Summary

 

We are a holding company operating in the telecommunications industry which manages and develops our wholly-owned subsidiaries focused on the development of telecommunications networks, acting as a service and support provider and providing temporary and part-time staffing solutions. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Optos Capital Partners, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company (“Optos”) , we operate the following wholly-owned entities:

 

·Focus Fiber Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Focus Fiber”), specializes in the design, engineering, installation, and maintenance of a telecommunications infrastructure network.

 

·Jus-Com, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Jus-Com”), is a telecommunication service provider providing various services including engineering consulting, design, installation and emergency response in various categories including cable rack/wiring build-outs, infrastructure build-outs, DC power installation, fiber cable splicing and security camera installation.

 

·CMK Resources Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CMK”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Townsend Careers LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Townsend”), operates as a temporary and permanent staffing agency specializing in the telecommunications market.

 

Acquisition Strategy

 

With respect to its acquisition strategy, Focus intends to pursue a clearly defined telecommunications niche but may, in its discretion, pursue acquisitions outside of this niche although this will not be our focus. We selectively pursue acquisitions when we believe doing so is operationally and financially beneficial to our existing operations, although we do not rely solely on acquisitions for growth. In particular, we pursue those acquisitions that we believe will provide us with incremental revenue and geographic diversification while complementing our existing operations. We generally target companies for acquisition that have defensible leadership positions in their market niches, EBITDA positive which meets or exceeds industry averages, proven operating histories, sound management, and certain clearly identifiable cost synergies.

 

Our History

 

We are a Nevada corporation formed on March 26, 2012.  On May 9, 2012, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with Optos, whereby we acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Optos in consideration of 23,980,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As we were only formed in March 2012 and we acquired Optos in May 2012, we have included the financial statement for Optos for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Optos was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 15, 2008. Optos is the sole member of Focus Fiber. In addition, Optos held a majority interest in CMK until January 1, 2012, when it acquired the remaining interest in CMK. CMK is the sole member of Townsend. Jus-Com was acquired by the common management and ownership on September 6, 2011. Subsequently, on January 1, 2012, Jus-Com was acquired by Optos. Our organization structure is summarized below:

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision, and you should only consider an investment in our common stock if you can afford to sustain the loss of your entire investment.  If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer.  In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

We depend upon key personnel and need additional personnel.

 

Our success depends on the continuing services of Christopher Ferguson, our Chief Executive Officer and our sole director.  The loss of Mr. Ferguson could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations.  Additionally, the success of the Company’s operations will largely depend upon its ability to successfully attract and maintain competent and qualified key management personnel. As with any company with limited resources, there can be no guaranty that the Company will be able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into profitability for the Company.  Our inability to attract and retain key personnel may materially and adversely affect our business operations.

 

We possess a significant amount of accounts receivable and if we are unable to collect account receivables in a timely manner or at all our cash flow and profitability will be negative impacted, which such risk is heighted during unstable economic periods.

 

We extend credit to our customers as a result of performing work under contract prior to billing our customers for that work. These customers include telephone companies, cable television multiple system operators and others. We had accounts receivable of approximately $ 4.0 million at December 31, 2011 and $8.8 million for the six months then ended June 30, 2012. We periodically assess the credit risk of our customers and continuously monitor the timeliness of payments. Slowdowns in the industries we serve may impair the financial condition of one or more of our customers and hinder their ability to pay us on a timely basis or at all. Further bankruptcies or financial difficulties within the telecommunications sector could hinder the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis or at all, reducing our cash flows and adversely impacting our liquidity and profitability. Additionally, we could incur losses in excess of current bad debt allowances.

 

We must effectively manage the growth of our operations and effectively integrate acquisitions, or our company will suffer.

 

To manage our growth and effectively integrate acquisitions, we believe we must continue to implement and improve our operations. We may not have adequately evaluated the costs and risks associated with this expansion, and our systems, procedures, and controls may not be adequate to support our operations. In addition, our management may not be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully offer our products and services and implement our business plan on a profitable basis. The success of our future operating activities will also depend upon our ability to expand our support system to meet the demands of our growing business. Any failure by our management to effectively anticipate, implement, and manage changes required to sustain our growth would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers, and the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely impact our revenues and profitability.

 

Our customer base is highly concentrated. For the year ended December 31, 2011, one customer represented approximately 73.7% of revenues or 72.2% of outstanding receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2010, five customers represented approximately 61.5% of revenues or 74.6% of the outstanding accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, three customers represented approximately 83.7% of revenues or 93.6% of the outstanding receivable balance. Our revenue may significantly decline if we were to lose one or more of our significant customers. In addition, revenues under our contracts with significant customers may vary from period-to-period depending on the timing and volume of work which those customers order or perform with their in-house service organizations. Additionally, consolidations, mergers and acquisitions in the telecommunications and staffing industries have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. The consolidation, merger or acquisition of an existing customer may result in a change in procurement strategies by the surviving entity. Reduced demand for our services or a change in procurement strategy of a significant customer could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

 

There is competition for those private companies suitable for a merger transaction of the type contemplated by management.

 

We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of telecommunications business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of implementing our acquisition strategy. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking acquisitions in the telecommunications space. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of implementing our business strategy.

 

6
 

  

Failure to integrate future acquisitions successfully could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

As part of our growth strategy, we may acquire companies that expand, complement, or diversify our business. We regularly review various opportunities and periodically engage in discussions regarding possible acquisitions. Future acquisitions may expose us to operational challenges and risks, including the diversion of management’s attention from our existing business, the failure to retain key personnel or customers of an acquired business, the assumption of unknown liabilities of the acquired business for which there are inadequate reserves and the potential impairment of acquired intangible assets. Our ability to sustain our growth and maintain our competitive position may be affected by our ability to successfully integrate any businesses acquired.

 

We may not have access in the future to sufficient funding to finance desired growth.

 

Using cash for acquisitions may limit our financial flexibility and make us more likely to seek additional capital through future debt or equity financings. Our existing debt agreements contain significant restrictions on our operational and financial flexibility, including our ability to incur additional debt, and if we seek more debt we may be required to agree to additional covenants that limit our operational and financial flexibility. If we seek additional debt or equity financings, we cannot be certain that additional debt or equity will be available to us on terms acceptable to us or at all.

 

There are limitations on director/officer liability.

 

As permitted by Nevada law, our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty except for liability in certain instances. As a result of our charter provision and Nevada law, stockholders may have limited rights to recover against directors for breach of fiduciary duty.

 

We are an "emerging growth company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including:

· not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
· reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and
· exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.0 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Risks Relating to the Telecommunications Industry

 

Service level agreements in our customer agreements could subject us to liability or the loss of revenue.

 

Our contracts with customers typically contain service guarantees and service delivery date targets, which if not met by us, enable customers to claim credits against their payments to us and, under certain conditions, terminate their agreements. Our inability to meet our service level guarantees could adversely affect our revenue and cash flow. While we typically have carve-outs for force majeure events, many events, such as fiber cuts, equipment failure and third-party vendors being unable to meet their underlying commitments or service level agreements with us, could impact our ability to meet our service level agreements and are potentially out of our control.

 

Our backlog is subject to reduction and/or cancellation.

 

Our backlog consists of the uncompleted portion of services to be performed under job-specific contracts and the estimated value of future services that we expect to provide under master service agreements and other long-term requirements contracts. Many of our contracts are multi-year agreements, and we include in our backlog the amount of services projected to be performed over the terms of the contracts based on our historical experience with customers and, more generally our experience in procurements of this type. In many instances, our customers are not contractually committed to procure specific volumes of services under a contract. Our estimates of a customer’s requirements during a particular future period may not prove to be accurate, particularly in light of the current economic conditions and the uncertainty that imposes on changes in our customer’s requirements for our services. If our estimated backlog is significantly inaccurate or does not result in future profits, this could adversely affect our future growth and the price of our common stock.

 

Any failure of our physical infrastructure or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could reduce our revenues, harm our business reputation, and have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 

Our business depends on providing customers with highly reliable service. The services we provide are subject to failure resulting from numerous factors, including:

 

•  human error;

 

•  power loss;

 

•  physical or electronic security breaches;

 

•  fire, earthquake, hurricane, flood, and other natural disasters;

 

•  water damage;

 

•  the effect of war, terrorism, and any related conflicts or similar events worldwide; and

 

•  sabotage and vandalism.

Problems within our network, whether or not within our control, could result in service interruptions or equipment damage. In the past we have at times experienced instability in our equipment attributed to equipment failure and power outages. Although such disruptions have been remedied and the network has been stabilized, there can be no assurance that similar disruptions will not occur in the future. We have service level commitment obligations with substantially all of our customers. As a result, service interruptions or equipment damage could result in credits for service interruptions to these customers. We have at times in the past given credits to our customers as a result of service interruptions due to equipment failures. We cannot assume that our customers will accept these credits as compensation in the future. Also, service interruptions and equipment failures may expose us to additional legal liability.

