USURF AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES |
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 |
(Unaudited) |
Note 1. Nature of Business, Organization and Basis of Presentation |
|
Basis of Presentation |
|
USURF America, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Internet Media Corporation, was incorporated as Media Entertainment, Inc. in the State of Nevada on November 1, 1996. The Company currently provides wireless Internet access services to a small number of customers in Del Rio, Texas, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. |
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and all wholly owned subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. |
Loss Per Common Share |
|
Basic loss per common share has been computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding throughout the period. Calculation of diluted loss per common share is not presented because the effects of potential common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and contingently issuable or redeemable shares would be anti-dilutive. |
Note 2. Interim Consolidated Financial Statements |
|
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including subsidiaries, and include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated. |
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the SEC. Certain reclassifications and adjustments may have been made to the financial statements for the comparative period of the prior fiscal year to conform with the 2001 presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the entire year. |

Note 5. Contingencies |
|
A. Bankruptcy |
|
On September 29, 2000, three creditors of CyberHighway filed an involuntary petition in the Idaho Federal Bankruptcy Court, styled In Re: CyberHighway, Inc.. In December 2000, CyberHighway and the petitioning creditors filed a joint motion to dismiss this proceeding. However, some of CyberHighway’s creditors objected to the joint motion to dismiss and the motion failed. |
Subsequent to the involuntary bankruptcy, CyberHighway lost all of its customers. Due to this loss of customer base, the Company's intangible assets relating to those customers became worthless and were written off in 2000. Due to this change in operating environment, goodwill was impaired and, consequently, the goodwill associated with these operations was written off in the 2000 statement of operations. |
B. Potential Rescission Claims |
|
From January 2000 through June 2001, a total of 4,906,549 shares of the common stock of the Company may have been issued in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The aggregate value assigned to these shares upon their issuance totaled $5,090,252. For a period of one year from issuance, the issuees of these shares had a potential claim for rescission of their respective issuance transactions. |
At December 31, 2001, 2,138,726 of these shares have been reflected under the redeemable stock caption on the accompanying balance sheet with an assigned value of $1,192,700. |
At June 30, 2002, none of these shares remained subject to potential rescission claims. |
The diminishing number of shares subject to potential rescission claims was caused either by the expiration of the respective statute of limitations periods or by the transfer of the subject shares by the original issuees. |
None of these potential rescission claims was ever asserted against the Company. |
Note 6. Financing Transaction |
|
On May 9, 2001, the Company signed an amended and restated common stock purchase agreement with an unrelated company to sell up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock for up to $10,000,000. The purchase price of the shares under this purchase agreement varies, based on market prices of the Company's common stock. The purchase agreement calls for the Company to meet certain requirements and maintain certain criteria with respect to its common stock in order to avoid an event of default. Upon the occurrence of the event of default, the buyer is no longer obligated to purchase any additional shares of common stock. The registration statement filed with respect to this financing transaction became effective on June 29, 2001. The commencement date of the purchase agreement was July 10, 2001. To date, the Company has received approximately $395,000 in proceeds under the purchase agreement, approximately $55,000 of which was received by the Company during the first six months of 2002. The purchase agreement remains in effect. |
Note 7. Stock Ownership Plan |
|
In March 2002, the Company adopted a 2002 Stock Ownership Plan for employees and consultants, reserving 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance thereunder. |
In March 2002, the Company entered into a consulting and marketing license agreement with a third party, under which agreement the Company granted the consultant options, under its 2002 Stock Ownership Plan, to purchase up to $600,000 of its common stock, up to $50,000 per month for ten years, the per share exercise price being based on future market prices, with a 38.75% discount to the market price on the date of exercise. In March and April 2002, the consultant exercised options to purchase $98,000 of Company common stock. 2,000,000 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to this option exercise. |
In May 2002, the Company issued to a consultant 75,000 shares of stock valued at $4,500, under its 2002 Stock Ownership Plan. |
Note 8. AMEX Listing |
|
