TOWERSTREAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1.    Organization and Nature of Business

 

Towerstream Corporation (referred to as ‘‘Towerstream’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated in Delaware in December 1999. The Company provides broadband services to commercial customers and delivers access over a wireless network transmitting over both regulated and unregulated radio spectrum. The Company’s service supports bandwidth on demand, wireless redundancy, virtual private networks (“VPNs”), disaster recovery, bundled data and video services. The Company provides broadband services to business customers in twelve metropolitan markets consisting of New York City, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Nashville, Las Vegas-Reno and Providence-Newport.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company launched its Wi-Fi/Small Cell rooftop tower sites (“rooftop tower sites”) which is marketed towards mobile operators, Internet based marketing companies and Wi-Fi operators.

 

Note 2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk.    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances of approximately $15,116,000 in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. Under the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee (“TAG”) program, non-interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts have full federal deposit insurance coverage through December 31, 2012. The Company has one noninterest-bearing transaction deposit account with a balance of approximately $523,000 as of September 30, 2012 that is covered under the TAG program.

 

The Company also had approximately $7,766,000 invested in three institutional money market funds. These funds are protected under the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, a nonprofit membership corporation which provides limited coverage up to $500,000.

 

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects the Company’s estimate of balances that will be not collected. The allowance is based on the history of past write-offs, the aging of balances, collections experience and current credit conditions. Additions include provisions for doubtful accounts and deductions include customer write-offs.

TOWERSTREAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended September 30,   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
Beginning of period  $275,070   $228,447   $262,525   $118,825 
Additions   50,000    105,000    219,082    302,491 
Deductions   (113,656)   (50,784)   (270,193)   (138,653)
End of period  $211,414   $282,663   $211,414   $282,663 

 

Business Acquisitions. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the consideration transferred on the acquisition date.  When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the acquired assets and liabilities assumed for the appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions at the acquisition date. The excess of the total consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.  If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognized as a gain on business acquisition. Acquisition costs are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company normally enters into contractual agreements with its customers for periods ranging between one to three years. The Company recognizes the total revenue provided under a contract ratably over the contract period, including any periods under which the Company has agreed to provide services at no cost. The Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or installation has been completed, (iii) the customer accepts and verifies receipt, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Deferred Revenues. Customers are billed monthly in advance. Deferred revenues are recognized for that portion of monthly charges not yet earned as of the end of the reporting period. Deferred revenues are also recognized for certain customers who pay for their services in advance.

 

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in an acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is reviewed annually for impairment, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company initially performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill which considers macro-economic conditions, industry and market trends, and the current and projected financial performance of the reporting unit.  No further analysis is required if it is determined that there is a less than 50 percent likelihood that the carrying value is greater than the fair value. 

 

Reclassifications.    Certain accounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), to simplify how entities test indefinite-lived intangibles assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 allows entities to assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. This pronouncement becomes effective for annual and interim tests performed for the fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

Subsequent Events. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of this filing.

 

Note 3.    Business Acquisitions

 

Delos Internet

 

In August 2012, the Company and Delos Internet (“Delos”) entered into a binding merger agreement pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company will be merged with and into Delos, with Delos becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Delos operates in Houston, Texas. The closing of the merger agreement is subject to customary closing conditions as well as regulatory approval.  The Company anticipates, but cannot assure, that the merger agreement will close during the first quarter of 2013.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Color Broadband Communications Inc.

 

In May 2012, the Company finalized the purchase price of Color Broadband Communications Inc. (“Color Broadband”). The final purchase price of $5,098,996 is $220,885, or 4%, lower than the previously reported purchase price of $5,319,881. The finalization of the purchase price resulted in a reduction of approximately $261,000 of identifiable net assets and a reduction in the gain on business acquisition of approximately $40,000. The purchase price adjustment resulted in a decrease in the number of shares of common stock issued to Color Broadband of 98,506 from 925,736 to 827,230 shares. In addition, 45,600 shares of common stock were returned to the Company principally representing accounts receivable collections retained by Color Broadband during the post-closing transition services period.

