Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – Organization and Business

eLandia International Inc. (“eLandia,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and/or “our”), through its subsidiaries, sells information and communications technology (“ICT”) products and provides professional IT services including technology solutions, business practice solutions and advanced services, and offers telecommunications products and services in emerging markets, including Latin America and the South Pacific. The products and services we offer in each of these markets vary depending on the infrastructure, existing telecommunication and data communications systems and the needs of the local economy.

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011, and for the three months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements; however, these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC.

NOTE 3 – Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans

We incurred a $2.5 million loss from continuing operations, net of income tax expense, and used $0.2 million of cash in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, we have a $192.8 million accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $17.4 million.

Our net loss includes an aggregate of $1.4 million of net non-cash charges, principally consisting of $2.2 million of foreign currency loss and $1.6 million of depreciation and amortization, offset by $2.9 million of negative goodwill arising from the acquisition of SamoaTel (see Note 6).

Our sources of funds include cash from external financing arrangements, including term loans in the amount of $22.2 million and a revolving line of credit facility of up to $6.5 million from ANZ Finance American Samoa, Inc. (“ANZ Finance”), various lines of credit with multiple local banks in South and Central America and financing of trade payables provided by our principal supplier.

Additional sources of funds include a $5 million Exclusivity Advance received from Amper, S.A. (“Amper”) and a $5.5 million advance received from Medidata Informática, S.A. (“Medidata”). In April 2011, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Medidata whereby we received an additional $6 million.

As more fully described in Note 6, on March 31, 2011, we consummated the closing under a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement with The Government of the Independent State of Samoa pursuant to which Bluesky SamoaTel Investments Limited (“BSI”), a subsidiary of AST Telecom, LLC (“AST”), acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding capital shares of SamoaTel Limited (“SamoaTel”) in exchange for $11 million. We own approximately 75% of BSI and the remaining 25% is owned by other financial investors. SamoaTel is a provider of telecommunications products and services in Samoa and offers a full range of services including fixed line, mobile, data and calling card services for homes and businesses in Samoa. Prior to this transaction, AST had no operations in Samoa, which is approximately 80 miles from America Samoa, where AST operates.

Additionally, as more fully described in Note 7, on March 31, 2011, we conducted a closing in escrow under the Contribution Agreement, whereby Amper will acquire 150,745,913 shares of our newly issued common stock in exchange for the contribution to eLandia of approximately 79.7% of the outstanding capital stock of Medidata.

Management believes that we will have sufficient working capital to sustain operations through at least April 1, 2012. The acquisition of Medidata and SamoaTel are expected to provide us with a significant working capital surplus in the future. However, there can be no assurance that the plans and actions proposed by management will be successful or that unforeseen circumstances will not require us to seek additional funding sources in the future or effectuate plans to conserve liquidity. In addition, there can be no assurance that in the event additional sources of funds are needed they will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Although the overall economy is showing signs of recovery, in particular in the markets we serve, the current macro-economic conditions create risk and our ability to measure and react to these issues will ultimately factor into our future success and ability to meet our business objectives and fulfill our business plan. In addition, if we are not able to sell our assets or our sources of revenue do not generate sufficient capital to fund operations, we will need to identify other sources of capital and/or we may be required to modify our business plan. Our inability to obtain needed debt and/or equity financing when needed or to generate sufficient cash from operations may require us to scale back our business plan and limit our planned growth and expansion activities, abandon projects and/or curtail capital expenditures. The current challenging economic conditions and the unusual events that have affected global financial markets have impaired our ability to identify and secure other sources of capital. At this time, we cannot provide any assurance that other sources of capital will be available.

In order to strengthen our cash position, we are attempting to enforce our collection terms more stringently than in the past and are also requiring customer advances and/or earlier payment terms for certain customers in certain markets. Additionally, in Venezuela, due to the economic challenges that exist in that marketplace, we have not had the liquidity and/or ability to pay down our payables on a timelier basis. As a result, we have been experiencing credit holds from our principal vendor in our Latin American segment, which has limited our ability to expand and/or operate our business. We are actively seeking additional working capital that will allow us to book sales irrespective of credit limitations that may be imposed by our vendors. If we cannot continue to strengthen our overall financial position, we may experience additional restrictions on our vendor credit. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 4 – Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eLandia and all of its wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. We have classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented the accounts of our operations in Fiji and certain eLandia predecessor companies that no longer conduct any operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The financial statements of our foreign operations are stated in foreign currencies, referred to as the functional currency except for Desca, where the functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. Functional currency assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency, U.S. Dollars, using period end rates of exchange and the related translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Functional statements of operations amounts expressed in functional currencies are translated using average exchange rates for the respective periods. Remeasurement adjustments and gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Reclassification

We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the financial position or results of operations reported as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: the valuation of SamoaTel, the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, the valuation of value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, the amount to be paid for the settlement of liabilities of discontinued operations, accrued expenses, the amount allocated to contract rights, customer lists, trade names and goodwill in connection with acquisitions, along with the estimated useful lives for amortizable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, warrants granted in connection with various financing transactions, and share-based payment arrangements.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect on the consolidated financial statements of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from our estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for cash discounts for prompt payment, doubtful accounts, and sales returns. Estimates for cash discounts and sales returns are based on contractual terms, historical trends and expectations regarding the utilization rates for these programs.

Our policy is to reserve for uncollectible accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Other factors that we consider include our existing contractual obligations, historical payment patterns of our customers and individual customer circumstances, an analysis of days sales outstanding by customer and geographic region, and a review of the local economic environment and its potential impact on the realizability of accounts receivable. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Our allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 amounted to approximately $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists predominantly of finished goods inventory, inclusive of technology equipment, products and accessories. The majority of our inventory is held waiting for configuration and delivery to customers based on received purchase orders. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is based on a weighted average or first-in-first-out method. All expenditures incurred in acquiring inventory including transportation and custom duties are included in inventory. Reserves for obsolete inventory are provided based on historical experience of a variety of factors including sales volume, product life, and levels of inventory at the end of the period.

Accounts Payable

Included in our accounts payable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is approximately $11.4 million and $21.1 million, respectively, of short-term vendor financed payables.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to eLandia by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share attributable to eLandia for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 includes 28,125 unexercised warrants, respectively, each with an exercise price of $.001 per share.

The computation of basic loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 excludes the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

As described in Note 7, on March 31, 2011, we placed 150,745,913 shares of our common stock to be issued to Amper and 1,512,000 shares of our common stock to be issued to executive management in escrow pending the completion of the Amper transaction.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (“ASU No. 2009-13”). ASU No. 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (“deliverables”) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements,” of the Codification for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. A selling price hierarchy is established for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. Additional disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements are also required by this update. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into, or materially modified, in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985) – Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements” (“ASU No. 2009-14”). ASU No. 2009-14 changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements to allow for alternatives when vendor-specific objective evidence does not exist. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality and hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition;” thus, these arrangements are excluded from this update. ASU No. 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU 2010-28”). ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test so that for those reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not based in an assessment of qualitative indicators that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exits, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 5 – Fair Value

We have determined the estimated fair value amounts presented in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. We have based these fair value estimates on pertinent information available as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value.

