SIRICOMM, INC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Nature of Operations:
SiriCOMM, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), through its wholly owned subsidiary of the same name, which was incorporated in the State of Missouri on April 24, 2000, has developed broadband wireless application service technologies intended for use in the transportation industries. We commenced our initial product offering of internet access in October 2004 and began revenue generation in December 2004.
SiriCOMM Digital Media Group, Inc. was incorporated June 21, 2006 in the State of Delaware. This Corporation was formed in anticipation of offering multimedia services via our hot spots. To date, this entity has not commenced operations.
Going Concern:
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred recurring losses from operations and as of March 31, 2007 our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $2,006,495. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. Management believes this factor will contribute toward achieving profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interim Information: Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are in the opinion of our management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments.
6
Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-KSB annual report for fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Stock-based Compensation:
At March 31, 2007 we have a stock based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Item 2. Prior to October 1 2006, we accounted for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations. Accordingly, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 and prior years the only stock based employee compensation cost reflected in net income was recognized on the intrinsic value method.
Effective October 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. We selected the modified prospective application. Accordingly, after October 1, 2006, we began expensing the fair value of stock options granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to options granted under our stock based compensation plans prior to October 1, 2006. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options was estimated using the trinomial option pricing formula and amortized on a straight line basis over the respective vesting periods of the awards.

Net loss per share:
Net loss per share represents the net loss available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if convertible preferred stock was converted into common stock. Diluted net loss per share is considered to be the same as basic net loss per share since the effect of the issuance of common stock associated with the convertible stock is anti-dilutive.
Reclassification:
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our net losses.
2. Stockholders Equity: |
During the six months ended March 31, 2007, 183,315 common shares were issued for various services provided. The total equity value recorded based on these transactions was $123,231.
During the six months ended March 31, 2007, 528,143 warrants were issued or granted for compensation and various services resulting in $142,400 of additional paid in capital and expense.
During the six months ended March 31, 2007, 360,000 options were also granted to employees as compensation. These options are being valued and expensed as they are earned. $80,356 has been recorded as expense relating to employee options for the six months ended March 31, 2007.
As a result of the loan agreement with Sunflower Capital, LLC, a related party, we agreed to issue a number of warrants to be determined based on the market price of our stock in the future. The number of warrants to be issued would be equal to $500,000 divided by the conversion price, which if not earlier determined, shall be determined as of the maturity date based on the market price of our stock during the loan period. Based on the current and recent market prices, we would be required to issue 2,777,778 warrants with an exercise price of $0.18. The fair market value of these warrants based on current conditions would be $1,110,278. As part of the agreement, we also extended the term on an aggregate of 4,537,661 warrants previously issued to Sunflower and its affiliates from various expiration dates to March 31, 2012. These extensions were valued at $425,079. See note 5 for further explanation of this note.
3. |
Preferred Stock |
On December 20, 2003 we issued an aggregate of 213,417 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to two investors upon conversion of debt in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 plus accrued interest of $13,417. The Series A Preferred Stock provides the holders the right to force the Company to redeem these shares together with all accrued and unpaid dividends at a redemption price equal to 110% of the stated value ($1.00) at any time commencing three years from issuance (December 10, 2006). In the event the holders elect to force redemption,
8
the Company would be required to pay the holders approximately $300,000. It is unlikely that the Company would be able to make this payment in such event or have funds legally available therefore.
4. Commitments and Contingencies:
Employment agreements:
As of March 31, 2007, we had entered into two employment agreements with certain officers and directors.
One agreement obligates us to pay compensation of $175,000 annually through July 2008.
The second agreement, which we entered into on February 12, 2007, is with our current President and Chief Executive Officer and calls for annual compensation of $150,000, an immediate grant of 150,000 options to purchase shares of our common stock, and 150,000 options to be awarded by at the discretion of the Board, based on performance measures, at the end of this fiscal year.