Currently, we are not in compliance with the continued listing guidelines of AMEX. During the second quarter of 2001, AMEX first inquired with respect to our plan for achieving compliance with its continued listing guidelines. Our response to AMEX included an explanation of our anticipated future funding under the Fusion Capital agreement and the positive effects this funding would likely have on our business and financial condition, particularly in increasing our total assets and stockholders’ equity. In July 2002, we were notified by AMEX that we have fallen below the continued listing standards of AMEX. We have 18 months in which to regain compliance with AMEX’s continued listing standards. We have fallen below certain of AMEX’s continued listing standards: (1) losses from operations in its two most recent fiscal years with shareholders’ equity below $2 million; and (2) sustained losses so substantial in relation to the company’s overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, the opinion of AMEX, as to whether the company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature. After AMEX reviewed our plan for regaining compliance, we were granted an extension of time (18 months) to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. We will be subject to periodic review by the AMEX staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in our being delisted from AMEX. Should our common stock be delisted from AMEX, it is very likely that the market price for our stock could drop dramatically. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our listing on AMEX. |
Note 9. Significant Equity Purchase |
|
On June 14, 2002, the Company completed a securities purchase agreement with Evergreen Venture Partners, LLC, whereby the Company issued units of its securities for cash in the amount of $240,000 ($115,000 plus a subscription of $10,000 in April and $125,000 in June). The Company sold to Evergreen a total of 3,645,833 shares of common stock, 3,125,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase one a like number of shares at an exercise price of $.15 per share and 3,125,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase one a like number of shares at an exercise price of $.30 per share. Also pursuant to this agreement, the Company hired a new president and chief executive officer, who received, as a signing bonus, 3,000,000 shares of common stock; the Company’s former president, became Chairman of the Board, reduced the term of his remaining term of employment from approximately 4 years to six months, waived the payment of all accrued and unpaid salary and waived the repayment of all loans made by him to the Company, in consideration of 2,000,000 shares of common stock; two of the Company’s vice presidents reduced the terms of their remaining terms of employment from approximately 4 years to six months and one year to six months, respectively, and waived the payment of all accrued and unpaid salary, in consideration of 2,000,000 shares of common stock; and the Company’s other vice president terminated his employment with the Company. Also, under this agreement, Evergreen has the right to name two persons to become directors of the Company. Evergreen has not yet named any person as a director. |
As a result of the transactions with these four officers arising out of the Evergreen agreement, the Company incurred a charge against earnings during the second quarter of 2002 of $567,180. |
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
|
Background |
|
|
We have determined to commit all of our available resources to the exploitation of our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access products. We currently lack the capital necessary to do so. |
|
We were organized to operate in the wireless cable and community (low power) television industries. Due to existing market conditions, we have abandoned our wireless cable business. Because our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access system can be adapted for use on the wireless cable frequencies, we believe our frequencies possess future value. However, these frequencies will not be of value to us, unless and until the FCC approves two-way communications on them. |
|
Effective July 1, 1999, we assigned all of our television-related assets to New Wave Media Corp., in exchange for a 15% ownership interest in New Wave common stock. This business segment was discontinued as of that date and, since then, has not, and will not, generate any revenues. Our board of directors has declared a dividend with respect to all of the New Wave shares. These shares will be distributed to our shareholders, upon New Wave’s completion of a Securities Act registration of the distribution transaction. This registration proceeding has not been commenced by New Wave, due to a lack of funds necessary to pay related professional expenses. New Wave has advised us that it is making its best efforts to obtain capital for this purpose, but cannot provide an exact time by which this will occur. |
Current Overview |
|
|
Our management has committed all available current and future capital and other resources to the commercial exploitation of our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access products. It is these products upon which our future is based. |
|
Our new president has expanded the scope of our original Quick-Cell business plan, which called for the construction of Quick-Cell systems in small and medium-sized cities. In addition to our original plan, we are now attempting to develop working partnerships with companies who need to create or extend broadband Internet connectivity for their customers, employees and partners. The companies with which we seek to do business operate in the following market segments, among others: hospitality, education, aviation, multiple dwelling unit, planned community development, independent local exchange, utility and municipality. |
|
