Note 1 – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

 

Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.

 

Through the Company’s subsidiary, Wireless Wisconsin, LLC, the Company provides high speed wireless Internet connections to residents in rural communities, as well as some dial-up internet services to businesses and residents within various markets throughout rural Wisconsin. The Company operates in both a regulated and non-regulated environment.

 

Through the Company’s subsidiary, Capaciti Networks, Inc., the Company generates sales of both wired and wireless services, including products, wireless data cards, back office platform and rate plans to their commercial and enterprise clients.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company began its program of selling FCC Registered Links and related telecommunication equipment.

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred continuous losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit of $18,870,109 and a working capital deficit of $5,320,299 at March 31, 2016, and has reported negative cash flows from operations in most periods over the last seven years. In addition, the Company does not currently have the cash resources to meet its operating commitments for the next twelve months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive nature of the industry in which the Company operates.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet its cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that cash generated by operations will be adequate to meet the Company’s needs. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 2 – Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of the following:

 

		March 31,				December 31,

Furniture and fixtures			44,746				44,746
			1,097,538				1,097,538
Less accumulated depreciation			(368,212	)			(315,344	)
		$	729,326			$	782,194

 

Depreciation expense totaled $52,868 and $53,248 for the three months ending March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

 

Note 3 – Construction in Process

 

Construction in process consists of equipment and materials that will be used to construct network, plant property and equipment. Equipment and materials related to links that have not gone live is a small portion of the value of this account and when installed for that purpose will be treated as cost of goods sold. Largely the value of the equipment and materials will be capitalized when each construction project is completed. This account will also hold certain direct and indirect non-equipment costs until construction of a market has been completed and capitalized.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Various statements have been made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements may also be made in Competitive Companies, Inc.’s other reports filed with or furnished to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other documents. In addition, from time to time, Competitive Companies, Inc. (“CCI,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) through its management may make oral forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “optimistic,” “intend,” “plan,” “aim,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements.   The most important facts that could prevent us from achieving our stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

(r)

inability to obtain patent or other protection for our proprietary intellectual property;

 

(m)

uncollectible accounts and the need to incur expenses to collect amounts owed to us; and

 

(n)

There is no assurance that we will be profitable, we may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market our products and services, we may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and technology personnel, we may not be able to obtain customers for our products or services or successfully compete, our products and services may become obsolete, government regulation may hinder our business, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants, and stock options, the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, or other risks inherent in our businesses. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Business

 

Competitive Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada in October 2001 and acts as a holding company for its operating subsidiaries, Wytec International, Inc. (“Wytec”), Wylink, Inc., Wireless Wisconsin LLC, Capaciti Networks, Inc., Innovation Capital Management, Inc., and Innovation Capital Management LLC (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Company and its Subsidiaries (also collectively referred to as “CCI”) are involved in providing next generation fixed and mobile wireless broadband Internet services nationally and internationally to wholesale, retail and enterprise customers.

 

Due to developments in our intellectual property and the continued development of our municipal and governmental relationships along with the addition of key personnel and consultants, management intended to enter into 30 markets by year-end 2015. This strategy was redesigned to reduce market entry costs and enhance marketing capabilities along with the development of a commissioned based agent sales channel and telemarketing. Included in our market entry schedule are new products and services for small and medium businesses and our continued optimization strategies for assisting municipalities in leveraging current assets such as utility poles for maximum utilization related to the provisioning of telecommunications and machine to machine (“M2M”) services.

 

We plan to accomplish these objectives by applying the extended development of our current intellectual property consisting of our latest patent pending LPN-16 Micro Cell technology along with our proprietary millimeter backhaul design to build our anticipated 5G platform network. We believe the benefit of a 5G network is its ability to support multiple mobile communications services, including but not limited to, public safety, first responder, machine to machine, and carrier offload services.

 

Currently our network design is capable of delivering bandwidth services of up to 1.5 gigabits per second to a wide range of customers including small, midsize and large corporate operations located in Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three (the term “Tier” defines the population size of the link location) cities throughout the United States. Our millimeter wave technology serves as the backbone for our platform networks capable of supporting a host of high capacity data throughput objectives.

 

On December 18, 2015, Wytec performed an outside speed test on the first LPN-16 working prototype and produced record performance speeds in excess of 500 Mbps to a smart phone and 600 Mbps to a laptop computer. Earlier speed tests and network demonstrations enabled us, through Wytec, to consummate our first services agreement with the City of Columbus on July 7, 2014, Wytec has now substantially completed its footprint coverage of the Central Business District (“CBD”) of Columbus, Ohio in preparation for the Company’s new marketing and sales strategy.

 

Overview of Current Operations

 

We continue to shift our focus away from our past revenue sources, such as, web hosting, dial-up, wireless, DSL, and wired internet services, and move toward the design, development, and implementation of 4G/5G networks with an accelerated concentration towards the development of our “Smart City” concept. We believe recent national and international relationships have enhanced the progression of our “Smart City” development in conjunction with the growing relationships with city and state governments.

 

On November 8, 2011, we acquired Wytec, a non-operational company that owns five U.S. patents related to LMDS. LMDS deals primarily in the transmission of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data distribution utilizing millimeter wave spectrum. Though the patents are currently unusable in our current 4G/5G backhaul configuration, we intend to advance a derivative of the technology for usage in future 5G millimeter backhaul deployments. Millimeter wave technology continues to grow as the predominate choice in gigabyte data transmission for the future 5G network. .

