We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Fibergate Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

FIBERGATE HOLDINGS, INC. & SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Fibergate Holdings, Inc. is a privately held, C corporation, which was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in June 2006. It previously operated as FiberGate, Inc. which was incorporated in May 1995 and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fibergate Holdings, Inc. The Company leases dark (unlit) fiber optic cable lines for dedicated, high-speed data communications to customers throughout the metropolitan Washington, D.C./Baltimore, MD area. The Company currently owns and maintains approximately 650 miles of fiber optic lines representing approximately 130,000 fiber miles in D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
The majority of the Companys customers are agencies of the federal government (approximately 60%), with the remainder evenly divided between enterprises and communications carriers.
A summary of the Companys significant accounting policies follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.
Basis of Accounting
The Companys policy is to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting, with revenue being recognized when earned and expenses being recognized when the obligation is incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
6
Notes to Financial Statements
Revenue Recognition
The majority of the revenue is for the lease and maintenance of dedicated fiber lines which are leased on a monthly basis over contractual terms of generally three to five years and are recognized in the month in which it is earned. Nearly all customers renew their leases annually after the initial contract term. Customers are also often charged a one-time, up-front fee for the installation of fiber lines to be leased to them over the contract term. Such charges vary depending on the cost and magnitude of the installation.
| Installation revenue Revenue for installations is generally deferred when billed and is then recognized over a five-year period beginning with the commencement of the lease. The five-year period approximates the standard lease term. Smaller amounts billed to customers for connection charges or line relocation charges are recognized immediately as current period revenue. |
| Lease revenue Revenue for leases is recognized in the month in which it is earned. Leases billed in advance (e.g., annual contracts) are recorded as deferred lease income and subsequently recognized on a monthly basis as earned. |
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are stated at original contract amount less an estimate for doubtful receivables based on a review of outstanding amounts at the end of the year. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. There was no reserve for doubtful accounts recorded by management as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. There was no bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over useful lives of three to ten years, as follows:
Description |
Useful Life | |||
Furniture and fixtures |
5 years | |||
Vehicles |
5 years | |||
Machinery and equipment |
5 years | |||
Computers and software |
3 years | |||
Fiber network |
10 years | |||
Leasehold improvements |

Notes to Financial Statements
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments approximate their fair value.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be reversed.
Note 2. | Cash Balances |
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Note 3. | Property and Equipment |
The components of property and equipment as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

Note 8. | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company maintains a stock option plan (Fibergate Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan the Plan) under which shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for grants to employees, directors or affiliates of the Company. Under the Plan, the Company has granted incentive stock options to key individuals in accordance with Section 422 of the IRS Code. The exercise price per share of each option equals the fair market value, as determined, of the Companys common stock on the date of the grant. Options vest ratably over a period of three years and are exercisable over a ten-year period, except in the case of individuals who own greater than ten percent of the Company, in which case options are exercisable over a five-year period. In the event a change in control of the Company, as defined, all options become fully vested and immediately exercisable.
The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the plan was $60,256 and $35,344 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The Company uses historical volatility data for expected volatility and estimates the expected term of its stock options based on the historical life of the Companys options. The expected term represents an estimated of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
