INTERNET AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Basis of Presentation |
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to achieve a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Internet America, Inc. (the “Company” or “Internet America” or “we”) for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
2. | Principals of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, TeleShare Communication Services, Inc. ("TeleShare"). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
3. | Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share |
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the nine months ended March 31, 2011, common stock equivalent shares totaling 2,718,428, 2,718,428, 0, and 2,718,428, respectively, have been added to the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding assuming the shares of preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock as of the first day of each respective period, for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options and warrants were not "in the money" during these periods. At March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, options to purchase 1,430,944 and 1,918,366 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, and warrants to acquire 394,922 and 394,922 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding.
There are no adjustments required to be made to net income for the purpose of computing basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012.
4. | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
5. | Acquisitions |
On January 31, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of the tangible assets and subscribers (the "Joplin Acquisition") associated with the wireless ISP operations of Aircado-HiBeam LLC's ("Aircado") conducted in and around Joplin, Missouri. The total purchase consideration for the Joplin Acquisition was $104,000, consisting of (i) $44,500 in cash payments made at closing, (ii) a $14,500 credit for certain prepayments for services to be provided post-closing that was retained by Aircado and (iii) $45,000 in cash payments to be made during the quarter ending June 30, 2012, which payments are included in Accrued Liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2012.
The Joplin Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company immediately began integrating the acquired assets into the Company’s existing operations and continues to operate within a single business segment.
6 |
The table below summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired at the acquisition date as determined by management.
Total purchase consideration | $ | 104,000 | ||
Fair value assignment: | ||||
Property and equipment | $ | 236,000 | ||
Inventory | 12,100 | |||
Acquired subscribers | 267,300 | |||
Total fair value of assets acquired | $ | 515,400 | ||
Gain on bargain purchase | $ | 411,400 |
The gain related to the Joplin Acquisition was a result of a bargain purchase that occurred due to Aircado's hasty divesture of the assets that was required to be completed within a very limited timeframe to a small class of potential buyers that resulted in a favorable price to the Company. This gain recognized on the bargain purchase is included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The amortization period of the intangible assets (acquired subscribers) is 4 years, which is consistent with the Company’s handling of subscribers in previous acquisitions.
In order to finalize the Joplin Acquisition and maintain ongoing operations after closing, the Company incurred $24,000 of redundant operating costs during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, which are included in Operating Expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The redundant operating costs are not typical in similar acquisitions that the Company has previously completed but were necessary to maintain service to the acquired customers and to finalize the bargain purchase. The Company will continue transitioning the acquired operations in an orderly manner to its own internal data center during the quarter ending June 30, 2012 and the Company expects to eliminate the duplicate costs by that date.
6. | Goodwill and Subscriber Acquisition Costs |
Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on goodwill and other intangibles, the Company performs an impairment test annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when events and circumstances indicate goodwill might be permanently impaired. The Company concluded that no impairment of goodwill occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
The Company allocates the purchase price for acquisitions to acquired subscriber bases and goodwill based on fair value at the time of acquisition. The weighted average amortization period for subscriber acquisition costs is 48 months for both dial-up and wireless broadband Internet customers. As of March 31, 2012, unrecognized amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 is $33,000 and unrecognized amortization expense for fiscal years ended June 30, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 is expected to be $131,000, $131,000, $111,000 and $43,000, respectively.
7. | Income Taxes |
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company generated net income of $303,000 and $528,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company generated net loss of $11,000 and net income of $75,000, respectively. No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 or March 31, 2011 as the net income generated in the current periods will be offset by net operating loss carryovers. As of March 31, 2012, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets. Given its limited history of generating net income, the Company has concluded that it is not more likely than not that additional net deferred tax assets will be realized.