 

The failure of certain key suppliers to provide us with components could have a severe and negative impact upon our business.

 

We rely on a small group of suppliers to provide us with components for our products and services. If these suppliers become unwilling or unable to provide components, there are a limited number of alternative suppliers who could provide them. Changes in business conditions, wars, governmental changes, and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate could affect our ability to receive components from our suppliers. Further, it could be difficult to find replacement components if our current suppliers fail to provide the parts needed for these products and services. A failure by our major suppliers to provide these components could severely restrict our ability to provide our services and prevent us from fulfilling customer orders in a timely fashion.

 

The telecommunications industry is highly competitive, and contains competitors that have significantly greater resources and a more diversified base of existing customers than we do.

 

Many of our competitors within the telecommunications industry have greater financial, managerial, sales and marketing and research and development resources than we do and are able to promote their brands with significantly larger budgets. Many of these competitors have the added advantage of a larger, more diversified customer base. If we fail to develop and maintain brand recognition through sales and marketing efforts and a reputation for high-quality service, we may be unable to attract new customers and risk losing existing customers to competitors with better known brands.

 

In addition, significant new competition could arise as a result of:

 

•  The growth of installation departments within fiber option companies;

 

•  consolidation in the contractor industry, leading to larger competitors with more expansive networks; and

 

•  further technological advances rendering fiber optic broadband and other installation services outdated.

 

If we are unable to compete successfully, our business will be significantly affected.

 

If we do not adapt to swift changes in the telecommunications industry, we could lose customers or market share.

 

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new service introductions, shifting distribution channels, and changing customer demands. We may not be able to adequately adapt our services or acquire new services that can compete successfully. Our failure to obtain and integrate new technologies and applications could impact the breadth of our service portfolio resulting in service gaps, a less differentiated service suite and a less compelling offering to customers. We risk losing customers to our competitors if we are unable to adapt to this rapidly evolving marketplace.

 

9
 

 

In addition, the introduction of new services or technologies, as well as the further development of existing services and technologies, may reduce the cost or increase the supply of certain services similar to those that we provide. As a result, our most significant competitors in the future may be new entrants to the telecommunications industry. These new entrants may not be burdened by an installed base of outdated equipment or obsolete technology. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate and adapt in a timely manner to technological changes. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We are subject to significant regulation that could change or otherwise impact us in an adverse manner.

 

Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations including:

 

·licensing, permitting and inspection requirements applicable to contractors, electricians and engineers;
·regulations relating to worker safety and environmental protection;
·permitting and inspection requirements applicable to construction projects;
·wage and hour regulations;
·regulations relating to transportation of equipment and materials, including licensing and permitting requirements; and
·building and electrical codes.

 

We believe that we have all the licenses required to conduct our operations and that we are in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Our failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating licenses, as well as give rise to termination or cancellation rights under our contracts or disqualify us from future bidding opportunities.

 

Legislative actions and initiatives relating to telecommunications may not result in an increase in demand for our services.

 

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) originally allocated $7.2 billion in funding to accelerate broadband deployment in rural areas of the country that have been without high-speed infrastructure. However, we cannot predict the actual benefits to us from the implementation of ARRA programs. For example, significant additional contracts resulting from investments for rural broadband deployment under the ARRA may not be awarded to us.

 

Risks Relating to the Staffing Industry

 

Our business is significantly affected by fluctuations in general economic conditions.

 

The demand for our staffing services is highly dependent upon the state of the economy and upon staffing needs of our customers. Any variation in the economic condition or unemployment levels of the United States or in the economic condition of any region or telecommunications industry in which we have a significant presence may severely reduce the demand for our services and thereby significantly decrease our revenues and profits.

 

Our business is subject to extensive government regulation and a failure to comply with regulations could materially harm our business.

 

Our business is subject to extensive regulation. The cost to comply, and any inability to comply, with government regulation could materially harm our business. Increased government regulation of the workplace or of the employer-employee relationship, or judicial or administrative proceedings related to such regulation, could materially harm our business.

 

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Laws”) include various health-related provisions to take effect through 2014, including requiring most individuals to have health insurance and establishing new regulations on health plans. Although the Health Care Reform Laws do not mandate that employers offer health insurance, beginning in 2014 penalties will be assessed on large employers who do not offer health insurance that meets certain affordability or benefit requirements. Unless modified by regulations or subsequent legislation, providing such additional health insurance benefits to our temporary workers, or the payment of penalties if such coverage is not provided, would increase our costs. If we are unable to raise the rates we charge our customers to cover these costs, such increases in costs could materially harm our business.

 

10
 

 

We may incur employment related and other claims that could materially harm our business.

 

We employ individuals on a temporary basis and place them in our customers' workplaces. We have minimal control over our customers' workplace environments. As the employer of record of our temporary workers we incur a risk of liability for various workplace events, including claims for personal injury, wage and hour requirements, discrimination or harassment, and other actions or inactions of our temporary workers. In addition, some or all of these claims may give rise to litigation including class action litigation. Although we currently believe resolving all of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, the litigation and other claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and our view of these matters may change in the future. A material adverse impact on our financial statements also could occur for the period in which the effect of an unfavorable final outcome becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

 

We cannot be certain that our insurance will be sufficient in amount or scope to cover all claims that may be asserted against us. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material effect on our business. We cannot be certain we will be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, that adequate replacement policies will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that the companies from which we have obtained insurance will be able to pay claims we make under such policies.

 

We are dependent on workers' compensation insurance coverage at commercially reasonable terms.

 

We provide workers' compensation insurance for our temporary workers. Our workers' compensation insurance policies are renewed annually. We cannot be certain we will be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future or that adequate replacement policies will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. The loss of our workers' compensation insurance coverage would prevent us from doing business in the majority of our markets. Further, we cannot be certain that our current and former insurance carriers will be able to pay claims we make under such policies. These additional sources of capital may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

We operate in a highly competitive business and may be unable to retain customers or market share.

 

The staffing services business is highly competitive and the barriers to entry are low. There are new competitors entering the market which may increase pricing pressures. In addition, long-term contracts form only a small portion of our revenue. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain customers or market share in the future. Nor can there be any assurance that we will, in light of competitive pressures, be able to remain profitable or, if profitable, maintain our current profit margins.

 

Our results of operations could materially deteriorate if we fail to attract, develop and retain qualified employees.

 

Our performance is dependent on attracting and retaining qualified employees who are able to meet the needs of our customers. We believe our competitive advantage is providing unique solutions for each individual customer, which requires us to have highly trained and engaged employees. Our success depends upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees, including management, sales, recruiting, service and administrative personnel. The turnover rate in the staffing industry is high, and qualified individuals of the requisite caliber and number needed to fill these positions may be in short supply. Our inability to recruit a sufficient number of qualified individuals may delay or affect the speed of our planned growth or strategy change. Delayed expansion, significant increases in employee turnover rates or significant increases in labor costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be unable to attract and retain sufficient qualified temporary workers.

 

We compete with other temporary staffing companies to meet our customer needs and we must continually attract qualified temporary workers to fill positions. We have in the past experienced worker shortages and we may experience such shortages in the future. Further, if there is a shortage of temporary workers, the cost to employ these individuals could increase. If we are unable to pass those costs through to our customers, it could materially and adversely affect our business.

 

Risks Relating to this Offering

 

One shareholder owns approximately 96.6% of our common stock providing the shareholder with the complete ability to direct the affairs of our company.

 

TBK 327 Partners LLC, which is owned by Christopher Ferguson and his wife, owns approximately 96.6% of our common stock. Under our Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law, the vote of a majority of the shares outstanding is generally required to approve most shareholder action.  As a result, TBK 327 Partners LLC will be able to direct the outcome of shareholder votes for the foreseeable future, including votes concerning the election of directors, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation or proposed mergers or other significant corporate transactions.

The Offering Price of the shares is arbitrary.

 

The Offering Price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us and bears no relationship to the Company’s assets, book value, potential earnings or any other recognized criteria of value.

 

The offering price of the shares was determined based upon the price sold in our offering and should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities. Therefore, the offering price bears no relationship to the actual value of the Company and may make our shares difficult to sell.

 

Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.08 for the shares of common stock was determined by the price shares were sold to our shareholders in a private placement memorandum and is a fixed price at which the selling security holders may sell their shares until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

 

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors' percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 25,847,500 shares are issued and outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. Further, the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into 13,750,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

 

The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may issue preferred shares which could carry superior rights and preferences and, in turn, limiting the influence common shareholders may have on the direction of our company.

 

We have authorized 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock of which 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock is currently outstanding.  Upon issuance of any additional preferred stock in the future, the rights attached to the preferred shares could affect our ability to operate, which could force us to seek other financing.  The Board of Directors may issue preferred stock without obtaining shareholder approval.  Such financing may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all and could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

 

Currently, there is no public market for our securities, and we cannot assure you that any public market will ever develop and it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations.

