.
We
continuously develop, test and introduce new communications services that are
delivered over our communications network. These new services are intended to
allow us to address new segments of the communications marketplace and to
compete for additional customers. In certain instances, the introduction of new
services requires the successful development of new technology. To the extent
that upgrades of existing technology are required for the introduction of new
services, the success of these upgrades may depend on successful dealings with
our vendors and on our vendors fulfilling their obligations in a timely manner.
If we are not able to successfully complete the development and introduction of
new services in a timely manner, our business could be materially adversely
affected.
In
addition, new service offerings may not be widely accepted by our customers. If
our new service offerings are not widely accepted by our customers, we may
discontinue those services and impair any assets or information technology used
to develop or offer them.
The
prices we charge for our communications services may decrease over time
resulting in lost revenue.
Over the
past few years the prices telecommunications providers have been able to charge
for certain services have decreased. This decrease results from downward market
pressure and other factors, including:
·
|
increased
transmission capacity by telecommunications companies on their existing
and new networks;
|
·
|
customer
agreements containing volume-based pricing or other contractually agreed
upon price decreases during the term of the agreement;
and
|
·
|
technological
advances or otherwise.
|
8
If we are
unable to increase traffic volume through additional services and derive
additional revenue as prices decrease, our operating results would decline.
Declining operating results may lead to lost revenue.
The
success of our VoIP services depends on the public acceptance of VoIP telephony
and there is no guarantee that our VoIP services will garner broad market
appeal.
The
success of our Voice over Internet Protocol (or VoIP) services depends on future
demand for VoIP telephony services in general in the marketplace. In order for
the IP telephony market to continue to grow, several industry developments must
take place, including:
·
|
telephone
and cable service providers continuing to invest in the deployment of high
speed broadband networks to residential and commercial
customers;
|
·
|
VoIP
networks continuing to improve quality of service for real-time
communications, managing effects such as packet jitter, packet loss and
unreliable bandwidth, so that toll-quality service can be
provided;
|
·
|
VoIP
telephony equipment and services achieving a similar level of reliability
that users of the public switched telephone network have come to expect
from their telephone service, including emergency calling features and
capabilities; and
|
·
|
VoIP
telephony service providers offering cost and feature benefits to their
customers that are sufficient to cause the customers to switch from
traditional telephony service
providers.
|
If any or
all of these developments fail to occur, our VoIP services business may not
continue or grow as expected.
In
addition, our VoIP services are a relatively new offering and we have limited
experience implementing the related programs. As a result, we may encounter many
difficulties, including regulatory hurdles, technological issues, intellectual
property matters, developmental constraints and other problems that we may not
anticipate. We can provide no assurances that we will be successful in
generating significant VoIP revenues.
The
telecommunications industry is subject to significant regulation at the
national, state, local and international levels. These regulations affect our
business and our existing and potential competitors. Obtaining required
regulatory approvals, including those related to acquisitions or financing
activities, performing under agreements with local carriers or the enactment of
adverse regulation may have a material adverse effect on our business. In
addition, future legislative and judicial actions could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
Federal
legislation provides for a significant deregulation of the U.S.
telecommunications industry, including the local exchange, long distance and
cable television industries. This legislation remains subject to judicial review
and additional Federal Communications Commission (or FCC) rulemaking. As a
result, we cannot predict the legislation’s effect on our future operations.
Many regulatory actions are under way or are being contemplated by federal and
state authorities regarding important items. These actions could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
The FCC
has, to date, treated Internet service providers as enhanced service providers.
In addition, Congress has not, to date, sought to heavily regulate intellectual
property (or IP) based services. Both Congress and the FCC are considering
proposals that involve greater regulation of IP-based service providers.
Depending on the content and scope of proposed legislation, the imposition of
new regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business and the
profitability of our services.
9
Congress,
the SEC, other regulatory authorities and the media pay very close attention to
financial reporting practices. Particular attention has been focused on the
telecommunications industry and companies’ interpretations of generally accepted
accounting principles. If we were required to restate our financial statements
as a result of a determination that we had incorrectly applied generally
accepted accounting principles, that restatement could adversely affect our
ability to access the capital markets or the trading price of our securities.
The recent scrutiny regarding financial reporting has also resulted in an
increase in litigation in the telecommunications industry. There can be no
assurance that any such litigation against us would not materially adversely
affect our business or the trading price of our securities.
Our
ability to withstand competition in the telecommunications industry may be
impeded by participants with greater resources and a greater number of existing
customers.
