NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and
Formation
Flint
Telecom Group, Inc. (formerly named Semotus Solutions, Inc.) (“Flint”, “We” or
the “Company”), is a Nevada Corporation. We were 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”).
On
October 1, 2008, Semotus Solutions, Inc. (“Semotus”) acquired substantially all
of the assets and liabilities of Flint Telecom, Inc. 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 the accounting acquirer. The name was
changed to Flint Telecom Group, Inc. The existing Semotus operations
became a division of Flint, and were subsequently sold in January
2009.
We
provide next generation turnkey voice, data and wireless services through
partner channels primarily in the United States. We offer a wholesale call
platform for aggregating call traffic at cost competitive rates to other
Carriers and distribute telecommunications services and products through our
distribution channels. We are headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida
and operate in the United States.
On
January 29, 2009, we acquired six U.S.
operating subsidiaries of China Voice Holding Corp. (“CHVC”), namely: CVC Int’l
Inc., Cable and Voice Corporation, StarCom Alliance Inc, Dial-Tone Communication
Inc, Phone House of Florida, Inc., and Phone House, Inc. (of California) (the
“Acquisition Companies”), in exchange for 21,000,000 shares of our restricted
common stock and $500,000 in cash at Closing and $1,000,000 in deferred
payments.
The
Acquisition Companies provide the following telecom services and / or distribute
the following telecom products:
-
CVC Int’l,
Inc. was established in January 2007, and
is a provider of wholesale VoIP telecommunications services located in
South Florida.
-
Cable
and Voice Corporation was established on June 1, 2008, and is a master
distributor of advanced broadband products and services located in Tampa,
Florida.
-
StarCom
Alliance, Inc. was established in January 2008, and is a master
distributor of prepaid cellular products and
services.
- Phone
House Inc. of Florida was established on March 6, 2008. Phone House,
Inc. of California was established on June 12, 2001. Dial-Tone Communication
Inc. was established on July 19, 2007. Each provides discount calling
cards that enable users who purchase cards in the United States to call
internationally.
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
nine months ended March 31, 2009 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 Forms
8-K/A filed on December 23, 2008 and on March 31, 2009.
These
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the
normal course of our business. As reflected in the accompanying
financial statements, Flint had a net loss of $1,246,295 and $10,940,839 for the
three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively, negative cash flow
from operating activities of $3,387,428 for the nine months ended March 31,
2009, an accumulated stockholder’s deficit of $5,818,074 and a working capital
deficit of $7,908,813 as of March 31, 2009. Also, as of March 31,
2009, we had limited liquid and capital resources. We are 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 our ability to continue as a
going concern. Ultimately, our 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 we are
unable to continue as a going concern.
We have
secured indicative funding commitments from investors for additional capital,
which management believes is sufficient to fund our cash flow
needs.
3. Acquisition
of the CHVC Acquisition Companies
On
January 29, 2009, we acquired six U.S. operating subsidiaries of China Voice
Holding Corp. (“CHVC”), namely: CVC Int’l Inc., Cable and Voice Corporation,
StarCom Alliance Inc, Dial-Tone Communication Inc, Phone House of Florida, Inc.,
and Phone House, Inc. (of California) (the “Acquisition Companies”), in exchange
for 21,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock and $500,000 in cash at
Closing and $1,000,000 in deferred payments.
As part
of the closing of the transaction and in addition
to the issuance of the commo n stock and
cash paid as noted above , we also acquired 15,000,000 shares of
restricted common stock of CHVC in exchange for deferred payments totaling
$1,500,000.
Additionally, we issued a Promissory Note to CHVC
dated January 29, 2009, in an amount of $7,000,000 , pursuant to which we are obligated to
make payments as follows: $2,333,333.33 on or before December 31, 2009;
$2,333,333.33 on or before July 31, 2010, and $2,333,333.34, plus any remaining
balance due on the Note on or before December 31, 2010 ( the “ Note” ). The
Note shall not bear any interest pre-default. The Note will bear
interest at eighteen percent (18%) per year for any period of time when a
payment is past due. 15,000,000 shares of CHVC
restricted common stock are attached to the Note as collateral, pursuant to a Security
Agreement . The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase
Agreement, Note and Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Note and Security
Agreement, a copy of which are filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form
8-K that we filed on February 4, 2009.
