NOTE
This
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to include a Reoffer Prospectus
prepared in accordance with Part I of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of
1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company previously filed a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 on January 26, 2005 (Registration No. 333-122299) relating
to options to be granted under its 2004 Stock Option Plan. The Reoffer
Prospectus may be utilized for reoffering and resales of shares of Common Stock
by "affiliates" of the Company acquired pursuant to the Company's 2004 Stock
Option Plan. The inclusion of any individual in the Selling Stockholder table
of
the Reoffer Prospectus should not be deemed a determination by or an admission
by the Company that such individual is in fact an affiliate of the

THE
COMPANY
OVERVIEW
We
were
incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on August 3, 1998 under
our
original name of Millennia Tea Masters. In February 2004 we exchanged
12,500,000
of our common shares for the assets of two start-up telecommunication
businesses, eGlobalphone, Inc. and VoIP Solutions, Inc. We changed our
name to
VoIP, Inc. in April 2004. We consummated the acquisitions of DTNet Technologies,
Inc., a hardware supplier, and VoIP Americas, Inc., a VoIP related company,
in
June and September, respectively, of 2004. We decided to exit our former
tea
business in December 2004 and focus our efforts and resources in the
Voice over
Internet Protocol (VOIP) telecommunications industry. In May 2005 we
completed
the acquisition of Caerus, Inc., a VoIP carrier and service provider,
and in
October 2005 we purchased substantially all of the VOIP-related assets
of WQN,
Inc.
We
are an
emerging global provider of advanced communications products and services
utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology. VOIP is the
real time
transmission of voice communications in the form of digitized "packets"
of
information over the Internet or a private network, similar to the way
in which
e-mail and other data is transmitted.
Since
2004, we have developed our business through strategic acquisitions.
These
acquisitions have provided us with important technology, intellectual
capital,
VOIP expertise, trade names, domain names, VOIP enhanced service applications,
key business relationships and revenues. We own our network and technology
and
have the ability to provide complete product and service solutions, including
outsourced customer service and hardware fulfillment. We are a certified
Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) and Interexchange Carrier (IXC)
which
allows us to receive more favorable rates from the Regional Bell Operating
Companies (RBOCs) and the traditional long-distance carriers than telephony
resellers who are not CLECs or IXCs, as well as provide regulatory compliance
in
an industry that is moving quickly towards controls and regulations.
We expect
to provide a comprehensive portfolio of advanced telecommunications
technologies, enhanced service solutions, and broadband products to the
VOIP
industry. Our current and targeted customers include RBOCs, CLECs, IXCs,
wireless carriers, resellers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), cable
system
operators ("cable operators") and other providers of telephony services
in the
United States and various countries around the world.
Our
goal
is to become the premier enabler for packet communication services for
carriers,
service providers and cable operators seeking to offer value-added voice,
data
and enhanced services products utilizing VOIP technology.
OUR
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Our
business is divided into three primary segments: (1) telecommunications,
which
consists of consumer and wholesale telecommunication services provided
through
our proprietary VOIP network and technology; (2) wholesale sales of VOIP
hardware and broadband components; and (3) the wholesaling of prepaid
calling
cards.
Telecommunications
Segment
Our
Technology and Network
We
began
developing our proprietary hardware and software in 2002, establishing
strategic
relationships with companies such as Intel, Brooktrout, Sonus, iCable
and other
manufacturers of both hardware and software.
Our
proprietary softswitch features tools that we believe will relieve many
of the
interoperability and cost issues that have affected the implementation
of VOIP
softswitch technology by traditional carriers, enabling them to offer
cost-competitive, viable VOIP services. Our softswitch architecture is
protocol
agnostic, allowing seamless integration with the legacy-based networks
(referred
to in the industry as Time Division Multiplexing, or TDMs) employed by
the
traditional telephony companies and with other packet technologies. Our
network
will allow TDM-based networks to access the enhanced capabilities and
efficiencies of packet technology networks. The ability to control the
underlying technology in our network allows us to provide interoperable
services
with multiple hardware solutions which may be pre-existing in customer
networks.
Our
network currently supports its own media gateways, softswitch controller,
unified messaging systems, voicemail, media trans-coding, billing and
many other
integral parts of a complete solution.
Our
network operations center located in Orlando, Florida, is a fully manned,
24x7x365 operation. From this center we monitor all aspects of the technical
environment of our network, from our nationwide optical backbone to network
routers, signaling gateways and numerous routing gateways, soft switches
and
other aspects of our VOIP infrastructure. Fully redundant technologies
are
deployed in a scalable network environment that we believe will enable
us to
effectively compete in the demanding Internet Protocol (IP) telephony
marketplace. Our network incorporates an advanced Multi-Protocol Label
Switching
(MPLS) architecture which provides services to carriers and other service
providers. Our network features direct interconnection facilities with
multiple
RBOCs, CLECs, IXCs, service providers, cable operators, wireless carriers
and
resellers. We also operate a smaller combination TDM/IP network located
in
Dallas, Texas.
Customers,
Products and Services:
Our
telecommunications products and service offerings target VOIP wholesale
customers such as RBOCs, CLECs, IXCs, wireless carriers, ISPs, cable
operators
and other providers of telephony services in the United States and various
countries around the world. We also sell VOIP products, such as EasyTalk
and
Rocket VOIP, that are targeted at individual consumers.
Call
Termination:
We
charge
our wholesale customers termination fees to terminate calls on our network.
We
pay termination fees when it is necessary to route calls from our network
to
other networks for termination. Our revenues and profit margins on those
revenues are a function of the number and duration of calls handled by
our
network and what we charge and pay to handle this traffic.
U.S.
termination takes place either on our network or that of one of our network
partners to which we route traffic. Our international termination product
features direct routes and connections established to many international
voice
carriers worldwide. Carriers use complex least-cost-routing algorithms
that
direct traffic to the lowest cost carrier. We believe we are in the process
of
establishing a competitive cost structure through the efficiencies of
our
network design, the completion and implementation of our own least-cost-routing
algorithms, and through current and future partnerships with key off-net
and
niche providers. Revenues generated from these services in 2005, all
of which
were derived from one customer, amounted to $4,672,840 or 30% of our
consolidated 2005 revenues.
VoiceOne
Carrier Direct:
We
are in
the early stages of implementing our VoiceOne Carrier Direct program
which we
believe will enable us to develop a significant facilities-based carrier
customer base. We are a certified CLEC in 27 states, and will continue
to apply
for CLEC certification in other states as required.
