Omnicity Corp.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

On February 17, 2009, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Omnicity, Incorporated. Omnicity, Incorporated (incorporated on August 13, 2003) provides broadband access, including advanced services of voice, video and data, in un-served and underserved small and rural markets and is planning to be a consolidator of rural market broadband nationwide.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated substantial revenues but has sustained losses since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary debt and/or equity financing to fund its growth strategy, pay debt when due, to continue operations, and to attain profitability. As at October 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of 4,122,932 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,614,279. All of these factors combined raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Although the Company is operationally cash flow positive as at October 31, 2010, the Company must continue to address its liquidity and working capital issues. The Company continues to raise additional capital through the issuance of short-term and long-term debt and equity to private investors to maintain its aggressive acquisition strategy, increase its organic growth and to repay principal and interest when due. Management believes this additional capital and the expanded customer base through acquisitions and organic growth will provide the Company the opportunity to increase its operational cash flow and ultimately to be profitable over the next twelve months.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Unaudited Financial Statements

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions for SEC Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 included in the Company’s Form 10K filed on November 17, 2010 with the SEC. The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations for the three months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.


Fair Value

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of notes payable and convertible debentures.   Notes payable and convertible debentures are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value.  The Company determines the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations. The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), previously referred to as SFAS No. 157.  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. ASC 820-10-35, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Subsequent Measurement” (“ASC 820-10-35”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10-35 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.  The Company also follows ASC 825 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, previously referred to as FAS 107-1 to expand required disclosures.

ASC 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10-35 are described below:

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation based on estimated useful lives utilizing the straight-line method. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the construction of new transmission facilities. Capitalized construction costs include materials, labor and interest. The Company’s methodology for capitalization of internal construction labor and internal and contracted third party installation costs (including materials) utilizes actual costs. Materials and external labor costs associated with construction activities are capitalized based on amounts invoiced to the Company by third parties.

Computers and wireless equipment also consists of spare equipment and supplies not put in use such as radios, antennas, cable and wire and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market.  The spare electronic equipment is maintained to provide replacement parts when and if needed in a short time period to provide minimal service disruption to customers in the event of a parts failure and to install new customers’ premises equipment timely when ordered. Spare equipment and supplies are not depreciated until put into use. 

Improvements that extend asset lives are capitalized. Other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Estimated useful lives for property and equipment are as follows:

Description Life
   
Computer and wireless equipment  3 years
Towers and infrastructures  5 years
Furniture and fixtures  7 years
Vehicles  5 years
Software  3 years


The Company periodically evaluates the useful lives of its property and equipment. The Company’s property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the related assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the assets. No impairment was recorded at October 31, 2010 or July 31, 2010.

Customers’ Relationships

Customers’ relationships represent the value attributed to customers’ relationships acquired in asset acquisitions and are amortized over a 7-year period.

Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever current events and circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment requires a high degree of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. If the carrying amount is greater than the expected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. The Company generally measures fair value based upon the present value of estimated future net cash flows of an asset group over its remaining useful life.

Revenue Recognition

The Company charges a recurring subscription fee for providing wireless broadband services to its subscribers. Revenue from service is recognized as monthly services are rendered in accordance with individual customer arrangements. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers whose accounts are delinquent for a specified number of days. Consistent with SFAS No. 51, installation revenue obtained from the connection of subscribers to the system is recognized in the period installation services are provided to the extent of related direct selling costs. Any remaining amount is deferred and recognized over the estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the system. From time to time, the Company enters into barter arrangements whereby it provides certain customers with wireless broadband services in exchange for use of towers and equipment owned by customers. Revenue and expenses recorded under barter arrangements was $31,674  (2009 - $22,554).

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. There were no stock options or common equivalent shares outstanding at October 31, 2010 and 2009 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. Total potentially dilutive common shares, relating to stock purchase warrants issuable in the future, as at October 31, 2010 totals 10,666,730 including 5,614,929 common shares issuable on the exercise of warrants, 4,285,714 common shares issuable if the $1,500,000 convertible debenture is converted into common shares at $0.35 per share and 766,087 common shares to be issued in connection with the completion of two asset purchase agreements.

Plan of Operations

Our business plan is to be a rural wireless internet service provider in the United States through a consolidation strategy and organic growth of all acquired business units and to partner with REMCs, Telcos and local governments for nationwide marketing. We also plan to partner with regional and national telecommunication companies for the delivery of voice services and complete negotiations and logistics of DirecTV resell agreements. We further plan to partner with local governments to provide essential services, including mobile internet for emergency mobile communications, fire and police and to establish new utility applications such as automated meter reading. We plan to bring WISP based services to rural America through three distinct market channels: (1) Telco and Electric partnerships, (2) strategic acquisitions and (3) local government and private enterprise partnerships.