We have classified our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:

 

   

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

 

10


Table of Contents

eLandia International Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

 

   

Level 2 inputs utilize other-than-quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

   

Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are typically based on our own assumptions, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, we classify such financial asset or liability based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 classification. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 classification presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.

The following are the classes of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

NOTE 6 – Acquisition

On March 31, 2011, our wholly-owned subsidiary, AST, consummated the closing under a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement with The Government of the Independent State of Samoa (“Samoa”) pursuant to which, among other things, BSI, a subsidiary of AST, acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding capital shares of SamoaTel in exchange for $11 million. We own approximately 75% of BSI and the remaining 25% is owned by other financial investors. SamoaTel is a provider of telecommunications products and services in Samoa and offers a full range of services including fixed line, mobile, data and calling card services for homes and businesses in Samoa.

The acquisition of SamoaTel was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values, and operating results for SamoaTel were included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition of March 31, 2011. Accounting standards require that when the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price, resulting in negative goodwill, the acquirer must reassess the

(Unaudited)

 

reasonableness of the values assigned to all of the net assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred. We performed such a reassessment and concluded that the values assigned for the SamoaTel acquisition are reasonable. Consequently, we have recorded $2.9 million of negative goodwill arising from the acquisition of SamoaTel in the statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011. We believe the negative goodwill realized in acquisition accounting was the result of a number of factors, including viewing this as the best outcome for SamoaTel based on the bids received by Samoa.

The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis using information currently available. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be finalized during the third quarter of 2011, as more information is obtained regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions of preliminary estimates of fair values made at the date of purchase. The allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

 

Consideration Paid:

  

Cash Paid

   $ 11,000,000   
        

Recognized Amounts of Identifiable Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:

  

Total Current Assets

   $ 8,719,396   

Property, Plant and Equipment

     13,808,569   

Other Assets

     274,546   

Current Liabilities

     (4,259,692
        

Net Assets Acquired

     18,542,819   

Noncontrolling Interest

     (4,635,705

Negative Goodwill

     (2,907,114
        
   $ 11,000,000   
        

We have determined that pro forma results of operations for SamoaTel are not significant for inclusion.

Funding of the Acquisition

The acquisition of SamoaTel was funded through $5.5 million of debt, cash paid by AST in the amount of $1.9 million and cash paid by other investors in the amount of $3.6 million.

In connection with the closing of the SamoaTel Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, AST entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with ANZ Finance America Samoa, Inc. and ANZ Amerika Samoa Bank (jointly, “ANZ”), pursuant to which ANZ committed to provide financing of up to $5,500,000 in the form of a five year term loan described below (the “Loan”). In addition, ANZ committed to provide up to $3,500,000 in a two year letter of credit facility which AST may use to issue letters of credit to various vendors (the “Facility”) for capital improvements. AST is the borrower under the Loan Agreement and the Facility. The Loan and the Facility are principally secured by substantially all of the assets and operations of AST. The Loan bears interest at the rate of 2.5% above the prime rate. AST paid ANZ a fee of $82,500 at closing. At closing, AST borrowed the full amount available under the Loan and used the proceeds for the purchase of SamoaTel. In connection with the Loan Agreement and the Facility, we increased our existing guaranty and security agreements in favor of ANZ (respectively, the “Guaranty”) to include the amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement and the Facility. Pursuant to the Guaranty, we have unconditionally guaranteed the repayment and other obligations of AST under the Loan Agreement and the Facility. In connection with the Loan Agreement and the Facility, AST executed a stock pledge agreement of all of its interest in the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BSI.

Certain cross-default provisions contained in this Loan Agreement may be triggered by the violation of the interest coverage ratio on another of AST’s term loan. However, ANZ Finance has indicated they will not call the loan. We are currently in discussions with ANZ Finance to obtain a waiver for the interest coverage covenant violation.

A portion of the acquisition of SamoaTel was funded by $3.1 million in proceeds received from investors in exchange for preferred stock in BSI. Local investors purchased $2,558,248 of Series B preferred stock and $576,813 of Series C preferred stock. In addition to being entitled to receive ordinary dividends paid by BSI, the Series B preferred stock has an annual cumulative dividend of 7% through March 31, 2016. The Series C preferred stock has an annual cumulative dividend of 10% through March 31, 2016 which will increase to 20% if the shares are not redeemed. On March 31, 2011, BSI entered into loan agreements in the amount of $498,552 with two investors which are due on March 31, 2016. The proceeds of the loans were used for the acquisition of SamoaTel. In addition, the loan agreements grant the lenders the option to purchase shares in BSI. The prospective value of this option is estimated at $189,200 and is recorded in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011. The cash paid by the investors for BSI’s preferred stock has been recorded as a component of noncontrolling interest. Additionally, an executive of AST participated in the acquisition of SamoaTel by purchasing common and preferred stock in BSI for a total consideration of $400,000.

Noncontrolling interest of $8.4 million at March 31, 2011 represents the fair value of the noncontrolling interest related to the acquisition of SamoaTel and the investors’ noncontrolling interest in BSI.

NOTE 7 – Contribution Agreement

On July 29, 2010, we entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Amper. Pursuant to this Contribution Agreement, Amper agreed to acquire 150,745,913 shares of our newly issued common stock in exchange for the contribution to eLandia by Amper of approximately 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Hemisferio Norte Brasil, S.L. (“Hemisferio”). Hemisferio has one wholly-owned direct subsidiary, Hemisferio Sul Participaçoes Ltda. (“Hemisferio Sul”), and two indirect subsidiaries, Medidata and XC Comercial e Exportadora Ltda. (“XC”). Hemisferio Sul owns 88.96% of Medidata, and Medidata owns 100% of XC. Hemisferio, Hemisferio Sul, Medidata and XC are collectively referred to in the Contribution Agreement as the “Contributed Entities.” The shares of our common stock to be issued to Amper under the Contribution Agreement will represent approximately 85% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

On March 31, 2011, we executed and delivered certain closing documents under the Contribution Agreement subject to the closing documents being held in escrow pending the receipt from our transfer agent of a stock certificate representing 150,745,913 shares of our common stock issued in the name of Amper and stock certificates representing the 5,223,517 capital shares of Hemisferio transferred to the name of the Company, which transfer requires registration with certain Spanish and Brazilian authorities, and certain other related legal opinions. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement was subject to various conditions, all of which were satisfied, waived or deferred pursuant to the escrow arrangement prior to the closing, including: (i) obtaining the consent of the FCC, (ii) receipt of a fairness opinion from our investment bank, (iii) receipt of waivers executed by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer with respect to any severance obligations of the Company which may be triggered by the closing of the Contribution Agreement transactions, and (iv) receipt of a consent of the receiver for Stanford International Bank Ltd. (“SIBL”) to the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement. We expect that the requirements with respect to the recordation of the ownership of the Brazilian subsidiaries of Hemisferio will occur prior to the end of May 2011. Upon receipt of these pending items by the escrow agent, the escrowed materials will be released, the closing will be consummated and control will be transferred to the respective parties.