5. Convertible Note Payable to Related Party:
On March 15, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (Loan Agreement) with Sunflower Capital, LLC, a limited liability company managed by a Director of the Company. The loan is in the principal amount of up to $500,000 of which $300,000 has been funded to date and is evidenced by a 10% Convertible Promissory Note due February 29, 2008 (the Note). As consideration for Sunflower making the loan, the Company amended an aggregate of 4,537,661 warrants previously issued to Sunflower and its affiliates to extend the expiration date of all those warrants to March 31, 2012 and eliminate all redemption rights contained in those warrants. The loan is secured by all of the Companys assets. However, Sunflower has subordinated its security interest in the Companys network to the security interest of Quest Capital Alliance, L.L.C., described below. A discount of $250,963 was recorded based on the estimated fair value of both the extended warrants and the additional warrants to be issued and will be expensed over the life of the loan as interest expense.
As additional consideration for making the loan commitment, the Company shall issue Sunflower a 5-year warrant on the earlier of the date of conversion or maturity date. The number of warrants to be issued will be equal to $500,000 divided by Conversion Price (which, if not earlier determined, shall be determined as of the Maturity Date). This warrant will be issued regardless of whether Sunflower elects to convert the Note. The exercise price of these warrants shall be equal to the conversion price of the Note.
The Note converts at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a variable conversion price determined by taking the lowest volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock for any five consecutive trading days during the period from the date of issuance to the date of the conversion notice. See note 2 for further explanation of the loan agreement.

6. Stock-Based Compensation
Adoption of SFAS 123R:
Prior to October 1, 2006, our stock-based employee compensation plan was accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123). We generally did not recognize stock based compensation cost in our statement of operations for periods prior to October 1, 2006 as most options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. However, compensation expense was recognized under APBO 25 for certain options based upon the intrinsic value (the difference between the exercise price and the deemed fair value of the common stock at the date of grant.)
Effective October 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) using the modified prospective transition method. Results from prior periods have not been restated.
We recorded additional employee expenses of $80,356 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R for the six months ended March 31, 2007. Operating loss, net loss and loss available to common stockholders was greater due to this additional expense. Basic and diluted loss per share available to common shareholders was $.01 more a result of recording this additional expense.
Equity Incentive Plan:
We have adopted a stock option plan under which we may grant options that vest immediately to its employees for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the stock option plan, we may issue to eligible persons: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock performance awards and bonus stock until May 15, 2012. The exercise price of each qualified incentive option is greater than or equal to the fair value of our stock on the date of grant. We may issue non-qualified options at any price the Board of Directors deems fair. An options maximum term is 10 years.
A summary of the status of the plan at March 31, 2007 and 2006 and changes during the years then ended is presented below:

The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black Scholes model. We had previously used the trinomial model, but because it is more commonly accepted, changed to Black Scholes in 2007. The comparative results of both methods did not materially differ.

We had 106,000 and 23,000 non-vested shares as of March 31 2007 and 2006.

As of March 31, 2006, there was $36,095 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 quarters. 10,000 options vested during the quarter ended March 31 2007. There were no options which vested during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in our statement of cash flows. In accordance with guidance in SFAS 123R, the cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits (tax benefits related to the excess of proceeds from employees exercises of stock options over the stock-based compensation cost recognized for those options) are classified as financing cash flows. We did not recorded excess tax benefits as financing cash inflows during the period ended March 31, 2007 because of the full valuation allowance established against our deferred tax assets.

7. Subsequent Events: |
On April 16, 2007 we issued 30,000 shares of our common stock to Philip Snowden upon the exercise of a like number of warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share.
During April, 2007, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreement with five (5) investors. The securities sold were secured convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,000,000 due April 15, 2008 (the Debentures). The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are convertible into the Companys common stock at any time at the rate of $0.31 per share. As part of this transaction, the Company issued to the investors three (3) common stock purchase warrants for each dollar invested, or an aggregate of 3,000,000 warrants (the Warrants). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue up to an additional $500,000 in Debentures and issue up to an additional 1,500,000 warrants on the same terms discussed herein.
