INTERNET AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to achieve a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Internet America, Inc. (the “Company”) for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

2.
Principals of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, TeleShare Communication Services, Inc. (“TeleShare”).  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

3.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, 2,718,428 shares of common stock equivalents have been added to the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding assuming that all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), as of July 1, 2010, for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).  For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, no common share equivalents for the Preferred Stock were included in the diluted weighted average common shares because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the Company recognizing a net loss during these periods.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, options and warrants to purchase 1,918,366 and 1,233,366 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options and warrants were not “in the money” and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  There were no options exercised to purchase shares of Common Stock during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

There are no adjustments required to be made to net income (loss) for the purpose of computing basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011.

4.
Use of Estimates

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

5.
Goodwill and Subscriber Acquisition Costs

The Company allocates the purchase price for acquisitions to acquired subscriber bases and goodwill based on fair value at the time of acquisition.  Subscriber acquisition costs, net of amortization, totaled $295,776 and $327,435, as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.  The weighted average amortization period for subscriber acquisition costs is 48 months for both dial-up and wireless broadband Internet customers.  Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $88,191 and $251,731, respectively, and $85,514 and $275,492 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.  As of March 31, 2011, amortization expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 is expected to be approximately $343,000, $59,000, $55,000, $55,000 and $35,000, respectively.

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on goodwill and other intangibles the Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when events and circumstances indicate goodwill might be permanently impaired.  During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded no impairment of goodwill.  No circumstances arose during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 that would indicate goodwill might be permanently impaired.

On February 11, 2011, the Company acquired subscribers from one of its resellers for total acquisition price of $222,032, consisting of $100,000 in cash and $122,032 in a note payable to the seller due May 3, 2013, payable in monthly installments of $5,085.  As the note payable does not bear interest, the Company imputed interest at a rate of 8.5%, which was recorded as a debt discount of $10,172 that will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.  Legal fees of $8,212 related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred.

7.     Noncontrolling Interest and Transfer of Assets

During July 2009, Mark and Cynthia Ocker (the “Owners”) surrendered 298,119 escrowed shares of Common Stock in exchange for a promissory note issued by the Company (the “Exchange Note”).  In March 2010, the Company modified the terms of the Exchange Note and the original promissory note issued to the Owners in connection with the Company’s acquisition of TeleShare.  In consideration for such note modifications, the Company granted the Owners an option to exchange their noncontrolling interest in TeleShare, then a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, for certain assets and customer lists owned by TeleShare.
 
During July 2010, the Owners exercised this option and exchanged their noncontrolling interest in TeleShare for certain assets of TeleShare and the assumption of certain liabilities of TeleShare, with a net book value of $25,203. The Company recognized a loss of $26,004 on the transfer of these assets.  As a result of this transaction, TeleShare became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The surrender of the noncontrolling interest resulted in an increase to additional paid in capital and elimination of the noncontrolling interest

8.     Shareholders’ Equity

On October 6, 2010, a holder of Preferred Stock elected to convert 170,648 shares of such holder’s Preferred Stock with a book value of $100,000 into 170,648 shares of Common Stock.
 
On September 7, 2010, February 10, 2011 and February 18, 2011, the Company granted stock options to certain employees of the Company to purchase 190,000, 50,000 and 250,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.  These options will vest on the later to occur of (i) six months following the date of grant and (ii) the date that the closing price of the Common Stock for a period of 30 consecutive trading days averages $1.00 per share or more, and will expire ten years after date of grant, pursuant to the terms set forth in the written option agreements executed and delivered to the recipients of such options.  The Company valued these options at $0.05 per stock option.  As of March 31, 2011, 81,634 stock options were available for future issuance under the Company’s current stock option plan.

9.
Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company generated a net loss of $11,000 and net income of $75,000, respectively.  During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company generated a net loss of $159,000 and $945,000, respectively.   As of March 31, 2011, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets.  Given its limited history of generating net income, the Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These statements, identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy.  These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements.  We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information.  Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and other publicly filed reports discuss some additional important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are also discussed in this Report under the heading “Safe Harbor Statement and Risk Factors” later in this Item 2.

