CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION 

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the information incorporated by reference may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In particular, we direct your attention to Item 1. Business, Item 1A. Risk Factors, Item 2. Properties, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “believe,” “plan,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and other phrases of similar meaning. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. 

 

Although we believe that our expectations that are expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that our expectations will prove to be correct. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations, including the following: 

 

•   We may lose customers or fail to grow our customer base; 

•   We may not successfully integrate new customers or assets obtained through acquisitions, if any; 

•   We may fail to compete with existing and new competitors; 

•   We may not adequately respond to technological developments impacting the Internet; 

•   We may not be successful in responding to new and modified industry standards, laws and regulations applying to our business; 

•   We may be significantly affected by adverse changes in the economy; 

•   We may experience a major system failure; and 

•   We may not be able to obtain needed capital resources. 

 

This list is intended to identify some of the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this report. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed cautionary statements included in this Report under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and our press releases. 


 


 


 

PART I 

 

Item 1. Business 

 

General 

 

We are an integrated communications provider. Through our subsidiaries, we provide high quality, reliable and scalable Internet access, web hosting, equipment colocation, customized live help desk outsourcing services, group text and voice message delivery services, as well as advanced voice and data solutions. 

 

References to us in this Report include our subsidiaries: FullNet, Inc. (“FullNet”), FullTel, Inc. (“FullTel”), FullWeb, Inc. (“FullWeb”), and CallMultiplier, Inc. (“CallMultiplier”). Our principal executive offices are located at 201 Robert S. Kerr Avenue, Suite 210, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, and our telephone number is (405) 236-8200. We also maintain Internet sites on the World Wide Web (“WWW”) at www.fullnet.net, www.fulltel.com and www.callmultiplier.com. Information contained on our Websites is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this Report. 

 

Company History 

 

We were founded in 1995 as CEN-COM of Oklahoma, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, to bring dial-up Internet access and education to rural locations in Oklahoma that did not have dial-up Internet access. We changed our name to FullNet Communications, Inc. in December 1995. Today we are an integrated communications provider. 

 

We market our carrier neutral colocation solutions in our network operations center to other competitive local exchange carriers, Internet service providers and web-hosting companies. Our colocation facility is carrier neutral, allowing customers to choose among competitive offerings rather than being restricted to one carrier. Our data center is Telco-grade and provides customers a high level of operative reliability and security. We offer flexible space arrangements for customers and 24-hour onsite support with both battery and generator backup. 

 

Through FullTel, our wholly owned subsidiary, we were a fully licensed competitive local exchange carrier or CLEC in Oklahoma. However, in response to the changes in the telecommunications market and deterioration in our ability to effectively compete, we made the decision in the fourth quarter of 2017, to affect an orderly exit from the CLEC business. We were in negotiations with a potential buyer at December 31, 2017, which buyer subsequently purchased substantially all of FullTel’s operating assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, which was executed and closed on February 1, 2018. 

 

Through CallMultiplier, our wholly owned subsidiary, we offer a comprehensive cloud-based solution to consumers and businesses for automated group texting and voice message delivery. 

 

Our common stock trades on the OTC “Pink Sheets” under the symbol FULO. While our common stock trades on the OTC “Pink Sheets”, it is very thinly traded, and there can be no assurance that our shareholders will be able to sell their shares should they so desire. Any market for the common stock that may develop, in all likelihood, will be a limited one, and if such a market does develop, the market price may be volatile. 

 

Mergers and Acquisitions 

 

Our acquisition strategy is designed to leverage our existing network backbone and internal operations to enable us to enter new markets in Oklahoma, as well as to expand our presence in existing markets, and to benefit from economies of scale. 

 


 


 


Our Business Strategy 

 

As an integrated communications provider, we intend to increase shareholder value by continuing to build scale through both acquisitions and internal growth and then leveraging increased revenues over our fixed-costs base. Our strategy is to meet the customer service requirements of retail, business, educational and government advanced voice and data solutions users in our target markets, while benefiting from the scale advantages obtained through being a fully integrated backbone and broadband provider. The key elements of our overall strategy with respect to our principal business operations are described below. 

 

Target Strategic Acquisitions 

 

The goal of our acquisition strategy is to accelerate market penetration by acquiring smaller competitors in the advanced voice and data solutions market. Additionally, we will continue to build upon our core competencies and expand our technical, customer service staff and Internet based marketing efforts. We evaluate acquisition candidates based on their compatibility with our overall business plan. When assessing an acquisition candidate, we focus on the following criteria: 

 

Potential revenue and customer growth;  

Low customer turnover or churn rates;  

Favorable competitive environment; and  

Favorable consolidation savings.  