 

One Velocity Inc.

 

In January 2012, the Company finalized the purchase price of the One Velocity Inc. (“One Velocity”) acquisition. The final purchase price of $2,881,959 is $557,773, or 16%, lower than the previously reported purchase price of $3,439,732. The adjustment resulted in a decrease of 117,426 shares of common stock issued to One Velocity, from 387,312 to 269,886 shares. In addition, the Company recognized additional gain on business acquisition of approximately $481,000 and a reduction of approximately $77,000 of identifiable net assets in the fourth quarter of 2011. The additional gain on business acquisition of approximately $481,000 has been retroactively adjusted and included in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value options granted to employees, directors and consultants. Compensation expense, including the effect of forfeitures, is recognized over the period of service, generally the vesting period. Stock-based compensation totaled $403,765 and $381,060 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Stock-based compensation totaled $1,249,925 and $565,615 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The unamortized amount of stock options expense totaled $2,500,724 as of September 30, 2012 which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

 

The fair values of stock option grants were calculated on the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   Three Months Ended September 30,   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
Risk-free interest rate   -    1.6%-2.1%      0.6% - 1.0%    1.6%-2.1% 
Expected volatility   -    50%-56%    65% - 74%    50%-58% 
Expected life (in years)   -    5.7 - 6.4    5 - 5.3    5.3 - 6.4 
Expected dividend yield   -    -    -    - 
Weighted average per share grant date fair value   -   $2.59   $2.16   $2.61 

 

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The Company’s expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the Company’s options was determined using the simplified method as a result of limited historical data regarding the Company’s activity. The dividend yield is based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company issued 90,000 shares of restricted stock to two executives. The fair value of the shares was $354,600 and was based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The restricted stock vests over a three year period, of which 30,000 shares were vested as of September 30, 2012. Stock-based compensation for restricted stock totaled $29,550 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Stock-based compensation for restricted stock totaled $88,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Unrecognized compensation cost of $147,750 at September 30, 2012 will be recognized ratably through December 2013.

Exercisable as of September 30, 2012   2,931,888   $2.31 

 

A total of 142,806 and 252,371 options were exercised on a cashless basis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, resulting in the net issuance of 96,419 and 161,027 shares. Under a cashless exercise, the holder uses a portion of the shares that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise as consideration for the exercise. The amount of net shares issuable in connection with a cashless exercise will vary based on the exercise price of the option compared to the current market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise.

 

A total of 173,643 and 315,793 options were exercised on a cash basis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which resulted in proceeds of $151,441 and $312,853, respectively.

 

Cancellations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included 14,370 options related to employee terminations, 18,750 options that were repurchased and 75,000 options that expired. The 18,750 options had a fair value of $34,986.

 

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding options as of September 30, 2012 was 6.1 years.

 

The intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options totaled $6,239,706 and $5,937,671, respectively, as of September 30, 2012. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock at September 28, 2012, which was $4.06 per share, and the exercise price of the options.

 

The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of an option will be lower if a holder elects to exercise on a cashless basis.

 

Note 9.    Stock Warrants

 

Warrant transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were as follows:

 

   Number   Weighted Average Exercise Price

There was no intrinsic value associated with the outstanding and exercisable warrants as of September 30, 2012. The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock at September 28, 2012, which was $4.06 per share, and the exercise price of the warrants.

 

The weighted average remaining contractual life as of September 30, 2012 was 3.8 years.

 

The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of a warrant will be lower if a holder elects to exercise on a cashless basis.

 

Note 10. Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Note 11. Fair Value Measurement

 

Valuation Hierarchy

 

The FASB’s accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

    Total Carrying Value   Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1)   Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)   Significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3)
 
 September 30, 2012   $23,132,521   $23,132,521   $-   $- 
 December 31, 2011   $44,672,587   $44,672,587   $-   $- 

 

Note 12.    Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share has been calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive. The exercise or issuance of these common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2012 would dilute earnings per share if the Company becomes profitable in the future. The exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants could potentially generate proceeds up to approximately $14,822,000 if exercised by the holder for cash.