12
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The Warrants contain provisions that protect the holder against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price of certain events including, but not limited to, stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications or mergers.
In addition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each investor whereby the Company agreed to include the common stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants in any future registration statement filed by the Company subject to certain conditions contained in such agreement.
The Debentures are secured by all network equipment, including, without limitation, (i) all access point serves, and supporting infrastructure equipment, (ii) all agreements regarding the network pertaining to the placement and use/operation of the network, and (iii) any proceeds from the sale of network equipment and inventory.
In connection with this transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 300,000 Warrants to Quest Capital Alliance I, L.L.C.(150,000) and Quest Capital Alliance II, L.L.C. (150,000) as a finders fee.

and Results of Operations |
Background
We are an application service provider specializing in wireless Internet connectivity and productivity applications tailored to the trucking transportation industry. We are guided by our mission to provide products and services that allow truck drivers and trucking fleets to increase productivity and reduce costs, while improving safety, security and quality of life. To achieve that goal, we have deployed a nationwide network of SiriCOMM Wi-Fi hot spots at locations along major highways in the continental United States. Our proprietary network, the foundation for our applications, delivers wireless Internet connectivity, providing both Internet access and a robust application host platform. We believe our network delivers a more responsive and convenient way for all industry stakeholders to interact with information needed on a regular basis.
We believe our network is the most widely available wireless Internet access network built for the highway transportation market. To date we have installed over 480 SiriCOMM hot spots at major truck stops in 44 states.
Our network technology is built upon a distributed server model that uses satellite for data backhaul. Each network hot spot is installed at locations near Interstate and secondary highway systems and is configured to provide adequate coverage over the entire location partners property. Every SiriCOMM hot spot consists of industry standard IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and proprietary radio frequency technologies, and a dedicated proxy server (RS) that is connected by satellite to our central server (Hub) and Operational Support System (OSS) (collectively, the Network).
We believe this architecture provides key competitive advantages:
1) The network is truly go-anywhere and operates independently of any terrestrial-based communication infrastructure;
2) The satellite multicast features allows data to be simultaneously available at all SiriCOMM Wi-Fi hot spots;
3) Bandwidth management is handled from a single location as opposed to multiple points that would be required by a nationwide terrestrial network;
4) The remote server makes each hot spot an extension of fleet operations;
5) Proprietary technologies mitigate inherent weaknesses found in conventional satellite networks. The complete Network provides subscribers with wireless access to the Internet and a robust host platform for application services.
We market our products and services principally through direct Internet sales, a direct sales force and value-added resellers. As the trucking industry is highly fragmented and comprises many small to medium-sized fleets, we use numerous resellers to maximize our sales reach. Our direct sales force is focused on the large fleets as well as coordinating the efforts of our value-added resellers. We continue to concentrate our sales efforts on InTouch, our Internet access service. With the launch of our Pulse-ST device, our direct sales staff will transition fleet sales efforts to leverage the capabilities of this vehicle telematics service to reduce cost and improve productivity.
14
We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation under the name DFW Technologies, Inc., in March 1989. In 1992, DFW Technologies, Inc. changed their name to Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In approximately November 2002, the shareholders of SiriCOMM, Inc., a privately-held Missouri corporation, incorporated in 2000 (SiriCOMM Missouri), exchanged all of the issued and outstanding common stock of SiriCOMM Missouri for a controlling interest in Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Reverse Transaction). As part of the Reverse Transaction, all of the then officers and directors of Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc. resigned and were replaced by persons designated by SiriCOMM Missouri and the name of Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was changed to SiriCOMM, Inc. As a result of the Reverse Transaction, SiriCOMM Missouri became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the prior shareholders of SiriCOMM Missouri became the controlling shareholders, officers and directors of the Company.
