Note 1 – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

 

Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.

 

Through the Company’s subsidiary, Wireless Wisconsin, LLC, the Company provides high speed wireless Internet connections to residents in rural communities, as well as some dial-up internet services to businesses and residents within various markets throughout rural Wisconsin. The Company operates in both a regulated and non-regulated environment.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company began its program of selling FCC registered links (“Registered Links”) and related telecommunication equipment.

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred continuous losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit of $14,357,346 and a working capital deficit of $3,843,548 at September 30, 2014, and has reported negative cash flows from operations in most periods over the last five years. In addition, the Company does not currently have the cash resources to meet its operating commitments for the next twelve months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive nature of the industry in which the Company operates.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet its cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that cash generated by operations will be adequate to meet the Company’s needs. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Less accumulated depreciation			(82,966	)			(17,211	)

The Company recorded interest expense on notes payable in the amount of $3,762 and $4,020 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company intends to pay the outstanding principal and accrued interest when liquidity allows.

 

Note 4 – Convertible Debentures

The notes bear interest at rates of 8% to 12.5% per annum. The notes mature at various times through June 2015. At September 30, 2014, convertible debentures totaling $732,626 were outstanding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Various statements have been made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements may also be made in Competitive Companies, Inc.’s other reports filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other documents. In addition, from time to time, Competitive Companies, Inc. (“CCI,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) through its management may make oral forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “optimistic,” “intend,” “plan,” “aim,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements.   The most important facts that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

(a)

volatility or decline of the Company's stock price;

(b)

potential fluctuation in quarterly results;

(c)

failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits;

(d)

inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans;

(e)

failure to further commercialize its technology or to make sales;

(f)

loss of customers and reduction in demand for the Company's products and services;

(g)

rapid and significant changes in markets;

(h)

litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties, reducing revenue and increasing costs;

(i)

insufficient revenues to cover operating costs;

(j)

failure of our Registered Link Program to produce sales, revenues, or profits;

(k)

aspects of our business are not proprietary and in general we are subject to inherent competition;

(l)

further dilution of existing shareholders’ ownership in us;

(m)

uncollectible accounts and the need to incur expenses to collect amounts owed to the Company; and

(n)

the Company does not have an Audit Committee nor any independent directors.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable, the Company may not be able to successfully develop, manage, or market its products and services, the Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology personnel, the Company may not be able to obtain customers for its products or services or successfully compete, the Company’s products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder the Company’s business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants, and stock options and the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, or other risks inherent in the Company’s businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

 

 

Business

 

Competitive Companies, Inc. was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada in October 2001 and acts as a holding company for its operating subsidiaries, Wytec International, Inc. (“Wytec”), Wylink, Inc. (“Wylink”), Wireless Wisconsin LLC, Innovation Capital Management, Inc. (“ICM”), Innovation Capital Management LLC (“ICMLLC”), and Capaciti Networks, Inc. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Company and its Subsidiaries (sometimes collectively referred to as “CCI”) are involved in providing next generation fixed and mobile wireless broadband Internet services nationally and internationally to wholesale, retail and enterprise customers. Due to recent developments in our intellectual property and the continued development of our municipal and governmental relationships along with the addition of key personnel, we believe we will be able to obtain our market entry schedule of 30 markets by 2015. Included in our 30 market entry schedule are optimization strategies for assisting municipalities in leveraging current assets for maximum utilization related to the provision of telecommunications services.

We plan to accomplish these objectives by applying the extended development of our current intellectual property along with utilizing proprietary next generation technology to build our platform networks. We believe the benefits of the platform network is its ability to support multiple mobile communications services including but not limited to public safety, first responder, machine to machine and carrier offload services.