Overview

 

We provide broadband services to commercial customers and deliver access over a wireless network transmitting over both regulated and unregulated radio spectrum. Our service supports bandwidth on demand, wireless redundancy, virtual private networks (“VPNs”), disaster recovery, bundled data and video services. We provide broadband services to business customers in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Nashville, Las Vegas-Reno and Providence-Newport.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we launched our Wi-Fi/Small Cell rooftop tower sites (“rooftop tower sites”) which is marketed towards mobile operators, Internet based marketing companies, and Wi-Fi operators. 

 

In the first half of 2012, we entered into two agreements with national wireless carriers utilizing our current and future rooftop tower sites.

 

In August 2012, we entered into a binding merger agreement with Delos Internet (“Delos”) pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of ours will be merged with and into Delos, with Delos becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. Delos operates in Houston, Texas. The closing of the merger agreement is subject to customary closing conditions as well as regulatory approval.  We anticipate, but cannot assure, that the merger agreement will close during the first quarter of 2013.

 

Characteristics of our Revenues and Expenses

 

We offer broadband services under agreements for periods ranging between one to three years. Pursuant to these agreements, we bill customers on a monthly basis, in advance, for each month of service. Payments received in advance of services performed are recorded as deferred revenues and recognized as revenue ratably over the service period.

 

Costs of revenues consists of expenses that are directly related to providing services to our customers, including Core Network expenses (tower and roof rent and utilities, bandwidth costs, Points of Presence (“PoP”) maintenance and other) and Customer Network expenses (customer maintenance, non-installation fees and other customer specific expenses).  We collectively refer to Core Network and Customer Network as our “Network,” and Core Network costs and Customer Network costs as “Network Costs.”  When we first enter a new market, or expand in an existing market, we are required to incur up-front costs in order to be able to provide wireless broadband services to commercial customersWe refer to these activities as establishing a “Network Presence. These costs include constructing PoPs in buildings in which we have a lease agreement (“Company Locations”) where we install a substantial amount of equipment in order to connect numerous customers to the Internet.  The costs to build PoPs are capitalized and expensed over a five year period.  In addition to building PoPs, we also enter into tower and roof rental agreements, secure bandwidth and incur other Network Costs.  Once we have established a Network Presence in a new market or expanded our Network Presence in an existing market, we are capable of servicing a significant number of customers through that Network Presence.  The variable cost to add new customers is relatively modest, especially compared to the up-front cost of establishing or expanding our Network Presence.  As a result, our gross margins in a market normally increase over time as we add new customers in that market.  However, we may experience variability in gross margins during periods in which we are expanding our Network Presence in a market.

 

13
 

 

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of the salaries, benefits, travel and other costs of our sales and marketing teams, as well as marketing initiatives and business development expenses.

 

Customer support services include salaries and related payroll costs associated with our customer support services, customer care, and installation and operations staff.

 

General and administrative expenses include costs attributable to corporate overhead and the overall support of our operations. Salaries and other related payroll costs for executive management, finance, administration and information systems personnel are included in this category. Other costs include office rent, utilities and other facilities costs, accounting, legal and other professional services, and other general operating expenses.

 

Market Information

 

We operate in one segment which is the business of wireless broadband services. Although we provide services in multiple markets, these operations have been aggregated into one reportable segment based on the similar economic characteristics among all markets, including the nature of the services provided and the type of customers purchasing such services. While we operate in only one business segment, we recognize that providing information on the revenues and costs of operating in each market can provide useful information to investors regarding our operating performance.

 

As of September 30, 2012, we operated in twelve metropolitan markets consisting of New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Seattle, Dallas-Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Nashville, Las Vegas-Reno and Providence-Newport. The markets were launched at different times, and as a result, may have different operating metrics based on their size and stage of maturation. We incur significant up-front costs in order to establish a Network Presence in a new market.  These costs include building PoPs and incurring Network Costs.  Other material costs include hiring and training sales and marketing personnel who will be dedicated to securing customers in that market. Once we have established a Network Presence in a new market, we are capable of servicing a significant number of customers. The rate of customer additions varies from market to market, and we are unable to predict how many customers will be added in a market during any specific period. We believe that providing operating information regarding each of our markets provides useful information to shareholders in understanding the leveraging potential of our business model, the operating performance of our mature markets, and the long-term potential for our newer markets. Set forth below is a summary of our operating performance on a per-market basis, and a description of how each category is determined.

