Note
2. Critical Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts
of
the
Company
and all
majority owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. At March 31, 2006 the Company
has
recorded minority interest of $2,382,123
representing
third party ownership of the entities not wholly owned by the Company. Sovereign
Partners, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company consolidates all
operations of its subsidiaries due to a controlling financial interest or a
controlling management interest in these subsidiaries. Currently the Company
is
formally dissolving Usurf Communications, Inc., Usurf TV, Inc. Pinnacle T-Bone,
LLC and Patio Homes at T-Bone Ranch, LLC. As the Company finalizes construction
projects, certain other entities will be dissolved in 2006.
In
accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-16, Accounting
for
Investments in Limited Liability Companies, the equity method of accounting
is
used for affiliated LLC entities over which the Company has significant
influence; generally this represents partnership equity or common stock
ownership interests of at least 3% to 5% and not more than 50%. Under the equity
method of accounting, the Company recognizes its pro rata share of the profits
and losses of these entities and have been included in other assets.
Inter-company
transactions and balances have been eliminated in the
consolidation.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123R, under which compensation expense is recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fair value of employee stock-based
compensation. The Company has elected the modified-prospective transition method
as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly, prior periods have not been
restated to reflect the effect of SFAS No. 123R. The modified-prospective
transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense recognized
in
the first quarter of fiscal 2006 include (1) quarterly amortization of all
stock-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and (2) quarterly amortization of
all stock-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on
the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 123R. In addition, pursuant to SFAS No. 123R, the Company is
required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating
stock-based compensation expense, rather than accounting for forfeitures as
incurred, which was the Company’s previous method. Compensation expense will be
recognized over the requisite service (vesting) period using the straight-line
attribution method.
Stock
for Services
The
Company has issued stock pursuant to various consulting agreements. Deferred
consulting costs which are valued at the stock price on the date of a particular
agreement or the value of services, are recorded as a reduction of stockholders’
equity and are amortized over the useful lives of the respective
agreements.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company charges video and data customers monthly service fees and recognizes
the
revenue in the month the services are provided or equipment is sold. The Company
bills monthly for voice (telephone) services in advance and generally receives
payments during the month in which the services are provided. To the extent
that
revenue is received, but not earned, the Company records these amounts as
deferred revenue.
The
Company recognizes revenue from the sale of real estate when cash is received,
title possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to
the
buyer and the Company is not obligated to perform significant additional
services after sale and delivery. During construction, all direct material
and
labor costs and those indirect costs related to acquisition and construction
are
capitalized, and all customer deposits are treated as liabilities. Capitalized
costs are charged to earnings upon revenue recognition. Costs incurred in
connection with completed homes and selling, general and administrative costs
are charged to expense as incurred.
For
the
mortgage brokerage operations, the Company only acts as an agent to place
mortgages with third parties. The Company recognizes revenue on fees received
from the mortgage lenders on the day the loan is closed, which is also the
day
the Company receives payment. The Company receives a percentage of the loan
closing by the third party sponsor based on the interest rate charged to the
consumer. The Company also recognizes loan origination fees from borrowers.
The
Company recognizes revenue from non-development construction consulting service
activities when performed and there are no remaining service
obligations.
Real
Estate and Land Inventory
Inventories,
consisting of single and multi family residential units and commercial projects
under construction, are stated at the lower of accumulated cost or net
realizable value. Inventories under development or held for development are
stated at accumulated cost, unless certain facts indicate such cost would not
be
recovered from the cash flows generated by future disposition. In this instance,
such inventories are measured at fair value.
Sold
units are expensed on a specific identification basis. Under the specific
identification basis, cost of sales includes the construction cost of the unit,
an average lot cost by project based on land acquisition and development costs,
and closing costs and commissions. Construction related overhead and salaries
are also capitalized and allocated proportionately to projects being developed.
Construction cost of the unit includes amounts paid through the closing date
of
the unit.
Major
components of inventory at March 31, 2006 were:
|
Residential/Commercial
units under construction
|
$23,665,054

an
allowance for bad debt. Uncollectible accounts receivable are then charged
against this allowance. At March 31, 2006 the Company has a recorded bad debt
allowance of $888,398.
Goodwill
Goodwill
was recorded at its purchase price and is not being amortized. Pursuant to
SFAS
142 Goodwill

(OTCBB: ZKID), and the market value of the shares was $20,000, while the book
value of the shares was $12,800 as of December 31, 2005 and therefore the
Company recorded $7,200 as an unrealized holding gain. Subsequent to March
31, 2006 ZKID Network Company renamed itself to EATware Corporation (OTCBB:
EATW) and executed a 4,000:1 reverse stock split therefore the Company now
holds
1,000 shares of EATware Corporation stock.