7 |
The preparation of various tax returns requires the use of estimates for federal and state income tax purposes. Those estimates may be subject to review by respective taxing authorities. A revision, if any, to an estimate may result in assessment of additional taxes, penalties and interest. The 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 tax periods remain subject to examination by various federal and state tax jurisdictions. The Company performed an assessment of its various income tax positions for all periods subject to examination and concluded that no accrual of uncertain tax positions was necessary at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011. The Company will account for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the current period consolidated statement of operations, as necessary.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an additional accrual for Texas franchise tax obligations of $147,785 to reflect the results of a recent review by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (the “Comptroller’s Office”) of our franchise tax reports for certain prior year periods. The Company paid $47,952 of this accrued amount to the Comptroller’s Office in April 2012 to cover the payment shortfalls for the 2007 and 2008 tax years.
8. | Long-Term Debt |
As of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company’s long-term debt consisted of:
March 31, | June 30, | |||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Note payable due June 20, 2012, payable in monthly installments of $2,088 with interest imputed at 9% (net of unamortized discount of $93 and $1,180, respectively) (1) | $ | 6,171 | $ | 23,874 | ||||

Note payable due January 1, 2014, payable in monthly installments of $615 with interest imputed at 8.5% (net of unamortized discount of $962 and $0, respectively) (2) | 12,559 | - | ||||||
664,719 | 1,021,084 | |||||||
Less current portion | (294,926 | ) | (486,241 | ) | ||||
Total long-term debt, net of current portion | $ | 369,793 | $ | 534,843 |
(1) As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s long-term debt which is secured by certain inventory, equipment and certificates of deposit totaled approximately $56,040.
(2) In November 2011, the Company acquired subscribers and equipment from a third party internet service provider for a total acquisition price of $32,000 consisting of $17,250 in cash and $14,750 in a note payable to the seller due January 1, 2014, payable in monthly installments of $615. As the note payable does not bear interest, the Company imputed interest at 8.5%, which was recorded as a debt discount of $1,134 that will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the note.
9. | Transfer of Assets |
In July 2010, the former owners of TeleShare exercised their right to exchange their noncontrolling interest in TeleShare for certain assets of TeleShare and the assumption of certain liabilities of TeleShare, with a net book value of $25,203. The Company recognized a loss of $26,004 on the transfer of these assets. As a result of this transaction, TeleShare became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The surrender of the noncontrolling interest resulted in an increase to additional paid in capital and elimination of the noncontrolling interest.
10. | Stock Options and Warrants |
As of March 31, 2012, 1,430,944 options were outstanding under the Company's 2007 Stock Option Plan (the "2007 Plan") and 569,056 stock options were available for future issuance under the 2007 Plan. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not grant any stock options.
8 |
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a total of 394,922 warrants issued and outstanding, previously issued in equal amounts to Mr. Mihaylo and Ambassador Palmer, both non-employee directors of the Company. No warrants were granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
11. | Related Parties |
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, a total of $13,250 and $14,625, respectively, was paid to four non-employee directors for serving on the Company's board of directors. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, a total of $43,750 and $50,175, respectively, was paid to four non-employee directors for serving on the Company’s board of directors and $0 and $5,090, respectively, was paid to a former owner of TeleShare for contract services.
12. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting standards, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements, identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and other publicly filed reports discuss some additional important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are also discussed in this Quarterly Report under the heading “Safe Harbor Statement and Risk Factors” later in this Item 2.
Overview
The drivers of our financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were similar compared to the prior year and prior quarter periods with two important exceptions. First, we recorded a $411,000 one-time gain on the bargain purchase of certain wireless operations in Joplin, Missouri. Second, we recorded a $148,000 one-time expense in connection with increasing our Texas franchise tax accrual for the current and prior years. Additionally, our operating results for the March 2012 quarter included approximately $30,000 of expenses that were directly related to the Joplin Acquisition, accounting for 44.8% of the $67,000 increase operating expenses, compared to the prior year period.
The Joplin Acquisition expense was comprised of $24,000 in duplicate operating costs incurred to ensure continuous service to the acquired subscribers post-closing and approximately $6,000 in legal fees and travel expenses. This $30,000 expense item negatively impacted the quarter as it is reflected in operating expenses.