In connection with the closing of the Contribution Agreement transaction, on March 31, 2011 we entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement with Pete R. Pizarro, our Chief Executive Officer, (the “Pizarro Employment Agreement”) which will supersede and replace Mr. Pizarro’s prior employment agreement. The Pizarro Employment Agreement has an initial term of four years. As in his previous employment agreement, Mr. Pizarro will receive a base salary of $375,000 and may also receive an annual performance bonus of up to 100% of his base salary in accordance with criteria to be set by our Board of Directors in a written plan. As further inducement for Amper to enter into the Contribution Agreement, Mr. Pizarro agreed to waive certain rights including the vesting of 4,200,000 previously issued and partially vested stock options, and agreed to the cancellation thereof, as well as his right to terminate his prior employment agreement for “Good Reason” as a result of a change of control triggered by the Amper transaction and the severance payments to which Mr. Pizarro would be entitled to as a result thereof. Mr. Pizarro will be reissued options to purchase up to 4,200,000 shares of our common stock (the same amount as was cancelled by the Company), at the same exercise price of $0.45 per share and subject to a new vesting schedule. The options will vest as follows (i) 25% of the options will vest on the three year anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) 75% will vest equally, on a quarterly basis, over a 12-month period commencing on the three year anniversary of the grant date, if and only if Mr. Pizarro remains continuously employed by the Company from the date of the Pizarro Employment Agreement until each respective vesting date.

In exchange for and as consideration for the waiver of certain rights described above, Mr. Pizarro will receive the following: (a) 1,120,000 shares of Company common stock; and (b) $240,000 in cash which amount will be used in part to satisfy the income tax obligations related to such consideration.

In connection with the closing of the Contribution Agreement transaction, on March 31, 2011 we entered into an Amendment of Executive Employment Agreement with Harley L. Rollins, our Chief Financial Officer (the “Rollins Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to such amendment, the term of the Rollins Employment Agreement will be extended for a three-year term. Under the terms of the Rollins Employment Agreement, as amended, Mr. Rollins will receive an annual base salary of $250,000 and he may also receive an annual performance bonus of up to 50% of his base salary, based upon a written bonus plan to be approved by our Board of Directors. As further inducement for Amper to enter into the Contribution Agreement, Mr. Rollins agreed to waive certain rights including the vesting of 1,000,000 previously issued and partially vested stock options, and agreed to the cancellation thereof, as well as his right to terminate the Rollins Employment Agreement for “Good Reason” as a result of a change of control triggered by the Amper transaction and the severance payments to which Mr. Rollins would be entitled to as a result thereof. Mr. Rollins will be

reissued options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock (the same amount as was cancelled by the Company), at the same exercise price of $0.45 per share and subject to a new vesting schedule. The options will vest as follows: (i) 25% of the options will vest on the three year anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) 75% will vest equally, on a quarterly basis, over a twelve-month period commencing on the three year anniversary of the grant date, if and only if Mr. Rollins remains continuously employed by the Company from the date of the amendment until each respective vesting date.

In exchange for and as consideration for the waiver of certain rights described above, Mr. Rollins will receive the following: (a) 392,000 shares of Company common stock; and (b) 84,000 in cash which amount will be used in part to satisfy the income tax obligations related to such consideration.

Unaudited consolidated pro forma information giving effect to the acquisition of Medidata as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2011 is not presented due to the impracticability of obtaining this information as the transaction has not effectively closed and control has not been transferred to the respective parties. Approximate total tangible assets of Medidata as of December 31, 2010 amounted to $91.2 million. Approximate working capital at December 31, 2010 amounted to $56.1 million and revenues and earnings before taxes for the year 2010 were approximately $101.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Intangible assets consist of customer lists and contract rights, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We review the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. With respect to the valuation of our goodwill, we considered a variety of factors including the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. This requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of long-term rate of growth for our business, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital. Changes in those estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach.

NOTE 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Collapse of SIBL and its Affiliates

In early 2009, pursuant to an action brought by the SEC against SIBL and certain of its affiliates, including its owner Robert Allen Stanford, alleging, among other things, securities law fraud under both the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division issued orders to freeze the assets of SIBL and certain of its affiliates and to appoint a receiver to prevent the waste and disposition of such assets.

On May 15, 2009, the district court in Dallas ruled that the Antiguan liquidators for SIBL are entitled to seek Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection for SIBL under U.S. law. A Chapter 15 filing assists in resolving cases involving debtors, assets and claimants in multiple countries. The Antiguan liquidators for SIBL are seeking the authority to file for bankruptcy as a means of safeguarding SIBL’s assets. The Antiguan liquidators for SIBL and the U.S. Receiver have since agreed, subject to approval of the stipulation by the District Court for the Northern District of Texas and the Antiguan court, to settle the pending litigation between them regarding SIBL in the United States. The Antiguan liquidators will withdraw their petition for Recognition of Foreign Main Proceeding Pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and will not oppose or interfere with the U.S. Receiver’s status in the United States nor his efforts to take control of assets, and the proceeds of sale of assets, located in the United States.

On June 2, 2009, we received a letter from the U.S. receiver clarifying that the assets and business operations of eLandia and our subsidiaries are not part of the Stanford Financial Group Receivership Estate. The receiver’s letter did state that the voting trust certificates issued to SIBL, representing SIBL’s interest in the shares of our capital stock deposited in the Voting Trust, did constitute part of the Stanford Financial Group Receivership Estate.

On July 16, 2009, the receiver requested approval from the court to engage a private equity advisor to assist the receiver to properly manage the investments in the Receivership Estate, assess their value and identify potential buyers, thereby maximizing the value to the Receivership Estate. These investments include the voting trust certificates issued to SIBL representing SIBL’s interest in the shares of our capital stock deposited in the voting trust.

On March 24, 2011, the United States District Court issued a court order approving our motion to:

 

  (1) authorize SIBL’s receiver to act on SIBL’s behalf in connection with the matters addressed in the court order or related Modification Agreement between SIBL and eLandia;

 

  (2) direct SIBL’s receiver to agree to the termination of the Voting Trust Agreement;

 

  (3) convert the 4,118,263 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by SIBL into 1,801,740 shares of our common stock;

 

  (4) cancel the above 1,801,740 shares of our common stock owned by SIBL;

 

  (5) direct SIBL’s receiver to release eLandia from any claims that SIBL’s receiver or the Receivership Estate may have with respect to eLandia; and

 

  (6) direct SIBL’s receiver to refrain from taking any action in contravention to the Amper Transaction.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Contribution Agreement described in Note 7, on March 30, 2011, we terminated the Voting Trust Agreement. Under the Voting Trust Agreement, SIBL had placed 12,364,377 shares of our common stock and 4,118,263 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, representing all shares of our capital stock owned by SIBL, into a voting trust.

Upon the termination of the Voting Trust Agreement, the 12,364,377 shares of our common stock were reissued in the name of SIBL. In addition, the 4,118,263 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 1,801,740 shares of our common stock in accordance with the current conversion ratio as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock. Such 1,801,740 shares of our common stock were immediately cancelled as required by the terms of that certain Additional Modification Agreement, dated February 9, 2009, between SIBL and the Company. We obtained the consent and acknowledgment of the receiver for SIBL for the issuances and cancellation of shares described above.