The
telecommunications industry is highly competitive. Many of our existing and
potential competitors have resources that are significantly greater than ours
with respect to finances, personnel, marketing and other business aspects. Many
of these competitors have the added advantage of a larger existing customer
base. In addition, significant new competition could arise as a result
of:
·
|
the
consolidation in the industry led by AT&T and Verizon in the United
States;
|
·
|
allowing
foreign carriers to compete in the U.S.
market;
|
·
|
further
technological advances; and
|
·
|
further
deregulation and other regulatory
initiatives.
|
If we are
unable to compete successfully, our business could be significantly
harmed.
Risks Related To Our Common
Stock
Our
common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading
market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock
cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes
the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require:
·
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
·
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience and objectives of the
person; and
|
·
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
·
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
·
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Provisions
of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over
which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.
Provisions
of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover
effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may
be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition,
certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes also may be deemed to have
certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in
excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless
these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested
stockholders.
Our
common stock could be removed from quotation on the OTCBB if we fail to timely
file our annual or quarterly reports. If our common stock was no
longer eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, the liquidity of our stock may be
further adversely impacted.
10
Under the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission we are required to file our
quarterly reports within 45 days from the end of the fiscal quarter and our
annual report within 90 days from the end of our fiscal year. Under rules
adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in 2005 which is
informally known as the "Three Strikes Rule", a FINRA member is prohibited from
quoting securities of an OTCBB issuer such as our company if the issuer either
fails to timely file these reports or is otherwise delinquent in the filing
requirements three times in the prior two year period or if the issuer's common
stock has been removed from quotation on the OTCBB twice in that two year
period.
Volatility
of our stock price could adversely affect stockholders.
The
market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly as a result
of:
·
|
quarterly
variations in our operating
results;
|
·
|
interest
rate changes;
|
·
|
changes
in the market’s expectations about our operating
results;
|
·
|
our
operating results failing to meet the expectation of investors in a
particular period;
|
·
|
operating
and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem
comparable to us;
|
·
|
news
reports relating to trends in our
markets;
|
·
|
changes
in laws and regulations affecting our
business;
|
·
|
material
announcements by us or our
competitors;
|
·
|
sales
of substantial amounts of common stock by our directors, executive
officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales
could occur; and
|
·
|
general
economic and political conditions such as recessions and acts of war or
terrorism.
|
Fluctuations
in the price of our common stock could contribute to the loss of all or part of
an investor’s investment in the company.
We
may never issue dividends.
We
currently do not plan to declare dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial
condition, capital requirements, earnings and other factors deemed relevant by
our board of directors. Agreements governing future indebtedness will likely
contain similar restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends. See “Dividend
Policy” for more information. Consequently, an investor’s only opportunity to
achieve a return on investment will be if the market price of our common stock
appreciates and the shares are sold for a profit.
Additional
issuances of equity securities by us would dilute the ownership of our existing
stockholders
As more
fully described in our consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity
in Item 8, we issued 2,190,000 shares of common stock in 2009, and also issued
warrants to purchase 1,054,000 common shares also in 2009. We will continue to
so issue additional equity securities pursuant to certain strategic
transactions, to fund expansion of our operations or for other purposes. We may
issue shares of our common stock in the future for consideration that is greater
than or less than the prevailing market price. To the extent we issue additional
equity securities, our shareholders’ ownership percentage may be reduced,
perhaps substantially.
In conjunction with the Data Jack, Inc.
acquisition more fully described in Note C to the consolidated financial
statements in Item 8, additional shares of the Registrant’s common stock are to
be issued to the sellers on June 30, 2011, such that the original grant of
1,500,000 shares plus the additional shares shall have a market value of at
least $1,500,000, as determined by the average closing prices of the common
stock during the month of June 2011. In addition, at such time as the
number of active subscribers for the services of the Data Jack business being
conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement shall reach 100,000 subscribers,
Registrant shall issue additional shares of its common stock to the sellers such
that the total shares issued to the sellers under the acquisition agreement
shall be equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the
Registrant.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become
involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary
course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties,
and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that
may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings
or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a
material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating
results.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION
OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
An
Information Statement and a Notice of Action Taken Without a Meeting were
furnished by the Company’s Board of Directors to the holders of our common stock
at August 10, 2009 (the “Record Date”) in connection with the following
matters:
·
|
The
filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, included by
reference in Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 10-K, which (i) changed the name of
the Company to Quamtel, Inc., and (ii) recapitalized our capital
structure by effecting (a) a one-for-ten reverse split of our common
stock, such that one new share of our common stock was issued for every
ten shares of existing common stock, and (b) increased the aggregate
number of shares that we have the authority to issue to 250,000,000
post-reverse split shares, of which 200,000,000 shares are shares of
common stock and 50,000,000 shares are shares of preferred stock;
and
|
·
|
The
adoption of the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, included by
reference in Exhibit 4.1 to this Form
10-K.