Utilizing our relationship with the REMCs and "value added" institutional services and facilities we provide for municipalities and local governments, we plan to organize and consolidate within the rural broadband market initially in Indiana and then in the Midwestern United States and ultimately nationwide. Collaborations with both the REMCs and municipalities may act as effective barriers for competition and provide additional sources of revenue and customer service for the REMCs and municipalities as well as income and cash flow for our company. The bundling of broadband services, including internet, voice, and video, in partnership with rural electric and/or municipal services provides an opportunity to imbed, cross promote, and extend services in collaboration with these institutional providers.

Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to:

Future Financing Requirements

  • develop and expand, through organic growth, the subscriber base through our sales and marketing programs, to increase our number of  sales teams in the field, and to launch new marketing initiatives tailored to specific markets;
  • acquire, and transition into our operations assets of competing WISP operators and expand our network in Indiana , Ohio, and other states, and continue expansion into all of Midwest USA by identifying strategic regional acquisitions;
  • launch the next generation of WiMax equipment in all new builds and in all rebuild opportunities to standardize Omnicity networks with carrier grade deployments;
  • increase operational cash flow to over $250,000 per month and build a liquidity floor under operations of $200,000 minimum by  July 31, 2011;
  • continue to partner with Rural Electric Membership Cooperatives "REMCs", local and State governments, Rural Telcos and Original Equipment Manufacturers "OEMs" to efficiently and cost effectively expand our network across rural America; and
  • develop and expand our service offerings to become a total broadband solution including VOIP and video.

At October 31, 2010, we had cash of $1,000 and a working capital deficit of $4,123,000.  A total of $165,000 was loaned to the Company by related parties during the three months ended October 31, 2010. We estimate that approximately $6 million will be required during the remainder of the year ended July 31, 2011 to finance our short-term working capital deficit and to finance the expansion of, and the addition of subscribers through acquisition to, our existing and to be acquired network infrastructures. A total of $1 million will be required for working capital purposes, $1.5 million for organic growth and $3.5 million for acquisitions. Upon closing our second large acquisition in Ohio at the end of March, 2010, and with a reduction of employees, we became operationally cash flow positive and will require no additional funds to finance operational deficits. We will continue to seek a combination of equity and long-term debt financing as well as other traditional cash flow and asset backed financing to meet our financing needs and to reduce our overall cost of capital. Additionally, in order to accelerate our growth rate and to finance general corporate activities, we may supplement our existing sources of funds with financing arrangements at the operating system level or through additional borrowings, joint ventures or other off balance sheet arrangements. As a further capital resource, we may sell or lease certain wireless rights or assets from our portfolio as appropriate opportunities become available. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing, on acceptable terms or at all.

Current Financing Arrangements

We are currently in negotiations to raise $1 million to $3 million under a capital lease program with private investors to fund our acquisitions and organic growth. We expect to close this financing by December 31, 2010. We are also in negotiations to raise $2.5 million in equity with private investors. In addition to the proposed equity injection of $2.5 million, expected to complete by December 31, 2010, a commitment for three additional tranches of $2. 5 million, $7.5 million in total, will be made. These additional financings will be in the form of convertible debentures to be funded when the Company needs the funds.


We will continue to seek traditional cash flow and asset backed financing to supplement our efforts discussed above and to reduce our overall cost of capital. Additionally, in order to accelerate our growth rate and to finance general corporate activities, we may supplement our existing sources of funds with financing arrangements at the operating system level or through additional borrowings, joint ventures or other off balance sheet arrangements. As a further capital resource, we may sell or lease certain wireless rights or assets from our portfolio as appropriate opportunities become available. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional financing, on acceptable terms or at all.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) included under Item 1 in this Form 10-Q.

