FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. (“LNSI”) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include information that is based upon our beliefs and information currently available to us, as well as our estimates and assumptions with respect to future events. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations, and any businesses that may be acquired by us. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Item 1. Business.

The Company

LNSI, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“Lightyear LLC”), and SE Acquisitions, LLC d/b/a Lightyear Network Solutions of Kentucky, a Kentucky limited liability company (“Lightyear-KY”) (collectively, “Lightyear” or the “Company”) provides telecommunications services throughout the United States primarily through a distribution network of authorized agents. In addition to long distance and local service, we currently offer a wide array of telecommunications products and services including internet/intranet, calling cards, advanced data, conferencing, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) services and wireless services. Lightyear LLC also operates in Puerto Rico through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lightyear Alliance of Puerto Rico, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company, whose operations are insignificant.

Business History and Description

LNSI, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, currently serves approximately 70,000 customer locations with a significant concentration in the five-state area of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Florida and Georgia

Lightyear LLC, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of LY Holdings, LLC (“LY Holdings”), has conducted operations in substantially its present form since 2004.

In February 2010, LY Holdings entered into a reverse merger transaction with Libra Alliance Corporation (“Libra”). Libra was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 5, 1997 to become an Internet service provider for small-to mid-sized businesses, but ceased operations in 2001. Through the reverse merger transaction, LY Holdings exchanged 100% of the equity of Lightyear LLC for 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 9,500,000 shares of convertible preferred stock of Libra, and certain holders of debt securities of LY Holdings exchanged those securities for 3,242,533 shares of common stock of Libra. As a result of these transactions, LY Holdings and the former holders of LY Holdings’ debt securities held approximately 69% and 11.5%, respectively, of Libra’s then outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis and Libra held all of the equity of Lightyear LLC.

Upon completion of the reverse merger transaction, Libra began operating Lightyear’s business of providing telecommunications services. On April 12, 2010, Libra was renamed “Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc.”

The reverse merger transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, with Lightyear LLC being treated as the acquiring company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of Lightyear LLC and were recorded at the historical cost basis of Lightyear LLC. Reports filed by Libra prior to February 2010 do not reflect our current operations.

On October 1, 2010, LNSI, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lightyear-KY, purchased the business assets of SouthEast Telephone, Inc. (“SETEL”), a Kentucky corporation, from SETEL’s bankruptcy estate for approximately $9.3 million , consisting of approximately $0.4 million in cash, 200,000 shares of LNSI common stock, valued at approximately $1.0 million, and the assumption of $7.9 million of liabilities, which included approximately $4.3 million of indebtedness and capital lease obligations. Lightyear-KY initially operated under the d/b/a SouthEast Telephone until October 1, 2011, when the entity started operating as Lightyear Network Solutions of Kentucky in order to consolidate operations under one brand name.

On November 4, 2011, LNSI, LY Holdings and Chris Sullivan, an LNSI director (“Sullivan”), entered into an Intercompany Obligations Settlement Agreement (the “Intercompany Agreement”). Pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement, LY Holdings surrendered all 9,500,000 shares of the LNSI convertible preferred stock owned by it (plus its right to $2,232,110 of accrued but undeclared and unpaid preferred stock dividends), which shares of convertible preferred stock have been canceled and retired, in complete satisfaction of LY Holdings’ principal indebtedness to LNSI of $12,899,980. Immediately after the consummation of the Intercompany Agreement, LY Holdings owned 10,000,000 shares, or 45.27%, of LNSI’s outstanding common stock.

Operations

We sell our services primarily through our direct sales force and agents.

Direct Sales

Our direct sales force focuses on selling our services to residential and small office/home office customers and currently has approximately 7,360 representatives nationwide. Direct sales accounted for approximately 14% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Direct sales representatives execute a non-exclusive representative agreement with us with no geographic restriction and a one-year term, renewable annually. Representatives pay a nominal fee to be our representative and are compensated based on the customers and other representatives that they bring to Lightyear. Representative agreements contain non-solicitation provisions designed to prevent representatives from moving Lightyear end users to different carriers and from soliciting other Lightyear representatives.

Agents

Our agents range from one-person shops to large, multi-office companies. Agents use relationship sales efforts to increase distribution of our products to the small-to-medium-sized business market. Agents serve as telecom consultants for their customers who often lack the budgetary means to employ personnel to manage their telecom resources. As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately 150 authorized agents. Our agents accounted for approximately 86% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Agents execute agreements with us, providing for them to earn one-time up-front payments and monthly commissions based on the type of service sold and the length of the term of the agreement. Agent agreements are non-exclusive and contain no geographic restrictions; however, the agreements contain non-solicitation provisions designed to prevent agents from moving Lightyear end users to a different carrier. Agent agreements are typically for a three-to five-year term and are subject to termination if the agent fails to follow our policies and procedures or if the agent fails to satisfy a certain revenue target.

Products and Services

We offer a broad range of telecommunications products for both residential and business customers including:

Switched and dedicated long distance

Local phone service

VoIP

Digital Subscriber Line (“DSL”)

Integrated Access services

Frame relay

Nationwide Internet access (dial-up and dedicated access)

Web hosting and development services

Call analysis software for customized billing reports

Multimedia conferencing services

Direct Sales services for organizations who wish to sell telecom products within a private label program

Wireless telephones and comprehensive service plans offered through our wholesale agreements.

Telecommunications Services Agreements

We have maintained a telecommunications service agreement (the “TSA”) and a digital service agreement (collectively with the TSA, the “Service Agreements”) with Verizon Business Services f/k/a MCI Network Services, Inc.(“Verizon”) since 1994 for switched services, data services and other associated services, including most of the products which we provide, as listed above. Each of the Service Agreements has been amended multiple times, primarily for the purpose of updating available calling or usage rates, but also for purposes of changing the provisions of those documents relating to such items as: increasing purchase minimums, including additional products offered and extending their terms. On July 26, 2011, Verizon acknowledged that Lightyear had satisfied a $140,000,000 spending obligation under the terms of a modified service agreement entered into by the parties on November 5, 2003, as amended.

In November 2010, we entered an agreement with Sprint allowing us to work directly with Sprint to sell both pre-paid and post-paid wireless services utilizing the Sprint network. Under this agreement, we may receive marketing allowances and sales credits if certain sales thresholds are satisfied. We also maintain a wholesale agreement with ZefCom, LLC d/b/a Telispire (“Telispire”) that allows us to sell wireless services utilizing the Sprint and Verizon Wireless Networks. Neither the Sprint nor Telispire agreement contains any minimum purchase requirements.

As part of the acquisition of the assets of SETEL (the “Sale Transaction”) on October 1, 2010, we assumed certain of SETEL’s agreements with BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., d/b/a AT&T of Kentucky (“AT&T”) and with Windstream Kentucky East, LLC (“Windstream”), described as follows:

Under the AT&T Interconnection Agreement, which terminates on February 12, 2014, the parties established terms for the provision of certain services and functions for the purpose of determining the rates, terms, and conditions for the interconnection of the parties’ telecommunications networks within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Under the AT&T Commercial Agreement, which terminates on December 31, 2014 (as amended on December 15, 2011), the parties established the rates, terms, and conditions under which local exchange services are provided to our customers. We make weekly prepayments for services (less anticipated credits) which are reconciled on a monthly basis. We maintain a deposit of $0.6 million with AT&T which covers both the AT&T Interconnection Agreement and the AT&T Commercial Agreement.

The Windstream Interconnection Agreement, which terminates on October 31, 2012 (as amended on September 9, 2011), establishes terms for the provision of certain services and functions for the purpose of determining the rates, terms, and conditions for the interconnection of the parties’ telecommunications networks within certain areas in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Windstream Commercial Agreement establishes the rates, terms, and conditions under which Windstream provides access to its switching capability which we, in turn, use to provide local exchange service to our customers. We maintain a deposit of $85,000 with Windstream covering both the Windstream Interconnection Agreement and the Windstream Commercial Agreement.

Customers

Our customers range from residential customers to large businesses. Our target customers are small to medium sized businesses, often with multiple locations with average monthly telecom billings of approximately $500 to $1,000. In addition, we market our services to residential customers with average billings of $50 per month, using our local service, long distance, calling card and VoIP services, as well as VoIP hardware under the brand Lightyear XStream. We market our wireless telephone voice and data services to business and residential customers as well as to large enterprise customers with average monthly billings of approximately $76 per wireless unit.

Vendor Companies

We work with a number of companies to provide products and services to our customers. We have relationships with Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Windstream, XO Communications, Level 3, Qwest and Cisco.

These vendor agreements do not in general contain material minimum purchase requirements and generally provide that the vendor can change the rates charged upon 30 days or 60 days notice to us.

Regulatory Matters

We are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) as a non-dominant carrier subject to regulation under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to our interstate services, including the use of our local phone lines and Integrated Access services to originate or terminate interstate long-distance calls for other carriers. The FCC requires all telecommunications service providers, including non-dominant carriers such as Lightyear, to maintain authorizations to provide or resell domestic long distance and international services. In most states, we may not begin to provide local and intrastate telecommunications services until we obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the state public utility commission and comply with applicable state regulations, including, in most states, the requirement to file tariffs setting forth our terms and conditions for providing services. Several of the states in which we operate require public utility commission approval before the transfer of a carrier’s authority to operate within the state, the transfer of its assets to a new entity, or a change in the control of an entity that controls a carrier operating within the state. The FCC also prohibits carriers from selling, assigning, or transferring control of their interstate and international operating authorizations without its prior approval. In addition, our direct sales efforts are subject to a number of federal and state regulations administered by the FTC and various state agencies in the United States.

Acquisition and Organic Growth Strategy

We intend to increase our revenue and earnings via a combination of organic and acquisition growth. We intend to grow organically by expanding our revenue base from agents through creative marketing and incentive plans, new carrier partnerships and enhancements to our wireless, VoIP and data products lines which complement our history of selling landline services.

We intend to acquire small to mid-sized competitors and thereby aggregate revenue, and increase earnings through the elimination of duplicate costs. Each series of acquisitions will be followed by a period of integration and consolidation. Potential acquisition candidates are expected to meet specific criteria including the following:

Supporting or providing Cloud based services;

EBITDA positive;

Trained technical staff meeting our internal requirements and the requirements of our customers.

We anticipate entering into non-binding letters of intent with target candidates to set forth the basic business terms of potential acquisitions, which will usually be subject to various closing conditions, including due diligence, the negotiation of definitive acquisition documents, regulatory consents and other customary matters. Factors which may affect future acquisition decisions include the quality and potential profitability of the business under consideration, and our profitability and ability to finance the transaction.

We continue to review opportunities for expansion of our network. Criteria for future builds would include the immediate and substantial reduction of cost of goods sold or support of a committed revenue stream.

Competition

The telecommunications industry is very competitive. In general, we compete with national facilities-based and non-facilities based telecom service providers, wireless and otherwise, and their pre-paid affiliates or brands, local and regional carriers, non-facilities-based mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), VoIP service providers and traditional landline service providers.

In the wireless segment we compete with regional and national providers including AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, all of which sell products and services to consumers in our markets.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, we employed 166 people on a full-time basis. No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Intellectual Property

We maintain various intellectual properties, including technology, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks in the United States. Lightyear has several registered trademarks, including the Lightyear name and logo.

Website

We maintain a website at www.lightyear.net. The reference to this web address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at this site, should not be deemed to constitute a part of this filing, and should not be relied upon in any manner whatsoever by any potential investor.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this report that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of Lightyear Common Stock could decline, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment.

In this discussion of the “Risks Related To Lightyear’s Business And Financial Condition,” unless otherwise noted or required by the context, references to “ us ,” “ we ,” “ our ,” “ Lightyear, ” “ the Company ,” and similar terms refer to Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC, and SE Acquisitions, LLC d/b/a Lightyear Network Solutions of Kentucky.

Risks Related to Lightyear’s Business and Financial Condition

Lightyear has Experienced Net Losses, and May Not Be Profitable in the Future.

Lightyear’s business has incurred significant losses since inception. We may continue to incur losses in the current year and possibly thereafter. Such losses would likely have an adverse effect on stockholders’ equity and working capital.

Because of the various risks and uncertainties associated with our business, Lightyear cannot predict the extent of any future losses or when it will become profitable, if at all. Unless Lightyear can secure financing or become profitable, Lightyear may be forced to cease operations or to seek insolvency protection.

To Fund Its Working Capital Needs and Capital Expenditures, Lightyear May Require Additional Cash Beyond What is Generated from Operations, and the Ability to Generate Cash Depends on Many Factors Beyond Lightyear’s Control

Lightyear’s ability to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures will depend upon future operating performance and on the ability to generate cash flow in the future, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond Lightyear’s control. The business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future financings may not be available in amounts sufficient to enable Lightyear to fund its liquidity needs. If the cash flow from operating activities is insufficient, Lightyear may take actions, such as delaying or reducing capital expenditures, selling assets or operations or seeking debt financing or additional equity capital. Any or all of these actions may be insufficient to allow Lightyear to fund its capital needs. Further, Lightyear may be unable to take any of these actions on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If Lightyear is unable to fund its working capital needs, Lightyear may be forced to cease operations or to seek insolvency protection.

Recent Disruptions in the Financial Markets Could Affect Lightyear’s Ability to Obtain Debt or Equity Financing On Reasonable Terms (or At All), and Could Have Other Adverse Effects.

Lightyear will need to raise significant capital to finance business expansion activities. Our ability to raise debt or equity capital in the public or private markets could be impaired by various factors. For example, U.S. credit markets have recently experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions which have caused the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of debt financing. Continued uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact the ability to access debt financing. These events in the credit markets have also had an adverse effect on other financial markets in the U.S., which may make it more difficult or costly to raise capital through the issuance of other equity securities. Any of these risks could impair Lightyear’s ability to fund operations or limit its ability to expand its business, which could have a material adverse effect on financial results.

Lightyear’s Strategy of Growth Through Acquisitions May Be Subject to Serious Setbacks and May Be More Expensive or Time-Consuming Than Expected.

Lightyear currently plans to expand its business and revenue sources through a series of acquisitions. Acquisitions are subject to serious legal and operational risks, including the inability of the acquirer to combine the target’s business with its own in an efficient manner, the assumption of liabilities (whether known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed) of the target and the incurrence of substantial transaction costs. Changing market conditions may require Lightyear to pay more money for prospective target companies than currently anticipated and regulatory clearances and other issues may result in the acquisitions taking more time than currently projected.

Lightyear’s Revenues for VoIP and Wireless Services are Subject to Third Party Obligations Which are Likely to Reduce Lightyear’s Profitability.

In consideration of their lending funds to LY Holdings for investment in Lightyear’s VoIP and wireless services products, LY Holdings and Lightyear LLC executed letter agreements with certain of the LY Holdings members providing for, in addition to principal and interest payments on LY Holdings’ accompanying notes, an amount each month equal to 4.0% of the gross commissionable monthly revenue from the sales of VoIP service offerings and 3.0% of the gross commissionable monthly revenue from the sales of wireless service offerings. The wireless letter agreements have terms of ten years, beginning in 2008, and the VoIP letter agreements have terms of ten years, beginning in 2004, unless such agreements are terminated early due to a sale of all or substantially all of LY Holdings. Upon an early termination event, Lightyear LLC would be obligated to pay the respective LY Holdings member a termination fee in the amount totaling the sum of the payments under each contract for the immediately preceding twelve full months.

Lightyear May Not Be Successful in Increasing Its Customer Base Which Would Negatively Affect Its Business Plans and Financial Outlook.

Lightyear’s growth reflects general economic trends in customer activity, promotional activity, competition in the telecommunications market, pace of new product launches, and varying national economic conditions. Lightyear’s current business plans assume that it will increase its customer base over time, providing Lightyear with increased economies of scale. If Lightyear is unable to attract and retain a growing customer base, our current business plans and financial outlook may be harmed.

Lightyear Is the Holder of a Note from LY Holdings in the Amount of Approximately $1.3 Million That May Not Be Collectible. Lightyear Is Also Obligated on a Promissory Note to Sullivan Which Could Allow Him to Exert Disproportionate Influence Over Our Activities.