On April
25, 2009 the Merger Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement were amended, to,
among other things, extend the payment schedules to CHVC as described
above. Please see Note 22: Subsequent Events, for more detailed
information on these amendments.
Separate
from the Merger Agreement, as a hiring and retention incentive and in lieu of
issuing stock options under the Company’s stock option plan, during the three
months ended March 31, 2009 we issued 6,500,000 shares of restricted common
stock, vesting over a period of four years, to executive officers and key
employees, and 255,000 shares of restricted common stock that were immediately
vested to other key employees. These shares of restricted common
stock were valued at various prices between $0.15 and $0.38. We
recorded approximately $167,519 in expense in the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2009, related to the shares of restricted common stock granted to
these executive officers and key employees.
The
following are condensed pro forma financial information as though the
acquisition of the CHVC Acquisition Companies had occurred as of the beginning
of the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. In association with the
acquisition of CHVC subsidiaries, we recorded the purchase price in excess of
the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date as goodwill. The
goodwill was recorded on January 29, 2009, the closing date of the CHVC
subsidiaries acquisition in the amount of $8,554,248.

4. Acquisition
and Subsequent Disposition of Semotus Solutions, Inc.
During
the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we acquired Semotus Solutions, Inc.
(“Semotus”) through a reverse merger and disposed of the Semotus software
business on January 28, 2009. Semotus issued. 28,460,094 shares of
restricted common stock to Flint Telecom, Inc. pursuant to a definitive
Contribution Agreement dated April 23, 2008
(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 $257,813 and $3,283,031
in expense in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, 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 nine months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Semotus
Business Disposition:
On
January 29, 2009, we sold all of the assets and liabilities of the ‘Semotus
Business’ or ‘Solutions Division’ to Mr. Anthony LaPine for 3,508,000 shares of
our restricted common stock owned by Mr. LaPine. Mr. LaPine exercised his right
to purchase the Semotus Business/Solutions Division from Flint, in accordance
with Section 8.2(f) of the Contribution Agreement by and among Semotus
Solutions, Inc. (now named Flint Telecom Group, Inc., and referred to as
“Flint”) and Flint Telecom, Inc. dated April 23, 2008, in exchange for 3,508,000
shares of our restricted common stock owned by Mr. LaPine. This
transaction was further clarified and consummated by the Agreement and Plan of
Corporate Separation and Reorganization by and among Flint and Semotus, Inc.
executed as of January 29, 2009, pursuant to which we transferred all of the
assets and properties, subject to all the liabilities, debts, obligations and
contracts, of the Solutions Division to Semotus, Inc. in exchange for Mr.
LaPine’s 3,508,000 shares of our restricted common stock. The “Semotus
Business”, as set forth in Section 7.18 of the Contribution Agreement, is
defined as the operations of Semotus as conducted immediately prior to the
acquisition transaction of Flint Telecom, Inc. that closed on October 1, 2008,
and does not reflect the business operations of Flint Telecom, Inc. acquired in
connection with that transaction.
The financial impact of this
transaction is as a gain of
$1,639,767.
5. Discontinued
Operations
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, as part of our restructuring and
consolidation efforts after the CHVC acquisition transaction closed, we
discontinued our VOIP telecom division based in New York City,
and are moving to an outsourced solution for our Partners. As a result of
this discontinuation, we recorded $(870,749) in discontinued operations, net of
tax for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2009
6. 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 have adopted SFAS
157 and we believe that it has no material impact on the 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 have adopted SFAS 159 and we
believe that it has no material impact on the 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 our 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, we 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. We
have adopted FIN 48 and we believe that it has no material impact on the
Financial Statements.
FSP No.
EITF 99-20-1
In
January 2009, FASB released final FSP No. EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20 . According to FASB, the FSP amends the
impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and
Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That
Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve
more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment
(OTTI) has occurred. The FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively.
Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not
permitted. We have adopted FSP No. EITF 99-20-1 and we believe that
it has no material impact on the Financial Statements.
FSP No.
FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1
On April
9, 2009 the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair
Values of Financial Instruments , which amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of
Financial Instruments, and requires that companies also disclose the fair value
of financial instruments during interim reporting similar to those that are
currently provided annually. FSP No.FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for
interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and it will have no impact
on our statement of financial position or results of operations.
