PART I


ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

Juniper Group, Inc. (“Juniper”) is a holding company. The terms “we”, “our”, “us”, “the Company” and “management” as used herein refers to Juniper Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1997 and conduct our business through indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.   Our wireless infrastructure services operations are conducted primarily through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Juniper Services, Inc. (“Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Juniper Entertainment, Inc. Our wireless infrastructure services operations provide broadband connectivity services on a national basis for wireless telecommunication networks.  In prior years we were also active in film distribution services. Although we have not fully discontinued this line of business, we are not devoting any Company resources in this area and will only engage in the sale or exploitation of film licenses if and when opportunities are available.
 
 
WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES

Our wireless infrastructure services operating subsidiaries provide wireless infrastructure services on a national basis by providing broadband connectivity services for wireless telecommunication networks. Our focus in 2010 has been on the building and investing in our wireless infrastructure service business after certain alleged actions by Michael Brown, Donald Johnson, William Furdock, Shanna Smith, Timothy Downs and Thomas Nyiri former disloyal employees and a consultant for breaches of various contractual and fiduciary duties owed to the Company, resulting in a reduction in construction activity by major customers. See Item 3 – Legal Proceedings. The Company has secured a temporary restraining order prohibiting these former employees and consultant from soliciting current employees of the subsidiaries or using or disclosing the subsidiaries’ proprietary information pending a preliminary injunction hearing. Among other things the complaint against alleges that the former employees and consultant acted in concert and conspired to act to misappropriate the business, good will, employees and proprietary information of the Company and to intentionally and maliciously damage the business of the Company. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages arising out of the actions of the former employees and consultant.

Our intention is to be able to support the increased demand in the deployment of wireless/tower system services with leading wireless telecommunication companies in providing them with maintenance and upgrading of wireless telecommunication network sites, site acquisitions, site surveys, co-location facilitation, tower construction and antenna installation to tower system integration, hardware and software installations.

General Description of Wireless Telecommunication Industry and Plan of Operations
 
We believe that the wireless telecommunication companies are increasingly looking to reposition themselves into an all-in-one service provider bundling and utilizing the latest available technologies including the application of new technology such as third generation or fourth generation (“3G” or “4G”), onto existing networks, and the modification of existing networks. These bundled services can include email, voice, messaging services, WiFi, WiMax, internet access, interactive games, music on demand and video on demand.
 
There are over 302 million wireless subscriber connections in the Unites States, an increase of almost ten times the number of wireless subscriber connections in 1995 and a 146% increase from 2005, according to CTIA Advocacy, the International Association for the Wireless Telecommunications Industry.  Text messaging has been one of the primary increases over the past several years, with over 187 billion monthly text messages in the United States, an increase of almost 20 times the number of text messages in 2005. Cell sites have increased from approximately 23,000 in 1995 to approximately 184,000 cell sites in 2005 to approximately 253,000 in 2010, an increase of almost 40% in the last five years.

Rising wireless telecommunications penetration is becoming affordable and is contributing to e-commerce growth. The implications and opportunities for online advertising and marketing are extensive. Wireless customers want internet access that is “always on” unlike dial-up connections, and has high-speed performance. The demand for internet access and data services is increasing due to the growth in wireless telephone usage through the adoption of new technologies, such as those incorporated in  “3G” and  “4G”, to provide high speed enhanced capabilities. These new enhanced data capabilities have also increased the average per-customer and per-install revenues derived from wireless telecommunication customers. The result creates a driving need for adoption of new technologies. In addition, the build out of local municipal WiFi services has created a shortage of high quality infrastructure service contractors in the industry.
 
Leading providers of wireless high-speed access to the Internet continue to increase their investments in technology in order to offer upgrades based on “3G” and “4G”, WiMax, WiFi and other LTE technologies, as well as new services to their existing customers and to the millions of new users.  We believe that the investment required in the implementation of service expansions will continue to motivate service providers to focus on their core competencies and outsource many aspects of their business, including construction, maintenance, and upgrading of wireless telecommunication sites, infrastructure build-out, which is the market for our services.

We believe that this trend for outsourcing in the deployment and support for wireless telecommunication customer services will continue to strengthen as the industry continues to grow. As the economic environment continues to improve, we believe that our prospects for the expansion of its wireless telecommunication business are good and an increase in the demand for the deployment and maintenance service of tower/antenna system services are good for 2011. We believe that infrastructure build-out, technology introduction, new applications and deployment, integration and support will continue to be outsourced to qualified service providers.

The Company’s focus is to support the revenues and earnings growth of its operations by increasing its customer base and the array of services and broaden its market share to enhance revenue performance and gross profit margins.
 
Services’ opportunity to exploit the new wireless telecommunication infrastructure integration demand for its services and to take advantage of future wireless network build outs are limited by the following:

(i)  Financially supporting the agreements entered into, the continued growth of the business and technician recruitment, training and payroll, as well as being able to finance the operating cash requirements from expansion of its high quality technician services to the providers in order to meet the demand for its services. This will require additional financing on a timely basis.
 
(ii)  Maximize the capital deployed for potential new services, by evaluating opportunities for services to customer based on capital investment requirements, the potential gross profit margin, and, most importantly, the customer’s past payment practices.

 (iii) Accelerating collections thereby reducing outstanding receivables and providing improved cash flow.

The Company has devoted all of its financial resources and time in growing and reorganizing its operational staff with a business model segregated in sales and operational divisions.  The operational divisions are in turn separated by market and each market is run by a Construction Project Manager.    In implementing such a model, it allows management to react immediately to our customer needs.  In 2011 we will review potential acquisition candidates in compatible business that can be assimilated into our organization and provide the company with larger geographical footprint.

COMPETITION
 
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, requiring substantial resources and skilled and experienced personnel. We compete with other companies in most of our geographic markets in which we operate, and several of our competitors are larger companies with greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry into the industries in which we operate and, as a result, any organization that has adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become a competitor. We believe that in 2011 a significant amount of revenue will be derived from direct bidding for project work, and price will often be an important factor in the award of such business and agreements.
 
Accordingly, we could be under bid by our competitors in an effort by them to procure the business. We believe that, as demand for services increases, customers will increasingly consider other factors in choosing a service provider, including:  technical expertise, financial and operational resources, nationwide presence, industry reputation and dependability. Management believes that we will benefit when these factors are considered. There can no assurances, however, that our competitors will not develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services that are superior in both price and quality to our services, or that we will be able to maintain or enhance its competitive position.
 
Services for wireless telecommunication infrastructure deployment have been provided by a mix of in-house service organizations and outsourced support providers. Most wireless telecommunication providers use a mix of both as sources to satisfy their customer requirements. Most contracted maintenance upgrading of wireless telecommunication services still remain in the hands of small independent contractors. We continue to believe that the present state of this fragmented industry will continue to change as smaller companies become acquired by larger companies.
 
 
- 4 -

 
We believe that the opportunity continues for significant growth in this industry. However, many of our current and potential competitors may have substantial competitive advantages including:

 
·
longer operating histories;
 
·
significantly greater financial resources;
 
·
more technical and marketing resources;
 
·
greater brand name recognition; and
 
·
a larger customer base.
 
These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements and to devote greater resources to develop, promote and sell their services than we can. Despite our good performance versus our competitors to date, there is no assurance that our limited financial resources will allow us to take full advantage of these successes, nor that we will be able to finance major growth or acquisition opportunities.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS

In 2010, one customer, ClearWire US LLC, accounted for 93% of our total revenues with the balance coming from six additional customers.  At December 31, 2010, ClearWire accounted for 86% of our accounts receivable. There can be no assurance given that ClearWire will continue as our largest customer. In March 2011, according to Wireless Estimator, ClearWire reported that it “may not have enough funding to keep operating its business”.  Since the issuance of the carrier’s “going concern” notice, this customer reported hopes of announcing a new round of funding. In the meantime, they have thousands of sites in the planning and development stage for which they intend to suspend zoning and permitting until additional funding becomes available.  In addition they reported that they are cutting 15% of their workforce. On March 10, 2011 ClearWire announced that Bill Morrow, its CEO, resigned as part of a management shake-up of the high-speed wireless service provider.

EMPLOYEES

We now have 7 full time employees, including Vlado P. Hreljanovic, our principal executive officer, and 2 part-time employees.  During 2010 we utilized the services of an independent staffing agency to provide the larger part of our labor force for our wireless infrastructure construction and maintenance operations.  This allowed us to manage the demand on our workflow and maintain control on our operational labor costs.  During the year the aggregated field personnel fluctuated from 25 to 50 members. As of the beginning of September the Company is no longer utilizing the staffing agency. Management believes that its relationship with its employees is generally satisfactory.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

In connection with the installation of wiring in underground environments, the communications industry may in the future be subject to environmental regulations by various governmental authorities.  Such regulations could affect the manner in which we perform services.  However, we are not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations that may have a material effect on the normal operations of our business.  There also are no relevant environmental laws that require compliance by us that may have a material effect on the normal operations of the business.  Although we are not directly subject to any federal, state or FCC regulations, the wireless telecommunication companies must meet certain government and federal communication requirements.

SEASONABILITY

The provision of services for wireless infrastructure deployment is affected by adverse weather conditions and the spending patterns of our customers, exposing us to variable quarterly results. Inclement weather may lower the demand for our services in the winter months, as well as other times of the year. Furthermore, the weather can delay the completion of projects already started in addition to delaying the commission of new projects. Therefore, we cannot predict that the financial results for any particular quarter will be the same for any other quarter.
 
Natural catastrophes such as hurricanes and tornadoes in the United States could also have a negative impact on the economy overall and on our ability to perform outdoor services in affected regions or utilize equipment and crew stationed in those regions, which in turn could significantly impact the results of any one or more reporting periods. However, these natural catastrophes historically have generated additional revenue subsequent to the event.

INFLATION
 
We believe that inflation has generally not had a material impact on our operations.

FILM DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Our film distribution services had been conducted through Juniper Pictures, Inc. (“Pictures”) which  historically had been engaged in acquiring film rights from independent producers and distributing these rights to domestic and international territories on behalf of the producers to various media (i.e. DVD, satellite, home video, pay-per view, pay television, television, and independent syndicated television stations).

At the end of 2009, we evaluated our film library, taking into account revenues generated in 2009, resources available to us to continue to pursue opportunities in this area and the resources necessary to maintain our rights against international piracy and copyright infringement.  Although we have not fully discontinued this line of business we determined that we would not aggressively devote resources of the Company in this area and will only engage in the sale or exploitation of film licenses if and when opportunities are available. As a result, at December 31, 2009 management determined that the remaining film licenses should be fully written off. The Company took a charge of approximately $124,000 in 2009 as impairment to film licenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors:

Our business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which are described below. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not described or not known to management of the Company may also impair business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

In their report dated April 14, 2011 Liebman Goldberg & Hymowitz LLP., stated that our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations. We have experienced operating losses and our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to maintain and enhance our profitability.

WE HAVE ACCUMULATED LOSSES AND ARE NOT CURRENTLY PROFITABLE.

We have incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $62.6 million as of December 31, 2010 and are currently experiencing negative cash flow. We expect to continue to experience negative cash flow and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to make significant expenditures for sales and marketing, infrastructure development and general and administrative functions. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses exceed expectations, we may experience reduced profitability. A large portion of our annual income (loss) is attributable to the adjustment of the derivative liability associated with the fair market value of the embedded derivatives which is based on the market price of our Common Stock and not as a result of operations.

IF WE ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON TO REPAY OUR OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEPLETE OUR WORKING CAPITAL, IF AVAILABLE, OR RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. OUR FAILURE TO REPAY THE CALLABLE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES, IF REQUIRED, COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION AGAINST US, WHICH COULD REQUIRE THE SALE OF SUBSTANTIAL ALL OF OUR ASSETS.

During the period from December 28, 2005 through December 31, 2010 the Company entered into a series of financing arrangements in exchange for cash proceeds, goods and services and liabilities.  At December 31, 2010 the principal amount of convertible debentures outstanding was approximately $6.0 million.  In addition, in connection with certain of these arrangements the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,230 shares of our Common Stock.

We have received Notices of Default relating to our Callable Secured Convertible Notes and certain 2009 Notes.  A default on these debt obligations could result in foreclosure on all of our assets. See Item 3 – Legal Proceedings.

The convertible debentures are due and payable, with interest, at various dates though 2013, unless sooner converted into shares of our Common Stock. In addition, any event of default such as our failure to repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of Common Stock upon receipt of a notice of conversion from  the holder, our failure to timely file a registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective, breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the Securities Purchase Agreement or related convertible note, the assignment or appointment of a receiver to control a substantial part of our property or business, the filing of a money judgment, writ or similar process against us in excess of $50,000, the commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against us and the delisting of our Common Stock could require the early repayment of the convertible debentures, including a default interest rate of 15% on the outstanding principal balance of the notes if the default is not cured within the specified grace period.  At the end of the last fiscal quarter the amount to repay the convertible debentures would cost an aggregate of approximately $3.5 million. We anticipate that the full amount of the convertible debentures will be converted into shares of our Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures. If we are required to repay the convertible debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when required, the note holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations.