Lightyear holds a note issued by LY Holdings, its largest shareholder. LY Holdings has no significant assets other than Lightyear equity. If LY Holdings is unable to pay principal and interest when due, then the LY Holdings promissory note may have a fair market value of significantly less than the principal amount of approximately $1.3 million and may be uncollectible in the ordinary course of business, if at all.

Additionally, Lightyear is obligated to make payments of principal and interest to Sullivan under a note issued by Lightyear These payments represent a significant cash expenditure for Lightyear. If Lightyear defaulted on these payments, payment of the accelerated indebtedness would have a significant adverse impact upon Lightyear’s cash reserves and could affect Lightyear’s ability to fund its operations.

As a result of the substantial indebtedness owed to Sullivan, Sullivan may be able to exert disproportionate influence over Lightyear’s activities and operations.

Officers, Directors and Affiliated Entities Have Substantial Influence over Lightyear’s Affairs, and Ownership of Lightyear’s Largest Shareholder Is Highly Concentrated.

Lightyear’s directors and entities affiliated with its directors in the aggregate beneficially own a significant amount of the equity of Lightyear. These individuals have direct influence over all matters requiring approval by Lightyear’s stockholders. These individuals will be able to influence the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Lightyear’s assets and other matters. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or impeding a merger or consolidation, takeover or other business combination.

Lightyear’s Business Could Be Adversely Affected By General Economic Conditions; If Lightyear Experiences Low Rates of Customer Acquisition or High Rates of Customer Turnover, Its Ability to Become Profitable Will Decrease.

Business could be adversely affected in a number of ways by general economic conditions, including interest rates, consumer credit conditions, unemployment and other macro-economic factors. The economic slowdown that began in the last quarter of 2007 may also affect Lightyear’s ability to gain new customers or the ability of existing customers to pay for their service. In addition, Lightyear’s rate of customer acquisition and turnover may be affected by other factors, including the size of its calling areas, network performance and reliability issues, handset or service offerings (including the ability of customers to cost-effectively roam onto other wireless networks), customer care concerns, phone number portability, and other competitive factors. A high rate of customer turnover or low rate of new customer acquisition would reduce revenues and increase the total marketing expenditures required to attract the minimum number of customers required to sustain the business plan which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increasing Competition Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Demand for the Products and Services Offered by Lightyear.

The telecommunications industry is very competitive. In general, Lightyear competes with national facilities-based wireless providers and their prepaid affiliates or brands, local and regional carriers, non-facilities-based mobile virtual network operators, VoIP service providers and traditional landline service providers.

Many of these competitors often have greater name and brand recognition, access to greater amounts of capital and established relationships with a larger base of current and potential customers. Because of their size and bargaining power, larger competitors may be able to purchase equipment, supplies and services at lower prices than Lightyear can.

These competitors may also offer potential customers more features and options in their service plans than those currently provided by Lightyear, as well as new technologies and/or alternative delivery plans.

These competitive offerings could adversely affect Lightyear’s ability to maintain pricing and increase or maintain market penetration and may have a material adverse effect on financial results.

Failure to Keep Pace with Rapidly Changing Markets for Wireless Communications would Significantly Harm Lightyear’s Business.

The technology and markets for wireless communications services change rapidly. Lightyear’s success depends, in part, on its ability to respond and adapt to change. Lightyear may be unable to compete effectively under, or adjust its contemplated plan of development to meet, changing market conditions. Lightyear cannot guarantee that it will be able to implement its strategy or that its strategy will be successful in these rapidly evolving markets. The markets for wireless communications services are also marked by the continuous introduction of new products and services and increased capacity for services similar to those Lightyear provides. Technological advances may also increase the efficiency of existing products or services. If a technology becomes available that is more cost-effective or creates a superior product, Lightyear may be unable to access this technology or finance the necessary substantial capital expenditures that may be required. Lightyear’s technology may be rendered less profitable or less viable by existing, proposed or as yet undeveloped technologies. Lightyear cannot guarantee that it will have the financial and other resources available to compete effectively against companies possessing such technologies. Lightyear cannot guarantee that it can adapt to technological changes or offer products or services on a timely basis to establish or maintain a competitive position.

If Lightyear Is Unable to Manage Planned Growth, Its Operations Could Be Adversely Impacted.

If Lightyear’s acquisition plan is successful, Lightyear will experience growth in the future in existing and new markets. The management of such growth will require, among other things, continued development of financial and management controls and management information systems, stringent control of costs and handset inventories, diligent management of network infrastructure and its growth, increased spending associated with marketing activities and acquisition of new customers, the ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel and the training of new personnel. In addition, continued growth will eventually require the expansion of billing, customer care and sales systems and platforms, which will require additional capital expenditures and may divert the time and attention of management personnel who oversee any such expansion. Furthermore, the implementation of any such systems or platforms, including the transition to such systems or platforms from existing infrastructure, could result in unpredictable technological or other difficulties. Failure to successfully manage expected growth and development, to enhance processes and management systems or to timely and adequately resolve any such difficulties could have a material adverse effect on Lightyear’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Loss of Key Personnel and Difficulty Attracting and Retaining Qualified Personnel Could Harm The Business.

Lightyear’s success depends heavily on the contributions of its employees and on attracting, motivating and retaining officers and other management and technical personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain the qualified employees that we need, the business may be harmed. The loss of key individuals in the future may have a material adverse impact on Lightyear’s ability to effectively manage and operate its business .

Risks Associated With Wireless Handsets Could Pose Product Liability, Health and Safety Risks That Could Adversely Affect Lightyear’s Wireless Business.

Lightyear does not manufacture the handsets or other equipment that it sells and generally relies on its suppliers to provide it with safe equipment. Lightyear’s suppliers are required by applicable law to manufacture their handsets to meet certain governmentally imposed safety criteria. However, even if the handsets it sells meet the regulatory safety criteria, Lightyear could be held liable, along with the equipment manufacturers and suppliers, for any harm caused by products it sells if such products are later found to have design or manufacturing defects. Lightyear generally has indemnification agreements with the manufacturers who supply it with handsets to protect it from direct losses associated with product liability, but it cannot guarantee that it will be fully protected against all losses associated with a product that is found to be defective.

Lightyear Relies Heavily on Third Parties to Provide Specialized Services, so a Failure by Such Parties to Provide the Agreed Upon Services Could Materially Adversely Affect our Business, Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Lightyear depends heavily on suppliers and contractors with specialized expertise in order to efficiently operate its business. If key suppliers, contractors or third-party agents fail to comply with their contracts, fail to meet performance expectations or refuse or are unable to supply Lightyear in the future, business could be severely disrupted. Because of the costs and time lags that can be associated with transitioning from one supplier to another, business could be substantially disrupted if Lightyear were required to replace the products or services of one or more major suppliers with products or services from another source, especially if the replacement became necessary on short notice. Any such disruption could have a material adverse affect on Lightyear’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

System Failures Could Result in Higher Churn Rate, Reduced Revenue and Increased Costs, and Could Harm Lightyear’s Reputation.

Lightyear’s technical infrastructure (including functions such as service activation, billing and customer care) is vulnerable to damage or interruption from technology failures, power loss, floods, windstorms, fires, human error, terrorism, intentional wrongdoing, or similar events. Unanticipated problems at its facilities, system failures, hardware or software failures, computer viruses or hacker attacks could affect the quality of services and cause network service interruptions. If any of the above events were to occur, Lightyear could experience higher churn rate, reduced revenues and increased costs, any of which could harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on business.

Security Breaches Could Damage our Reputation and Harm our Operating Results.

We are subject to cyber security risks and may incur increasing costs in an effort to minimize those risks. The services we offer involve the storage and transmission of customers’ proprietary information. Security breaches, such as unauthorized access, accidents, employee error or malfeasance, computer viruses, computer hackings or other disruptions, can occur that could compromise the security of our infrastructure, thereby exposing such information to unauthorized access by third parties. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to remedy, protect against or alleviate these and related problems, and we may not be able to remedy these problems in a timely manner, or at all. Any security breaches that occur could damage our reputation, increase our security costs, expose us to litigation and lead to the loss of existing or potential customers. If our services are perceived as not being secure, our business may be adversely impacted.

Lightyear and Its Suppliers May Be Subject to Claims of Infringement Regarding Telecommunications Technologies That Are Protected By Patents and Other Intellectual Property Rights.

Telecommunications technologies are protected by a wide array of patents and other intellectual property rights. As a result, third parties may assert infringement claims against Lightyear or its suppliers from time to time based on general business operations, the equipment, software or services that are used or provided, or the specific operation of Lightyear’s wireless networks. Lightyear generally has indemnification agreements with the manufacturers, licensors and suppliers who provide it with the equipment, software and technology that it uses in its business to protect it against possible infringement claims, but Lightyear cannot guarantee that it will be fully protected against all losses associated with infringement claims. Lightyear’s suppliers may be subject to infringement claims that could prevent or make it more expensive for them to supply Lightyear with the products and services required to run Lightyear’s business.

If Lightyear Experiences High Rates of Credit Card, Subscription or Dealer Fraud, Its Ability to Generate Cash Flow Will Decrease.

Lightyear’s operating costs can increase substantially as a result of customer credit card, subscription or dealer fraud. Lightyear has implemented a number of strategies and processes to detect and prevent efforts to defraud it, and it believes that its efforts will substantially reduce these types of fraud. However, if its strategies are not successful in detecting and controlling fraud in the future, the resulting loss of revenue or increased expenses could have a material adverse impact on Lightyear’s financial condition and results of operations.

Federal and State Telecommunications Regulations May Limit Lightyear’s Business Flexibility and Increase Costs.

Lightyear is regulated by the FCC as a non-dominant carrier subject to regulation under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to its interstate services, including the use of its local phone lines and Integrated Access services to originate or terminate interstate long-distance calls for other carriers. The FCC requires all telecommunications service providers, including non-dominant carriers such as Lightyear, to maintain authorizations to provide or resell domestic long distance and international services. The FCC generally has the power to modify or terminate a carrier’s authority to provide domestic long distance or international services for failure to comply with federal laws or FCC regulations and may impose fines or other penalties for violations. In addition, the FCC maintains jurisdiction to act upon complaints filed against any telecommunications service provider for failure to comply with statutory or regulatory obligations.

In most states, Lightyear may not begin to provide local and intrastate telecommunications services until it obtains a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the state public utility commission and complies with applicable state regulations, including, in most states, the requirement to file tariffs setting forth Lightyear’s terms and conditions for providing services. Certificates of authority can be conditioned, modified, canceled, terminated or revoked by state regulatory authorities for a carrier’s failure to comply with state laws or rules, regulations and policies of state regulatory authorities. State utility commissions generally have authority to supervise telecommunications service providers in their states and to enforce state utility laws and regulations. Fines or other penalties also may be imposed for violations.

Both the FCC and the state public utility commissions have the legal authority to regulate Lightyear’s prices for telecommunications services within their respective jurisdictions. In practice, because the services Lightyear offers generally are competitive, pricing is usually not restricted by regulators. However, the FCC and several states have adopted rules prohibiting Lightyear from increasing its prices for some services above the levels charged by the incumbent local telephone companies for the same services.

Both the FCC and the state public utility commissions typically require Lightyear to file periodic reports, pay various regulatory fees and assessments, and comply with regulations governing service quality, billing, consumer protection and other similar issues. Because complying with these regulations can be costly and burdensome, the imposition of new regulations by the FCC or in a particular state may adversely affect the profitability of Lightyear’s services.

Several of the states in which Lightyear operates require public utility commission approval before the transfer of a carrier’s authority to operate within the state, the transfer of its assets to a new entity, or a change in the control of an entity that controls a carrier operating within the state. The FCC also prohibits carriers from selling, assigning, or transferring control of their interstate and international operating authorizations without its prior approval. Some states also regulate a carrier’s issuance of securities, incurrence of debt, or pledges of security in support of such debt. These requirements can delay, and increase the cost to complete, various financing transactions, including future stock or debt offerings, the sale of part or all of the regulated business, or the acquisition of assets and other entities to be used in the regulated business.

The regulatory framework under which Lightyear operates is subject to change by new federal or state legislation, regulatory agency decisions, and court rulings. Changes in regulation could affect Lightyear’s ability to raise or lower prices, to introduce new services, or to enter new markets, as well as affecting the cost of the underlying services that Lightyear resells and the prices for regulated services offered by larger carriers against which Lightyear competes. Also, compliance with changes in regulation may increase Lightyear’s cost of operations. Any of these factors may affect Lightyear’s profit margins in ways that are impossible to predict.

Lightyear’s Revenue Could Be Adversely Affected By Access Reform At Either the Federal or State Level.

Lightyear-KY falls within the FCC’s definition of a rural Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) because its entire service area falls within rural markets. Because Lightyear-KY meets the standards of this definition, it is permitted to charge a premium “rural exempt” rate for interstate switched access services. On November 18, 2011, the FCC released an order (the ”Order”) which established a framework for reform of the intercarrier compensation system and Federal Universal Service Fund. The Order has two major provisions: (i) the elimination of terminating switched access rates and other per-minute charges between service providers by 2020, through annual reduction in rates, and (ii) a framework for reform aiming to provide future funding based on an efficient forward-looking model and redirect support to drive broadband expansion in high-cost areas.

In addition, the Kentucky Public Service Commission initiated a proceeding regarding access reform in November of 2010. The current Lightyear-KY intrastate rates are based on the costs of providing telecommunications services to rural areas. The PSC established the above mentioned administrative case to examine the intrastate access rates of all local exchange carriers. If the PSC determines that the intrastate access rates are excessive and revises the methodology for charging access rates, Lightyear’s revenue could be adversely affected. Lightyear-KY has filed comments in the proceeding. The Kentucky Public Service Commission is evaluating whether they need to proceed since the FCC has already released the Order addressing intercarrier compensation reform.

Lightyear Relies on Other Carriers to provide it with Critical Parts of its Network under a Regulatory Framework that May Change.

Lightyear purchases a majority of its services and facilities from other telecommunications carriers to resell to its customers. In some cases, Lightyear depends on existing laws and regulations that require incumbent local exchange carriers to provide particular services and facilities to competitive carriers and that control the prices that the incumbent carriers may charge for these services. Regulatory developments may reduce the extent to which incumbent carriers are required to lease these network facilities to Lightyear or may permit incumbent carriers to increase the prices they charge for such lines or impose unacceptable terms and conditions. Changes in law or regulation could limit or terminate Lightyear’s affordable access to the network components it needs to provide voice and data services.

Failure to Comply with Laws or Regulations Could Result in Fines and Harm Lightyear’s Financial Condition.

The FCC has established a universal service subsidy regime known as the “Universal Service Fund,” which provides subsidies for the provision of telecommunications and information services to rural and other high-cost areas. Providers of interstate telecommunications services such as Lightyear must pay contributions that fund these subsidies. The FCC currently assesses Universal Service Fund contributions based on a percentage of each telecommunications provider’s projected interstate and international telecommunications gross revenue from sales to end users. Carriers are permitted to pass through their Universal Service Fund contribution assessment to their customers in a manner consistent with FCC billing regulations. The FCC also imposes other periodic fees based on revenue on carriers like Lightyear. If the FCC were to determine that Lightyear has not properly reported its gross revenues from telecommunication services or has not paid all universal service contributions for which it is liable, Lightyear could be subject to substantial penalties and fines.

In July 2008, the Enforcement Bureau of the FCC notified Lightyear that it was investigating allegations that Lightyear may have violated certain FCC rules related to the payment of regulatory fees since January 2005. Lightyear responded to the data request in September 2008 and provided information concerning Lightyear’s Universal Service Fund contributions and other regulatory fees. Lightyear has not received a response from the FCC. Lightyear believes that it has paid all applicable regulatory fees. In December 2011, Lightyear executed a tolling agreement with the FCC extending the statute of limitations until July 15, 2012 with respect to the investigation.

