NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and
Formation
Flint
Telecom Group, Inc. (formerly named Semotus Solutions, Inc.) (“Flint” or the
“Company”), is a Nevada Corporation. Flint was originally formed in
2005 as Flint Telecom, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and started operations in
April 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Flint Telecom Limited, headquartered
in Dublin, Ireland. Flint Telecom Limited is a holding company whose sole
operating business in the United States was Flint Telecom, Inc. Flint Telecom
Limited was a vehicle for the initial funding of Flint and for the development
of the proprietary intellectual property (“IP”). The IP had been licensed to
Flint for a nominal fee of $1.00 per year and was subsequently sold to Flint on
October 1, 2008.
On
October 1, 2008, Semotus Solutions, Inc. (“Semotus”) acquired substantially all
of the assets and liabilities of Flint in exchange for 28,460,094 shares of
restricted common stock pursuant to a definitive Contribution Agreement dated
April 23, 2008. Although Semotus is the legal acquirer, for accounting purposes
Flint is considered the accounting acquirer in a reverse merger. The name was
changed to Flint Telecom Group, Inc. The existing Semotus operations became a
division of Flint Telecom Group, Inc. On December 12, 2008, Flint Telecom, Inc.,
which had changed its name to FTG Holdings, Inc., merged with and into Flint
Telecom Group, Inc. so that Flint Telecom Group, Inc. is the surviving
corporation.
Flint
provides next generation turnkey voice, data and wireless services through
partner channels primarily in the United States. Flint offers a wholesale
call platform for aggregating call traffic at cost competitive rates to other
Carriers and distributes telecommunications services and products through its
distribution channels. Flint is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida
and operates nationwide as well as internationally.
The
Semotus business division is a leading provider of enterprise application
software connecting individuals wirelessly to critical business systems, urgent
information and key processes. Semotus helps mobile employees make better and
faster decisions, increases customer satisfaction, and improves efficiencies in
business processes for shorter sales and service cycles. The wireless software
products and professional services are all included in the HipLink family of
software, which provide immediate mobile access and control of business-critical
software applications, databases, networks and servers.
2.
Basis of Presentation and Future Prospects
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
us, without audit and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Regulation S-K. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (including
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31,
2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending June 30, 2009. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the
disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in our SEC Form 8-K/A filed on December 23, 2008.
These
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the
accompanying financial statements, Flint had a net loss of $8,548,598 and
$9,694,544 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, respectively,
negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,228,501 for the six months
ended December 31, 2008, an accumulated stockholder’s deficit of $7,224,959 and
a working capital deficit of $8,369,226 as of December 31, 2008. Also, as of
December 31, 2008, the Company had limited liquid and capital resources. The
Company is currently largely dependent upon obtaining sufficient short and long
term financing in order to continue running its operations.
The
foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about Flint’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Ultimately, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon its ability to attract new sources of capital, exploit the
growing telecom services market in
order to
attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiency and achieve profitable
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
3. Acquisition
of Semotus Solutions, Inc.
In the
quarter ended December 31, 2008, we acquired Semotus Solutions, Inc. (“Semotus”)
through a reverse merger; Semotus issued to Flint Telecom, Inc. 28,460,094
shares of restricted common stock pursuant to a definitive Contribution
Agreement dated April 23, 2008 by and among Semotu s,
Flint and Flint Telecom Limited (the “Contribution Agreement”). Through
the acquisition of Semotus, we acquired $492,796 in fair value of assets,
$584,680 in liabilities and recorded $2,538,148, in
goodwill. Separate from the Contribution Agreement, as a hiring and
retention incentive and in lieu of issuing stock options under the Company’s
stock option plan, we issued 8,410,000 shares of restricted common stock,
vesting over a period of four years, to executive officers and key employees,
and 3,508,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. LaPine. These shares of
restricted common stock were valued at $8,938,500. We recorded
approximately $3,025,219 in expense in the three and six months ended December
31, 2008, related to the shares of restricted common stock granted to these
executive officers, directors and key employees.
The
following are condensed pro forma financial information as though the reverse
merger with Semotus had occurred as of the beginning of the six months ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007.

4. Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Statement
No. 157
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued
Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”); SFAS 157 establishes
a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines
and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other
authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the
guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level of
disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157
applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements,
it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it
establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 applies to all other
accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements,
except for; SFAS 123R, share-based payment and related pronouncements, the
practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other
authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9
that deal with software revenue recognition. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not
believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material affect on our
financial statements.
Statement
No. 159
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this
Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value
at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or
another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings)
at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the
beginning of an entity’s
first
fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not believe that the
adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material affect on our financial
statements.
Statement
No. 141R
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”),
which revises current purchase accounting guidance in SFAS No. 141,
“Business Combination s ”. SFAS No. 141R
requires most assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination
to be measured at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. SFAS
No. 141R also modifies the initial measurement and subsequent remeasurement
of contingent consideration and acquired contingencies, and requires that
acquisition related costs be recognized as expense as incurred rather than
capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition. SFAS No. 141R is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be
applied prospectively to business combinations occurring after adoption. The
impact of SFAS No. 141R on the Company’s consolidated financial statements
will depend on the nature and extent of the Company’s future acquisition
activities.
Statement
No. 160
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB No. 51”. This Statement
amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity
in the consolidated financial statements.
This
Statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented. It
requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the
amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also
requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 160 will
have a material affect on our financial statements.
Interpretation
No. 48
Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes (“FIN 48”)” is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006. FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or
expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial
statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit
that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim
periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company is evaluating the
effects of FIN 48 for the 2008 fiscal year, but it does not believe that it has
a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
Management
does not believe that there are any other recently-issued accounting
pronouncements, but not yet effective accounting standards, which could have a
material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
5. Accounts
Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
Two
customers accounted for 42% and 43% of the Company’s revenue, respectively, for
the three months ended December 31, 2008. Two customers accounted for 43% and
44% of the Company’s revenue, respectively, for the six months ended December
31, 2008. Seven customers accounted for 73% of the accounts
receivable at December 31, 2008, the largest of which accounted for 25% of the
receivables. Two customers accounted for 64% and 23% of the Company’s revenue,
respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Two customers
accounted for 54% and 34% of the Company’s revenue, respectively, for the six
months ended December 31, 2007.
6. Accounts
Payable
Accounts
payable at December 31, 2008 were $1,539,395. Seven vendors accounted for 62% of
the payables at December 31, 2008, the largest of which accounted for 20% of the
payables.
Although
the company believes that it has adequate alternative vendors to purchase
services and products, there can be no assurance of comparability, which could
have a detrimental affect on the business. Further, when the vendor provides
services for direct access to and call routing for residential or business
customers, a reduction in or elimination of that vendor service will probably
have a detrimental affect on that portion of Flint’s business.
7. Property,
Plant and Equipment

8. Promissory
and Convertible Notes
From June
30, 2007 to December 31, 2008, Flint has issued $2,707,000 principal amount of
Promissory notes with Warrants, $3,661,646 principal amount of U.S. Dollar
Convertible Promissory Notes and €1,475,000 principal amount of Euro Convertible
Promissory Notes. Substantially all of the proceeds have been used for the
expansion of Flint’s business, including capital expenditures and working
capital.
U.S.
Dollar Convertible Promissory Notes
The U.S.
Dollar Convertible Promissory Notes were issued from December 2007 to June 30,
2008 to approximately 50 different individuals and entities with an interest
rate of 12% and maturities ranging from six months to one year. The Notes are
convertible after the Flint common stock has been listed on the OTC Bulletin
Board or has otherwise been publicly trading for twenty trading days. The
conversion price for $910,146 of the Notes is based upon a formula which is the
lower of (i) the expected market capitalization divided by the number of shares
outstanding and (ii) a price per share derived by a percentage multiplied by the
average daily closing price of the common stock in the first 20 days of trading,
provided however that if the estimated market capitalization is actually below
$10 million at the calculation date, then the $10 million number will be used in
the calculation. $2,726,500 of the Notes have a conversion price of $0.275 per
share.
As of
December 31, 2008, a total of $793,472 in principal and interest was converted
by the U.S. Dollar Convertible Promissory Notes into a total of 2,885,356 shares
of restricted common stock. As of February 13, 2009, a total of
approximately $1,980,097 in principal and accrued interest was converted by the
U.S. Dollar Convertible Promissory Notes into a total of 7,439,680 shares. A
holder of one Note in the amount of $122,895 in principal and accrued interest
that was not converted executed a six month extension to June 30, 2009. The
remaining $1,918,855 was due back to the Note holders as of December 31, 2008,
which to date has not yet been repaid; however, management is currently working
on executing extensions with all of the remaining Note holders and we believe
that all of the remaining Note holders will either sign extensions or convert
the Notes without issuing default notices to us. Upon default, we are required
to pay interest in cash to the Note holder, payable on demand, on the
outstanding principal balance of the Note from the date of the default until the
default is cured at the rate of the lesser of thirty percent (30%) per annum and
the maximum applicable legal rate per annum. Upon default, the Note holders may
at any time at their option declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the
Note, together with all interest accrued hereon, immediately due and
payable.
Euro
Convertible Promissory Notes
The Euro
Convertible Promissory Notes have been issued to one individual, Mr. Michael
Butler, in two tranches each with an interest rate of 15%. The maturity is
approximately 16 and 17 months based upon the tranche issued. Likewise, the
Notes are convertible after the Flint common stock has been listed on the OTC
Bulletin Board or has otherwise been publicly trading for twenty trading days or
ninety trading days depending on the tranche issued. Finally, the conversion
price for €1,175,000 of the Notes is based upon a formula which is the lower of
(i) the expected market capitalization divided by the number of shares
outstanding and (ii) a price per share derived by a percentage multiplied by the
average daily closing price of the common stock in the first 90 days of trading,
provided however that if the estimated market capitalization is actually below
$10 million at the calculation date, then the $10 million number will be used in
the calculation. €300,000 of the Notes have a conversion price of $0.25 per
share.
We
incurred $168,492 of debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes and
have amortized $162,982 of the costs through December 31, 2008. As of December
31, 2008, $742,250 of these Convertible Notes has been converted. As of October
29, 2008,, there was a beneficial conversion feature calculated for $3,462,008
of the convertible notes. These notes were analyzed after our common stock
traded for twenty trading days. The equity feature of $1,635,647 of these notes
still has not been valued since these notes require a 90 trading day period.
$434,502 of the beneficial conversion feature has been expensed at December 31,
2008.