On December 18, 2009, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York Index No. 603782/09, New Millennium Capital Partners III, LLC; ASW Partners, LLC; ASW Offshore II, Ltd.; ASW Qualified Partners II, LLC; ASW Master Fund II, Ltd.;  filed an action entitled New Millennium, et. al. versus Juniper Group, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York. The complaint alleges breach of the terms of certain convertible debentures and seeks equitable relief and monetary damages of $7.46 million. Juniper has denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted counterclaims.  A motion for preliminary injunctive relief is pending. While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims.  We currently do not have the funds to repay these Notes and if we are unsuccessful in defending their claims, New Millennium et. al. could foreclose on our assets. New Millennium et. al. is the note holder of our Callable Secured Convertible Notes with outstanding principal at December 31, 2010 of approximately $2.4 million.

 On March 19, 2010, the Company received a “Notice of Default and Demand for Payment” from JMJ Financial (“JMJ”).  On August 6, 2010 Justin Keener d/b/a JMJ Financial filed an action entitled Justin Keener d/b/a JMJ Financial versus Juniper Group, Inc. in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit - Dade County Florida, Case No. 10-42729-CA31. The complaint alleges breach of the terms of a convertible debenture and seeks damages in the amount of approximately $234,000.   Juniper and Vlado P. Hreljanovic have denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted affirmative defenses. While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims.

WE COULD HAVE UNFAVORABLE WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIM EXPERIENCES.

If a customer does not pay us, or if the costs of benefits we provide to worksite employees, exceed the fees a client pays us, our ultimate liability for worksite employee’s payroll and benefits costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
 OUR COMMON STOCK TRADES IN A LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET, ON THE OTCQB; AND IN ADDITION THERE ARE VARIOUS INDUSTRY FACTORS, WHICH COULD CAUSE INVESTORS TO FACE POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF SHARE PRICE.

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol JUNP.QB.  As of April 14, 2011 there were 3,048,279,219 shares of common stock outstanding, approximately all were tradable without restriction under the Securities Act.

Various industry factors could cause volatility in the market price of our shares. Factors such as, but not limited to, technological innovations, new products, acquisitions, consolidations or strategic alliances entered into by us or our competitors, government regulatory action, patent or proprietary rights developments, and market conditions for penny stocks in general could have a material effect on the liquidity of our Common Stock and volatility of our stock price.

MANY OF THE INDUSTRIES WE SERVE ARE SUBJECT TO CONSOLIDATION AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL AND REGULATORY CHANGE, AND OUR INABILITY OR FAILURE TO ADJUST TO OUR CUSTOMERS’ CHANGING NEEDS COULD REDUCE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES.

We derive, and anticipate that we will continue to derive, a substantial portion of our revenues from customers in the wireless telecommunications industry. The wireless telecommunications industry is subject to rapid changes in technology and governmental regulation. Changes in technology may reduce the demand for the services we provide. New or developing technologies could displace the wireless systems used for the transmission of voice, video and data, and improvements in existing technology may allow communications providers to significantly improve their networks without physically upgrading them. Additionally, the communications industry has been characterized by a high level of consolidation that may result in the loss of one or more of our major customers.   Our success depends also on the continued trend by our customers to outsource their needs. If this trend does not continue or if our customers elect to perform the deployment services themselves, our operating results may decline.
 
For example, in March 2011 AT&T announced that it had agreed to buy T-Mobile USA. The transaction, one of the largest since the onset of the financial crisis, is expected to start a fierce battle in Washington as regulators scrutinize the effect of the deal on competition and consumers. The deal would leave just three major cellular companies in the country: AT&T, Verizon and the much smaller Sprint Nextel.

THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE WHICH MAY REDUCE OUR MARKET SHARE AND HARM OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

The telecommunications industry is highly fragmented, and we compete with other companies in most of the markets in which we operate, ranging from small independent firms servicing local markets to larger firms servicing regional and national markets. We also face competition from existing or prospective customers that employ in-house personnel to perform some of the same types of services we provide. There are relatively few barriers to entry into the industry in which we operate and, as a result, any organization that has adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise and skilled personnel may become a competitor.
 
MOST OF OUR CONTRACTS DO NOT OBLIGATE OUR CUSTOMERS TO UNDERTAKE ANY WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS OR OTHER WORK WITH US.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived pursuant to master service agreements. Under these master service agreements, we contract to provide customers with individual project services, through purchase orders, within defined geographic areas on a fixed fee basis. Under these agreements, our customers have no obligation to undertake any infrastructure projects or other work with us. A significant decline in the projects customers assign to us under these master service agreements could result in a decline in our revenue, profitability and liquidity.  In addition, certain of our customers are themselves construction companies and general contractors employed by providers of wireless telecommunication services.  As a result, our exposure due to the loss of a particular customer may be greater on an indirect basis than described herein.
 
WE MAY NOT ACCURATELY ESTIMATE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER CONTRACTS WHICH COULD IMPAIR OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

A substantial portion of our revenues in 2010 and 2009 were derived from work performed pursuant to master service agreements. Under these contracts, the customer sets the price of our services on a per unit or aggregate basis and assume the risk that the costs associated with our performance may be greater than we anticipated.

Our profitability is therefore dependent upon our ability to accurately estimate the costs associated with our services. These costs may be affected by a variety of factors, such as lower than anticipated productivity, conditions at the work sites differing materially from what was anticipated at the time we bid on the contract and higher costs of materials and labor. Certain agreements or projects could have lower margins than anticipated or losses if actual costs for our contracts exceed our estimates, which could reduce our profitability and liquidity.
 
THE CONCENTRATION OF OUR BUSINESS AMONG LARGE CUSTOMERS COULD INCREASE CREDIT RISKS.

The concentration of a portion of our business among a number of large customers increases our potential credit risks. One or more of these customers could delay payments or default on credit extended to them. Any significant delay in the collection of significant accounts receivable could result in an increased need for us to obtain working capital from other sources, possibly on worse terms than we could have negotiated if we had established such working capital resources prior to such delays or defaults. Any significant default could result in significantly decreased earning and material and adversely affect our businesses financial condition and results of operations. Revenues derived from one major customer accounted for 93.3% of our 2010 total revenues.

THE PROVISION OF SERVICES FOR WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT IS SEASONAL AND IS AFFECTED BY ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE SPENDING PATTERNS OF OUR CUSTOMERS, EXPOSING US TO VARIABLE QUARTERLY RESULTS.

The provision of services for wireless infrastructure services deployment is affected by adverse weather conditions and the spending patterns of our customers, exposing the Company to variable quarterly results. Inclement weather may lower the demand for our service in the winter months, as well as other times of the year. Furthermore, the weather can delay the completion of projects already started in addition to delaying the commission of new projects. Therefore, we cannot predict that the financial results for any particular quarter will be the same for any other quarter.

Natural catastrophes, such as the hurricanes and snowstorms, could also have a negative impact on the overall economy and on our ability to perform outdoor services in affected regions or utilize equipment and crews stationed in those regions, which in turn could significantly impact the results of any one or more reporting periods.
 
OUR BUSINESS REQUIRES THE DEPLOYMENT OF SERVICE VEHICLES THROUGHOUT THE MARKETS IN WHICH WE PROVIDE SERVICES AND INCREASES IN THE COST OF FUEL COULD REDUCE OUR OPERATING MARGINS.
 
The price of fuel needed to operate  our service vehicles and equipment is unpredictable and fluctuates based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by OPEC and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries, regional production patterns and environmental concerns. Most of our contracts do not allow us to adjust our pricing. Accordingly, any increase in fuel costs could reduce our profitability and liquidity.

WE MAY CHOOSE, OR BE REQUIRED, TO PAY OUR SUBCONTRACTORS OR STAFFING AGENCIES EVEN IF OUR CUSTOMERS DO NOT PAY, OR DELAY PAYING, US FOR THE RELATED SERVICES.

We may use subcontractors or staffing agencies to perform portions of our services and to manage work flow. In most cases we pay our subcontractors or staffing agencies before our customers pay us for the related services. If we choose, or are required, to pay our subcontractors or staffing agencies for work performed for customers who fail to pay, or delay paying, us for the related work, we could experience a decrease in profitability and liquidity. This creates an enormous strain on our cash flow.
 
OUR CUSTOMERS ARE OFTEN LARGE COMPANIES THAT HAVE SUPERIOR BARGAINING STRENGTH

Most of our customers are large companies that have a greater bargaining position than we do in negotiating contracts due to the potential value to us of obtaining their business and the intense competition we face to obtain that business. This unequal bargaining position could result in our acceptance of less favorable contract terms than we might otherwise accept, reduced operating margins and material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

THE DEVELOPMENT AND INSTALLATION OF WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES MAY REQUIRE UNDERGROUND WORK, WHICH REQUIRES COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES.

Some of the work we perform is in underground environments. If the field location maps supplied to us are not accurate, or if objects are present in the soil that are not indicated on the field location maps, our underground work could strike objects in the soil containing pollutants and result in a rupture and discharge of pollutants. In such a case, we may be liable for fines and damages.

In addition, new environmental laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or leaks, or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur significant costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could negatively impact our profitability and liquidity.

OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO HAZARDS THAT COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LIABILITIES AND WEAKEN OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
 
Deployment, construction and maintenance of wireless communication towers undertaken by our employees involve exposure to electrical lines, heavy equipment, mechanical failures and adverse weather conditions. If serious accidents or fatalities occur, we may be restricted from bidding on certain work and certain existing contracts could be terminated. In addition, if our safety record were to deteriorate, our ability to bid on certain work could suffer. The occurrence of accidents in our business could result in significant liabilities or harm our ability to perform under our contracts or enter into new contracts with customers, which could reduce our revenue, profitability and liquidity.

MANY OF OUR WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS CUSTOMERS ARE HIGHLY REGULATED AND THE ADDITION OF NEW REGULATIONS OR CHANGES TO EXISTING REGULATIONS MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THEIR DEMAND FOR OUR SPECIALTY CONTRACTING SERVICES AND THE PROFITABILITY OF THOSE SERVICES.

Many of our wireless telecommunications customers are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC may interpret the application of its regulations to telecommunication companies in a manner that is different than the way such regulations are currently interpreted and may impose additional regulations. If existing or new regulations have an adverse affect on our telecommunications customers and adversely impact the profitability of the services they provide, then demand for our specialty contracting services may be reduced.

THE CURRENT AND CONTINUED GROWTH OF OUR OPERATIONS IS CONTINGENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RECRUIT EMPLOYEES.

In the event we are able to obtain necessary funding, we expect to experience significant growth in the number of employees and the scope of our operations. In particular, we may hire additional sales, marketing and administrative personnel. Additionally, acquisitions could result in an increase in employee headcount and business activity. Such activities could result in increased responsibilities for management. We believe that our ability to increase our customer support capability and to attract, train, and retain qualified technical, sales, marketing, and management personnel, will be a critical factor to our future success.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE STAFFING LEVELS RELATED TO OUR BILLABLE WORKFORCE.

If we maintain or increase billable staffing levels in anticipation of one or more projects and those projects are delayed, reduced or terminated, or otherwise do not materialize, we may underutilize these personnel, which could have material, adverse effects on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

THE COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IS CONSTANTLY GROWING AND EVOLVING. ACCORDINGLY OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO ADDRESS MARKET OPPORTUNITIES.

Our future success depends upon our ability to address potential market opportunities while managing our expenses to match our ability to finance our operations. This need to manage our expenses will place a significant strain on our management and operational resources. If we are unable to manage our expenses effectively, we may be unable to finance our operations. By adjusting our operations and development to the level of capitalization, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. 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 and would prevent us from being able to utilize potential market opportunities.

OUR SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT ON GROWTH IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF WIRLESS NETWORKS AND NEW TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES, AND TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH GROWTH SLOWS, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED.

Telecommunications carriers are constantly re-evaluating their network deployment plans in response to trends in the capital markets, changing perceptions regarding industry growth, the adoption of new wireless technology, increasing pricing competition for subscribers and general economic conditions in the United States.  If the rate of network deployment slows and carriers reduce their capital investment in wireless infrastructure build-outs or fail to expand into new geographic areas, our business may be significantly harmed.  The uncertainty associated with rapidly changing telecommunications technology may also negatively impact the rate of deployment of wireless networks and the demand for our services.  Telecommunications services providers face significant challenges in assessing consumer demand and in acceptance of rapidly changing enhanced telecommunications capabilities.   If telecommunications services providers perceive that the rate of acceptance of the next generation telecommunications product will grow more slowly than previously expected, they may, as a result, slow their development of the next generation technologies.  Moreover, increasing price competition for subscribers could adversely affect the profitability of carriers and limit their resources for network deployment.  Any significant sustained slowdown will further reduce the demand for our services and adversely affect our financial results.