|
Pursuant
to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, any action that may be
taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without
a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing,
setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock
having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted. Our Board obtained the required approval for the
Amendment and the Plan by means of a written consent of stockholders effective
September 8, 2009. A meeting to approve the Amendment and the Plan was
therefore unnecessary, and our Board decided to forego the expense of having
one.
As
described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on December 14, 2009, following the
closing of the Data Jack acquisition, on December 9, 2009, Keith R. Jones
was elected to become a member of the Registrant’s Board of
Directors.
On
December 30, 2009, Registrant’s Board of Directors created an additional
Board seat and elected Robert Picow to fill such position. Mr. Picow was
also named as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Picow will become
a consultant to the Company and will devote substantial time on its behalf in
the areas of strategic planning, mobile industry expertise, contract
negotiations and international business development. The details of a consulting
agreement are being negotiated.
On March
16, 2010, Mr. Keith Jones submitted his resignation from Registrant’s Board of
Directors, effective March 17, 2010. The Company will seek to fill
the seat with an independent director with industry experience, and will
actively recruit additional independent directors.

intend to retain all earnings, other than those required to be paid to the
holders of any preferred stock we may issue in the future, to support our
operations and future growth. The payment of any future dividends on the common
stock will be determined by the board of directors based upon our earnings,
financial condition and cash requirements; possible restrictions in future
financing agreements, if any; business conditions; and such other factors deemed
relevant.
Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”) allows for the
issuance of options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock to selected employees, outside directors and consultants of Quamtel, Inc.,
at the sole discretion of, and with terms determined by, the Company’s board of
directors. No such options were issued through December 31, 2009.
Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered
Securities
On
December 9, 2009, 1,500,000 common shares were issued to Data Jack, Inc., a
Florida corporation owned by Keith R. Jones, and Schooner Enterprises, Inc., a
Nevada corporation owned by John W. Richardson, to acquire all of the
outstanding membership interests of Mobile Internet Devices, LLC, a Florida
limited liability company, which was subsequently reorganized into Data Jack,
Inc., a Texas corporation.
On
December 29, 2009, 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to
two investors for $100,000 cash.
13
All of these issuances were exempt from
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 on the
basis of the sophistication and small number of purchasers, and the restrictions
placed on the certificates representing the shares and the representation
received from the purchasers.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
included herein.
On
January 13, 2009, Quamtel, Inc. (formerly Atomic Guppy, Inc.) (“Quamtel”)
and WQN, Inc., a Texas corporation (“WQN”) (individually and collectively also
referred to as the “Company”) executed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share
Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the shareholders of WQN were entitled to
receive a total of 15,000,000 post-split shares of Common Stock. All conditions
for closing were satisfied or waived, and the transaction closed on
July 28, 2009. As a result of the
Exchange, the shareholders of WQN own approximately 91% of the outstanding
Common Stock of Quamtel. In conjunction with closing the Share Exchange
Agreement, certain outstanding obligations of Quamtel including officers and
director’s compensation, notes and amounts payable to officers and directors and
third party loans outstanding, were exchanged for 1,275,000 post-split shares of
Quamtel’s common stock.
As a
result of the Share Exchange Agreement, WQN became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Quamtel, through which its operations will be conducted. On September 8,
2009, Quamtel filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation concluding a
one-for-ten reverse split of its common stock, and increasing its authorized
stock to 200,000,000 common shares and 50,000,000 preferred shares.
On
December 9, 2009, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding membership interests of Mobile Internet Devices, LLC, a
Florida limited liability (“Mobile Devices”), for a combination of common stock,
stock warrants, and a royalty based on future earnings and new subscribers of
the acquired company. Mobile Devices was subsequently renamed and
reorganized as Data Jack, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Data Jack”).