 

Currently, there is no public market for our stock and our stock may never be traded on any exchange, or, if traded, a public market may not materialize.  Even if we are successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable shareholders to sell their stock.

 

Our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few or no institutions acting as market makers for the common stock.  Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock.  Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly.  Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of the Company, and general economic and market conditions.  No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.

 

As our current estimated stock price is $0.08, our Common Stock will be subject to “penny stock” rules which may be detrimental to investors.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share.  Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them as our current estimated stock price is $0.08.  For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.  Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.  Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.

 

12
 

 

We have never paid a dividend on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future.

 

We have not paid a cash dividend on our common stock to date, and we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ability to successfully develop one or more properties and generate revenue from operations. Notwithstanding, we will likely elect to retain earnings, if any, to finance our growth. Future dividends may also be limited by bank loan agreements or other financing instruments that we may enter into in the future. The declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

 

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters .

 

Recent U. S. legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act, have resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and NASDAQ are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not required to do so. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation-related provisions in the   Dodd-Frank   Act that may increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.  If we do adopt various corporate governance measures, o ur management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives.

 

The potential sale of 437,500 shares pursuant to this prospectus may have a depressive effect on the price and market for our common stock.

 

The potential sale of 437,500 shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus may have a depressive effect on our stock price and make it more difficult for us to raise any significant funds in the equity market if our business requires additional funding.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this prospectus, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to the healthcare industry as a whole, changes in regulation on the state or federal level, delays in payments from third party payors, our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of their common stock.

 

Determination of Offering Price

 

The selling shareholders will sell the shares at $0.08 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The offering price was determined by the conversion price of our convertible promissory notes sold in a private offering under Rule 506 under Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. There is no assurance of when, if ever, our stock will be approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

 

The offering price of the shares of our common stock has been determined arbitrarily by us and does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial public offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

 

Dilution

 

The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders in this Offering is common stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders.

 

The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered.

(1) The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 25,847,500 shares of common stock outstanding and is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholders has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholders has the right to acquire within 60 days.

 

(2) Assumes that all securities registered will be sold.

 

Issuance of Shares of Common Stock to Selling Stockholders

 

On May 25, 2012, we sold 437,500 shares of common stock to 35 accredited investors for aggregate consideration of $35,000 or $0.08 per share. The issuance of the foregoing securities in this transaction described above was made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and/or Rule 506 under Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act. The respective transaction documents contain representations to support our reasonable belief that each investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act, and that such investor is acquiring such securities for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. At the time of their issuance, the securities described above were deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act and such securities bear legends to that effect.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions or by gift. These sales may be made at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling shareholders cannot predict the extent to which a market will develop or, if a market develops, what the price of our common stock will be. If a public market develops for the common stock, the selling shareholders may sell their shares of common stock in the public market based on the market price at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Subject to the foregoing, the selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling or otherwise transferring shares:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

block trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

sales to a broker-dealer as principal and the resale by the broker-dealer of the shares for its account;

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

privately negotiated transactions, including gifts;

 

covering short sales made after the date of this prospectus;

 

pursuant to an arrangement or agreement with a broker-dealer to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

any other method of sale permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling shareholders may also sell shares pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, if available, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. None of the other selling shareholders are affiliates of broker-dealers.

 

A selling shareholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if the selling shareholder defaults in the performance of the secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which may in turn engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may, after the date of this prospectus, also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge their common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. In the event of a transfer by a selling shareholder other than a transfer pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 of the SEC, we may be required to amend or supplement this prospectus in order to name the transferee as a selling shareholder.

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock.

 

Because the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Federal securities laws, including Regulation M, may restrict the timing of purchases and sales of our common stock by the selling shareholders and any other persons who are involved in the distribution of the shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus.

 

We may be required to amend or supplement this prospectus in the event that (a) a selling shareholder transfers securities under conditions which require the purchaser or transferee to be named in the prospectus as a selling shareholder, in which case we will be required to amend or supplement this prospectus to name the selling shareholder, or (b) any one or more selling shareholders sells stock to an underwriter, in which case we will be required to amend or supplement this prospectus to name the underwriter and the method of sale.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

Market for Securities

 

There is presently no public market for our common stock and there has never been a market for our common stock. We anticipate applying for quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we cannot assure you that our shares will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

 

A market maker sponsoring a company's securities is required to obtain a quotation of the securities on any of the public trading markets, including the OTC Bulletin Board. If we are unable to obtain a market maker for our securities, we will be unable to develop a trading market for our common stock. We may be unable to locate a market maker that will agree to sponsor our securities. Even if we do locate a market maker, there is no assurance that our securities will be able to meet the requirements for a quotation or that the securities will be accepted for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.

 

We intend to apply for quotation of the securities on the OTC Bulletin Board, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain this listing. The OTC Bulletin Board securities are not quoted and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

 

As of November 12, 2012, we had 25,847,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and approximately 37 stockholders of record of our common stock.

 

Dividend Policy

 

The payment by us of dividends, if any, in the future rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors.  We have not paid any dividends since our inception and we do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

As of November 12, 2012, we have not adopted an equity compensation plan under which our common stock is authorized for issuance.

Acquisition Strategy

 

With respect to its acquisition strategy, Focus intends to pursue a clearly defined telecommunications niche but may, in its discretion, pursue acquisitions outside of this niche. We selectively pursue acquisitions when we believe doing so is operationally and financially beneficial, although we do not rely solely on acquisitions for growth. In particular, we pursue those acquisitions that we believe will provide us with incremental revenue and geographic diversification while complementing our existing operations. We generally target companies for acquisition that have defensible leadership positions in their market niches, EBITDA positive which meets or exceeds industry averages, proven operating histories, sound management, and certain clearly identifiable cost synergies.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our revenues and results of operations can be subject to seasonal and other variations. These variations are influenced by weather, customer spending patterns, bidding seasons, project timing and schedules, and holidays.

 

Additionally, the telecommunication and staffing industries can be highly cyclical. As a result, our volume of business may be adversely affected by declines or delays in new projects in various geographic regions in the United States. Project schedules, particularly in connection with larger, longer-term projects, can also create fluctuations in the services provided, which may adversely affect us in a given period. The financial condition of our customers as well as their access to capital, variations in the margins of projects performed during any particular period, regional and national economic and market conditions, provided timing of acquisitions, the timing and magnitude of acquisition and integration costs associated with acquisitions and interest rate fluctuations are examples of items that may also materially affect quarterly results. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

 

Gross profit is derived from subtracting costs of service from revenue. Various factors impact our margins on a quarterly or annual basis. The timing and geographical characteristics of projects, as to when they begin and when they are completed can impact margins. The mix of business conducted in different areas of the country may impact margins as certain geographical areas offer higher profit margins due to physical characteristics of where the work is performed. The mix of revenues impacts margins, as revenue derived from underground work has a lower profit margin than revenue derived from aerial construction projects.

 

Our customer base is highly concentrated. For the year ended December 31, 2011, one customer represented approximately 73.7% of revenues or 72.2% of outstanding receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2010, five customers represented approximately 61.5% of revenues or 74.6% of the outstanding accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, three customers represented approximately 83.7% of revenues or 93.6% of the outstanding receivable balance. Our revenue may significantly decline if we were to lose one or more of our significant customers. In addition, revenues under our contracts with significant customers may vary from period-to-period depending on the timing and volume of work which those customers order or perform with their in-house service organizations. Additionally, consolidations, mergers and acquisitions in the telecommunications and staffing industries have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. The consolidation, merger or acquisition of an existing customer may result in a change in procurement strategies by the surviving entity. Reduced demand for our services or a change in procurement strategy of a significant customer could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

 

Concentration of credit risk for six months ended June 30, 2012, three customers represented revenues of approximately 83.7% or 93.6% of the outstanding receivable balance. Our revenue may significantly decline if we were to lose one or more of our significant customers. In addition, revenues under our contracts with significant customers may vary from period-to-period depending on the timing and volume of work which those customers order or perform with their in-house service organizations. Since we possess a significant amount of accounts receivable and if we are unable to collect account receivables in a timely manner or at all our cash flow and profitability will be negatively impacted.

 

We and our customers continue to operate in a challenging business environment, with increasing regulatory and environmental requirements, stringent permitting processes and only gradual recovery in the economy from recessionary levels. We are closely monitoring our customers and the effect that changes in economic and market conditions have had or may have on them. Please read "Risk Factors" for additional information which may affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenues .  Due to the short term nature of the Company’s construction contracts, revenue is recognized once 100% complete. A contract may have many segments, which once completed; the revenue for the segment is recognized and no further obligation exists. The company’s construction contracts or segments of contracts typically can range from several days to two to four months. Staffing revenue is recognized as the services are performed.   For the three months ended June 30, 2012, revenues increased $8.1 million, or 240.1%, to $11.5 million, primarily as a result of the number and size of projects, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. In September of 2011 the Company acquired Jus-Com Inc., which contributed revenues of $796,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Revenue derived from an increase in materials for segments or contracts represented 68.5% of the increase from the same period of the prior year.