Federal regulations protect the privacy of certain subscriber data that telecommunications carriers such as Lightyear acquire in the course of providing their services. This information is referred to as “Customer Proprietary Network Information,” or “CPNI,” and includes information related to the quantity, technological configuration, type, destination and the amount of use of a communications service. FCC rules require all telecommunications carriers to adopt safeguards to prevent unauthorized release of customer information and impose restrictions on the use of CPNI for marketing purposes. Federal regulations also require Lightyear to provide certain technical capabilities in its network, including its VoIP services, to enable law enforcement agencies to monitor communications using its services when authorized by a subpoena or other court order. If Lightyear is unable to comply with a law enforcement agency's request for network access, or for specific information about communications using its services, due to its failure to maintain the required technical capabilities, it could be subject to FCC enforcement action and potential financial penalties.

Lightyear is also required to comply with various other FCC regulations affecting its services, such as rules prescribing the manner and form of its bills. A violation of any of these regulatory requirements by Lightyear could subject it to significant fines or other regulatory penalties, up to and including the revocation of its ability to provide services as a telecommunications carrier.

Lightyear’s E-911 VoIP Calling Services May Expose it to Significant Liability.

Lightyear’s E-911 calling service for its VoIP services is different, in significant respects, from the emergency calling services offered by traditional wireline telephone companies. In each case, those differences may cause significant delays, or even failures, in callers’ receipt of the emergency assistance they need.

The FCC has issued several orders and regulations since 2005 requiring VoIP providers to ensure their customers receive emergency services and E-911 services. Lightyear utilizes a nationally recognized third-party provider to furnish emergency services and E-911 services to its VoIP customers and Lightyear believes that it is in compliance with all applicable orders and regulations related to providing emergency services and E-911 services. However, failure to comply with FCC regulations requiring provision of E-911 emergency calling could subject Lightyear to fines and penalties, including disconnection of our service to certain customers and prohibitions on marketing of our services and accepting new customers in certain areas. Lightyear may also be liable directly to customers for failures of emergency calling services.

Inability to Retain Existing Independent Agents and Representatives and to Recruit Additional Agents and Representatives Could Result in Flat or Decreasing Revenue.

Lightyear distributes almost all of its products through independent agents and representatives and it depends on them to generate virtually all of Lightyear’s revenue. Agents and representatives that have committed time and effort to build a sales organization will generally stay for longer periods. There is a high rate of turnover among Lightyear’s representatives which is characteristic of the Direct Sales business, and Lightyear has experienced periodic declines in both active agents and representatives in the past. As a result, in order to maintain sales and increase sales in the future, Lightyear needs to continue to retain existing agents and representatives and recruit additional agents and representatives to increase Lightyear’s revenue.

Improper Agent or Representative Actions in Violation of Laws or Regulations Could Harm Lightyear’s Business.

Agent and representative activities in Lightyear’s existing markets that violate governmental laws or regulations could result in governmental actions against Lightyear in markets where it operates, which would harm Lightyear’s business. Lightyear’s agents and representatives are not employees and act independently of Lightyear. Lightyear implements strict policies and procedures to ensure its agents and representatives will comply with legal requirements. However, given the size of Lightyear’s agent and representative force, Lightyear does experience problems with agents and representatives from time to time, which could result in a material adverse effect on Lightyear’s business and results of operations.

Changes to Lightyear’s Compensation Arrangements with its Agents and Distributors Could Harm Agent and Representative Productivity.

Lightyear modifies components of its compensation plan from time to time in an attempt to keep its compensation plan competitive and attractive to existing and potential agents and representatives, to address changing market dynamics, to provide incentives to agents and representatives that Lightyear believes will help grow the business, and to address other business needs. Because of the size of Lightyear’s agent and representative force and the complexity of Lightyear’s compensation plans, it is difficult to predict whether such changes will achieve their desired results.

Adverse Publicity Could Harm Lightyear’s Business and Reputation.

The size of Lightyear’s distribution force and the results of Lightyear’s operations can be particularly impacted by adverse publicity regarding Lightyear, the nature of Lightyear’s agent and representative network, Lightyear’s products or the actions of Lightyear’s agents or representatives. Specifically, Lightyear is susceptible to adverse publicity concerning:

Suspicions about the legality and ethics of network marketing;

Regulatory investigations of Lightyear or its competitors;

The actions of Lightyear’s current or former agents or representatives; and

Public perceptions of direct selling business generally.

Failure of Lightyear’s Network Marketing Program to Comply with Laws and Regulations in One or More Markets Could Prevent Lightyear from Conducting its Business in those Markets.

Lightyear’s direct sales/network marketing program is subject to a number of federal and state regulations administered by the FTC and various state agencies in the United States. Lightyear is subject to the risk that, in one or more markets, its direct sales/network marketing program could be found not to be in compliance with applicable law or regulations. Regulations applicable to network marketing organizations generally are directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” or “chain sales” schemes, by ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within an organization is based on sales of the organization’s products rather than investments in the organization or other non-retail sales-related criteria. The regulatory requirements concerning network marketing programs do not include “bright line” rules and are inherently fact-based, and thus, even in jurisdictions where Lightyear believes that its network marketing program is in full compliance with applicable laws or regulations governing network marketing systems, Lightyear is subject to the risk that these laws or regulations or the enforcement or interpretation of these laws and regulations by governmental agencies or courts can change. The failure of Lightyear’s network marketing program to comply with current or newly adopted regulations could negatively impact Lightyear’s business in a particular market or in general.

Lightyear is also subject to the risk of private party challenges to the legality of its network marketing program. The multi-level marketing programs of other companies have been successfully challenged in the past, resulting in monetary damages and injunctive relief.

Lightyear May Be Held Responsible for Taxes and Assessments Relating to the Activities of Its Agents and Representatives.

Lightyear’s agents and representatives are subject to taxation, and in some instances, legislation or governmental agencies impose an obligation on Lightyear to collect taxes, such as value added taxes, and to maintain appropriate records. In addition, Lightyear is subject to the risk in some jurisdictions of being responsible for social security and similar taxes with respect to Lightyear’s agents and representatives. If local laws and regulations or the interpretation of local laws and regulations change to require Lightyear to treat its independent agents and representatives as employees, or if Lightyear’s agents or representatives are deemed by local regulatory authorities in one or more of the jurisdictions in which Lightyear operates to be employees rather than independent contractors under existing laws and interpretations, Lightyear may be held responsible for social security and related taxes in those jurisdictions, plus any related assessments and penalties, which could harm Lightyear’s financial condition and operating results.

Current Insurance May Not Provide Adequate Levels of Coverage Against Claims.

Lightyear currently maintains insurance customary for businesses of its size and type. However, there are types of losses Lightyear may incur that cannot be insured against or that Lightyear believes are not economically reasonable to insure. Such damages could have a material adverse effect on Lightyear’s business and results of operations.

Risks Relating To Ownership of Lightyear Common Stock.

There May Not Be a Public Market for Lightyear Common Stock.

There is not and has never been an active trading market for Lightyear Common Stock. Currently, Lightyear Common Stock trades on the OTC Markets and is very thinly traded. A trading market may never develop in Lightyear Common Stock. Investors must be prepared to bear the economic risk of holding the securities for an indefinite period of time.

Lightyear’s Business Is Subject to the Reporting Requirements of the Federal Securities Laws.

Lightyear is a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders cause business expenses to be higher than they would be if the business were privately-held.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC require us to maintain certain corporate governance practices as a public company. Furthermore, Lightyear must maintain sufficient internal accounting and disclosure controls under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If Lightyear is unable to comply with the corporate governance and internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then it may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by such act, which may preclude Lightyear from keeping its filings current with the SEC.

Lightyear Common Stock May Be Subject to Penny Stock Rules, Which Could Affect Trading.

As long as the trading price of Lightyear’s common stock is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of Lightyear’s common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” rules, unless Lightyear otherwise qualifies for an exemption from the “penny stock” definition. The “penny stock” rules impose additional sales practice requirements on certain broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets, excluding the value of the investor’s primary residence, in excess of $1.0 million or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). These regulations, if applicable, require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. These regulations may have the effect of limiting the trading activity of the Lightyear’s common stock, reducing the liquidity of an investment in Lightyear’s common stock and increasing the transaction costs for sales and purchases of Lightyear’s common stock as compared to other securities.

Securities Regulations May Limit the Number of Securities That May Be Registered Pursuant to the Exercise of Registration Rights by Investors.

Purchasers of Lightyear securities in previous offerings of securities have the right to demand registration of those securities. Based upon the current interpretation of Rule 415 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, it is not likely that we could register all such securities in a single registration, if all such holders demanded such registration.

Because Lightyear was Formerly a Shell Company, Shares of Its Common Stock May Remain Indefinitely Restricted in the Hands of the Initial Investor.

Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of securities of a former shell company unless (i) that company has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, excluding Current Reports on Form 8-K, for the previous 12 months (the “Evergreen Provision”), and (ii) one year has elapsed since the company filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC. Libra became a shell company on June 30, 1998 and ceased to be a shell company in the reverse merger transaction with Lightyear.

Lightyear filed Form 10 Information with the SEC on March 31, 2010 and, since that date, has satisfied the Evergreen Provision. However, because the Evergreen Provision’s filing requirements are perpetual, if Lightyear failed to make such a filing or if our board or stockholders, as applicable, voted to take Lightyear private, securities issued by Lightyear since the date it became a shell would again become unavailable for the Rule 144 safe harbor.

Because Some of Lightyear’s Directors Are the Principal Members of LY Holdings, They Can Exert Significant Control Over Lightyear’s Business and Affairs and Have Actual or Potential Interests That May Depart From Those of Lightyear’s Other Stockholders.

Half of Lightyear’s directors are the principal members of LY Holdings which is Lightyear’s largest stockholder. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of Lightyear’s other Common Stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats, such persons have significant influence over and control all corporate actions.

LY Holdings’ ownership of Lightyear stock may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Lightyear, which in turn could reduce Lightyear’s stock price or prevent stockholders from realizing a premium over the stock price.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable.

Item 2. Properties.

We lease approximately 75,000 square feet of an office building in Louisville, Kentucky which serves as our corporate headquarters. We lease an office building in Pikeville, Kentucky for customer care and administrative functions. The Pikeville lease provides us with an option to purchase the leased premises anytime during the term of the lease. We also own five parcels of real property, primarily used for parking and storage, adjacent to the leased office space in Pikeville. We believe that our properties are adequate and suitable for our business as presently conducted.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Alden Halpern v. Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. fka Libra Alliance Corporation was filed in Nevada District Court on March 1, 2012. The plaintiff alleges violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to his purchase of Lightyear securities. Mr. Halpern alleges that Lightyear falsely represented that the shares he was purchasing were “free-trading.” Lightyear denied the allegations. Mr. Halpern claimed damages of $750,000. Lightyear notified its insurance carriers concerning this matter and continues to contest the allegations vigorously. Lightyear has not recorded a provision for any loss that could be incurred as a result of this matter as they believe the allegations are without merit. The same matter was previously filed on August 31, 2011 in California District Court, but was dismissed without prejudice on December 5, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011, claims have been asserted against us which arose in the normal course of business. While there can be no assurance, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Overview

In February 2010, LY Holdings, LLC (“LY Holdings”) entered into a reverse merger transaction with Libra Alliance Corporation (“Libra”). Through the reverse merger transaction, LY Holdings exchanged 100% of the equity of Lightyear LLC for 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 9,500,000 shares of convertible preferred stock of Libra. Libra later changed its name to Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. (“Lightyear”).

Lightyear, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“Lightyear LLC”), SE Acquisitions, LLC d/b/a Lightyear Network Solutions of Kentucky, a Kentucky limited liability company (“Lightyear-KY”), provides telecommunications services throughout the United States primarily through a distribution network of authorized agents. In addition to long distance and local service, Lightyear currently offers a wide array of telecommunications products and services including internet/intranet, calling cards, advanced data, conferencing, VoIP services and wireless services. Lightyear LLC also operates in Puerto Rico through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lightyear Alliance of Puerto Rico, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company, whose activity is insignificant.

Lightyear provides telecommunications services in 49 states and Puerto Rico and is a licensed local carrier in 44 states. We sell our products and services primarily through a distribution network of more than 150 authorized independent agents and approximately 7,300 independent representatives. Lightyear provides service to approximately 70,000 customer locations as of December 31, 2011, with a significant concentration in the five-state area of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Florida and Georgia. We have built regional customer concentrations which provide a contiguous service area and operational efficiencies, as well as a nationwide distribution network through which additional new concentrations may be built, and resulting in higher margins.

Supporting or providing Cloud based services;

EBITDA positive; and

Trained technical staff meeting our internal requirements and the requirements of our customers.

On October 1, 2010, Lightyear and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lightyear-KY, completed the acquisition of the business assets of SETEL. SETEL filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in September 2009. Lightyear-KY, with approximately 28,000 customer lines, provides us with voice and data telecommunications products and services, including local and long distance phone service, DSL and paging, to primarily residential customers. Our acquisition of Lightyear-KY provided us with additional network infrastructure that will enable us to lower our costs on our existing business. Also, we have implemented steps that will enable us to lower our operating costs as a percentage of our revenues. These steps have included the consolidation of back office and bill printing functions and the implementation of improved credit standards upon the granting of credit to our customers.

On November 4, 2011, LNSI, LY Holdings and Chris Sullivan entered into an Intercompany Obligations Settlement Agreement (the “Intercompany Agreement”). Pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement, LY Holdings surrendered all 9,500,000 shares of the LNSI convertible preferred stock owned by it (plus its right to $2,232,110 of accrued but undeclared and unpaid preferred stock dividends), which shares of convertible preferred stock have been canceled and retired, in complete satisfaction of LY Holdings’ principal indebtedness to LNSI of $12,899,980. Immediately after the consummation of the Intercompany Agreement, LY Holdings owned 10,000,000 shares, or 45.27%, of LNSI’s outstanding common stock. The $11,835,530 net 2011 preferred stock dividend is the deemed preferred stock dividend at redemption of $12,930,764, less the reversal of the cumulative dividend of $1,095,234 recorded in 2010. The $12,930,764 deemed preferred stock dividend is primarily equal to the amount of the LY Holdings’ principal indebtedness of $12,899,980 satisfied pursuant to the agreement, plus $30,784 of adjustments, which primarily relate to transaction costs.

depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of long-lived property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets where applicable;

bad debt expense represents an estimate of the incremental non-collectible receivables;

transaction expenses represent expenses related to the reverse merger or acquisition activity; and

selling, general and administrative expenses which consist of selling, advertising, marketing, billing and promotion expenses, plus salaries and benefits, rent associated with our office space, professional fees, travel and entertainment, depreciation and amortization and other costs.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income – related parties represents interest earned on the First and Second LYH Notes (See discussion – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overview);

Interest expense – related parties currently represents interest payable on the LNS Obligation and formerly on the loans payable to LY Holdings;

Revenues

Revenues were approximately $70.5 million and $52.3 million, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, an increase of $18.2 million or 35%. The increase in revenues was the result of a $21.2 million increase ($28.9 million in 2011 less $7.7 million in Q4 2010) in Lightyear-KY revenues from having a full year of results and was partially offset by the Lightyear LLC $3.0 million, or 6%, decrease in revenue related to unfavorable economic conditions and continued market pressures, including heightened competition, as discussed above, as well as the shift away from lower margin revenue, such as our wholesale business, to sales programs that help us to capture higher margin, lower turnover revenue, such as dedicated local services. The following table presents our operating revenues by product category for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

(dollars in millions)	Year Ended December 31, 2011						Year Ended December 31, 2010

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $45.2 million (64% of revenue) and $35.1 million (67% of revenue), respectively, a year over year increase of $10.1 million or 29%. The full year of Lightyear-KY results accounted for an increase of $14.6 million ($19.7 million in 2011 less $5.1 million in Q4 2010) in cost of sales, partially offset by a decrease in cost of sales totaling $3.8 related to decreased revenues and lower cost products at Lightyear LLC.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was approximately $25.3 million (36% of revenue) and $17.2 million (33% of revenue), respectively for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, an increase of $8.1 million or 47%, or a 3% increase in the gross profit percentage. Included within the change of profit for the year, was an increase of $7.4 million ($10.0 million in 2011 less $2.6 million in Q4 2010) attributable to including a full year of Lightyear-KY results in 2011 compared to three months in 2010. Lightyear LLC gross profit increased by $0.8 million due to a transition to higher margin products.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $6.1 million or 30% to $26.2 million from $20.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in operating expense was due to a $6.5 million increase as a result of having a full year of Lightyear-KY operating expenses (only $9.0 million in 2011 as compared to $2.5 million during Q4 2010 on account of headcount reductions at Lightyear-KY), an increase in commission expense of $0.5 million due to an increase in upfront payments associated with long term and wireless prepaid products, along with an increase of selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million primarily due to capital raise expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.1 million, a decrease in bad debt expense of $0.3 million due to focus on prepaid wireless, no transaction expenses in 2011 (decrease of $0.8 million).