Overview
WQN was
formed as a Texas corporation in June 2007, when it acquired an operating
business that was originally founded in 1996. WQN provides prepaid and postpaid
enhanced telecommunications services with an emphasis on transporting calls that
originate from the United States and Canada and terminate to specific regions of
the world. Customers utilize WQN’s Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) network
to place quality international calls at discounted rates. The voice quality of
WQN’s VoIP calls is nearly the same as an international telephone call carried
over a traditional telephone line. A substantial portion of WQN’s revenue is
derived from the sale of prepaid service to customers calling from the United
States to India. WQN’s products and services are provisioned and sold online via
its websites.
Data Jack
was formed in February 2009, and its revenues prior to the Company’s acquisition
were $96,113. Data Jack specializes in delivering nationwide mobile
3G data coverage to for a competitive fixed monthly price, through a proprietary
USB device connected to any computer with a Windows or Mac operating
system.

Results
of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Same
Period in 2008
Revenues
Our
revenues for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $2,462,060 and
$3,755,916, respectively. Revenues decreased primarily because the retail rates
to India, one of the Company’s primary markets, have been rapidly declining due
to increased competition. This trend is expected to continue, in turn
putting further downward pressure on revenues and margins. Revenues are derived
primarily from our prepaid international calling services and our consumer based
internet telephony services. Inflation has not had a material effect on revenues
during the past two fiscal years.
Cost
of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of
sales was $1,638,895 and $2,412,209 for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively. This resulted in gross profit of $823,164 (33.4%) and
$1,343,707 (35.8%) for the respective 2009 and 2008 periods. The decreased gross
margin in 2009 was due to lowering our effective sales prices on our India
traffic due to competitive market pressures, while our vendor cost reductions
have not kept pace. Our aggregate gross profit decline during the year ended
December 31, 2009 versus the corresponding 2008 period was otherwise due
primarily to our decreased revenues during that period.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses were $2,729,233 and $1,289,300 for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Compensation and consulting expenses increased from
$805,243 to $1,748,645 during these periods due primarily to the $810,000
noncash consulting agreement charge as described in Note I to the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and, to a lesser extent, the iTella, Inc.
consulting agreement entered into in 2009, as described in Note G to the
Company’s consolidated financial statements. General and administrative
(“G&A”) expenses increased from $425,622 in 2008 to $890,832 in 2009,
primarily due to increased legal and audit fees associated with the Share
Exchange Agreement and becoming a publicly reporting company, and generally
increased advertising, rent and travel expenses.
Net
Income (Loss)
The
revenue and gross margin decreases coupled with the operating expense increases
noted above, combined to result in a net loss of $1,931,897, compared to net
income of $28,025, in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash and
cash equivalents were $94,003 at December 31, 2009. Our net cash used in
operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $752,551, due
primarily to our cash-based net loss during this period, partially offset by
increases in our accounts payable, advances from a former shareholder, and
unearned revenue. Cash was used primarily to purchase the Domain Names and
network equipment during this period. Our primary source of funding, as needed,
has been through advances from a former shareholder under an unsecured revolving
non-interest bearing promissory note payable with a maximum amount of
$1,000,000, and sales of common stock and a convertible note for cash. Advances
under this unsecured promissory note totaled $758,781 at December 31,
2009.
Our accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses and
negative cash flows from operations since its Share Exchange Agreement described
in Note A above, has incurred a retained earnings deficit of $1,930,012 through
December 31, 2009, and has been dependent on issuances of debt and equity
instruments to fund its operations. The Company intends to increase its
future profitability and seek new sources or methods of financing or revenue to
pursue its business strategy. However, there can be no certainly that
the Company will be successful in this strategy. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Accordingly, the Company's independent auditors have added
an explanatory paragraph to their opinion on the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, based on substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
15
These consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties. In this regard, Management is proposing to raise any necessary
additional funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock. There
is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional
capital.
On February 27, 2010, the Company
executed a $1,000,000 Senior Secured Promissory Note payable to Gilder Funding
Corp., a company that is a shareholder of the Company and is controlled by Mr.
Warren Gilbert (the “Secured Note”) for cash. The proceeds were used
to repay the $200,000 note payable to Mr. Gilbert referred to in Note H to the
consolidated financial statements, plus accrued interest. Interest on
the Secured Note is payable monthly at 15% per annum beginning April 5, 2010,
with the principal and any unpaid interest due on or before February 27, 2016.
The Secured Note is secured by substantially all of the Company’s
assets.
Capital
Expenditure Commitments
We did
not have any substantial outstanding commitments to purchase capital equipment
at December 31, 2009.