On June 14, 2002, we completed a securities purchase agreement with Evergreen Venture Partners, LLC, whereby we issued securities for cash in the amount of $250,000 (including a $10,000 stock subscription receivable). We sold to Evergreen a total of 3,645,833 shares of our common stock, 3,125,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase one a like number of shares at an exercise price of $.15 per share and 3,125,000 common stock purchase warrants to purchase one a like number of shares at an exercise price of $.30 per share. Also pursuant to this agreement, we hired a new president and chief executive officer, Douglas O. McKinnon, who also became a director, and who received, as a signing bonus, 3,000,000 shares of our common stock; David M. Lofin, our former president, became our Chairman of the Board, reduced the term of his remaining term of employment from approximately 4 years to six months, waived the payment of all accrued and unpaid salary and waived the repayment of all loans made by him to us, in consideration of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock; two of our vice presidents reduced the terms of their remaining terms of employment from approximately 4 years to six months and one year to six months, respectively, and waived the payment of all accrued and unpaid salary, in consideration of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock; and our other vice president terminated his employment with us. Also, under this agreement, upon the final closing scheduled for June 14, 2002, Evergreen has the right to name two persons to become directors of USURF America. To date, Evergreen has not named any person as a director. |
|
As a result of the transactions with these four officers arising out of the Evergreen agreement, we incurred a charge against our earnings during the second quarter of 2002 of $567,180. |
|
In May 2001, we entered into an amended and restated common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, which replaced a similar agreement entered into in October 2000. Pursuant to the agreement, Fusion Capital may purchase up to $10 million of our common stock. The shares of our common stock being issued under this agreement are the subject of an effective registration statement. To date, we have received only $395,000 under our agreement with Fusion Capital. Fusion Capital has not purchased the maximum shares possible under this agreement. This lack of significant funding has impeded our ability to expand our Quick-Cell business operations. We will remain in this position unless and until (1) our stock price increases significantly or (2) we secure funding from a source other than Fusion Capital, of which there is no assurance. Please see the discussion under the heading “Management’s Plans Relating to Future Liquidity”, for a more thorough explanation of the impact this agreement could have on our business. Should we obtain more substantial funding, we would be able to begin to pursue our wireless Internet business plan. With the funds provided by the Evergreen agreement transaction, we have been able to begin to implement our newly expanded business plan, our agreement with SunWest Communications being the first positive result of these efforts. We expect to have the first customer in Colorado Springs on line during August 2002 and that our third quarter operating results will begin to reflect the implementation of our agreement with SunWest. |
|
In October 2001, we began company-owned Quick-Cell operations in Del Rio, Texas, and have agreements with two resellers there. We have approximately 50 customers in Del Rio, and consumer response has been excellent. However, our customer growth will continue to be slowed by a lack of capital. We have also completed engineering efforts in four other South Texas towns. We will not begin marketing our Quick-Cell service in these towns, until we stabilize our working capital situation. |
|
As the level of funding under the Fusion Capital agreement has been lower than we had earlier anticipated, $55,000 during the first half of 2002, we obtained additional funds through sales of our securities, as follows: |
- |
$57,500 (last quarter of 2001) from the sale of 575,000 shares of our common stock and a total of 1,150,000 warrants; |
- |
$30,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants - 200,000 shares at $.15 per share; |
- |
$13,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants - 162,500 shares at $.08 per share; and |
- |
$98,000 from the exercise of options - 2,000,000 shares at $.049 per share (a 38.75% discount to the market price on the date of exercise). |
- |
$240,000 ($115,000 plus a subscription of $10,000 in April and $125,000 in June) from the sale of 3,645,833 shares and a total of 6,250,000 warrants, pursuant to the Evergreen transaction. |
|
The majority of these funds were used for operating expenses. Approximately $100,000 of these funds has been applied toward the expansion of our wireless Internet access business. |
|
We will need further capital, as we continue to expand our wireless Internet access business. |
CyberHighway Bankruptcy |
|
|
In September 2000, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against CyberHighway in the Idaho Federal Bankruptcy Court, styled In Re: CyberHighway, Inc., Case No. 00-02454, by ProPeople Staffing, CTC Telecom, Inc. and Hawkins-Smith. A joint motion to dismiss the bankruptcy proceeding was unsuccessful because some of CyberHighway’s creditors believe that CyberHighway’s as-yet unasserted damage claims against the original petitioning creditors and their law firm and a claim against Dialup USA, Inc. represent CyberHighway’s most valuable assets. These as-yet unasserted claims include claims for bad faith filing of the original bankruptcy petition as to the original petitioning creditors and their law firm, as well as a claim for tortious interference with beneficial business relationships as to Dialup USA, Inc. These creditors desire that these claims be adjudicated in the bankruptcy court. It is likely that, at some time in the future, a final order of bankruptcy will be entered with respect to CyberHighway. No prediction of the timing of such an order can be made, although we believe that such an order would come only after the final adjudication of the claims described above. |
|
The January 1999 acquisition of CyberHighway fundamentally altered our company. Our annual revenues went from nearly zero to about $2.5 million. However, the involuntary bankruptcy proceeding caused the demise of CyberHighway’s business. CyberHighway’s company-owned dial-up customer base went from approximately 8,500 to none. The filing of the involuntary bankruptcy and CyberHighway’s switch-over to the network of Dialup USA were the primary causes of CyberHighway’s customer base demise. We will not apply any available future capital to the revitalization of our dial-up Internet access business. |