 

Gross profit. Cost of services, which is subtracted from revenues to obtain gross profit, consists primarily of all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, certain employee job related lodging expenses, fuel, equipment rentals, equipment related expense, supplies, tools, subcontracted services and repairs. Gross profit increased $526,000 or 68.9% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of sales gross profit was 11.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as compared to 22.6% as a percentage of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The decrease is due to accounting for accrued costs in the current quarter, where revenue has been recognized and costs have not been billed. For the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the Company had accrued cost of sales of $3.6 million and $0, respectively.

 

Salary, Wages and Payroll Taxes is compensation for the administrative staff and management and medical insurance and payroll taxes for all personnel. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, salary, wages and payroll taxes increased $446,000 or 718.1%, to $508,000, from the three months ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of sales, salary, wages and payroll taxes was 4.4% and 1.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase is due to establishment of corporate infrastructure correlating with the Company’s growth.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense includes auto, computer, communications, marketing, bank charges, insurance, professional fees, meals, office expense, supplies, and bad debt expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, SG&A increased $348,000 or 198.9%, to $524,000, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. General expenses and professional fees increased overall, in support of the Company’s growth efforts.

 

Travel includes costs related to various methods of transportation, lodging, fuel, parking and tolls. Travel decreased $24,000 or 8.4%, to $266,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of sales, travel was 2.3% and 8.6%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. Due to the increasing volume of travel expenses relating to cost of services, the company has elected to categorize certain site related costs, as cost of services, which represented $242,000, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

22
 

 

 

Occupancy Costs are represented by property related expenses, such as rent, utilities, security and general repairs and maintenance. Occupancy costs increased $131,000 or 226.4%, to $188,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase is due to additional warehouse and office space relating to the acquisition of Jus-Com and to support its growth. As a percentage of sales, occupancy costs was 1.6% and 1.7%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

 

Depreciation and Amortization increased $82,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $87,000 as compared to $5,000 in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the depreciation of the $1.7 million in capital expenditures for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the $289,000 in capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, the Company amortized $11,000 for expense related to the acquisition of Jus-Com.

 

Operating income (loss) decreased $456,000 or 262.2%, to a loss of $282,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to net income of $174,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of sales, operating income (loss) was (2.5) % and 5.1%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. The growth of the Company’s Network segment and increases in expenses to support the establishment of infrastructure is directly attributable to the increase.

 

Interest Expense increased $262,000, or 5122.2%, to $267,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase is directly related to interest and fees associated with the Company’s factoring lines of credit. As a percentage of sales, interest expense was 2.3% and 0.2%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

 

Net Income decreased $691,000 or 486.6%, to a loss of $549,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. As a percentage of sales, net income was (4.8) % and 4.2%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. The growth of the Company’s network segment and fees associated with the factoring lines of credit contributed to the decrease in net income.

Cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by demand for our services, operating margins and the type of services we provide, but can also be influenced by working capital needs, in particular on larger projects, due to the timing of collection of receivables.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $39,000 net cash provided, during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The difference was attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.8 million, increase in accrued costs of 3.6 million, increase in deferred revenue of $2.8 million offset by the increase in accounts payable of $1.3 million, for the six months of 2012 as compared to the first six months of 2011. Since we possess a significant amount of accounts receivable and if we are unable to collect account receivables in a timely manner or at all our cash flow and profitability will be negatively impacted. The increase in revenue as a result of the Company’s growth efforts, contributed to the increase in net cash provided by operating activities.

 

We used net cash in operating activities of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to net cash provided of $194,000, for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase is comprised of $2.6 million in accounts receivable and $245,000 for security deposits, offset by an increase net income of $568,000.

 

Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we used net cash in investing activities of $361,000 as compared to $51,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is due to the purchase of machinery, equipment and vehicles used in its telecommunication network. 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we used $472,000 in net cash for investing activities, as compared to $0, for the year ended December 31, 2010. Investing activities in the year ended 2011, included $380,000 used for capital expenditures, partially offset by $22,000 of proceeds from the sale of customer lists and the acquisition of Jus-Com Inc. Additionally, investing activities included $114,000 used in a distribution to a former shareholder connected with the Jus-Com acquisition.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash used in financing activities was $65,000 as compared to net cash used of $178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Financing activities in the first six months of 2012 included net advances on the factoring credit facilities of $855,000 and $36,000 for issuance of stock for cash, offset by payments for capital leases for machinery and equipment of $199,000, payments of notes payable of $55,000 and payments on notes payable related party of 703,000. For the first quarter of 2011 net cash used in financing activities was related to member draws and payments of notes payable of $7,000.

 

Net Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1.9 million, compared to $56,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in net cash provided for financing activities is attributable to net advances on the factoring credit facilities of $2.3 million, advances from notes payable related party of $136,000 offset by payments on capital lease obligations of $148,000, payments of notes payable of $22,000 and draws by members of $292,000.

 

Debt Instruments

 

Factoring Lines of Credit

 

On July 7, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a factoring corporation, AGR Funding, Inc. (“AGR”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives up to 85% of the purchase price up front, at the discretion of AGR, to a maximum aggregate amount of $1,000,000. The term of the agreement is two years from the initial purchase date of July 26, 2011.

 

An initial fee is payable to AGR based on the dollar volume of weekly purchases as follows: (i) 1.40% - Up to $49,999 (ii) 1.20% - $50,000 to $99,999 (iii) 1.10% - $100,000 and above.

 

30
 

 

In addition, in the event that any receivable purchased by AGR is not paid within 30 days after the payment of the initial advance amount, the Company is required to pay AGR a daily percentage finance charge equal to the percentage, set forth below opposite the initial fee which applied to the receivable, subject to adjustment from time to time by AGR (i) Daily percentage - 0.0467%, Initial fee -1.40% (ii) Daily percentage - 0.0400%, Initial fee -1.20% (iii) Daily percentage - 0.0367%, Initial fee -1.10%.

 

Advances to the Company are with recourse and are secured by all assets of the Company and a priority interest in all purchased receivables.

 

The factoring line of credit has been treated as a secured financing arrangement. As of December 31, 2011 under the agreement with AGR, the Company had factored receivables in the amount of $350,000 and recorded a liability of $296,000 and a receivable for collected receivables due the Company of $15,000. Discounts and interest provided during factoring of the accounts receivable have been expensed on the accompanying combined statements of operations as interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a liability of $178,000, factored receivables of $183,000 and interest expense of $8,000, relating to the factoring arrangement. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense related to the factoring arrangement was $23,000 and $0, respectively.

 

On October 18, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a factoring corporation, Franklin Capital Holdings, LLC (“FCH”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives up to 80% of the purchase price up front, at the discretion of FCH, to a maximum aggregate amount of $2,000,000. The term of the agreement is two years and is renewable for 2 years, unless terminated by the Company. The Company must give FCH not less than 90 days written notice prior to the expiration of the initial period or renewal period. The notice becomes effective on the expiration of the initial period or renewal period which means the 90 day period shall not commence to run until the expiration date.

 

A discount fee of 1.5% is payable for the gross amount of accounts purchased in a 30 day period, plus 0.05% for each additional day, provided that the minimum invoice fee is $25. For the 3 months of the initial period or subsequent 3 month periods, as applicable, the minimum discount fee paid by the Company is the greater of (i) $30,000 (ii) 1.5% of the Company gross sales of invoices to FCH for the preceding 3 months or (iii) 1.5% of the Company average gross quarterly sales of invoices to FCH for the preceding 12 months.

 

In addition, an advance payment fee is charged to the Company for the number of days that advances are made prior to the payment date and for the number of days invoices are outstanding, calculated at a floating nominal rate equal to prime rate plus 1.5%, compounded monthly.

 

Advances to the Company are with recourse and shareholders have provided a personal guarantee.

 

The factoring line of credit has been treated as a secured financing arrangement. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a liability of $2,879,000, factored receivables of $5.1 million and interest expense of $60,000, relating to the factoring arrangement As of December 31, 2011 under the agreement with FCH, the Company had factored receivables in the amount of $2,850,000 and recorded a liability of $1,900,000. Discounts and interest provided during factoring of the accounts receivable have been expensed on the accompanying combined statements of operations as interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense related to the factoring arrangement was $36,000 and $0, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings. The Company is subject to risk of non-payment of its trade accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, three customers represented 83.7% of the revenues or 93.6% of the outstanding receivable. For the year ended December 31, 2011, one customer represented approximately 73.7% of revenues or 74.2% of outstanding receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2010, five customers represent approximately 61.5% of revenues or 74.6% of the outstanding accounts receivable. Management continually monitors its credit terms with customers to reduce credit risk exposure.