Management
does not believe that there are any other recently-issued, but not yet
effective, accounting standards that could have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
7. Private
Placements
In order
to finance the CHVC acquisition, we entered into a Common Stock and Warrant
Purchase Agreement with Redquartz Atlanta, LLC (“Redquartz”), in which we sold
5,454,545 shares restricted common stock at $0.275 per share and issued
3,750,000 warrants to purchase shares common stock at $0.40 per share, having a
three year term and a cashless exercise provision, in exchange for
$1,500,000. As of March 31, 2009, this investment was only partially
closed, with Redquartz having invested $500,000 of the $1,500,000 total that was
agreed upon.
Additionally, on January 29, 2009, we
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an individual investor, in which we
sold 1,454,545 shares of restricted common stock at $0.275 per share in exchange
for $400,000. The foregoing description of the common stock and
warrant purchases are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text
of the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Certificate and
the Stock Purchase Agreement, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the Form
8-K that we filed on February 4, 2009.
On March
1, 2009, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an individual investor,
in which we sold 100,000 shares of restricted common stock at $0.20 per share in
exchange for $20,000.
8.
Investment in Marketable Securities
We
acquired 15,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of CHVC in exchange for
deferred payments totaling $1,500,000 and a Promissory Note to CHVC dated
January 29, 2009, in an amount of $7,000,000
We
classify these securities as investments in marketable securities available for
sale. These securities are stated at their fair value in accordance with SFAS
No. 115 “ Accounting for Cert ain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities ”, and EITF 00-8 “ Accounting by a Grantee for an
Equity Instrument to be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or
Services ”. Unrealized gains or losses in investments in marketable
securities available for sale are recognized as an element of other
comprehensive income on a monthly basis based on fluctuations in the fair value
of the security as quoted on an exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system.
Realized gains or losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of
operations when the securities are liquidated.
To date,
the securities received from CHVC are quoted on the Pink Sheets. The securities
are restricted as to resale. As the securities are restricted, we are
unable to liquidate these securities until the restriction is removed.
Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale are
recognized as an element of comprehensive income on a monthly basis based on
changes in the fair value of the
security
as quoted on an exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system. Once
liquidated, realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities
available for sale are reflected in our net income for the period in which the
security was liquidated.
Marketable
securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their
value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the
magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the
decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The
term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is
permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are
not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair
values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment.
The unrealized loss on marketable securities available for sale, net of
the effect of taxes, for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2009
was $5,800,000. Management
will continue to monitor the underlying value of this
investment.
9. Accounts
Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
Two
customers accounted for 39% and 18% of our revenue, respectively, for the three
months ended March 31, 2009. Four customers accounted for 25%, 14%, 14% and 12%
of our revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31,
2009. Three customers accounted for 54% of the accounts receivable at
March 31, 2009, the largest of which accounted for 25% of the receivables. Two
customers accounted for 62% and 14% of our revenue, respectively, for the three
months ended March 31, 2008. One customer
accounted for 57% of our revenue for the nine months ended March 31,
2008.
10. Accounts
Payable
Accounts
payable at March 31, 2009 were $4,345,963. Four vendors accounted for 47% of the
payables at March 31, 2009, the largest of which accounted for 24% of the
payables.
Although
we believe that we have adequate alternative vendors to purchase services and
products, there can be no assurance of comparability, which could have a
detrimental effect 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 our business.
11. Property,
Plant and Equipment
We have acquired $1,319,334 in
equipment and incurred $823,236 in principal amount of capital lease obligations
primarily for computer and telephony equipment. During the three
months ended March 31, 2009, we incurred $112,651 in capital lease
charges. During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we incurred
$336,339 in capital lease charges. There were no capital lease obligations
in the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The future minimum payments
under these capital leases are $112,651 in fiscal 2009 and $450,605 in fiscal
2010. The lease terms expire from November 2010 to June
2011. The interest rates range from 9.1% to
21.8%.