THE DEPARTURE OF KEY PERSONNEL COULD DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS, AND FEW OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL ARE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO STAY WITH US.

We depend on the continued efforts of our officers and senior management. This includes director of operations, director of business development, and construction project managers.  The loss of key personnel or the inability to hire and retain qualified employees could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

THE REQUIREMENTS OF BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY MAY STRAIN OUR RESOURCES AND REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT MANAGEMENT TIME AND ATTENTION.

As a public company we are subject the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of the rules and regulations have increased, and may further increase in the future, our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on our systems and resources.  The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and other periodic reports with respect to our business and financial conditions.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we report on the effectiveness of our disclosures controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting.  As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.  These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified independent members of our Board of Directors and qualified member of our management team.

WE SHALL BE REQUIRED TO SEEK ADDITIONAL MEANS OF FINANCING.
 
During the period from December 28, 2005 through December 31, 2010 the Company entered into a series of financing arrangements in exchange for cash proceeds, goods and services and liabilities.  At December 31, 2010 the principal amount of convertible debentures outstanding was approximately $6.0 million.   In addition, during 2010, the Company issued approximately $1.6 million in principal amounts of convertible debentures in exchange for cash proceeds, current liabilities, goods and services. There can be no assurance that we will generate adequate revenues from operations to finance operations and the failure to generate sufficient operating revenues would have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations and our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future operating and capital requirements will vary based on a number of factors, including the level of sales and marketing activities for our services and products. Accordingly, we may be required to obtain additional private or public financing including debt or equity financing and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available as needed, or, if available, on terms favorable to us. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, existing stockholders may experience a dilution in their ownership. In addition, as a condition to giving additional funds to us, future investors may demand, and may be granted, rights superior to those of existing stockholders.

Furthermore, debt financing, if available, will require payment of interest and may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations on our operating flexibility. Our failure to successfully obtain additional future funding may jeopardize our ability to continue our business and operations.

SERVICES FOR WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICE DEPLOYMENT ARE PROVIDED BY BOTH IN-HOUSE SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND OUTSOURCED SUPPORT PROVIDERS AND MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS ARE LARGER AND HAVE GREATER FINANCIAL AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN WE DO AND THOSE ADVANTAGES COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPETE WITH THEM.

Many of our current and potential competitors may have substantial competitive advantages relative to us, including:

 
·
longer operating histories;
 
·
significantly greater financial resources;

 
·
greater technical and marketing resources;
 
·
greater brand name recognition; and

 
·
a larger existing customer bases.

These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements and to devote greater resources to develop, promote and sell their services than we can.

If we are unable to identify and complete future acquisitions, we may be unable to continue to grow our business.  The Company may not be able to identify and complete potential acquisition candidates.  If we do identify potential acquisition candidates, there is no assurance that we will be able to acquire such candidates on appropriate terms.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS:

THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES UNDERLYING OUR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND THE SALE OF THESE SHARES MAY DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

As of April 14, 2011 we had 10,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized and 3,048,279,219 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and various convertible debentures outstanding or an obligation to issue convertible debentures that may be converted into approximately 51,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock at current market prices. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures may increase if the market price of our stock declines. Subject to Rule 144 (b)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, all of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures and upon exercise of our warrants and options, may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In addition to the foregoing shares, we currently have 25,357 shares of 12% Non-voting Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding, 106,294 shares of Series B Voting Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding, and 300,000 shares of Series C Voting Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding, which are not currently convertible into shares of Common Stock.  If the Series C Voting Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were convertible, based on the current market price, the Series C Voting Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock would be convertible into approximately 9,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.

Our obligation to issue shares of our Common Stock upon conversion of our Convertible Debentures and preferred stock is essentially limitless.  As such we may not have sufficient shares of authorized Common Stock to convert all of the outstanding Convertible Debentures and preferred stock.  This could affect our ability to raise additional funds.

 
- 11 -

 

THE CONTINUOUSLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION PRICE FEATURE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES MAY ENCOURAGE INVESTORS TO MAKE SHORT SALES IN OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

Certain convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our Common Stock at discounts to the trading price of the Common Stock prior to the conversion ranging from 40% to 75%. The significant downward pressure on the price of the Common Stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of Common Stock could encourage short sales by third party investors.

These sales could place further downward pressure on the price of the Common Stock. The selling stockholder could sell Common Stock into the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of notes, warrants and options, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock

THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON CONVERSION OF THE CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES MAY CAUSE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
 
The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the convertible debentures may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion. Although the selling stockholders may not convert their convertible debentures if such conversion or exercise would cause them to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding Common Stock, this restriction does not prevent the selling stockholders from converting some of their holdings, selling those shares and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, the selling stockholders could convert and sell their holdings while never owning more than 4.99% of our Common Stock at any one time. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be issued which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our Common Stock. 
 
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING UNDER THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENTS, WE WILL NEED TO SATISFY CERTAIN CLOSING CONDITIONS AND IF THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED AND WE DO NOT OBTAIN THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE WILL HAVE TO REDUCE STAFF AND CURTAIL OUR OPERATIONS.

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements, if we were able to raise additional financing from another source, we would need to satisfy certain terms and conditions as stipulated in the Securities Purchase Agreements.  In the event that the terms and conditions are not satisfied, we may not be able to obtain additional financing from another source. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing and meeting the terms and conditions.  If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms or if we are unable to meet the terms and conditions in the Securities Purchase Agreements, we may need to reduce staff and curtail our operations.
 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK:
 
WE HAVE HAD TO FILE FOR EXTENSIONS FOR OUR RECENT ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY FILINGS AND IF WE FAIL TO REMAIN CURRENT ON OUR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WE COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE OTCQB WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE ABILITY OF BROKER-DEALERS TO SELL OUR SECURITIES AND THE ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL THEIR SECURITIES IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.
 
Companies trading on the OTCQB, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

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
 
·
that the broker or dealer receives 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 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, about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and 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.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

Our headquarters are located at 20283 State Road, Suite 300, Boca Raton, Florida 33498. Our lease in Boca Raton is on a month to month basis, with current rent of $200 per month.  We also have a subsidiary office at 60 Cutter Mill Road, Suite 611, Great Neck, New York 11021 (consisting of 1,650 square feet of offices), that is subleased for a monthly rent of approximately $5,600. By the terms of the sublease, the rent will be adjusted to match the master lease for the space.  This space is subleased from an entity owned 100% by Mr. Hreljanovic the CEO of the Company.  The sublease for the space is coterminous with the lease and expires on November 30, 2016.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in legal proceedings from time to time. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Since the filing of Juniper's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009 and its 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010, no material changes have occurred to the legal proceedings reported therein. For more information, please see Juniper's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed April 15, 2010 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

The litigation involving Michael and James Calderhead is disclosed below because of the alleged significant damage that their actions have caused the Company.  The Calderheads’ bad acts forced Juniper to close New Wave Communications, Inc. which in turn precipitated the creation of new operating subsidiaries, Tower West and Ryan Pierce, in the wireless and broadband infrastructure construction services business.  These new subsidiaries were formed at great expense and the effects of the Calderhead’s alleged malicious behavior has caused financial reverberations throughout the Company’s operations.

Juniper Group, Inc. v. Michael and James Calderhead.  On June 15, 2007, the Company, through its subsidiaries, commenced a lawsuit against Michael Calderhead and James Calderhead (the “Calderheads”) former employees, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Case No. 07-CV-2413).  The complaint asserts claims against the Calderheads for breaches of a stock exchange agreement, breaches of an employment agreement, and breaches of fiduciary duties owed to Juniper and its wholly-owned subsidiary New Wave Communications, Inc. (“New Wave”).  Juniper alleges the Calderheads committed serious, material breaches of their agreements with Juniper.  Indeed, almost immediately after Juniper’s acquisition of New Wave, and while still employed by Juniper and/or New Wave and bound by their agreements with Juniper, the Calderheads made preparations to form and operate a rival business to compete with Juniper and New Wave.

 
- 13 -

 


In February 2006, a mere two months after Juniper’s acquisition of New Wave, the Calderheads met with possible financiers to discuss incorporating a new company that would compete with New Wave and Juniper.  Juniper alleges that the meeting involved at least James Calderhead, a Juniper executive and the President of New Wave; Michael Calderhead, a New Wave Chief Operating Officers; another New Wave executive who had worked with Michael Calderhead prior to the Juniper acquisition; and a local businessman in Franklin, Indiana, and the owner of several businesses.

At the time of the February 2006 meeting, and at all relevant times thereafter, James Calderhead was subject to the Employment Agreement and Michael Calderhead was subject to the Stock Exchange Agreement.  Following the alleged February 2006 meeting, the Calderheads, along with others, continued their efforts to form and operate a new company which came to be called Heartland Solutions Corp. (“HSC”) (formerly Communications Infrastructure, Inc.).  According to the online records of the Indiana Secretary of State, HSC was organized as a for-profit domestic corporation on January 19, 2007.

According to HSC’s advertisements and representations in the marketplace, it is a competitor of Juniper and New Wave.  Specifically, HCS’s website states that “HSC brings the combined experience of its owners in all areas of Cellular Site Construction,” including project management, civil construction, tower erection, and maintenance and troubleshooting.

At no time did the Calderheads inform New Wave or Juniper of the formation of HSC, their intentions or activities regarding HSC, or their intent or design to form a new company that would compete with New Wave or Juniper.  At no time did New Wave or Juniper consent to any activities by the Calderheads with respect to HSC or setting up a rival company.

On or about January 17, 2007, Michael Calderhead announced that he would resign from New Wave.  Michael Calderhead, however, did not formally end his employment relationship with New Wave until on or about March 27, 2007.  Juniper subsequently learned that Michael Calderhead had been working, and was continuing to work, for HSC.

In late 2006 and early 2007, New Wave’s business suddenly, and substantially, declined.  Contracts were lost, customer and vendor relationships were ended, and new business opportunities were not pursued.   New Wave alleged and believes that some former customers of Juniper and New Wave were transferred to HSC during this period, and believes that discovery will establish that the Calderheads were involved in soliciting business for HSC and soliciting New Wave’s customers and employees were essentially stolen from New Wave.

The substantial declines in New Wave’s business continued throughout early 2007.  These declines were not reported to Juniper’s management in a timely manner and, when they were reported, the declines were not explained in a reasonable or clear manner.  It was not until May, 2007 that Juniper became aware of HSC’s growing presence in the marketplace; the involvement of Michael Calderhead in HSC’s business; and that HSC was directly competing with New Wave for customers.

On Friday, May 18, 2007, ten New Wave employees abruptly announced that they were resigning their positions at New Wave.  Most of these former New Wave employees indicated that they would begin work for HSC, joining Michael Calderhead. Indeed, in the course of little more than a year from the date that Juniper purchased New Wave from Michael Calderhead and installed the Calderheads as New Wave executives, New Wave had gone from being a growing, profitable business to a business on the verge of financial collapse.

On Tuesday, May 22, 2007, Juniper terminated James Calderhead for cause.  Some, although not all, of the grounds for James Calderhead’s termination are set forth above and in a termination letter.

Juniper seeks injunctions restraining the Calderheads from, among other things, competing with Juniper and New Wave, as well as compensatory damages in the amount believed to be  $10,000,000, punitive damages in the amount of $5,000,000 and attorneys fees, costs and expenses.  On September 29, 2007, the Court issued a preliminary injunction against Michael Calderhead enjoining him from disclosing Juniper/New Wave’s customer list and from soliciting, directly or indirectly, any of Juniper/New Wave’s existing customers; denied the Calderheads’ motion to dismiss the complaint; and granted Juniper’s motion for expedited discovery.


The Calderheads initially appeared pro se, but shortly after the commencement of the lawsuit retained the law firm of Bracken, Margolin & Besunder, LLP.  On June 28, 2008, the Court granted Bracken, Margolin & Besunder, LLP’s motion to withdraw as counsel.  Subsequently the Calderheads again proceeded pro se until January 5, 2010, when they retained the counsel of Jonathan L. Stein, Esq. On July 29, 2010 the Court granted a motion by Mr. Stein to withdraw as counsel, and directed Mr. Stein to serve a notice by personal service on the Calderheads advising them that if they failed to either appear pro se or through counsel within thirty days of receiving said notice, the Court would entertain a motion of default against them.  Mr. Stein served this notice on the Calderheads at their last known addresses on July 30, 2010.

 
- 14 -

 


The Calderheads, having failed to appear either pro se or through counsel are in default of the Court’s order.  As a result, the Court respectfully directed the Clerk of the Court to note the default of the Calderheads pursuant to Federal Rule of Procedure 55(a).