Should we be unable to collect our account receivables in a timely manner or at all our cash flow and profitability will be negatively impacted, which such risk is heightened during unstable economic periods. We extend credit to our customers as a result of performing work under contract prior to billing our customers for that work. These customers include telephone companies, cable television multiple system operators and others. We had accounts receivable of approximately $ 4.0 million at December 31, 2011 and $8.8 million at June 30, 2012, of which 93.6% was representative of three customers. We periodically assess the credit risk of our customers and continuously monitor the timeliness of payments. Slowdowns in the industries we serve may impair the financial condition of one or more of our customers and hinder their ability to pay us on a timely basis or at all. Further bankruptcies or financial difficulties within the telecommunications sector could hinder the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis or at all, reducing our cash flows and adversely impacting our liquidity and profitability. Additionally, we could incur losses in excess of current bad debt allowances.

 

Litigation and Claims

 

The Company is involved in litigation claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company assesses, in conjunction with its legal counsel, the need to record a liability for litigation and contingencies. The Company reserves for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the amount of future reserves required associated with these claims, if any, cannot be determined with certainty.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

In the normal course of business we enter into transactions from time to time with related parties. Some of the transactions take the form of equipment rental agreements and property lease agreements.

 

Certain payments have been made on behalf of related parties which are classified on the Company's balance sheet as current assets, Due from-related party.  Mr. Ferguson, the Company's CEO, President and sole member of the Board, is a managing member of TBK327 Partners LLC, ("TBK"), which had outstanding receivables for the three months, ended June 30, 2012 of $23,000 and $34,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Subsequently, the Company has received payment in full for its receivables on behalf of TBK.

 

Prior owner of a certain acquired company had a receivable of $10,000 outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and $1,900 outstanding as of the year ended December 31, 2011.  Due from-related party for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $33,000 and $35,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. Subsequently, the obligation has been applied as a reduction to the respective related party notes payable of $100,000.

 

On January 1, 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Jus-Com Inc. from TBK, of which Mr. Ferguson is a managing member, for approximately $126,000.  At the time of purchase, Jus-Com had an outstanding note payable to TBK, which was assumed as part of the agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, the balance was $136,000.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The JOBS Act provides that, so long as a company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:

 

1. Be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;

 

2. Be exempt from the “say on pay” and “say on golden parachute” advisory vote requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Customer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of its chief executive officer and be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

 

3. Instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation and be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotations or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements.

 

33
 

 

It should be noted that notwithstanding our status as an emerging growth company, we would be eligible for these exemptions as a result of our status as a “smaller reporting company” as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.  An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.  We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.  As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

  

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customer incentives, bad debts, inventories, investments, estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, valuation reserves and estimated cash flows in assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affects its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

 

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold Recognition – Revenue is only recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

a) Network - Due to the short term nature of the Company’s construction contracts, revenue is recognized once 100% complete. A contract may have many segments, of which, once completed; the revenue for the segment is recognized and no further obligation exists. The Network’s construction contracts or segments of contracts typically can range from several days to two to four months. The company’s construction contracts or segments of contracts typically can range from several days to two to four months. Contract costs may be billed as incurred. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company begins recognizing revenue on a project when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, recoverability is reasonably assured, and project costs are incurred. Costs may be incurred before the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement. In those cases, if recoverability from that arrangement is probable, the project costs are deferred and revenue recognition is delayed.

 

Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period such losses are known. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, changes in raw materials costs, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to revenue, costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

 

b) Staffing - Staffing revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

 

Business Acquisitions - The Company's combined financial statements include the operations of an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting for acquired businesses requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, and that the fair value of acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") be recorded on the balance sheet. Also, transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase price over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration, if any, is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. A liability resulting from contingent consideration is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

 

34
 

 

Income Taxes – The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence; it is more likely than not those assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.

 

The net income (loss) generated from Optos Capital Partners, LLC, Focus Fiber Solutions, LLC, CMK Resource Group, LLC, Townsend Careers, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc. is treated as partnership income for federal and state income tax purposes, accordingly, no provision for income tax is included in the combined financial statements for these entities. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period.

 

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

 

Pro-forma Financial Data . The net income (loss) generated from Optos Capital Partners, LLC, Focus Fiber Solutions, LLC, CMK Resource Group, LLC, Townsend Careers, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc. is treated as partnership income for federal and state income tax purposes and does not incur income tax expense. Instead, income and losses are allocated to and reported on the individual returns of the member’s tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income tax is included in the combined financial statements for these entities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

On January 1, 2012, Optos Capital Partners, LLC purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Jus-Com, Inc. In addition, on January 1, 2012, the Company purchased 50% of the members equity and non-controlling interest in CMK Resource Group, LLC. On May 15, 2012, Optos Capital Partners, LLC (“Optos”), the members of Optos (“Optos Members”) and Focus Venture Partners, Inc. (“FVP”), entered into a Contribution Agreement. FVP was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 26, 2012. In consideration of the Optos Members contribution of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Optos to FVP, FVP agreed to issue 23,980,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Optos Members. As a result of the Optos Members will own 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock of FVP.

Acquisition Strategy

 

With respect to its acquisition strategy, Focus intends to pursue a clearly defined telecommunications niche but may, in its discretion, pursue acquisitions outside of this niche. We selectively pursue acquisitions when we believe doing so is operationally and financially beneficial, although we do not rely solely on acquisitions for growth. In particular, we pursue those acquisitions that we believe will provide us with incremental revenue and geographic diversification while complementing our existing operations. We generally target companies for acquisition that have defensible leadership positions in their market niches, EBITDA positive which meets or exceeds industry averages, proven operating histories, sound management, and certain clearly identifiable cost synergies. Our expansion geographically and its limited area of personnel to support such expansion, caused an increase in travel costs in supervising the additional projects for the year ended December 31, 2011 although our travel expense has been reduced slightly when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Our History

 

Focus is incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 26, 2012. On May 9, 2012, Focus entered into a Contribution Agreement with Optos Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Optos”), whereby we acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Optos in consideration of 23,980,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Our subsidiaries leave two additional office/warehouse facilities, as well as two additional office locations throughout the United States. Our website is www.focusventurepartners.com, which is under development. Our subsidiaries each maintain separate websites including www.focusfiber.com, www.jus-com.com and www.townsendcareers.com. Jus-Com offices are located at 9250 Corporation Drive, Indianapolis, Indiana 46256. Townsend’s offices are located at 600 West Germantown Pike, Suite 400, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462.

 

Telecommunications Infrastructure Services Segment

 

The Telecommunications Infrastructure Services segment provides comprehensive network solutions to customers in the wireline and wireless telecommunications industry, as well as the cable television industry. Services performed by the Telecommunications Infrastructure Services segment generally include the design, installation, repair and maintenance of fiber optic, copper and coaxial cable networks used for video, data and voice transmission, as well as the design, installation and upgrade of wireless communications networks, including towers, switching systems and backhaul links from wireless systems to voice, data and video networks. This segment also provides emergency restoration services, including the repair of telecommunications infrastructure damaged by inclement weather. We also provide premise wiring where we install, repair, and maintain the telecom structure within improved structures.

 

We believe that certain provisions of the ARRA will continue to create additional demand for our services in this segment into 2013. Specifically, the ARRA includes federal stimulus funding for the deployment of broadband services to underserved areas that lack sufficient bandwidth to adequately support economic development. We also expect many customers who received stimulus funds to continue to expand their networks even though stimulus funding may no longer be available.

The combination of a growing North American wireless subscriber base, greater use of wireless data for consumer and enterprise applications and services, and the development of innovative consumer wireless data products has led to a significant increase in the amount of wireless data traffic on wireless networks. As a result, the traditional backhaul infrastructure that has historically linked wireless cell sites to broader voice, data and video networks is reaching capacity. To handle current and future wireless data traffic demands and to improve wireless network quality and reliability, wireless carriers are implementing plans to replace their legacy backhaul networks based on T-1 lines and circuit switching applications with fiber optic networks, typically referred to as “fiber to the cell site” initiatives. We believe these initiatives will continue several more years before the backhaul system upgrade is completed, resulting in additional opportunities to assist our wireless customers in their fiber to the cell site initiatives.

 

We anticipate increased long-term opportunities arising from plans by a number of wireless companies to deploy and implement 4G and LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology and networks throughout North America. These technologies are being deployed in the United States using a new spectrum, which effectively requires an entirely new network to be built. As a result, we expect significant capital expenditures will be made over a relatively long period of time as wireless carriers build out their 4G and LTE networks and then augment and optimize their networks for reliability and network quality. We believe wireless carriers are in the very early stages of their 4G and LTE network deployment plans.