Our corporate address is 4710 East 32nd Street, Joplin, Missouri 64804, our telephone number is 417-626-9971, and our fax number is 417-782-0475.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Fair Value of Equity Instruments
The valuation of certain items, including valuation of warrants or restricted stock that may be offered as compensation for goods or services received, involve significant estimations with underlying assumptions which are judgmentally determined. Warrants are valued using the most reliable measure of fair value, such as the value of the goods or services rendered, if obtainable. If such value is not readily obtainable, the valuation of warrants and stock options are then based upon a Black Scholes valuation model, which involves estimates of stock volatility, expected life of the instruments and other assumptions. As our stock is thinly traded, the amounts recorded for equity instruments, which are based partly on historical pricing of our stock, are subject to the assumptions used by management in determining the fair value.
15
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset may not be recoverable, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is recognized by measuring the difference between the carrying value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the assets. Our estimates of fair values are based on the best information available and require the use of estimates, judgments and projections as considered necessary. The actual results may vary.
In the second quarter of 2007, we recorded an impairment loss in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We determined that costs that had been capitalized as part of our Beacon product line would not be recoverable due to the phase-out by the manufacturer of the device for which the applications were written. Since we do not anticipate realizing any revenue from the Beacon application as it is currently developed, we have reduced the carrying value to zero and recorded an impairment loss of $49,900.
Information Relating To Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this Report on Form 10-QSB, the words may, will, expect, anticipate, continue, estimate, intend, plans and similar expressions are intended to identify 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 regarding events, conditions and financial trends which may affect our future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results and financial position. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors include, among others: (i) our ability to obtain additional sources of capital to fund continuing operations in the event it is unable to timely generate revenues; (ii) our ability to retain existing or obtain additional licensees who will act as distributors of its products; and (iii) other economic, competitive and governmental factors affecting our operations, market, products and services. Additional factors are described in our other public reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenues
Our revenues were primarily derived from sales of InTouch and related services, which increased from $201,743 in 2006 to $569,043 in the current period. The increase in revenues is largely a result of the continued expansion of our network and word of mouth advertising which has resulted in the increase in the number of people subscribing to our service. We have conducted limited advertising to date and even though we anticipate increasing our advertising for InTouch, no assurances can be offered that we will generate meaningful revenues in the future.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we began shipping units of our Pulse-ST device. The units were delivered as part of 1,000 unit order from Idling Solutions. Total revenues from sales of the Pulse-ST device for the period were $26,136.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $23,760. This amount represents the cost of the Pulse-ST devices sold during the second quarter. We began initial delivery of the Pulse-ST units during the current quarter and therefore did not have any associated costs in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative costs, salaries, satellite access fees and depreciation and amortization, including the amortization of long-term prepaid assets. In 2007, our operating expenses also included an impairment loss of $49,900.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, net operating losses totaled $1,485,578 as compared to net operating losses of $960,873 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our General and Administrative expenses consist of corporate overhead costs, administrative support and professional fees.
For the three months ending March 31, 2007, general and administrative expenses totaled $ 637,053, or 31.4% of total operating expenses, while for the three months ended March 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses totaled $364,781 or 31.4% of total operating expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased over 2006 primarily as a result of vesting of deferred compensation related to a consulting agreement, engaging investor relations firms, increased network maintenance costs and increased credit card transaction fees resulting from increased InTouch sales.
17
Salaries
For the three months ending March 31, 2007, we incurred salaries of $572,469, representing 28.2% of the operating expenses, as compared to $352,275, representing 30.3% of total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is a result of executive personnel as well as customer service personnel to support our InTouch customers.
Satellite Access Fees
Satellite access fees for the three months ending March 31, 2007 were $462,492 or 22.8% of total operating expenses as compared to $173,956, which was 15.0% of total operating expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2006. This increase in satellite access fees is the direct result of an increase in the number of hot spots on our network and an increase in the amount of bandwidth available for our InTouch customers.