Foreign Operations

Our operations in various geographic regions expose us to risks inherent in doing business in each of the countries in which we transact business. Operations in countries other than the United States are subject to various risks particular to each country. With respect to any particular country, these risks may include:

 

   

Expropriation and nationalization of our assets or of our customers in that country;

 

   

Political and economic instability;

 

   

Civil unrest, acts of terrorism, force majeure, war or other armed conflict;

 

   

Natural disasters including those related to earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and flooding;

 

   

Inflation;

 

   

Currency fluctuations, devaluations, conversion and expropriation restrictions;

 

   

Confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;

 

   

Governmental activities that limit or disrupt markets, payments, or limit the movement of funds;

 

   

Governmental activities that may result in the deprivation of contract rights; and

 

   

Trade restrictions and economic embargoes imposed by the United States and other countries.

Venezuela

In recent years Venezuela has experienced political challenges, difficult economic conditions, relatively high levels of inflation, and foreign exchange and price controls. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, and the government has nationalized or announced plans to nationalize certain industries and to expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition.

Since 2003, Venezuela has imposed currency controls and created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency (“CADIVI”) with the task of establishing detailed rules and regulations and generally administering the exchange control regime. These controls fix the exchange rate between the Bolivar and the U.S. Dollar, and restrict the ability to exchange Bolivar Fuertes for

 

16

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

 

U.S. Dollars and vice versa. The near-term effect has been to restrict our ability to pay dollar denominated obligations and repatriate funds from Venezuela in order to meet our cash requirements. In particular, the currency controls in Venezuela have restricted our ability to make payments to certain vendors in U.S. Dollars, causing us to borrow money to meet these obligations and to be subject to credit holds by vendors, which have caused delays in the delivery of customer orders thus delaying or causing the loss of sales.

Prior to 2010, the official exchange rate had remained steady over the last few years despite significant inflation. The exemptions provided by Venezuela’s Criminal Exchange Law for transactions in certain securities had resulted in the establishment of a legal indirect “parallel” market of foreign currency exchange, through which companies may obtain foreign currency without requesting it from the government. The exchange rate in the parallel market (parallel rate) is variable and was about 65 percent less favorable in 2009 when compared with the official rate. The acquisition of foreign currency by Venezuelan companies to honor foreign debt, pay dividends or otherwise expatriate capital is subject to registration and subject to a process of application and approval by the CADIVI and to the availability of foreign currency within the guidelines set forth by the National Executive Power for the allocation of foreign currency. Such approvals have become less forthcoming over time, resulting in a significant increase in our exchange rate and exchange control risks. We cannot predict if and when we will obtain CADIVI approval to honor foreign debt, distribute dividends or otherwise expatriate capital using the official Venezuelan exchange rate or the timing of receipt of such approval.

On January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Bolivar Fuerte and changed to a two-tier exchange structure. The official exchange rate moved from 2.15 Bolivar Fuertes per U.S. Dollar to 2.60 for essential goods and 4.30 for non-essential goods and services, with our products generally falling into the non-essential category. For any U.S. Dollar we obtain at the official rate to pay for the purchase of imported goods, we will realize benefits in our statements of operations associated with the favorable exchange rate, as compared to the parallel rate.

We continued to value our net monetary assets using the parallel exchange rate until May 17, 2010, at which time the Venezuelan government enacted reforms to its foreign currency exchange control regulations (the “exchange control regulations”) to close down the parallel exchange market and announced its intent to implement an alternative market under the control of the Central Bank of Venezuela (“BCV”). On June 9, 2010, the Venezuelan government introduced a newly regulated foreign currency exchange system, Sistema de Transacciones con Titulos en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”), which is controlled by the BCV. Foreign currency exchange transactions not conducted through CADIVI or SITME may not comply with the exchange control regulations, and could therefore be considered illegal. The SITME imposes volume restrictions on the conversion of Bolivar Fuertes to U.S. Dollars, currently limiting such activity to a maximum equivalent of $350,000 per month.

As a result of the enactment of the reforms to the exchange control regulations, we changed the rate we use to remeasure Bolivar Fuerte-denominated transactions from the parallel exchange rate to the SITME rate specified by the BCV, which was quoted at 5.30 Venezuelan Bolivar Fuertes per U.S. Dollar on December 31, 2010.

We believe that the Venezuelan government is not likely to continue to provide substantial currency exchange rate at the official rate for companies importing nonessential products, difficulties continue in obtaining approval for the conversion of local currency to U.S. Dollars at the official exchange rate (for imported products, royalties and dividends), and there continue to be delays in previously obtained approvals being honored by CADIVI.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we re-evaluated the rate currently used to translate our financial statements. As an alternative means to obtain U.S. Dollars to remit dividends, we have purchased U.S. Dollars through government sponsored bond transactions. We believe that the effective yield resulting from these bond transactions (the “bond rate”) is the best current indicator of the exchange rate applicable for the conversion of Bolivar Fuertes to U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, on January 1, 2011, we changed the rate we use to remeasure Bolivar Fuerte-denominated transactions from 5.30 to 6.52 Bolivar Fuertes per U.S. Dollar.

General Legal Matters

From time to time, we are involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While we believe that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Customer and Vendor Concentrations

At March 31, 2011, we had one customer in our Latin American segment that represented approximately 18% of our gross accounts receivable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, one vendor in our Latin American segment represented approximately 49% of our consolidated cost of product sales and services. At March 31, 2011, the amount due to this vendor was approximately 40% of our total accounts payable.

NOTE 11 – Stockholders’ Equity

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

As more fully described in Note 10, on March 30, 2011, in connection with the termination of the Voting Trust Agreement, 4,118,263 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 1,801,740 shares of our common stock.

Common Stock Transactions

As more fully described in Note 10, on March 30, 2011, in connection with the termination of the Voting Trust Agreement, 1,801,740 shares of our common stock were cancelled.

In connection with the settlement agreement entered into with Sir James Ah Koy, Michael Ah Koy; Kelton Investments Ltd. (Kelton Investments”); Kelton; Datec; Anthony Ah Koy; Carolyn Ah Koy; and Monica Ah Koy, on March 31, 2011, we cancelled 150,000 returned shares of our common stock, valued at $30,000.

NOTE 12 – Income Taxes

At December 31, 2010, we had federal and Florida net operating loss (NOL) carryovers of $67,345,000 and $62,460,000, respectively, which expire through 2030. We also had capital losses in 2008 totaling $33,153,000 which expire December 31, 2013. In addition, at December 31, 2010, we had foreign net operating loss carryovers of approximately $20,219,000 which will expire through 2017.

We have $5,606,000 of NOLs that are subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. This amount is expected to increase upon the closing of the transaction with Amper.

As of December 31, 2010, our NOL and capital loss carryovers were completely offset by valuation allowances.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of operation. Similarly, our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.