 

Generate Internal Sales Growth 

 

We intend to expand our customer base by increasing our marketing efforts. At December 31, 2019, our sales efforts are carried out by technical engineers and our senior management. We are exploring other strategies to increase our sales, including other marketing partners and Internet based advertising programs. 

 

Internet Access Services 

 

We provide Internet access services to individual and small business customers located in Oklahoma on both a retail and wholesale basis. Through FullNet, we provide our customers with a variety of dial-up and dedicated connectivity, as well as direct access to a wide range of Internet applications and resources, including electronic mail. 

 

Our branded and private label Internet access services are provided through a third-party vendor’s statewide network with points-of-presence in 232 communities throughout Oklahoma. Points-of-presence are local telephone numbers through which customers can access the Internet. We had approximately 72 and 74 customers at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

 

Advanced Voice and Data Solutions 

 

Our primary advanced voice and data solution is marketed under our CallMultiplier brand name. CallMultiplier is a comprehensive cloud-based solution to consumers and businesses for automated calling, texting and voice message delivery. CallMultiplier streamlines and automates call tree management to provide efficient delivery of time sensitive voice and text messages to groups. Our customers include sports teams, businesses, religious groups, schools, staffing companies, clubs and civic groups throughout the United States and Canada. 

 

Sales and Marketing 

 

We focus on marketing our services to two distinct market segments: enterprises (primarily small and medium size businesses) and consumers. We are currently focus the majority of our efforts on Internet based advertising and marketing. 

 


 


 


Competition 

 

The market for Internet connectivity and related services is extremely competitive. We anticipate that competition will continue to intensify as the use of the Internet continues to expand and grow. The tremendous growth and potential market size of the Internet access market has attracted many new start-ups as well as existing businesses from a variety of industries. We believe a reliable network, knowledgeable salespeople and the quality of technical support currently are the primary competitive factors in our targeted market and that price is usually secondary to these factors. 

 

Our current and prospective competitors include, in addition to other national, regional and local Internet service providers, long distance and local exchange telecommunications companies, cable television, direct broadcast satellite, wireless communication providers and online service providers. While we believe that our network, products and customer service distinguish us from these competitors, most of these competitors have significantly greater market presence, brand recognition, financial, technical and personnel resources than us. 

 

Internet Service Providers 

 

Our current primary competitors include other Internet service providers with a significant national presence that focuses on business customers, including Cox Communications and AT&T. These competitors have greater market share, brand recognition, financial, technical and personnel resources than us. We also compete with regional and local Internet service providers in our targeted markets. 

 

Telecommunications Carriers 

 

The major long-distance companies, also known as inter-exchange carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint, offer Internet access services and compete with us. Reforms in the Federal regulation of the telecommunications industry have created greater opportunities for ILECs, including the Regional Bell Operating Companies or RBOCs, and other competitive local exchange carriers, to enter the Internet connectivity market. In order to address the Internet connectivity requirements of the business customers of long distance and local carriers, we believe that there is a move toward horizontal integration by ILECs and CLECs through acquisitions or joint ventures with, and the wholesale purchase of, connectivity from Internet service providers. The MCI/WorldCom merger (and the prior WorldCom/MFS/UUNet consolidation), GTE’s acquisition of BBN, the acquisition by ICG Communications, Inc. of Netcom, Global Crossing’s acquisition of Frontier Corp. (and Frontier’s prior acquisition of Global Center) and AT&T’s purchase of IBM’s global communications network are indicative of this trend. Accordingly, we expect that we will experience increased competition from the traditional telecommunications carriers. These telecommunication carriers, in addition to their greater network coverage, market presence, financial, technical and personnel resources also have large existing commercial customer bases. 

 

Cable Companies, Direct Broadcast Satellite and Wireless Communications Companies 

 

Many of the major cable companies are offering Internet connectivity, relying on the viability of cable modems and economical upgrades to their networks, including Media One and Time Warner Cablevision, Inc., Cox Communications, Comcast, EarthLink and Tele-Communications, Inc. (“TCI”). We compete to a lesser extent with these service providers, which currently are primarily focused on the consumer marketplace and offer their own content, including chat rooms, news updates, searchable reference databases, special interest groups and shopping. 

 

Automated Group Text and Voice Message Delivery Service Providers 

 

The market for group text and voice message delivery service solutions is highly fragmented, intensely competitive and constantly evolving. We compete with a wide array of established and emerging companies. Notable competitors include Twilio, Inc., Everbridge, Inc., Onsolve, LLC, Call-Em-All, LLC, CallFire, Inc., OnTimeTelecom, Inc., and EZ Texting. 