 

Revenues: Revenues are allocated based on which market each customer is located in.

 

Centralized Costs: Represents costs incurred to support activities across all of our markets that are not allocable to a specific market. These principally consists of payroll costs for customer care representatives, customer support engineers, sales support, marketing and certain installations personnel. These individuals service customers across all markets rather than being dedicated to any specific market.

 

Costs of Revenues: Includes payroll, Core Network costs and Customer Network costs that can be allocated to a specific market.

 

Operating Costs: Represents costs that can be specifically allocated to a market which include direct sales personnel, certain direct marketing expenses, certain customer support and installation payroll expenses and third party commissions.

 

Corporate Expenses: Includes costs attributable to corporate overhead and the overall support of our operations. Salaries and related payroll costs for executive management, finance, administration and information systems personnel are included in this category. Other costs include office rent, utilities and other facilities costs, professional services and other general operating expenses.

 

Adjusted Market EBITDA: Represents a market’s income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other income (expense). We believe this metric provides useful information regarding the cash flow being generated in a market.

 

We entered the Las Vegas-Reno market in May 2011 through the acquisition of One Velocity, Inc. (“One Velocity”). The acquisition of Color Broadband Communications Inc. (“Color Broadband”) in December 2011 expanded our market presence in the Los Angeles area.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

 

Revenues. Revenues totaled $8,127,507 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $6,775,892 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 representing an increase of $1,351,615, or 20%. This increase was primarily related to a 14% increase in our customer base from approximately 3,200 at September 30, 2011 to approximately 3,600 at September 30, 2012.

 

Average revenue per user (“ARPU”) as of September 30, 2012 totaled $714 compared to $709 as of September 30, 2011 representing an increase of $5, or 1%. The increase in ARPU primarily related to a higher percentage of customers purchasing, or upgrading to, higher bandwidth service which generates greater monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”).  Customers purchasing more than 10 megabytes of bandwidth service, commonly referred to as point-to-point customers, increased from 34% of our customer base as of September 30, 2011 to 40% as of September 30, 2012. The customers acquired from One Velocity in May 2011 had an ARPU of $734 compared to $690 for our customer base which had the effect of increasing our post-acquisition ARPU by $2. The customers acquired from Color Broadband in December 2011 had an ARPU of $645 compared to $717 for our customer base which had the effect of decreasing our post-acquisition ARPU by $7.

 

Customer churn, calculated as a percent of revenue lost on a monthly basis from customers terminating service or reducing their service level, totaled 1.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 1.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our goal is to maintain churn levels between 1.4% and 1.7% which we believe is below industry averages of approximately 2.0%.

The gross base of depreciable assets as of September 30, 2012 increased by $25,548,274, or 57%, compared to September 30, 2011. The increase in the depreciable base during the twelve months ended September 30, 2012 reflects continued growth in the core business (approximately $11,798,000) as well as spending on rooftop tower sites (approximately $11,773,000) and additions resulting from acquisitions (approximately $1,977,000).

 

Amortization expense totaled $719,911 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $575,625 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 representing an increase of $144,286, or 25%.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities generally represent timing differences regarding payments and receipts, and are normally not indicative of operating results.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $725,070 compared to cash provided of $101,903 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities.    Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $17,883,461 compared to $12,094,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 representing an increase of $5,788,467, or 48%. The increase in the 2012 period related to higher spending on property and equipment which increased by $7,023,732, or 68%, from $10,358,737 to $17,382,469. Expenditures related to network equipment increased by approximately $2,212,000 in the 2012 period compared to the 2011 period.