We
believe that carriers that want to offer VOIP services have essentially
three
options: create their own internal VOIP capabilities, acquire a VOIP
carrier, or
partner with a VOIP carrier. The first of these options requires a carrier
to
devote a significant amount of resources to (i) develop its VOIP network
capabilities and associated retail services; (ii) maintain its network
and
develop new retail products, and; (iii) continuously upgrade its VOIP
capabilities to keep pace with technological changes. The acquisition
of an
existing VOIP carrier could be relatively expensive and, once the acquisition
is
complete, the facilities based carrier would still face on-going maintenance/
upgrade issues and costs and additional capital expenditures. With respect
to
the third option, our VoiceOne Carrier Direct is a partner program for
carriers
that provides them with our technology to IP-enable their TDM networks.
With
this program the carriers receive our equipment and expertise, enabling
them to
rapidly enter the VOIP services market without making significant capital
expenditures. Because our technology is protocol agnostic, by implementing
the
VoiceOne Carrier Direct program we believe our customers can avoid significant
modifications to their TDM networks and the operability issues that can
plague
the interface of legacy systems with IP technology. We interface our
customers'
TDM systems to our VOIP network. We do not charge the carriers for equipment
that includes softswitch technology, a media gateway, a service creation
environment, a multi-protocol label switching network and access to our
products
and services. In return for our equipment and expertise, the facilities
based
carrier will pay us fees to terminate calls on our network and for other
services such as Hosted IP Centrex and local inbound. We anticipate that
this
strategy will be attractive to carriers since it provides them with a
new group
of customers and revenue sources without requiring them to modify their
legacy
systems or expend capital. Once the carriers are part of our Carrier
Direct
Program, we can obtain revenues from calls the carriers terminate on
our
network, and can terminate calls on their network. Through December 31,
2005 we
had not generated any significant revenues from our Voice One Carrier
Direct
program.
EasyTalk:
EasyTalk,
our automated number identification (ANI) retail product, marketed through our
website, is a long distance service with "ease of use" features for
consumers. We believe that EasyTalk is a step beyond calling cards. Our
network is programmed to automatically recognize our customers’ phone numbers
and to provide callers from these numbers immediate access to long-distance
services. No calling card or PIN number is required. Consumer features
include
PIN-less dialing, fast *1 recharge of the service, speed dial, and quick
query
of current balance. As of December 31, 2005 we had approximately 36,000
Easy
Talk customers, and revenues generated for this product offering amounted
to
approximately $1,477,000 in 2005.
RocketVoIP:
Our
RocketVoIP retail product allows customers to use, through a media terminal
adapter we provide, their high speed internet connection to place local,
long
distance and international calls. As of December 31, 2005 we had approximately
1,800 Rocket VoIP customers, and revenues generated for this product
offering
amounted to $171,000 in 2005.
Other
Products:
We
also
sell various PIN and ANI products to consumers via our website.
Prepaid
Calling Cards Segment
We previously
sold prepaid calling cards that we purchased from other carriers to private
distributors located in southern California. Unlike our other communications
products the communication traffic arising from the use of these cards
to place
telephone calls was handled by carriers affiliated with vendors we
purchased the cards from, and not by our network. We generated $4,932,229
in
revenues from the sale of these cards to approximately 40 distributors
during
the year ended December 31, 2005.
On
April 19, 2006, the Company sold its wholly-owned
subsidiary, DTNet Technologies, to the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer
(the “Purchaser”), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement.
Hardware
Sales Segment
Our
hardware sales subsidiary, doing business as DT Net Technologies, operated
a
fulfillment center in Clearwater, Florida from which we sold a variety
of VOIP
hardware and broadband components to broadband service providers. DT
Net’s
products were purchased from suppliers in Korea, Taiwan and China. These
products included cable modems, DSL modems, AV power line and home plug
adapters, and multimedia terminal adapters. Sales for this business segment
were
$2,376,329 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Effective
October 12, 2006, the Company terminated its Marketing and Distribution
Agreement with Phone House, Inc. dated September 1, 2004 and amended
February
16, 2006 (the “Agreement”), effectively discontinuing this business segment. The
Agreement called for the wholesale distribution, marketing and selling
of
prepaid telephone calling cards by Phone House, Inc., under license from
the
Company.
STRATEGY
Our
objective is to provide reliable, scalable, and competitively-priced
worldwide
VOIP communication services with unmatched quality. We plan to achieve
this
objective by delivering innovative technologies and services and balancing
the
needs of our customers with the needs of our business. We intend to bring
high
quality voice products and services, at an affordable price, to other
communication providers, businesses and residential consumers to enhance
the
ways in which these customers communicate with the rest of the world.
Specific
strategies to accomplish this objective include:
·
|
building
our carrier/service provider customer base through aggressive marketing
of
our VoiceOne Carrier Direct program;
|
·
|
completing
the expansion of our network (currently in process);
|
·
|
capitalizing
on our technological expertise to introduce new products, services
and
features;
|
·
|
customizing
our service offerings for the purpose of pursuing strategic partnerships
with major customers and suppliers;
|
·
|
offering
the best possible service and support to our customers with a world
class
customer support organization;
|
·
|
developing
additional distribution channels;
|
·
|
expanding
our market share for our retail calling services;
|
·
|
increasing
our customer base by introducing cost-effective solutions to interconnect
with our network; and
|
·
|
controlling
operating expenses and capital expenditures.
|
Competition
We
compete primarily in the market for enhanced IP communications services.
This
market is highly competitive and has numerous service providers. The market
for
enhanced Internet and IP communications services is new and rapidly evolving.
We
believe that the primary competitive factors determining success in the
Internet
and IP communications market are:
·
|
the
ability to meet and anticipate customer needs through multiple
service
offerings and feature sets;
|
·
|
responsive
customer care services, and;
|
Future
competition could come from a variety of companies both in the Internet
and
telecommunications industries. These industries include major companies
who have
greater resources and larger customer bases than we have, and have been
in
operation for many years. We also compete in the growing market of discount
telecommunications services including "pure play" VoIP service providers,
prepaid calling cards, call-back services, dial-around or 10-10 calling
and
collect calling services. In addition, some Internet service providers
have
begun to aggressively enhance their real time interactive communications,
including instant messaging, PC-to-PC and PC-to-Phone services, and broadband
phone services.
Some
competitors may be able to bundle services and products that are not offered
by
us together with enhanced Internet and IP communications services, which
could
place us at a significant competitive disadvantage. Many of our competitors
enjoy economies of scale that can result in lower cost structure for
transmission and related costs, which could cause significant pricing pressures
within the industry. At the same time, we see these potential competitors
as
potential customers, and have organized our various reseller and service
provider products and services to meet the emergent needs of these companies.