12. Promissory
and Convertible Notes
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, we issued a $300,000 Promissory Note, due
March 31, 2009, with 300,000 shares of restricted common stock issued on March
31, 2009. As of April 21, 2009, this Note had not been repaid and
under the terms of the Note we are required to issue an additional 300,000
shares of restricted common stock to the Note holder.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, we also issued a €100,000 (US $132,048)
Promissory Note, due April 30, 2009, with 30,000 shares of restricted common
stock to be issued on April 30, 2009.
From June
30, 2007 to March 31, 2009, we issued $3,140,583 principal amount of Promissory
notes with Warrants, $3,661,646 principal amount of U.S. Dollar Convertible
Promissory Notes and €1,475,000 (US $1,947,738) principal amount of Euro
Convertible Promissory Notes. Substantially all of the proceeds have been used
for the expansion of our 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 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. $2,751,500 of
the Notes have a conversion price of $0.275 per share.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, $1,474,282 in principal and interest was
converted by the U.S. Dollar Convertible Promissory Notes into a total of
5,361,025 shares of restricted common stock. As of March 31, 2009, a
total of $2,267,755 in principal and accrued interest of the U.S. Dollar
Convertible Promissory Notes was converted into 8,246,381 shares. A
holder of U.S. Dollar Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $122,895
executed a six month extension to June 30, 2009. A holder of two U.S.
Dollar Convertible Promissory Notes in the amount of $148,056 and $180,861 in
principal and accrued interest executed a twenty-four month extension to
December 31, 2010. The remaining $1,235,425 was due to U.S. Dollar
Promissory Note holders as of December 31, 2008 and has not been
repaid. Management is negotiating extensions with these Note holders
and we believe that all of the remaining Note holders will agree extensions or
convert the Notes. 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, 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
conversion price for €1,175,000 (US $1,551,588) 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 (US
$396,150) of the Notes have a conversion price of $0.25 per share.
Promissory
Notes with Warrants
During
the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we issued $1,502,500 of Promissory
Notes. $1,202,500 of the Promissory Notes were issued to Flint
Telecom, Ltd. These notes have a 15% interest rate and mature on
March 30, 2009. The warrants are exercisable into 1,202,500 common
shares at $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on September 30,
2011.
We also
issued $300,000 of Promissory Notes with Warrants to an individual on September
30, 2008. The Note has a 15% interest rate and matures on December
31, 2010. The warrants are exercisable into 300,000 common shares at
$0.50 per share. The warrants expire on September 30, 2011.
During
the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we issued a $250,000 Promissory Note due
March 30, 2009 to an individual with 250,000 warrants exercisable at $0.50 per
share, expiring on November 10, 2011.
For nine
months ended March 31, 2009, the warrant component of the promissory notes was
valued at $1,132,869. The value was recorded as a discount to the promissory
note and $1,132,869 was expensed through March 31, 2009. The

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As part
of the reverse merger with Semotus that closed on October 1, 2008, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $443,948 and $3,489,198.
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 March 31, 2009 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 $0.50 market price of our common stock
at March 31, 2009, of which there were none.
No
options were exercised during the three months ended March 31,
2009.
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as a hiring and retention incentive and in
lieu of issuing stock options under the Company’s stock option plan, we issued
6,500,000 shares of restricted stock, vesting over a period of four years, to
executive officers, and a total of 1,600,000 shares of restricted common stock
to other key employees. These shares of restricted common stock have
a total value of $2,004,500, calculated based on the closing market price of our
common stock on the date of grant. We recorded approximately $167,519
in expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 related to these
shares.
On
October 1, 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. Among these 8,410,000 shares, 1,660,000 shares have been cancelled in
the January 2009. We recorded approximately $257,813 and $652,031 in expense for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 respectively, related to the
these shares of restricted common stock granted to the executive officers and
key 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.
However, these shares were returned to us as consideration for the sale of the
Semotus Business that closed on January 29, 2009 (See Note 4 Acquisition and
Subsequent Disposition of Semotus Solutions, Inc. for more details on the
Semotus Business disposition). We recorded $2,631,000 in expense for
the nine months ended March 31, 2009, related to the 3,508,000 shares of
restricted common stock issued to Mr. LaPine.
14. Exchange
Gains and Losses
We
maintain certain bank accounts denominated in euros and have 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. We
recorded a $105,078 and $374,650 loss on translation for the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.