Net Cash (Used In) Provided by Financing Activities.  Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $22,684 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $39,047,271 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease of $39,069,955, or greater than 100%. The decrease was primarily related to net proceeds of $38,834,709 received in July 2011 from the sale of 10,350,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering of $4.00 per share. The decrease also related to payments on capital leases which totaled approximately $384,802 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $96,890 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Working Capital.    As of September 30, 2012, we had working capital of $17,562,851. Based on our current operating activities and plans, we believe our existing working capital will enable us to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Capital Lease Obligations. We have entered into capital leases to acquire property and equipment expiring through May 2017. In December 2011, we entered into an agreement with Cisco Capital to acquire equipment related to our information technology infrastructure. The total lease obligation is approximately $2,100,000, of which approximately $1,400,000 commenced in the second quarter of 2012. The remaining $700,000 is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2013. These leases will be paid in various installments over a 60 month period from their respective commencement dates.

 

Operating Leases. We have entered into operating leases related to roof rights, cellular towers, office space, and equipment leases under various non-cancelable agreements expiring through December 2020.

 

Deferred Payments. We are making deferred payments to Pipeline as part of the consideration paid for the acquisition. There were 20 monthly payments of approximately $16,630 remaining as of September 30, 2012.

 

We acquired an agreement with the acquisition of Color Broadband related to the purchase of network equipment and licenses. There were 3 monthly payments of $10,000 remaining as of September 30, 2012.

 

Other. In December 2011, we entered into a one year information technology infrastructure support agreement. The agreement became effective at the end of the first quarter of 2012. The monthly payments are approximately $43,000 and will be paid through the first quarter of 2013.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, we utilize available information, including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming our estimates and judgments, giving appropriate consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to other companies in our industry. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and estimation, or are fundamentally important to our business.

 

Revenue Recognition.    We normally enter into contractual agreements with our customers for periods ranging between one to three years. We recognize the total revenue provided under a contract ratably over the contract period including any periods under which we have agreed to provide services at no cost. Deferred revenues are recognized as a liability when billings are issued in advance of the date when revenues are earned. We recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery or installation has been completed, (iii) the customer accepts and verifies receipt, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets with definite lives consist primarily of property and equipment, and intangible assets such as acquired customer contracts. Long-lived assets are evaluated periodically for impairment or whenever events or circumstances indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. Conditions that would result in an impairment charge include a significant decline in the fair value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. When such events or circumstances arise, an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if impairment exists. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured based on the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or net realizable value.

 

Business Acquisitions. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the consideration transferred on the acquisition date.  When we acquire a business, we assess the acquired assets and liabilities assumed for the appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions at the acquisition date. The excess of the total consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.  If the total consideration is lower than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognized as a gain on business acquisition. Acquisition costs are expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in an acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is reviewed annually for impairment, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We initially perform a qualitative assessment of goodwill which considers macro-economic conditions, industry and market trends, and the current and projected financial performance of the reporting unit.  No further analysis is required if it is determined that there is a less than 50 percent likelihood that the carrying value is greater than the fair value. 

 

Asset Retirement Obligations. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on asset retirement obligations addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated costs. This guidance requires the recognition of an asset retirement obligation and an associated asset retirement cost when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets.  Our network equipment is installed on both buildings in which we have a lease agreement (“Company Locations”) and at customer locations.  In both instances, the installation and removal of our equipment is not complicated and does not require structural changes to the building where the equipment is installed.  Costs associated with the removal of our equipment at Company or customer locations are not material, and accordingly, we have determined that we do not presently have asset retirement obligations under the FASB’s accounting guidance.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.    We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities known as ‘‘Special Purposes Entities.’’

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices.  Our primary market risk relates to interest rates.  At September 30, 2012, all cash and cash equivalents are immediately available cash balances.  A portion of our cash and cash equivalents are held in three institutional money market funds.   Our interest rate risk exposure is to a decline in interest rates which would result in a decline in interest income. Due to our current market yields, a further decline in interest rates would not have a material impact on earnings.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of September 30, 2012, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