Revenues

The Company's revenues for 2010 increased by $645,000 to $1,262,000 (2009 - $617,000) an increase of 105%. These significant increases were achieved mainly through our Lightspeed and BrightChoice Ohio acquisitions and through organic growth. The number of subscribers stayed constant at 11,500 during the three months ended October 31, 2010. This subscriber count does not differentiate a subscriber, for example, one school, hospital or business subscriber is counted as one subscriber. On an equivalent subscriber unit basis we stayed constant at 12,350 during the three months ended October 31, 2010. This is important to note because going forward the Company will be adding schools, hospitals and business accounts at an accelerated rate. The Company receives revenue mainly from monthly service and modem rental fees collected from its subscribers. The Company’s installation revenue, while representing 6% of revenues currently, is expected to increase rapidly as we complete current financing arrangements and, as a result, we expand our marketing efforts. The Company also receives web hosting fees, fiber construction project fees and late fees which together represent less than 1% of total revenue. The Company expects revenues to increase rapidly as a result of organic growth, planned acquisitions and increase in average revenue per unit (“ARPU”).


Operational Expenses

Operational expenses include service costs, plant and signal delivery, marketing and sales, general and administration and salaries and benefits, stock based compensation and depreciation and amortization.

Service costs include the cost of billing and collection, the cost of buying DSL service and the cost of providing Lifeline and satellite services in Ohio. During 2010, service costs increased by $74,000 to $88,000 (2009 - $14,000). This increase was due mainly to the acquisition of Bright Choice, Inc. in Ohio. Approximately two-thirds of Bright Choice revenue comes from satellite and Lifeline services which started in April, 2010. The increase also comes from an increase in the number of customers accounts offset by a decrease in the cost of collection.

Plant and signal delivery expenses include the rental of towers, the cost of internet transmission (“backhaul”) the cost of installing equipment on the towers and at customers’ premises (“housedrops”) and the operating lease costs of housedrop or tower equipment. We currently have a portfolio of transmission rights covering 452 tower sites located principally in Indiana and Ohio. These markets represent approximately 434,000 households, approximately 369,000 of which are believed to be serviceable by line-of-sight transmissions from Omnicity antenna locations. During 2010, plant and signal delivery expenses increased by $101,000 to $439,000 (2009 - $338,000), an increase of 30%. The increase in revenues was 105% during this period. As subscribers are added to the network the incremental cost of providing our signal to that subscriber is lower. This increase was due mainly to the increase in the number of towers under rental arrangements, the amount of backhaul needed to service the increase in subscribers, the increase in tower and customer premises equipment being leased pursuant to operating lease arrangements and the increase in customer installations. Plant and signal delivery costs per customer will significantly decrease as the Company populates its towers with customers. The Company, on average, has a penetration of approximately 4% of homes passed whereas the minimum target penetration is at least 20% (>74,000 subscribers) which is the penetration rate in the Wabash REMC coverage area.

Marketing and sales expenses include REMC fees, advertising and preparation of marketing materials. During 2010, marketing and sales expenses stayed constant at $2,000. Marketing and sales expenses are expected to significantly increase during 2011 as the Company increases its marketing plan to significantly increase organic growth. The Company now has four full-time sales people, which costs are included in salaries and benefits.

General and administration expenses include professional fees (legal, audit, accounting and outside professional consulting), investor relations consulting fees, office expenses (including rent, property tax, utilities, telephone and insurance), travel and automobile, software fees and fees associated with late payments and bank charges. During 2010, general and administration expenses decreased by $122,000 to $171,000 (2009 - $294,000), a decrease of 42%. Travel and automobile expenses decreased by $7,000 to $13,000 (2009 - $20,000); fees associated with late payments and bank charges increased by $7,000 to $21,000 (2009 - $14,000); telephone costs increased by $7,000 to $28,000 (2009 - $21,000); rent increased by $6,000 to $26,000 (2009 - $20,000); investor relations expenses decreased by $105,000 to $5,000 (2009 - $110,000) and professional fees decreased by $20,000 to $14,000 (2009 - $34,000). General and administration expenses are not expected to increase significantly in 2011 in relation to increased revenue. As the Company grows, general and administration expenses become significantly lower on a percentage of revenue basis.

Salaries and benefits for 2010 have increased by $112,000 to $523,000 (2009 - $411,000) an increase of 27% while revenue increased by 105%. This increase is mainly due to the additional costs associated with hiring of senior and middle management to oversee the acquisition, marketing, financial reporting and operations teams. Our staff has been rationalized during the quarter ended July 31, 2010 and staffing levels have remained constant at 49 full-time employees as at October 31, 2010. The Company does not expect to increase its number of employees significantly during 2011, except for certain key people to be brought on as a result of acquisitions and increasing the number of marketing teams we have in current and new regions brought on through acquisitions. Installations are now contracted out to an independent contractor. The Company continues to upgrade its employees as better trained personnel become available through acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization for 2010 increased by $145,000 to $316,000 (2009 - $170,000). This increase was attributed to an increase in amortization of customers’ relationships of $53,000 to $122,000 (2009 - $69,000) and an increase in depreciation of our network system, automobiles, software and office equipment of $92,000 to $193,000 (2009 - $101,000).