Our
primary competitors include:
·
|
carriers
operating in the U.S. and abroad, which include the RBOCs, AT&T,
British Telecom, France Telecom, Deutsche Telecom, IDT, Sprint,
Verizon,
Level 3, Infonet, Qwest, Broadwing, Ibasis, Primus, and
Teleglobe/VSNL;
|
·
|
subscriber
based service provider competitors, which include Vonage, Packet8,
DeltaThree, SunRocket, Time Warner, Comcast and
Net2phone.
|
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
We
have
developed several important intellectual property features. VoiceOne has
developed and the network provides an E911 solution to comply with the
FCC's
recent order imposing E911 requirements on VoIP Service Providers. VoiceOne's
911 service is known as Enhanced E911. A key feature of the E911 service
is that
it can route emergency calls for the customer whose location is constant
as well
as the customer who often moves the location of his VoIP device. Customers
can
update their location information in real time, so that their E-911 call
will be
delivered to the appropriate Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) in the
new
location. To further support the FCC 911 mandate, VoIP, Inc. has applied
for a
patent for its 911 compliant VoIP Multimedia Terminal Adaptor.
VoIP
Inc.
has developed Pathfinder as a "cascading provisioning server" feature for
deployment of zero-touch hardware deployment and is a new development that
is
exclusive to VoIP, Inc.'s platform. The system allows each device to
auto-provision without any customer interaction even in situations where
there
are multiple levels of VAR or resellers to distribute the product to their
customers (to any number of resale levels.) This allows for installations
without any customer service or technical support time spent in configuration
issues.
REGULATION
The
Company currently is a value added service provider. The hardware, integration
and softswitch portions of our business are expected to remain unthreatened
by
regulation in major nations in which the Company expects to do business.
The
eGlobalphone service offering may potentially experience regulatory pressures
as
the United States makes changes in its telecommunications laws to encompass
VoIP
services. The imposition of government regulation on our business could
adversely affect our operations by requiring additional expense to meet
compliance requirements.
1) Regulation
is expected to be applied to the following areas of our service: E911,
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and USF taxation.
(a)
Our
existing E911 service addresses this concern already and we are working with
industry groups to also address E911 delivery via the network when that
technology becomes mature and affordable. The combined delivery methods
should
adequately protect the Company against negative regulatory or economic
pressure
in the future.
(b)
CALEA
data delivery is almost complete in the system for the basics of call status
and
PIN tapping. The additional steps of call monitoring and call splitting
are yet
to be even defined, though it is not anticipated that their deployment
would
require anything other than minor expense for adequate compliance with
these
laws, given current technology.
(c)
USF
(Universal Service Fee) taxation has been explicitly not required for data
services. The classification of VoIP as a value added data service has
clearly
indicated that it is outside of the USF charter.
2)
Comments by the FCC staff have indicated that VoIP will be handled in a
relatively "hands-off" manner until the industry is more mature and capable
of
competing directly with RBOC and ILEC carriers. This is anticipated to
be at
least another two years.
3)
Even
with additional regulations and if they were to be applied, the costs of
compliance would be significantly lower than those of traditional telephony,
as
these regulatory structures are already being considered and compensated
for in
design aspects of the network.
4)
Our
primary focus on non-US customers should limit our exposure in the United
States.

RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the
other information in this prospectus before making an investment decision.
If
any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events,
our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
and
adversely affected. The risk factors below contain forward-looking statements
regarding our company. Actual results could differ materially from those
set
forth in the forward-looking statements.
RISK
RELATED TO OUR
COMPANY
Because
we are not
in compliance with the terms of our loan agreement, our
payment obligations may be accelerated.
We
are
not in compliance with certain covenants of the agreement for our loan from
a
lending institution (which amounted to approximately $2.8 million at September
30, 2006). Our lender has not declared a default under the loan agreement.
We
presently are current with the principal and interest payments on this loan
but
we will need to raise additional debt or equity capital to repay or restructure
this loan. Although the lender has not yet done so, the lender could elect,
among other things, to accelerate our indebtedness under the credit facility,
or
to take possession of, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any of the assets
of
the Company. In the event that the lender declares the amounts borrowed under
the credit facility immediately due and payable or seeks to foreclose on any
of
our assets, it would likely have a material adverse affect on our financial
position and our results of operations. If we experience delays in raising
capital or are unable to raise a sufficient amount of capital, we could be
required to seek modifications to the terms of the loan agreement or another
source of financing to continue operations.
We
are not in compliance with the terms of our convertible notes
issued in July and October 2005 and in January and February of 2006, and the
note holders may accelerate the amounts due at any time.
The
provisions of the convertible notes issued in July and October 2005 and in
January and February 2006 provide that the failure to pay principal and interest
timely and the failure to register the securities underlying the notes within
the required time limit are events of default under the notes. We have not
made
scheduled payments of $91,419 under the 2005 notes and have not made scheduled
payments of $1,676,100 under the 2006 notes. We have also not registered all
of
these notes and related warrants. The convertible note holders have not declared
a default under the loan agreements. However, the
amounts due under the notes could be accelerated and immediately due and
payable, which could adversely affect our ability to meet all of our financial
obligations.
Because
we failed to
meet our obligations to file the registration statements required under the
various subscription agreements related to certain of our note, warrant and
common stock financings timely, we are accruing liquidated damages for breach
of
contract until such time as the registration statements are filed and are
declared effective.
Pursuant
to the subscription agreements under which certain investors purchased notes,
common stock and warrants in 2005 and 2006, we agreed to register the securities
purchased for resale by those investors under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, within a specified time. Because we failed to comply with the
requirement to have effective registration statements covering the notes and
warrants within the applicable time limits, we currently owe liquidated damages
of $2,098,372 plus 1,361,438 shares of common stock, and will continue to incur
liquidated damages amounting to $275,682 and 142,938 shares per month until
there are effective registration statements covering the notes and warrants.
Because we are incurring substantial liquidated damages on a monthly basis,
our
failure to comply with the terms of the notes and warrants could continue to
have an adverse effect on our financial position and our results of
operations.
Our
substantial debt could adversely affect our financial position, operations
and
ability to grow.
As
of
September 30, 2006, our total liabilities were approximately $36.9 million,
most
of which are classified as current. Our substantial indebtedness could have
adverse consequences in the future. For example, it could:
· require
us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to
payments on our debt, which would reduce amounts available for working capital,
capital expenditures, research and development and other general corporate
purposes;
· limit
our
flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the
industries in which we operate;
· increase
our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
conditions;
· place
us
at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have less debt than
we
do;
· make
it
more difficult for us to obtain additional financing that may be necessary
in
connection with our business;
· make
it
more difficult for us to implement our business and growth strategies;
and
· cause
us
to have to pay higher interest rates on future borrowings.
We
need additional capital to continue our operations.