3. Financing Transactions
Convertible
Loan Agreements
In
the
first quarter of 2006, the Company entered into a series of Convertible Loan
Agreements with ISP V, LLC totaling $1,500,000. The final agreement terms is
for
the total $1,500,000 to be due in January 2008 and over the course of the loan
the principal shall accrue interest at a rate of 12% per year calculated
monthly. As partial consideration for the initial note, the Company issued
to
the Payee five year warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of common stock at
an
exercise price of $0.05. A debt discount value was calculated based upon the
Black-Scholes Pricing Model applied to the warrants; and over the life of the
initial note $16,825 of additional interest will be recorded relating to the
accretion of the note to its face value. For the Black-Scholes Pricing Model
the
average risk free interest rate used was 5%, volatility was estimated at 69%
and
the expected life was five years. The holder of the notes have the right, at
any
time, to convert $1,500,000 of the principal owed to the holder to shares of
Common Stock per the following formula: $800,000 convertible at $.025 per share,
$400,000 convertible at $0.05 per share and $300,000 at $0.075 per share. There
is no intrinsic value to the beneficial conversion feature as lowest conversion
rate is at $.025 per share and the Company’s stock was trading at $.0181 when
the agreement was signed.
In
March
2006, the Board of Directors for Cardinal Communications, Inc. (the “Company”)
approved on its behalf and the behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Sovereign
Companies, LLC (“Sovereign”), the execution of a Convertible Loan Agreement,
Promissory Note (the “Note”), and Pledge and Security Agreement with Thunderbird
Management Limited Partnership (“Thunderbird”).
The
Company is indebted to Thunderbird pursuant to two existing promissory notes.
The first, dated September 12, 2000, is in the original principal amount of
$702,000, with interest on the principal balance at the rate of 12% per annum;
the second, dated August 24, 2004, is in the original principal amount of
$800,000 with interest on the principal balance from time to time remaining
at
the rate of 10% per annum, collectively, the “Prior Notes”.
The
Convertible Loan Agreement consolidates for certain purposes the Prior Notes
and
a third note in the original principal amount of $998,000 dated March 24, 2006
(collectively, the “Thunderbird Notes”). The total principal amount owed under
the Thunderbird Notes is $2,500,000, the “Principal Amount”.
The
Thunderbird Notes are consolidated for the purposes of setting a single interest
rate and certain conversion rights for the Principal Amount. Interest on the
Principal Amount outstanding shall accrue at the rate of 12% per annum, which
interest shall be paid monthly, with the first installment payable on April
17,
2006, and subsequent payments at the seventeenth day of the month beginning
each
month thereafter. Overdue principal and interest on the Thunderbird Notes shall
bear interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at a rate of 18%
per
annum. The Note is due March 25, 2011. If not sooner redeemed or converted,
the
Thunderbird Notes shall mature on the fifth anniversary of the execution of
the
Convertible Loan Agreement, at which time all the remaining unpaid principal,
interest and any other charges then due under the agreement shall be due and
payable in full.
The
Thunderbird Notes shall be convertible, at either party’s option, into shares of
the Company’s common stock at four separate conversion prices: up to 25% of the
Principal Amount may be converted at $0.025 per share; up to twenty five percent
(25%) of the Principal Amount may be converted at $0.075 per share; up to 25%
of
the Principal Amount may be converted at $0.125 per share; and the final 25%
of
the Principal Amount may be converted at $0.175 per share (collectively, such
converted stock is referred to as the “Registerable Securities”).
In
the
Convertible Loan Agreement, the Company has agreed to register all or any
portion of the Registerable Securities any time it receives a written request
from Thunderbird that the Company file a registration statement under the 1933
Act covering the registration of at least a majority of the Registerable
Securities then outstanding. The Company has agreed, subject to the limitations
in the Convertible Loan Agreement, to use its best lawful efforts to effect
as
soon as reasonably possible, and in any event (if legally possible, and as
allowed by the SEC, and if no factor outside the Company’s reasonable control
prevents it) within 150 days of the receipt of the initial written registration
request, to effect the registration under the 1933 Act of all Registerable
Securities which the Thunderbird has requested.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in lieu of registration, the Company may provide Thunderbird
with
a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental
to
the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed
at
that time, and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement. Thereafter, the Company shall have the right to defer
the commencement of such a filing for a period of not more than 180 days after
receipt of the request; provided, however, that at least 12 months must elapse
between any two such deferrals.
Upon
the
occurrence of any event of default, the Payee may declare the remainder of
the
debt immediately due and payable. The Note is secured by the pledge of certain
assets by Borrower to the Payee pursuant to the Pledge and Security
Agreement.

Pledge and Security Agreement (“PSA”) secures payment of (i) all amounts now or

and whether now or hereafter declared, paid or made, and the right to receive
and receipt therefore; (ii) all Pledged Interests into which any of the Pledged
Interests are split or combined; and (iii) all other rights with respect to
the
Pledged Interests; provided, however, that Secured Party hereby agrees that,
if
and so long as Pledgors shall not be in default under this Agreement, Pledgors
shall have the right to vote, or to give any approval or consent in respect
of,
the Pledged Interests for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions
of
this Agreement.
Upon
the
full and final payment of the Thunderbird Notes, the security interests in
the
Pledged Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Interests shall
revert to the Pledgors. In addition, at any time and from time to time prior
to
such termination of the security interests, the Secured Party may release any
of
the Pledged Interests. Upon any such termination of the security interests
or
any release of the Pledged Interests, the Secured Party will, at the Pledgors’
expense, execute and deliver to the Pledgors such documents as the Pledgors
shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the security interests
or the release of the Pledged Interests.

member
of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer,
Edouard A. Garneau, is related (as son-in-law) to the General Partner of
Thunderbird Management. Mr. Garneau did not participate in the vote by

Agreement, or Convertible Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”). The
remaining members of Cardinal’s Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve
the Agreements.

Purchase
and Exchange Agreement
On
February 17, 2006, the Company, Livonia Pty Limited (an Australian corporation)
and Entertainment Media & Telecoms Corporation Limited (“EMT”), executed an
agreement regarding the purchase and the exchange of certain debt owed by EMT
and/or its subsidiaries (collectively, “EMT”) for equity in EMT, and including
provisions for a loan for working capital from Cardinal to GalaVu (the “EMT
Agreement”).
Pursuant
to the EMT Agreement, Cardinal agreed to purchase the balance of the debt owed
by EMT to Alleasing Finance Australia Limited (“Alleasing”), in the principal
amount of $1,491,366 (the “Debt”) in exchange for an assignment of the Debt and
all security interests securing repayment of the Debt. The purchase price paid
by the Company for the Debt is $510,638.
In
addition, the Company has provided a bridge loan for working capital of $602,530
to GalaVu (the “Loan”). The definitive terms, conditions, and interest rate in
respect of such Loan shall be agreed between Cardinal and Livonia.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, Cardinal’s representative shall

of the secured debt that Livonia previously purchased from Alleasing in a
separate transaction, such that the total secured debt held by Cardinal shall
total $2,573,137 (the “Cardinal Secured Debt”). All such Cardinal Secured Debt
is and will remain secured by all the EMT’s subsidiaries’ assets. Initially a
notes receivable discount was recorded in the amount of $1,459,969 to recognize
the fair value of the Secured Debt. This discount will be reduced as the debt
is
satisfied.
Cardinal