There have not been any material changes in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, during the three months ended March 31, 2011. We do not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

NOTE 13 – Segment Information

Our discontinued operations are comprised of our operations in Fiji and certain eLandia predecessor companies that no longer conduct any operations.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of SamoaTel

On March 31, 2011, we consummated the closing under a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement with The Government of the Independent State of Samoa pursuant to which Bluesky SamoaTel Investments Limited (“BSI”), a subsidiary of AST, acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding capital shares of SamoaTel Limited (“SamoaTel”) in exchange for $11 million. We own approximately 75% of BSI and the remaining 25% is owned by other investors. SamoaTel is a provider of telecommunications products and services in Samoa and offers a full range of services including fixed line, mobile, data and calling card services for homes and businesses in Samoa.

Contribution Agreement - Amper

On July 29, 2010, we entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Amper, S.A. (“Amper”). Pursuant to this Contribution Agreement, Amper agreed to acquire 150,745,913 shares of our newly issued common stock in exchange for the contribution to eLandia by Amper of approximately 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Hemisferio Norte Brasil, S.L. (“Hemisferio”). Hemisferio has one wholly-owned direct subsidiary, Hemisferio Sul Participaçoes Ltda. (“Hemisferio Sul”), and two indirect subsidiaries, Medidata and XC Comercial e Exportadora Ltda. (“XC”). Hemisferio Sul owns 88.96% of Medidata, and Medidata owns 100% of XC. Hemisferio, Hemisferio Sul, Medidata and XC are collectively referred to in the Contribution Agreement as the “Contributed Entities.” The shares of our common stock to be issued to Amper under the Contribution Agreement will represent approximately 85% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

On March 31, 2011, we executed and delivered certain closing documents under the Contribution Agreement subject to the closing documents being held in escrow pending the receipt from our transfer agent of a stock certificate representing 150,745,913 shares of our common stock issued in the name of Amper and stock certificates representing the 5,223,517 capital shares of

Hemisferio transferred to the name of the Company, which transfer requires registration with certain Spanish and Brazilian authorities, and certain other related legal opinions. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement was subject to various conditions, all of which were satisfied, waived or deferred pursuant to the escrow arrangement prior to the closing, including: (i) obtaining the consent of the FCC, (ii) receipt of a fairness opinion from our investment bank, (iii) receipt of waivers executed by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer with respect to any severance obligations of the Company which may be triggered by the closing of the Contribution Agreement transactions, and (iv) receipt of a consent of the receiver for Stanford International Bank Ltd. (“SIBL”) to the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement. We expect that the requirements with respect to the recordation of the ownership of the Brazilian subsidiaries of Hemisferio will occur prior to the end of May 2011. Upon receipt of these pending items by the escrow agent, the escrowed materials will be released, the closing will be consummated and control will be transferred to the respective parties.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to exercise its judgment. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. Areas in which we exercise significant judgment include, but are not necessarily limited to, the valuation of SamoaTel, the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, the valuation of value added taxes (“VAT”) receivable, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, the amount to be paid for the settlement of liabilities of discontinued operations, accrued expenses, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed such as, but not limited to, the amount allocated to contract rights, customer lists, trade names and goodwill along with the estimated useful lives for amortizable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, warrants granted in connection with various financing transactions, and share based payment arrangements.

We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, the attributes of our services and products and the regulatory environment. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary.

While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no material changes to these policies.

Results of Operations – Overview

Our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by regional and worldwide economic conditions. Our sales are dependent on certain industry and markets that are impacted by consumer as well as industrial and infrastructure spending, and our operating results can be adversely affected by reduced demand in those markets.

We experienced a 2% decrease in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The decline is mainly attributable to a decrease in our product revenues of $3.8 million, or 15%, offset by an increase in our services revenues of $2.9 million, or 23%. Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 would have reflected an increase year over year had they not been impacted by credit holds with a major vendor. Such credit holds delayed the delivery of customer orders, which, in turn, delayed or caused the loss of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2011. However, we do not believe such credit holds will significantly impact our results for the remainder of 2011.

We anticipate that during the remainder of 2011, our operations will begin to see the benefits of improving customer confidence, improvement in economic conditions internationally, continued selective investment in strategic sales, marketing and customer support activities to drive sales and develop growth platforms, as well as the implementation of general and administrative cost-cutting measures.

Sales in a particular period may be significantly impacted by several factors related to revenue recognition, including large and sporadic purchases by customers; the complexity of transactions such as multiple element arrangements; and final acceptance of the product, system, or solution, among other factors. We are monitoring the current environment and its potential effects on our customers and on the markets we serve. Additionally, we continue to closely manage our costs in order to respond to changing conditions. We are also managing our capital resources and monitoring capital availability to ensure that we have sufficient resources to fund our capital needs. Backlog as of March 31, 2011 was $57.9 million, compared to $53.2 million as of March 31, 2010.

Gross margin, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, remained relatively consistent at 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

   

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Included in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is negative goodwill of $2.9 million related to our acquisition of SamoaTel on March 31, 2011. Excluding this effect, operating loss remained relatively consistent year over year.

 

   

Net loss attributable to eLandia for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $3.1 million, compared to $3.5 million in the same period in 2010. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to an operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010, offset by higher other non-operating expenses. Other non-operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 includes a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million.

 

   

Net loss per share decreased from ($0.13) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to ($0.12) for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Venezuela

We measure assets, liabilities, sales and expenses denominated in Venezuelan Bolivar Fuertes converting such amounts into U.S. Dollars using the applicable exchange rate, and the resulting translation adjustments are included in earnings. Through May 2010, we used the parallel rate to convert transactions and balances denominated in Bolivar Fuertes into U.S. Dollars. We continued to value our net monetary assets using the parallel exchange rate until May 17, 2010, at which time the Venezuelan government enacted reforms to its foreign currency exchange control regulations (the “exchange control regulations”) to close down the parallel exchange market and announced its intent to implement an alternative market under the control of the Central Bank of Venezuela (“BCV”). On June 9, 2010, the Venezuelan government introduced a newly regulated foreign currency exchange system, Sistema de Transacciones con Titulos en Moneda Extranjera (“SITME”), which is controlled by the BCV. Foreign currency exchange transactions not conducted through CADIVI or SITME may not comply with the exchange control regulations, and could therefore be considered illegal. The SITME imposes volume restrictions on the conversion of Bolivar Fuertes to U.S. Dollars, currently limiting such activity to a maximum equivalent of $350,000 per month.

As a result of the enactment of the reforms to the exchange control regulations, we changed the rate we use to remeasure Bolivar Fuerte-denominated transactions from the parallel exchange rate to the SITME rate specified by the BCV, which was quoted at 5.30 Bolivar Fuertes per U.S. Dollar on December 31, 2010.

We believe that the Venezuelan government is not likely to continue to provide substantial currency exchange rate at the official rate for companies importing nonessential products, difficulties continue in obtaining approval for the conversion of local currency to U.S. Dollars at the official exchange rate (for imported products, royalties and dividends), and there continue to be delays in previously obtained approvals being honored by CADIVI.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we re-evaluated the rate currently used to translate our financial statements. As an alternative means to obtain U.S. Dollars to remit dividends, we have purchased U.S. Dollars through government sponsored bond transactions. We believe that the effective yield resulting from these bond transactions (the “bond rate”) is the best current indicator of the exchange rate applicable for the conversion of Bolivar Fuertes to U.S. Dollars. Accordingly, on January 1, 2011, we changed the rate we use to remeasure Bolivar Fuerte-denominated transactions from 5.30 to 6.52 Bolivar Fuertes per U.S. Dollar.