Our
operations currently require significant amounts of cash. We intend to continue
to enhance and expand our network in order to maintain our competitive position
and meet the increasing demands for service quality, capacity and competitive
pricing. Also, our pursuit of new customers and the introduction of new products
and/or services will require significant marketing and promotional expenses
that
we often incur before we begin to receive the related revenue. Our operations
have consumed, rather than generated, cash. Our working capital and capital
expenditure requirements have been met by sales of debt and equity securities.
We will need to raise additional capital to continue our operations. We may
not
be able to raise additional capital. If we are able to raise additional capital
through the issuance of additional equity or debt, our current investors could
experience dilution. We
need
to raise additional debt or equity capital imminently to provide the funds
necessary to repay or restructure our debt and continue operations. If
unsuccessful, or if the note holders declare the Company’s notes in default, we
may not be able to continue operations.
We
have experienced significant changes in our top
management.
On
September 12, 2006, we underwent a reorganization of our executive management.
In connection therewith, Mr. Anthony J. Cataldo was appointed Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, replacing Mr. Gary Post who himself replaced a former
Chief Executive Officer on May 19, 2006. Mr. David Ahn, Vice President Corporate
Planning, also left the Company effective September 12, 2006. On May
19, 2006, Mr. Robert V. Staats was appointed Chief Accounting Officer, and
Mr.
David Sasnett resigned as Chief Financial Officer. On July 28, 2006, Mr.
Shawn
M. Lewis was appointed Chief Operating Officer in addition to Chief Technology
Officer. Although
the board of directors believes that these management changes are in the
best
interests of the Company and that the new management will have a positive
impact
on the Company, significant personnel changes may have the effect of disrupting
the day to day operations of the Company until such time as the new management
is integrated and fully informed with respect to the business and operations
of
the Company.
We
may incur goodwill and intangible asset impairment
charges.
Our
balance sheet at September 30, 2006 includes approximately $23.4 million in
goodwill and approximately $12.5 million in other intangible assets recorded
in
connection with our acquisitions. We recorded significant additional amounts
of
goodwill and intangible assets as a result of our acquisition in October 2005
of
substantially all of the assets relating to the VoIP business of WQN, and our
acquisition in May 2005 of Caerus and its subsidiaries.
In
accordance with SFAS 142, we test the carrying value of our goodwill and our
other intangible assets for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair
values of these assets to their carrying values. During the year ended December
31, 2005 we recorded an impairment charge to our operating results of
approximately $4.2 million relating to goodwill previously recorded for an
acquisition. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded an
impairment charge to operating results of $839,101 as a result of selling our
interest in our subsidiary, DTNet Technologies, in April 2006. These charges
reduced the carrying value of the subsidiary to its estimated fair value. We
may
be required to record additional impairment charges for these assets in the
future, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations. If the traded market price of our common stock continues
to decline, or our future revenue does not increase coincident with amounts
previously projected and utilized to determine the fair value of our goodwill
and other intangible assets, a material goodwill impairment charge in the future
is possible.
Our
internal controls over financial reporting are not adequate and our independent
auditors may not be able to later certify as to their adequacy, which could
have
a significant and adverse effect on our business and
reputation.
Section
404 of Sarbanes-Oxley and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”) associated with Sarbanes-Oxley, which we refer to
as Section 404, require a reporting company to, among other things, annually
review and disclose its internal controls over financial reporting, and evaluate
and disclose changes in its internal controls over financial reporting
quarterly. Under Section 404 a reporting company is required to document and
evaluate such internal controls in order to allow its management to report
on,
and its independent auditors attest to, these controls. We are required to
comply with Section 404 not later than our fiscal year ending December 2007.
We
are currently evaluating our strategy to begin performing the system and process
documentation, evaluation and testing required (and any necessary remediation)
in an effort to comply with management certification and auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404. As
reported
in "Controls and Procedures" beginning at page 27 of the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB, filed with the Commission on April 17, 2006, we have concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures, and our financial reporting
controls, are currently ineffective. Further, in the course of our ongoing
evaluation, we may identify additional areas of our internal controls requiring
improvement, and plan to design enhanced processes and controls to address
issues that might be identified through this review. As a result, we expect
to
incur additional expenses and diversion of management's time. We cannot be
certain as to the timing of completion of our documentation, evaluation, testing
and remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations and may
not
be able to ensure that the process is effective or that the internal controls
are or will be effective in a timely manner. If we are not able to implement
the
requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance,
our
independent auditors may not be able to certify as to the effectiveness of
our
internal control over financial reporting and we may be subject to sanctions
or
investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Commission. As a result,
there could be an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of
confidence in the reliability of our financial statements. In addition, we
may
be required to incur costs in improving our internal control system and the
hiring of additional personnel. Any such actions could adversely affect our
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We
have a history of losses and negative cash flows from operations and we
anticipate such losses and negative cash flows will continue.
We
have
incurred significant losses since inception, and we anticipate continuing
to
incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our net losses for
the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $31,311,440 and $13,833,503,
respectively. Our net cash amount used for operating activities for these
same
periods was $10,998,391 and $8,642,847, respectively. As of September 30,
2006,
our accumulated deficit was $66,111,540. Our revenues may not grow or even
continue at their current level. We will need to significantly increase
our
revenues and gross margins to become profitable. In order to increase our
revenues, we need to attract and maintain customers to increase the fees
we
collect for our services. If our revenues do not increase as much as we
expect,
we may never be profitable. Even if our revenues increase, if we are unable
to
generate sufficiently profitable margins on these revenues, we may never
be
profitable. If we become profitable, we may not be able to sustain or increase
profitability.
We
have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate us.
We
have
only a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business
and
prospects. We commenced operations of our current business in 2004 and
the
majority of our operations are comprised of businesses we acquired in 2005.
You
should consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties
we may encounter as an early stage company in the new and rapidly evolving
market for internet protocol (IP) communications services. These risks
include
our ability:
|
·
|
to
successfully integrate our recent acquisitions;
|
|
·
|
to
increase acceptance of our VOIP communications services, thereby
increasing the number of users of our IP telephony services;
|
|
·
|
to
compete effectively, and;
|
|
·
|
to
develop new products and keep pace with developing technology.
|
In
addition, because we expect an increasing percentage of our revenues to
be
derived from our IP communications services, our past operating results
may not
be indicative of our future results.
We
may not be able to expand our revenue base and achieve profitability.
Our
business strategy is to expand our revenue sources by providing IP
communications services to several different customer groups. We can neither
assure you that we will be able to accomplish this nor that this strategy
will
be profitable. Approximately 30% of our consolidated revenues for the year
ended
December 31, 2005 were derived from one customer, and our gross margins
for
these revenues were negative. Currently, our revenues are generated by
providing termination services for other carriers and end users, from the
sales
of retail VOIP services to consumers, the wholesaling of prepaid calling
cards,
and from hardware product sales. These services have not been profitable
to date
and may not be profitable in the future.