Other Income (Expense)

Interest income remained comparable from 2010 to 2011 at $0.6 million. Interest expense increased $0.1 million or 11% to $0.7 million from $0.6 million, due principally to recording interest expense associated with the LNS Obligation for the entire year of 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Since Lightyear began operations in 2004, we have incurred significant operating losses. Through the date of the reverse merger transaction, Lightyear had an accumulated member’s deficit of approximately $26.6 million. As a result, we have managed our cash receipts and disbursements, as well as our operating costs in order to maintain an adequate level of cash. As of December 31, 2011, Lightyear had a cash balance of $0.1 million and a working capital deficit of $1.3 million.

Prior to the reverse merger, Lightyear’s working capital had come from loans from LY Holdings. In connection with the reverse merger transaction with Libra, our debt and interest obligations to LY Holdings were extinguished. Subsequently, our working capital came from equity financing and credit facilities. We have instituted cost reductions, raised our customer credit requirements, and stepped up our efforts to increase revenues through targeted promotions over the past 18 months. Partially aided by the addition of Lightyear-KY, the Company’s 2011 operating activities provided a nominal amount of cash. The Company’s future capital requirements are expected to be driven by (i) network build-out costs; (ii) debt reduction and debt service; (iii) public/investor relations costs; (iv) acquisition opportunities; and (v) the need to supplement working capital levels. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $108,133 of cash. The Company believes that its current cash and cash expected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. In addition, the Company continues to investigate the capital markets for sources of funding, which could take the form of additional debt or equity financings, however there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing such capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, the Company might (a) initiate additional cost reductions; (b) forego acquisition or network build-out opportunities; and/or (c) seek extensions of the scheduled payment obligations, including the Settlement Note.

The most significant item impacting Lightyear’s future liquidity is the $6.25 million obligation payable to Sullivan which had a maturity date of January 10, 2013. On March 20, 2012, Sullivan agreed to forbear from demanding payment until August 30, 2013. In addition, Lightyear has a $1.96 million note payable with a maturity date of September 30, 2015 and a $1.95 million note payable with a maturity date of January 25, 2014. It should also be noted that Lightyear has a note receivable from LY Holdings of $1.22 million with a maturity date of November 4, 2016. LY Holdings has no material assets other than its investment in 10,000,000 shares of Lightyear common stock.

The notes and interest receivable from LY Holdings are reflected as contra-equity items, and reported within “Stockholders’ Deficiency” on the consolidated balance sheet. The note and related interest payable to Sullivan are reflected as non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. These items are not reflected in the working capital deficit cited above.

Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The amount provided during the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily due to a $2.1 million cash income from operations (a net loss of $0.6 million plus non-cash adjustments of $2.7 million), offset by a $2.1 million usage of cash to fund changes in certain operating assets and liabilities, including a $1.6 million decrease in deferred revenue due to a change in our billing dates.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The usage of cash during the year ended December 31, 2011 was attributable to $1.1 million for purchases of property and equipment (including $0.6 million related to the build-out of our network), offset by $0.3 million in cash from a sale of fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 included $2.0 million of proceeds from a new credit facility, offset by principal payments on our notes payable.

Potential Future Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

We expect our 2012 operating activities to be self-sufficient from a cash perspective, but this objective may not be met. Our future capital requirements are expected to be driven by (i) network build-out costs; (ii) debt reduction and debt service; (iii) public/investor relations costs; (iv) acquisition opportunities; and (v) the need to supplement working capital levels. We are currently investigating the capital markets for sources of funding, which could take the form of additional debt or equity financings. The Company may not be successful in securing additional capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, the Company might (a) initiate additional cost reductions; (b) forego acquisition or network build-out opportunities; and/or (c) seek extensions of our scheduled payment obligations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has provided irrevocable standby letters of credit, aggregating $125,000 to five states and one vendor, which automatically renew for terms not longer than one year, unless notified otherwise. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, these letters of credit had not been drawn upon.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies, including the assumptions, estimates and judgments underlying them, are more fully described in our “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-K. Some of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, and as a result, they are subject to a greater degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in calculating estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Lightyear has identified certain of its accounting policies as being most important to our consolidated financial condition and results of operations and which require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our significant estimates include the reserves related to receivables, the recoverability and useful lives of long lived assets, anticipated carrier credits, the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets, the valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and the valuation of assets acquired in the SETEL asset acquisition.

Our critical accounting policies include the following:

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.2 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover probable and reasonably estimable losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers a number of factors, including collection experience, current economic trends, estimates of forecasted write-offs, aging of the accounts receivable portfolios, industry norms, regulatory decisions and other factors. Our policy is to fully reserve all accounts that are 90-days past due. Accounts are written off after use of a collection agency is deemed to be no longer effective.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost except for assets acquired using acquisition accounting, which are initially recorded at fair value. The cost of additions and substantial betterments to property and equipment is capitalized. Depreciation and amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Improvements to leased assets or fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease period, whichever is shorter. Leased property meeting certain criteria is capitalized and the present value of the related payments is recorded as a liability. Depreciation of capitalized leased assets is computed on the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or its economic life. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost except for assets acquired using acquisition accounting, which are initially recorded at their estimated fair value. Intangible assets with definite lives include proprietary technology, covenants not to compete, a trade name and customer and agent relationships. Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives include VoIP licenses and a trade name. VoIP licenses provide us with certain rights in connection with our VoIP products. We have determined that there are currently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful lives of the VoIP licenses. We acquired the rights to the Lightyear trade name and effectively have the ability to retain this exclusive right permanently at a nominal cost.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We have reviewed the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Revenue Recognition

Telecommunications services income such as access revenue and usage revenue are recognized on the accrual basis as services are provided. In general, access revenue is billed one month in advance and is recognized when earned. Wireless handheld devices are sold at a discount when bundled with a long-term wireless service contract. We recognize the equipment revenue and associated costs when title has passed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer. We provide administrative and support services to our agents and pay commissions based on revenues from the agents’ accounts. Amounts invoiced to customers in advance of services are reflected as deferred revenues.

We pay certain agents an initial lump sum commission. A portion of this commission is deferred and is amortized over a three month period.

Cost of revenue represents primarily the direct costs associated with the cost of transmitting and terminating traffic on other carriers’ facilities.

Commissions paid to acquire customer call traffic are expensed in the period when associated call revenues are recognized.

The accounting standards guidance provides for how taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities should be presented in the income statement. The guidance states that if taxes are reported on a gross basis (included as revenue) a company should disclose those amounts, if significant. We do not include excise and other sales related taxes in our revenues.

Income Taxes

Lightyear began being taxed as a corporation effective February 12, 2010, the date of our recapitalization. Our subsidiaries are organized as limited liability companies, and have elected to be treated as disregarded entities for income tax purposes, with taxable income or loss passing through to LNSI, the parent. Prior to February 12, 2010, we were organized as a partnership for income tax purposes and all income tax attributes were passed up to the member of Lightyear LLC.

We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of liabilities and assets and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2011, we have recorded a valuation allowance for the amount of deferred tax assets that are not more than likely to be realized.

We account for uncertain tax positions based upon authoritative guidance that prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides direction on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and related disclosure.

We have evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011. We file income tax returns with most states.

It is our policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the award is measured on the grant date. For non-employees, the award is measured on the grant date and then non-vested amounts are remeasured at each financial reporting date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 805 on Business Combinations. This standard clarifies the requirements for pro forma reporting on business combinations. The amendment in this update specifies that an entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. In addition, this update enhances disclosure for material adjustments made to the pro forma earnings under the business combination. This amendment is effective for business combinations which occurred in an annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We expect this guidance to have an impact on the accounting for any future business acquisitions as of the effective date.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Generally, this ASU is not intended to change the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is not expected to have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note A – Description of Business

Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“LNSI”), was incorporated in 1997 and operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lightyear Network Solutions, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company organized in 2003 (“Lightyear LLC”) and SE Acquisitions, LLC d/b/a Lightyear Network Solutions of Kentucky, a Kentucky limited liability company organized on June 22, 2010 (“Lightyear-KY”) (collectively, “Lightyear” or the “Company”).

Lightyear LLC, the original operating subsidiary of the Company had formerly been a wholly-owned subsidiary of LY Holdings, LLC (“LY Holdings”) and has conducted operations in substantially their present form since 2004.

In February 2010, LY Holdings entered into a reverse merger transaction with Libra Alliance Corporation (“Libra”), accounted for as a recapitalization of Lightyear LLC, with the result that Lightyear became a public company and began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Libra was then renamed “Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc.” and began operating Lightyear’s business of providing telecommunications services (See Note B - Reverse Merger, Exchange Transaction and Reorganization).

On October 1, 2010, Lightyear, through Lightyear-KY, purchased the business assets of Southeast Telephone, Inc. (“SETEL”), a Kentucky corporation, from SETEL’s bankruptcy estate (see Note D - Acquisition - Acquisition of SETEL Net Assets).

Lightyear provides telecommunications services throughout the United States and Puerto Rico primarily through a distribution network of authorized independent agents and representatives. In addition to long distance and local service, Lightyear currently offers a wide array of telecommunications services including internet/intranet, calling cards, advanced data, wireless, Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) and conference calling.

Lightyear is a licensed local carrier in 44 states and provides long distance service in 49 states. Lightyear delivers service to approximately 70,000 customer locations with a significant concentration in the five state area of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Florida and Georgia. Lightyear maintains its own network infrastructure and is a telecommunications reseller and competes, both directly at the wholesale level and through agents and representatives, at the retail level. Lightyear is subject to regulatory requirements imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), state and local governmental agencies. Regulations by the FCC as well as state agencies include limitations on types of services and service areas offered to the public.

Note B – Reverse Merger, Exchange Transaction and Reorganization

On February 12, 2010, Libra entered into and closed on a master transaction agreement (the “Exchange Transaction”) with LY Holdings, and holders of LY Holdings’ convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Debtholders”), including a Securities Exchange Agreement and a Securities Contribution Agreement. Libra was a non-operating public shell company which had no preferred stock authorized, was authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock and had 5,505,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Securities Exchange Agreement provided for LY Holdings to exchange its 100% membership interest in Lightyear LLC (after forgiving Lightyear LLC’s net intercompany indebtedness to LY Holdings of $25,292,175) for 10,000,000 shares of Libra common stock to be issued at closing and an additional 9,500,000 shares of Libra preferred stock to be issued after Libra increased its authorized shares. The Securities Contribution Agreements provided for LY Holdings’ Convertible Debtholders to exchange their aggregate of $5,149,980 of convertible promissory notes for a single non-convertible promissory note (“First LY Holdings Note”), which was contributed to Libra in exchange for an aggregate of 3,242,533 shares of Libra common stock.

On February 25, 2010, Libra’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (1) changing the name of Libra to Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc., (2) increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock to 70,000,000 and (3) authorizing 9,500,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock was designated to (a) vote as a single class with shares of common stock; (b) have a stated value of $2.00 per share; (c) have dividends of 5% of the stated value, when and if declared; (d) have conversion rights into one share of common stock (subject to adjustment); (e) have the right to elect a majority of the board of directors, so long as at least 50% of the originally issued preferred stock is outstanding; (f) have a liquidation preference equal to the sum of the stated value and all accrued but unpaid dividends; (g) have a premium upon a change of control transaction equal to the liquidation preference; and (h) have certain negative covenants regarding the declaration of dividends, the issuance of additional preferred stock and the issuance of debt.

Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note B – Reverse Merger, Exchange Transaction and Reorganization – Continued

On April 12, 2010, the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation became effective and the Company completed the transactions contemplated in the Exchange Agreement by issuing 9,500,000 shares of preferred stock to LY Holdings. As of April 12, 2010, LY Holdings and LY Holdings’ Convertible Debtholders owned approximately 69% and 11.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, respectively.

The transactions under the master transaction agreement are intended to qualify as a tax-free contribution of property for stock under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The issuances of the Company’s stock under the Securities Exchange Agreement and the Contribution Agreements are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

For financial reporting purposes, the Exchange Transaction represents a capital transaction of Lightyear or a "reverse merger" rather than a business combination, because the sellers of Lightyear controlled the combined company immediately following the completion of the transaction. Lightyear was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Lightyear. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of Lightyear and were recorded at the historical cost basis of Lightyear. LNSI’s assets, liabilities and results of operations are consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Lightyear after consummation of the acquisition. The number of shares issued and outstanding and additional paid-in capital of the Company have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by the Company in the Exchange Transaction, while Lightyear’s historical member’s deficit is being carried forward. All costs attributable to the reverse merger were expensed.

At the time of the Exchange Transaction, LNSI had 5,505,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The LY Holdings Convertible Debtholders contributed the First LY Holdings Note to LNSI in exchange for an aggregate of 3,242,533 shares of LNSI stock. The First LY Holdings Note of $5,149,980 and the related interest receivable were recorded as a contra-equity item because they represented receivables from an affiliate. The maturity date of the First LY Holdings Note was December 31, 2011 and interest accrued at the rate of 5% and quarter end interest payments were scheduled beginning June 30, 2010. On March 29, 2011 and May 11, 2011, LNSI agreed to continue to forbear from demanding payment of past due interest under the First LYH Note or commencing any action until March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The First LY Holdings Note was satisfied on November 4, 2011 as discussed in Note M – Related Party Transactions – Intercompany Agreement.

The Convertible Preferred Stock ranked senior to the Common Stock and holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution upon a Liquidation Event, before any payment was made to the holders of Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the stated value of $2.00, plus any Cumulative Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as was determined by dividing the stated value by the conversion price (currently set at $2.00 per share) in effect at the time of conversion, subject to typical anti-dilution provisions. The Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible automatically upon the earlier of (a) a public offering of $40 million of gross proceeds from the sale of Common Stock, (b) shares of Common Stock trading for 20 consecutive trading days at a daily average price of not less than 200% of the conversion price, at an average volume of not less than 500,000 shares per day over such 20 trading day period or (c) the conversion of at least fifty percent of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock originally issued, subject to typical adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or other similar recapitalization events, or (d) upon the agreement of at least a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock holders.

Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 5% of the aggregate stated value of Convertible Preferred Stock held by them per annum, accruable and payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors. If the Company failed to pay dividends on Convertible Preferred Stock on a quarterly basis, the dividend payment rate increased to 8% per annum with respect to dividends previously accrued and unpaid and any future dividend payments, until such time as all accrued dividends were paid and distributed, at which time the rate of 5% per annum would resume. Because the Company’s board of directors did not declare, and the Company did not pay, a dividend on the issued and outstanding shares of its Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, the dividend payment rate on the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock increased from 5% per annum to 8% per annum on all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock.