law
and subject to approval of the shareholders of EMT, should same be necessary,
Livonia shall: (a) convert $313,778 owing to it by EMT into 42,500,000 shares
in
EMT at a conversion rate of .7383 cent per share; and (b) at a date to be agreed
between the parties, convert $571,260 owing to it by EMT into shares in EMT
at a
conversion rate of $0.0036915 per share, equating to 146,750,000 shares in
EMT.
The Parties agreed to take all acts necessary to ensure that, following both
the
Cardinal conversion and the Livonia conversion, Cardinal shall own 64% of the
outstanding shares of EMT, accounted for on a fully diluted basis. EMT has
historically traded on the Australian stock exchange under the symbol
ETC.
Livonia
and EMT agreed that should: (a) the shareholders of EMT not agree to the
conversion by Cardinal of its Cardinal Secured Debt into equity in EMT, or
(b)
EMT does not regain trading status on the Australian Stock Exchange within
one
hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the EMT Agreement, Livonia and
EMT
shall do all acts, matters or things to facilitate the transfer of the assets
constituting the security (including but not limited to the assets of GalaVu)
to
Cardinal free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, in exchange
for
Cardinals’ agreement to extinguish the Cardinal Secured Debt. Cardinal agreed
that, in the event that the GalaVu assets are transferred to Cardinal in
exchange for the Cardinal Secured Debt, Livonia shall be entitled to acquire
shares of Cardinal as follows: first, Livonia shall cause EMT to be sold;
second, the purchase price obtained by Livonia from such sale (the “Purchase
Price”) shall be paid directly to Cardinal in its entirety in exchange for
shares of Cardinal common stock. The number of shares shall be determined by
dividing the dollar amount of the Shell Purchase Price, converted to United
States dollars, by the lower of 80% of the price per share for the five (5)
trading days preceding the date of issuance, or $0.02.

following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this
Form 10-QSB, and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-Looking
Statements and Associated
Risks
This
report contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding,
among other things, (a) our growth strategies, (b) anticipated trends in our
industry, (c) our future financing plans and (d) our ability to obtain financing
and continue operations. In addition, when used in this filing, the words
"believes," "anticipates," "intends," "in anticipation of," and similar words
are intended to identify certain forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on our expectations and are subject to
a
number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Actual
results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a
result of changes in trends in the economy and our industry, reductions in
the
availability of financing and other factors. In light of these risks and
uncertainties, the forward-looking statements contained in this report may
not
occur. Except to fulfill our obligation under the United States securities
laws,
we do not undertake any obligation to publicly release the results of any

Overview
of Our Business
Cardinal
Communications, Inc is a “Developer of Connected Communities,” as such, we
design, construct, and operate diversified communication systems. The systems
include voice, video, internet, wireless, and video-on-demand services to
customers in multiple dwelling units (MDU), newly constructed housing
developments, commercial properties, and the hospitality industry. One of our
divisions builds residential and commercial properties, insuring a steady stream
of telecommunication customers. Another of our divisions concentrates on selling
“land line” services on a prepaid basis. Our growth strategy includes obtaining
as many telecommunications customers as we can. We intend to grow our customer
base through internal growth whenever possible, but we may acquire customers
by
acquiring related businesses or properties. If operational cash flow is
insufficient to fund this growth, we will attempt to raise capital throughout
the year.

Segment
Information
We
have
two reportable segments: communications services and real estate activities.
Communications services include individual, voice, video and data services
as
well as various combinations of bundled packages of these communications
services. Real estate activities include sales of residential single family
units, rental from commercial properties and fees from mortgage operations.
The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of critical accounting policies. Our business is conducted through
separate legal entities. Each entity is managed separately as each business
has
a distinct customer base and requires different strategic and marketing efforts.