 

Although fiber to the premises (FTTP) and fiber to the node (FTTN) deployment has slowed significantly since 2008, we expect fiber optic network build-outs will continue over the long-term as more Americans look to next-generation networks for faster internet and more robust video services. We believe more active network investment in FTTP and FTTN initiatives are more economically driven. Therefore, we believe greater confidence in a recovering domestic economy may be required before companies resume investment in FTTP and FTTN network deployment. We believe that we are well-positioned to furnish infrastructure solutions for these initiatives throughout the United States.

 

All contract OSP operations are fulfilled with a combination of the Company’s fleet of aerial trucks, underground plows, directional drills, fiber placement crews, and fiber splicers. All equipment used on OSP projects is mobile, with dedicated logistics to service these projects as demands change. Focus Fiber Solutions can meet any scheduling requirement and accommodate changing demands by calling on its extensive network of strategic partners. Finally, Focus Fiber itself has a broad base of experienced operators and installers dedicated to each project, and the company is committed to providing the necessary personnel and equipment to meet the demands of every engagement.

 

Through Jus-Com, we can deliver top-tier premise wiring solutions for its clients in all of the following product and service categories:

 

● Cable rack/wiring build-outs ● UPS installation ● All low-voltage cable installation
     
● Infrastructure build-outs ● PDU installation ● Provisioning, test, turn-off of FTT
     
● DC power installation ● Fiber cable splicing ● Security camera installation
     
● Battery installation/maintenance ● Structured cable installation ● AC circuits & conduit builds

 

Project Estimating and Feasibility Studies

 

Our subsidiaries share an Estimating Department that provides all cost needs, both internal and external, as a value-added service to telecom clients. For extremely difficult builds, we uses a “boots on the ground” approach, ready with someone to look at the project up close, typically within 24 hours. For the bid process, the following steps are followed:

 

·The RFP or RFI is received from a prospective customer; typically a data file is provided with a general route, cell tower locations, laterals, rings, etc.
·Using Google Earth, the Company provides a solution based on aerial and underground construction options, utilizing the U.S. geological studies for ground conditions and “street view” programs to analyze the conditions. Additional services are often used, including: MS Streets & Trips, MapInfo, Bing Maps, Delorme, and a national database of GIS maps. At the same time, the Company reaches out to vendors and suppliers to start assessing rough costs for materials and labor.
·The Company specializes in complex projects with a large geographical footprint and multiple customer drop points. This goal is met by importing the customer drop points (i.e., latitude and longitude) into whichever software program the customer has specified as the deliverable. Then, using the aforementioned methods, the Company identifies the best installation path and verifies whether the most cost-effective method of installation will be aerial, underground, or existing conduit paths.

 

37
 

 

 

This conclusion is portrayed on the deliverable software, and the different methods of construction are clearly defined by specific colors on the reports.
The project is broken into segments with independent budgets for each segment, allowing the customer to identify the fiber size based upon end-use requirements. This all flows into a master project budget, giving the customer a snapshot that will allow them to make changes to the individual segments at their discretion based upon the budgetary information provided.
Additionally, the nationwide network of project managers is utilized to analyze the geography of each part of the project and provide feedback on critical portions of the proposed build.
This all culminates into finished proposals – ones that the Company believes accurately represent the ideal and most cost-effective approach to the build process.
Due to the process that the Company has solidified in the estimating department, bringing in and training additional support staff typically takes less than 2 weeks.

 

Competition

 

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We compete with other contractors in most of the geographic markets in which we operate, and several of our competitors are large companies that have significant financial, technical and marketing resources. In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry into some of the industries in which we operate and, as a result, any organization that has adequate financial resources and access to technical expertise may become a competitor. A significant portion of our revenues is currently derived from unit price or fixed price agreements, and price is often an important factor in the award of such agreements. Accordingly, we could be underbid by our competitors in an effort by them to procure such business. Economic conditions have increased the impacts of competitive pricing in certain of the markets that we serve. We believe that customers consider other factors in choosing a service provider, including technical expertise and experience, financial and operational resources, nationwide presence, industry reputation and dependability, which we expect to benefit larger contractors such as us. In addition, competition may lessen as industry resources, such as labor supplies, approach capacity. There can be no assurance, however, that our competitors will not develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services that are superior in both price and quality to our services, or that we will be able to maintain or enhance our competitive position. We also face competition from the in-house service organizations of our existing or prospective customers, including telecommunications and engineering companies, which employ personnel who perform some of the same types of services as those provided by us. Although a significant portion of these services is currently outsourced by many of our customers, there can be no assurance that our existing or prospective customers will continue to outsource services in the future.

 

Customer Relationships

 

Our current customers include leading telephone companies such as Zayo Group, Sidera Networks, and CBeyond. We also provide telecommunications engineering, construction, installation and maintenance services to a number of cable television multiple system operators, including AT&T and Windstream. Premise wiring services are provided to various corporations and state and local governments. 

 

Our customer base is highly concentrated. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we had one customer representing approximately 73.7% of revenues or 72.2% of outstanding receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2010, five customers represented approximately 61.5% of revenues or 74.6% of the outstanding accounts receivable. We believe that a substantial portion of our total revenues and operating income will continue to be derived from a concentrated group of customers. 

 

Regulation

 

Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local and international laws and regulations including:

 

• licensing, permitting and inspection requirements applicable to contractors, electricians and engineers;

 

• regulations relating to worker safety and environmental protection;

 

• permitting and inspection requirements applicable to construction projects;

 

• wage and hour regulations;

 

• regulations relating to transportation of equipment and materials, including licensing and permitting requirements; and

 

• building and electrical codes.

 

We believe that we have all the licenses required to conduct our operations and that we are in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Our failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating licenses, as well as give rise to termination or cancellation rights under our contracts or disqualify us from future bidding opportunities.

 Safety and Risk Management

 

We are committed to ensuring that our employees perform their work safely and we regularly communicate with our employees to reinforce that commitment and instill safe work habits. We review accidents and claims for our operations, examine trends and implement changes in procedures to address safety issues. Claims arising in our business generally include workers’ compensation claims, various general liability and damage claims, and claims related to vehicle accidents, including personal injury and property damage. We insure against the risk of loss arising from our operations up to certain deductible limits in substantially all of the states in which we operate. In addition, we retain risk of loss, up to certain limits, under our employee group health plan.

 

We carefully monitor claims and actively participate with our insurers in determining claims estimates and adjustments. The estimated costs of claims are accrued as liabilities, including estimates for claims incurred but not reported. Due to fluctuations in our loss experience from year to year, insurance accruals have varied and can affect the consistency of operating margins. If we experience insurance claims in excess of our umbrella coverage limit, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Seasonality

 

Our revenues are affected by seasonality as a significant portion of the work we perform is outdoors. Consequently, our operations are impacted by extended periods of inclement weather. Generally, inclement weather is more likely to occur during the winter season which falls during our first and fourth fiscal quarters. Also, a disproportionate percentage of total paid holidays fall within our second quarter, which decreases the number of available workdays. Additionally, our customer premise equipment installation activities for cable providers historically decrease around calendar year end holidays as their customers generally require less activity during this period. As a result, we may experience reduced revenue in the second or third quarters of our fiscal years.

 

Environmental Matters

 

A significant portion of our work is performed underground. As a result, we are potentially subject to material liabilities related to encountering underground objects which may cause the release of hazardous materials or substances. Additionally, the environmental laws and regulations which relate to our business include those regarding the removal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste. These laws and regulations can impose significant fines and criminal sanctions for violations. Costs associated with the discharge of hazardous materials or substances may include clean-up costs and related damages or liabilities. These costs could be significant and could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

Staffing Industry

 

The temporary staffing industry evolved out of the need for a flexible workforce to minimize the cost and effort of hiring and administering permanent employees in order to rapidly respond to changes in business conditions and to temporarily replace absent employees. Competitive pressures have forced businesses to focus on reducing costs, including converting fixed or permanent labor costs to variable or flexible costs. The temporary staffing industry includes a number of markets focusing on business needs that vary widely in duration of assignment and level of technical specialization. We operate within the telecom staffing market of the temporary staffing industry.

 

Temporary staffing companies act as intermediaries in matching available temporary workers to employer assignments. Staffing companies compete both to recruit and retain a supply of temporary workers and to attract and retain customers to employ these workers. An important aspect in the selection of temporary workers for an assignment is the ability to identify the skills, knowledge, abilities of a temporary worker and match their competencies or capabilities to an employer’s requirements. Methods used to sell temporary staffing services to customers vary depending on the customer’s need for temporary staffing services, the local labor supply, the length of assignment, the number of workers and skills required. We are a business-to-business sales provider. Our sales process takes place at the customer’s location. Success is often based on the experience and skill of the sales person and the strength of relationship with the customer. Retention of customers, exclusive of economic conditions, is dependent on the strength of our relationship with the customer, the skill, quality and tenure of temporary workers, and customer service skills.