The accrual charge for past and current year Texas franchise tax payments resulted from a recent review by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts of our 2007 and 2008 Texas franchise tax reports, which review concluded that our previous method of calculating franchise tax owed was not correct. We are now fully accrued for our past and current year franchise tax liabilities using the Texas Comptroller’s preferred method.
We remain positive on the Joplin Acquisition in spite of the additional one-time expenses required to maintain service to the acquired Joplin customers. We expect to eliminate these duplicate expenses within the next 30 to 60 days. We continue to look at acquisitions as well as focusing on internal revenue growth. While we continue to use our cash on systems upgrades, the purchase and expenses associated with the Joplin Acquisition, heavier advertising and marketing expenses, and some expansions, our cash position remains strong and available for opportunities as they may present themselves. We note, however, that with our expected spending during the next two quarters focused primarily on major system upgrades and possibly some acquisitions, we expect our cash position to decrease during that period. Management is pleased about the consistency of our revenues and profits; our increase in usable cash; and our reduction in debt. We also feel that our trend is positive relative to revenue growth and we look forward to the coming quarters with cautious enthusiasm.

A brief description of each element of our operating expenses follows:
Connectivity and operations expenses consist primarily of setup costs for new subscribers, telecommunication costs, merchant processing fees, and wages of network operations and customer support personnel. Connectivity costs include fees paid to telephone companies for subscribers' dial-up connections to our network, fees paid to backbone providers for connections from our network to the Internet, and equipment and tower lease costs for our new wireless networks.
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of creative and production costs, costs of media placement, management salaries and call center wages. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative salaries, professional services, rent and other general office and business expenses.
Bad debt expenses (recoveries) consist primarily of customer accounts that have been deemed uncollectible and will potentially be written off in future periods, net of recoveries. Historically, the expense has been based on the aging of customer accounts whereby all customer accounts that are 90 days or older have been provided for as a bad debt expense.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line or double declining method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the capital lease term, as appropriate. Data communications equipment, computers, data servers and office equipment are depreciated over five years. Furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements are depreciated over five years or the lease term. Buildings are depreciated over fifteen years. Amortization expense consists of the amortization of subscriber acquisition costs, which are amortized over four years.
Our business is not subject to any significant seasonal influences.

(1) A subscriber represents an active, billed service. One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA, which as used herein means earnings before the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization , stock based compensation, gain on bargain purchase and transfer of assets, is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a measure of performance. Management has consistently used adjusted EBITDA on a historical basis as a measurement of the Company’s current operating cash income.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.
Total revenue. Total revenue increased by $114,000, or 6.6%, to $1,842,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $1,728,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.Wireless broadband Internet revenue increased by $200,000 to $1,420,000 during the current year period compared to $1,220,000 for the prior year period, primarily due to growth of the subscriber base through acquisitions and internal efforts and customers migrating to upgraded service levels and purchasing additional services during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in revenues derived from wireless broadband Internet subscribers was partially offset by a decrease in other types of Internet service revenues of $86,000 during the current year period compared to the prior year period, which is primarily attributed to the expected decline of dial-up customers.
Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $12,000, or 1.1%, to $1,060,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $1,072,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Data and telecommunications expense decreased by $13,000 to $317,000 for the current year period compared to $330,000 for the prior year period, due to our renegotiating more favorable terms with telecommunications service providers. Expensed assets also decreased by $34,000 to $45,000 for the current year period compared to $79,000 for the prior year period, due to decrease in supplies, installation costs and repairs.