During
the three months ended September 30, 2008, Flint issued $1,502,500 of Promissory

The
warrant component of the promissory notes was valued at $1,132,869, The value

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2008, as part of the reverse merger with Semotus,
we assumed Semotus’ 1996 and 2005 Stock Option Plans, as described in Semotus’
SEC Form 10K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
We
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised
2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring us to recognize expense related to the
fair value of its employee stock option awards. We recognize the cost of all
share-based awards on a straight line vesting basis over the vesting period of
the award. Total stock compensation expense recognized by us during the three
and six months ended December 31, 2008 was $3,045,249.
We have
estimated the fair value of our option awards granted on or after October 1,
2008 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions
noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical
volatility of our stock. We use actual data to estimate option exercises,
forfeitures and cancellations within the valuation model. The expected term of
options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected
to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of
the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.

The
aggregate intrinsic value of options as of December 31, 2008 was zero, and is
calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying
options and the market price of our common stock for the shares that had
exercise prices that were lower than the $0.15 market price of our common stock
at December 31, 2008, of which there were none.
No
options were exercised during the three months ended December 31,
2008.
As a
hiring and retention incentive and in lieu of issuing stock options under the
Company’s stock option plan, we issued 8,410,000 shares of restricted common
stock, vesting over a period of four years, to executive officers and key
employees. These shares of restricted common stock have a total value of
$6,307,500; this value was calculated based upon the closing market price of our
common stock on the date of grant, October 1, 2008, which was $0.75 per
share. We recorded approximately $3,045,249 in expense for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2008, related to the 8,410,000 shares of
restricted common stock granted to these employees. We also amended
Mr. LaPine’s employment agreement and issued to him 3,508,000 shares of
restricted common stock, having a total value of $2,631,000; this value was
calculated based upon the closing market price of our common stock on the date
of grant, October 1, 2008, which was $0.75 per share. We recorded $2,631,000 in
expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, related to the
3,508,000 shares of restricted common stock issued to Mr. LaPine.
10. Exchange
Gains and Losses
Flint
maintains certain bank accounts denominated in euros and has issued and
outstanding €1,475,000 Convertible Notes. The reporting currency of Flint is the
U.S. Dollar so that transactions and balances are translated into dollars. Flint
recorded a $23,689 and $269,572 loss on translation for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2008, respectively. There were no translation gains or losses
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007.
11. Common
Stockholder’s Equity
Under the
Company’s Articles of Incorporation in July 2005, the Company was authorized to
issue 3,000 shares of common stock. Effective October 1, 2008, as a result of the closing of the acquisition
transaction by and among Flint and Semotus, and as approved by our s tock holders, we
filed an amendment to our articles of incorporation increasing our total
authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000. As of December 31, 2008,
46,254,432 shares were issued and outstanding. There are no
special voting or economic rights or privileges.
12. Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (EPS), we report Basic and
Diluted EPS as follows: Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) divided by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable
through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities. Common
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if
their effect is anti-dilutive.
Since we
incurred a net loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008,
24,262,188 potential shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate
diluted EPS as their effect is anti-dilutive . Since we incurred a net
loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007, 1,993,500 potential
shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted EPS as their
effect is anti-dilutive.
We
reported a net loss of $14,461,879_and $15,607,826 for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2008, respectively. We reported a net loss of
$526,113 and $1,072,860 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007,
respectively.

U.S.
Dollar Convertible Promissory Note Conversions and Extensions
From

principal and accrued interest was converted by the U.S. Dollar Convertible
Promissory Notes into a total of 4,554,324 shares. A holder of one Note in the

remaining $1,918,855 was due back to the Note holders as of December 31, 2008,

may at any time at their option declare the entire unpaid principal balance of
the Note, together with all interest accrued hereon, immediately due and
payable.