Going
Concern
Our
auditor stated in its report on our financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 2005 that we have experienced recurring losses and, as a result,
there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we incurred a net loss of $2,178,542
. As of March 31, 2006, Cardinal had an accumulated deficit of $74,568,515
. We
are actively seeking customers for our services. The financial statements do
not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be
necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence. These factors raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis discusses the results of operations and financial
condition as reflected in our consolidated financial statements, which have
been
prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principals generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the
date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its
estimates and judgments, including those related to accounts receivable,
inventory valuation, amortization and recoverability of long-lived assets,
including goodwill, litigation accruals and revenue recognition. These critical
accounting policies are described in more detail under Item 6 in the section
entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April
17,
2006. Management bases its estimates and judgments on its historical experience
and other relevant factors, 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.
While
we
believe that the historical experience and other factors considered provide
a
meaningful basis for the accounting policies applied in the preparation of
our
consolidated financial statements, we cannot guarantee that our estimates and
assumptions will be accurate. If such estimates and assumptions prove to be
inaccurate, we may be required to make adjustments to these estimates in future
periods.
Results
of Operations
Three
months Ended March 31, 2006 And 2005
Revenues
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, Cardinal had revenue of $5,376,482
and $4,860,642 , respectively, an increase of $515,840 . This increase is
primarily due to recording a full quarter of Sovereign Partners, LLC revenue
in
2006 whereas we only had partial revenue for Sovereign Partners, LLC in 2005.
The Company’s 2006 revenues are derived primarily from the sale of
telecommunication services, internet access services, telecommunications-related
hardware and services, satellite-based CATV access services, residential units,
rental from commercial properties, fees from mortgage operations and
construction management services. These revenues are recognized and recorded
as
services are performed and properties are sold or rented.
Operating
Expenses
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, operating expenses were $2,888,044
and $3,261,560 , respectively, a decrease of $373,516 . We attribute this
decrease to reduced professional and consulting fees. During the three months
ended March 31, 2006, operating expenses consisted primarily of professional
and
consulting fees of $681,200 , of which $580,396 were paid in stock, salaries
and
commissions of $918,659 of which $343,548 were paid in stock, and other general
and administrative expenses of $894,183 . The general and administrative
expenses consisted of bad debt related to Get-A-Phone of $306,815 , rent expense
of $115,203 , insurance expense of $82,116 and numerous small expenses.
Net
Loss
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2006, we had a net loss of $2,178,542 or $0.006
per
share. In the comparable period of the prior year, we had a net loss of
$1,260,603 or $0.006 per share. The increase in net loss period over period
is
directly attributable to decreased revenues in our Connect Paging, Inc. d/b/a
Get A Phone subsidiary and reduced margins in our Sovereign Partners, LLC
subsidiary. We are increasing our marketing efforts at Get a Phone in an attempt
to stimulate sales and we anticipate our margins to increase at Sovereign
Partners once our Millstone at Clear Creek project begins closing sales.
Liquidity
Currently,
we believe we have sufficient working capital, cash on hand and cash to be
generated from operations, to continue current business operations indefinitely.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 our operations used $3,001,082 of
cash
and at March 31, 2006 we had cash on hand of $447,363 . As we grow we expect
operations to continually use cash since our construction projects use a large
portion of operational cash which is provided by construction lines of credit.
As construction projects are finished and sold the construction lines of credit
are satisfied and the projects provide profit and long term liquidity.
We
anticipate that any additional capital needs will be met through financing
transactions. We may also seek other sources of financing to fund operations,
although we may not be successful in such efforts. We may not be able to secure
adequate capital as necessary which would severely limit our ability to
grow.
Cash
Used in Operating Activities
During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, our operations used cash of
$3,001,082 compared
to using $1,242,919 during the same period in 2005. For both the three months
ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, the use of cash was a direct result
of
expanded construction projects. During the three months ended March 31, 2006,
$137,343 of accreted interest expense was recorded in relation to our notes
payable with beneficial conversion features; during the same period in 2005
we
incurred accreted interest expense of $186,380 .
Cash
Used in Investing Activities
During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, we engaged in a significant amount of
capital investment activity, primarily through the acquisition of business
assets from other companies including the acquisition of notes receivable,
payable by Gala Vu for $1,107,450. The total value of capital investments for
the period used $1,166,410 compared to a net cash gain for the same period
in
2005 of $957,505 .
Cash
Provided by Financing Activities
During
the three months ended March 31, 2006, financing provided cash of $3,535,738
compared to $881,777 provided during the same period in 2005. The majority
of
our increased borrowings came from convertible loan agreements with ISP V,
LLC
and Thunderbird Management Limited Partnership. The balance of our increased
borrowings came from debt collateralized by real estate and construction
lines-of-credit.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financing Activities
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, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material.
Factors
Affecting our Business and Prospects
The
most
significant risks and uncertainties associated with our business are described
below; however, they are not the only risks we face. If any of the following
risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results or
operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common
stock could decline, and an investor may lose all or part of his or her
investment.
OUR
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM EXPRESSED IN THEIR AUDIT REPORT
RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005,
SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
In
their
opinions on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004
and
2005, our independent auditor, AJ. Robbins PC expressed substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern because of our recurring losses
and
negative working capital.
WE
HAVE A
HISTORY OF SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE OR SUSTAIN PROFITABILITY.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO BECOME PROFITABLE, OUR OPERATIONS WILL BE ADVERSELY
EFFECTED.
We
have
incurred annual operating losses since our inception. As a result, at March
31,
2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $74,568,515 .
Our
gross revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, were
$5,376,482 and $4,860,642 with losses from operations of $1,608,962 and $786,619
and net losses of $2,178,542 and $1,260,603 respectively.
As
we
pursue our business plan, we expect our operating expenses to increase
significantly. We will need to generate increased revenues to become profitable.
Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will ever become or remain profitable.
If our revenues fail to grow at anticipated rates or our operating expenses
increase without a commensurate increase in our revenues, our financial
condition will be adversely affected. Our inability to become profitable on
a
quarterly or annual basis would have a materially adverse effect on our business
and financial condition. Also, the market price for our stock could fall.
WE
ARE
DEPENDENT UPON LONG-TERM FINANCING. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE CAPITAL AS WE
NEED
IT, OUR OPERATIONS COULD BE JEOPARDIZED.
Our
ability to implement our business plan and grow is dependent on raising a
significant amount of capital. We have sustained our operations in large part
from sales of our equity. We may not be able to successfully generate revenues
or raise additional funds sufficient to finance our continued operations. In
the
long-term, failure to generate sufficient revenues or obtain financing would
have a material adverse effect on our business and would jeopardize our ability
to continue our operations.
WE
HAVE
IN THE PAST AND MAY IN THE FUTURE ENGAGE IN ACQUISITIONS, WHICH WILL CAUSE
US TO
INCUR A VARIETY OF COSTS AND WHICH MAY NOT ACHIEVE ANTICIPATED OR DESIRED
RESULTS. WE MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE RESULTS WE ANTICIPATE AND DESIRE FROM OUR
ACQUISITION OF THE SOVEREIGN COMPANIES.
From
time
to time we engage in discussions with third parties concerning potential
acquisitions of businesses, products, technologies and other assets.
Acquisitions may require us to make considerable cash outlays and can entail
the
need for us to issue equity securities, incur debt and contingent liabilities,
incur amortization expenses related to intangible assets, and can result in
the
impairment of goodwill, which could harm our profitability. Acquisitions involve
a number of additional risks, including:
•
difficulties
in and costs associated with the assimilation of the operations, technologies,
personnel and products of the acquired companies,
•
assumption
of known or unknown liabilities or other unanticipated events or circumstances,
•
risks
of
entering markets in which we have limited or no experience, and
•
potential
loss of key employees.
Any
of
these risks could harm our ability to achieve profitability of acquired
operations or to realize other anticipated benefits of an acquisition.
On
February 18, 2005 we acquired Sovereign Partners, LLC which we now own and
operate as a subsidiary in the residential and planned community (real estate
and communications infrastructure) development industry. In connection with
the
acquisition, we issued common stock and newly created Series B preferred stock.
That issuance was dilutive to our shareholders. We are obligated to issue more
shares of preferred stock, which is convertible to common stock on a hundred
for
one basis, under the terms of the acquisition agreement with Sovereign. All
such
issuances will be dilutive to our shareholders. In addition, the preferred
stock
we are issuing is senior to the rights of our common stock holders upon
liquidation. If we are unable to assimilate Sovereign's management and
operations, or if we incur unforeseen liabilities, or if the operations of
Sovereign do not continue to grow or if they diminish, we will not obtain
recognizable benefits from the acquisition and our shareholders will have
suffered material dilution.
WE
HAVE
SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES TOTALING $5,670,000 DUE IN 2006,
COLLATERALIZED BY ALL OUR ASSETS. WE DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO PAY
THESE DEBENTURES IF NOT CONVERTED INTO COMMON STOCK. IF THE DEBENTURES ARE
NOT
PAID OR CONVERTED, THE DEBENTURE HOLDERS COULD FORECLOSE ON OUR ASSETS.
We
have
entered into a series of private placements totaling $5,670,000 in senior
secured debentures, convertible into common stock. If not converted, the
debentures are due in July 2006 and December 2006. The debentures bear interest