See Note M – Related Party Transactions – Intercompany Agreement for additional details related to the First LY Holdings Note and the Convertible Preferred Stock.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note C – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been included in our consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are managed as a single business and a single segment. Activity with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lightyear Alliance of Puerto Rico, LLC, is insignificant.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include the reserves related to receivables, the recoverability and useful lives of long lived assets, anticipated carrier credits, the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets, the valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and the valuation of assets acquired in the SETEL asset acquisition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of presentation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit, cash on hand and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company also maintains cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,215,735 and $559,468 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s management has established an allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover probable and reasonably estimable losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts considers a number of factors, including collection experience, current economic trends, estimates of forecasted write-offs, aging of the accounts receivable portfolios, industry norms, regulatory decisions and other factors. Management’s policy is to fully reserve all accounts that are 180-days past due. Accounts are written off after use of a collection agency is deemed to be no longer effective.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost, except for assets acquired using acquisition accounting, which are initially recorded at fair value (See Note D - Acquisition of SETEL Net Assets). The cost of additions and substantial betterments to property and equipment are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Improvements to leased assets or fixtures are amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease period, whichever is shorter. Leased property meeting certain criteria is capitalized and the present value of the related payments is recorded as a liability. Depreciation of capitalized leased assets is computed on the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the lease or its economic life. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of these assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost except for assets acquired using acquisition accounting, which are initially recorded at their estimated fair value (See Note D - Acquisition of SETEL Net Assets). Intangible assets with definite lives include proprietary technology, covenants not to compete, a trade name and customer and agent relationships. Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives include VoIP licenses and a trade name. VoIP licenses provide us with certain rights in connection with our VoIP products. The Company has determined that there are currently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful lives of the VoIP licenses. The Company acquired the rights to the Lightyear trade name and effectively has the ability to retain this exclusive right permanently at a nominal cost.

Note C – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, were approximately $538,000 and $218,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Inventories

The Company maintains inventories, consisting of wireless telephones and telecommunications equipment, which are available for sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had reserves for obsolete inventory of approximately $42,000 and $25,000, respectively.

The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company wrote off approximately $45,000 of inventory.

Revenue Recognition

Telecommunications services income such as access revenue and usage revenue are recognized on the accrual basis as services are provided. In general, access revenue is billed one month in advance and is recognized when earned. Wireless handheld devices are sold at a discount when bundled with a long-term wireless service contract. We recognize the equipment revenue and associated costs when title has passed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer. The Company provides administrative and support services to its agents and pays commissions based on revenues from the agents’ accounts. Amounts invoiced to customers in advance of services are reflected as deferred revenues.

The Company pays certain agents an initial lump sum commission. A portion of this commission is deferred and is amortized over a three month period.

Cost of revenues represents primarily the direct costs associated with the cost of transmitting and terminating traffic on other carriers’ facilities.

Commissions paid to acquire customer call traffic are expensed in the period when associated call revenues are recognized.

The accounting standards guidance provides for how taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities should be presented in the income statement. The guidance states that if taxes are reported on a gross basis (included as revenue) a company should disclose those amounts, if significant. The Company does not include excise and other sales related taxes in its revenues.

Income Taxes

Effective February 12, 2010, the date of the Company’s recapitalization, Lightyear began being taxed as a corporation. The Company’s subsidiaries are organized as limited liability companies, and have elected to be treated as disregarded entities for income tax purposes, with taxable income or loss passing through to LNSI, the parent. Prior to February 12, 2010, Lightyear LLC was a disregarded entity for income tax purposes and all income tax attributes were passed up to the member of Lightyear LLC.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included or excluded in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined on the basis of the difference between the tax basis of liabilities and assets and their respective financial reporting amounts (“temporary differences”) at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the amount of deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions based upon authoritative guidance that prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides direction on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and related disclosure.

Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011. The Company files income tax returns with most states. Effective on February 12, 2010, in connection with its reverse merger, the Company became subject to federal and state income taxes. Prior to the reverse merger, Lightyear LLC was a limited liability corporation which passed its tax attributes to its stockholders. The tax year ended December 31, 2010 remains subject to examination for federal, state, and local income tax purposes by various taxing authorities. The tax returns, which were filed as a limited liability company, remain open for the prior three years.

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure framework provides a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that gives highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2	Inputs to the valuation methodology include: · Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. · Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets. · Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability. · Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

	If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value is often based on internally developed models in which there are few, if any, external observations.

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Continued

The Company’s short term financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, short term borrowings and accounts payable, each of which approximate their fair values based upon their short term nature. The Company’s other financial instruments include notes payable, capital lease obligations and obligations payable. The carrying value of these instruments approximate fair value, as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market, for obligations with similar terms and maturities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the award is measured on the grant date. For non-employees, the award is measured on the grant date and then non-vested amounts are re-measured at each financial reporting date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

As of February 11, 2010, LY Holdings’ derivative liabilities were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model as follows: All - market and exercise price of $1.80, dividend yield of 0%, annual volatility of 45.4%; Warrants – 4.3 to 5.0 years expected term and risk free interest rates ranging from 1.99% to 2.23% and Conversion Options – 0.8 to 1.4 years expected term and risk free interest rates ranging from 0.24% to 0.54%. The benefit associated with reducing the value of the derivative liabilities through February 11, 2010 was recorded on the books of Lightyear. On February 12, 2010, the convertible promissory notes and warrants which originally resulted in the derivative liabilities were modified or cancelled such that there were no ongoing derivative liabilities or impact on Lightyear after that date.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

The Company has recorded amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of cash costs incurred by the Company and derivative liabilities on the books of LY Holdings. Deferred financing costs resulted from LY Holdings’ financing activities. These costs were being amortized over the term of the related debt until such time as the debt was forgiven by LY Holdings (See Note B – Reverse Merger, Exchange Transaction and Reorganization).

(Loss) Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, non-vested restricted stock and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock (using the if-converted method).

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 805 on Business Combinations. This standard clarifies the requirements for pro forma reporting on business combinations. The amendment in this update specifies that an entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. In addition, this update enhances disclosure for material adjustments made to the pro forma earnings under the business combination. This amendment is effective for business combinations which occurred in an annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. This guidance will have an impact on the accounting for any future business acquisitions as of the effective date.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Generally, this ASU is not intended to change the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Liquidity Plan

Since the Company began operations in 2004, it has historically incurred significant operating losses. Through the date of the reverse merger transaction, Lightyear LLC had an accumulated member’s deficit of approximately $26.6 million. As of December 31, 2011, Lightyear had a cash balance of $0.1 million and a working capital deficit of $1.3 million.

Partially aided by the addition of Lightyear-KY, the Company’s 2011 operating activities provided a nominal amount of cash. The Company’s future capital requirements are expected to be driven by (i) network build-out costs; (ii) debt reduction and debt service; (iii) public/investor relations costs; (iv) acquisition opportunities; and (v) the need to supplement working capital levels. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $108,133 of cash. The Company believes that its current cash and cash expected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. In addition, the Company continues to investigate the capital markets for sources of funding, which could take the form of additional debt or equity financings, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing such capital. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, the Company might (a) initiate additional cost reductions; (b) forego acquisition or network build-out opportunities; and/or (c) seek extensions of the scheduled payment obligations, including the Settlement Note.

Note D – Acquisition

Acquisition of SETEL Net Assets

On October 1, 2010, Lightyear-KY purchased substantially all of the business and assets of SETEL pursuant to a certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated June 30, 2010. SETEL had previously filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Pikeville Division. Lightyear-KY provides voice and data telecommunications products and services, including local and long distance phone service, DSL and paging, to primarily residential customers. Lightyear-KY had approximately 136 employees and approximately 31,000 customer lines.

The purchase price paid consisted of 200,000 shares of common stock of LNSI, valued at $950,000, based upon the Company’s closing stock price of $4.75 on September 30, 2010, the assumption of certain liabilities and a cash payment of $436,656 in order to pay any administrative and priority claims of SETEL. The Company paid the $436,656 in claims with a portion of the cash acquired from SETEL. Lightyear-KY also assumed SETEL’s remaining obligations under certain notes payable and capital leases (See Note I – Capital Lease Obligations and Note J – Notes Payable).

The Company determined that the fair values of assets acquired exceeded the purchase price by approximately $3.4 million, net of income tax, which was recorded as a bargain purchase gain, and was shown as a separate component of other income (expense) in the 2010 consolidated financial statements. The gain of approximately $5,385,000, before netting of the related deferred tax liability of approximately $1,991,000, was recognized for financial statement purposes only. The gain is not recognized currently for tax purposes and the bargain purchase resulted in a carryforward of the tax basis of the assets acquired.

The following details amortization periods for the identifiable, amortizable intangibles:

Intangible Asset Category		Amortization Period

Note G – Short-Term Borrowings

In December 2009, as amended in January 2010, Lightyear entered into a short term revolving secured factoring agreement of up to $500,000. In conjunction with this agreement, the factor received a first priority interest in Lightyear’s accounts receivable, intangible assets and deposit accounts. Pursuant to the agreement, Lightyear agreed to repay the advances under the factoring agreement from a combination of: (1) fifty percent of the proceeds of the private placement that commenced during November 2009 in excess of $1,000,000; and (2) certain fixed weekly payment amounts if the facility had not been repaid by January 22, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, Lightyear had outstanding borrowings of $500,000 under the facility. On February 8, 2010, the outstanding borrowings were repaid in full from the proceeds of the final closing of LY Holdings’ convertible promissory notes.

On March 17, 2010, Lightyear entered into a closed end credit facility (the “Note”) with a limited future multiple advance feature, representing an arrangement that allowed Lightyear to obtain advances without giving the bank a separate note for each advance. Lightyear was entitled to borrow up to the full principal amount of $1,000,000 of the Note from time to time, but only up through, and not after, June 16, 2010, subject to certain limitations. The Note bore interest at the prime rate plus 4% but not less than 7.25% per annum. Beginning on April 30, 2010 and through June 30, 2010, Lightyear was to pay all accrued but unpaid interest. Beginning on July 30, 2010, Lightyear made monthly payments of all accrued but unpaid interest plus monthly principal payments in the amount of $111,112, unless and until the outstanding principal balance of the Note was paid in full. The Note was scheduled to mature on March 30, 2011, but was repaid in full on March 24, 2011. The Note was secured by a security interest in all tangible and intangible assets of Lightyear, including lockbox accounts and its operating account, and by the personal guaranties of an officer and two directors of the Company. As of December 31, 2010, Lightyear had outstanding advances under the Note aggregating $320,428.

Note I – Capital Lease Obligations

The Company leases land, a building and equipment under the provisions of long-term capital leases. On October 1, 2010, the remaining capital leases were assumed in connection with the acquisition of the net assets of SETEL. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the leased property under capital leases had a cost basis of $2,949,293, consisting of land of $216,000, building of $1,784,000 and equipment of $949,293. Accumulated amortization was $474,989 and $304,782 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization of the leased property is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

On October 1, 2010, the Company assumed SETEL’s Lease and Option Agreement (the “Lease”), dated January 1, 2004, with Pike County, Kentucky (“Pike County”) for the building and land located at 106 Scott Avenue, Pikeville, KY (the “Leased Premises”). Lightyear-KY uses the Leased Premises as its Administrative and Customer Care Headquarters. The original term of the Lease is 10 years through December 31, 2013. However, unless Lightyear-KY gives 30 days prior written notice to Pike County of its intent not to extend the Lease, the Lease automatically extends for another 10 year term on the same payment terms, expiring on December 31, 2023. If Lightyear-KY does not extend the Lease after the original term, Lightyear-KY must pay to Pike County a fee of $100,000.

The monthly rent for the Leased Premises is $6,657, subject to certain required employment levels. If Lightyear-KY fails to maintain 80 full time employees during the term of the Lease, the monthly rent increases to $7,509. As of December 31, 2011, Lightyear-KY had 93 full time employees. Under the Lease, Lightyear-KY is required to: (i) maintain comprehensive liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000; (ii) pay all real estate taxes; and, (iii) indemnify Pike County from and against all suits whatsoever relating to the Leased Premises, except legal action concerning title to the Leased Premises.

Lightyear-KY has an option to purchase the Leased Premises at any time during the term of the Lease upon written notice (certified mail) to Pike County at least 30 days before the date on which Lightyear-KY desires to exercise the option and purchase the Leased Premises.

On January 21, 2011, the Company entered into a $2,000,000 secured promissory note (the “Note”) arrangement with a bank. The Note was secured by Lightyear LLC’s lockbox bank account, business operating bank account, other tangible and intangible assets, the pledge of two million shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock owned by LY Holdings, LLC (“LY Holdings”), as well as the personal guaranties of certain directors of the Company and a guaranty by Lightyear LLC. The Note was originally scheduled to mature on January 21, 2013, and bore interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 4.0%, but not less than 7.0% per annum. Pursuant to the original terms of the Note, the Company was scheduled to make monthly interest payments through January 21, 2013, as well as $500,000 principal payments on January 21, 2012, and July 21, 2012. The final $1,000,000 principal payment was due on January 21, 2013. On January 25, 2011, from the proceeds of this Note, $1,000,000 was paid to a bank on behalf of Chris T. Sullivan (“Sullivan”) to repay a portion of the obligations payable – related parties. Pursuant to an agreement, in consideration for his personal guaranty, the Company will pay one of its directors $60,000 for each year in which the guaranty is in effect, payable in monthly installments of $5,000. In 2011, the Company paid the director $50,000 for his personal guaranty.

On December 16, 2011, the Company and the bank executed a new note which modified the terms of the $2,000,000 note, as agreed to in principle on November 9, 2011. The modified note required the Company to (1) make an immediate $50,000 principal payment; (2) make monthly principal and interest payments totaling $37,780 per month, commencing on January 25, 2012; and (3) make a final payment consisting of the remaining principal and any accrued but unpaid interest at the amended January 25, 2014 maturity date. In addition, the bank waived all covenant violations that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and agrees to amend the debt covenants going forward. The modified note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6%. The modified note is secured by Lightyear LLC’s lockbox bank account, business operating bank account, other tangible and intangible assets, the pledge of two million shares of the Company’s common stock owned by LY Holdings, as well as the personal guaranties of certain directors of the Company and a guaranty by Lightyear LLC. In connection with this modification, the Company ceased paying $5,000 per month to one of its directors.

Note M – Related Party Transactions

Lightyear has significant transactions with LY Holdings, members of LY Holdings and conducts business with certain companies or individuals which are related parties either by having common ownership or because they are controlled by members of LY Holdings, the directors and/or officers of the Company or by relatives of members of LY Holdings, directors and/or officers of the Company. Aggregate related party transactions are segregated on the face of the balance sheets and statements of operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Forgiveness of Indebtedness to LY Holdings

On February 12, 2010, LY Holdings forgave Lightyear’s intercompany indebtedness of $25,292,175 in conjunction with the Exchange Transaction (See Note B – Reverse Merger, Exchange Transaction and Reorganization), which was comprised of $21,116,242 of loans payable to LY Holdings and $4,762,750 of interest payable to LY Holdings, partially offset by a $586,817 receivable from LY Holdings.

Prior to the forgiveness of the intercompany indebtedness by LY Holdings on February 12, 2010, but subsequent to December 31, 2009, Lightyear became indebted to LY Holdings for an additional $2,099,980 of loans. LNS incurred fees associated with these loans aggregating $367,300. These costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs on the books of Lightyear. The additional funding arose from the following financing activity of LY Holdings:

In November 2009, LY Holdings commenced a private placement offering and beginning in January 2010 and continuing through February 8, 2010, LY Holdings raised $2,099,980 of gross proceeds. The notes bore simple interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum and were payable eighteen months from the date of the respective closings.

The note terms stipulated that in the event that LY Holdings consummated (i) an offering or series of related offerings, whether in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof, that results in gross proceeds to LY Holdings of at least $5,000,000, inclusive of the proceeds from an earlier convertible note offering that raised an aggregate of $3,050,000, and (ii) a merger, share exchange, sale or contribution of substantially all of Lightyear’s assets or other business combination with a publicly-traded shell company, as a result of which the members of Lightyear immediately prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly, beneficially own more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or resulting entity (the “Reverse Merger”), the holders of the notes would be required to exchange their notes for (i) such number of shares of common stock equal to the number of LY Holdings Class B Units for which such notes are convertible (ii) and new five year warrants to purchase up to 50% of the number of shares of LY Holdings Class B Units for which such notes are converted, issued at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The transaction calls for the holders of the earlier convertible notes and warrants from the prior note to be treated in a substantially similar manner as the holder of the notes and warrants in this offering.

Prior to the Exchange Transaction, the holders rescinded their purchase of the notes and instead received a term note with the same interest rate and duration as the notes.