15. Common
Stockholder’s Equity
Effective
October 1, 2008, as a result of the closing of the
acquisition transaction by and among Flint Telecom, Inc. and
Semotus, and as approved by our s tock holders, we
filed an amendmen t to our articles of
incorporation increasing our total authorized shares of common stoc k to 100,000,000. As of March 31, 2009,
76,957,002 shares were issued and
outstanding. There are no special voting or economic rights or
privileges.
16. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2009,
22,861,777 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 nine months ended March 31, 2008, 8,741,215 potential
shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted EPS as their
effect is anti-dilutive.
We
reported a net loss of $1,246,295 and $10,940,839 for the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2009, respectively. We reported a net loss of
$531,572 and $1,604,431 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008,
respectively.
17.
Related Party Transactions
On January 29, 2009, Redquartz Atlanta, LLC
(“Redquartz”), which is partly owned by Mr. Stephen Keaveney, our CFO and a
member of our board of directors, agreed to purchase 5,454,545 shares of our
restricted common stock at $0.275 per share and we agreed to
issue
3,750,000
warrants to purchase shares of Flint’s common stock at $0.40 per share, having a
three year term and a cashless exercise provision, in exchange for
$1,500,000. See Note 7 for more
details.
Also on
January 29, 2009, we sold all of the assets and liabilities of the ‘Semotus
Business’ or ‘Solutions Division’ to Mr. Anthony LaPine for 3,508,000 shares of
Flint restricted common stock owned by Mr. LaPine. Mr. LaPine
exercised his right to purchase the Semotus Business/Solutions Division from us,
in accordance with Section 8.2(f) of the Contribution Agreement by and among
Semotus Solutions, Inc. (now named Flint Telecom Group, Inc., and referred to as
“Flint”) and Flint Telecom, Inc. dated April 23, 2008, in exchange for 3,508,000
shares of Flint restricted common stock owned by Mr. LaPine. This
transaction was further clarified and consummated by the Agreement and Plan of
Corporate Separation and Reorganization by and among Flint and Semotus, Inc.
executed as of January 29, 2009, pursuant to which we transferred all of the
assets and properties, subject to all the liabilities, debts, obligations and
contracts, of the Solutions Division to Semotus, Inc. in exchange for Mr.
LaPine’s 3,508,000 shares of Flint restricted common stock. The “Semotus
Business”, as set forth in Section 7.18 of the Contribution Agreement, is
defined as the operations of Semotus as conducted immediately prior to the
acquisition transaction of Flint Telecom, Inc. that closed on October 1, 2008,
and does not reflect the business operations of Flint Telecom, Inc. acquired in
connection with that transaction.
We have
limited access to capital from either banking institutions or the capital
markets. Consequently, we have loans from Flint Telecom Ltd, which is controlled
by Mr. Browne, Flint’s CEO, and Mr. Butler, one of Flint’s board
members. Flint, Ltd. also has a direct equity investment in
us. The loan balance was $17,895 at March 31, 2009. The
loan includes charges for management fees earned by Flint, Ltd. The
management fees are for the executive, operating and financial services provided
by Flint, Ltd. to us. The investment from Flint, Ltd. was $1,482,883
at March 31, 2009. The investment is for capital needed for our
operations.
During
the nine months ended March 31, 2009, we issued $1,502,500 of Promissory
Notes. $1,202,500 of the Promissory Notes were issued to the Flint
Telecom, Ltd. These notes have a 15% interest rate and mature on
March 30, 2009. The warrants are exercisable into 1,202,500 common
shares at $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on September 30,
2011.
We also
issued $300,000 of Promissory Notes with Warrants to Mr.Butler on September 30,
2008. The Note has a 15% interest rate and matures on December 31,
2010. The warrants are exercisable into 300,000 common shares at
$0.50 per share. The warrants expire on September 30,
2011.
In
addition, € 1,475,000 in Euro
convertible notes are owed by us t o Mr. Butler, and $ 634 ,000 in U.S.
Dollar convertible notes are owed to Mr. Butler and his family members and
affiliates. See Footnote 10 for more details
on these notes.
Effective January 29, 2009, we entered into a two year employment agreement with our
President, Bill Burbank. The agreement automatically renews for six month
periods unless 60 days prior notice is provided by either party. Mr.