Plan
of Operations
By
adjusting our operations and development to the level of capitalization, we
believe that we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow
requirements. However, if during that period or thereafter, we are not
successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising
sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and
financial condition.
Our
future cash requirements include those associated with maintaining our status as
a reporting entity. We believe that on an annual basis those costs would not
exceed an average of $25,000 per month.
We
presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external
sources of liquidity. Due to our brief operating history and lack of substantial
historical operating profits, our operations have not been a source of
liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to fund our
operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to
sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional
funding.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
application of our accounting policies, which are important to our financial
position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates
on the part of management. These estimates bear the risk of change due to the
inherent uncertainty attached to the estimate and are likely to differ to some
extent from actual results. A description of our critical accounting policies
follows:
1.
|
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company tests its
intangible asset (goodwill) for impairment at least annually by comparing
the fair value of this asset to its carrying value. If in the future the
carrying value of our goodwill exceeds its fair value, the
Company will recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to
that excess. For purposes of these tests, the excess of the fair value of
the Company over the amounts assigned to its identified assets and
liabilities is the implied fair value of its
goodwill.
|
2.
|
Our
revenues are primarily derived from fees charged to terminate voice
services over the Company's network and from related monthly recurring
charges. Variable revenue is earned based on the number of minutes during
a call and is recognized upon completion of a call. Revenue for each
customer is calculated from information received through the Company's
network switches. The Company tracks the information received from the
switch and analyzes the call detail records and applies the respective
revenue rate for each call. Fixed revenue is earned from monthly recurring
services provided to customers that are fixed and recurring in nature, and
are connected for a specified period of time. Revenues are recognized as
the services are provided and continue until the expiration of the
contract or until cancellation of the service by the customer. Cash fees
received prior to call completion are recorded on the Company’s balance
sheet as unearned revenue.

ITEM
9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15(b)
under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2009, our management conducted an
evaluation with the participation of our President who also serves as our
principal financial and accounting officer (the “Certifying Officer”) regarding
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
Our management, with the participation of the Certifying Officer, also conducted
an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009.
A significant deficiency is a control
deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects a
company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external
financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement
of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential
will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a significant
deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more
than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected, as of
December 31, 2009. Our President, who is our sole executive officer,
is not a financial or accounting professional, and we do not have a chief
financial officer or sufficient accounting staff. Until we are able
to engage a qualified financial officer, and/or accounting staff, we may
continue to experience material weaknesses in our disclosure controls that may
continue to adversely affect our ability to timely file our quarterly and annual
reports.
Based on this evaluation and in
accordance with the requirements of Auditing Standard No. 2 of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, our Certifying Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31,
2009.
Our management, including the
Certifying Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures
will prevent all errors and all improper conduct. A control system, no matter
how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, a design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of improper
conduct, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments and decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
persons, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of any
system of controls is also based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the
inherent limitations and a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
17
Our management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and
procedures that:
·
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorization of our management and
directors; and
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Our management, including the
Certifying Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation and
in accordance with the requirements of Auditing Standard No. 2 of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Certifying Officer concluded that
we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009 based on the criteria in the Internal Control -
Integrated Framework. Until we are able to engage a qualified financial officer,
and/or accounting staff, we may continue to be unable to maintain effective
internal control over our financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an
attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding
internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject
to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to
temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the
Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of
such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

Currently,
our directors are not compensated for their services (see Robert Picow’s
compensation in Item 11. Executive Compensation for his services as an employee
beginning January 1, 2010), although their expenses in attending meetings are
reimbursed. Officers are elected by the Board of Directors and serve until their
successors are appointed by the Board of Directors. Diversity is not a formal
consideration in determining Board member nominations. The Board has chosen to
separate the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions in order to enhance
the independence of the Board and management. There was one Board meeting by
telephone on January 21, 2010, and several actions by written
consent.
Biographical
resumes of each officer and director are set forth below.

19
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our
common stock to file with the SEC reports of their ownership and changes in
ownership of our securities. Officers, directors and greater than 10%
shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) reports they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a
review of the copies of such reports and written representations that no other
reports were required, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our
officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders were satisfied during the
year ended December 31, 2009.