 

We believe that our ability to attract customers and to market value-added services is a key to our future success and profitability. However, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not introduce


 


 


comparable services or products at similar or more attractive prices in the future or that we will not be required to reduce our prices to match competition. We want to emphasize that most if not all of our competitors have significantly greater market presence, brand recognition, financial, technical and personnel resources than us. 

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to offset the effects of any such competition or resulting price reductions. Increased competition could result in erosion of our market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

 

Employees 

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had 15 employees employed in engineering, sales, marketing, customer support and related activities and general and administrative functions. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. We also engage consultants from time to time with respect to various aspects of our business. 

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors. 

 

This Report includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.  On August 27, 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from financial statement issuance and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. 

 

The Company has historically experienced significant operating losses with cumulative losses from inception of approximately $10 million. These losses have resulted in a negative working capital position of approximately $455,000 at December 31, 2019, of which approximately $314,000 of the Company’s current liabilities is owed to its officers and directors, and approximately $509,000 of the Company’s current liabilities is deferred revenue. The Company’s officers and directors, who are also major shareholders, have agreed to not seek payment of any of the amounts owed to them if such payment would jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The deferred revenue represents advance payments for services from the Company’s customers which will be satisfied by its delivery of services in the normal course of business and will not require settlement in cash. 

 

The Company started a number of initiatives in 2017 which included revenue enhancement initiatives, cost saving initiatives, the sale of excess assets and an orderly exit from the CLEC business. The Company was successful with its revenue enhancement and cost saving initiatives and in selling certain excess assets in the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, as well as effecting an orderly exit from the CLEC business through the sale of substantially all of its wholly owned subsidiary’s CLEC operating assets (see Note I – Discontinued Operations). 

 

As a result of these initiatives, the Company generated positive cash flow from its operating activities of approximately $427,000 and $187,000, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, the Company was able to generate net income of approximately $317,000 and $267,000, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

 

Management expects that the success of these initiatives will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for it to operate for the next 12 months. 

 

As a result of the revenue enhancement initiatives, the cost saving initiatives, the excess asset sales and the successful exit from the CLEC business, the Company has been able to significantly improve its working capital position and alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as defined by ASU 2014-15. We believe that the actions discussed above mitigate the substantial doubt raised by our prior operating losses and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate additional liquidity, including the availability of additional debt financing, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our ability to effectively execute our business plan. 

 


 


 


Limited Marketing Experience. 

 

We have limited experience in developing and commercializing new services based on innovative technologies, and there is limited information available concerning the potential performance of our hardware or market acceptance of our proposed services. There can be no assurance that unanticipated expenses, problems or technical difficulties will not occur which would result in material delays in product commercialization or that our efforts will result in successful product commercialization. Consequently, our limited marketing experience could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation. 

 

Uncertainty of Products/Services Development. 

 

Although considerable time and financial resources were expended in the development of our services and products, there can be absolutely no assurance that problems will not develop which would have a material adverse effect on us. We will be required to commit considerable time, effort and resources to finalize our product/service development and adapt our products and services to satisfy specific requirements of potential customers. Continued system refinement, enhancement and development efforts are subject to all of the risks inherent in the development of new products/services and technologies, including unanticipated delays, expenses, technical problems or difficulties, as well as the possible insufficiency of funds to satisfactorily complete development, which could result in abandonment or substantial change in commercialization. There can be no assurance that development efforts will be successfully completed on a timely basis, or at all, that we will be able to successfully adapt our hardware or software to satisfy specific requirements of potential customers, or that unanticipated events will not occur which would result in increased costs or material delays in development or commercialization. In addition, the complex technologies planned to be incorporated into our products and services may contain errors that become apparent subsequent to commencement of commercial use. Remedying these errors could delay our plans and cause us to incur substantial additional costs. Consequently, the uncertainty of our products/services development could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation. 

 

Competition; Technological Obsolescence. 

 

The markets for our products and services are characterized by intense competition and an increasing number of potential new market entrants who have developed or are developing potentially competitive products and services. We will face competition from numerous sources, certain of which may have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, personnel and other resources than us, permitting such companies to implement extensive marketing campaigns, both generally and in response to efforts by additional competitors to enter into new markets and market new products and services. In addition, our product and service markets are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards that could result in product obsolescence and short product life cycles. Accordingly, our ability to compete will be dependent upon our ability to complete the development of our products and to introduce our products and/or services into the marketplace in a timely manner, to continually enhance and improve our software and to successfully develop and market new products. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully, that competitors will not develop technologies or products that render our products and/or services obsolete or less marketable or that we will be able to successfully enhance our products or develop new products and/or services. Consequently, our failure to successfully respond to the demands of competition and technological obsolescence could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation. 