Results of Operations |
|
|
General. |
|
|
By the end of February 2001, CyberHighway had lost all of its dial-up Internet access customers and we do not foresee the revitalization of CyberHighway’s business. You should not purchase our common stock expecting that CyberHighway’s business will assist in making us profitable. |
|
During the first half of 2001, we derived no revenue from CyberHighway’s business. For the first six months of 2001 and 2002, our small amounts of revenues were dervied from our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access operations. We currently lack the capital necessary to pursue our complete Quick-Cell business plan, and we may never possess enough capital with which to exploit fully our Quick-Cell products. In this circumstance, it is likely that we would never earn a profit. |
|
Before the demise of CyberHighway, our revenues were derived primarily from monthly customer payments for dial-up access and from per-customer royalty payments from our CyberHighway affiliate-ISPs. |
|
Beginning in March 2000, we began initial Quick-Cell wireless Internet access operations in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Throughout 2000, our customers in Santa Fe were in their one-year “free-use” period. During most of 2001, we did not charge our Santa Fe customers for service, due to our commencing an upgrade to the system. We were forced to suspend the upgrade of the system and have only a few customers remaining. We have yet to derive significant revenue from our Santa Fe market. In the last quarter of 2001, we began to derive revenues from the first customers in Del Rio, Texas. We have lacked capital with which to expand either of these markets. |
|
In September 2001, we began Quick-Cell operations in Del Rio, Texas. We have approximately 50 customers online, but our growth there has been slowed significantly due to our lack of capital. We cannot predict the number of customers we will secure in any specific time frame, due to our lack of capital. In Del Rio, we have chosen to make sustained slow progress in customer acquisition, rather than to have begun full-scale marketing activities only to suspend them soon after their start due to our lack of capital. Should we begin to derive greater amounts of funds under the Fusion Capital agreement or from another source, of which there is no assurance, we plan to construct additional Quick-Cell systems throughout the remainder of 2002. |
|
In the middle of 2000, we began marketing our Quick-Cell systems to local exchange telephone companies, independent telephone companies, digital subscriber line resellers and Internet service providers. We sold three Quick-Cell systems in a short time. Due to a lack of capital, however, this marketing effort was suspended before we investigated the nature of the other inquiring companies. No paying customers use these systems, due to circumstances involving these companies that are beyond our control. During the first six months of 2001 and 2002, we derived no significant revenues from customer modem sales to these Quick-Cell purchasers, and we do not expect to do so during 2002. |
|
In cities in which we construct company-owned Quick-Cell systems, we intend to employ telephone marketing as the initial means for acquiring customers and, later, mass media. We will employ a sales force that will focus primarily on potential business customers. This focus on business customers is based on our management’s informal study of Internet usage by businesses versus home users that revealed businesses’ higher demand for high-speed Internet access. Our management’s decision may prove to have been incorrect, which would significantly impair our ability to earn a profit. Our management believes, based on its collective business experience, that effective marketing techniques can overcome Quick-Cell’s lack of name recognition, although this belief may also prove to be incorrect. Our Quick-Cell business will not be able to succeed without additional capital. |
|
In cities where a Quick-Cell reseller operates, we will not have final approval of the reseller’s marketing strategies. Our resellers will be permitted to market our Quick-Cell service in any commercially reasonable manner. We cannot, therefore, assure you that any of our resellers will ever achieve high enough sales levels that would permit us to earn a profit. |
|
Our revenues for the first six months of 2001 and 2002 were significantly below those of the comparable 2000 period, since we no longer derive revenues from the operations of CyberHighway and we have lacked capital with which to commence a full-scale implementation of our Quick-Cell business plan. In 2002, we will produce significant revenues only if we are able to be successful in placing Quick-Cell service customers online, of which there is no assurance, due to the uncertainty surrounding our level of capitalization to be derived under the Fusion Capital agreement or any other sources. |
|
We have taken steps towards the preparation of tax returns for all years since our inception, though none has been filed. Because we have never earned a profit, there is no tax liability that would arise from this circumstance. |
|
Potential Rescission Claims. |
|
|
At June 30, 2001, 4,906,549 shares of our common stock with an aggregate assigned value of $5,090,252 may have been issued in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Our balance sheet reflects a Redeemable Common Stock line item with this assigned value, since each of the issuees of these shares may have had a potential claim for rescission of their respective issuance transactions. None of these issuees made such a claim within the various statute of limitations periods and, consequently, at June 30, 2002, none of our shares remained subject to potential rescission claims, which circumstance is reflected in the Redeemable Common Stock line item of our balance sheet. |