Board
Committees
The
Company does not maintain a separately-designated, standing audit committee,
compensation committee, or nominating committee, and the Board performs these
functions. Due to the Company’s relatively small size, the Board has determined
that it is not necessary to have a separately-designated, standing nominating
committee or procedures for submitting shareholder nominations. The Board has
not established separately-designated, standing audit committee or compensation
committee for similar reasons. Eventually, the Board will review the
advisability of establishing audit, compensation and nominating committees
composed primarily of independent directors to perform the functions normally
performed by such groups.
Code
of Ethics
Due to
its relatively small size, the Company has not yet adopted a comprehensive
written code of ethics that applies to the principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or
person performing similar functions. It is generally the Company’s policy that
its operations are to be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations and with high ethical standards. This policy applies to all
employees and others working on behalf of Quamtel wherever located.

accrued expenses at December 31, 2009. Prior to closing the Restated Consulting
Services Agreement, the Company did not have expertise in the management and
financing of a public company, and required the services of iTella, Inc. as
outlined in the Restated Consulting Services Agreement. The Restated Consulting
Services Agreement is not cancellable by either party in advance of its
contractual term, except under a defined change in control.
On
August 20, 2009, the Company also executed a one-year consulting agreement
with consultant Warren Gilbert, whereby Mr. Gilbert will provide advice and
counsel regarding the Company’s financial management and strategic
opportunities. As compensation, Mr. Gilbert was issued 300,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock, which was subsequently registered in a registration
statement on Form S-8 filed on November 9, 2009.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
From time
to time, Steven Ivester, the Company’s former sole shareholder and currently a
consultant to the Company through a Consulting Services Agreement with iTella,
Inc., (more fully described in Note G to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements) has made personal advances to the Company. These advances
under a revolving unsecured promissory note with a maximum amount of $1,000,000,
are repayable upon demand, and are non-interest bearing. Such advances amounted
to $758,781 and $10,575 at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
On December 15, 2009, the Company
issued an unsecured $200,000 promissory note payable (the “Note”) to Warren
Gilbert (the “Holder”) for cash. The Note bears interest at 18% per
year, and unpaid principal and interest is repayable in full on June 15, 2010.
The Holder will be paid $40 toward the Note for each Data Jack unit sold, plus a
$5.00 spiff (in addition to interest) on each Data Jack unit sold up to 5,000
units.
On
August 20, 2009, the Company issued and sold $300,000 in principal amount
of an unsecured convertible note to Warren Gilbert, receiving net proceeds of
$300,000. This note bore interest at 18% and was subsequently converted into
115,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Mr. Gilbert also received six-year
warrants to purchase 54,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $2.70 per
share.
On
August 20, 2009, the Company also executed a one-year consulting agreement
with Mr. Gilbert, who is also the president of Gilder Funding Corp., a
shareholder of the Company, whereby he will provide advice and counsel regarding
the Company’s financial management and strategic opportunities. As compensation,
Mr. Gilbert was issued 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were
registered in a registration statement on Form S-8 on November 9,
2009.
On
February 27, 2010, the Company executed a $1,000,000 Senior Secured Promissory
Note payable to Gilder Funding Corp, a company that is a shareholder of the
Company and is controlled by Mr. Warren Gilbert (the “Secured Note”) for
cash. The proceeds were used to repay the $200,000 note payable to
Mr. Gilbert referred to in Note H to the consolidated financial statements, plus
accrued interest. Interest on the Secured Note is payable monthly at
15% per annum beginning April 5, 2010, with the principal and any unpaid
interest due on or before February 27, 2016. The Secured Note is secured by
substantially all of the Company’s assets.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Quamtel,
Inc.
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quamtel, Inc. as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In
our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quamtel, Inc. as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note D to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company has operating and liquidity concerns, has
incurred net losses approximating $1,900,000 as of December 31, 2009. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In this
regard, Management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds through
loans and additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the
Company will be successful in raising additional capital.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
A - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Quamtel, Inc., formerly known as Atomic
Guppy, Inc., XTX Energy, Inc. and Glen Manor Resources Inc., (the “Company”) was
incorporated on November 16, 1999 under the laws of the State of
Nevada. Prior to the closing of the share exchange agreement
described below, the Company was a “shell” corporation as that term is defined
in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, as well as
SEC Release Number 33-8407.
On
January 13, 2009, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement (the
“Share Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the shareholders of WQN, Inc.
were entitled to receive a total of 15,000,000 post-split shares of the
Company’s common stock. All conditions for closing were satisfied or waived, and
the transaction closed on July 28, 2009. As a result of the
Exchange, the shareholders of WQN, Inc. owned approximately 91% of the
outstanding Common Stock of Quamtel. In conjunction with closing the Share
Exchange Agreement, certain outstanding obligations of Quamtel including
officers and director’s compensation, notes and amounts payable to officers and
directors and third party loans outstanding, were exchanged for 1,275,000
post-split shares of Quamtel’s common stock.