In
the
future, we intend to generate increased revenues from IP communications
services
from multiple sources, many of which are unproven. We expect that our revenues
for the foreseeable future will be dependent on, among other factors:
|
·
|
acceptance
and use of IP telephony;
|
|
·
|
growth
in the number of our customers;
|
|
·
|
expansion
of service offerings;
|
|
·
|
traffic
levels on our network;
|
|
·
|
the
effect of competition, regulatory environment, international
long distance
rates and access and transmission costs on our prices, and;
|
|
·
|
continued
improvement of our global network quality.
|
We
cannot
assure you that a market for our services will develop. Our market is new
and
rapidly evolving. Our ability to sell our services may be inhibited by,
among
other factors, the reluctance of some end-users to switch from traditional
communications carriers to IP communications carriers and by concerns with
the
quality of IP telephony and the adequacy of security in the exchange of
information over the Internet, and the reluctance of our resellers and
service
providers to utilize outsourced solutions providers.
End-users
in markets serviced by recently deregulated telecommunications providers
are not
familiar with obtaining services from competitors of these providers and
may be
reluctant to use new providers, such as us. We will need to devote substantial
resources to educate customers and end-users about the benefits of IP
communications solutions in general and our services in particular. If
enterprises and their customers do not accept our enhanced IP communications
services as a means of sending and receiving communications, we will not
be able
to increase our number of paid users or successfully generate revenues
in the
future.
Potential
fluctuations in our quarterly financial results may make it difficult for
investors to predict our future performance.
Our
quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as
a
result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control.
Such
factors also may create other risks affecting our long-term success, as
discussed in the other risk factors. We believe that quarter-to-quarter
comparisons of our historical operating results may not be a good indication
of
our future performance, nor would our operating results for any particular
quarter be indicative of our future operating results.
Our
network may not be able to accommodate our capacity
needs.
We
expect
the volume of traffic we carry over our network to increase significantly
as we
expand our operations and service offerings. Our network may not be able
to
accommodate this additional volume. In order to ensure that we are able
to
handle additional traffic, we may have to enter into long-term agreements
for
leased capacity. To the extent that we overestimate our capacity needs,
we may
be obligated to pay for more transmission capacity than we actually use,
resulting in costs without corresponding revenues. Conversely, if we
underestimate our capacity needs, we may be required to obtain additional
transmission capacity from more expensive sources. If we are unable to
maintain
sufficient capacity to meet the needs of our users, our reputation could
be
damaged and we could lose customers and revenues.
Additionally,
our success depends on our ability to handle a large number of simultaneous
calls. We expect that the volume of simultaneous calls will increase
significantly as we expand our operations. If this occurs, additional stress
will be placed upon the network hardware and software that manages our
traffic.
We cannot assure stockholders of our ability to efficiently manage a large
number of simultaneous calls. If we are not able to maintain an appropriate
level of operating performance, or if our service is disrupted, then we
may
develop a negative reputation and our business, results of operations and
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We
may be unsuccessful selecting the most economical call
routing.
Our
telecommunications services segment relies on vendors to terminate calls.
Vendor
charges for these services vary by call route, and costs between vendors
for the
same routes vary. Because of the heavy volume of calls handled by our network,
automation of the call routing to the “least-cost” vendor for each route is
typically required to generate a positive gross margin. The Company is
currently
developing such automation, but may not be successful on its implementation
or
further maintenance, which would adversely affect the Company’s financial
performance.
We
face a risk of failure of computer and communications systems used in our
business.
Our
business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer
and communications systems as well as those that connect to our network.
We
maintain communications systems (also referred to as network access points)
in
facilities in Orlando, Atlanta, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles and we are
currently constructing a network access point in Chicago. Our systems and
those
that connect to our network are subject to disruption from natural disasters
or
other sources such as power loss, communications failure, hardware or software
malfunction, network failures and other events both within and beyond our
control. Any system interruptions that cause our services to be unavailable,
including significant or lengthy telephone network failures or difficulties
for
users in communicating through our network or portal, could damage our
reputation and result in a loss of users.
Our
computer systems and operations may be vulnerable to security breaches.
Our
computer infrastructure is potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic
computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptive problems and security
breaches that could cause interruptions, delays or loss of services to
our
users. We believe that the secure transmission of confidential information
over
the Internet, such as credit card numbers, is essential in maintaining
user
confidence in our services. We rely on licensed encryption and authentication
technology to effect secure transmission of confidential information, including
credit card numbers. It is possible that advances in computer capabilities,
new
technologies or other developments could result in a compromise or breach
of the
technology we use to protect user transaction data. A party that is able
to
circumvent our security systems could misappropriate proprietary information
or
cause interruptions in our operations. Security breaches also could damage
our
reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability.
Although we have experienced no security breaches to date of which we are
aware,
we cannot guarantee you that our security measures will prevent security
breaches.
Online
credit card fraud can harm our business.
The
sale
of our products and services over the Internet exposes us to credit card
fraud
risks. Some of our products and services can be ordered or established
(in the
case of new accounts) over the Internet using a major credit card for payment.
As is prevalent in retail telecommunications and Internet services industries,
we are exposed to the risk that some of these credit card accounts are
stolen or
otherwise fraudulently obtained. In general, we are not able to recover
fraudulent credit card charges from such accounts. In addition to the loss
of
revenue from such fraudulent credit card use, we also remain liable to
third
parties whose products or services are engaged by us (such as termination
fees
due telecommunications providers) in connection with the services which
we
provide. In addition, depending upon the level of credit card fraud we
experience, we may become ineligible to accept the credit cards of certain
issuers. We are currently authorized to accept American Express, Visa,
MasterCard, and Discover. The loss of eligibility for acceptance of credit
cards
could significantly and adversely affect our business. We will attempt
to manage
fraud risks through our internal controls and our monitoring and blocking
systems. If those efforts are not successful, fraud could cause our revenue
to
decline significantly and our business, financial condition and results
of
operations to be materially and adversely affected.
We
depend on highly qualified technical and managerial personnel.
Our
future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, retain
and
motivate highly qualified technical expertise and managerial personnel
necessary
to operate our businesses. We may need to give retention bonuses and stock
incentives to certain employees to keep them, which can be costly to us.
The
loss of the services of members of our management team or other key personnel
could harm our business. Our future success depends to a significant extent
on
the continued service of key management, client service, product development,
sales and technical personnel. We do not maintain key person life insurance
on
any of our executive officers and do not intend to purchase any in the
future.