Furthermore, on March 1, 2011, the Company moved for a default judgment against the Calderheads pursuant to Federal Rule of Procedure 55(b)(2).  On April 13, 2011 the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a default against Michael Calderhead and James Calderhead, the amount to be determined by United States Magistrate A. Kathleen Tomlinson for an inquest as to damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and cost.

Andrus v. Juniper Group, Inc. The plaintiff in the case is Alan Andrus, the former president of Juniper Internet Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company that is no longer active. Mr. Andrus alleges that he is owed approximately $200,000 in unpaid compensation.  He has asserted claims against the Company, Chief Executive Officer Vlado Hreljanovic and Juniper Internet Communications, Inc.

The Company does not dispute that Mr. Andrus was owed compensation and unreimbursed expenses at the time that Juniper Internet Communications ceased operations, but disputes the balance of the amount claimed by the plaintiff.    The Company disputes the allegations in their entirety as to Juniper and Mr. Hreljanovic and is vigorously defending the action.  The case was the subject of a bench trial on March 2nd and 3rd, 2011 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.  The Company anticipates the judge will render a judgment shortly.  The Company estimates that the amount owed by Juniper Internet is $105,000 and is uncollectible as this subsidiary has no assets or income.

New Wave Communications, Inc. A Chapter 11 Bankruptcy petition was filed by New Wave Communications, Inc. on November 7, 2008 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana (Indianapolis) and assigned case #08-13975-JKC-11.  The petition was voluntarily dismissed at the request of New Wave Communications, Inc. on March 6, 2009.

New Millennium, et. al. versus Juniper Group, Inc. On December 18, 2009, New Millennium Capital Partners III, LLC; ASW Partners, LLC; ASW Offshore II, Ltd.; ASW Qualified Partners II, LLC; ASW Master Fund II, Ltd. (“NIR Group”) filed an action entitled New Millennium, et. al. versus Juniper Group, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York Index No. 603782/09. The complaint alleges breach of the terms of certain convertible debentures and seeks equitable relief and monetary damages of $7.46 million Juniper has denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted counterclaims.  The Court has ordered the continuation of discover through May 2011.  While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims. The NIR Group is the note holder of our Callable Secured Convertible Notes with outstanding principal at December 31, 2009 of approximately $2.6 million.

JMJ Default. Justin Keener d/b/a JMJ Financial versus Juniper Group, Inc.  and Vlado P. Hreljanovic.   On August 6, 2010 Justin Keener filed an action entitled Justin Keener d/b/a JMJ Financial versus Juniper Group, Inc. in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit - Dade County Florida, Case No. 10-42729-CA31. The complaint alleges breach of the terms of a convertible debenture and seeks damages in the amount of approximately $234,000.   Juniper and Vlado P. Hreljanovic have denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted affirmative defenses. While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims.

Juniper Group, Inc. v. Michael Brown, Donald Johnson, William Furdock, Shanna Smith, Timothy Downs, and Thomas Nyiri .  On May 7, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiaries Ryan Pierce Group, Inc. and Tower West Communications, Inc., (“Plaintiffs”) commenced a lawsuit against Michael Brown, Donald Johnson, William Furdock, Shanna Smith, Timothy Downs, and Thomas Nyiri (“Defendants”), former employees and a consultant, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Nassau. The complaint alleges that the Defendants, acting in concert, conspired to divert business and employees from the Company, misappropriate intellectual property belonging to the plaintiffs and maliciously damaged the business of the Company.  The complaint alleges that Defendants solicited the Company’s customer while still in the employ of the Company; used fraud as a means to cause a mass defection of work crews from its subsidiaries; intentionally damaged the Company’s reputation with its largest customer; misappropriated equipment; and abandoned work in progress.  The complaint seeks injunctive relief and compensatory and consequential damages.

The Court issued a temporary restraining injunction and the application for a preliminary injunction was submitted on June 11, 2010.  The Company initially sought to preliminarily enjoin the Defendants from working for a competitor of the Company, soliciting its work crews or employing former employees of the Company and returning all property belonging to the Company and expedited disclosure.  The Court granted the preliminary injunction in part and denied in part.  Defendants were ordered to return all property belonging to the Company and other requests for injunctive relief were denied.  The Defendants subsequently filed a motion seeking to dismiss the complaint or for summary judgment.  The Plaintiffs opposed the motion which is currently awaiting decision by the Court.  The Company intends to pursue its claim for damages against the Defendants.

We also issued approximately $1.6 million of Convertible Debentures to various investors in 2010. These Convertible Debentures were issued at various interest rates ranging from 2% to 19.1%, with terms of 6 months to 4 years and are convertible into Common Stock at discount rates ranging from 0% to 75% of the fair market value of our Common Stock at the time of conversion or at fixed conversion prices ranging from $0.0001 to $0.000555. See Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.

On July 16, 2009, the Company issued 31,000,000 shares of it Series E Preferred Stock to Vlado P. Hreljanovic pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Release in partial satisfaction of accrued compensation in the amount of $31,000.  The issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock allowed Mr. Hreljanovic to maintain voting control of the Company. The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) because the offer and sale was made to an insubstantial number of persons and because of the manner of the offering. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since he agreed to, and received, shares bearing a legend stating that such notes are restricted. This restriction ensured that these shares will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore be part of a public offering. This offering was done with no general solicitation or advertising by us. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.

On May 11, 2009 the Company entered into a financing agreement with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to JMJ in the amount of $825,000 with an interest rate of 12% and JMJ issued a Secured & Collateralized Promissory Note to the Company in the amount of $750,000 with an interest rate of 13.2%. Both notes mature three years from the effective date. The interest on both notes was incurred as a one-time charge on the effective date of the notes and is equal to $99,000 on each note. The Company has received $145,000 toward satisfaction of the Secured & Collateralized Promissory Note from JMJ as of December 31, 2010.  The Convertible Promissory Note is convertible into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price based on 70% of the lowest trade price in the 20 trading days prior to the conversion.  Any conversions by JMJ are limited to JMJ remaining under 4.99% ownership of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the note, the Company is not permitted to prepay the note unless approved by JMJ.

In August 2009 and October 2009 the Company entered into convertible notes in the amount of $50,000 and $12,500, respectively, with Redwood Management LLC (“Redwood”).  The notes bear interest at 10% and are convertible into Common Stock at an exercise price equal to 40% of the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. Pursuant to the terms of the note the Company may prepay the note in whole or in part at 125% of the amount prepaid.

The Company approved the conversion of convertible debentures, conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, and satisfaction of certain liabilities (collectively referred to as the “Convertible Securities”) into unrestricted shares of Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144(b)(1) and Rule 3(a)(9).  The Convertible Securities were originally issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933as private transactions exempt from registration and in all recent conversions the provisions of Rule 144(c)(1) were met in that the Company is a reporting issuer, the recipients were non-affiliates of the Company and each had held the Convertible Securities in excess of a full year.  During the year ended December 31, 2010 a total of 2,174,379,903 shares of unrestricted Common Stock were issued in exchange for the conversion of $777,247 of convertible debentures, a total of 4,577,000 shares of unrestricted Common Stock were issued in exchange for the conversion of 376 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and 7,045,454 shares of unrestricted Common Stock were issued in exchange for the conversion of $16,125 of liabilities.

We relied on exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the General Rules and Regulations thereunder for the sale of the Convertible Debentures and warrants to investors and the issue of shares upon conversion of convertible notes, debentures and preferred stock. We believe that we have complied with the manner of sale, access to information and investor accreditation requirements of such exemptions.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid dividends on our Common Stock in the past nor do we anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

Overview

Juniper Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a holding company and its 2010 business has been composed of predominately one segment - the wireless infrastructure services business. The Company’s operates from its Boca Raton, FL office and conducts its business indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company’s current operating focus is though the wireless infrastructure services in supporting the growth of its operations by increasing revenue and managing costs. These services are conducted through a wholly owned subsidiary of Juniper Services, Inc. (“Services”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Juniper Entertainment, Inc (“JEI“), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Key Factors Affecting or Potentially Affecting Results of Operations and Financial Conditions

Management considers the following factors, events, trends and uncertainties to be important to understanding its results of operations and financial conditions:

ASC 815-10 requires that due to the indeterminate number of shares which might be issued under the embedded convertible host debt conversion feature of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes, the Company is required to record a liability relating to both the detachable warrants and embedded convertible feature of the convertible notes payable (included in liabilities as a “derivative liability”) and to all other warrants and options issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2010, except those issued to employees. The result of adjusting these derivative liabilities to market generated an unrealized gain of approximately $7,200,000 and $49,000,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively .

We reserve against receivables from customers whenever it is determined that there may be operational, corporate or market issues that could eventually offset the stability or financial status of these customers or payments to us. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing for these efforts, nor can it be assured that our services will continue to be provided successfully, or that customer demand for our services will continue to be strong despite anticipated customer workloads through 2011.

Results of Operations for Year Ended December 31, 2010 vs. December 31, 2009

Executive Overview of Financial Results

Our wireless infrastructure services operating subsidiaries primarily focus their activities in the Eastern and Central United States.  Certain alleged breaches of various fiduciary duties owed to the Company by Michael Brown, Donald Johnson, William Furdock, Shanna Smith, Timothy Downs, and Thomas Nyiri, (“Michael Brown et. al.”) former disloyal employees in the second quarter 2010, resulted in a reduction in our wireless infrastructure services business and the loss of business from major customers in the second half of 2010 (See Item 3 – Legal Proceedings). Our focus is now on rebuilding and investing in our wireless infrastructure services business.  Our mission is to reestablish our presence and business relationships with our customers in order to be able to support the demand in the deployment of wireless/tower system services with leading wireless telecommunication companies and in providing them with maintenance and upgrading of wireless telecommunication network sites, site acquisitions, site surveys, co-location facilitation, tower construction and antenna installation to tower system integration, hardware and software installations in the coming years.

Revenues

The wireless infrastructure services recognized revenue of approximately $2,357,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to approximately $1,067,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of approximately $1,290,000, or 121%. The increase in revenue was predominantly attributable to a full year of wireless infrastructure service business operations in 2010 versus approximately six months of operations in 2009.  However, we also experienced a decline in revenues in the second half of 2010 after certain alleged breaches of various fiduciary duties owed to the Company by former employees, Michael Brown et. al., which resulted in a reduction in revenue from our wireless infrastructure services business due to the loss of business from a major customer.
The increase in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 was largely attributed to revenue derived from one customer.

Operating Costs

The wireless infrastructure services business incurred operating costs of approximately $1,832,000, or 77.7% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to approximately  $918,000, or 86.0% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2009, an improvement of 8.3% as a percentage of revenue.
 
Gross Profit

The Company’s gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $525,000, or 22.3% of revenue, compared to approximately $149,000, or 14.0% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in the gross profit margin is predominately attributable to operating costs being allocated over a larger revenue base in 2010.

Operating Expense

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 was approximately $2,183,000 as compared to$1,489,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  This represents an increase of approximately $694,000, or 46.6%. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, travel and entertainment, legal, accounting and consulting fees and ordinary and customary office expenses. The increase in 2010 versus 2009 is primarily attributable to increases in personnel to support continued increases in revenues and operations. These increases in personnel included employing a director of operations, a project coordinator, a director of business development, a management outsources coordinator, and increases to administration and accounting.  Personnel costs associated with these increases to the Company’s infrastructure resulted in an increase of approximately $616,000 in 2010 versus 2009.  Due to the increase in personnel in 2010 there was a reduction in the use of consultants in 2010 resulting in a savings of approximately $45,000 as compared to 2009. The Company also incurred costs related to the use of a staffing agency in 2010 of $151,000 versus $0 in 2009. There was an increase in legal expense of approximately $23,000 in 2010 versus 2009 to support ongoing litigation.

Revaluation of Film Licenses

At the end of 2009  we evaluated our film library, taking into account the revenue generated over the past several years, the resources available to us to continue to pursue opportunities in this area and the resources necessary to maintain our rights against international piracy and copyright infringement. Although we have not fully discontinued this line of business, we will not aggressively devote the resources of the Company in this area and will engage in the sale or exploitation of film licenses if and when opportunities are available.  At December 31, 2009 management determined that the film licenses remaining should be fully written off. The Company took a charge of approximately $124,000 in 2009 as impairment to film licenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income decreased from aggregate income of approximately $47,134,000 in 2009 to aggregate income of approximately $5,367,000.    The principal reason for this decrease in other income is attributable to a decrease in the adjustment to derivative and warrant liabilities to fair market value for the year ended December 31, 2010 versus 2009 of approximately $41,742,000. This decrease in the gain on the adjustment to of derivative and warrant liabilities to fair value is a result of the substantial decrease in the change in the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock, a key element in the calculation of the derivative and warrant liabilities, from its high and low fair market prices during 2010 versus the change in 2009.  Interest expense and amortization of debt discount were approximately $571,000 and $1,361,000, respectively, in 2010 as compared to $475,000 and $1,411,000, respectively, in 2009. The increase in interest expense is a result of an increase in borrowings.