Impairment Loss
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If an indication exists that assets may have suffered an impairment loss, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the loss (if any). Determination of recoverability and measurement of an impairment loss for assets management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset.
During the second quarter, we determined that costs that had been capitalized as part of our Beacon product line would not be recoverable due to the phase-out by the manufacturer of the device for which the applications were written. Since we do not anticipate realizing any revenue from the Beacon application as it is currently developed, we have reduced the carrying value to zero and recorded an impairment loss of $49,900. There were no impairment losses in the comparable period of the prior year.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $308,947 or 15.2% of operating expenses for the three month period ending March 31, 2007 and $271,604 or 23.4% for the same period ending March 31, 2006. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $163,352 over the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the expansion and installation of network equipment and the placing in service of the Pulse-ST application. This increase is partially offset by the reduction in non-cash amortization of $126,009. In the period ending March 31, 2006 we were amortizing an intangible asset related to prepaid bandwidth. This intangible asset was deemed to be impaired at September 30, 2006 and was written off at that point. As a result, there is no amortization associated with this asset during fiscal year 2007.
18
Interest Expense
For the three months ending March 31, 2007, interest expense was $13,473 as compared to interest expense of $431,800 during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The higher interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was primarily a result of the valuation of warrants and a beneficial conversion option given to Sunflower Capital as an inducement for a bridge loan given to us in advance of our closing on an equity underwriting.
Gain on Forgiveness of Debt
For the three months ending March 31, 2007, we reported a gain on forgiveness of debt of $14,972. This was a result of cancellation and forgiveness of certain accounts payable. We did not have this income in the three months ending March 31, 2006.
For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
Revenues
Our revenues were primarily derived from sales of InTouch and related services, which increased from $355,696 in 2006 to $1,070,834, in 2007. The increase in revenues is largely a result of the continued expansion of our network and word of mouth advertising which has resulted in the increase in the number of people subscribing to our service. We have conducted limited advertising to date and even though we anticipate increasing our advertising for InTouch, no assurances can be offered that we will generate meaningful revenues in the future.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we began shipping units of our Pulse-ST device. The units were delivered as part of 1,000 unit order from Idling Solutions. Total revenues from sales of the Pulse-ST device for the period were $26,136.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $23,760. This amount represents the cost of the Pulse-ST devices sold during the second quarter. We began initial delivery of the Pulse-ST units during the current quarter and therefore did not have any associated costs in the six months ended March 31, 2006.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative costs, salaries, satellite access fees and depreciation and amortization, including the amortization of long-term prepaid assets. In 2007, our operating expenses also included an impairment loss of $49,900.
During the six months ended March 31, 2007, net operating losses totaled $2,941,195 as compared to net operating losses of $1,831,272 for the six months ended March 31, 2006.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our General and Administrative expenses consist of corporate overhead costs, administrative support and professional fees.
19
For the six months ending March 31, 2007, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,305,804, or 32.7% of total operating expenses, while for the six months ended March 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses totaled $690,881 or 31.6% of total operating expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased over 2006 primarily as a result of vesting of deferred compensation related to a consulting agreement, engaging investor relations firms, increased network maintenance costs and increased credit card transaction fees resulting from increased InTouch sales.
Salaries
For the six months ending March 31, 2007, we incurred salaries of $1,156,242, representing 29.0% of the operating expenses, as compared to $669,971, representing 30.6% of total operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is a result of additional executive personnel as well as customer service personnel to support our InTouch customers.
Satellite Access Fees
Satellite access fees for the six months ending March 31, 2007 were $913,696 or 22.9% of total operating expenses as compared to $301,212, which was 13.8% of total operating expenses for the six months ending March 31, 2006. This increase in satellite access fees is the direct result of an increase in the number of hot spots on our network and an increase in the amount of bandwidth made available to our InTouch customers.