Burbank will receive salary in the amount of $186,000 pe r year and
2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock vesting over a period of four years,
such that ¼ of the shares shall vest at the
first annual anniversary of the Effective Date, and quarterly thereafter so that
100% of the shares shall be fully veste d at his four year
anniversary with Flint. However, during the time Mr. Burbank is an Officer
of China Voice Holding Corp. he will be compensated as follows: January 2009,
60% of base monthly salary and for months thereafter , 90% of monthly base
salary.
Effective March 1, 2009, we entered into a two year

shares shall vest at his first annual anniversary, and quarterly thereafter so
t hat
100% of the shares shall be fully vested at his four year
anniversary.
The foregoing description of the terms of employment of
Mr. Burbank and Mr. Keaveney are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
full text of their employment agreements, which are attached as exhibits to our Current Reports on
Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2009 and March 6, 2009,
respectively.
18. Commitments
and Contingencies
We are a
party to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Based on
evaluation of these matters and discussions with counsel, we believe that any
potential liabilities arising from these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
We
assumed an operating lease for its facility in New York, N.Y. starting on April
1, 2008. The lease expires on May 1, 2010. The monthly
base lease payment is $9,300 and there are additional payments owed for costs
passed through by the landlord. We have incurred $83,700 in lease payments for
the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The future minimum lease payments are
$27,900 in fiscal 2009 and $93,000 in fiscal 2010.We have two leases for
apartments in New York, N.Y. for former executives, which expire on 30 th June
2009. The future minimum lease payments are $11,085 and $21,900 for fiscal
2009.
19. Goodwill
and Goodwill Impairment
In
association with the acquisition of CHVC subsidiaries, in accordance with FASB
141, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we recorded the purchase price in
excess of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date as
goodwill. The goodwill was recorded on January 29, 2009, the closing
date of the CHVC subsidiaries acquisition (See Note 3, Acquisition of the CHVC
Acquisition Companies.) in the amount of $7,654,248. In accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), we
perform an evaluation of the fair values annually, and more frequently if an
event occurs or circumstances change that may indicate that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. We are currently
performing a valuation of the assets acquired for the purchase allocation, and
management expects the valuation will be done by June 30, 2009.
In
accordance with FASB 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” we determined
that the goodwill from the Semotus acquisition was impaired due to the
disposition of the Semotus Business Division on January 29, 2009 (See Note 4,
Acquisition and Subsequent Disposition of Semotus Solutions,
Inc.). The goodwill was recorded on October 1, 2008, the closing date
of the Semotus acquisition (See Note 4, Acquisition and Subsequent Disposition
of Semotus Solutions, Inc.) in the amount of $2,538,148, and was mainly
associated with the Hiplink family of products.
20. Other
Income
We
recorded other income of $1,279,657 and $1,131,956 for the three months and nine
months ended March 31, 2009. Other income is comprised mainly from
the gain from disposition of Semotus Solutions, Inc., net of any other expense
related to accrued interest on the convertible and promissory notes, as well as
the amortization of the debt discounts related to those notes. During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, we disposed of the Semotus business (see
Note 4, Acquisition and Subsequent Disposition of Semotus Solutions, Inc). As a
result of the transaction, we recorded a gain of $1,639,767. The
other component is exchange gains and losses from currency transactions in the
Euro and U.S. dollar. For the three and nine months ended March 31,
2008, other income amounted to $104.
21. Management
and Board of Directors Changes
Effective January 29, 2009, we appointed Mr. Bill
Burbank as our President, Chief Operating Officer and as a new member to our
Board of Directors. Additionally, on
January 29, 2009, we appointed Stephen Keaveney and Garrett A. Sullivan as new
members of our Board of Directors. To effectuate these new
board appointments, our board of directors took
such actions as was necessary to increase the s ize of the our board of
directors to seven directors, with the vacancies created by such board increase
filled by Mr. Burbank, Mr. Keaveney and Mr. Sullivan. Neither
Mr. Burbank nor Mr. Keaveney qualify as
“ independent” directors, as that term is defined by the NASDAQ Stock Market and the SEC, and they will
not be serving on any Board Committees. Also effective as of
January 29, 2009, we appointed John Iacovelli as our Chief Technology Officer
and Jose Ferrer as our Executive Vice President of Business
Development. Please see our SEC Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2009
for a description of the business experience of Messrs. Burbank, Keaveney,
Sullivan, Iacovelli and Ferrer for at least the past five years and a
description of their terms of employment compensation.