 

Risks Relating to the Internet. 

 

Businesses reliant on the Internet may be at risk due to inadequate development of the necessary infrastructure, including reliable network backbones or complementary services, high-speed modems and security procedures. The Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users and amount of traffic. There can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure will continue to be able to support the demands placed on it by sustained growth. In addition, there may be delays in the development and adoption of new standards and protocols, the inability to handle increased levels of Internet activity or due to increased government regulation. If the necessary Internet infrastructure or complementary services are not developed to effectively support growth that may occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. 

 


 


 


Risks Relating to Adverse Changes in the Economy. 

 

Our business may be affected by adverse changes in the economy generally, including any resulting effect on spending by our customers. While some of our customers may consider our services to be a cost-effective alternative, others may turn to our competitors during an economic downturn. During an economic downturn, we may experience such a reduction in demand and loss of customers, especially in the event of a prolonged recessionary period. 

 

Risks Relating to COVID-19. 

 

The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which the World Health Organization has characterized as a “pandemic”, has resulted in a crisis affecting economies and financial markets worldwide. The pandemic, and its attendant economic damage, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The ultimate extent of its impact on us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and actions taken to contain or prevent its further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of COVID-19 could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

 

Risks Relating to Government Regulation. 

 

Our business is subject to a number of Federal and state laws and regulations. These laws and regulations may involve privacy, data protection, intellectual property, competition, consumer protection, or other subjects. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations often are uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving automated group text and voice message delivery industry in which we operate. Future legislative or regulatory actions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. 

 

For example, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, or TCPA, restricts telemarketing and the use of automated text and/or voice messages without proper consent and limits the use of automatic dialing systems, artificial or prerecorded voice messages, SMS text messages and fax machines. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to the automated delivery of voice and text messages are continuously evolving and developing. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations due to the failure of our customers to comply with these laws by obtaining proper consent, we could face direct liability. 

 

We face a risk of litigation resulting from customer misuse of our automated group text and voice message delivery service, in violation of our published terms of service, to send unauthorized automated text and/or voice messages in violation of Federal and state laws and/or regulations. The actual or perceived improper sending of automated text and/or voice messages may subject us to potential risks, including liabilities or claims relating to consumer protection laws. This has resulted in civil claims against some of our former customers and requests for information through third-party subpoenas. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to the delivery of automated text and voice messages are continuously evolving and developing. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations due to the failure of our customers to comply with these laws by obtaining proper consent, we could face direct liability. 

 

In addition, Congress and the Federal Communications Commission are attempting to mitigate the scourge of robocalls by requiring participation in new technical standards including the Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs ("SHAKEN") and Secure Telephone Identity Revisited ("STIR") standards (together, "SHAKEN/STIR") and other robocalling prevention and anti-spam standards. If we do not comply with any current or future rules or regulations that apply to our business, we could be subject to substantial fines and penalties, and we may have to restructure our offerings, exit certain markets or raise the price of our products. In addition, any uncertainty regarding whether particular regulations apply to our business, and how they apply, could increase our costs or limit our ability to grow. 

 

Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions or other collateral consequences. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely

affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could harm our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. 

 

Risks Relating to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, and changing regulations. 

 

The market for automated group text and voice message delivery services is subject to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, as well as changing customer needs, requirements and preferences. Our success will depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to adapt and respond effectively to these changes on a timely basis. If we are unable to develop new products that satisfy our customers and provide enhancements and new features for our existing products that keep pace with rapid technological and industry change, including but not limited to SHAKEN/STIR, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive products and services at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete effectively. 

 

Our automated group text and voice message delivery solution must integrate with a variety of network, hardware, mobile and software platforms and technologies, and we need to continuously modify and enhance it to adapt to changes and innovation in these technologies. For example, Apple, Google and other cell‑phone operating system providers or inbox service providers have developed and, may in the future develop, new applications or functions intended to filter spam and unwanted phone calls, messages or emails. Similarly, our network service providers may adopt new filtering technologies in an effort to combat spam or robocalling. Such technologies may inadvertently filter desired messages or calls to or from our customers. If cell-phone operating system providers, network service providers, our customers or their end users adopt new software platforms or infrastructure, we may be required to develop new versions of our solution to work with those new platforms or infrastructure. This development effort may require significant resources, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any failure of our solution to operate effectively with evolving or new platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our solution. If we are unable to respond to these changes in a cost‑effective manner, our solution may become less marketable and less competitive or obsolete, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. 