Other Income and Expense

Interest expense for 2010 increased by $40,000 to $118,000 (2009 - $78,000). The increase was a result of increased short-term and long-term debt levels. Interest expense will increase in 2010 as the Company plans to finance a portion of its growth through the issuance of debt instruments. The Company will also issue short-term and long-term notes as part consideration of planned acquisitions.

Financing expenses are costs associated with consultants hired to secure additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company. Once equity financing is secured the related cost will reduce the proceeds of the equity instrument issued. Financing expense for 2010 increased by $11,000 to $11,000 (2009 - $nil). The increase was a result of the Company hiring financial consultants to assist the Company in raising capital.

Net Loss

The net loss for 2010 decreased by $244,000 to $400,000 (2009 - $644,000). This decrease in loss was due to the 105% increase in revenues while expenses increased at a lower rate and will continue to increase at an incrementally lower rate, as a percentage of revenue, as we expand through acquisitions and organic growth. To highlight this trend our first quarter earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was positive $40,000 as compared to a negative $17,000 fourth quarter 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company completed its acquisition of Omnicity, Incorporated on February 17, 2009. Prior to this the Company was a dormant early exploration stage company with no operations. Since then, the Company's acquisition and transition teams have acquired and folded in ten WISP's increasing its subscriber base from 1,800 to 11,500 as at October 31, 2010. See discussion under “Revenues” above for our increase in cash flow from our customers.

Cash to Operating Activities

During 2010, operating activities generated cash of $137,000 (2009 – used cash of $288,000). Our loss for 2010 was $400,000 (2009 - $644,000), which included: a non-cash outlay for interest expense accreted of $27,000 (2009 - $nil); expenses settled with equity or debt $43,000 (2009 - $nil); depreciation and amortization of $316,000 (2009 - $170,000); for a net cash outflow of $15,000 (2009 - $474,000) before changes in working capital items. Our accounts receivable have increased by $10,000 (2009 – decreased by $13,000) due to our increase in customer base in Indiana during 2009 and Indiana and Ohio during 2010. Prepaid expenses decreased by $9,000 (2009 – $109,000). Our accounts payable and accrued liabilities have increased by $153,000 (2009 - $64,000) due to our operations being partially financed by our creditors. We plan to decrease our reliance on creditor support as we secure additional financing. 

Cash to Investing Activities

Our business is a capital intensive business. Since inception, the Company has expended funds to lease or otherwise acquire transmission site rights in various locations and markets, to construct the existing network tower infrastructures and house drops to the customers’ premises and to finance initial operating losses. The Company intends to expand the existing systems and launch additional wireless systems and will require additional funds. The Company estimates that a launch by it of a wireless internet provider system in a typical new tower location will involve the expenditures for wireless internet system transmission equipment and incremental installation costs per subscriber for customer premise equipment. As a result of these costs, operating losses are likely to be incurred by a system during the roll-out period.


During 2010, investing activities used net cash of $254,000 (2009 - $126,000). We acquired tower and customers’ premises equipment totalling $223,000 (2009 - $122,000). We increased our cost of customers’ relationships by $31,000 (2009 - $nil). 

Cash from Financing Activities

During 2010, financing activities provided cash of $78,000 (2009 - $1,015,000). Proceeds of nil (2009 - $1,020,000) was received from common stock subscriptions. During 2010, proceeds of $165,000 (2009 - $149,000) were received from short-term loans and $nil (2009 - $37,000) from long-term debt. We repaid $87,000 (2009 - $191,000) of short-term debt, long-term debt and capital lease obligations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Greg Jarman our principal executive officer and Don Prest, our principal financial officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, due to the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting as described below. 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

The management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on this assessment, management determined that, during the quarter ended October 31, 2010, our internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules, as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies in the design or operation of the Company’s internal control that adversely affected the Company’s internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. 

Management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

1.       The Company has limited segregation of duties which is not consistent with good internal control procedures.

2.       The Company does not have a written internal control procedurals manual which outlines the duties and reporting requirements of the Directors and any staff to be hired in the future.  This lack of a written internal control procedurals manual does not meet the requirements of the SEC or good internal controls.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items 1 and 2 above did not have an affect on the Company’s financial results.

The Company and its management will endeavor to correct the above noted weaknesses in internal control once it has adequate funds to do so. 

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended October 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