Overview

     In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we continued to focus on profitability and process improvement throughout the organization.  During the quarter, we added several positions to fill out our management structure.  These additions have allowed us to facilitate active discussions with numerous potential acquisitions and to formulate an aggressive reseller program.  We intend to remain highly selective when using any of our excess cash flow for strategic acquisitions and improvements in the current network and infrastructure.  In the near and medium term, we expect continuing improvement of profits as we focus on sales and expense management.  Additionally, we will continue to pursue upgrades to our systems that will result in higher speeds and increased reliability for our customers.

Statement of Operations

Internet services revenue is derived from dial-up Internet access, including analog and ISDN access, DSL access, dedicated connectivity, wireless access, bulk dial-up access, web hosting services, and value-added services, such as multiple e-mail boxes, personalized e-mail addresses and Fax-2-Email services.   In addition to miscellaneous revenue, other revenue includes telex messaging service revenues.  However, effective July 1, 2010, the telex messaging business was transferred to the former TeleShare owners.

A brief description of each element of our operating expenses follows:

Connectivity and operations expenses consist primarily of setup costs for new subscribers, telecommunication costs, merchant processing fees and wages of network operations and customer support personnel. Connectivity costs include (i) fees paid to telephone companies for subscribers' dial-up connections to our network; (ii) fees paid to backbone providers for connections from our network to the Internet; and (iii) equipment and tower lease costs for our new wireless networks.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of creative and production costs, costs of media placement, management salaries and call center wages. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative salaries, professional services, rent and other general office and business expenses.

Bad debt expense (recoveries) consists primarily of customer accounts that have been deemed uncollectible and will potentially be written off in future periods, net of recoveries.  Historically, the expense has been based on the aging of customer accounts whereby all customer accounts that are 90 days or older have been provided for as a bad debt expense.

 Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line or double declining method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the capital lease term, as appropriate.  Data communications equipment, computers, data servers and office equipment are depreciated over five years. We depreciate furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements over the shorter of five years or the lease term.  Buildings are depreciated over fifteen years. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of subscriber acquisition costs, which are amortized over four years.

Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

(3)    Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Total revenue.  Total revenue decreased by $146,000, or 7.8%, to $1,728,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $1,874,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The Company’s total subscriber count decreased by 1,200, or 4.6%, to 25,000 as of March 31, 2011 compared to 26,200 as of March 31, 2010.  The Company’s wireless broadband Internet subscriber count decreased by 400, or 4.8%, to approximately 8,000 as of March 31, 2011, from 8,400 as of March 31, 2010. Wireless broadband Internet revenue increased by $32,000 to $1,220,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase in wireless broadband Internet revenues was offset by the decrease in dial-up Internet subscriber counts and related revenue of $133,000, which is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other high-speed providers’ broadband service. In addition, effective July 1, 2010, the Company transferred its messaging business assets to Cynthia and Mark Ocker, which totaled $45,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, comprising the remainder of the period-to-period decrease.

Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $162,000, or 13.1%, to $1,072,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $1,234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Salaries, wages and related personnel expense decreased by $101,000 to $472,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $573,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which is attributed mainly to the reduction in headcount to streamline our efficiencies gained from quality process initiatives.  Data and telecommunications expense decreased by $41,000 to $330,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $371,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to decreased call volume made by improvements in our systems and renegotiating more favorable terms with telecommunications service providers.  Expensed assets decreased by $25,000 to $79,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $104,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to a decrease in supplies, installation costs and repairs. The decreases in the previously discussed expenses were offset by an increase in rents/utilities and tower lease of $5,000 due to improvements in the Company's wireless broadband infrastructure and increases in tower rental rates.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $24,000, or 32.4%, to $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Salaries, wages and related personnel costs decreased by approximately $24,000 to $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which is attributed mainly to the reduction in headcount to streamline our efficiencies gained from quality process initiatives.

General and administrative.  General and administrative expense decreased by $166,000, or 32.5%, to $344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $510,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Professional and consulting fees decreased by $103,000 to $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $151,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to the disposal of the telex messaging services business and the reduction of outside contract/consulting labor.  Personnel costs decreased by $32,000 to $95,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to a reduction in the number of employees, including consolidation of the roles and functions of the COO, CFO and the Vice President of Marketing and Sales.  Other general and administrative costs decreased by $20,000 to $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to a recorded loss on customer premises equipment (“CPE”) held for sale in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 in addition to decreased bank fees and miscellaneous office expenses.  Rent and utilities expenses decreased by $8,000 to $43,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $51,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to the renegotiation of our phone system lease contract and the closing of storage facilities. Telecommunications expense decreased by $4,000 to $49,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to cancelling the Company’s cell phone plan and providing a monthly allowance to our employees.  Insurance expenses decreased slightly by $2,000 to $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The expense related to the issuance of stock options and directors’ fees decreased by $1,000 to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to the termination of employment of some grantees. These decreases were offset by a $4,000 increase in travel and mileage for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year period.