Net Income

Net income attributable to common stockholders was approximately $3,693,000, or $0.01 per share on a fully diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared with net income of approximately $45,665,000, or $2.54 per share on a fully diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $6,801,000 as compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $5,322,000 at December 31, 2009. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1:.05 at December 31, 2010 versus 1:.11at December 31, 2009. Cash used for operations during 2010 was approximately $740,000.
The Company did not have sufficient cash to pay for the cost of its operations or to pay its current debt obligations in 2010. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $759,000 in 2010. The Company raised approximately $851,000 through the sale of Convertible Debentures, received proceeds of approximately $42,000 relating to bank borrowings, and repaid borrowings of approximately $134,000. Capital purchases totaled approximately $90,000.  Among the obligations that the Company has not had sufficient cash to pay include certain payroll, payroll taxes and the funding of its subsidiary operations. From time to time, certain employees, creditors and consultants have agreed to receive the Company’s Common Stock in lieu of cash. In these instances, the Company has determined the number of shares to be issued based upon the unpaid compensation and the current market price of the stock. Additionally, the Company registers these shares so that the shares can immediately be sold in the open market.

With regard to the balance of the past due payroll taxes, the Company has hired tax counsel to negotiate with New York State and with the Internal Revenue Service and has entered into payment plans with both the New York State Department of Finance and Internal Revenue Service.

The fact that the Company continued to sustain losses in 2010, had negative working capital at December 31, 2010 and still requires additional sources of outside case to sustain operations, continues to increase the uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We believe that we will not currently sufficient liquidity to meet our operating cash requirements for the current level of operations. In addition, any event of default such as our failure to repay the principal or interest on our Convertible Debentures when due, our failure to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion by the holder, or the breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the Securities Purchase Agreement would have an impact on our ability to meet our operating requirements. We anticipate that the full amount of the Convertible Debentures will be converted into shares of our Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Debentures. If we are required to repay the Convertible Debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the Convertible Debentures when required, the debenture holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon receiving additional funds either through the issuance of debt or the sale of additional Common Stock and the success of management's plan to expand operations. Although we may obtain external financing through the sale of our securities, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or if available, that any such financing would be on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to fund our cash flow needs, we may have to reduce or stop planned expansion or scale back operations and reduce our staff. As discussed more fully in Item 3 – Legal Proceedings - a complaint has been filed against Juniper which alleges breach of the terms of certain convertible debentures and seeks equitable relief and monetary damages of $7.46 million Juniper has denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted counterclaims.  A motion for preliminary injunctive relief is pending. While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims.  New Millennium et. al. is the note holder of our Callable Secured Convertible Notes with outstanding principal at December 31, 2010 of approximately $2.4 million.

Our obligation to issue shares of our Common Stock upon conversion of our Convertible Debentures and preferred stock is essentially limitless.  As such we may not have sufficient shares of authorized Common Stock to convert all of the outstanding Convertible Debentures and preferred stock.  This could affect our ability to raise additional funds.

Securities Purchase Agreements

A $50,000 7% Convertible Note matured in May 2007 and is currently classified in Current Notes Payable.  The Company is in default on this note.

2005-2009 Securities Purchase Agreements

On December 28, 2005, we entered into a financing arrangement involving the sale of an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Convertible Notes and warrants to purchase  shares of our Common Stock.  On December 28, 2005 we closed on $500,000 of principal and stock purchase warrants.  The balance of the financing was closed on May 18, 2007.  On March 14, 2006, we entered into a financing arrangement involving the sale of an additional $300,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Convertible Notes and warrants to purchase  shares of our Common Stock, and on September 13, 2007, we entered into a financing arrangement involving the sale of an additional $600,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Convertible Notes and warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock.  As part of the September 2007 financing, our Chief Executive Officer was required to personally guarantee the notes and the discount rate on the market value of our stock used for conversion calculations was reduced from 50% to 35%. The Callable Secured Convertible Notes are due and payable, with 8% interest, unless sooner converted into shares of our Common Stock. On December 26, 2007, we entered into a financing arrangement involving the sale of an additional $100,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Convertible Notes and warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock.  On March 14, 2008 we entered into a financing agreement involving the sale of an additional $50,000 principal amount of callable Secured Notes and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. On June 20, 2008, we entered into a financing agreement involving the sale of additional $50,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Notes and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.  On July 29, 2008, we entered into a financing agreement involving the sale of additional $75,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Notes and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, and the interest rate on all of the Callable Secured Notes increased to 12%.  On September 24, 2008, we entered into a financing agreement involving the sale of additional $70,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Notes and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.   On November 5, 2008, we entered into a financing agreement involving the sale of additional $61,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Notes and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, and the interest rate on all the Callable Secured Notes increased to 15% and the discount rate on the market value of our stock used for conversion calculations was reduced from 35% to 28%.  On December 3, 2008, we sold $4,000 Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.   On December 5, 2008, we entered into a financing agreement involving the sale of additional $75,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Notes, bearing interest at 15% and a discount rate of 28%, and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. On March 11, 2009, we entered into a financing agreement involving the sale of additional $50,000 principal amount of Callable Secured Notes, bearing interest at 15% and a discount rate of 28%, On January 31, 2008 and November 10, 2008, $147,542 and $191,100 respectively, of accrued interest on these notes was converted to a debenture with similar terms and conditions, bearing interest at 2% per annum. We currently have approximately $2,526,000 of Callable Secured Convertible Notes outstanding, after giving effect to conversions throughout the year. In addition, any event of default such as our failure to repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion by the holder, our failure to timely file a registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective, breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was declared effective on May 11, 2007.  The conversion price of the notes is dependent on the publicly traded market price of the Company’s Common Stock.  As such, the conversion price may change as the market value of the Company’s commons stock rises and falls.  While we anticipate that the full amount of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes will be converted into shares of our Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes, the full conversion of these notes is dependent on the amount of the Company’s authorized Common Stock.   If we are required to repay the Callable Secured Convertible Notes, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when required, the note holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations. As discussed more fully in Item 3 – Legal Proceedings - a complaint has been filed against Juniper which alleges breach of the terms of certain convertible debentures and seeks equitable relief and monetary damages of $7.46 million Juniper has denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted counterclaims.  A motion for preliminary injunctive relief is pending. While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims. Millennium et. al. is the note holder of our Callable Secured Convertible Notes with outstanding principal at December 31, 2010 of approximately $2.4 million.   After taking into consideration all of the reverse stock splits, the outstanding warrants entitle the holder to purchase an aggregate of 500,230 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at prices ranging from $0.25 to $5,000 per share.

On May 11, 2009 the Company entered into a financing agreement for Convertible Promissory Notes in the amount of $825,000 in exchange for the delivery to the Company of a Secured & Collateralized Promissory Notes in the amount of $750,000. As of December 31, 2010 the Company has received $145,000 toward satisfaction of this note.

The Convertible Promissory Note matures three years from the effective date and bears a one-time interest equal to 12% and the obligation is convertible into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion rate based on 70% of the lowest trade price in the 20 trading days previous to the conversion.  Any conversions by the Holder of these note is limited to the Holder remaining under 4.99% ownership of the outstanding voting Common Stock of the Company.  By the terms of this note prepayment is not permitted unless approved by the lender.

The Secured & Collateralized Promissory Notes mature three years from the effective date and bear a one-time interest charge of 13.2% and are secured by securities in the amount of 750,000.

In August 2009 and October 2009 the Company entered into convertible notes in the amount of $50,000 and $12,500, respectively, with Redwood Management LLC (“Redwood”).  The notes bear interest at 10% and are convertible into Common Stock at an exercise price equal to 75% and 40%, respectively, of the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. Pursuant to the terms of the note the Company may prepay the note in whole or in part at 125% of the amount prepaid.

In June and July 2010 the Company entered into convertible notes in the amount of $50,000 and $30,000, respectively, with Redwood.  These notes have a three year term, bear interest at 7% and 12%, respectively, and are convertible into Common Stock at an exercise price equal to 50% and 75%, respectively, of the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. Pursuant to the terms of the notes, the Company may prepay the notes in whole or in part at 125% of the amount to be prepaid upon seven (7) days notice prior to redemption.

The Company filed a Certificate of Change pursuant to NRS 78.735 and NRS 78.390 with the Secretary of State of Nevada which became effective on August 27, 2009.  The Certificate of Change (a) increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 10,000,000,000; (b) changed the par value of the Common Stock to $0.0001; and (c) effected a 1 for 500 reverse stock split of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock, thereby reducing the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

On August 3, 2010 the Company filed a definitive Schedule 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The information statement was mailed to the shareholders on August 4, 2010 and became effective on August 25, 2010.   The purpose of the statement was to notify  the Company’s shareholders that the Board of Directors, with the written consent of a stockholder holding a majority of the Company’s voting power, had approved a reverse stock split of up to one for three hundred (1-for-300) (the “Stock Split”). The Stock Split will become effective at a date and time to be determined by the Board of Directors, if it deems it advisable, within the next 12 months, and then after the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Due to the indeterminate number of shares which might be issued under the embedded conversion features of the convertible securities, the Company is required to record a liability relating to both the detachable warrants and embedded convertible feature of the convertible securities payable (included in the liabilities as a “derivative liability”).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements comply with current requirements relating to warrants and embedded derivatives as described in ASC 815-10 as follows:

  
a.
The Company treats the full fair market value of the derivative and warrant liability on the convertible secured debentures as a discount on the debentures (limited to their face value). The excess, if any, is recorded as an increase in the derivative liability and warrant liability with a corresponding increase in loss on adjustment of the derivative and warrant liability to fair value.

 
b.
Subsequent to the initial recording, the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative  of the conversion feature of the convertible debentures and the change in the fair value of the detachable warrants, as determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing formula are recorded as adjustments to the liabilities as of each balance sheet date with a corresponding change in the gain or loss  recorded as an adjustment of the derivative and warrant liability to fair value in the consolidated statement of operations.

  
c.
The expense relating to the change in the fair value of the Company’s stock reflected in the change in the fair value of the warrants and derivatives (noted above) is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Provisions of the Transaction Agreements. The Investors will be entitled to exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. In the event that an Investor exercises the Warrants on a cashless basis, then we will not receive any proceeds. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted in the event we issue Common Stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of the Warrant or issued in connection with the Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements. Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock below the market price, the exercise price of the Warrants will be reduced accordingly. The market price is determined by averaging the last reported sale prices for our shares of Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding such issuance as set forth on our principal trading market. The exercise price shall be determined by multiplying the exercise price in effect immediately prior to the dilutive issuance by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is equal to the sum of the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the offering plus the quotient of the amount of consideration received by us in connection with the issuance divided by the market price in effect immediately prior to the issuance. The denominator of such issuance shall be equal to the number of shares outstanding after the dilutive issuance. Currently the exercise price relating to all outstanding warrants is in excess of the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

In addition, the conversion price of the convertible securities and the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted in the event that we issue Common Stock at a price below the fixed conversion price or below market price, with the exception of any securities issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreements. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the Investors’ positions.

Payment of the Convertible Notes is secured by all of our assets pursuant to a Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, principally Mr. Hreljanovic, our chief executive and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal; executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). The Company’s 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 GAAP.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting 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 GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 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.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, the Company assessed the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.  In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on the results of this assessment and those criteria, the Company concluded that the material weakness that existed in the internal controls as of December 31, 2008 continued to exist at December 31, 2010 as follow:

 
·
A material weakness in the Company’s internal controls exists in that there is limited segregation of duties amongst the Company’s employees with respect to the Company’s preparation and review of the Company’s financial statements. Our chief Executive Officer is also our Chief Financial Officer and as a result, checks and balances are not always employed in all our operating processes.

 
·
A material weakness in the Company’s internal controls exists in that there are an insufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of experience and knowledge of the US GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. This material weakness may affect management’s ability to effectively review and analyze elements of the financial statement closing process and prepare financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.

 
·
During 2008, as a result of the cessation of the operations at our main subsidiary, all of that subsidiary’s records were seized by creditors and many of these records remain unavailable.

 
- 25 -

 
 
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 rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report
 
 
Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the Company evaluation required by paragraph (3) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d–15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the small business issuer’s fiscal year that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers; Corporate Governance

Name
Age
Positions
Vlado P. Hreljanovic
63
Director, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer and Secretary
Barry S. Huston
64
Director

Our Board of Directors is comprised of two directors of one class. Each director is elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor has been elected and qualified. The following is a brief description of the background and experience of our director and officer.