Settlement Agreement

In July 2004 and July 2008, LY Holdings borrowed funds, most of the proceeds of which were ultimately provided to Lightyear LLC. The lenders were all affiliates of LY Holdings, including an affiliate of Chris T. Sullivan, who is an affiliate of LY Holdings and a director of Lightyear. In connection with these loans, LY Holdings and Lightyear executed agreements (the “Letter Agreements”) to pay the lenders (the “Letter Agreement Holders”), in addition to principal and interest payments on the accompanying notes, an amount each month equal to an aggregate of 3% and 4% of the gross commissionable monthly revenues from Lightyear’s sales of wireless and VoIP service offerings (the “Revenue Payments”), respectively. The Letter Agreements have a term of ten years unless terminated early due to a sale of all or substantially all of LY Holdings. Upon an early termination event, Lightyear would be obligated to pay the respective Letter Agreement Holders a termination fee in the amount of the sum of the Revenue Payments for the immediately preceding twelve full months. On February 11, 2010, LY Holdings, Lightyear and each of the Letter Agreement Holders entered into a modification (the “First Modification to Letter Agreements”), pursuant to which the Letter Agreements were modified to, among other things, release and discharge LY Holdings from all obligations under the Letter Agreements. The Letter Agreement Holders are all associated with directors or former directors of the Company.

Settlement Agreement – Continued

Pursuant to a loan made to LY Holdings by Sullivan, on February 11, 2010, LY Holdings issued an amended promissory note (the “Second LY Holdings Note”) to Sullivan in the original principal amount of $8,000,000 with a maturity date of July 1, 2010. The Second LY Holdings Note bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.75% on all amounts owed up to $7,000,000 and LIBOR plus 7.75% on all amounts owed in excess of $7,000,000, neither of which will exceed 10% per annum. The Second LY Holdings Note is secured by a security interest in (i) the capital stock of LNSI held by LY Holdings and (ii) certain interests in LY Holdings, excluding Sullivan’s interest. As of April 29, 2010, $7,750,000 was outstanding pursuant to the Second LY Holdings Note, $250,000 of which was scheduled to have been paid on March 31, 2010 and the remainder of which was due on the July 1, 2010 maturity date.

On April 29, 2010, Lightyear, LY Holdings, Sullivan and the Letter Agreement Holders entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which: (1) Lightyear purchased the Second LY Holdings Note from Sullivan for an aggregate purchase price of $7,750,000 (the “LNS Obligation”); (2) LY Holdings became indebted to Lightyear pursuant to and in the amount of the Second LY Holdings Note; and (3) Lightyear became obligated to reimburse LY Holdings for $260,000 (the “LY Holdings Reimbursement”, which is recorded as other expense - related parties in the consolidated statements of operations) in advances made by LY Holdings to Sullivan after the parties reached an agreement in principle, but before the execution of the agreement. Of the $7,750,000 LNS Obligation, $250,000 was paid contemporaneous with the execution of the Settlement Agreement and $250,000 was scheduled to be paid on July 1, 2010 and on the first day of each quarter thereafter, until and including the maturity date. The original maturity date was the sooner of (a) July 1, 2011, or (b) the maturity date of Sullivan’s underlying bank loan related to the Second LY Holdings Note. The LNS Obligation has the same interest terms as the Second LY Holdings Note. On February 7, 2011, the Company, along with Sullivan, amended the LNS Obligation and extended the maturity date of the loan to January 10, 2013.

To induce Lightyear to purchase Sullivan’s rights under the Second LY Holdings Note, the Letter Agreement Holders have (a) granted Lightyear an additional security interest in the Letter Agreements to secure LY Holdings’ payments to Lightyear pursuant to the Second LY Holdings Note, and (b) given Lightyear an option pursuant to which Lightyear may purchase the Letter Agreements for $8,000,000 at any time until May 1, 2012.

In the Event of Default, as defined in the Settlement Agreement, Sullivan may (a) declare the outstanding balance and accrued interest to be at once due and payable or (b) declare the Settlement Agreement to be void. If Sullivan voids the Settlement Agreement, (i) the Second LY Holdings Note reverts to Sullivan, (ii) Lightyear will have no further obligation to make any payments to Sullivan, whether for amounts withheld or to become due, (iii) the payments received from Lightyear will be credited against the LNS Obligation, and (iv) Sullivan may pursue remedies of default against LY Holdings and certain Letter Agreement Holders, including the additional security interest.

On August 12, 2010, effective April 29, 2010, (1) Lightyear and Sullivan agreed that Lightyear’s $250,000 July 1, 2010 principal payment on the LNS Obligation would be waived, Lightyear would make a $250,000 principal payment on October 1, 2010; (2) Lightyear and LY Holdings agreed to amend the Second LY Holdings Note to make it a demand note; and (3) in the event that Sullivan voids the Settlement Agreement, LY Holdings will execute a note in favor of LNS in the amount equal to its prior aggregate payments to Sullivan. In addition, all parties waived any entitlement to late charges or a default rate of interest resulting from the non-payment of any scheduled principal payments prior to October 1, 2010. In addition, the parties clarified that (a) Sullivan had been made the beneficiary on the Company’s key man life insurance policy on an executive officer; (b) Sullivan was only permitted to use the $5,000,000 of life insurance proceeds toward the satisfaction of any outstanding LNS Obligation; (c) that any excess proceeds must be returned to Lightyear; and (d) upon repayment of the LNS Obligation in full, Lightyear would become the beneficiary on the key man life insurance policy. On October 1, 2010, the Company paid $361,594 on the LNS Obligation, $250,000 of principal and $111,594 of interest.

On July 16, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Second LY Holdings Note, the interest rate was increased to LIBOR plus 5.75% on all amounts owed up to $7,000,000 and LIBOR plus 8.75% on all amounts owed in excess of $7,000,000, neither of which will exceed 10% per annum.

Notes Receivable from Affiliate

On February 12, 2010, certain investors contributed the First LY Holdings Note to LNSI in exchange for an aggregate of 3,242,533 shares of LNSI stock. The principal of $5,149,980 and the related interest receivable were recorded as a contra-equity item because they represent receivables from an affiliate, LY Holdings. The maturity date of this note receivable is December 31, 2011 and interest accrues at the rate of 5% and quarter end interest payments were scheduled beginning June 30, 2010. On May 11, 2011, LNSI agreed to continue to forbear from demanding payment of past due interest under this note receivable or for commencing any action until June 30, 2011. Interest income on the note receivable was approximately $193,000 and $228,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The $7,750,000 Second LY Holdings Note and the related interest receivable were recorded as contra-equity items because they represent receivables from an affiliate. The principal and the related interest receivable are due on demand. The note receivable bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 6% on the balance up to $7,000,000 and LIBOR plus 9% on the balance in excess of $7,000,000, neither of which will exceed 10% per annum. Interest income on the note receivable was approximately $378,000 and $351,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Intercompany Agreement

On November 4, 2011, the Company, LY Holdings and Sullivan entered into an Intercompany Obligations Settlement Agreement (the “Intercompany Agreement”). Pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement, LY Holdings surrendered all 9,500,000 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock owned by it (plus its right to $2,232,110 of accrued but undeclared and unpaid preferred stock dividends), which will be canceled and retired, in complete satisfaction of LY Holdings' principal indebtedness to LNSI (the First LY Holdings Note and Second LY Holdings Note) of $12,899,980, which was recorded on the books of LNSI as Notes Receivable – Affiliate. In addition, the Intercompany Agreement terminates Lightyear’s (a) security interest in the Letter Agreements; and (b) option to purchase the Letter Agreements for $8,000,000 at any time before May 1, 2012; both of which originated pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The remaining Interest Receivable – Affiliate was restructured, with LY Holdings issuing LNSI a note with a face principal amount of $1,223,203 (the “Interest Note”), which is secured by two million shares of the Company’s common stock owned by LY Holdings. The Interest Note bears interest at the one-year LIBOR rate plus 2% per annum and all principal and interest will be due at the November 4, 2016 maturity date. The Interest Note contains customary events of default, including a default upon a change of control of LY Holdings, and may be accelerated upon any event of default. The redemption of the preferred stock was accounted for by treating the excess of the fair value of the consideration (the Notes Receivable – Affiliate) over the carrying value of the preferred stock as a dividend on the preferred stock which will be deducted from earnings available to common stockholders. The $11,835,530 net 2011 preferred stock dividend is the deemed preferred stock dividend at redemption of $12,930,764, less the reversal of the cumulative dividend of $1,095,234 recorded in 2010. The $12,930,764 deemed preferred stock dividend is primarily equal to the amount of the LY Holdings’ principal indebtedness of $12,899,980 satisfied pursuant to the agreement, plus $30,784 of adjustments, which primarily relate to transaction costs.

Contemporaneously, LNSI amended and restated its obligation payable to Sullivan under the Settlement Agreement by issuing a note with a face principal amount of $6,250,000 (the “Settlement Note”). The Settlement Note will bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 4% per annum, which will be paid quarterly commencing on February 10, 2012. The principal is due to be repaid at the January 10, 2013 maturity date. The Settlement Note contains customary events of default, including a default upon a change of control of either of LNSI or Lightyear LLC, and may be accelerated upon any event of default at a default interest rate that imposes a 5% penalty. On March 20, 2012, Sullivan agreed to forbear from demanding payment until August 30, 2013 of the $6,250,000 principal payment currently scheduled to be paid on January 10, 2013.

The Settlement Note is secured by: (i) a Security Agreement dated as of November 4, 2011 among LNSI, Lightyear LLC and Sullivan through which LNSI and Lightyear LLC grant Sullivan a subordinated security interest in substantially all of the assets of LNSI and of Lightyear LLC; (ii) the personal guaranty of a director; (iii) a Security Agreement between an entity affiliated with a director and Sullivan whereby the entity grants to Sullivan a security interest in its membership interest in thirty percent (30%) of LY Holdings; and (iv) a Security Agreement between an entity affiliated with a different director and Sullivan whereby the entity grants to Sullivan a security interest in the entity’s ten percent (10%) membership interest in LY Holdings. As of the closing of the Intercompany Agreement, LY Holdings owned 10,000,000 shares, or 45.27%, of LNSI’s outstanding common stock.

On November 4, 2011, LNSI entered into a Collateral Release Agreement with LY Holdings and a bank whereby LY Holdings was released from its pledge of 2,000,000 shares of LNSI convertible preferred stock as collateral for the $2,000,000 note owed by LNSI to the bank. Concurrent with the Collateral Release Agreement, LY Holdings and the bank entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement whereby LY Holdings pledged 2,000,000 shares of LNSI common stock owned by LY Holdings as collateral for the note.

At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding $6,250,000 and $7,250,000 on the Settlement Note.

Future maturities of the Settlement Note are as follows:

In contemplation of the Exchange Transaction, on February 4, 2010, an officer assigned the ownership of a split-dollar life insurance policy to Lightyear and Lightyear became the owner and beneficiary under this policy.

On February 12, 2010, in connection with the forgiveness of Lightyear’s intercompany indebtedness to LY Holdings, Lightyear transferred the remaining deferred financing costs in the amount of approximately $811,000 to LY Holdings, since the original debt that gave rise to such costs remains outstanding.

A director of the Company owns an indirect interest in a Lightyear agency. The agency has a standard Lightyear agent agreement and earned approximately $15,000 and $19,000 in commissions from Lightyear during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Since 2008, a former employee (and son of a director) of the Company, has maintained a representative position in a direct selling entity which earned approximately $29,000 and $88,000 in commissions from Lightyear during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This representative position was terminated voluntarily on October 7, 2011.

Commission expense – related parties includes certain VoIP and wireless revenue override payments due to directors of the Company. On June 22, 2011, certain holders of the override rights waived their right to such payments for the second half of 2010 and the full year 2011, which resulted in the Company reversing approximately $86,000 of liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, Lightyear recorded approximately $12,000 and $139,000 of VoIP and wireless revenue override expense, respectively. On February 7, 2012, certain holders of the override rights waived their right to such payments for the year 2012.

Pursuant to a former officer’s employment agreement, Lightyear provided life insurance coverage consisting of $3,000,000 under a whole life policy and $5,000,000 under a term life policy. Lightyear also maintained $5,000,000 under a key man life policy on the same former officer. The proceeds from $2,000,000 of the term life policy and the full proceeds of the key man life policy had been assigned to Sullivan as collateral for the obligations payable – related parties, but Sullivan waived those rights concurrent with the actions described below. Pursuant to a Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement dated April 21, 2011 (see Note Q - Commitments and Contingencies - Consulting and Non-Competition Agreement, for additional details), J. Sherman Henderson, III (“Henderson”) was assigned the term life policy, and Henderson will be responsible for all premiums due on the policy following the assignment. On May 5, 2011, (a) the Company transferred the whole life policy to Henderson who will be responsible for all premiums due on the policy following the assignment; and (b) the Company elected to withdraw the cash surrender value from the whole life policy and prior to December 31, 2011 collected the $0.3 million in cash surrender value included in other assets at December 31, 2010. On July 27, 2011, the Company terminated the key man life policy. Aggregate insurance premium expense for these policies was approximately $50,000 and $81,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Darrell Maynard, former President of SETEL became an employee of Lightyear LLC, in the position of Vice President of Technology, on October 1, 2010. Mr. Maynard is the sole owner of Eastern Telephone and DLM Construction, both of which received payments from Lightyear-KY. On January 1, 2011, Eastern Telephone and DLM Construction combined to form Eastern Telephone and Technologies. On May 31, 2011, Mr. Maynard was terminated and is no longer an employee of Lightyear LLC. Eastern Telephone signed an agreement to become an authorized agent of Lightyear-KY on November 29, 2010. During the period from October 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011, Lightyear-KY has incurred approximately $136,000 in commissions to Eastern Telephone for its services as an Agent. Eastern Telephone ceased operating as an agent for Lightyear-KY effective February 29, 2012.

Lightyear-KY has retained DLM Construction since October 1, 2010 to perform various construction functions.

During the period from October 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011, Lightyear-KY has incurred approximately $7,000 in repairs and maintenance to DLM Construction.

Note N – Supplier Concentration

Of the telecommunications services used in its operations, the Company acquired approximately 28%, 24% and 10% during the year ended December 31, 2011 from three suppliers. Lightyear acquired approximately 31% and 28% during the year ended December 31, 2010 from two suppliers.

Note O – Income Taxes – Continued

The Company’s deferred tax asset recognized, net of the valuation allowance, was based solely upon the tax value of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2011 that are expected to reverse over the period in which the deferred tax assets would be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of taxable income during the periods in which those net operating losses are available. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the change in the valuation allowance was ($276,656) and $4,205,549, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $4,077,610 and $4,312,786, respectively, of aggregate federal and state net operating losses (“NOL”) available for income tax purposes that may be carried forward to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in the year 2030.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, deferred income tax liabilities included a naked tax credit of $129,000 resulting from the purchase by Lightyear-KY of land in the SETEL net asset acquisition. This deferred tax liability will remain on the consolidated balance sheet indefinitely, unless there is a sale of the land.

The income tax benefit consists of the following:

See Note M – Related Party Transactions for details on the Intercompany Agreement.

Recapitalization of Lightyear LLC’s Accumulated Deficit at the Time of the Exchange

On February 12, 2010, Lightyear LLC’s $26,597,754 accumulated deficit was recapitalized as a reduction of additional paid in capital, as the reporting entity reorganized from a limited liability company to a corporation.

Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants

From June to September 2010, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,342.525 unregistered units (each, a “Unit”). Each Unit sold for a price of $4,000 for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,370,100. The net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants were $3,850,796, after deducting fees withheld of $1,013,314 and issuance costs paid of $505,990.

Each Unit consisted of:

1,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value;

500 warrants (the “Fixed Warrants”), which are exercisable immediately, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (subject to adjustments) with a five year term;

2,000 warrants (the “Milestone Warrants”), which become exercisable only as set forth below, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (subject to adjustments) with a three year term, and;

Up to 600 additional warrants (the “Additional Warrants”), exercisable immediately, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share with a five year term, subject to a holding requirement of shares purchased in the Offering.