 

CCI is currently in high-level discussions with more than ten U.S. city governments including Columbus, Ohio where we have been developing a 4G Wi-Fi network throughout the central business district of Columbus. CCI’s network infrastructure is capable of delivering bandwidth services up to 1.5 gigabits per second to a wide range of customers including midsize and large corporate operations located in Tier One, Tier Two and Tier Three (the term “Tier” defines the population size of the link location) cities throughout the United States as well as data transport services to carriers, municipalities and commercial enterprise. CCI deploys millimeter wave technology in its backhaul design for supporting its platform networks for its high capacity data throughput objectives.

Test results have produced record performance speeds in excess of 170 Mbps to a smart phone and over 200 Mbps to a laptop computer resulting in the drafting of CCI’s first contractual agreement with the City of Columbus, for services rendered. The agreement, when substantially completed, provides a footprint covering a significant portion of the Central Business District (“CBD”) of Columbus, Ohio providing, among other services, direct connections to public safety devices, high capacity Wi-Fi access to commercial enterprises and the extension of the Company’s Small Cell deployment designed for carrier offload and other enterprise services.

 

Through the Company’s subsidiary, Wireless Wisconsin, LLC, we provide high speed wireless Internet connections to residents in rural communities, as well as webhosting, dial-up, and other commercial services throughout rural Wisconsin. We operate in both a regulated and non-regulated environment. Our current business plan includes the delivery of 4G mobile broadband services via Wi-Fi in urban, suburban, and rural markets throughout the United States.

 

Overview of Current Operations

 

We continue to shift our focus away from our past revenue sources, such as web hosting, dial-up, wireless, DSL, and wired internet services and move toward the design, development, and implementation of 4G mobile Wi-Fi networks with an accelerated concentration on the development of our Small Cell deployment objectives for 2015 utilizing our patent pending LPN-16 technology. We believe recent national and international demand for greater data capacity within mobile networks will increase the need for a greater deployment of small cell (“Small Cell”) technology. Our LPN-16 Small Cell solution is ideal for fulfilling this increasing demand.

 

Wytec owns an interest in five U.S. patents related to local multipoint distribution service (“LMDS”) or millimeter wave technology. LMDS deals primarily in the transmission of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data distribution utilizing millimeter wave spectrum. Though the patents are currently unusable in our current 4G backhaul configuration, we intend to advance a derivative of the technology for usage in future 4G millimeter backhaul deployments. Millimeter wave links are now utilized as the predominate choice in backhaul data transmission in support of 4G network deployments.

 

 

On September 7, 2012, Wytec entered into a definitive agreement with General Patent Corporation (“GPC”) to form Wytec LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for the purpose of transferring ownership of our five patents originally owned by Wytec International, Inc. into Wytec LLC. GPC acts as the general manager of the LLC and will assist in the monetization of the five patents.

 

Wytec’s current product development of the LPN-16 is designed to meet the stringent bandwidth needs of both government “first responder” services as well as “carrier offload” services. Management believes the LPN-16 transmitter is the first of its kind specifically developed to participate in the Small Cells as a Service (“SCaaS”) market which has been forecasted by SNS Research to reach $15 billion globally by 2020. In addition to the SCaaS market, management believes the LPN-16 transmitter will support the needs of the massive growth of the machine to machine (“M2M”) market forecasted by SNS Research to account for nearly $196 Billion in global revenues by the end of 2020.

 

Wytec’s LPN-16 transmitter is proprietary intellectual property of Wytec for which management has applied for U.S. patent protection rights in the second quarter of 2014 and is a significant part of Wytec’s intellectual property portfolio. We intend to file international patent applications for the technology in the near future. Design and engineering of the LPN-16 has been completed with development of the first units to be tested at Southwest Research Institute (“SwRI”) in San Antonio, Texas in December 2014. We expect viewers of the first test to include government entities (federal, state and municipal), mobile service operators (carriers), as well as cable and fiber optic service providers.