Effective
March 1, 2009, Charles K. Dargan, II resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, as
part of a planned transition after the acquisition of Semotus Solutions, Inc,
for which he was the Chief Financial Officer, to Flint. Also on
March 1, 2009, Steve Keaveney was appointed our Chief Financial
Officer. Please see our SEC Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2009 for a
description of Mr. Keaveney’s terms of employment.
22. Subsequent
Events
On April 24, 2009, we entered into two
amendments with China Voice Holding Corp. (CHVC) : 1) the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger by and among Flint, Flint Acquisition Corps. (A-E), each a wholly owned
subsidiary of Flint, CHVC, and CVC Int ’ l Inc., Cable and
Voice Corporation, StarCom Alliance Inc ,
Dial-Tone Communication Inc, Phone House Inc. (of Florida), and Phone House,
Inc. (of California), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of CHVC (and
together, the “ Targets” ) dated January 29, 2009 (the “ Merger Agreement” ),
and 2) the First Amendment to the Sto ck
Purchase Agreement by and among Flint and CHVC dated January 29, 2009 (the
“ Stock Purchase Agreement” ), whereby the consideration to be paid under these
agreements is modified as follows:
The First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
modifies the Agreement and Plan of Merger
such that all shares of the Targets ’ Common Stock are
converted into the right to receive a cash payment, paid to CHVC, at the
Closing Date equal to $500,000 and $200,000 paid on March 16, 2009. In
addition to the aforeme ntioned amounts
already paid, we shall issue to CHVC 800,000 shares ($800,000 issue
price) of Series C preferred stock, redeemable through the following payment
schedule: $275,000 in May of 2009, with the remaining $525,000 redeemable in
five equal monthly installment payments of
$105,000 each, starting on July 15, 2009. A lternatively,
should we close on new funding from a third party, the remaining
$525,000 shall be redeemed through one lump sum payment, up to a maximum of
twenty five percent (25%) of wha tever net
amount we actually receive.
Additionally, effective March 16, 2009, we agreed to omit
the Targets ’ future minimum revenue targets and our right of
offset; we therefore released to CHVC the 6,300,000 shares of
restricted common stock that were b eing
held in escrow pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The First
Amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement modifies the Stock Purchase Agreement
such that we shall pay to CHVC $500,000 by no later than April 30,
2009. Additionally, we shall issue to
CHVC 1,000,000 shares ($1,000,000 issue
price) of Series C preferred stock, redeemable through the following payment
schedule: $275,000 in May of 2009, with the remaining $725,000 redeemable in
five equal monthly installment payments of $145,000 each, startin g on July 15, 2009.
Alternatively, should we close on new
funding from a third party, the remaining $725,000 shall be redeemed through one
lump sum payment, up to a maximum of twenty five percent (25%) of whatever net
amount we actually receives. Additiona lly,
we
entered into a security agreement with CHVC
(the “ Security Agreement” ) whereby the obligation to redeem the preferred stock
issued to CHVC is secured by the capital stock of the Targets. Notwithstanding, CHVC agrees to subordinate its security
int erest in the Targets to any future third
party funding closed by us , as required by us and approved by
CHVC, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
We also executed a
First Amendment to the Promissory Note issued to CHVC on January 29, 2009 (the
“ Note” ), whereby we agreed to add
the following language to the end of Section 2(a) of the Note:“ A portion equal to one million dollars (USD$1,000,000)
of the balance due on the Note shall be paid by Maker [Flint] through a payment
of seven hundred twenty o ne thousand pound
sterling (GBP£ 721,000) on or before
December 31, 2010, regardless of whether the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens
in relation to the GBP pound sterling during the term of the Note and whether
there is therefore a foreign currency trans l ation gain or loss
for either party.”
The foregoing descriptions of the First Amendment to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, the First Amendment to the Stock Purchase
Agreement, the First Amendment to the Promissory Note and the Security Agreement
are qua lified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of those agreements, which are filed as exhibits to
our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 30, 2009.