 
Vlado P. Hreljanovic has been Chairman of the Board, Director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer, and Secretary since 1987. From 1980 through 1986, he was an independent producer of full-length feature films, including Just Before Dawn.  From 1976 through 1979, Mr. Hreljanovic was corporate controller of Master Eagle, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unimax, Inc., formerly a publicly traded company. Prior thereto, he was with KPMG, LLC a worldwide accounting, tax and advisory services firm.  Mr. Hreljanovic received his bachelor of science from Fordham University in 1970. He also owns and controls as sole owner, director and officer, Entertainment Financing, Inc., a New York corporation.

Barry S. Huston a director since 2000, has been a practicing attorney for thirty-eight years specializing in complex personal injury and wrongful death litigation, including construction and workplace accidents, motor vehicle accidents, products liability, premises and municipal liability, medical malpractice, toxic/environmental torts, and aviation disasters.  He is of counsel to The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C., a New York, New York personal injury law firm.  Prior thereto, he was a senior partner with his own law firm. Some of his most notable cases involve pharmaceutical products such as pHisoHex containing the neurotoxin hexachlorophine and a dietary supplement containing ephedra, litigation resulting from the Pan Am Flight 103 air disaster, and a settlement of $15.7 million ($8.5 million present value), which was one of the largest motor vehicle accident settlements in Massachusetts history.  Mr. Huston received a Juris Doctor degree in 1972 from Brooklyn Law School and a Bachelor of Arts in 1969 from Queens College of the City of New York.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee. We have no audit committee of the Board of Directors. We are exempt from the Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for a separate audit committee. The board of directors believes that each member is financially literate and experienced in business matters and is capable of (1) understanding generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and financial statements, (2) assessing the general application of GAAP principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (3) analyzing and evaluating our financial statements, (4) understanding our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and (5) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the board of directors believes that no audit committee member has obtained these attributes through the experience specified in the SEC's definition of “audit committee financial expert.” Further, as is the case with many small companies, it would be difficult for us to attract and retain board members who qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” and competition for such individuals is significant. The board of directors believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations despite not having a separate audit committee or a designated “audit committee financial expert.”

 
- 26 -

 


No Compensation Committee. We have no compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The entire board acts as our compensation committee. Transactions between our management and us are not conducted at arm's-length. These include their compensation arrangements set forth in Item 11- Executive Compensation and the transactions set forth in Item 13- Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence below. Mr. Hreljanovic, without any independent authorization, review or oversight sets the terms of these arrangements and transactions. There can be no assurance that the terms thereof are comparable to those that would be negotiated at arm's-length or otherwise fair and reasonable, despite the good faith belief of Mr. Hreljanovic that they are.

Meetings of Directors

There were no formal meetings of the Board of Directors and no formal meeting of committees thereof in fiscal 2010.   The board acted by unanimous consent 40 times. We have adopted a policy that all directors must attend the annual meeting of directors following the shareholders meeting and two-thirds of all other meetings of directors.

Code of Ethics

During 2009, we adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that addresses, among other things, conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality, fair dealing, protection and use of company assets, compliance with laws (including insider trading laws), and reporting of unethical behavior. The Code of Ethics is applicable to our directors, officers and all employees. Our Code of Ethics is posted on our website www.junipergroup.com

In addition, we have adopted a Finance Code of Ethics that requires honest and ethical business conduct, full, accurate and timely financial disclosures, compliance with all laws, rules and regulations governing our business, and prompt internal reporting of any violations of the code. The Finance Code of Ethics is applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and all finance employees. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 10 of Form 8-K regarding any amendment to or waiver of the Code of Ethics with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller, and persons performing similar functions, by posting such information on our website.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities of Juniper. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. These filings are publicly available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and our review of the SEC’s website, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

Employment and Other Compensation-Related Agreements with Management

Mr. Hreljanovic has an Employment Agreement with the Company, which has been extended by the Board of Directors to December 31, 2011 and provides for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer at an annual salary of approximately $242,000, as adjusted by the CPI, and for the reimbursement of certain expenses and insurance. Under the terms of this extended employment agreement, our Chief Executive Officer is entitled to receive a cash bonus of a percentage of our pre-tax profits if our pre-tax profit exceeds $100,000. Additionally, if the employment agreement is terminated early by us after a change in control (as defined by the agreement), Mr. Hreljanovic is entitled to receive his accrued salary and to a lump sum cash payment equal to approximately three times his current base salary. Due to a working capital deficit, for the year ended December 31, 2010 Mr. Hreljanovic actually received compensation of $46,750 and the balance of approximately $195,000 was accrued at December 31, 2010. Mr. Hreljanovic has accrued salary of approximately $1,069,000 which is included in due to officer at December 31, 2010.

Mr. Hreljanovic incorporated Tower West Communications, Inc. a Florida corporation, organized in January 2009 (“Tower West”) and Ryan Pierce Group, Inc., a Florida corporation, organized in July 2009 (“Ryan Pierce”).  Mr. Hreljanovic paid all fees and costs associated with the organization of these companies.   Juniper Services, Inc. owns a 100% interest in both Tower West and Ryan Pierce subject to a first position security interest held by Mr. Hreljanovic. Mr. Hreljanovic’s security interest in Tower West and Ryan Pierce extinguishes upon payment in full of all compensation owed to him.

Additionally, if the employment agreement is terminated early by us after a change in control (as defined by the agreement), the officer is entitled to his accrued and  unpaid salary and to a lump sum cash payment equal to approximately three times his current base salary.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.

Transactions with Directors, Officers and Principal Shareholders

Beginning in 2006, Mr. Hreljanovic has made cash advances to us for working capital. These advances are due on demand, bear no interest and are unsecured.  From time to time, we have repaid Mr. Hreljanovic a portion of these advances.  Giving effect to these repayments, the balance due to Mr. Hreljanovic was approximately $1,069,000 at December 31, 2010.  We believe that the terms of these loans are commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party on an arm's length basis.

The Company paid rent under a sublease during 2010 and 2009 to a company owned 100% by the President of the Company. The rents paid and terms under the sublease are the same as those under the affiliate's lease agreement with the landlord. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $65,000 and $61,000, respectively. The master lease and the Company’s sublease on this space expire on November 30, 2016.

To safeguard the continued independence of the independent auditors, the Board has adopted a policy that expands our existing policy preventing our independent auditors from providing services to us that are prohibited under Section 10A(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This policy also provides that independent auditors are only permitted to provide services to the Company that have been pre-approved by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the policy, all audit services require advance approval by the directors. All other services by the independent auditors that fall within certain designated dollar thresholds, both per engagement as well as annual aggregate, have been pre-approved under the policy. Different dollar thresholds apply to the three categories of pre-approved services specified in the policy (Audit Related services, Tax services and other services). The directors must approve all services that exceed the dollar thresholds in advance.

During the Company’s two  recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods through the date of resignation, there were no reportable events as the term described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
 
 
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods through the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements for those periods.

In making the selection of the New Accountant, the Company’s management and board of directors reviewed auditor independence issues and the absence of any pre-existing business or commercial relationship with the New Accountant and concluded that there are no such relationships that would impair the independence of the New Accountant.  The board and management of the Company concluded that the geographical proximity would benefit the Company in working with the New Accountant and promote the timely completion of work requested from the New Accountant.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and through April 15, 2010, the Company did not consult with Liebman, Goldberg & Hymowitz, LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) or Regulation S-B.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To The Board of Directors
Juniper Group Inc. and Subsidiaries
Boca Raton, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balances sheet of Juniper Group Inc., and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the two year period ended December 31, 2010. 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 audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Juniper Group Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and has suffered recurring losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 9. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

JUNIPER GROUP, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - Business

Description of Business
 
Juniper Group, Inc. (“Juniper” or the “Company”) is a corporation incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1997. The Company’s business is primarily focused on wireless infrastructure services operated through two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Juniper Entertainment, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Wireless infrastructure services

The Company’s wireless infrastructure services operating subsidiaries provide wireless infrastructure services in the Eastern and Central United States by providing broadband connectivity services for wireless telecommunication networks. All of our revenues in 2010 and 2009 were derived from these operations.

As a result of certain alleged breaches of various fiduciary duties owed to the Company by Michael Brown, Donald Johnson, William Furdock, Shanna Smith, Timothy Downs, and Thomas Nyiri, (“Michael Brown et. al.”) former disloyal employees in the second quarter 2010, the Company experienced a reduction in its wireless infrastructure services revenue and the loss of business from major customers in the second half of 2010. Our focus is now on rebuilding and investing in our wireless infrastructure services business.  Our mission is to reestablish our presence and business relationships with our customers in order to be able to support the demand in the deployment of wireless/tower system services with leading wireless telecommunication companies and in providing them with maintenance and upgrading of wireless telecommunication network sites, site acquisitions, site surveys, co-location facilitation, tower construction and antenna installation to tower system integration, hardware and software installations in the coming years.

In January, 2009 and July 2009 we formed Tower West Communications, Inc. (“Tower West”) and Ryan Pierce Group, Inc. (“Ryan Pierce”), respectively, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. Tower West and Ryan Pierce currently operates nationally by contracting to wireless telecommunication and tower owners and operators. As a result, it is capable of sustained work anywhere within the United States. We have master service agreements with ClearWire, Verizon, T- Mobile, American Tower, Crown Castle and AeroSolutions.

The mission of Tower West and Ryan Pierce is to support the increased demand in the deployment and maintenance of wireless/tower system services with leading telecommunication companies in providing them with repair and maintenance tower construction and antenna installation to tower system integration, hardware and software installations and upgrades.

Film Distribution
 
The Company’s film distribution operations are conducted through one wholly-owned subsidiary of Juniper Entertainment, Inc. The Company’s film distribution operations consist of acquiring motion picture rights from independent producers and distributing these rights to domestic and international territories on behalf of the producers to various media (i.e. DVD, satellite, pay television and broadcast television).  We derived no revenue in 2010 or 2009 from these operations.  Although we have not fully discontinued this line of business and will engage in the sale or exploitation of film licenses if and when opportunities are available, at this time we will not aggressively devote the resources of the Company in this area. As a result, management determined that the film licenses remaining should be fully written off in 2009. The Company took a charge of approximately $124,000 in 2009 as impairment to film licenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Standards Codification.  In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105-10, which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  ASC Topic 105-10 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registrants.  Upon adoption of this guidance under ASC Topic 105-10, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative.  The guidance under ASC Topic 105-10 became effective for the Company as of September 30, 2009.  References made to authoritative FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated to the applicable Codification section.

Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Juniper and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and Cost Recognition.  In the wireless infrastructure services, the Company enters into contracts principally on the basis of competitive bids, the final terms and prices of which are frequently negotiated with the customer. Although the terms of its contracts vary considerably, most services are made on a cost- plus or time and materials basis. The Company completes most projects within six months.

The Company follows the guidance in the ASC 605-25 in recognizing income. Revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been rendered or delivery occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. The actual cost required to complete a project and, therefore, the profit eventually realized, could differ materially in the near term.

Accounts Receivable.  Accounts receivable is stated at the amount billable to customers. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts, which are based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical performance and existing economic conditions. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30 to 60 days after issuance of the invoice. The Company establishes reserves against receivables by customers whenever it is determined that there may be corporate or market issues that could eventually affect the stability or financial status of these customers or their payments to the Company. The Company’s policy is not to accrue interest on past due trade receivables.  In 2010, one customer, ClearWire US LLC, accounted for 93% of our total revenues with the balance coming from six additional customers.  At December 31, 2010, ClearWire accounted for 86% of our accounts receivable.

Unbilled Accounts Receivable. Unbilled accounts receivable represents revenue on work completed for which the Company is waiting to receive a purchase order from the customer.  Due to the nature of the industry, customers often request that maintenance and repair and emergency work be performed prior to issuing purchase orders.

Concentration of Credit Risk.  Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk are principally trade accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the technology and entertainment services segment is primarily subject to the financial condition of the segment's largest customers.

Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed generally on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over their estimated useful lives, which generally ranges from 3 to 5 years.  Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.  The cost of property or equipment retired are otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the period of disposal with the resulting gain or loss reflected in earnings or in the cost of the replacement. 

Financial Instruments.  The estimated fair values of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's debt (i.e., notes payable, convertible debentures and other obligations) does not have a ready market. These debt instruments are shown on a discounted basis using market rates applicable at the effective date. If such debt were discounted based on current rates, the fair value of this debt would not be materially different from their carrying value.

 
 
F-10

 


ASC 815-10 requires that due to indeterminable number of shares which might be issued the imbedded convertible host debt feature of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes, the Company is required to record a liability relating to both the detachable warrants and the embedded convertible feature of the notes payable, which is included in the liabilities as a “derivative liability”, and to all other warrants issued and outstanding as of December 28, 2005, except those issued to employees.  The result of adjusting these derivative liabilities to market generated an unrealized loss of approximately $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and an unrealized gain of approximately $49.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation.  In February 2007, the FASB adopted ASC 825-10 which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  ASC 825-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We have adopted this process.  There was no compensation expense for stock options calculated in 2010 and 2009.