Table of Contents

Due to the level of uncertainty in Venezuela, we cannot predict the exchange rate that will ultimately be used to convert our local currency monetary assets in Venezuela to U.S. Dollars in the future. As a result, negative charges reflecting a less favorable exchange rate outcome are possible.

Following are the exchange rates utilized to remeasure and translate our Venezuelan results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

 

     As of March 31,  

Monthly Average Exchange Rate:

   2011      2010  

January

     6.52         6.15   

February

     6.52         6.49   

March

     6.52         6.90   

Year to Date Average Exchange Rate

     6.52         6.51   

Period End Exchange Rate

     6.52         6.90   

The aforementioned changes in the exchange rates have reduced the remeasured and translated value in U.S. Dollars of Bolivar Fuerte denominated Venezuelan transactions compared with prior periods. Venezuela exchange rate matters, along with local market and regulatory conditions, have resulted in a decline in net sales for our Venezuelan subsidiary. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our Venezuelan subsidiary represented 13% of our consolidated net sales, as compared to 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Revenues for our Venezuelan operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011, remeasured at the bond rate, were $4.8 million, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, remeasured at the parallel rate. Gross profit for Venezuela for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.5 million, or gross margin of 32%, compared to gross profit of $0.8 million, or gross margin of 25%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Operating expenses for Venezuela for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $1.5 million, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

There will be an ongoing impact related to measuring the statement of operations for our Venezuelan operations at the bond rate. Our net sales and operating income in Venezuela are subject to a highly inflationary environment, which as of March 31, 2011, was in excess of 30% per year. The comparability of our Venezuelan results and the resulting U.S. Dollar value reported in any given period are affected by the fluctuations in the exchange rates.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Product Sales

Year over year decline in product sales was $3.7 million, or 15%. Product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were impacted by credit holds imposed on us by a major vendor. Such credit holds delayed the delivery of certain customer orders, which delayed or caused the loss of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Offsetting the decrease in product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2010 were increased sales in our markets in Mexico, Panama and Venezuela where we recognized a combined $6.6 million of product revenues related to three significant contracts. Product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 include approximately $8.9 million related to two significant projects in Ecuador, for which we are recognizing the related services revenue component during 2011 and 2012.

The Venezuelan market, and to a lesser extent, our other Latin American markets, have been significantly affected by the global financial crisis and significant inflation. This has made it more challenging for our customers to maintain their capital spending and obtain credit to fund their purchases resulting in the termination, postponement or dollar value decrease of several contracts. Additionally, our results of operations for Venezuela are impacted by the differential between our revenue and cost cycles. Sales are mainly denominated in Bolivar Fuertes whereas purchases are mainly denominated in U.S. Dollars, thereby creating an exchange rate difference between revenues and costs, which has impacted our gross margins. In order to mitigate the risks that are present in Venezuela, management has been developing sales and customer bases in our other more profitable markets and restricting, to a lesser extent, its sales in Venezuela. We are also working closely with our sales personnel and vendors to enter into more profitable arrangements.

Product gross margin remained consistent at 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Services

Year over year growth in revenue from the provision of professional ICT services was $2.8 million, or 31%. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized approximately $1.2 million in services revenues related to a significant project in Ecuador. Our overall increase in services revenues is primarily attributable to our continued focus to shift our product mix towards more services-related products, which generally yield higher overall margins.

Service gross margin decreased from 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 31% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Gross margin related to our networking operations decreased from 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of aggressive pricing strategies implemented in order to stimulate the growth in our services-related portfolio. We expect our margins to improve as we strengthen our presence in the market and build our customer base. Gross margin from education services decreased from 57% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to 43% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of significant pricing pressures and overall costs which we were not able to pass along to our customers.

Expenses

Our overall operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased as a result of cost-cutting measures implemented during 2009 and 2010 in response to the overall weakened economy in Latin America. We revised our growth plans while implementing cost control programs, optimizing back-office functions and reducing our headcount by approximately 300 people. The change in the exchange rates we use to remeasure our Venezuelan operations also contributed to the decrease in expenses.

Sales, marketing and customer support costs include costs associated with advertising and promoting our products and services as well as supporting the customer after the sale is complete. The decrease in sales, marketing and customer support expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflect the results of our 2009 and 2010 cost cutting measures.

General and administrative expenses, which include back office expenses such as executive and support staff costs as well as professional fees for accounting, legal and other services associated with our Latin America operations, remained relatively consistent year over year.

Interest expense is the cost associated with our outstanding debt obligations in Latin America including lines of credit, loans from financial institutions and capital leases. The increase in net interest expense is primarily the result of higher average outstanding debt obligations as of March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010.

On March 16, 2010, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Stanford International Holdings (Panama) S.A. (“SIHP”), whereby we agreed to pay SIHP $462,500 in full and final settlement of a $2.5 million outstanding balance under a line of credit with Stanford Bank (Panama) S.A. Accordingly, we recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $2,037,500 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Other income and expense is comprised of non-operating items. Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is mainly comprised foreign currency exchange losses, primarily related to our Venezuelan operations.

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 amounted to approximately $239,000. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations – South Pacific

We offer mobile communications, Internet services and cable TV services (Moana TV) in American Samoa under the Bluesky Communications brand. In addition, we also own 66 2/3% of the ASH Cable in partnership with the American Samoa Government, providing high-speed networking connections between the territory of American Samoa and Hawaii. The products and services we offer in each of these markets vary depending on the infrastructure, existing telecommunication and data communications systems and the needs of the local economy. Our services revenue includes support provided to our clients by our systems engineers, IT support, and technical staff for new or existing software, hardware, systems, or applications as well as ISP and data network infrastructure and telecommunications services. Sales of related products include computer hardware, communications hardware and commercial off-the-shelf software sold through retail locations or by our direct sales force.

On March 31, 2011, BSI acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding capital shares of SamoaTel in exchange for $11 million. AST owns approximately 75% of BSI and the remaining 25% is owned by other investors. SamoaTel is a provider of telecommunications products and services in Samoa and offers a full range of services including fixed line, mobile, data and calling card services for homes and businesses in Samoa. AST had no operations in Samoa, which is approximately 80 miles away from America Samoa, where AST operates. The operating results of SamoaTel will be included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition. We believe that this acquisition will provide us with access to market-leading Samoa customers, and with the combination of SamoaTel operations with our own, will provide us with highly complementary products, customers and geographic regions.

Product Sales

Revenues from product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased from the same period in 2010 due to an overall decrease in retail sales for handsets and personal computers. This is attributed to a decline in consumer spending between both periods. The cost of revenue from product sales decreased at a slightly higher rate than the corresponding revenue, thereby improving our product margin, due to increased efforts in controlling our discounts so as to increase our net revenues. Our product margin was affected by incentives provided to customers for purchasing our products. We continue to expand our supplier base in order to maintain competitive pricing and products within our markets.