Although we generally enter into non-competition agreements with our key
employees, our business could be harmed if one or more of our officers
or key
employees decided to join a competitor or otherwise compete with us.
We
may be
unable to attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified technical and
managerial personnel in the future. Wages for managerial and technical
employees
are increasing and are expected to continue to increase in the future.
We may
have difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with
appropriate qualifications. If we were unable to attract and retain the
technical and managerial personnel necessary to support and grow our businesses,
our businesses would likely be materially and adversely affected.
International
operations may expose us to additional and unpredictable
risks.
We
may
enter international markets such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin
America, Africa and Asia and may expand our existing operations outside
the
United States. International operations are subject to inherent risks,
including:
|
·
|
potentially
weaker protection of intellectual property rights;
|
|
·
|
political
and economic instability;
|
|
·
|
unexpected
changes in regulations and tariffs;
|
|
·
|
fluctuations
in exchange rates;
|
|
·
|
varying
tax consequences, and;
|
|
·
|
uncertain
market acceptance and difficulties in marketing efforts due to
language
and cultural differences.
|
Our
entry into new lines of business, as well as potential future acquisitions,
joint ventures or strategic transactions entail numerous risks and uncertainties
that could have an adverse effect on our business.
We
may
enter into new or different lines of business, as determined by management
and
our Board of Directors. Our acquisitions, as well as any future acquisitions
or
joint ventures could result, and in some instances have resulted, in numerous
risks and uncertainties including:
|
· |
potentially
dilutive issuances of equity securities, which may be issued
at the time
of the transaction or in the future if certain performance or
other
criteria are met or not met, as the case may be. These securities
may be
freely tradable in the public market or subject to registration
rights
which could require us to publicly register a large amount of
our common
stock, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock
price;
|
|
· |
diversion
of management's attention and resources from our existing businesses;
|
|
· |
significant
write-offs if we determine that the business acquisition does
not fit or
perform up to expectations;
|
|
· |
the
incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities or impairment charges
related to goodwill and other long-lived assets;
|
|
· |
difficulties
in the assimilation of operations, personnel, technologies, products
and
information systems of the acquired companies;
|
|
· |
regulatory
and tax risks relating to the new or acquired business;
|
|
· |
the
risks of entering geographic and business markets in which we
have limited
(or no) prior experience;
|
|
· |
the
risk that the acquired business will not perform as expected;
and
|
|
· |
material
decreases in short-term or long-term liquidity.
|
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY
Our
future success depends on the growth in the use of Internet Protocol as
a means
of communications.
If
the
market for IP communications, in general, and our services in particular,
does
not grow or does not grow at the rate we anticipate, we will not be able
to
increase our number of customers or generate the revenues we anticipate.
To be
successful, IP communications requires validation as an effective, quality
means
of communication and as a viable alternative to traditional telephone service.
Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services are subject
to a
high level of uncertainty. The Internet may not prove to be a viable alternative
to traditional telephone service for reasons including:
|
·
|
inconsistent
quality or speed of service;
|
|
·
|
potentially
inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure;
|
|
·
|
lack
of acceptable security technologies;
|
|
·
|
lack
of timely development and commercialization of performance improvements,
and;
|
|
·
|
unavailability
of cost-effective, high-speed access.
|
If
Internet usage grows, the Internet infrastructure may not be able to support
the
demands placed on it by such growth, or its performance or reliability
may
decline. In addition, Web sites may from time to time experience interruptions
in their service as a result of outages and other delays occurring throughout
the Internet network infrastructure. If these outages or delays frequently
occur
in the future, Internet usage, as well as usage of our communications portal
and
our services, could be adversely affected.
Intense
competition could reduce our market share and harm our financial performance.
Competition
in the market for IP communications services is becoming increasingly intense
and such competition is expected to increase significantly in the future.
The
market for Internet and IP communications is new and rapidly evolving.
We expect
that competition from companies both in the Internet and telecommunications
industries will increase in the future. Our competitors include both start-up
IP
telephony service providers and established traditional communications
providers. Many of our existing competitors and potential competitors have
broader portfolios of services, greater financial, management and operational
resources, greater brand-name recognition, larger subscriber bases and
more
experience than we have. In addition, many of our IP telephony competitors
use
the public Internet instead of a private network to transmit traffic. Operating
and capital costs of these providers may be less than ours, potentially
giving
them a competitive advantage over us in terms of pricing. We also compete
against the growing market of discount telecommunications services including
prepaid calling cards, call-back services, dial-around or 10-10 calling
and
collect calling services. In addition, some Internet service providers
have
begun to aggressively enhance their real time interactive communications,
focusing on instant messaging, PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone, and/or broadband
phone
services.
In
addition, traditional carriers, cable companies and satellite television
providers are bundling services and products not offered by us with internet
telephony services. While this provides us with the opportunity to offer
these
companies our products and services as a way for them to offer internet
telephony services, it also introduces the risk that they will introduce
these
services on their own utilizing other options while at the same time making
it
more difficult for us to compete against them with direct to consumer offerings
of our own. If we are unable to provide competitive service offerings,
we may
lose existing users and be unable to attract additional users. In addition,
many
of our competitors, especially traditional carriers, enjoy economies of
scale
that result in a lower cost structure for transmission and related costs,
which
cause significant pricing pressures within the industry. In order to remain
competitive we intend to increase our efforts to promote our services,
and we
cannot be sure that we will be successful in doing this.
In
addition to these competitive factors, recent and pending deregulation
in some
of our markets may encourage new entrants. We cannot assure you that additional
competitors will not enter markets that we plan to serve or that we will
be able
to compete effectively.
Decreasing
telecommunications rates may diminish our revenues and profitability.
International
and domestic telecommunications rates have decreased significantly over
the last
few years in most of the markets in which we operate, and we anticipate
that
rates will continue to be reduced in all of the markets in which we do
business
or expect to do business. Users who select our services to take advantage
of the
current pricing differential between traditional telecommunications rates
and
our rates may switch to traditional telecommunications carriers as such
pricing
differentials diminish or disappear, and we will be unable to use such
pricing
differentials to attract new customers in the future. In addition, our
ability
to market our carrier transmission services to telecommunications carriers
depends upon the existence of spreads between the rates offered by us and
the
rates offered by traditional telecommunications carriers, as well as a
spread
between the retail and wholesale rates charged by the carriers from which
we
obtain wholesale service. Continued rate decreases will require us to lower
our
rates to remain competitive could reduce our revenues and reduce or possibly
eliminate our gross profit from our carrier transmission services. If
telecommunications rates continue to decline, we may lose users for our
services.