|
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002, versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2001. |
|
|
During both periods, our small amounts of revenues were derived from our wireless Internet access business. Without additional capital, our revenues will remain at these levels. |
|
Our operating results for the first six months of 2002 and 2001 are summarized in the following table: |

|
(1,585,406) |
|
Our net loss of $1,675,891 (unaudited) for the first six months of 2002 was slightly higher than our net loss for the 2001 period of $1,585,406 (unaudited). Certain line items in our statements of operations changed materially from the 2001 period to the 2002 period. |
- |
Professional fees decreased from $1,139,606 in the 2001 period to $693,057 in the 2002 period. This decrease is a result of our not having required professional services during the 2002 period at the levels required during the 2001 period. Also, during the 2002, we did not have a charge against our earnings similar to the $248,000 amount that occurred during the 2001 period, the result of the issuance of 800,000 shares as a commitment fee under a common stock purchase agreement. Should we continue to lack cash reserves, it is likely that, during the remainder of 2002, we would issue shares of our common stock in payment of certain professional fees. |
- |
During the 2001 period, we incurred no advertising expense. However, during the 2002 period, we incurred advertising expenses of $68,845. Substantially all of our advertising expenses during the current period are attributable to the exercise of options to acquire shares of our common stock by a consultant at a 38.75% discount to the market price on the date of exercise. |
- |
Salaries and commissions increased from $376,568 in the 2001 period to $815,163 in the 2002 period. This increase in salaries and commissions is attributable to issuances of shares of our common stock to our officers under their employment agreements, in connection with the Evergreen transaction, as described in the following paragraph. |
|
As a result of the Evergreen transaction, we incurred a one-time charge against our earnings during the second quarter of 2002 in the amount of $567,180 (net of forgiven accrued and unpaid salaries and unpaid loans to certain of our officers), due to the following stock issuances: |
- |
3,000,000 shares issued to our new president and chief executive officer as a signing bonus under his employment agreement. |
- |
2,000,000 shares to our former president (current Chairman of the Board) in consideration of his agreeing to reduce the term of his employment agreement, waive the payment of accrued salary and waive the repayment of unpaid loans made by him to us. |
- |
2,000,000 shares to one of our vice presidents in consideration of his agreeing to reduce the term of his employment agreement and waive the payment of accrued salary. |
- |
2,000,000 shares to our vice president of corporate development in consideration of his agreeing to reduce the term of his employment agreement and waive the payment of accrued salary. |
|
We expect that our results of operations for the third quarter of 2002 will be similar to those of the first tow quarters of 2002. |
|
Due to our severe lack of capital during the 2001 and 2002 periods, we issued shares of our stock to consultants in payment of their services. The fair value of the shares issued to consultants is included in our statements of operations under the “Professional Fees” line item. Issuing shares of our common stock was the only means by which we could obtain the consultants’ services. The value of the consulting services received by us under each agreement has been expensed in equal monthly amounts over their respective terms: |
- |
during the first six months of 2001, we issued 630,000 shares of our common stock under consulting agreements; these shares were valued for financial accounting purposes at approximately $300,000, in the aggregate. This amount was expensed in monthly amounts during 2001. |
- |
during the first six months of 2002, we issued 4,170,000 shares of our common stock under consulting agreements and in payment of professional fees; these shares were valued for financial accounting purposes at approximately $610,000, in the aggregate. This amount is being expensed in equal monthly amounts over periods ranging from one month to one year. Nearly all of this total amount will be expensed during 2002. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources |
|
|
General. |
|
|
Since our inception, we have had a significant working capital deficit. Currently, we are substantially illiquid, although we do possess enough cash to continue our current level of business activities, through the result of recent securities sales. As the level of funding under the Fusion Capital agreement has been lower than we had earlier anticipated, $55,000 during the first half of 2002, we obtained additional funds through sales of our securities, as follows: |
- |
$57,500 (last quarter of 2001) from the sale of 575,000 shares of our common stock and a total of 1,150,000 warrants; |
- |
$30,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants - 200,000 shares at $.15 per share; |
- |
$13,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants - 162,500 shares at $.08 per share; |
- |
$98,000 from the exercise of options - 2,000,000 shares at $.049 per share (a 38.75% discount to the market price on the date of exercise); |
- |
$240,000 ($115,000 plus a subscription of $10,000 in April and $125,000 in June) from the sale of 3,645,833 shares and a total of 6,250,000 warrants, pursuant to the Evergreen transaction. |
|
The majority of these funds were used for operating expenses. Approximately $100,000 of these funds has been applied toward the expansion of our wireless Internet access business. |
|
We will need further capital, as we continue to expand our wireless Internet access business. It is possible that we will not be able to secure adequate capital as we need it. Also, without additional capital, it is possible that we would be forced to cease operations. |