at rates from six percent (6%) to twelve percent (12%) and are collateralized
by
our assets. We do not currently have the funds to pay these debentures and
we
cannot assure you that we will have the funds to pay them on the due dates.
If
the debentures are not paid or converted, the debenture holders could foreclose
on our assets.
WE
HAVE A
NOTE PAYABLE TO EVERGREEN VENTURE PARTNERS, LLC DUE IN 2006. WE CURRENTLY DO
NOT
HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO PAY THIS NOTE WHEN DUE.
In
2005
we entered into an agreement with Evergreen Venture Partners, LLC to purchase
17,000,000 unregistered shares of our common stock for a $750,000 note payable.
The terms of the agreement call for payment of the note plus accrued interest
in
July 2006, provided however, if our common share price exceeds $0.21 per share
for 30 consecutive days, payment of the note shall be forgiven.
WE
RELY
ON LOCAL TELEPHONE COMPANIES AND OTHER COMPANIES TO PROVIDE CERTAIN
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES. A DISRUPTION OF THESE SERVICES COULD HAVE AN
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATIONS.
Our
wholly owned subsidiary, Connect Paging, Inc. d/b/a Get-A-Phone is a Texas-based
communications company operating as a local exchange carrier in areas currently
served by SBC and Verizon Southwest. We buy certain telecommunications from
SBC
and Verizon and resell these to our customers. If we were not able to buy these
services or if we experienced a disruption of these services, it would adversely
affect our ability to operate in these areas.
WE
HAVE
THE ABILITY, WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL, TO ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK AND
DESIGNATE THE RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND PRIVILEGES THAT MAY BE SENIOR TO COMMON
STOCK.
In
November 2004, we issued 10,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series A Stock") at $100.00 per share, for a total consideration of
$1,000,000. The Series A Stock is convertible into our common stock at a
conversion price ranging from $0.05 to $0.075 as calculated in accordance with
the Certificate of Designation. The Series A Stock has a liquidation preference
ahead of the common stock in the event of any dissolution or winding up of
our
Company and is entitled to any dividends that may be declared from time to
time
by the Board of Directors.
In
February 2005, we issued 35,000,000 shares of our common stock and 100,000
shares of our newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in the
acquisition of Sovereign Partners, LLC. The Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible into our common stock at a conversion rate of one hundred (100)
shares of common stock for each one (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock,
in
accordance with the Certificate of Designation. The Series B Preferred Stock
has
a liquidation preference ahead of the common stock in the event of any
dissolution or winding up of our Company and is entitled to any dividends that
may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors.
We
have a
total of 100,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. The Board of
Directors may determine, without shareholder approval, the rights, preferences
and privileges of the preferred stock. Depending on the rights, preferences
and
privileges granted when the preferred stock is issued, it may have the effect
of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control without further action
by
the shareholders, may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over
the
market price of the common stock and may adversely affect the market price
of
and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.
WE
CAN
ISSUE COMMON STOCK WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL THAT MAY CAUSE DILUTION TO
EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.
We
have
800,000,000 authorized shares of common stock that can be issued by the Board
of
Directors. At March 31, 2006, we had 142,667,477 shares of common stock
available for issue. Under most circumstances the Board of Directors has the
right to issue these shares. If all of these shares were issued, it would
substantially dilute the existing shareholders.
OUR
COMMON STOCK HAS EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT PRICE VOLATILITY IN THE PAST AND WE
EXPECT IT TO EXPERIENCE HIGH VOLATILITY IN THE FUTURE. THIS HIGH VOLATILITY
SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES THE RISK OF LOSS TO PERSONS OWNING OUR COMMON STOCK.
The
trading price for our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to
be,
highly volatile. For example, the closing bid price of our stock has fluctuated
between $0.02 and $0.35 per share since January 1, 2003. The price at which
our
common stock trades depends upon a number of factors, including our historical
and anticipated operating results and general market and economic conditions,
which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market has, from time
to
time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These broad market
fluctuations may lower the market price of our common stock. Moreover, during
periods of stock market price volatility, share prices of many
telecommunications companies have often fluctuated in a manner not necessarily
related to their operating performance. Accordingly, our common stock may be
subject to greater price volatility than the stock market as a whole.
SOVEREIGN
PARTNERS, LLC IS ROUTINELY INVOLVED IN LITIGATION MATTERS ARISING FROM ACCIDENTS
AND WARRANTY RELATED CLAIMS; ALTHOUGH WE STRIVE TO KEEP THE LITIGATION COSTS
AND
PAYMENTS IF ANY, TO A MINIMUM, AND WE MAINTAIN LIABILITY INSURANCE, WE CANNOT
BE
ASSURED THAT LITIGATION WILL NOT HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY TAKEN AS A WHOLE.
Sovereign
Partners, LLC (“Sovereign”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, performs
residential and commercial construction activities directly and through
sub-contractors. Such activities frequently give rise to warranty claims and
personal injury claims against Sovereign and other job contractors. Although
Sovereign has procedures in place to assist in the prevention of such claims,
litigation arising from accidents and warranty issues are an inevitable part
of
the business. While Sovereign maintains insurance for such claims in reasonable
amounts to protect it from losses, we cannot predict if any pending or future
claims will have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of
operations. Also, we cannot be certain that liability insurance will continue
to
be available to Sovereign on terms acceptable to Sovereign, if at all. Loss
of
Sovereign’s liability insurance could have an adverse impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.
OUR
COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES WHICH MAY BE DETRIMENTAL TO
INVESTORS.
Our
common stock has traded at a price substantially below $5.00 per share,
subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional
disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any non-NASDAQ
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject
to
certain exceptions, commonly referred to as a "penny stock." Such rules require
the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose
various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks
to
persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors.
For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's
written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also
must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and
offer quotations for the penny stock 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. Such information must be provided to the
customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade
sent to the customer. 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. The additional burdens imposed upon
broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from
effecting transactions in our common stock. These disclosure requirements may
have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.
WE
OPERATE IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE
EFFECTIVELY AGAINST ESTABLISHED COMPETITORS WITH GREATER FINANCIAL RESOURCES
AND
MORE DIVERSE STRATEGIC PLANS.
We
face
competition from many communications providers with significantly greater
financial, technical and marketing resources, longer operating histories,
well-established brand names, larger customer bases and diverse strategic plans
and technologies. Intense competition has led to declining prices and margins
for many communications services. We expect this trend to continue as
competition intensifies in the future. We expect significant competition from
traditional and new communications companies, including local, long distance,
cable modem, Internet, digital subscriber line, fixed and mobile wireless and
satellite data service providers, some of which are described in more detail
below. If these potential competitors successfully focus on our market, we
may
face intense competition which could harm our business. In addition, we may
also
face severe price competition for building access rights, which could result
in
higher sales and marketing expenses and lower profit margins.
OUR
BUSINESS IS CYCLICAL AND IS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY CHANGES IN GENERAL AND
LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
Our
Real
Estate business is cyclical and is significantly impacted by changes in national
and general economic factors outside of our control, such as short and long-term
interest rates, the availability of financing for
homebuyers,
consumer confidence, which can be substantially affected by external conditions,
including international hostilities, federal mortgage financing programs, and
federal income tax provisions. The cyclicality of our business is also highly
sensitive to changes in economic conditions that can occur on a local or
regional basis, such as changes in housing demand, population growth, employment
levels and job growth, and property taxes. Weather conditions and natural
disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, fires
and other environmental conditions can harm our homebuilding business on a
local
or regional basis. Civil unrest can also have an adverse effect on our
homebuilding business. Fluctuating lumber prices and shortages, as well as
shortages or price fluctuations in other important building materials, can
have
an adverse effect on our homebuilding business. Similarly, labor shortages
or
unrest among key trades, such as carpenters, roofers, electricians and plumbers,
can delay the delivery of our homes and increase our costs. Rebuilding efforts
underway in the gulf coast region of the United States following the destruction
caused by the two devastating hurricanes there in the summer of 2005 may cause
or exacerbate shortages of labor and/or certain materials. The difficulties
described above can cause demand and prices for our homes to diminish or cause
us to take longer and incur more costs to build our homes. We may not be able
to
recover these increased costs by raising prices because the price of each home
is usually set several months before the home is delivered, as our customers
typically sign their home purchase contracts before construction has even begun
on their homes. In addition, some of the difficulties described above could
cause some homebuyers to cancel their home purchase contracts
altogether.
THE
HOMEBUILDING INDUSTRY HAS NOT EXPERIENCED A DOWNTURN IN MANY YEARS, AND NEW
HOMES MAY BE OVERVALUED.
Although
the homebuilding business can be cyclical, it has not experienced a downturn
in
many years. Some have speculated that the prices of new homes, and the stock
prices of companies like ours that build new homes, are inflated and may decline
if the demand for new homes weakens. A decline in the prices for new homes
would
have an adverse effect on our homebuilding business. If new home prices decline,
interest rates increase or there is a downturn in the economy, some homebuyers
may cancel their home purchases because the required deposits are small and
generally refundable. If the prices for new homes begin to decline, interest
rates increase or there is a downturn in local or regional economies or the
national economy, homebuyers may have financial incentive to terminate their