The Fixed Warrants and Additional Warrants are exercisable at any time before their expiration and are subject to mandatory exercise or redemption, at the election of the Company, on the occurrence of certain conditions. The Milestone Warrants became exercisable only if the Company failed to achieve certain milestone conditions relating to strategic, acquisition, financial and governance issues (each a “Milestone,” and collectively, the “Milestones”). If the Company failed to meet a particular Milestone, the Milestone Warrant became immediately exercisable with respect to the number of shares associated with that Milestone. If the Company met a particular Milestone, then the Milestone Warrant was cancelled with respect to the shares associated with that Milestone. (See Note P – Stockholders’ Deficiency –Warrants)

At the end of each calendar quarter (initially September 30, 2010) following the purchase of the Units, the Company will issue to the original purchaser of Units an Additional Warrant to purchase 30 shares of Common Stock for every 1,000 shares of Common Stock held by that original purchaser (subject to proration). See Note Q – Commitments and Contingencies – Warrant Dispute. The right to Additional Warrants terminates five years from the date of the original issuance of the Common Stock, or upon the transfer of the originally issued Common Stock by the purchaser.

The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with each of the investors purchasing Units. Subject to certain limitations and conditions under the Registration Rights Agreement, upon demand by the holders of a majority of the Units, the Company is required to file a registration statement relating to the resale of (i) the shares of Common Stock sold and (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying each Fixed Warrant and each Milestone Warrant. Lightyear shall use its best efforts to have such “resale” registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after filing and shall respond to any SEC comments within 30 days from receiving such comments. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, if the Company fails to file quarterly and annual reports (the “Periodic Reports”) with the SEC in a timely manner and the investors would otherwise be able to sell Common Stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, the Company must pay partial liquidated damages to the investor equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price of the Units sold in the offering associated with Common Stock still held by the investor for each month the Periodic Reports aren’t current, up to aggregate partial liquidated damages of 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the Units sold in the offering associated with Common Stock still held by the investor. As of December 31, 2011, the investors have not demanded registration of the shares.

The Company engaged selling agents in connection with the sale of Units. The Company paid selling agents aggregate placement fees of $608,412, aggregate financial advisory fees of $300,000, and aggregate expense reimbursement allowances of $101,402. In addition, the Company incurred other costs in connection with the sale of the Units of $505,990. The Company has also agreed to issue aggregate Selling Agent Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the shares of Common Stock issued to investors (including for this purpose the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, to the extent that such warrants are exercisable by the investors) at an exercise price of $4.00 per share with a five year term. The warrants to be issued to the selling agent contain substantially the same terms as the Fixed Warrants.

In connection with the sale of Units, the Company issued Common Stock of 1,342,525 shares, plus Fixed Warrants, Milestone Warrants, Additional Warrants and Selling Agent Warrants to purchase 671,271, 2,685,050, 72,815 and 197,411 shares of Common Stock, respectively.

Warrants

LYH Warrants

On February 12, 2010, the date of the Exchange Transaction, 1,980,557 warrants, were cancelled and LYH assumed full responsibility for 350,000 consultant warrants and the derivative liabilities associated with these warrants.

Milestone Warrants

In connection with the 2010 equity financing, the Company issued warrants to investors to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share with a three year term, which became exercisable if specified milestones were not met (the “Milestone Warrants”). In the event that the specified milestones were not met, the Company was also obligated to issue to the selling agent exercisable five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the “Selling Agent Milestone Warrants”).

During October 2010, as determined by the Board of Directors on November 11, 2010, the Company satisfied two of the milestones associated with the Milestone Warrants, which resulted in the cancellation of Milestone Warrants to purchase 894,152 shares of common stock.

On February 26, 2011, the Company did not meet the third milestone included in the outstanding Milestone Warrants. As a result of not meeting the third milestone, the warrants associated with that milestone were immediately vested and automatically exercised on a cashless basis. In addition, the Company issued 42,210 Selling Agent Milestone Warrants. The Company issued 445,564 shares of its common stock to investors on February 26, 2011 in connection with the cashless exercise of 447,075 Milestone Warrants.

On March 28, 2011, the Company did not meet the fourth and fifth milestones included in the outstanding Milestone Warrants. As a result of not meeting the fourth and fifth milestones, the warrants associated with those milestones were immediately vested and automatically exercised on a cashless basis. In addition, the Company issued 84,512 Selling Agent Milestone Warrants. The Company issued 892,456 shares of its common stock to investors on March 28, 2011 in connection with the cashless exercise of 895,449 Milestone Warrants.

On April 27, 2011, the Company did not meet the sixth milestone included in the outstanding Milestone Warrants. As a result of not meeting the sixth milestone, the warrants associated with this milestone were immediately vested and automatically exercised on a cashless basis. In addition, the Company issued 42,332 Selling Agent Milestone Warrants. The Company issued 445,576 shares of its common stock to investors on April 27, 2011 in connection with the cashless exercise of 448,374 Milestone Warrants.

As of December 31, 2011, there were no remaining Milestone Warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2011, there were 169,084 Selling Agent Milestone Warrants outstanding.

Fixed Warrants

In connection with the 2010 equity financing, the Company issued exercisable five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock to investors and selling agents with an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the “Fixed Warrants”). As of December 31, 2011, there were 861,401 Fixed Warrants outstanding, of which 671,271 were issued to investors and 190,130 were issued to selling agents.

In connection with the 2010 equity financing, the Company periodically issues exercisable five-year warrants to purchase shares of common stock to investors with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and to selling agents with an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the “Additional Warrants”). The Additional Warrants are issued pursuant to a pre-determined formula at the end of each calendar quarter during which shares originally purchased in the equity financing are held by the original investor. The Additional Warrants are eligible to be issued for a period of five years from the equity financing. The Company issued 131,716 Additional Warrants (119,742 were issued to investors and 11,974 were issued to selling agents) during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Stock Plan

The LNSI 2010 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which was approved by the board of directors and the majority stockholder of the Company on May 18, 2010, provides for grants of stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-based or cash awards to the Company’s employees, directors, and independent contractors. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2010 Plan is 1,000,000. As of December 31, 2011, 890,347 shares are available to be issued under the 2010 Plan.

Stock Option Grants

On May 19, 2010, the Company granted a combination of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 780,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.90 to existing employees, pursuant to the 2010 Plan. The options vest ratably over a three year period and expire after ten years. The approximate $1,444,000 grant date fair value was being amortized over the three year vesting term.

Stock Option Grants – Continued

On October 1, 2010, the Company granted incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 155,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.75 to certain key employees that joined the Company in connection with the SETEL asset acquisition, pursuant to the 2010 Plan. The options expire after ten years. The approximate $338,000 grant date fair value is being amortized ratably over the three year vesting term.

On June 7, 2011, the Company’s board of directors approved the repricing of each of the outstanding stock options under the Company’s 2010 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan to an exercise price of $1.25 per share, subject to shareholder approval, which was obtained on July 19, 2011. Since the members of the board of directors controlled enough votes to ensure shareholder approval, the shareholder approval was a formality. As such, the modification was recognized on the date of board approval. As a result of the modification, the Company recorded incremental expense of approximately $84,000 immediately and another incremental $185,000 over the remaining vesting period.

On July 19, 2011, the Company granted incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share to two employees, pursuant to the 2010 Plan. The options vest ratably over a three year period and expire after ten years. The aggregate $36,000 grant date fair value is being amortized over the three year vesting term.

On December 28, 2011, the Company entered into Option Termination Agreements with certain members of its management team (the “Optionees”), including each of the Company’s executive officers, through which the Company agreed to terminate all of the outstanding stock options that were previously issued to the Optionees pursuant to the 2010 Plan. The Optionees each received a total of $1.00 in consideration for the termination of their options, which accounted for 687,500 of the Company’s options outstanding. Such options were deemed to have negligible value as of the termination date. On March 1, 2012, the Company granted ten-year incentive stock options to the Optionees to purchase an aggregate of 732,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share (see Note R – Subsequent Events – Option Grants). Since cancellation and issuance of new options is deemed to represent a modification of the original options, the approximate incremental $63,000 value of the new options has been added to the approximate $663,000 of unrecognized compensation cost associated with the original options and the combined amount of $726,000 will be amortized proportionate to the vesting period.

The Company has computed the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The expected term of options granted represents the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” option grants. Given that LNSI's shares have only been publicly traded in their current form since February 12, 2010, until such time as LNSI has sufficient trading history to compute the historical volatility of its common stock, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of these options, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the options.

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions:

	For The Years Ended
	December 31,
	2011			2010
Risk free interest rate		1.58	%		2.33	%
Expected term (years)		6.00			6.00
Expected volatility		43.10	%		47.00	%
Expected dividends		0.00	%		0.00	%

The weighted average estimated fair value of the stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.36 and $1.90 per share, respectively.

Restricted Stock Grants

On October 12, 2010, the Company granted an aggregate of 16,234 shares of restricted stock to its non-employee directors, pursuant to the 2010 Plan, at a market value of $4.75 per share, the closing price on that date. Accordingly, the approximate $77,000 grant date fair value will be amortized over the one year vesting period.

The Company recognized approximately $46,000 and $16,000 of stock-based compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to non-employee director restricted stock grants, which is reflected as professional fees expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note Q – Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease

The Company leases its office space in Louisville, Kentucky under terms classified as an operating lease. In April 2009, the Company entered into a new lease agreement. The term of the lease was for six years, ending on March 31, 2015. Commencing in October 2009, the Company and the landlord informally agreed to reduce the rent by $15,000 per month. On June 30, 2011, the Company and the landlord agreed to formalize this understanding by modifying the lease agreement. The modified lease agreement has a monthly base rent of approximately $60,000 and the lease term was extended until September 30, 2015. In addition, the landlord formally agreed to forgive the previously unpaid rent and maintenance charges as a lease concession. The resulting deferred rent is being recognized over the remaining life of the lease.

Lightyear-KY leases land and equipment under non-cancelable leases which expire at various times through 2013. The Company leases equipment under a printing service agreement. In August 2010, the Company entered into a new printing service agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay $25,000 per month for a term of three years ending on August 31, 2013.

Lightyear-KY leases property in Pikeville, Kentucky. On July 26, 2011, the Company and the landlord agreed to terminate the lease. There are no liabilities remaining on future rent payments.

Rent expense related to these operating lease agreements, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations, was $495,925 and $582,781 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company subleased office facilities to a tenant on a month to month basis and collected approximately $189,000 and $167,000 in rental fees for December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Litigation

Alden Halpern v. Lightyear Network Solutions, Inc. fka Libra Alliance Corporation was filed in Nevada District Court on March 1, 2012. The plaintiff alleges violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to his purchase of Lightyear securities. Mr. Halpern alleges that Lightyear falsely represented that the shares he was purchasing were “free-trading.” Lightyear denied the allegations. Mr. Halpern claimed damages of $750,000. Lightyear notified its insurance carriers concerning this matter and continues to contest the allegations vigorously. Lightyear has not recorded a provision for any loss that could be incurred as a result of the matter as Lightyear believes the allegations are without merit. The same matter was previously filed on August 31, 2011 in California District Court, but was dismissed without prejudice on December 5, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011, claims have been asserted against Lightyear which arose in the normal course of business. While there can be no assurance, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these legal claims will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Billing Disputes

As of December 31, 2011, Lightyear has disputed certain vendor billings which arose in the normal course of business. While there can be no assurance, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these billing disputes will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Letters of Credit

Warrant Dispute

As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s former selling agent, on behalf of certain investors in the Company’s private placement (see Note P, Stockholders’ Deficiency – Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants), has disputed the Company’s methodology for computing the quantity of Additional Warrants that are issuable at each quarter end. While there can be no assurance, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this dispute will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Employment Agreements

On February 12, 2010, upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company assumed LY Holdings’ employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with the then Chief Executive Officer of the Company (Henderson).

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) -15(e)) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures include many aspects of internal control over financial reporting.

Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2011.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with 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 our consolidated financial statements.

It should be noted, however, that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of the prevention or detection of misstatements. In addition, 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.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, during our fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Director Qualifications

The board of directors believes that each of its current directors possesses particular attributes which qualify him to serve on the board. In addition to the attributes specifically identified for each director in his respective biography above, the board believes that all of the directors possess the following attributes enabling the board to function effectively as a collective body: integrity, collegial spirit, sound business judgment, professionalism, ability to generate public confidence, ability to act independently, and availability and commitment to serve.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has two standing committees to assist it with its responsibilities. The functions traditionally provided by a nominating committee are provided by the full board.

The Audit Committee is governed by a board-approved charter that contains, among other things, the committee’s membership requirements and responsibilities. The Audit Committee oversees our accounting, financial reporting process, internal controls and audits, and consults with management and our independent auditors on, among other items, matters related to our annual audit, our published financial statements and the accounting principles applied. As part of its duties, the Audit Committee appoints, evaluates and retains our independent auditors. It maintains direct responsibility for the compensation, termination and oversight of our independent auditors and evaluates the independent auditors’ qualifications, performance and independence. The committee is also charged with monitoring compliance with our policies on ethical business practices and reporting on these items to the board of directors. The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for the pre-approval of all services provided by the independent auditors. Our Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Hardesty and Lunsford, both independent directors as defined by the rules of the NASDAQ. Mr. Hardesty is the chairman of the committee. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Hardesty is the Audit Committee financial expert, as defined under the Exchange Act. The board of directors made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Hardesty’s level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his formal education and experience.

Pursuant to its board-approved charter, the Compensation Committee determines all compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer; reviews and approves corporate goals relevant to the compensation of these officers and evaluates these officers’ performance in light of those goals and objectives; reviews and approves objectives relevant to other executive officer compensation; reviews and approves the compensation of other executive officers in accordance with those objectives; administers our stock option plans; approves severance arrangements and other applicable agreements for executive officers; and consults generally with management on matters concerning executive compensation and on pension, savings and welfare benefit plans where board of directors or stockholder action is contemplated with respect to the adoption of or amendments to such plans. The committee makes recommendations on organization, succession, the election of officers, consultantships and similar matters where board approval is required. Our Compensation Committee is comprised of Messrs. Lunsford and Carmicle, and Mr. Lunsford is the chairman of the committee. The board considers that the members of the Compensation Committee are generally sufficiently experienced to conduct committee functions without external third party advisors

LNSI does not have a standing nominating committee or committee performing similar functions. Because of our small size, the board of directors believes that it is appropriate for LNSI not to have such a committee. All the directors participate in the consideration of director nominees.

When evaluating director nominees, the board of directors considers the following factors:

The appropriate size of the board.

The company’s needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of company directors.

Knowledge, skills and experience of prospective nominees, including experience in finance, administration and telecommunications.

Experience with accounting rules and practices.

The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new board members.

The Company’s goal is to assemble a board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. The board of directors does not have a specific policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders.

Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Advisors

Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Advisors applying to our senior financial advisors, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer (the “Code”). The Code is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote (i) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, (ii) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents filed with, or submitted to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us, (iii) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, (iv) the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to appropriate persons identified in the Code, and (v) accountability for adherence to the Code. The Code is posted to our website at www.lightyear.net. Information contained on the Company’s website is not incorporated in and is not part of this annual report. In addition, the Company intends to disclose on its website (1) the nature of any amendment to a provision of the Code that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions and (2) the nature of any waiver from provisions of the Code that is granted to one of these specified individuals, the name of the person to whom the waiver was granted and the date of the waiver.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of any publicly traded class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our equity securities with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely on the reports received and on the representations of the reporting persons, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during 2011, except that W. Bruce Lunsford filed a late Form 4 on January 9, 2012 for warrants to purchase Lightyear common stock that he received on December 31, 2011.

The 2010 Plan is intended to (a) increase our profitability and growth, (b) provide competitive compensation to employees, (c) attract and retain exceptional personnel and encourage excellence in the performance of individual responsibilities, and (d) motivate key employees and directors to contribute to our success.

On July 19, 2011, our stockholders approved the repricing of each outstanding stock option issued under the 2010 Plan to an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The repricing was effecting as of June 7, 2011, the date the board approved the repricing.

On December 28, 2011, we entered into option termination agreements with certain members of our management team, including all of our named executive officers, through which we terminated all of the options previously issued to those persons under the 2010 Plan. Each of our named executive officers received a bonus payment totaling $1.00 in consideration of the termination of his or her stock options.

