INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
To the Management and Members of
Interconnect Services Group II, LLC and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Interconnect Services Group II, LLC and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. An audit includes 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Interconnect Services Group II, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the 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.

INTERCONNECT SERVICES GROUP II, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the Six Months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

 
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Network Billing Systems, LLC (“NBS”) and Interconnect Services Group II, LLC (“ISG”) (collectively, the “Company”) are New Jersey Limited Liability Companies under common control.  The Company is a provider of Internet Protocol ("IP")-based digital voice and data communications services to small and medium sized organizations, and to a limited number of residential customers.  The Company's services include local, long distance, and international Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") services; broadband Internet access; private line circuits; audio and web conference calling; fax services; and a variety of other communications services.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ISG and NBS.  The Company has determined that NBS is a variable interest entity for which ISG is the primary beneficiary.  As a result, NBS is consolidated into the financial statements of ISG in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810.  In addition, the consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of Local Network Services, LLC (“LNS”), a variable interest entity for which ISG is also the primary beneficiary.  The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been made.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Fixed revenue is earned from monthly recurring services provided to the customer, for which the charges are contracted over a specified period of time.  Revenue recognition commences after the provisioning, testing and acceptance of the service by the customer.  The recurring customer charges continue until the expiration of the contract, or until cancellation of the service by the customer.  To the extent that payments received from a customer are related to a future period, they are recorded as deferred revenue until the service is provided or the usage occurs.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates accounts receivable and records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s history of past write-offs, collections experience and current credit conditions.  Specific customer accounts are written off as uncollectible when collection efforts have been exhausted and payments are not expected to be received.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of costs incurred from domestic communications carriers to originate, transport, and terminate voice calls and data traffic for the Company’s customers.

Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of switches, routers, handsets and ancillary items and is recorded at the lower of cost or market value.  The cost of inventory shipped to customers for which the Company retains title is amortized over a period of two years and is reflected in cost of sales.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets represent customer relationships acquired in connection with a business combination, and are amortized using the straight-line method over the asset’s three year useful life.  In determining fair value, the Company generally uses the income approach, which involves estimating the present value of the subject asset’s future cash flows by using projections of the cash flows that the asset is expected to generate, and discounting these cash flows at a given rate of return. This methodology requires the use of management estimates and assumptions.

INTERCONNECT SERVICES GROUP II, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the Six Months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.  If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of the asset and recognize an impairment charge to the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value.  The Company did not record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
Asset
 
Estimated Useful Lives
Switch equipment
 
5 Years
Furniture and fixtures
 
7 Years
Vehicles
 
5 Years
Office and computer equipment (including internally developed software)
 
3-5 Years

Maintenance and repairs are recorded as a period expense, while betterments and improvements are capitalized.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement.

The Company capitalizes a portion of its payroll and related costs for the development of software for internal use and amortizes these costs over three years.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company capitalized costs pertaining to the development of internally used software in the amount of $828,000 and $818,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company capitalized costs pertaining to the development of internally used software in the amount of $441,000 and $414,000, respectively.

Capital Leases and Equipment Financing Obligations
Leases and equipment financing obligations pertain to leases related to some of the Company’s property and equipment for which the lease term is at least 75% of the assets’ useful lives or for which the present value of the minimum lease payments exceed 90% of the assets’ fair value.  In addition, at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Capital leases and equipment financing obligations reflect the remaining balance on an installment loan securing one of the Company’s vehicles in the amount of $29,000 and $34,000, respectively.

Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing expense includes cost for promotional materials for the marketing of the Company’s products and services, as well as for participation in trade shows and events.  Advertising and marketing expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $44,000 and $36,000, respectively.  Advertising and marketing expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $12,000 and $13,000, respectively.

Income Taxes
ISG and NBS are disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes.  Taxable income or losses generated by these   entities are reflected in the income tax returns of the members of the respective entities.  As a result, the Company has not recorded any provision for income taxes.  U.S. GAAP requires the Company to determine to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for all tax years since 2008 and may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could be affected by those estimates.