We
may not be able to keep pace with rapid technological changes in the
communications industry.
Our
industry is subject to rapid technological change. We cannot predict the
effect
of technological changes on our business. In addition, widely accepted
standards
have not yet developed for the technologies we use. We expect that new
services
and technologies will emerge in the market in which we compete. These new
services and technologies may be superior to the services and technologies
that
we use, or these new services may render our services and technologies
obsolete.
To be successful, we must adapt to our rapidly changing market by continually
improving and expanding the scope of services we offer and by developing
new
services and technologies to meet customer needs. Our success will depend,
in
part, on our ability to license leading technologies and respond to
technological advances and emerging industry standards on a cost-effective
and
timely basis. We may need to spend significant amounts of capital to enhance
and
expand our services to keep pace with changing technologies.
Third
parties might infringe upon our proprietary technology.
We
cannot
assure you that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property
rights will prevent misappropriation of our proprietary technology. To
protect
our rights to our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of trademark
and trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual
arrangements with our employees, affiliates, strategic partners and others.
We
may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps
to
enforce, our intellectual property rights. Effective copyright and trade
secret
protection may not be available in every country in which we offer or intend
to
offer our services. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property
could harm our brand, devalue our proprietary content and affect our ability
to
compete effectively. Further, defending our intellectual property rights
could
result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
If
we are not able to obtain necessary licenses of third-party technology
at
acceptable prices, or at all, some of our products may become obsolete.
From
time
to time, we may be required to license technology from third parties to
develop
new products or product enhancements. Third-party licenses may not be available
or continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The
inability to maintain or re-license any third-party licenses required in
our
current products, or to obtain any new third-party licenses to develop
new
products and product enhancements could require us to obtain substitute
technology of lower quality or performance standards or at greater cost,
and
delay or prevent us from making these products or enhancements, any of
which
could seriously harm the competitiveness of our products. We currently
license
third party technology for products acquired through the WQN acquisition.
Government
regulation and legal uncertainties relating to IP telephony could harm
our
business.
Historically,
voice communications services have been provided by regulated telecommunications
common carriers. We offer voice communications to the public for international
and domestic calls using IP telephony. Based on specific regulatory
classifications and recent regulatory decisions, we believe we qualify
for
certain exemptions from telecommunications common carrier regulation in
many of
our markets. However, the growth of IP telephony has led to close examination
of
its regulatory treatment in many jurisdictions making the legal status
of our
services uncertain and subject to change as a result of future regulatory
action, judicial decisions or legislation in any of the jurisdictions in
which
we operate. Established regulated telecommunications carriers have sought
and
may continue to seek regulatory actions to restrict the ability of companies
such as ours to provide services or to increase the cost of providing such
services. In addition, our services may be subject to regulation if regulators
distinguish phone-to-phone telephony service using IP technologies over
privately-managed networks such as our services from integrated PC-to-PC
and
PC-originated voice services over the Internet. Some regulators may decide
to
treat the former as regulated common carrier services and the latter as
unregulated enhanced or information services. Application of new regulatory
restrictions or requirements to us could increase our costs of doing business
and prevent us from delivering our services through our current arrangements.
In
such event, we would consider a variety of alternative arrangements for
providing our services, including obtaining appropriate regulatory
authorizations for our local network partners or ourselves, changing our
service
arrangements for a particular country or limiting our service offerings.
Such
regulations could limit our service offerings, raise our costs and restrict
our
pricing flexibility, and potentially limit our ability to compete effectively.
Further, regulations and laws which affect the growth of the Internet could
hinder our ability to provide our services over the Internet.
Recent
regulatory enactments by the FCC will require us to provide enhanced Emergency
911 dialing capabilities to our subscribers as part of our standard VOIP
services and to comply with certain notification requirements with respect
to
such capabilities, these requirements will result in increased costs and
risks
associated with the delivery of our VOIP services.
On
June
3, 2005, the FCC released the "IP-Enabled Services and E911 Requirements
for
IP-Enabled Service Providers, First Report and Order and Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking" (the "E911 Order"). The E911 Order requires, among other things,
that VOIP service providers that interconnect to the public switched telephone
network ("Interconnected VOIP Providers") supply enhanced emergency 911
dialing
capabilities ("E911") to their subscribers no later than 120 days from
the
effective date of the E911 Order. The effective date of the E911 Order
is July
29, 2005. As part of such E911 capabilities, Interconnected VOIP Providers
are
required to reproduce the 911 emergency calling capabilities offered by
traditional landline phone companies. Specifically, all Interconnected
VOIP
Providers must deliver 911 calls to the appropriate local public safety
answering point ("PSAP"), along with call back number and location, where
the
PSAP is able to receive that information. Such E911 capabilities must be
included in the basic service offering of the Interconnected VOIP Providers;
it
cannot be an option or extra feature. The PSAP delivery obligation, along
with
call back number and location information must be provided regardless of
whether
the service is "fixed" or "nomadic." User registration of location is
permissible initially, although the FCC is committed to an advanced form
of E911
that will determine user location without user intervention, one of the
topics
of the further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to be released.
Additionally,
the E911 Order required that, by July 29, 2005 (the effective date of the
E911
Order), each Interconnected VOIP Provider must have: (1) specifically advised
every new and existing subscriber, prominently and in plain language, of
the
circumstances under which the E911 capabilities service may not be available
through its VOIP services or may in some way be limited by comparison to
traditional landline E911 services; (2) obtained and kept a record of
affirmative acknowledgement from all subscribers, both new and existing,
of
having received and understood the advisory described in the preceding
item (1);
and (3) distributed to its existing subscribers warning stickers or other
appropriate labels warning subscribers if E911 service may be limited or
not
available and instructing the subscriber to place them on or near the equipment
used in conjunction with the provider's VOIP services. We have complied
with the
requirements set forth in the preceding items (1) and (3). However, despite
engaging in significant efforts, as of October 12, 2005, we had received
the
affirmative acknowledgements required by the preceding item (2) from less
than
15% of our VOIP subscribers.