Services

Revenue from the provision of professional services for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased compared with the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of the provision of communication services through our undersea cable operations, as well as revenues generated from our cable television operations. Service revenue also increased as a result of securing and activating additional fiber capacity for our existing customers and leased capacity for new broadband and fiber customers.

Our service gross margin decreased from 67% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 65% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in cost of services related to the communication services provided by our data services and our undersea cable operations provided to our large broadband customers.

Expenses

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses were lower for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in overall costs associated with marketing promotions and campaigns.

General and administrative expenses were higher for the three months ended March 31, 2011 than for the same period in 2010. The increase is mainly due to legal, professional and management fees incurred for the acquisition of SamoaTel.

We realized preliminary negative goodwill of $2.9 million resulting from the acquisition of SamoaTel on March 31, 2011. Our preliminary review of SamoaTel’s assets on the balance sheet reflects a higher value than the purchase price, thus resulting in negative goodwill. However, we find that the value of the balance sheet assets is not an accurate reflection of the value of the overall business given deteriorating market share and an eroding revenue base. To combat this, we are planning to replace a a portion of the assets in the coming months in order to implement new technologies to enable the company to better compete in the market. We expect significant investments in infrastructure and complementary services to allow the company to deliver competitive products and services in the marketplace and therefore improve service, gain better market position and offer value-added services to our customers.

The SamoaTel acquisition is the result of a bid process initiated by the Government of Samoa as part of its current policy to privatize certain state owned enterprises. The bid process began in September 2010, whereby a notice was issued in both local and overseas media, calling pre-qualification for the purchase of 75% of the shares of SamoaTel. Certain criteria had to be met by any interested party and a total of 15 parties expressed interest in the pre-qualification process. Pre-qualified parties were allowed to form a consortium with another company with telecommunication business expertise. On the deadline for pre-qualification, only two proposals were received, one of which was from AST. Once pre-qualified, the due diligence process began. Following the pre-qualification process, was the due diligence period and thereafter, the submission of the bids and finally the auction date, on which we were selected as the winning bidder.

Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is mainly comprised of the noncontrolling interest in BSI and the American Samoan Hawaii Cable segment of our operations, representing the 33.33% ownership of the American Samoa Government.

Results of Operations – Corporate and Discontinued Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Our corporate headquarters primarily performs administrative services, and as such, does not generate revenue. The discontinued operations pertain predominantly to our Fiji operations.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations information for our corporate office and our discontinued operations.

General and administrative expenses are predominantly corporate overhead expenses including executive costs and fees for professional services. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily the result of lower professional fees, as well as lower compensation costs. Non-cash share-based compensation expense amounted to $218,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $316,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in compensation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is mainly attributable to a reduction in corporate headcount and lower salary and salary related expenses.

Transaction related expenses mainly represent legal, professional, travel and other expenses incurred in connection with our transaction with Amper. The expenses are comprised of due diligence fees, contract negotiations and review, in-country visits, and investor presentations.

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is primarily due to the interest expense incurred in connection with the $5.0 million Exclusivity Advance from Amper.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are the Exclusivity Advance from Amper in the amount of $5 million, as well as the strategic alliance arrangement with Medidata in the amount of $5.5 million.

Overall Cash Inflows and Outflows

We generated $1.5 million of income from continuing operations and used $0.2 million of cash in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, we have a working capital deficit of $17.4 million.

Operating Activities. We used $0.2 million to fund operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our net loss amounted to $2.5 million, which included net non-cash expenses of $1.4 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities generated $0.9 million in cash.

Investing Activities. Cash paid for the acquisition of SamoaTel, net of the cash acquired, amounted to $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. We paid $0.2 million for investments in capital assets and increased our restricted cash balances by $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Financing Activities. We received $9.5 million in cash from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received $6.8 million in net proceeds from lines of credit and long-term debt. We also received $3.1 million in proceeds from noncontrolling interests in connection with the funding of BSI. We paid an aggregate of $0.4 million in cash for our capital leases during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

In connection with our acquisition of SamoaTel on March 31, 2011, BSI paid $11 million, of which $5.5 million was funded through debt, $1.9 million was funded through cash paid by AST and $3.6 million was funded through cash paid by other financial investors. BSI issued the other investors debt and preferred stock in BSI in exchange for the $3.6 million of proceeds received.

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of SamoaTel, AST entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with ANZ Finance America Samoa, Inc. and ANZ Amerika Samoa Bank (jointly, “ANZ”), pursuant to which ANZ committed to provide financing of up to $5,500,000 in the form of a five year term loan (the “Loan”). In addition, ANZ committed to provide up to $3,500,000 in a two year letter of credit facility which AST may use to issue letters of credit to various vendors (the “Facility”) to fund future capital expenditures. AST is the borrower under the Loan Agreement and the Facility. The Loan and the Facility are principally secured by substantially all of the assets and operations of AST. The Loan bears interest at the rate of 2.5% above the prime rate. AST paid ANZ a fee of $82,500 at closing. At closing, AST borrowed the full amount available under the Loan and used the proceeds for the purchase of SamoaTel. In connection with the Loan Agreement and the Facility, we increased our existing guaranty and security agreements in favor of ANZ (respectively, the “Guaranty”) to include the amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement and the Facility. Pursuant to the Guaranty, we have unconditionally guaranteed the repayment and other obligations of AST under the Loan Agreement and the Facility. In connection with the Loan Agreement and the Facility, AST executed a stock pledge agreement of all of its interest in the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BSI.

In April 2011, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Medidata, pursuant to which Medidata advanced to us $6.0 million. The advance is due to be repaid on December 31, 2011 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3%.

The successful management of our working capital needs is a key driver of our growth and cash flow generation of our operations in Latin America. One measurement we use to monitor working capital is days sales outstanding (“DSO”), which measures the number of days we take to collect revenue after a sale is made. Excluding the effect of $12.8 million in receivables for which we recognized the related revenues in prior years, our consolidated annualized DSO was 128 days at March 31, 2011, compared with 140 days at December 31, 2010.

Since 2003, Venezuela has imposed currency controls and created the CADIVI process with the task of establishing detailed rules and regulations and generally administering the exchange control regime. These controls fix the exchange rate between the Bolivar Fuerte and the U.S. Dollar, and have had the effect of restricting the ability to exchange Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa. The near-term effect has been to restrict our ability to repatriate funds from Venezuela in order to meet our cash requirements. To the extent that we moved money in or out of Venezuela, either for cash flow purposes or working capital needs, we were subject to exchange gains or losses because Venezuela is operating on a fixed exchange rate, whereas the actual market is operating on a variable exchange rate.

In particular, the currency controls in Venezuela have restricted our ability to make payments to vendors in U.S. Dollars, causing us to borrow money to meet these obligations and to be subject to credit holds, and therefore delaying the delivery of customer orders which, in turn, has delayed or caused the loss of sales.

In order to address and mitigate these issues, we either (i) enter into short-term financing arrangements with our vendors which extends the date when payment is due, (ii) obtain short-term financing from local banks in country, or (iii) we may deploy working capital from eLandia. Additionally, we continue to successfully decrease our working capital debt and related interest expense in Latin America and have recently been able to refinance certain obligations with long-term debt, which historically was not possible.