|
In July 2002, we became aware of an existing default judgment against us, dated June 7, 2001, in the approximate amount of $22,000. The lawsuit went unchallenged as a result of administrative error. We intend to seek to set aside this judgment, as we have a valid defense to the underlying claims. However, we cannot predict the outcome of our efforts in this regard. Should we fail to set aside this judgment, we will be required to pay this judgment amount. In August 2002, an arbitrator ruled against us in an arbitration proceeding against our former chief financial officer, in the amount of $75,000. It is likely that we will be required to pay this amount; however, the terms of this payment have not yet been determined. |
|
Our Capital Needs. |
|
|
To sustain our current level of operations for the next twelve months, we will require additional capital of approximately $300,000. To accomplish our goals of expanding our Quick-Cell business, we will require at least $1.2 million. If we are unable to obtain this needed capital, we could be forced to cease our operations. |
|
Currently we do not possess enough capital to accomplish our goals for our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access business, including the construction of Quick-Cell systems. When we refer to the construction of a Quick-Cell system in any city, that process requires the following expenditures: |
- |
A single Quick-Cell cell site, including a Quick-Cell server modem, parts and configuration - projected average cost: $25,000; |
- |
Tower lease site - projected average cost: $500 per month; |
- |
Direct T1 telephone line connection to the Internet - projected average cost: $2,000 per month; and |
- |
Initial inventory of customer modems - approximate cost: $70,000. |
|
However, in Del Rio, due to our lack of large sums of capital, we were able to re-design our Quick-Cell system to achieve significant cost savings and built the first portion of that system, which included two server cells - the original plan having called for one server cell - for approximately $18,000, and we have added a third server cell to this system, in response to consumer demand. However, we continue to lack capital with which to market our Quick-Cell service aggressively. Rather, in Del Rio, we have chosen to make sustained slow progress in customer acquisition, rather than to have begun full-scale marketing activities only to suspend them soon after their start due to our lack of capital. Should we begin to derive greater amounts of funds under the Fusion Capital agreement, of which there is no assurance, we plan to construct additional Quick-Cell systems throughout 2002. |
|
If and when we begin to obtain the maximum amount of funds available pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement, we expect, then, to have enough money to pay for the construction of the initial Quick-Cell cell site in at least three markets per month. We cannot assure you that we will be able to construct Quick-Cell cell sites at that rate or that we will ever possess adequate capital with which to engage in this level of activities. |
|
In light of the relatively small amount of capital required to construct each Quick-Cell cell site, we believe that the expected funding under the Fusion Capital agreement would provide us with enough capital to construct the initial Quick-Cell cell site and commence marketing activities in approximately 30 markets. With the Quick-Cell construction permitted by this amount of capital, we will be able to determine whether our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access business is a viable business, as presently offered. However, the funds expected under the Fusion Capital agreement will not be adequate for us to pursue our complete Quick-Cell business plan, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital when needed. Our inability to obtain further capital when needed would lessen our chance of earning a profit, as we would become illiquid. |
|
Proceeds from the Fusion Capital Agreement. |
|
|
Beginning in July 2001, we began to receive the first funds of up to $10 million under our agreement with Fusion Capital. Since then, we have received only $395,000 in payment of a total of 3,100,000 shares under this agreement. Fusion Capital has not purchased the maximum funding amount possible under this agreement. This lack of significant funding has impeded our ability to expand our Quick-Cell business operations. We will remain in this position unless and until (1) our stock price increases significantly or (2) we secure funding from a source other than Fusion Capital, of which there is no assurance. Assuming we receive the entire $10 million under that agreement, of which there is no assurance, we anticipate that we will apply these funds as follows: |
|
Purchase of Quick-Cell Equipment |
$6,000,000 |
|
|
Construction of Quick-Cell Systems |
1,300,000 |
|
|
Marketing |
1,000,000 |
|
|
General and Administrative Expenses |
200,000 |
|
|
Finder’s Fee |
800,000 |
|
|
Working Capital |
700,000 |
|
|
Total |
$10,000,000 |
|
|
You should note, however, that we may not realize $10 million under the Fusion Capital agreement, due to the current low market price of our common stock. In addition, under the Fusion Capital agreement, we must maintain compliance with certain criteria in order to avoid an event of default. Currently, we are in compliance with these criteria and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future. |
|
Should all of our outstanding warrants, including all of the warrants to be issued in connection with the Fusion Capital agreement, be exercised, we would receive cash proceeds of approximately $3,203,487. Funds received from the exercise of warrants would be used to purchase Quick-Cell equipment, to construct Quick-Cell systems, to market our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access service and for working capital. |
|