Derivative Instruments.  Effective December 28, 2005, the Company adopted ASC 815. ASC 815 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are reported as other income or expense in the period of the change.
 
Income Taxes.  The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10 which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2010 the Company had no deferred tax liabilities.

Net Income (loss) per Common Share.  Earnings per share have been calculated in accordance with Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”). Topic 260 requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for all entities with complex capital structures.  Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and convertible debentures.

Net income (loss) per common share for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 has been computed by dividing net income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding throughout the year of 411,884,174 and 17,952,814, respectively.

All of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been adjusted to reflect the one-for-five hundred reverse stock split effective on August 27, 2009.

Warrants Issued With Convertible Debt.  The Company has issued and anticipates issuing warrants along with debt and equity instruments to third parties. These issuances are recorded based on the fair value of these instruments. Warrants and equity instruments require valuation using the Black-Scholes model and other techniques, as applicable, and consideration of assumptions including but not limited to the volatility of the Company’s stock, and expected lives of these equity instruments.

Reclassifications.  Certain amounts in the 2009 consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements. There have been no accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting principles during the year ended December 31, 2010 that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

At December 31, 2010, other current assets consisted primarily of prepaid insurance and deposits of approximately $23,100, all of which will be realized in 2011.

At December 31, 2009, other current assets consisted primarily of prepaid insurance and deposits of approximately $33,700.

During 2009 the Company wrote off $599,224 of fully depreciated assets that were no longer useful.

NOTE 5 - Film Licenses

The Company has historically been engaged in acquiring film rights from independent producers and distributing these rights to domestic and international territories on behalf of the producers to various media (i.e. DVD, satellite, home video, pay-per view, pay television, television, and independent syndicated television stations). For the past several years, we have reduced our efforts in the distribution of film licenses primarily because of the resources required to continue in today's global markets and deal with issues such as electronic media and piracy.  We derived no revenue in 2010 or 2009 from these operations.  At the end of 2009 we evaluated our film library, taking into account the revenue generated over the past several years, the resources available to us to continue to pursue opportunities in this area and the resources necessary to maintain our rights against international piracy and copyright infringement. Although we have not fully discontinued this line of business and will engage in the sale or exploitation of film licenses if and when opportunities are available,  at this time we will not aggressively devote the resources of the Company in this area. As a result, management has determined that the film licenses remaining should be fully written off in 2009. The Company took a charge of approximately $124,000 in 2009 as impairment to film licenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

A subsidiary of the Company had a bank line of credit of approximately $300,250 which does not include accrued interest of approximately $21,750, at an interest rate of 7.75% and matured on June 6, 2008. The obligation to the bank has not been repaid, is classified in the current portion of Notes Payable at December 31, 2010.

Notes payable to others includes a 7% Convertible Note which matured in 2007 and is classified in the current portion of Notes Payable as of December 31, 2010. In addition, Notes payable to others at December 31, 2009 includes the settlement of a lawsuit against a former consultant originally for $310,000, which was fully satisfied in 2010.
 
Callable Secured Convertible Notes. The Company entered into a series of Securities Purchase Agreements with New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd. and AJW Partners, LLC (collectively referred to hereinafter as “NIR Group”) starting in December 28, 2005, with the last financing for $50,000 occurring on March 11, 2009.  Various Callable Secured Convertible Notes (the “Callable Notes”) initially bore interest at a rate of 8% with the right to convert into shares of Common Stock at a discount of 65% based upon the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the Common Stock for the 20 trading days before, but not including, the conversion date.  As a result of various adjustments and the receipt of additional financing from NIR Group, the interest rate on all of the Callable Notes was adjusted to rates of 12% or 15%.  Furthermore, the discount conversion rate was increased from 65% to 72% on a majority of the Callable Notes. In connection with the Callable Notes the NIR Group also received warrants to purchase a total of 500,300 shares of Common Stock, as adjusted for reverse stock splits, of the Company at exercise prices ranging from $.50 to $13,000 per share and expire on dates through December 2015 (see footnote 6). In addition, on January 31, 2008 and November 10, 2008 the NIR Group agreed to convert an aggregate of $338,642 of accrued interest into Callable Notes.  The total principal outstanding relating to all of the Callable Notes at December 31, 2010 was $2,525,515, all of which is classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In addition, the conversion price of the Callable Notes and the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event that we issue Common Stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, below market price, with the exception of any securities issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The conversion price of the Callable Notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder's position. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our Common Stock such that the number of shares of Common Stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, NIR Group may have a security interest in substantially all of our assets and registration rights.

2009 Convertible Notes. On May 11, 2009 the Company entered into a financing agreement with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”). The Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to JMJ (the “JMJ Note”) in the amount of $825,000 with an interest rate of 12% and JMJ issued a Secured & Collateralized Promissory Note to the Company in the amount of $750,000 with an interest rate of 13.2%. Both notes mature three years from the effective date. The interest on both notes was incurred as a one-time charge on the effective date of the notes and is equal to $99,000 on each note. As of December 31, 2010 the Company has received $145,000 toward the satisfaction of the Secured & Collateralized Promissory Note from JMJ as of September 30, 2009. The JMJ Note is convertible into the Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price based on 70% of the lowest trade price in the 20 trading days prior to the conversion.  Any conversions by JMJ are limited to the JMJ remaining under 4.99% ownership of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.  Pursuant to the terms of the note, the Company is not permitted to prepay the note unless approved by JMJ.

On August 20, 2009, the Company entered into a $50,000 convertible note with Redwood Management LLC.  (“Redwood Note-I”) The Redwood Note-I has a three year term, bears interest at 10% and is convertible into Common Stock at an exercise price equal to 75% of the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. Pursuant to the terms of the Redwood Note-I, the Company may prepay the note in whole or in part at 125% of the amount to be prepaid upon seven (7) days notice prior to redemption. As of December 31, 2010 $28,000 of the Redwood Note-I was outstanding.

On October 19, 2009, the Company entered into a $12,500 convertible note with Redwood Management LLC.  (“Redwood Note-II”) The Redwood Note-II has a three year term, bears interest at 10% and is convertible into Common Stock at an exercise price equal to 40% of the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. Pursuant to the terms of the Redwood Note-II, the Company may prepay the note in whole or in part at 125% of the amount to be prepaid upon seven (7) days notice prior to redemption.

 
 
F-13

 


The JMJ Note together with Redwood Note-I and Redwood Note-II are collectively referred to as the 2009 Convertible Notes. All of the 2009 Convertible Notes, totaling $865,000 at December 31, 2010, are classified as a long term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

2010 Convertible Notes.  On June 23, 2010, the Company entered into a $50,000 convertible note with Redwood Management LLC.  (“Redwood Note-III”) The Redwood Note-III has a three year term, bears interest at 7% and is convertible into common stock at an exercise price equal to 50% of the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. Pursuant to the terms of the Redwood Note-III, the Company may prepay the note in whole or in part at 125% of the amount to be prepaid upon seven (7) days notice prior to redemption.

On July 14, 2010 Redwood Management LLC acquired an outstanding Convertible Note in the amount of $30,000 (“Redwood Note IV”) from a holder of a Convertible Note. The Redwood Notes IV has a three year term, bears interest at 12% and is convertible into common stock at an exercise price equal to 75% of the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. Pursuant to the terms of the Redwood Note-III, the Company may prepay the note in whole or in part at 150% of the amount to be prepaid upon seven (7) days notice prior to redemption.

The 2010 Convertible Notes are all classified as a long term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Convertible Notes.  The Company has entered into a series of convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in exchange for cash proceeds, goods or services.  The Convertible Notes have maturities ranging from two to seven years and accrue interest at rates ranging from 2% to 14%.  The Convertible Notes are generally convertible into Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to the lowest closing bid price for the 10 trading days prior to conversion. At December 31, 2010 the Convertible Notes had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,926,000 of which approximately $434,067 is classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Fixed Price Convertible Notes. In the fourth quarter of 2010 the Company entered into a series of convertible notes (the “Fixed Price Convertible Notes”).  These notes are convertible into Common Stock of the Company at fixed conversion prices, bear interest at rates from 7% to 19.1% and mature between six months and three years from the date of issuance.  At December 31, 2010 the Fixed Price Convertible Notes totaled approximately $533,000 of which $146,500, net of $50,817 of debt discount, is classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  In accordance with the provisions of Topic 470-20, the Company has computed the Fair Market Value of the Beneficial Conversion Feature of these notes to be $391,330, which has been charged Additional Paid In Capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company has also recorded the same amount as debt discount, which will be accreted and charged to operations over the life of the Fixed Price Convertible Notes.

Due to the indeterminate number of shares which might be issued under the convertible conversion feature of the Callable Notes, the 2009 Convertible Notes, the 2010 Convertible Notes and the Convertible Notes outstanding, the Company is required to record a liability relating to both the detachable warrants and embedded convertible feature of the convertible debentures payable which is included in the liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a “derivative liability”.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements comply with current requirements relating to warrants and embedded derivatives as follows:

  
a.
The Company treats the full fair market value of the derivative and warrant liability on the convertible secured debentures as a discount on the debentures (limited to their face value). The excess, if any, is recorded as an increase in the derivative liability and warrant liability with a corresponding increase in loss on adjustment of the derivative and warrant liability to fair value.

 
b.
Subsequent to the initial recording, the change in the fair value of the detachable warrants, determined under the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative (utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing formula) in the conversion feature of the convertible debentures are recorded as adjustments to the liabilities as of each balance sheet date with a corresponding change in Loss on adjustment of the derivative and warrant liability to fair value.

  
c.
The expense relating to the change in the fair value of the Company’s stock reflected in the change in the fair value of the warrants and derivatives (noted above) is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 7 - Shareholders' Deficit

Net income (loss) per common share for 2010 and 2009 has been computed by dividing net income (loss), after preferred stock dividend provision of $6,086 in both years, by the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for 2010 and 2009, after giving effect to the one-for-five hundred reverse stock split on August 27, 2009.

Our obligation to issue shares of our Common Stock upon conversion of our Convertible Debentures and preferred stock is essentially limitless.  As such we may not have sufficient shares of authorized Common Stock to convert all of the outstanding Convertible Debentures and preferred stock.  This could affect our ability to raise additional funds.
  
Preferred Stock

According to the Company’s corporate charter, 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock have been authorized for issuance.  As of December 31, 2010, 106,960,357 have been designated for the Company’s five classes of preferred stock.

12% Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company's 12% non-voting convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder to annual dividends  of $.24 per  share payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1, December 1 in cash or Common Stock of the Company having an equivalent fair market value. At December 31, 2010, 25,357 shares of the Non-Voting Preferred Stock were outstanding.

On February 7, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of shares of the Company's Common Stock or cash, which shall be at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer in order to pay the accrued preferred stock dividends. Accrued and unpaid dividends at December 31, 2010, were $53,240. Dividends will accumulate until such time as earned surplus is available to pay a cash dividend or until a post effective amendment to the Company's registration statement covering a certain number of common shares reserved for the payment of Preferred Stock dividends is filed and declared effective, or if such number of common shares are insufficient to pay cumulative dividends, then until additional common shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The Company's Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a rate of two shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustments) for each share of Preferred Stock, at the option of the Company, at any time on not less than 30 days' written or published notice to the Preferred Stockholders of record, at a price $2.00 per share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends). The holders of the Preferred Stock have the opportunity to convert shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock during the notice period. The Company does not have nor does it intend to establish a sinking fund for the redemption of the Preferred Stock.  As adjusted, the aggregate outstanding shares of Preferred Stock would currently be converted into a total of fifteen shares of Common Stock.

Litigation

Juniper Group, Inc. v. Michael and James Calderhead.  On June 15, 2007, the Company, through its subsidiaries, commenced a lawsuit against Michael Calderhead and James Calderhead (the “Calderheads”) former employees, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Case No. 07-CV-2413).  The complaint asserts claims against the Calderheads for breaches of a stock exchange agreement, breaches of an employment agreement, and breaches of fiduciary duties owed to Juniper and its wholly-owned subsidiary New Wave Communications, Inc. (“New Wave”).  Juniper alleges the Calderheads committed serious, material breaches of their agreements with Juniper.  Indeed, almost immediately after Juniper’s acquisition of New Wave, and while still employed by Juniper and/or New Wave and bound by their agreements with Juniper, the Calderheads made preparations to form and operate a rival business to compete with Juniper and New Wave.

In February 2006, a mere two months after Juniper’s acquisition of New Wave, the Calderheads met with possible financiers to discuss incorporating a new company that would compete with New Wave and Juniper.  Juniper alleges that the meeting involved at least James Calderhead, a Juniper executive and the President of New Wave; Michael Calderhead, a New Wave Chief Operating Officers; another New Wave executive who had worked with Michael Calderhead prior to the Juniper acquisition; and a local businessman in Franklin, Indiana, and the owner of several businesses.