The above described decrease in expenses was partially offset by an increase in salaries, wages and related personnel expense by approximately $4,000 to $476,000 for the current year period compared to $472,000 for the prior year period, which is attributed mainly to the increase in employees to accommodate increased operations. Additionally related, there was an increase in travel and mileage expense of $14,000 to $42,000 for the current year period compared to $28,000 for the prior year period. Tower lease costs increased $16,000 to $139,000 for the current year period compared to $123,000 for the prior year period, which is primarily attributed to tower leases assumed in the Joplin acquisition. Merchant fees increased by $1,000 to $41,000 for the current year period compared to $40,000 for the prior year period.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased by $91,000, or 182.4%, to $141,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Salaries, wages and related personnel costs increased by approximately $33,000 to $61,000 for the current year period compared to $28,000 for the prior year period, which is attributed mainly to the addition of sales personnel to expand sales efforts. Advertising expense increased by $19,000 to $35,000 for the current year period compared to $16,000 for the prior year period primarily due to the Company bringing all direct advertising related expenses in house to streamline cost and focus on all improved or enhanced network areas. The remainder of this increase is attributed to the addition of an outside sales force for a total of $39,000 for the current year period, as compared to $0 for the prior year period. Facilities expense remained constant at $6,000 for the current and prior year periods.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased by $12,000, or 3.5%, to $356,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $344,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Personnel costs increased by $28,000 to $123,000 for the current year period compared to $95,000 for the prior year period due to the addition of full time employees. Insurance expense increased by $3,000 to $28,000 for the current year period compared to $25,000 for the prior year period due to the addition of full time employee benefits. There was an increase of $11,000 to $61,000 for current year period compared to $50,000 for the prior year period in other general and administrative expenses. Personnel travel expenses increased by $1,000 to $6,000 for the current year period compared to $5,000 for the prior year period. There was also a slight increase in rents and utilities expense of $1,000 to $44,000 in the current year period from $43,000 in the prior year period.
The above described increases were partially offset by the decrease in stock compensation expense and directors’ fees of $16,000 to $13,000 for the current year period compared to $29,000 for the prior year period. In addition, telecommunications expense decreased by $8,000 to $41,000 for the current year period compared to $49,000 for the prior year period, and professional and consulting fees decreased by $8,000 to $40,000 for the current year period compared to $48,000 for the prior year period.

Provision for (recovery of) bad debt expense. Recovery of bad debt expense remained constant at $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and three months ended March 31, 2011. Due to our practice of billing in advance of providing services and our policy regarding discontinuation of services for non-payment, we rarely, if ever, have customer accounts that are more than 60 days past due. We fully reserve for account balances more than 90 days past due, which resulted in an insignificant allowance for uncollectable accounts at March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $25,000, or 9.5%, to $239,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $264,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease is due to a $62,000 decrease in amortization expense relating to acquired subscriber costs resulting from the Company’s prior wireless acquisitions in fiscal 2006 and 2007 becoming fully amortized partially offset by a $37,000 increase in depreciation relating to improvements in existing wireless broadband Internet infrastructure and equipment and infrastructure acquired in the Joplin acquisition.
Interest income and expense. Interest expense decreased by $4,000, or 33.3%, to $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily resulting from the reduction in the Company's long-term debt. Interest income decreased by $1,000, or 50%, to $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Texas franchise tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a one-time expense of $148,000 to increase the accrual for Texas franchise tax obligations for current and prior tax years. This charge resulted from a recent review by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts of our 2007 and 2008 Texas franchise tax reports, which review concluded that our previous method of calculating franchise tax owed was not correct. We are now fully accrued for our past and current year franchise tax liabilities using the Texas Comptroller’s preferred method.
Gain on bargain purchase. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized a one-time gain of $411,000 on a bargain purchase resulting from the Joplin Acquisition, which closed on January 31, 2012.

(1) A subscriber represents an active, billed service. One customer account may represent multiple subscribers depending on the number of active and billed services for that customer.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA, which as used herein means earnings before the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization , stock based compensation, gain on bargain purchase and transfer of assets, is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a measure of performance. Management has consistently used adjusted EBITDA on a historical basis as a measurement of the Company’s current operating cash income.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.