You should note that we may never receive any of the funds discussed above. Our failure to obtain capital from these sources could cause us to cease our operations. |
|
Potential Rescission Claims. |
|
|
At June 30, 2001, 4,906,549 shares of our common stock with an aggregate assigned value of $5,090,252 may have been issued in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Our balance sheet reflects a Redeemable Common Stock line item with this assigned value, since each of the issuees of these shares may have had a potential claim for rescission of their respective issuance transactions. None of these issuees made such a claim within the various statute of limitations periods and, consequently, at June 30, 2002, none of our shares remained subject to potential rescission claims, which circumstance is reflected in the Redeemable Common Stock line item of our balance sheet. |
|
June 30, 2002. |
|
|
Historically, we have had a significant working capital deficit. At June 30, 2002, our working capital deficit was $926,299 (unaudited) which is only slightly lower than our $1,254,897 deficit at December 31, 2001. Our receipt of funds through sales of our securities during the first six months of 2002 permitted us to improve moderately our working capital deficit by the end of the period. Approximately 85% of our accounts payable are accounts payable of CyberHighway and are subject to the pending Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding of CyberHighway. Without additional capital, our working capital deficit can be expected to become larger each quarter. |

Notes Payable to Stockholder |
0 |
|
18,521 |
|
Our accrued payroll at June 30, 2002, as well as at December 31, 2001, is attributable to accrued salary of our officers. In connection with the Evergreen transaction described above, three of our officers waived payment of all of their accrued salaries, in the approximate amount of $225,000, which is reflected on our June 30, 2002, balance sheet. |
|
We reduced our note payable to stockholder during the first quarter of 2002 by $18,521, and owed this shareholder no amount at June 30, 2002. We do not expect that we will again borrow funds from this shareholder. |
|
As the level of funding under the Fusion Capital agreement has been lower than we had earlier anticipated, $55,000 during the first half of 2002, we obtained additional funds through sales of our securities, as follows: |
- |
$57,500 (last quarter of 2001) from the sale of 575,000 shares of our common stock and a total of 1,150,000 warrants; |
- |
$30,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants - 200,000 shares at $.15 per share; |
- |
$13,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants - 162,500 shares at $.08 per share; |
- |
$98,000 from the exercise of options - 2,000,000 shares at $.049 per share (a 38.75% discount to the market price on the date of exercise); |
- |
$240,000 ($115,000 plus a subscription of $10,000 in April and $125,000 in June) from the sale of 3,645,833 shares and a total of 6,250,000 warrants, pursuant to the Evergreen transaction. |
|
The majority of these funds were used for operating expenses. Approximately $100,000 of these funds has been applied toward the expansion of our wireless Internet access business. |
|
Without obtaining at least $1,200,000 in new capital, we will continue to have a significant working capital deficit and will not be able to operate from a position of liquidity. This will impair our ability to pursue our Quick-Cell business plan and, thus, our ability ever to earn a profit. |
|
If we are unable to obtain significant additional capital, it is possible that we would be forced to cease operations. |
|
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. |
|
|
During the first half of 2002, our operations used $344,180 (unaudited) in cash compared to cash used of $330,185 (unaudited) during the first half of 2001. In both periods, the use of cash in operations was a direct result of the lack of revenues compared to our operating expenses, particularly salaries and commissions in 2001 and greater business development activities in 2002. |
|
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. |
|
|
Our investing activities neither provided nor used cash in the first half of 2002 and used $1,600 in cash during the first half of 2001. Because we lack working capital, we cannot predict our cash flows from investing activities for the remainder of 2002. |
|
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. |
|
|
For the first half of 2002, our financing activities provided $415,579 (unaudited) in cash. Our payments on notes payable to stockholder of $18,521 and $4,900 in finder’s fees were offset by payments received on subscriptions receivable of $237,000, $189,000 in cash from sales of our common stock and $13,000 in cash obtained by the exercise of certain warrants. For the first quarter of 2001, our financing activities provided $287,090 in cash. Of this amount, $26,090 is attributable to loans from our president and $261,000 is attributable to private sales of securities. We continue to seek capital and cannot, therefore, predict future levels of cash flows from financing activities. |
Management's Plans Relating to Future Liquidity |
|
|
To sustain our current level of operations for the next twelve months, we will require additional capital of approximately $300,000. Our recent securities purchase agreement with Evergreen will provide a significant portion of this capital requirement. To accomplish our goals of expanding our Quick-Cell business, we will require at least $1.2 million. |
|
Our best opportunity for obtaining needed funds is pursuant to the Fusion Capital agreement. However, to date, we have received only $395,000 under our agreement with Fusion Capital. Fusion Capital has not purchased the maximum shares possible under this agreement. |
|