 

The temporary staffing industry is large and highly fragmented with many competing companies. No single company has a dominant share of the temporary staffing industry. Customer demand for temporary staffing services is dependent on the overall strength of the labor market and trends toward greater workforce flexibility.

 

The staffing industry is cyclical based on overall economic conditions. Historically, in periods of economic growth, the number of companies providing temporary staffing services has increased due to low barriers to entry and during recessionary periods the number of companies has decreased through consolidation, bankruptcies, or other events. The temporary staffing industry experienced increased volatility during the most recent recession in comparison with past economic cycles. This is largely due to the severity of the recession which resulted in a dramatic drop in the use of temporary staffing as companies aggressively reduced the size of their workforce. However, in the post-recessionary environment, the temporary staffing industry is experiencing increased demand in relation to total job growth as customers have placed a greater priority on maintaining a more flexible workforce.

 

Customers

 

Our customer mix consists primarily of small and medium-sized businesses. We also serve larger national customers. Our full range of temporary staffing services enables us to meet all of the staffing needs of our customers.

 

Competition

 

We compete in the temporary staffing industry by offering a full range of staffing services. The temporary staffing industry is large and fragmented, comprised of thousands of companies employing millions of people and generating billions of dollars in annual revenues.

 

We experience competition in attracting customers as well as qualified employment candidates. The staffing business is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry, with a number of firms offering services similar to those provided by us on a national, regional, or local basis. We compete with several multi-national full-service and specialized temporary staffing companies, as well as a multitude of local companies. In most geographic areas, no single company has a dominant share of the market. The majority of temporary staffing companies serving the staffing market are locally-owned businesses. In many areas the local companies are the strongest competitors, largely due to their longevity in the market and the strength of their customer relationships.

 

Competitive forces have historically limited our ability to raise our prices to immediately and fully offset increased costs of doing business; some of which include increased temporary worker wages, costs for workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance.

 

 

40
 

 

The most significant competitive factors in the staffing business are price, ability to promptly fill customer orders, success in meeting customers’ quality expectations of temporary workers, and appropriately addressing customer service issues. We believe we derive a competitive advantage from our service history and commitment to the temporary employment market and our specialized approach in serving the industries of our customers. Also, our national presence and proprietary systems and programs including worker safety, risk management, and legal and regulatory compliance are key differentiators from many of our competitors.

 

Employees

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company, together with its subsidiaries, employs 144 persons, consisting of 12 administrative employees and one part-time employee.  None of our employees are represented by local collective bargaining units. The number of our employees varies according to the level of our work in progress. We maintain a nucleus of technical and managerial personnel to supervise all projects and add employees as needed to complete specific projects.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not a party to any legal or administrative proceedings and are not aware of any pending or threatened legal or administrative proceedings against us in all material aspects. We may from time to time become a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Common Stock

 

The Company is presently authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, of which 25,847,500 shares of common stock are presently issued and outstanding. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends equally when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor.

 

The holders of the Company’s common stock have sole voting rights, one vote for each share held of record, and are entitled upon liquidation of the Company to share ratably in the net assets of the Company available for distribution after payment of all obligations of the Company and after provision has been made with respect to each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock, currently including the Company’s preferred stock. Shares of the Company's common stock do not have cumulative voting rights and vote as a class on all matters requiring stockholder approval. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock may elect all of the directors of the Company, control its affairs and day-to-day operations. The shares of common stock are not redeemable and have no preemptive or similar rights. All outstanding shares of the Company's common stock are validly issued, fully paid for and non-assessable.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to provide for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, subject to any limitations prescribed by the laws of the State of Nevada, but without further shareholder action. Our Board of Directors may establish the number of shares to be included in each such series, fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, and increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Our Board of Directors may authorize and issue preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, for example in connection with a shareholder right's plan, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding stock.

 

Our Board of Directors have authorized and issued 100,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $11 per share and is convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share representing 13,750,000 shares of common stock.  Furthermore, the Series A Preferred Stock votes on an as-converted basis.  The Series A Preferred Stock does not carry preferential liquidation rights.  The Company, in its sole discretion my redeem the Series A Preferred Stock by paying the holder 110% of the Stated Value.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERD PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FRIM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Optos Capital Partners, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Optos Capital Partners, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended. Optos Capital Partners, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Optos Capital Partners, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The 2010 and 2011 combined financial statements include the accounts of Optos and Jus-Com from the date of acquisition at September 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. The Company is under common ownership and common management. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation and combination.

 

Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of the equity of CMK. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for the non-controlling interest holder’s proportionate share of income or loss and member’s contribution and draws. Share of income is allocated between the members CMK in accordance with their proportionate interest of capital contributions. Non-controlling interests are shown as a component of equity in the accompanying combined balance sheets.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of those investments approximates fair value.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (Continued)

 

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold Recognition – Revenue is only recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

a) Network - Due to the short term nature of the Company’s construction contracts, revenue is recognized once 100% complete. A contract may have many segments, of which, once completed; the revenue for the segment is recognized and no further obligation exists. The Network’s construction contracts or segments of contracts typically can range from several days to two to four months. Contract costs may be billed as incurred. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company begins recognizing revenue on a project when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, recoverability is reasonably assured, and project costs are incurred. Costs may be incurred before the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement. In those cases, if recoverability from that arrangement is probable, the project costs are deferred and revenue recognition is delayed.

 

Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period such losses are known. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, changes in raw materials costs, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to revenue, costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

 

b)Staffing - Staffing revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

 

Business Acquisitions - The Company's combined financial statements include the operations of an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting for acquired businesses requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, and that the fair value of acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") be recorded on the balance sheet. Also, transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase price over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration, if any, is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. A liability resulting from contingent consideration is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts as a best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its accounts receivable. Each month, the Company reviews this allowance and considers factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms when determining whether the collection of a receivable is reasonably assured. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Receivables are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when it becomes probable that a receivable will not be recovered. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $90,515 and $5,674, respectively.

 

Inventory - Inventory comprises of materials purchased for Jus-Com and are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market. Other entities included in the combined financial statements charge the cost of materials to cost of

sales as incurred. The company estimates its work in progress to be a three month period in which the inventory is reduced and charged to cost of sales. On this basis, management has recorded a balance of inventory held at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, to be $15,515 and $0, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which do not exceed the lease term for leasehold improvements, as follows:

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (Continued)

 

Property and Equipment (Continued)

 

    Estimated Life   Method
Machinery & equipment   6-8 years   Straight - line
Leasehold improvements     6-10 years   Straight - line
Vehicles & trailers    7-10 years   Straight - line
Computer equipment & software   2-5 years   Straight - line

 

The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition, or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.

 

Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the asset nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are included in the statements of operations.

 

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets comprise AT&T Tier Vendor Status acquired on September 1, 2011. The Company amortizes AT&T Tier Vendor Status on a straight-line basis over a 16 month estimated useful life.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets - The Company evaluates its property and equipment intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment in accordance with related accounting standards. For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company first groups its assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. The Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs. There were no impairments during the periods presented.

 

Income Taxes – The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.

 

The net income (loss) generated from Optos Capital Partners, LLC, Focus Fiber Solutions, LLC, CMK Resource Group, LLC, Townsend Careers, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc. is treated as partnership income for federal and state income tax purposes, accordingly, no provision for income tax is included in the combined financial statements for these entities. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (Continued)

 

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes

 

provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

 

Leases - Leases are classified as capital or operating leases.  A lease that transfers substantially all benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is classified as a capital lease.  At the inception of a capital lease, an asset and an obligation are recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease payments and the property’s fair value at the beginning of the lease.  All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented.

 

The earnings (loss) per share presented in these combined financial statements are those of Jus-Com only. The earnings (loss) per share of Optos is not included in these combined financial statements since Optos is a limited liability company which does not issue membership units. The earnings (loss) per share presented is not a true representation of the combined entities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company bases its fair value determinations of the carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities on an evaluation of their particular facts and circumstances and valuation techniques that require judgments and estimates. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation technique. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, none of our assets or liabilities was subject to fair value measurements.

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the combined balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations payable, factor lines of credit and promissory notes approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings. The Company is subject to risk of non-payment of its trade accounts receivable. Our customer base is highly concentrated. For the year ended December 31, 2011, one customer represented approximately 73.7% of revenues or 72.2% of outstanding receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2010, five customers represented approximately 61.5% of revenues or 74.6% of the outstanding accounts receivable. Our revenue may significantly decline if we were to lose one or more of our significant customers. In addition, revenues under our contracts with significant customers may vary from period-to-period depending on the timing and volume of work which those customers order or perform with their inhouse service organizations. Additionally, consolidations, mergers and acquisitions in the telecommunications and staffing industries have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. The consolidation, merger or acquisition of an existing customer may result in a change in procurement strategies by the surviving entity. Reduced demand for our services or a change in procurement strategy of a significant customer could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

14.INCOME TAXES

 

The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.