Total revenue. Total revenue increased by $236,000, or 4.5%, to $5,465,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from $5,229,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Wireless broadband Internet revenue increased by $477,000 to $4,096,000 for the current year period compared to $3,619,000 for the prior year period, primarily due to growth of the subscriber base through acquisitions and internal efforts and customers migrating to upgraded service levels and purchasing additional services during the current year period. Increased revenues derived from wireless broadband Internet subscribers were offset by decreases in other types of Internet service revenues of $241,000 during the current year period compared to the prior year period, which is primarily attributed to the expected decline of dial-up customers moving to other providers’ broadband service.
Connectivity and operations. Connectivity and operations expense decreased by $77,000, or 2.4%, to $3,140,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from $3,217,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Salaries, wages and related personnel expense decreased by $55,000 to $1,376,000 for the current year period compared to $1,431,000 for the prior year period, which is attributed mainly to the reduction in headcount to streamline our efficiencies gained from quality process initiatives. Data and telecommunications expense decreased by $56,000 to $932,000 for the current year period compared to $988,000 for the prior year period due to decreased call volume made by improvements in our systems and renegotiating more favorable terms with telecommunications service providers. Expensed assets decreased by $26,000 to $215,000 for the current year period compared to $241,000 for the prior year period.
The above described decreases were partially offset by an increase in tower lease costs of $33,000 to $392,000 for the current year period compared to $359,000 for the prior year period, which is primarily attributed to tower leases assumed in the Joplin acquisition. Travel and mileage expense increased by $21,000 to $101,000 for the current year period compared to $80,000 for the prior year period. Merchant fees expense increased by $6,000 to $124,000 for the current year period compared to $118,000 for the prior year period.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased by $179,000, or 118.5%, to $330,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $151,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This increase is primarily due to the addition of an outside sales force of $102,000 for the current year period. Salaries, wages and related personnel costs increased by approximately $37,000 to $142,000 for the current year period compared to $105,000 for the prior year period due to the addition of sales personnel. Advertising expense increased by $40,000 to $68,000 for the current year period compared to $28,000 for the prior year period.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense increased by $118,000, or 12.3%, to $1,076,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from $958,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Personnel costs increased by $79,000 to $338,000 for the current year period compared to $259,000 for the prior year period due to addition of full time employees including Director of Corporate Development and Director of Sales. Other general and administrative costs increased by $37,000 to $178,000 for the current year period compared to $141,000 for the prior year period. Travel expenses increased by $12,000 to $22,000 for the current year period compared to $10,000 for the prior year period. Professional and consulting fees increased by $5,000 to $145,000 for the current year period compared to $140,000 for the prior year period. Insurance expense increased by $4,000 to $71,000 for the current year period compared to $67,000 for the prior year period.
The expense related to the issuance of stock options and directors’ fees decreased by $12,000 to $52,000 for the current year period compared to $64,000 for the prior year period. Telecommunications and facilities expense decreased by $7,000 to $133,000 for the current year period, from $140,000 for the prior year period.

Provision for (recovery of) bad debt expense. Provision for bad debt expense was $3,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a recovery of bad debt expense of $1,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 due to decreased recoveries. Due to our practice of billing in advance of providing services and our policy regarding discontinuation of services for non-payment, we rarely, if ever, have customer accounts that are more than 60 days past due. We fully reserve for account balances more than 90 days past due, which resulted in an insignificant allowance for uncollectable accounts at March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $141,000, or 18.4%, to $626,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from $767,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease is due to a $193,000 decrease in amortization expense relating to acquired subscriber costs resulting from the Company’s prior wireless acquisitions in fiscal 2006 and 2007 becoming fully amortized partially offset by a $52,000 increase in depreciation relating to improvements in existing wireless broadband Internet infrastructure and equipment and infrastructure acquired in the Joplin acquisition.
Loss from transfer of assets. In July 2010, former owners of TeleShare surrendered their noncontrolling interest in exchange for $25,000 of certain assets and liabilities of TeleShare. The Company recognized a loss of $26,000 on the transfer of these assets.