Since we only plan to sell up to 6,000,000 shares to Fusion Capital under the Fusion Capital agreement, the selling price of our stock sold to Fusion Capital will need to average $1.67 per share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $10 million under that agreement. Assuming a selling price of $.08 per share, the closing sale price of the common stock on May 16, 2002, and the purchase by Fusion Capital of the full amount of shares purchasable under the Fusion Capital agreement, total proceeds to us would only be approximately $600,000, unless we choose to issue more than 6,000,000 shares, which we have the right to do. |
|
Should we obtain at least $1.2 million under the Fusion Capital agreement, we believe that we will be able to have accomplished our primary objectives: |
- |
entering into several working partnerships with companies who need to create or extend broadband Internet connectivity for their customers, employees and partners; |
- |
placing at least 10,000 customers on our Quick-Cell systems during the next year; and |
- |
proving the commercial viability of our Quick-Cell wireless Internet access service. |
|
We cannot assure you that we will accomplish these objectives. |
|
Currently, we have no other sources for funding on the scale contemplated by the Fusion Capital transaction. |
|
If we do not obtain the necessary funding, we would be forced to cease operations. |
Capital Expenditures |
|
|
During the first three months of 2002, we made no capital expenditures and we currently have no capital with which to make any significant capital expenditures. Should we obtain significant funding, of which there is no assurance, we would be able to make major expenditures on Quick-Cell-related equipment. However, without additional capital, we will make no capital expenditures. |

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION |
Item 1. Legal Proceedings. |
|
|
CyberHighway Involuntary Bankruptcy |
|
|
On September 29, 2000, an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed against CyberHighway in the Idaho Federal Bankruptcy Court, styled In Re: CyberHighway, Inc., Case No. 00-02454. The petitioning creditors were ProPeople Staffing, CTC Telecom, Inc. and Hawkins-Smith. In December 2000, CyberHighway and the petitioning creditors filed a joint motion to dismiss this proceeding. The joint motion to dismiss was denied because the creditors believe that CyberHighway’s as-yet unasserted damage claims against the original petitioning creditors and their law firm and a claim against Dialup USA, Inc. represent CyberHighway’s most valuable assets. These as-yet unasserted claims include claims for bad faith filing of the original bankruptcy petition as to the original petitioning creditors and their law firm, as well as claim for tortious interference with beneficial business relationships as to Dialup USA, Inc. It is likely that, at some time in the future, a final order of bankruptcy will be entered with respect to CyberHighway, no prediction of the timing of such an order can be made, although we believe that such an order would come only after the final adjudication of the claims described above. |
|
Other Litigation |
|
|
In November 2000, CyberHighway requested and received a temporary restraining order against Darrell Davis, formerly one of our officers, and his wife, Deanna Davis. We have alleged that the Davises have diverted dial-up customers from CyberHighway to a company controlled by him, all while he was an employee of USURF America. We expect that a hearing for our motion for a permanent injunction will occur in the future. In addition, we are seeking monetary damages in this action. No prediction as to its final outcome can be made. This case is styled: CyberHighway, Inc. versus Deanna Davis, individually and d/b/a Cyber-Trail, Inc., and Darrell D. Davis, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana, Case No. 478320. |
|
In January 2000, we instituted arbitration proceedings against Christopher L. Wiebelt, our former vice president of finance and chief financial officer. At the recent hearing, we alleged that Mr. Wiebelt violated certain terms of his employment agreement and sought damages resulting from those violations, while Mr. Wiebelt claimed wrongful termination under his employment agreement. The arbitrator has awarded Mr. Wiebelt $75,000. We expect to negotiate payment terms in the near future. This case is styled: USURF America, Inc. versus Christopher L. Wiebelt, American Arbitration Association, Case No. 71-160-00087-01. |
|
In July 2002, we became aware of an existing default judgment against us, dated June 7, 2001, in the approximate amount of $22,000. The lawsuit went unchallenged as a result of administrative error. We intend to seek to set aside this judgment, as we have a valid defense to the underlying claims. However, we cannot predict the outcome of our efforts in this regard. Should we fail to set aside this judgment, we will be required to pay this judgment amount. This case is styled Marcus, Merrick, Montgomery, Christianson & Hardee, LLP, vs. USURF America, Inc., District Court of the Fourth Judicial District, Ada County, State of Idaho, Case No. CV-OC-0101693D. |
|
Possible Claim |
|
|
Some time in the future, it is possible that we will enter into arbitration proceedings with Commonwealth Associates. The dispute revolves around Commonwealth’s claim that we owe it approximately 127,000 shares of our common stock. We do not believe Commonwealth is entitled to any shares and will vigorously defend our position in arbitration. We cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration proceeding. |
|
Potential Legal Proceeding |
|
|
In addition to CyberHighway’s cause of action against Dialup USA, it is the intention of USURF America to pursue damage claims against Dialup USA for tortiously interfering with the beneficial business relationships between CyberHighway and its customers. These claims arise out of Dialup USA’s actions on behalf of one of our former officers, which were designed to divert customers to a company controlled by him. Our claim against Dialup USA will be for approximately $2 million. We have not established a date by which we intend to commence this legal proceeding. |