existing sales contracts in order to negotiate for a lower price or to explore
other options. Such a result could have an adverse effect on our homebuilding
business and our results of operations.
OUR
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF IMPROVED LOTS AND UNDEVELOPED LAND THAT
MEET OUR LAND INVESTMENT CRITERIA.
The
availability of finished and partially developed lots and undeveloped land
for
purchase that meet our internal criteria depends on a number of factors outside
our control, including land availability in general, competition with other
homebuilders and land buyers for desirable property, inflation in land prices,
and zoning, allowable housing density and other regulatory requirements. Should
suitable lots or land become less available, the number of homes we may be
able
to build and sell could be reduced, and the cost of land could be increased,
perhaps substantially, which could adversely impact our results of
operations.
HOME
PRICES AND SALES ACTIVITY IN THE PARTICULAR MARKETS AND REGIONS IN WHICH WE
DO
BUSINESS IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BECAUSE OUR BUSINESS IS CONCENTRATED
IN THESE MARKETS.
Home
prices and sales activity in some of our key markets have declined from time
to
time for market-specific reasons, including adverse weather or economic
contraction due to, among other things, the failure or decline of key industries
and employers. If home prices or sales activity decline in one or more of the
key markets in which we operate, our costs may not decline at all or at the
same
rate and, as a result, our overall results of operations may be adversely
impacted.
INTEREST
RATE INCREASES OR CHANGES IN FEDERAL LENDING PROGRAMS COULD LOWER DEMAND FOR
OUR
HOMES.
Nearly
all of our customers finance the purchase of their homes, and a significant
number of these customers arrange their financing through our subsidiary
Lighthouse Lending, LLC. Increases in interest rates or decreases in
availability
of mortgage financing would increase monthly mortgage costs for our potential
homebuyers and could therefore reduce demand for our homes and mortgages.
Increased interest rates can also hinder our ability to realize our backlog
because our sales contracts provide our customers with a financing contingency.
Financing contingencies allow customers to cancel their home purchase contracts
in the event they cannot arrange for financing at interest rates that were
prevailing when they signed their contracts. Because the availability of Fannie
Mae, FHLMC, FHA and VA mortgage financing is an important factor in marketing
many of our homes, any limitations or restrictions on the availability of those
types of financing could reduce our home sales.
WE
ARE
SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF LAND, THE HOMEBUILDING PROCESS AND PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT,
WHICH CAN CAUSE US TO SUFFER DELAYS AND INCUR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLIANCE
AND WHICH CAN PROHIBIT OR RESTRICT HOMEBUILDING ACTIVITY IN SOME REGIONS OR
AREAS.
Our
homebuilding business is heavily regulated and subject to increasing local,
state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning,
resource protection, other environmental impacts, building design, construction
and similar matters. These regulations often provide broad discretion to
governmental authorities that regulate these matters, which can result in
unanticipated delays or increases in the cost of a specified project or a number
of projects in particular markets. We may also experience periodic delays in
homebuilding projects due to building moratoria in any of the areas in which
we
operate. We are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes,
ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the environment. These laws and
regulations may cause delays in construction and delivery of new homes, causing
us to incur substantial compliance and other costs, and can prohibit or severely
restrict homebuilding activity in certain environmentally sensitive regions
or
areas. In addition, environmental laws may impose liability for the costs of
removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances whether or not the
developer or owner of the property knew of, or was responsible for, the presence
of those substances. The presence of those substances on our properties may
prevent us from selling our homes and we may also be liable, under applicable
laws and regulations or lawsuits brought by private parties, for hazardous
or
toxic substances on properties and lots that we have sold in the past. The
mortgage brokering operations of Lighthouse Lending, LLC are heavily regulated
and subject to the rules and regulations promulgated by a number of governmental
and quasi-governmental agencies. There are a number of federal and state
statutes and regulations which, among other things, prohibit discrimination,
establish underwriting guidelines which include obtaining inspections and
appraisals, require credit reports on prospective borrowers and fix maximum
loan
amounts. A finding that we materially violated any of the foregoing laws could
have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
WE
BUILD
HOMES IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKETS, WHICH COULD HURT OUR FUTURE OPERATING
RESULTS.
We
compete in each of our markets with a number of homebuilding companies for
homebuyers, land, financing, raw materials and skilled management and labor
resources. Our competitors include large national homebuilders, as well as
other
smaller regional and local builders that can have an advantage in local markets
because of long-standing relationships they may have with local labor or land
sellers. We also compete with other housing alternatives, such as existing
homes
and rental housing. These competitive conditions can make it difficult for
us to
acquire desirable land which meets our land buying criteria, cause us to offer
or to increase our sales incentives or price discounts, and result in reduced
sales. Any of these competitive conditions can adversely impact our revenues,
increase our costs and/or impede the growth of our local or regional
homebuilding businesses.
CHANGING
MARKET CONDITIONS MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO SELL HOMES AT EXPECTED
PRICES.
There
is
often a significant amount of time between when we initially acquire land and
when we can make homes on that land available for sale. The market value of
a
proposed home can vary significantly during this time due to changing market
conditions. In the past, we have benefited from increases in the value of homes
over time, but if market conditions were to reverse, we may need to sell homes
at lower prices than we anticipate. We may also need to take write-downs of
our
home inventories and land holdings if market values decline.
BECAUSE
OF THE SEASONAL NATURE OF OUR REAL ESTATE BUSINESS, OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING
RESULTS FLUCTUATE.
We
have
experienced seasonal fluctuations in quarterly operating results. We typically
do not commence significant construction on a home before a sales contract
has
been signed with a homebuyer. A significant percentage of our sales contracts
are made during the spring and summer months. Construction of our homes
typically requires approximately four months and weather delays that often
occur
during late winter and early spring may extend this period. As a result of
these
combined factors, we historically have experienced uneven quarterly results,
with lower revenues and operating income generally during the first and second
quarters of our fiscal year.
OUR
LEVERAGE MAY PLACE BURDENS ON OUR ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF OUR
INDEBTEDNESS, MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AND MAY PREVENT US FROM
FULFILLING OUR OBLIGATIONS.
The
amount of our debt could have important consequences. For example: it could
limit our ability to obtain future financing for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements or other requirements;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations
to
the payment of our debt and reduce our ability to use our cash flow for other
purposes; impact our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in
our
business; place us at a competitive disadvantage because we have more debt
than
some of our competitors; and make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn
in our business or in general economic conditions. Our ability to meet our
debt
service and other obligations will depend upon our future performance. We are
engaged in businesses that are substantially affected by changes in economic
cycles. Our revenues and earnings vary with the level of general economic
activity in the markets we serve. Our businesses could also be affected by
financial, political, business and other factors, many of which are beyond
our
control. The factors that affect our ability to generate cash can also affect
our ability to raise additional funds through the sale of debt and/or equity
securities, the refinancing of debt or the sale of assets. Changes in prevailing
interest rates may also affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations,
because borrowings under our bank credit facilities bear interest at floating
rates. A higher interest rate on our debt could adversely affect our operating
results. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations
and
borrowings may not be available to us under our bank credit facilities in an
amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt service obligations or to fund
our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our
debt
on or before maturity, which we may not be able to do on favorable terms or
at
all. The indentures governing our outstanding debt instruments and our bank
credit facilities include various financial covenants and restrictions,
including restrictions on debt incurrence, sales of assets and cash
distributions by us. Should we not comply with any of those restrictions or
covenants, the holders of those debt instruments or the banks, as appropriate,
could cause our debt to become due and payable prior to maturity.
WE
MAY
HAVE DIFFICULTY IN CONTINUING TO OBTAIN THE ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIRED TO
OPERATE AND DEVELOP OUR BUSINESS.
Our
construction operations require significant amounts of cash and/or available
credit. It is not possible to predict the future terms or availability of
additional capital. Our bank credit facilities limit our ability to borrow
additional funds by placing a maximum cap on our leverage ratio. If conditions
in the capital markets change significantly, it could reduce our sales and
may
hinder our future growth and results of operations.
OUR
FUTURE GROWTH MAY BE LIMITED BY CONTRACTING ECONOMIES IN THE MARKETS IN WHICH
WE
CURRENTLY OPERATE, AS WELL AS OUR INABILITY TO ENTER MARKETS.
Our
future growth and results of operations could be adversely affected if the
markets in which we currently operate do not continue to support the expansion
of our existing business or if we are unable to identify new markets for entry.
Our inability to grow organically in existing markets or to expand into new
markets would limit our ability to achieve our growth objectives and would
adversely impact our future operating results.
REGULATION
OF THE INTERNET.
Due
to
the increasing popularity and use of the Internet by broad segments of the
population, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted with respect
to the Internet pertaining to content of Web sites, privacy, pricing, encryption
standards, consumer protection, electronic commerce, taxation, and copyright
infringement and other intellectual property issues. No one is able to predict
the effect, if any, that any future regulatory changes or developments may
have
on the demand for our Internet access or other Internet-related services.
Changes in the regulatory environment relating to the Internet access industry,
including the enactment of laws or promulgation of regulations that directly
or
indirectly affect the costs of telecommunications access or that increase the
likelihood or scope of competition from national or regional telephone
companies, could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results
and financial condition.