On
July
26, 2005, noting the efforts made by Interconnected VOIP Providers to comply
with the E911 Order's affirmative acknowledgement requirement, the Enforcement
Bureau of the FCC (the "EB") released a Public Notice communicating that,
until
August 30, 2005, it would not initiate enforcement action against any
Interconnected VOIP Provider with respect to such affirmative acknowledgement
requirement on the condition that the provider file a detailed report with
the
FCC by August 10, 2005. The report must set forth certain specific information
relating to the provider's efforts to comply with the requirements of the
E911
Order. Furthermore, the EB stated its expectation that that if an Interconnected
VOIP Provider has not received such affirmative acknowledgements from 100%
of
its existing subscribers by August 29, 2005, then the Interconnected VOIP
Provider would disconnect, no later than August 30, 2005, all subscribers
from
whom it has not received such acknowledgements. On August 26, 2005, the
EB
released another Public Notice communicating that it would not, until September
28, 2005, initiate enforcement action regarding the affirmative acknowledgement
requirement against those providers that: (1) previously filed reports
on or
before August 10, 2005 in accordance with the July 26 Public Notice; and
(2)
file two separate updated reports with the FCC by September 1, 2005 and
September 22, 2005 containing certain additional required information relating
to such provider's compliance efforts with respect to the E911 Order's
requirements. The EB further stated in the second Public Notice its expectation
that, during the additional period of time afforded by the extension, all
Interconnected VOIP Providers that qualified for such extension would continue
to use all means available to them to obtain affirmative acknowledgements
from
all of their subscribers.
Our
VOIP
services that are subject to the E911 Order do not presently account for
a
material portion of our current VOIP revenues.
With
the
recent acquisition on WQN, Inc.'s VOIP assets we confirmed that
WQN filed and complied with the E911 order. We filed the required
acknowledgment letter relating to WQN RocketVOIP subscribers on October
25,
2005.
Even
assuming our full compliance with the E911 Order, such compliance and our
efforts to achieve such compliance, will increase our cost of doing business
in
the VOIP arena and may adversely affect our ability to deliver our VOIP
telephony services to new and existing customers in all geographic regions.
Our
products must comply with industry standards, FCC regulations, state,
country-specific and international regulations, and changes may require
us to
modify existing products.
In
addition to reliability and quality standards, the market acceptance of
telephony over broadband IP networks is dependent upon the adoption of
industry
standards so that products from multiple manufacturers are able to communicate
with each other. There is currently a lack of agreement among industry
leaders
about which standard should be used for a particular application, and about
the
definition of the standards themselves. These standards, as well as audio
and
video compression standards, continue to evolve. We also must comply with
certain rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC)
regarding electromagnetic radiation and safety standards established by
Underwriters Laboratories, as well as similar regulations and standards
applicable in other countries. Standards are continuously being modified
and
replaced. As standards evolve, we may be required to modify our existing
products or develop and support new versions of our products. The failure
of our
products to comply, or delays in compliance, with various existing and
evolving
industry standards could delay or interrupt volume production of our IP
telephony products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and operating results.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR STOCK
Because
many of our current financing agreements contain “favored nations” clauses,
future securities issuances at prices below contractual thresholds may
trigger
price ratchets that could decrease the exercise price or conversion rate
of our
existing convertible debt and warrants, significantly diluting existing
shareholders.
Many
of
our existing convertible debt and warrant agreements contain “favored nations”
clauses, whereby the related conversion or exercise prices automatically
ratchet
downward to match potentially more favorable terms issued to new security
holders. This has the effect of increasing the number of our common shares
issuable upon the assumed conversion or exercise of our existing convertible
debt and warrants. At September 30, 2006 existing conversion or exercise
prices
related to financing agreements with favored nations clauses have been
ratcheted
to as low as $0.26 per share. If future issuances of securities are made
at
conversion or exercise prices with terms more favorable that this, existing
shareholders could be significantly diluted.
Our
stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.
The
market for technology stocks in general and our common stock in particular,
has
been and will likely continue to be extremely volatile. The following factors
could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly:
|
·
|
the
addition or loss of any major customer;
|
|
·
|
changes
in the financial condition or anticipated capital expenditure
purchases of
any existing or potential major customer;
|
|
·
|
quarterly
variations in our operating results;
|
|
·
|
changes
in financial estimates by securities analysts;
|
|
·
|
speculation
in the press or investment community;
|
|
·
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new products
or
acquisitions, distribution partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
|
·
|
sales
of common stock or other securities by us or by our shareholders
in the
future;
|
|
·
|
securities
and other litigation;
|
|
·
|
announcement
of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar
event;
|
|
·
|
economic
conditions for the telecommunications, networking and related
industries;
and
|
We
do not expect to pay dividends.
We
do not
anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future. We intend to retain profits, if any, to fund growth and expansion.
We
do not have sufficient authorized shares.
Our
authorized shares of stock consist of 100,000,000 shares of common stock.
As of
September 30, 2006, 72,509,102 common shares were issued and outstanding,
and
approximately 173,000,000 additional shares are contingently issuable upon
the
exercise of stock options and warrants, or conversion of convertible securities.
A preliminary proxy statement was filed on November 9, 2006 in connection
with our annual meeting of shareholders, in which a proposal was submitted
to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 400,000,000 shares.
If such
proposal is not approved, we will be unable to satisfy the contractual
obligations we have undertaken to issue future shares of common stock. As
of September 30, 2006 we are also contractually obligated to register
approximately 165 million shares, warrants and options. There is no assurance
that sufficient registration statements can be filed or declared effective
by
the SEC, in which case we would continue to be unable to satisfy our contractual
obligations to register shares.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will receive the exercise price of the options when exercised by the holders
thereof. Such proceeds will be used for working capital purposes. We will not
receive any of the proceeds from the reoffer and resale of the shares of common
stock by the selling stockholders.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
This
prospectus relates to the reoffer and resale of shares of our common stock

DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling
the
Company, we have been advised that it is the SEC's opinion that such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The
Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that no director of the Company
will
be personally liable to the Company or any of its shareholders for monetary
damages arising from the director's breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
with
certain limited exceptions.
Pursuant
to the Texas Business Corporation Act (the "Act"), every Texas corporation
has
the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of
the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the
corporation or is or was serving in such a capacity at the request of the
corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other
enterprise, against any and all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit
or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in
good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best
interests, or not opposed to the best interests, of the corporation and,
with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe
his or her conduct was unlawful.
The
power
to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation
as
well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to
any
satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the
further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made
in the
event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct unless
the court, in its discretion, believes that in light of all the circumstances
indemnification should apply.
The
Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions authorizing
it
to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by
the
Securities Act.

9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
|
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a
post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
|
|
|
To
include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3)
of
the Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
|
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to
Rule
424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more
than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
|
|
|
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement;
|
|
|
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
|
|
|
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the
offering.
|
|
|
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under
the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the
securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary
offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to
this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used
to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
or sold to
such purchaser by means of any of the following communications,
the
undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be
considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
|
|
|
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
|
|
|
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or
on behalf
of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
registrant;
|
|
|
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned registrant
or its
securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant;
and
|
|
|
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the
purchaser.
|
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall
be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has
been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of
such issue.
SIGNATURES
In
accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of
the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 Amendment No.1 and authorized this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida on November
14,
2006.