Provision for bad debt expense (recovery).  Recovery for bad debt expense increased by $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  As of March 31, 2011, we are fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased by $13,000, or 5.2%, to $264,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $251,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This increase is due to an $11,000 increase in depreciation relating to the improvements in existing wireless broadband Internet infrastructure and a net increase of $2,000 in amortization expense resulting from an increase in subscriber acquisition cost of $220,000 related to the Company’s acquisition of subscribers from one of the Company’s resellers during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that was mostly offset by a decrease in amortization expense due to the acquired subscriber costs from the Company’s prior wireless acquisitions in fiscal 2005 and 2006 becoming fully amortized following the prior year period.

Gain from restructuring of debt.  Gain from restructuring of debt totaled $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Mark and Cynthia Ocker and the Company entered into amendments to the notes payable originally issued to them in connection with the acquisition of TeleShare. These amendments extended the payment terms and also reduced the interest rate and carrying value slightly resulting in a one-time gain.

Interest income and expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded interest expense of $12,000 and $18,000, respectively.  The $6,000 decrease in interest expense is the result of the reduction in the Company’s long-term debt.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded interest income of $2,000.

(3)   Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

   Total revenue.  Total revenue decreased by $317,000, or 5.7%, to $5,229,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, from $5,546,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 The Company’s total subscriber count decreased by 1,200, or 4.6%, to 25,000 as of March 31, 2011 compared to 26,200 as of March 31, 2010.  The Company’s wireless broadband Internet subscriber count decreased by 400, or 4.8%, to approximately 8,000 as of March 31, 2011, from 8,400 as of March 31, 2010. Wireless broadband Internet revenue increased by $150,000 to $3,619,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $3,469,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in wireless broadband Internet revenues was offset by the decrease in dial-up Internet subscriber counts and related revenue of $341,000, which is attributed to the loss of dial-up customers moving to other high-speed providers’ broadband service. In addition, effective July 1, 2010, the Company transferred its messaging business assets to Cynthia and Mark Ocker, which totaled $126,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, comprising the remainder of the period-to-period decrease.

Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $560,000, or 14.8%, to $3,217,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, from $3,777,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  Salaries, wages and related personnel expense decreased by $302,000 to $1,431,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,733,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, which is attributed mainly to the reduction in headcount to streamline our efficiencies gained from quality process initiatives. Data and telecommunications expense decreased by $128,000 to $988,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,116,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 due to our renegotiating more favorable terms with telecommunications service providers.  Installation expenses decreased by $104,000 to $241,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $345,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 due to decreases in supplies, installation costs and repairs.  Other expenses decreased by $33,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year period related to a one-time conversion cost related to transfer email services to a hosted outsource service provider incurred during the prior year period.  The remaining decrease in expense primarily related to a decrease in merchant fees of $3,000, which is a result of the decrease in revenues.
 
The decreases in the previously discussed expenses were partially offset by an increase in facilities and tower lease costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2011of $9,000 to $359,000, compared to $350,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 due to improvements in the Company’s wireless broadband infrastructure and increases in tower rental rates.  There was a slight increase in travel and mileage costs by $1,000 to $80,000 as of March 31, 2011 compared to $79,000 as of March 31, 2010.
 
Sales and marketing.

Advertising expense decreased by $14,000 to $28,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $42,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to the Company bringing all direct advertising related expenses in-house to streamline cost and focus on all improved or enhanced network areas.  

General and administrative.  General and administrative expense decreased by $781,000, or 44.9%, to $958,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, from $1,739,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  In February 2010, the Company recorded a write off expense for direct costs of $194,000 incurred in connection with the Company’s contemplated merger with KeyOn that was not completed.