We continue to make appropriate applications through the Venezuelan government and CADIVI for approval to obtain U.S. Dollars at the official exchange rate. However, we have experienced difficulties in obtaining such approvals on a timely basis and we have not been given any assurances as to when the approval process would be completed. Due to these delays, we have used available local currency paid by customers to reduce our debt obligations denominated in that local currency. As a result, when approvals from CADIVI have been obtained we have had to promptly acquire Bolivar Fuertes using a legal parallel exchange process in order to obtain U.S. Dollars at the official exchange rate which can then be repatriated and used to meet our working capital needs. If previously obtained approvals do not ultimately result in currency conversions at the official exchange rate or if there is a delay in approvals being honored by CADIVI, we would be required to obtain U.S. Dollars at a substantially less favorable exchange rate which would negatively impact our financial results and financial position. From time to time, we may have had to recognize charges to operating income in connection with the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes to U.S. Dollars at rates which were unfavorable to the official exchange rate.

At December 31, 2009, we determined that the parallel rate was the appropriate rate to use for the remeasurement of our Venezuelan financial statements for the purposes of consolidation based on the facts and circumstances of our business. In May 2010, the Venezuela government announced that trading in the historical parallel market would be suspended. They also announced that the BCV would establish an alternative to the historical parallel market. This alternative exchange market contained a number of trading restrictions. The specifics of the BCV alternative exchange option include a limitation of $350,000 U.S. Dollars per month for any particular entity, provided that no CADIVI approvals have been received over the prior 90 days. This is a substantial restriction in the amount of U.S. Dollars available for the payment of newly imported product, outside of the CADIVI approval process, as compared to the suspended parallel market. We continue to monitor this situation including the impact such restrictions may have on our future business operations. At this time, we are unable to predict with any degree of certainty how the recent changes as well as future developments within Venezuela will affect our Venezuela operations, if at all.

We believe that we have sufficient working capital on a consolidated basis in order to satisfy any subsidiary needs to the extent that such fundings are in our best interest as a whole. However, to the extent that we must rely on short-term financing from vendors or local banks, these financing arrangements may involve high interest rates or payment terms which could be unfavorable to us.

While we have begun to see the beginnings of economic stability and recovery in the markets we currently serve, the recent global economic crisis has caused a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. These conditions not only limit our access to capital, but also make it difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and could cause U.S. and foreign businesses to slow spending on our products and services, which would delay and lengthen sales cycles. Furthermore, during challenging economic times our customers may face issues including:

 

   

the inability to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products;

 

   

customer insolvencies;

 

   

decreased customer confidence to make purchasing decisions;

 

   

decreased customer demand; and

 

   

decreased customer ability to pay their trade obligations.

In addition, the recent economic crisis could adversely impact our suppliers’ ability to provide us with materials and components, either of which may negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have a working capital deficit of $17.4 million at March 31, 2011. In order to improve our working capital position and effectively align our cash flow sources and uses during 2011, we have:

 

   

obtained a $6.0 million advance from Medidata in April 2011. The advance is payable on December 31, 2011 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3%;

 

   

refinanced approximately $8.0 million of existing payables with a major vendor to a long-term payment structure in April 2011;

 

   

begun the process of centralizing our cash flow management process through the use of a regional facility with one bank across the majority of our subsidiaries and countries. This facility is expected to generate significant cash savings due to the low interest rates being offered; reduce and/or eliminate exchange rate control issues and improve the timing of payments to vendors;

 

   

approximately $12.3 million of negative working capital will be eliminated in consolidation upon the acquisition of Medidata; and

 

   

the acquisition of SamoaTel is also expected to provide us with significant working capital surplus during 2011.

We believe that we will have sufficient working capital to sustain our current operations and service our debt obligations through at least April 1, 2012. The acquisition of Medidata and SamoaTel are expected to provide us with significant working capital surplus in the future. However, there can be no assurance that the plans and actions proposed by management will be successful or that

unforeseen circumstances will not require us to seek additional funding sources in the future or effectuate plans to conserve liquidity. In addition, there can be no assurance that in the event additional sources of funds are needed they will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Although the overall economy is showing signs of recovery, in particular in the markets we serve, the current macro-economic conditions create risk and our ability to measure and react to these issues will ultimately factor into our future success and ability to meet our business objectives and fulfill our business plan. In addition, if we are not able to sell our assets or our sources of revenue do not generate sufficient capital to fund operations, we will need to identify other sources of capital and/or we may be required to modify our business plan. Our inability to obtain needed debt and/or equity financing when needed or to generate sufficient cash from operations may require us to scale back our business plan and limit our planned growth and expansion activities, abandon projects and/or curtail capital expenditures. The current challenging economic conditions and the unusual events that have affected global financial markets have impaired our ability to identify and secure other sources of capital. At this time, we cannot provide any assurance that other sources of capital will be available.

In order to strengthen our cash position, we are attempting to enforce our collection terms more stringently than in the past and are also requiring customer advances and/or earlier payment terms for certain customers in certain markets. Additionally, in Venezuela, due to the economic challenges that exist in that marketplace, we have not had the liquidity and/or ability to pay down our payables on a timelier basis. As a result, we have been experiencing credit holds from our principal vendor in Venezuela, which has limited our ability to expand and/or operate our business. We are actively seeking additional working capital that will allow us to book sales irrespective of credit limitations that may be imposed by our vendors. If we cannot continue to strengthen our overall financial position, we may experience additional restrictions on our vendor credit. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In light of the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, our management continues to perform additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, our management believes that the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we are implementing enhancements and changes to our internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that errors and control deficiencies will not occur. We recognize the importance of having staff with competencies required for the accurate interpretation of GAAP; for having effective internal controls over financial reporting; and for establishing the appropriate policies and procedures to assure timely, accurate, and reliable information. Consequently, to eliminate material weaknesses identified with respect to staffing and training, our management has continued efforts to increase the depth and upgrade the skill sets of our accounting group through continuing education and ongoing training while maintaining staffing with appropriate skills and experience in the application of GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Chief among these efforts is the development of a Controllership Guide and coordinated on-line education program.

We recognize the need for establishing entity level controls as defined by the COSO framework. We recognize the importance of having a Code of Business Conduct and FCPA training program; consistent finance and accounting policies and procedures; account reconciliation guidelines; whistle blower reporting mechanism; fraud risk assessment process; and delegation of authority document. To this end, we are requiring 100% compliance by each of our operations around the world with respect to the Code of Business Conduct, FCPA training and other corporate governance policies; development, circulation and training of accounting and finance policies; development and compliance of an account reconciliation policy; establishment of a whistle blower mechanism; development of a fraud risk assessment process and anti-fraud program; development and communication of the delegation of authority document and other process enhancements.

Additionally, we are enforcing spreadsheet control policies, especially those affecting spreadsheets that are critical to the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations.

No other changes to internal controls over financial reporting have come to management’s attention during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are periodically a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal and ordinary course of business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, management does not believe that there is any proceeding threatened or pending against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