Sovereign
Companies, LLC (“Sovereign”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is
involved in litigation surrounding a condominium development project in Greeley,
Colorado known as Mountain View at T-Bone. In October 2005, Sovereign, Mountain
View at T-Bone, LLC (“Mountain View”), and Mr. Edouard A. Garneau filed a
declaratory relief action against certain members of Mountain View seeking
a
determination of the various rights and obligations of the members. The action
is styled Sovereign Companies, LLC et al. v. Yale King et al., Case No.
05-CV-649 and is pending in Larimer County District Court in Colorado. The
declaratory relief action seeks to clarify the roles and responsibilities of
certain members and the operational authority of individual managers of Mountain
View and asserts claims against certain of its members. Mr. Garneau is a member
of the Company’s Board of Directors and indirectly owns and controls shares of
the Company’s common and preferred stock.
In
a
related action, Sovereign and Mr. Garneau, in his capacity as Manager of
Sovereign and Mountain View, were named in a lawsuit brought by several
individual members of Mountain View, claiming unspecified damages for breach
of
contract by Sovereign and Mr. Garneau, and for other causes of action against
Mr. Garneau individually. That case is styled Yale King et al. v. Sovereign
Companies, LLC et al., Case No. 2005-CV-1008 and was filed in June 2005 in
Weld
County District Court in Colorado. This action was subsequently dismissed for
improper venue and transferred to Denver County District Court. Both related
cases have been stayed pending a determination as to where the two cases should
proceed. Sovereign disputes the allegations of the other Mountain View members
and intends to vigorously defend the action. However, the Company cannot control
the outcome and extent of the losses, if any, that may be incurred. Mr. Garneau
is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and indirectly owns and controls
shares of the Company’s common and preferred stock.