Interest income and expense. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense of $28,000 and $41,000, respectively. The $13,000, or 31.7%, decrease in interest expense is related to a decrease in acquisition debt and in the RUS loan outstanding. Interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $2,000, or 40%, to $3,000 as compared to $5,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Texas franchise tax expense. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a one-time expense of $148,000 to increase the accrual for Texas franchise tax obligations for current and prior tax years. This charge resulted from a recent review by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts of our 2007 and 2008 Texas franchise tax reports, which review concluded that our previous method of calculating franchise tax owed was not correct. We are now fully accrued for our past and current year franchise tax liabilities using the Texas Comptroller’s preferred method.
Gain on bargain purchase. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized a one-time gain of $411,000 on a bargain purchase resulting from the Joplin Acquisition, which closed on January 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations to date primarily through (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) public and private sales of equity securities and (iii) loans from shareholders and third parties. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized net income of $303,000 and $528,000, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized positive cash flow of $219,000, thereby enabling the Company to fund its operations from current period cash flows and resulting in cash on hand of $1,731,000 at March 31, 2012, compared to cash on hand of $1,513,000 at June 30, 2011. The Company expects to continue to fund its operations during fiscal 2012 with cash flow from operations. The Company will continue to focus on sales and expense management during fiscal 2012 and expects continuing improvement in profits in the near and medium term.
The Company plans to pursue strategic acquisitions in the near and medium term in addition to upgrading its systems to provide higher speeds and increased reliability for its customers. We expect that our capital expenditures and any future acquisitions will be funded from available cash, public or private sales of debt or equity securities, or borrowing from commercial banks and/or third parties; however there is no assurance that such financing will be able to be obtained when needed at desirable rates which could affect our success in achieving any or all of our initiatives. Any unexpected decreases in revenue or subscriber count may adversely affect our liquidity and plans for future growth.
Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, cash provided by operations was $999,000 compared to $857,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, net income plus non-cash items contributed cash of $762,000 compared to $884,000 during the prior year period. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $236,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and used cash of $27,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $404,000 and $322,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively, which increase relates primarily to the improvements in existing wireless broadband Internet infrastructure and cash paid for acquisitions.
Cash used in financing activities, which totaled $376,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, consisted of principal payments on long-term debt, including notes related to acquisitions and the RUS loan. Cash used in financing activities, which totaled $345,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, consisted of principal payments on long term-debt and capital leases.
Cash on hand increased by $219,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. We believe our continuing efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of our operations, along with our focus on increasing revenues, may lead to a more rapid rate of growth and continued increases in cash flow from operations.

“Safe Harbor” Statement and Risk Factors
The following "Safe Harbor" Statement is made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain of the statements contained in the body of this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements (rather than historical facts) that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. With respect to such forward-looking statements, we seek the protections afforded by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These risks include, without limitation, that (1) we will not be able to increase our rural customer base at the expected rate, (2) we will not improve EBITDA, profitability or product margins, (3) Internet revenue in high-speed broadband will continue to increase at a slower pace than the decrease in revenue from other Internet services resulting in greater operating losses in future periods, (4) financing will not be available to us if and as needed, (5) we will not be competitive with existing or new competitors, (6) we will not keep up with industry pricing or technological developments impacting the Internet, (7) we will be adversely affected by dependence on network infrastructure, telecommunications providers and other vendors or by regulatory changes, (8) service interruptions or impediments could harm our business, (9) acts of God and other events outside our control, such as hurricanes and other dangerous weather conditions, fires and lightning, could damage or destroy our facilities and network infrastructure, (10) we may be accused of infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, which will be costly to defend and could limit our ability to use certain technologies in the future, (11) government regulations could force us to change our business practices, (12) we may be unable to hire and retain qualified personnel, including our key officers, (13) future acquisitions of wireless broadband Internet customers and infrastructure may not be available on attractive terms and, if available, we may not successfully integrate those acquisitions into our operations, (14) provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and shareholder rights plan could limit our share price and delay a change of management and (15) our stock price has historically been thinly traded and volatile and may continue to be thinly traded and volatile. This list is intended to identify certain of the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements included elsewhere herein but is not a comprehensive list of all of such factors.