 

On June 9, 2012, Wytec, formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Wylink, Inc., a Texas corporation, to market and sell millimeter wave spectrum in the quasi-licensed 60 & 90 Gigahertz frequency channels. The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has developed a unique application program giving the ability for qualified applicants to own millimeter spectrum under a program known as the Registered Link Program. We sell point-to-point registered links (“Registered Links”) as part of our backhaul solution in support of our 4G Wi-Fi network. As of November 3, 2014, we have sold 300 Registered Links in ten markets for a total of $9,254,480, of which 148 have been acquired by Wytec in exchange for shares of Wytec’s Series A Preferred Stock and a participating net profits interest in Wytec. The cash received from the sale of our Registered Links is recorded as “deferred revenue” and will be recorded as revenue once the telecommunication equipment is installed for the link owners.

 

Management now focuses its primary business on the development of its millimeter wave backhaul in support of its LPN-16 Small Cell solution for delivering 4G mobile broadband networks capable of delivering 200+ Mbps to mobile devices and to be utilized as a multi-carrier “offload” solution.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of our customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the uncollectability of our trade accounts receivable balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, increases in the allowance may be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.

 

 

Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:

 

Telecommunication equipment and computers	5 – 10 years
Furniture and fixtures	5 years

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

All share based-based payments to service providers or employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the income statement based upon their fair values. Stock issued for services and compensation was $-0- and $95,750 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Warrants issued for services and compensation was $536,150 and $-0- for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

We follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" for revenue recognition and SAB 104. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, four conditions must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing differences expected in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Result of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $529,673, as compared to revenue of $53,315 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase in revenue of $476,358 or 893% was primarily due to the recognition of revenue from deferred Link sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We are currently expanding our product lines to increase our revenue through alternative means such as “mobile” 4G services and our Registered Link Program, through which we intend to sell point to point Registered Links between two known GPS coordinates that make up a part of a backhaul network feeding into a microcell mobile broadband network.

 

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $184,298, an increase of $144,090, or 358%, from $40,208 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our cost of sales increased due to the installation of equipment related to the recognition of revenue from deferred Link sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

General and administrative expenses were $3,334,221 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $1,805,939 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This resulted in an increase of $1,528,282 or 85% compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was largely a result of commissions and testing paid to third parties to assist in the setup and registration of Registered Links sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Salary and wage expenses were $814,413 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $519,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which resulted in an increase of $294,754 or 57% compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in salary and wages is due to increase in the cost of living adjustment and compensation (including stock compensation) of certain current employees.

 

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $69,303, as compared to $128,115 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This resulted in a decrease of $58,812 or 46% compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to amortization of debt discount of approximately $65,204 that was recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 that did not occur in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing will be required in order to meet our current and projected cash requirements for operations. As of September 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $3,843,548. As of September 30, 2014, $3,930,000 of our current liabilities are deferred revenue on Registered Link sales that have been funded by the customer, for which obligations to the customer have not yet been completed.

 

As of September 30, 2014, $779,632 of our outstanding convertible debentures and notes payable are in default or mature within the next twelve months and are classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. We plan to remedy the defaults through conversions or through repayments once future financing is secured.

 

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our revenues are not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions, effectively monitor and manage our claims for payments that are owed to us, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.

 

As of September 30, 2014, our cash balance was $560,375. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through sales of registered links, private placements of our securities, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We do not anticipate generating sufficient revenue to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to attempt to find sources of additional capital in the future to fund our growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. In October 2014, we commenced two private placements of our securities in order to raise a total of $19,950,000 in additional capital. As of November 3, 2014, we have not sold any securities in either placement. There is no assurance that we would be able to meet our working capital requirements through the private placement of equity or debt or from any other source.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company has reviewed the updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, and determined that the updates are either not applicable to the Company or will not have a material impact on the Company.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

 

Not Applicable.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, William H. Gray, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014. Specifically, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in timely alerting our management to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, for the following reasons:

 

·	We do not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties.
·	We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.

 

We have begun to rectify these weaknesses by hiring additional accounting personnel and will create an independent board of directors once we have additional resources to do so.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