As a
result of the Share Exchange Agreement, WQN, Inc. became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Quamtel, through which its operations are now conducted. On
September 8, 2009, Quamtel filed an amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation concluding a one-for-ten reverse split of its common stock, and
increasing its authorized stock to 200,000,000 common shares and 50,000,000
preferred shares.
The Share
Exchange Agreement has been accounted for as a reverse merger, and as such the
historical financial statements of WQN, Inc. are being presented herein as those
of the Company. Also, the capital structure of the Company for all periods
presented herein is different from that appearing in the historical financial
statements of the Company due to the recapitalization accounting.
On
December 9, 2009, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding membership interests of Mobile Internet Devices, LLC, a
Florida limited liability (“Mobile Devices”), for a combination of common stock,
stock warrants, and a royalty based on future earnings and new subscribers of
the acquired company. Mobile Devices was subsequently renamed and
reorganized as Data Jack, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Data Jack”).
NOTE B
– SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quamtel,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Data Jack, Inc. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The
Company makes operating decisions, assesses performance and manages the business
as one reportable segment.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, in
banks, including amounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit
and other highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less
at the date of purchase, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash overdraft
positions may occur from time to time due to the timing of making bank deposits
and releasing checks, in accordance with the Company's cash management
policies.
F-7
QUAMTEL, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from
outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts
based on its assessment of the current status of the individual receivables and
after using reasonable collection efforts. The allowance for doubtful accounts
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was zero.
Prepaid
Expenses and Deposits
A $300,000 cash payment was made in
December 2009 for a planned inventory purchase. The inventory was
received in January 2010 but was not as ordered. Therefore it was
returned for a cash refund. The $300,000 paid was included in prepaid
expenses and deposits in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
2009.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. If it
is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be
realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the
year by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The
calculation of fully diluted earnings per share assumes the dilutive effect of
all potential outstanding common shares attributable to outstanding options,
warrants, and convertible notes.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes
payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of
these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current
market conditions.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company follows the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which
provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in
financial statements. SAB 104 states that revenue is realized or
realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are
met: persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, services have
been rendered, the seller's price to
the buyer
is fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues
are primarily derived from fees charged to terminate voice services over the
Company's network and from related monthly recurring charges. Variable revenue
is earned based on the number of minutes during a call and is recognized upon
completion of a call. Revenue from each customer is calculated from information
received through the Company's network switches. The Company tracks the
information received from the switch and analyzes the call detail records and
applies the respective revenue rate for each call. Fixed revenue is earned from
monthly recurring services provided to customers that are fixed and recurring in
nature, and are connected for a specified period of time. Revenues are
recognized as the services are provided and continue until the expiration of the
contract or until cancellation of the service by the customer. Cash fees
received prior to call completion are recorded on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet as unearned revenue. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company
recorded unearned revenue of $445,347 and $280,636, respectively.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets using the straight line method. The useful
lives of assets range from three to five years. The Company reviews the
recoverability of its property and equipment when events or changes in
circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset group may
not be recoverable.
F-8
QUAMTEL,
INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Goodwill
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company does not amortize
its intangible asset (goodwill), but instead tests its goodwill for impairment
at least annually by comparing the fair value of this asset to its carrying
value. If in the future the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value,
the Company will recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to that
excess. For purposes of these tests, the excess of the fair value of the Company
over the amounts assigned to its identified assets and liabilities is the
implied fair value of its goodwill.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Compensation
costs related to share-based payment transactions are recognized in the
statement of operations. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation
cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or
liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured
each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the
period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
Accounting
Standards Updates
In
June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its final
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting
Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”.
SFAS No. 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the
Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and
interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under
authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative
accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify
user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing
U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a
consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting
guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1,
2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the Board will not issue new standards
in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force
Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). The FASB
will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates will
serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the
guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to
Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall”. The update
provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity
is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided
for in this update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
In
October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition
(Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”, which addresses the
accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account
for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined
unit. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
F-9
QUAMTEL, INC.
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In
January 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820): - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.
ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies and improves disclosure requirements related to
fair value measurements and disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications
are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2009, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlement in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal
years. The amendments in this Update are effective for interim and annual
periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a
retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
Other
ASUs not effective until after December 31, 2009 are not expected to have a
significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
NOTE
C - ACQUISITION
On
December 9, 2009, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding membership interests of Mobile Internet Devices, LLC, a
Florida limited liability (“Mobile Devices”), for a combination of common stock,
stock warrants, and a royalty based on future earnings and new subscribers of
the acquired company. Mobile Devices was subsequently renamed and
reorganized as Data Jack, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Data Jack”). The purchase
price consisted of the following:
(1)
|
1,500,000
shares of Quamtel’s restricted common
stock;
|
(2)
|
additional
shares of Quamtel’s common stock on June 30, 2011, such that the
original grant of 1,500,000 shares plus the additional shares shall have a
market value of at least $1,500,000, as determined by the average closing
prices of the Quamtel’s common stock during the month of
June 2011;
|
(3)
|
at
such time as the number of active subscribers for the services of the
Company being conveyed to Quamtel shall reach 100,000 subscribers, Quamtel
shall issue additional shares of its common stock to Sellers such that the
total shares issued to Sellers under (1) above and this section shall be
equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the
Purchaser;
|
(4)
|
five-year
cashless stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Quamtel’s
restricted common stock, at an exercise price of
$2.68;
|
(5)
|
12%
of the net profit of Data Jack for as long as the subsidiary is owned by
Quamtel, which amount shall include the business being acquired and all
future enhanced products and services developed in the company platform,
including but not limited to other SIM enhanced products;
and
|
(6)
|
$15.00
of each activation fee for each new Data Jack customer plus 50% of the
activation fee in excess of $62.50 per customer, which amounts are
refundable by Sellers if the customer terminates service prior to the time
required by Data Jack’s network
provider.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The goodwill recorded for the
acquisition of Data Jack represents the fair market value of liabilities as of
the acquisition date, plus $1,875,000, which represents the value of the
Company's common stock issued pursuant to the acquisition. The
warrants issued had nominal value at the acquisition date.
NOTE
D - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the
Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses and
negative cash flows from operations since its Share Exchange Agreement described
in Note A above, has incurred a retained earnings deficit of $1,930,012 through
December 31, 2009, and has been dependent on issuances of debt and equity
instruments to fund its operations. The Company intends to increase its
future profitability and seek new sources or methods of financing or revenue to
pursue its business strategy. By adjusting our operations and
development to the level of capitalization, we believe that we have sufficient
capital resources to meet projected cash flow requirements. However, if during
that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient
liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms
acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Accordingly, the Company's independent
auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their opinion on the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, based on
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

years related to the domain names is projected to be $37,350 per year.
The
goodwill amounts of $367,589 and $1,919,957 were recorded primarily in
connection with the WQN, Inc. acquisition in June, 2007, and the Data Jack
acquisition in December, 2009, respectively.
In
August 2009, the Company issued 25,000 of its common shares, valued at
$67,500, to acquire an option to purchase the URL 800.com (the “800 Domain
Name”). Steven Ivester, an agent of iTella, Inc., (“Assignor”), subsequently
acquired the 800 Domain Name in a Bankruptcy Court auction for the sum of
$250,000. The acquisition was made for the benefit of the Company. Effective
September 30, 2009, in return for the Company reimbursing to Assignor his
$250,000 cost, Assignor assigned to the Company all right, title and interest in
and to the 800 Domain Name. The total cost of the 800 Domain Name was $317,500
which is less than its estimated fair value, and is being amortized over a
period of 10 years.
In December 2009, the Company
purchased the URL DataJack.com (the "DataJack Domain Name”) for a cash payment
of $30,000, plus a commitment to issue 10,000 of the Company’s common shares
which were valued at $26,000. The shares have not yet been issued,
and the liability is reflected as a stock-based payable on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009. The total cost of
the DataJack Domain Name was $56,000 which is less than its estimated fair
value, and is being amortized over a period of 10 years.
NOTE
G – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From time
to time, Steven Ivester, the Company’s former sole shareholder and currently a
consultant to the Company through a Consulting Services Agreement with iTella,
Inc., has made personal advances to the Company. These advances under a
revolving promissory note are repayable upon demand, are unsecured, and are
non-interest bearing. Such advances amounted to $785,781 and $10,575 at
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. See Note F for the 800 Domain
Name transaction involving Mr. Ivester.