Impairment Loss
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If an indication exists that assets may have suffered an impairment loss, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the loss (if any). Determination of recoverability and measurement of an impairment loss for assets management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset.
During the second quarter of 2007, we determined that costs that had been capitalized as part of our Beacon product line would not be recoverable due to the phase-out by the manufacturer of the device for which the applications were written. Since we do not anticipate realizing any revenue from the Beacon application as it is currently developed, we have reduced the carrying value to zero and recorded an impairment loss of $49,900. There were no impairment losses in the comparable period of the prior year.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $562,627 or 14.1% of operating expenses for the six month period ending March 31, 2007 and $524,904 or 24.0% for the same period ending March 31, 2006. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $289,741 over the same period in 2006, primarily due to the expansion and installation of network equipment and the placing in service of the Pulse-ST application. This increase is partially offset by the reduction in non-cash amortization of $252,018. In the period ending March 31, 2006 we were amortizing an intangible asset related to prepaid bandwidth. This intangible asset was deemed to be impaired at September 30, 2006 and was written off at that point. As a result, there is no amortization associated with this asset during fiscal year 2007.
20
Interest Expense
For the six months ending March 31, 2007, interest expense was $13,622 as compared to interest expense of $442,277 during the six months ended March 31, 2006. The higher interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was primarily a result of the valuation of warrants and a beneficial conversion option given to Sunflower Capital as an inducement for a bridge loan given to us in advance of our closing on an equity underwriting.
Gain on Forgiveness of Debt
For the six months ending March 31, 2007, we reported a gain on forgiveness of debt of $14,972. This was a result of cancellation and forgiveness of certain accounts payable. We did not have this income in the six months ending March 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continue to finance our operations almost entirely from invested and borrowed funds. We have incurred operating losses since our inception and we anticipate losses for the foreseeable future. No assurances can be given that revenues will increase sufficiently to cover operating expenses or that we can continue to attract capital under terms favorable to our shareholders.
As of March 31, 2007, our current assets including cash, accounts receivables, other current assets amounted to $360,179. Current liabilities amounted to $2,366,674 and include accounts payable, accrued salaries, customer deposits and other accrued expenses. We currently have a deposit on Pulse-ST equipment which is offset by the customer deposit liability.
As an emerging wireless applications services provider, we are involved in a number of business development projects, continued network installation and general operating capital requirements that will continue to require external capital to finance us as we introduce the applications within our business model. No assurances can be given as to the industrys willingness to purchase our products or services.
As of March 31, 2007, we lack sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund operations for the next twelve months. We have obtained debt financing, disclosed below, and we are pursuing financing and additional equity investment, however, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise the financing necessary to continue as a going concern. Although not currently planned, realization of assets in other than the ordinary course of business in order to meet liquidity needs could incur losses not reflected in these financial statements.
On December 20, 2003 we issued an aggregate of 213,417 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to two investors upon conversion of debt in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 plus accrued interest of $13,417. The Series A Preferred Stock provides the holders the right to force the Company to redeem these shares together with all accrued and unpaid dividends at a redemption price equal to 110% of the stated value ($1.00) at any time commencing three years from issuance (December 10, 2006). In the event the holders elect to force redemption, the Company would be required to pay the holders approximately $300,000. It is unlikely that the Company would be able to make this payment in such event or have funds legally available therefore.
On March 15, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (Loan Agreement) with Sunflower Capital, LLC, a limited liability company managed by a Director of the Company. The loan is in the principal amount of up to $500,000 of which $300,000 has been funded to date and is evidenced by a 10% Convertible Promissory Note due February 29, 2008 (the Note). As consideration for Sunflower making the loan, the Company amended an aggregate of 4,537,661 warrants previously issued to Sunflower and its affiliates to extend the expiration date of all those warrants to March 31, 2012 and eliminate all
21
redemption rights contained in those warrants. The loan is secured by all of the Companys assets. However, Sunflower has subordinated its security interest in the Companys network to the security interest of Quest Capital Alliance, L.L.C., described below.