At the time of the February 2006 meeting, and at all relevant times thereafter, James Calderhead was subject to the Employment Agreement and Michael Calderhead was subject to the Stock Exchange Agreement.  Following the alleged February 2006 meeting, the Calderheads, along with others, continued their efforts to form and operate a new company which came to be called Communications Infrastructure, Inc. (“CII”).  According to the online records of the Indiana Secretary of State, CII was organized as a for-profit domestic corporation on January 19, 2007.

According to CII’s advertisements and representations in the marketplace, it is a competitor of Juniper and New Wave.  Specifically, CII’s website states that “CII brings the combined experience of its owners in all areas of Cellular Site Construction,” including project management, civil construction, tower erection, and maintenance and troubleshooting.

 
 
F-16

 

At no time did the Calderheads inform New Wave or Juniper of the formation of CII, their intentions or activities regarding CII, or their intent or design to form a new company that would compete with New Wave or Juniper.  At no time did New Wave or Juniper consent to any activities by the Calderheads with respect to CII or setting up a rival company.

On or about January 17, 2007, Michael Calderhead announced that he would resign from New Wave.  Michael Calderhead, however, did not formally end his employment relationship with New Wave until on or about March 27, 2007.  Juniper subsequently learned that Michael Calderhead had been working, and was continuing to work, for CII.

In late 2006 and early 2007, New Wave’s business suddenly, and substantially, declined.  Contracts were lost, customer and vendor relationships were ended, and new business opportunities were not pursued.   New Wave alleged and believes that some former customers of Juniper and New Wave were transferred to CII during this period, and believes that discovery will establish that the Calderheads were involved in soliciting business for CII and soliciting New Wave’s customers and employees were essentially stolen from New Wave.

The substantial declines in New Wave’s business continued throughout early 2007.  These declines were not reported to Juniper’s management in a timely manner and, when they were reported, the declines were not explained in a reasonable or clear manner.  It was not until May, 2007 that Juniper became aware of CII’s growing presence in the marketplace; the involvement of Michael Calderhead in CII’s business; and that CII was directly competing with New Wave for customers.

On May 18, 2007, ten New Wave employees abruptly announced that they were resigning their positions at New Wave.  Most of these former New Wave employees indicated that they would begin work for CII, joining Michael Calderhead. Indeed, in the course of little more than a year from the date that Juniper purchased New Wave from Michael Calderhead and installed the Calderheads as New Wave executives, New Wave had gone from being a growing, profitable business to a business on the verge of financial collapse.

On May 22, 2007, Juniper terminated James Calderhead for cause.  Some, although not all, of the grounds for James Calderhead’s termination are set forth above and in a termination letter.

Juniper seeks injunctions restraining the Calderheads from, among other things, competing with Juniper and New Wave, as well as compensatory damages in the amount believed to be  $10,000,000, punitive damages in the amount of $5,000,000 and attorneys fees, costs and expenses.  On September 29, 2007, the Court issued a preliminary injunction against Michael Calderhead enjoining him from disclosing Juniper/New Wave’s customer list and from soliciting, directly or indirectly, any of Juniper/New Wave’s existing customers; denied the Calderheads’ motion to dismiss the complaint; and granted Juniper’s motion for expedited discovery.

The Calderheads initially appeared pro se, but shortly after the commencement of the lawsuit retained the law firm of Bracken, Margolin & Besunder, LLP.  On June 28, 2008, the Court granted Bracken, Margolin & Besunder, LLP’s motion to withdraw as counsel.  Subsequently the Calderheads again proceeded pro se until January 5, 2010, when they retained the counsel of Jonathan L. Stein, Esq. On July 29, 2010 the Court granted a motion by Mr. Stein to withdraw as counsel, and directed Mr. Stein to serve a notice by personal service on the Calderheads advising them that if they failed to either appear pro se or through counsel within thirty days of receiving said notice, the Court would entertain a motion of default against them.  Mr. Stein served this notice on the Calderheads at their last known addresses on July 30, 2010.

The Calderheads, having failed to appear either pro se or through counsel are in default of the Court’s order.  As a result, the Court respectfully directed the Clerk of the Court to note the default of the Calderheads pursuant to Federal Rule of Procedure 55(a).

Furthermore, on March 1, 2011, the Company moved for a default judgment against the Calderheads pursuant to Federal Rule of Procedure 55(b)(2).  On April 13, 2011 the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a default against Michael Calderhead and James Calderhead, the amount to be determined by United States Magistrate A. Kathleen Tomlinson for an inquest as to damages, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and cost.

New Millennium, et. al. versus Juniper Group, Inc. On June 30, 2009 AJW Partners, LLC, AJW Partners II, LLC, New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, AJW Offshore, Ltd., AJW Offshore II, Ltd., AJW Qualified Partners II, LLC, AJW Master Fund, Ltd., AJW Master Fund II, Ltd., and AJW Qualified Partners, LLC,(collectively referred to as “Millennium et. al.”) sent a notice of default to the Company. Further, on November 2, 2009 the Company received a “Default Notice of Callable Secured Convertible Notes” from Millennium et. al.   The action by Millennium et. al. alleges a breach of terms and condition of the convertible notes as a result of the alleged failure of the Company to issue Common Stock upon receiving notices of conversion.

On December 18, 2009, Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York Index No. 603782/09, New Millennium Capital Partners III, LLC; ASW Partners, LLC; ASW Offshore II, Ltd.; ASW Qualified Partners II, LLC; ASW Master Fund II, Ltd.; (“NIR Group”) filed an action entitled New Millennium, et. al. versus Juniper Group, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York. The complaint alleges breach of the terms of certain convertible debentures and seeks equitable relief and monetary damages of $7.46 million Juniper has denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted counterclaims.  A motion for preliminary injunctive relief is pending. While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims. The NIR Group is the note holder of our Callable Secured Convertible Notes with outstanding principal at December 31, 2010 of approximately $2.4 million.

JMJ Default. Justin Keener d/b/a JMJ Financial versus Juniper Group, Inc.  and Vlado P. Hreljanovic.   On August 6, 2010 Justin Keener filed an action entitled Justin Keener d/b/a JMJ Financial versus Juniper Group, Inc. in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit - Dade County Florida, Case No. 10-42729-CA31. The complaint alleges breach of the terms of a convertible debenture and seeks damages in the amount of approximately $234,000.   Juniper and Vlado P. Hreljanovic have denied the allegations in the complaint and asserted affirmative defenses. While no estimate of the outcome can be made, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will prevail in this matter. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in defending against these claims.

Andrus v. Juniper Group, Inc. The plaintiff in the case is Alan Andrus, the former president of Juniper Internet Communications, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company that is no longer active Mr. Andrus alleges that he is owed approximately $200,000 in unpaid compensation.  He has asserted claims against the Company, Chief Executive Officer Vlado Hreljanovic and Juniper Internet Communications, Inc.

The Company does not dispute that Mr. Andrus was owed compensation and unreimbursed expenses at the time that Juniper Internet Communications ceased operations, but disputes the balance of the amount claimed by the plaintiff.    The Company disputes the allegations in their entirety as to Juniper and Mr. Hreljanovic and is vigorously defending the action.  The case was the subject of a bench trial on March 2nd and 3rd, 2011 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.  The Company anticipates the judge will render a judgment shortly.  The Company estimates that the amount owed by Juniper Internet is $105,000 and is uncollectible as this subsidiary has no assets or income.

Juniper Group, Inc. v. Michael Brown, Donald Johnson, William Furdock, Shanna Smith, Timothy Downs, and Thomas Nyiri .  .  On May 7, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiaries Ryan Pierce Group, Inc. and Tower West Communications, Inc., (“Plaintiffs”) commenced a lawsuit against Michael Brown, Donald Johnson, William Furdock, Shanna Smith, Timothy Downs, and Thomas Nyiri (“Defendants”), former employees and a consultant, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Nassau. The complaint alleges that the Defendants, acting in concert, conspired to divert business and employees from the Company, misappropriate intellectual property belonging to the plaintiffs and maliciously damaged the business of the Company.  The complaint alleges that Defendants solicited the Company’s customer while still in the employ of the Company, used fraud means to cause a mass defection of work crews from its subsidiaries, intentionally damaged the Company’s reputation with its largest customer, misappropriated equipment and abandoned work in progress.  The complaint seeks injunctive relief and compensatory and consequential damages.

The Court issued a temporary restraining injunction and the application for a preliminary injunction was submitted on June 11, 2010.  The Company initially sought to preliminarily enjoin Defendants from working for a competitor of the Company, soliciting its work crews or employing former employees of the Company and returning all property belonging to the Company and expedited disclosure.  The Court granted the preliminary injunction in part and denied in part.  Defendants were ordered to return all property belonging to the Company and other requests for injunctive relief were denied.
 
The Defendants subsequently filed a motion seeking to dismiss the complaint or for summary judgment.  The Plaintiffs opposed the motion which is currently awaiting decision by the Court.  The Company intends to pursue its claim for damages against the Defendants.

Going Concern

The Company did not have sufficient cash to pay for the cost of its operations or to pay its current debt obligations. The Company raised approximately $851,000 in 2010, through the sale of its various convertible securities for working capital, capital purchases and for the repayment of debt. Among the obligations that the Company has not had sufficient cash to pay are its payroll, payroll taxes and the funding of its subsidiary operations. Certain employees and consultants have agreed, from time to time, to receive the Company’s Common Stock in lieu of cash. In these instances, the Company has determined the number of shares to be issued to employees and consultants based upon the unpaid compensation and the current market price of the stock. Additionally, the Company registers these shares so that the shares can immediately be sold in the open market.

 
 
F-18

 

The fact that the Company continued to sustain losses in 2010, had negative working capital at December 31, 2010 and still requires additional sources of outside cash to sustain operations, continued to create uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We believe that we will not have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating cash requirements for the current level of operations during 2011.  In addition, any event of default such as our failure to repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion by the holder, our failure to timely file a registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective, or breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the Securities Purchase Agreement would have an impact on our ability to meet our operating requirements. We anticipate that the full amount of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes will be converted into shares of our Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Callable Secured Convertible Notes. If we are required to repay the Callable Secured Convertible Notes, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when required, the note holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon receiving additional funds either through the issuance of debt or the sale of additional Common Stock and the success of management's plan to expand operations. Although we may obtain external financing through the sale of our securities, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or if available, that any such financing would be on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to fund our cash flow needs, we may have to reduce or stop planned expansion or scale back operations and reduce our staff.
 
The Company has developed a plan to reduce its liabilities and improve cash flow through expanding operations by acquisition and raised additional funds either through issuance of debt or equity. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds either through the issuance of debt or the sale of additional Common Stock and the success of Management's plan to expand operations.

The Company anticipates that it will be able to raise the necessary funds it may require for the remainder of 2011.through public or private sales of securities. If the Company is unable to fund its cash flow needs, the Company may have to reduce or stop planned expansion, or possibly scale back operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Leases

The Company subleases the New York office from Entertainment Financing Inc. (“EFI), an entity 100% owned by our Chief Executive Officer. The master lease and the Company’s sublease on this space expire on November 30, 2016. EFI has agreed that for the term of the sublease the rent paid to it will be substantially the same rent that it pays under its master lease to the landlord. Rent due under the lease with EFI is as follows:

                            Year
Amount
2011
$67,200
2012
$69,200
2013
$71,300
2014
$73,400
2015
$75,600
Thereafter
$71,400

NOTE 10 - Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no provision was made for Federal and state income taxes due to the losses incurred during these years. As a result of losses incurred through December 31, 2010, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $32.7million. These carry forwards expire through 2030.

The Company recognized deferred tax assets of approximately $13.3 million at December 31, 2010. The Company is dependent on future taxable income to realize deferred tax assets. Due to the uncertainty regarding their utilization in the future, the Company has recorded a related valuation allowance of $13.3million of  deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 primarily reflect the tax effect of net operating loss carry forwards.

NOTE 11 - New Wave Communications

On December 30, 2005, Juniper Services entered into a binding Letter of Intent with New Wave providing for the purchase by Juniper Services of all outstanding shares of New Wave. New Wave’s business is the deployment, construction and maintenance of wireless communications towers and related equipment. Services agreed to pay New Wave $817,000 as follows: $225,000 in cash and $592,000 paid by the issuance of 19,734 shares of Series B Voting Preferred Stock. On March 16, 2006, Services consummated the acquisition of New Wave by entering into a Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with New Wave.

On November 7, 2008, as a result of the acts of certain disloyal employees New Wave filed for bankruptcy under Chapter XI of the US Code. That filing was voluntarily dismissed at the request of New Wave on March 6, 2009. New Wave’s assets have been seized by its creditors and many of its liabilities remain outstanding.