The
action was filed on March 17, 2006 and alleges breach of an agreement for the
purchase of real property and seeks specific performance of the alleged contract
and, alternatively, an unspecified claim for damages. On March 22, 2006, the
Gunnison County District Court entered an order enjoining the sale of the
property to any third party. CRKOA disputes the allegations and intends to
vigorously defend the action. The parties are currently engaged in settlement
negotiations. However, the Company cannot control the outcome and extent of
the
losses, if any, that may be incurred.
Sovereign
Companies, LLC and Sovereign Developments, LLC, (collectively “Sovereign”),
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, have been sued by Jech Excavating,
Inc. in a case styled Jech Excavating, Inc. v. Riverplace Condominiums, LLC
et
al., Case No. 55-CV-06-2-28 pending in Olmstead County District Court in
Minnesota. The action was filed on February 22, 2006 and alleges breach of
contract under a promissory note relating to the performance of excavating
work
at the Riverplace development. The action also asserts a claim against Mr.
Garneau individually. The Plaintiff is seeking damages of $664,000 together
with
interest and attorney’s fees. The parties reached a settlement whereby Sovereign
paid Jech Excavating $638,000 in settlement of the claims which funds were
derived from the sale of the Riverplace property. The parties are in the process
of finalizing the settlement and dismissal papers.
Sovereign
Homes, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has been sued by third-party
plaintiff, Jech Excavating, Inc. in a case styled Falcon Drilling &
Blasting, Inc. v. Jech Excavating, Inc. et al., Case No. 55-C4-05-005151,
pending in Olmstead County District Court in Minnesota. The third-party
complaint against Sovereign Homes was filed on March 9, 2006 and seeks
enforcement of a mechanics lien, alleges breach of contract, and asserts other
claims relating to the performance of excavating work at the Rocky Creek
development. The Plaintiff is seeking damages of $263,000 together with interest
and attorney’s fees. The parties are currently engaging in settlement
negotiations. Sovereign Homes intends to vigorously defend the action. However,
Sovereign Homes cannot control the outcome and extent of the losses, if any,
that may be incurred.
The
Company is a defendant in a proceeding styled Jantaq, Inc. v. Cardinal
Communications, Inc., Case No. BC350688, filed in the Los Angeles County
Superior Court on April 13, 2006. The complaint alleges breach of contract
and