As additional consideration for making the loan commitment, the Company shall issue Sunflower a 5-year warrant on the earlier of the date of conversion or maturity date. The number of warrants to be issued will be equal to $500,000 divided by Conversion Price (which, if not earlier determined, shall be determined as of the Maturity Date). This warrant will be issued regardless of whether Sunflower elects to convert the Note. The exercise price of these warrants shall be equal to the conversion price of the Note.
The Note converts at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a variable conversion price determined by taking the lowest volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock for any five consecutive trading days during the period from the date of issuance to the date of the conversion notice.
During April, 2007, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreement with five (5) investors. The securities sold were secured convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,000,000 due April 15, 2008 (the Debentures). The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are convertible into the Companys common stock at any time at the rate of $0.31 per share. As part of this transaction, the Company issued to the investors three (3) common stock purchase warrants for each dollar invested, or an aggregate of 3,000,000 warrants (the Warrants). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue up to an additional $500,000 in Debentures and issue up to an additional 1,500,000 warrants on the same terms discussed herein.
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The Warrants contain provisions that protect the holder against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price of certain events including, but not limited to, stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications or mergers.
In addition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each investor whereby the Company agreed to include the common stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants in any future registration statement filed by the Company subject to certain conditions contained in such agreement.
The Debentures are secured by all network equipment, including, without limitation, (i) all access point serves, and supporting infrastructure equipment, (ii) all agreements regarding the network pertaining to the placement and use/operation of the network, and (iii) any proceeds from the sale of network equipment and inventory.
In connection with this transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 300,000 Warrants to Quest Capital Alliance I, L.L.C.(150,000) and Quest Capital Alliance II, L.L.C. (150,000) as a finders fee.
We can only continue in business for the next twelve months if sufficient capital is raised. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise the necessary capital to continue operations, and if we do raise such capital, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to operate profitably.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. The approach to accounting for share-based payments in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative to financial statement recognition. We adopted Statement 123R during the first quarter of its year ending September 30, 2007.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of SiriCOMMs disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Management has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were still not effective as of March 31, 2007 as follows:

we did not have a systematic and documented program of internal controls and procedures concerning accounting and financial reporting to ensure that unusual or complex transactions are recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in our financial disclosures; and |
|
|
there is a need for additional training of our accounting staff. |
|
|
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have the ability to perform EDI transactions, approve and sign checks with little or no oversight from other members of management. |
|
|
There is not adequate segregation of duties within the Accounting Department, which can perform most functions within the revenue, receivables, fixed assets, payables, purchasing and payroll cycles. |
A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Companys ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. As of March 31, 2007, we have determined that significant deficiencies over financial reporting may exist.
Managements Response to Significant Deficiencies
In response to the significant deficiencies described above, we have undertaken the following initiatives with respect to our internal controls and procedures that we believe are reasonably likely to improve and materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We anticipate that remediation will be continuing throughout fiscal 2008, during which we expect to continue pursuing appropriate corrective actions, including the following:
|
|
Preparing appropriate written documentation of our financial control procedures. We intend to complete written documentation of its financial control procedures during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008; |
|
|
Scheduling training for accounting staff to heighten awareness of generally accepted accounting principles applicable to complex transactions |
|
|
Strengthening our internal review procedures in conjunction with our ongoing work to enhance our internal controls so as to enable us to identify and adjust items proactively. |
We cannot assure you that we will not in the future identify further significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, however, our management and Audit Committee will monitor closely the implementation of our remediation plan. The effectiveness of the steps we intend to implement is subject to continued management review, as well as Audit Committee oversight, and we may make additional enhancements or changes in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As a result of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules issued thereunder, we will be required to include in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ending September 30, 2008 a report on managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In that regard, management did not prepare a report in conformity with paragraph (a) of Item 308 which would have contained the following:
|
|
a statement of managements responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting; |
|
|
a statement identifying the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; |
|
|
managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether or not it is effective; and |
|
|
a statement that our external auditor has issued an attestation report on managements assessment. |
We were also not required to obtain and have not obtained an independent auditors report with respect to this voluntary assessment. In an effort to bolster existing controls and prepare for the required management assessment of internal controls over financial reporting which will be required to be included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ending September 30, 2008, we, to the extent that capital resources allow, will be modifying and enhancing our internal controls utilizing the Internal Control Integrated Framework guidance issued by COSO (the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission). There are no assurances that we will have the necessary capital available to properly complete this task.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
On January 21, 2007, we issued 28,315 shares of our common stock to the partners of Sommer & Schneider LLP in consideration of legal services previously rendered to us and for the February 2007 monthly retainer. Sommer & Schneider credited us $19,537.50 which included past due legal fees in the amount of $13,537.50 and credit for the February 2007 retainer in the amount of $6,000. The shares were issued under our 2002 Equity Incentive Plan.