 

 

On September 7, 2012, Wytec entered into a definitive agreement with General Patent Corporation (“GPC”) to form Wytec LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for the purpose of transferring ownership of our five patents originally owned by Wytec International, Inc. into Wytec LLC. GPC acts as the general member of the LLC and will assist in the monetization of the five patents.

 

Wytec’s current product development involves the design of a “micro cell” solution called the LPN-16 designed to meet the stringent bandwidth needs of both government “first responder” services as well as “carrier offload” services. Management believes the LPN-16 solution is the first of its kind specifically developed to participate in the Small Cells as a Service (“SCaaS”) market which has been forecasted by SNS Research to reach $15 billion globally by 2020. In addition to the SCaaS market, management believes the LPN-16 will support the needs of the massive growth of the machine to machine (“M2M”) market forecasted by SNS Research to account for nearly $196 billion in global revenues by the end of 2020.

 

Wytec’s LPN-16 is proprietary intellectual property of Wytec International, Inc for which management has applied for U.S. patent protection rights in the second quarter of 2014 and is a significant part of Wytec’s Intelligent Community Wi-Fi Network (“IWiN”). We intend to file international patent applications for the technology in the near future. Design and engineering of the LPN-16 have been completed with development of the first units being tested in an outdoor environment in San Antonio, Texas.

 

On June 9, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Wytec, formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Wylink, Inc., a Texas corporation, to market and sell millimeter wave spectrum in the licensed 60 & 90 Gigahertz frequency channels. The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has developed a unique application program giving the ability for qualified applicants to own millimeter spectrum under a program known as the Registered Link Program. We sell point-to-point registered links (“Registered Links”) as part of our backhaul solution in support of our 4G/5G Wi-Fi network. The cash received from the sale of our Registered Links is recorded as “deferred revenue” and will be recorded as revenue once the telecommunication equipment is installed for the link owners. Management closed the Wylink application program in January 2016.

 

Management now focuses its primary business on the development of Smart City broadband networks utilizing 4G/5G technologies capable of delivering speeds that are many times faster than current cellular networks and which can be utilized for a range of services for carriers, governmental and business applications.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments, particularly those related to the determination of the estimated recoverable amounts of trade accounts receivable, impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and deferred tax assets. We believe the following critical accounting policies require more significant judgment and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of our customers are unable to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes the age of customer balances, historical bad debt experience, customer credit-worthiness, and changes in customer payment terms when making estimates of the uncollectability of our trade accounts receivable balances. If we determine that the financial conditions of any of our customers deteriorated, whether due to customer specific or general economic issues, increases in the allowance may be made. Accounts receivable are written off when all collection attempts have failed.

 

We follow the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" for revenue recognition and SAB 104. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, four conditions must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.

 

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, to the extent that we believe that the deferred tax asset is not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided. In making this determination, we consider estimated future taxable income and taxable timing differences expected in the future. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Result of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $18,485, as compared to revenue of $19,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease in revenue of $1,104 or 6% was primarily due to decreases in sales from Wireless Wisconsin, LLC.

 

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $10,175, a decrease of $3,627, or 26%, from $13,802 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our cost of sales decreased primarily due to managing costs related to our sales operations.

 

General and administrative expenses were $541,960 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $493,299 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This resulted in an increase of $48,661 or 10% compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was largely a result of increased activity related to our link program costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Research and development costs were $4,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $6,012 of research and development costs for the year three months ended March 31, 2015. A decrease of $1,492, or 25% was due to decrease in expenses related to the development of Wytec’s LPN-16.

 

Salary and wage expenses were $197,772 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $202,141 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which resulted in a decrease of $4,419, or 2% compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease in salary and wages is due lower employee compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $276, as compared to $112,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This resulted in an decrease of $111,889 or 100% compared to the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the retirement of convertible and nonconvertible debentures.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing will be required in order to meet our current and projected cash requirements for operations. As of March 31, 2016, we had a working capital deficit of $5,320,299. As of March 31, 2016, $6,347,500 of our current liabilities is deferred revenue on Link sales that have been funded by the customer, for which obligations to the customer have not yet been completed. As of March 31, 2016, $62,001 of our current liabilities is for stock subscriptions payable for the obligation to issue units consisting of Wytec Series B Preferred Stock and Wytec common stock purchase warrants.

 

As of March 31, 2016, all our outstanding convertible debentures are in default or mature within the next twelve months and are classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our revenues are not expected to exceed our investment and operating costs in the next twelve months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of operations. To address these risks, we must, among other things, seek growth opportunities through investment and acquisitions, effectively monitor and manage our claims for payments that are owed to us, implement and successfully execute our business strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot assure that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.

 

As of March 31, 2016, our cash balance was $1,272,223. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through sales-generated income, private placements of Wytec’s capital stock, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate sales-generated income during that same period of time, but do not anticipate generating sufficient revenue to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to attempt to find sources of additional capital in the future to fund our growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. There is no assurance that we would be able to meet our working capital requirements through the private placement of equity or debt or from any other source.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company has reviewed the updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, and determined that the updates are either not applicable to the Company or will not have a material impact on the Company.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, William Gray, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2016. Specifically, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in timely alerting our management to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, for the following reasons:

 

·	We do not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties.
·	All of our financial reporting is generated by our financial consultant.
·	We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.

 

We have begun to rectify these weaknesses by hiring additional accounting personnel and will create an independent board of directors once we have additional resources to do so.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our chief executive officer and principal financial officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