As of December 31, 2011, there were 129,166 options and 0 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding under the 2010 Plan and 857,847 shares remained available for issuance under the plan.

On March 1, 2012, the Company granted ten-year options to certain named executive officers to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share. The options vest 50% immediately and 50% on the one year anniversary of the grant. The quantity of shares purchasable pursuant to the options by each named executive officer is as follows:

For information regarding the basis of control of, and the percentage of voting securities owned by LY Holdings, please refer to Item 12 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

Reverse Merger Transaction

In February 2010, LNSI and LY Holdings entered into a reverse merger transaction (the “RTO”) whereby LY Holdings exchanged 100% of the equity ownership of Lightyear LLC for 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 9,500,000 shares of preferred stock of Lightyear. Also as part of the RTO, certain holders of LY Holdings debt securities exchanged those securities for 3,242,533 shares of LNSI common stock. As a result of the RTO, LY Holdings and the former holders of LY Holdings debt securities held approximately 69% and 10.5%, respectively, of our then outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, and LNSI held all of the equity of Lightyear LLC and approximately $5.15 million of LY Holdings debt securities (the “First LY Holdings Note”).

The First LY Holdings Note bore interest at an annual rate of 5% and quarterly interest payments were scheduled to begin June 30, 2010. On May 11, 2011, Lightyear agreed to continue to forbear from demanding payment of past due interest under the First LY Holdings Note or commencing any action until June 30, 2011. During 2011, (i) the largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding on the First LY Holdings Note was $5.1 million, and (ii) LY Holdings paid no principal on the First LY Holdings Note.

On November 4, 2011, the First LY Holdings Note was satisfied pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement (see details further on).

Letter Agreements

In consideration of their loans to LY Holdings in July 2004 and July 2008, LY Holdings and Lightyear LLC executed agreements (individually, the “Letter Agreements”) with (i) LANJK, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“LANJK”), (ii) Rice Realty Company, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company (“RRC”), (iii) Rigdon O. Dees, III, (iv) CTS Equities Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership (“CTS”), and (v) Ronald L. Carmicle (collectively with LANJK, RRC, Mr. Dees and CTS, the “Letter Agreement Holders”) whereby LY Holdings and Lightyear LLC agreed to pay each of the Letter Agreement Holders, in addition to principal and interest payments on the accompanying notes, monthly payments equal to 3% and 4% of the gross commissionable monthly revenue from Lightyear LLC’s sales of wireless service offerings and VoIP offerings, respectively (the “Revenue Payments”). The Letter Agreements have terms of ten years unless terminated early due to a sale of all or substantially all of LY Holdings. Upon an early termination event, Lightyear LLC would be obligated to pay the Letter Agreement Holders a termination fee equaling the sum of the Revenue Payments for the immediately preceding twelve full months.

LANJK is managed by J. Sherman Henderson III and is wholly-owned by Mr. Henderson’s wife. RRC is wholly-owned and managed by the wife and two adult children of W. Brent Rice. CTS is wholly-owned and managed by Mr. Sullivan. Messrs. Sullivan, Henderson, Rice and Carmicle are currently directors of Lightyear. Until October 1, 2010, Mr. Dees was a director of Lightyear. Mr. Henderson had been Lightyear’s Chief Executive Officer. Messrs. Henderson, Sullivan, Rice, Carmicle and Dees are directors of LY Holdings.

On June 22, 2011, certain holders of Letter Agreements agreed to waive their rights to Revenue Payments for the remainder of 2010 and 2011. On February 7, 2012, certain holders of Letter Agreements also agreed to waive their rights to Revenue Payments for 2012. We recognized $12,000 and $139,000 of Revenue Payment expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

First Modification to Letter Agreements

On February 12, 2010, LY Holdings, Lightyear LLC and each of the Letter Agreement Holders entered into the First Modification to Letter Agreements, pursuant to which the Letter Agreements were modified to, among other things, release and discharge LY Holdings from all obligations under the Letter Agreements.

Settlement Agreement

In connection with a loan made by Mr. Sullivan to LY Holdings in 2004, on February 11, 2010 LY Holdings issued an amended promissory note (the “Second LY Holdings Note”) to Mr. Sullivan in the original principal amount of $8.0 million, having a maturity date of July 1, 2010. The Second LY Holdings Note originally bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.75% on all amounts owed up to $7.0 million and LIBOR plus 7.75% on all amounts owed in excess of $7.0 million. On July 16, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Second LY Holdings Note, its interest rate was increased to LIBOR plus 5.75% on all amounts owed up to $7 million and LIBOR plus 8.75% on all amounts owed in excess of $7.0 million, neither of which may exceed 10% per annum.

The Second LY Holdings Note was secured by a security interest in (i) all of the Lightyear common stock and 7,500,000 shares of the Lightyear preferred stock held by LY Holdings and (ii) the membership interests in LY Holdings held by LANJK and Rice-LY, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company managed by Mr. Rice.

On April 29, 2010, Lightyear LLC, LY Holdings, Mr. Sullivan and the Letter Agreement Holders entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which: (1) Lightyear LLC purchased the Second LY Holdings Note from Mr. Sullivan for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.75 million (the “LNS Obligation”); (2) LY Holdings became indebted to Lightyear LLC pursuant to and in the amount of the Second LY Holdings Note; and (3) Lightyear LLC became obligated to reimburse LY Holdings for $260,000 (the “LY Holdings Reimbursement”) in advances made by LY Holdings to Mr. Sullivan after the parties reached an agreement in principle, but before the execution of the Settlement Agreement. Of the entire LNS Obligation, $250,000 was paid contemporaneously with the execution of the Settlement Agreement, and installment payments of $250,000 were scheduled for July 1, 2010 and on the first day of each quarter thereafter, until and including the maturity date. The LNS Obligation bore the same interest terms as the Second LY Holdings Note.

During 2011, (i) the largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding on the LNS Obligation was $7.75 million, and (ii) Lightyear LLC paid $0.5 million in principal on the LNS Obligation.

The maturity date of the LNS Obligation is tied to that of a promissory note made by Mr. Sullivan in favor of Fifth Third Bank (the “Fifth Third Note”). Payments made under the Settlement Agreement are required to be, and have been to date, made to Fifth Third Bank as payment on the Fifth Third Note, as directed by Mr. Sullivan.

To induce Lightyear LLC to purchase Mr. Sullivan’s rights under the Second LY Holdings Note, the Letter Agreement Holders: (a) granted Lightyear LLC an additional security interest in the Letter Agreements to secure LY Holding’s payments to Lightyear pursuant to the Second LY Holdings Note, and (b) granted Lightyear LLC an option pursuant to which Lightyear LLC was able to purchase the Letter Agreements for $8.0 million at any time until May 1, 2012.

In an Event of Default, as defined in the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Sullivan had the right to (a) declare the outstanding balance and accrued interest to be at once due and payable or (b) declare the Settlement Agreement to be void. If Mr. Sullivan voided the Settlement Agreement, (i) the Second LY Holdings Note reverted to Mr. Sullivan, (ii) Lightyear LLC would have no further obligation to make any payments to Mr. Sullivan, whether for amounts withheld or to become due, (iii) the payments received from Lightyear LLC would be credited against the LNS Obligation, and (iv) Mr. Sullivan had the right to pursue remedies of default against LY Holdings and certain Letter Agreement Holders, including the additional security interest.

On August 12, 2010, effective April 29, 2010, LY Holdings, Lightyear LLC, Mr. Sullivan and the Letter Agreement Holders entered into the First Amendment to Settlement Agreement, whereby the parties agreed that: (1) Lightyear LLC’s $250,000 July 1, 2010 principal payment on the LNS Obligation would be waived; (2) Lightyear LLC would make a $250,000 principal payment on October 1, 2010; (3) Lightyear LLC and LY Holdings agreed to amend the Second LY Holdings Note to make it a demand note; and (4) in the event that Mr. Sullivan voids the Settlement Agreement, LY Holdings will execute a note in favor of Lightyear LLC in an amount equal to Lightyear LLC’s prior aggregate payments to Mr. Sullivan. In addition, all parties waived any entitlement to late charges or a default rate of interest resulting from the non-payment of any scheduled principal payments before October 1, 2010. The parties also clarified that (a) Mr. Sullivan was the beneficiary on our key man life insurance policy; (b) Mr. Sullivan was only permitted to use the $5 million of life insurance proceeds toward the satisfaction of any outstanding LNS Obligation; (c) that any excess proceeds would be returned to Lightyear LLC; and (d) upon repayment of the LNS Obligation in full, Lightyear LLC would become the beneficiary on the key man life insurance policy.

On February 7, 2011, LY Holdings, Lightyear LLC, Mr. Sullivan and the Letter Agreement Holders entered into the Second Amendment to Settlement Agreement amending the Settlement Agreement whereby the parties:

	1.	Acknowledged the aggregate $1.5 million in payments previously made under the Settlement Agreement to Fifth Third Bank by Lightyear LLC, as directed by Mr. Sullivan;

	2.	Acknowledged extension of the maturity date of the Fifth Third Note to January 10, 2013;

	3.	Modified and extended the maturity date of the Settlement Agreement to January 10, 2013; and,

	4.	Modified and amended the Settlement Agreement’s payment schedule.

Under the revised payment schedule, Lightyear LLC was scheduled to: (1) on February 10, 2011 and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, until and including the maturity date, make payment of all accrued but unpaid interest under the Settlement Agreement, as amended; (2) on January 10, 2012, make a payment of $1 Million to Fifth Third Bank (as directed by Mr. Sullivan) which will constitute a principal payment under the Settlement Agreement; and, (3) on the maturity date, make a final payment of all remaining principal.

On November 4, 2011, the Second LY Holdings Note was satisfied pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement (see details further on) and the LNS Obligation was restructured as a note.

Intercompany Agreement

The remaining Interest Receivable – Affiliate was restructured, with LY Holdings issuing LNSI a note with a face principal amount of $1,223,203 (the “Interest Note”), which is secured by two million shares of the Company’s common stock owned by LY Holdings. The Interest Note bears interest at the one-year LIBOR rate plus 2% per annum and all principal and interest is due at the November 4, 2016 maturity date. The Interest Note contains customary events of default, including a default upon a change of control of LY Holdings, and may be accelerated upon any event of default. The redemption of the preferred stock was accounted for by treating the excess of the fair value of the consideration (the Notes Receivable from Affiliates) over the carrying value of the preferred stock as a dividend on the preferred stock which was be deducted from earnings available to common stockholders. The $11,835,530 net 2011 preferred stock dividend is the deemed preferred stock dividend at redemption of $12,930,764, less the reversal of the cumulative dividend of $1,095,234 recorded in 2010. The $12,930,764 deemed preferred stock dividend is primarily equal to the amount of the LY Holdings’ principal indebtedness of $12,899,980 satisfied pursuant to the agreement, plus $30,784 of adjustments, which primarily relate to transaction costs.

Contemporaneously, LNSI amended and restated its obligation payable to Sullivan under the Settlement Agreement by issuing a note with a face principal amount of $6,250,000 (the “Settlement Note”). The Settlement Note bears interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 4% per annum, which will be paid quarterly commencing on February 10, 2012. The principal was scheduled to be repaid at the January 10, 2013 maturity date. The Settlement Note contains customary events of default, including a default upon a change of control of either of LNSI or Lightyear LLC, and may be accelerated upon any event of default at a default interest rate that imposes a 5% penalty.

During 2011, (i) the largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding on the Settlement Note was $7.25 million, and (ii) Lightyear LLC paid $1 million in principal on the Settlement Note (or its predecessor, the LNS Obligation).

On March 20, 2012, Sullivan agreed to forbear from demanding payment until August 30, 2013 of the $6,250,000 principal payment currently scheduled to be paid on January 10, 2013.

U.S. Fiber

J. Sherman Henderson III owns an indirect interest in a Lightyear agency by the name of U.S. Fiber. U.S. Fiber has a standard Lightyear agent agreement and it earned approximately $15,000 and $19,000 in commissions from Lightyear in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

First Savings Bank Notes/Carmicle Agreement

On March 17, 2010, Lightyear LLC entered into a $1 million secured promissory note (the "2010 FSB Note") with First Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“FSB”), of Clarksville, Indiana. Borrowings under the 2010 FSB Note were secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of our tangible and intangible assets, including Lightyear LLC’s lockbox account and its operating account, and by the personal guaranties of J. Sherman Henderson III and Ronald L. Carmicle. Mr. Henderson is Chief Executive Officer and a director of Lightyear. Mr. Carmicle is a director of Lightyear.

On January 21, 2011, Lightyear entered into a $2.0 million secured promissory note (the "2011 FSB Note") with FSB. Through March 28, 2011, we have drawn a total of $2.0 million from FSB under this arrangement. A portion of these proceeds were used to make a $1.0 million payment under the Settlement Agreement.

Borrowings under the 2011 FSB Note were partially secured by the personal guaranties of Messrs. Henderson and Carmicle. Mr. Carmicle’s personal guaranty is limited to $750,000. Pursuant to an agreement dated January 21, 2011, in consideration for his personal guaranty of the 2011 FSB Note, we will pay Mr. Carmicle $60,000 for each year in which such guaranty is in effect, payable in monthly installments of $5,000.

Private Placement

On September 29, 2010, an affiliate of W. Bruce Lunsford, a director of Lightyear, purchased an aggregate of 75 unregistered units (each, a “Unit”) from Lightyear. Each Unit was purchased at a price of $4,000 for aggregate consideration of $0.3 million.

Each Unit consists of:

1,000 shares of Lightyear Common Stock;

500 warrants (the “Fixed Warrants”), which are currently exercisable, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (subject to adjustments);

2,000 warrants (the “Milestone Warrants”), which become exercisable only pursuant to certain conditions, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (subject to adjustments); and

Up to 600 additional warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to a holding requirement of shares underlying the purchased Units.

The Fixed Warrants and the Milestone Warrants have terms of five and three years, respectively. Fixed Warrants are exercisable at any time before their expiration and are subject to mandatory exercise or redemption on the occurrence of certain conditions.

The Milestone Warrants become exercisable only if we fail to achieve certain milestone conditions relating to strategic, acquisition, financial and governance issues (each a “Milestone,” and collectively, the “Milestones”). If we fail to meet a particular Milestone, the Milestone Warrant becomes immediately exercisable with respect to the number of shares associated with that Milestone. If we meet a particular Milestone, then the Milestone Warrant will not be exercisable with respect to the shares associated with that Milestone.

At the end of each calendar quarter following the purchase of the Units, we will issue to the original purchaser of Units an Additional Warrant to purchase 30 shares of Common Stock for every 1,000 shares of Common Stock held by that original purchaser (subject to proration) at an exercise price of $0.01 per warrant share. The right to Additional Warrants terminates five years from the date of the original issuance of the Common Stock, or upon the transfer of the originally issued Common Stock by the purchaser. Other than the exercise price, the Additional Warrants contain substantially the same terms as the Fixed Warrants.

Henderson Life Insurance Policy

Lightyear maintained a $5 million key man life insurance policy on Mr. Henderson, with Lightyear listed as the beneficiary. The proceeds from this policy had been assigned to Mr. Sullivan as collateral for the LNS Obligation. In 2011, subsequent to Mr. Henderson’s termination on April 30, 2011, Lightyear either terminated or transferred to Mr. Henderson, this and other life insurance policies. Lightyear paid approximately $50,000 in premiums on these life insurance policies in 2011.

Director Independence

The board of directors has determined that W. Bruce Lunsford and Jeffrey T. Hardesty are considered independent directors. The board of directors has adopted the NASDAQ rules regarding director independence which define persons as “independent” who are neither officers nor employees of the company and have no relationships that, in the opinion of the board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities as directors. The board of directors has determined that Ronald L. Carmicle, a member of the Compensation Committee, is not “independent” under the NASDAQ rules for director independence.

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures

Effective with the formation of our Audit Committee, all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for us by our independent auditors will be pre-approved, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which should nonetheless be approved by the board of directors prior to the completion of the audit. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor's independence from management. At each such subsequent meeting, the auditor and management may present subsequent services for approval. Typically, these would be services such as due diligence for an acquisition, that would not have been known at the beginning of the year.