On January 25, 2007 and February 13, 2007, respectively we issued 25,000 shares of our common stock to Interactive Resources Group (IRG) pursuant to a consulting agreement between us and IRG.
On March 15, 2007, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (Loan Agreement) with Sunflower Capital, LLC, a limited liability company managed by a Director of the Company. The loan is in the principal amount of up to $500,000 of which $300,000 has been funded to date and is evidenced by a 10% Convertible Promissory Note due February 29, 2008 (the Note). As consideration for Sunflower making the loan, the Company amended an aggregate of 4,537,661 warrants previously issued to Sunflower and its affiliates to extend the expiration date of all those warrants to March 31, 2012 and eliminate all redemption rights contained in those warrants. The loan is secured by all of the Companys assets. However, Sunflower has subordinated its security interest in the Companys network to the security interest of Quest Capital Alliance, L.L.C., described below.
As additional consideration for making the loan commitment, the Company shall issue Sunflower a 5-year warrant on the earlier of the date of conversion or maturity date. The number of warrants to be issued will be equal to $500,000 divided by Conversion Price (which, if not earlier determined, shall be determined as of the Maturity Date). This warrant will be issued regardless of whether Sunflower elects to convert the Note. The exercise price of these warrants shall be equal to the conversion price of the Note.
The Note converts at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Companys common stock at a variable conversion price determined by taking the lowest volume weighted average price of the Companys common stock for any five consecutive trading days during the period from the date of issuance to the date of the conversion notice.
On April 16, 2007 we issued 30,000 shares of our common stock to Philip Snowden upon the exercise of a like number of warrants exercisable at $0.50 per share.
During April, 2007, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreement with five (5) investors. The securities sold were secured convertible debentures in the principal amount of $1,000,000 due April 15, 2008 (the Debentures). The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are convertible into the Companys common stock at any time at the rate of $0.31 per share. As part of this transaction, the Company issued to the investors three (3)
26
common stock purchase warrants for each dollar invested, or an aggregate of 3,000,000 warrants (the Warrants). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue up to an additional $500,000 in Debentures and issue up to an additional 1,500,000 warrants on the same terms discussed herein.
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.31 per share commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The Warrants contain provisions that protect the holder against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price of certain events including, but not limited to, stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications or mergers.
In addition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with each investor whereby the Company agreed to include the common stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants in any future registration statement filed by the Company subject to certain conditions contained in such agreement.
The Debentures are secured by all network equipment, including, without limitation, (i) all access point serves, and supporting infrastructure equipment, (ii) all agreements regarding the network pertaining to the placement and use/operation of the network, and (iii) any proceeds from the sale of network equipment and inventory.
In connection with this transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 300,000 Warrants to Quest Capital Alliance I, L.L.C.(150,000) and Quest Capital Alliance II, L.L.C. (150,000) as a finders fee.
The proceeds from these financings will be used by the Company as general working capital.