 

FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded.

 

The net income (loss) generated from Optos Capital Partners, LLC, Focus Fiber Solutions, LLC, CMK Resource Group, LLC, Townsend Careers, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc. is treated as partnership income for federal and state income tax purposes and does not incur income tax expense. Instead, income and losses are allocated to and reported on the individual returns of the member’s tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income tax is included in the combined financial statements for these entities.

 

For the period ended December 31,  2011   2010 
Net income (loss) for the year  $616,741   $(355,141)
Adjustments:          
Net income (loss) allocated to member’s tax returns   (616,741)   355,141 
Tax income (loss) for the year   -    - 
Estimated effective tax rate   35%   35%
Deferred tax asset  $-   $- 

 

The net difference between tax bases and the reported amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities is not significant.

 

Pro-forma Financial Data . The net income (loss) generated from Optos Capital Partners, LLC, Focus Fiber Solutions, LLC, CMK Resource Group, LLC, Townsend Careers, LLC and Jus-Com, Inc. is treated as partnership income for federal and state income tax purposes and does not incur income tax expense. Instead, income and losses are allocated to and reported on the individual returns of the member’s tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income tax is included in the combined financial statements for these entities for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Members of

Focus Venture Partners, Inc.

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Focus Venture Partners, Inc as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three month and six month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY

 

Description of Business – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Focus Venture Partners, Inc. (the “Company” or “FVP”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Optos Capital Partners, LLC (“Optos’), Focus Fiber Solutions LLC (“Focus”), CMK Resource Group LLC (“CMK”), Townsend Careers LLC (“Townsend”) and Jus-Com Inc. (“Jus-Com”). Prior to January 1, 2012, the Company presented the financial statements on a combined basis due to common management and ownership. Also, these entities were expected to be the subject of a business combination, which occurred on January 1, 2012 with the acquisition of Jus-Com Inc. and the purchase of the remaining 50% interest in CMK Resource Group, (see Note 12).

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 26, 2012. On May 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement whereby FVP issued 92.8% of its total outstanding common stock and 100% of its total outstanding preferred stock in exchange for 100% of the members’ interest in Optos. As a result of the Contribution Agreement, Optos became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Optos is a limited liability company, which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 15, 2008. Optos is the sole member of Focus Fiber, a limited liability company, incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 15, 2010. On January 1, 2012, Optos acquired the remaining 50% interest in CMK, a limited liability company, incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 1, 2008. CMK is the sole member of Townsend, a limited liability company, incorporated in the State of Maryland on May 22, 2007. Prior to the Contribution Agreement transaction, FVP and Optos were under common control thus, the Contribution Agreement transaction has been accounted for as a Recapitalization of Optos into FVP and as such the operational history of Optos will carry forward. Accordingly, the December 31, 2011 consolidated financial statements have been re-classified to conform with the recapitalization of Optos.

 

Jus-Com, Inc. (“Jus-Com”) was incorporated in the State of Indiana on January 3, 1989. Jus-Com was acquired by the common management and ownership on September 1, 2011. On January 1, 2012, Optos acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Jus-Com. in a stock purchase agreement.

 

The Company primarily operates in the telecommunications space but will pursue other industries as presented. The Company pursues acquisitions in which it can acquire a 100% ownership interest of stable, well positioned telecom companies. Currently, Optos operates Focus Fiber, Jus-Com and CMK. Focus Fiber specializes in the design, engineering, installation, and maintenance of a telecommunications infrastructure network. CMK and Townsend operate as a temporary and permanent staffing agency specializing in the telecommunications market. Jus-Com is a telecommunication service provider providing various services including engineering consulting, design, installation and emergency response in various categories including cable rack/wiring build-outs, infrastructure build-outs, DC power installation, fiber cable splicing and security camera installation.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying value of those investments approximates fair value.

 

Inventory - Inventory is comprised of materials purchased for Jus-Com and are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market. Other entities included in the consolidated financial statements charge the cost of materials to cost of sales as incurred. The company estimates its work in progress to be a three month period in which the

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES – (Continued)

 

inventory is reduced and charged to cost of sales. On this basis, management has recorded a balance in other current assets for inventory held at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, to be $33,476 and $15,515, respectively.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share  – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company bases its fair value determinations of the carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities on an evaluation of their particular facts and circumstances and valuation techniques that require judgments and estimates. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation technique. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, none of our assets or liabilities was subject to fair value measurements.

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations payable, factor lines of credit and promissory notes approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.

 

Re-classification- On May 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement whereby FVP issued 92.8% of its total outstanding common stock and 100% of its total outstanding preferred stock in exchange for 100% of the members’ interest in Optos. Prior to the Contribution Agreement transaction, FVP and Optos were under common control thus, the Contribution Agreement transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Optos into FVP and as such the operation history of Optos will carry forward. Accordingly, the December 31, 2011, consolidated financial statements have been re-classified to conform with the recapitalization of Optos.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings. The Company is subject to risk of non-payment of its trade accounts receivable. Our customer base is highly concentrated. For the year ended December 31, 2011, one customer represented approximately 73.7% of revenues or 72.2% of outstanding receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2010, five customers represented approximately 61.5% of revenues or 74.6% of the outstanding accounts receivable. Our revenue may significantly decline if we were to lose one or more of our significant customers. In addition, revenues under our contracts with significant customers may vary from period-to-period depending on the timing and volume of work which those customers order or perform with their inhouse service organizations. Additionally, consolidations, mergers and acquisitions in the telecommunications and staffing industries have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. The consolidation, merger or acquisition of an existing customer may result in a change in procurement strategies by the surviving entity. Reduced demand for our services or a change in procurement strategy of a significant customer could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that impacted the six months ended June 30, 2012, fiscal 2011 or which are expected to impact future periods, which were not adopted and disclosed in prior periods.

Accrued interest payable   19,239   3,021
  $ 2,676,914 $ 1,421,300

 

6. ACCRUED CONTRACT COSTS

 

Due to the short term nature of the Company’s construction contracts, revenue is recognized once 100% complete. A contract may have many segments, of which, once completed; the revenue for the segment is recognized and no further obligation exists. The Network’s construction contracts or segments of contracts typically can range from several days to two to four months. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company accrued costs of $3,581,988, representing the contracts or contract segments where revenue has been recognized but costs have yet to be billed.

 

7. DEFERRED REVENUE

 

The Company begins recognizing revenue on a project when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, recoverability is reasonably assured, and project costs are incurred. Costs may be incurred before the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement. In those cases, if recoverability from that arrangement is probable, the project costs are deferred and revenue recognition is delayed. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had deferred revenue of $2,800,000.

 

8. FACTORING LINES OF CREDIT

 

AGR Funding Inc.

On July 7, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a factoring corporation, AGR Funding, Inc. (“AGR”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives up to 85% of the purchase price up front, at the discretion of AGR, to a maximum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.

In addition, in the event that any receivable purchased by AGR is not paid within 30 days after the payment of the initial advance amount, the Company is required to pay AGR a daily percentage finance charge equal to the percentage, set forth below opposite the initial fee which applied to the receivable, subject to adjustment from time to time by AGR (i) Daily percentage - 0.0467%, Initial fee -1.40% (ii) Daily percentage - 0.0400%, Initial fee -1.20% (iii) Daily percentage - 0.0367%, Initial fee -1.10%.

The entire outstanding principal amount of this note, together with all interest accrued and thereto not paid and any other payments due and payable under the agreement shall be due in full in three years and bears interest of 12% per annum. The note is secured by a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement granting the seller a security interest in the stock. The transaction represents a transfer of net assets between companies under common control and the assets and liabilities will be accounted for at historic cost.

 

On September 1, 2011, TBK 327 Partners, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company which is under the same common management and common ownership as Optos Capital Partners, LLC, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Jus-Com, Inc. for a total purchase price of $126,000. The acquisition of Jus-Com provides the Company with an AT&T Tier Vender Status (Tier 1 Approved Supplier) and four motor vehicles.

 

The results of operations and cash flows of the acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Net sales attributed to Jus-Com in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $796,481 and $1,415,019, respectively. Net sales attributable to the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.

 

Unit Transfer Agreement – On January 1, 2012, the Optos purchased 50% of the members’ equity and the non-controlling interest in CMK Resource Group, LLC (“CMK’).

The Promissory Note is due in three years in monthly installments in advance of $3,013 and bears interest of 6% per annum.

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.  The Company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any individual entitled to indemnity.  Our bylaws also provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person entitled to indemnity upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to indemnification.

 

Our bylaws further provide that discretionary indemnification may be authorized (a) by the shareholders; (b) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (c) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion (i) if ordered by a majority vote of disinterested directors or (ii) if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

 

II-2
 

 

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement, and

(iii) Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for determining liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