Salaries and wages decreased $305,000 to $259,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $564,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the number of employees, including the consolidation of the roles and functions of the COO, CFO and the Vice President of Marketing and Sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  In addition, the Company incurred a non-recurring expense in the September 2009 quarter totaling $120,000 in connection with our application for a grant under the ARRA to expand access to broadband into areas in Southeast Texas adjacent to existing operations.  Other general and administrative costs decreased by $62,000 to $141,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $203,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to decreased bank fees and miscellaneous office expenses. Facilities costs decreased by $43,000 to $137,000 as of March 31, 2011 compared to $180,000 as of March 31, 2010 primarily due to the renegotiation of our phone system lease contract and the closing of storage facilities.  The expense related to the issuance of stock options and directors’ fees decreased by $39,000 to $64,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $103,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 due to termination of employment of some grantees.  Telecommunications expense decreased by $20,000 to $140,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 from $160,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 due to cancelling the Company’s cell phone plan and providing a monthly allowance to our employees.

The above decreases were offset slightly by an increase in travel and mileage expenses of $2,000 to $10,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $8,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Provision for bad debt expense (recovery).  Recovery for bad debt expense decreased by $1,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company is fully reserved for all customer accounts that are at least 90 days old.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased by $12,000, or 1.6%, to $767,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, from $755,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  A decrease of $24,000 in amortization expense was offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $36,000. The increase in depreciation relates to the decrease in fully depreciated assets still in use, offset by the improvement of the Company’s wireless broadband Internet network.  The decrease in amortization expense of acquired subscriber costs is the result of early wireless acquisitions in fiscal 2006 and 2007 becoming fully amortized during the prior year period, partially offset by amortization of subscriber acquisition costs related to the acquisition of subscribers during February 2011.

Loss from transfer of assets.  During July 2010, former owners of TeleShare surrendered their noncontrolling interest in exchange for $25,000 of certain assets and liabilities of TeleShare. The Company recognized a loss of $26,000 on the transfer of these assets.
 
Gain from restructuring of debt.  Gain from restructuring of debt totaled $52,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Mark and Cynthia Ocker and the Company entered into amendments to the notes payable originally issued to them in connection with the acquisition of TeleShare. These amendments extended the payment terms and also reduced the interest rate and carrying value slightly resulting in a one-time gain.

Interest income and expense. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded interest expense of $41,000 and $63,000, respectively.  The $22,000 decrease in interest expense is the result of the reduction in the Company’s long-term debt. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded interest income of $5,000 and $9,000, respectively. The $4,000 decrease in interest income is due to lower levels of cash and cash equivalents and lower interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations to date primarily through (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) public and private sales of equity securities and (iii) loans from shareholders and third parties.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 the Company recognized net income and positive cash flows from operations of $75,000 and $857,000, respectively, enabling the Company to fund its operations from current period operating cash flows and resulting in cash on hand of $1,400,000 at March 31, 2011.  The Company expects to continue to fund its operations during fiscal 2011 with cash flows from operations.  The Company will continue to focus on sales and expense management during fiscal 2011 and expects continuing improvement in profits in the near and medium term.

The Company plans to pursue strategic acquisitions in the near and medium term in addition to upgrading its systems to provide higher speeds and increased reliability for our customers.  We expect capital expenditures and any future acquisitions will be funded with available cash, public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or borrowing from commercial banks and/or third parties; however there is no assurance that such financing will be able to be obtained when needed at desirable rate which could affect our success in achieving any or all of our initiatives.  Any unexpected decreases in revenue or subscriber count may adversely affect our liquidity and plans for future growth.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities is net income or loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, cash provided by operations was $857,000 compared to cash used in operations of $389,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net income (loss) plus non-cash items provided was $884,000 compared to $166,000 used for the same period last year.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $27,000 and of $223,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $322,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 which relates primarily to the deployment of new wireless broadband Internet infrastructure and cash paid for subscriber acquisitions. Cash used in investing activities totaled $251,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, which related to the deployment of new wireless broadband Internet infrastructure.

Cash used in financing activities, totaled $345,000 and $502,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively, and consisted of principal payments on debt and capital leases.

Cash on hand increased by $190,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  At March 31, 2011, cash on hand was $1,400,000 compared to $1,210,000 at June 30, 2010.    We believe our continued efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of our operations over the past few months along with additional value-added services such as desktop video conferencing and VoIP may lead to a more rapid rate of growth and an increase average revenue per user and result in improved cash flow from operations.