 

Dependence on Key Personnel. 

 

Our success depends in large part upon the continued successful performance of our current executive officers and key employees, Timothy J. Kilkenny, Roger P. Baresel and Jason C. Ayers, for our continued research, development, marketing and operation. Although we have employed, and will employ in the future, additional qualified employees as well as retaining consultants having significant experience, if Messrs. Kilkenny, Baresel or Ayers fail to perform any of their duties for any reason whatsoever, our ability to market, operate and support our products/services will be adversely affected. While we are located in areas where the available pool of people is substantial, there is also significant competition for qualified personnel. Consequently, our dependence on these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation. 

 

Limited Public Market. 

 

During February 2000, our common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol FULO. While our common stock currently trades on the OTC “Pink Sheets”, there can be no assurance that our shareholders will be able to sell their shares should they so desire. Any market for the common stock that may develop, in all likelihood, will be a limited one, and if such a market does develop, the market price may be volatile. Consequently, the limited public market for our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

Penny Stock Regulation. 

 

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 that are generally quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board (which is a facility of FINRA) or OTC Link LLC. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally, those persons with net assets, excluding their primary residence, in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse), must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that is or becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules at the present time, and consequently our shareholders will find it more difficult to sell their shares. Consequently, the Penny Stock regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of this Report. The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. For a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and our other periodic reports and documents filed with the SEC. 

 

Overview 

 

We are an integrated communications provider. Through our subsidiaries, we provide high quality, reliable and scalable Internet access, web hosting, equipment colocation, customized live help desk outsourcing services, group text and voice message delivery services, as well as advanced voice and data solutions. 

 

All of the markets that we are active in are extremely competitive. We anticipate that competition will continue to intensify. The tremendous growth and potential market size of these markets has attracted many new start-ups as well as existing businesses from a variety of industries. We believe that a reliable network, knowledgeable customer service and technical support personnel combined with live 24/7 support are the primary competitive factors in our targeted markets and that price is usually secondary to these factors. 

 

As long as we are a provider of telecommunications, we are affected by regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of our business at the state and Federal levels. These include proceedings before both the Federal Communications Commission and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (“OCC”). In addition, in our operations we rely on obtaining many of our underlying telecommunications services and/or facilities from incumbent local exchange carriers or other carriers pursuant to interconnection or other agreements or arrangements. 

 

Discontinued Operations 

 

In response to the changes in the telecommunications market and deterioration in our ability to effectively compete, we made the decision in the fourth quarter of 2017, to affect an orderly exit from the CLEC business. On October 27, 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted a plan to exit the CLEC business as soon as possible through the sale of its wholly owned CLEC subsidiary and/or substantially all of its CLEC subsidiary’s operating assets. We were in negotiations with a potential buyer at December 31, 2017, which buyer subsequently purchased substantially all of FullTel’s operating assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement which was executed and closed on February 1, 2018 (“the Sale”). 

 

The Company determined that the Sale represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results since it represented a complete exit from the CLEC business and, therefore, classified its CLEC subsidiary as held for sale at December 31, 2017. 

 

The Company recognized a gain of $233,277 on the Sale based on total consideration of $264,872 less total basis in the assets sold and transactions costs of $31,595. The assets sold consisted primarily of customers and associated customer premise equipment.

Revenue 

 

Revenue increased $350,444 or 16.9% to $2,420,924 for the year 2019 from $2,070,480 for the year 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to the net addition of new customers and the sale of additional services to existing customers. 

 

In 2019, we had other income of $116,440, which included $81,919 from the sale of a block of excess IPv4 numbers,  $8,679 from the write-off of open accounts payable that have been settled, $1,170 from the adjustment to the estimate of a contingent liability, $8,365 from interest on an investment bank account, and $16,307 from the gain recognized on partial lease termination. In 2018, we had other income of $116,230, which included $6,000 from the sale of an internet access service, $64,491 from the sale of a block of excess IPv4 numbers, $31,760 from the refund of the overpayment of certain property taxes, $1,477 from interest on an investment bank account, and $12,502 from the adjustment to the estimate of a contingent liability.

Operating Costs and Expenses 

 

Cost of revenue increased $72,930 or 29.4% to $320,609 for the year 2019 from $247,679 for the year 2018. This increase was primarily related to increases in costs of servicing new customers added through growth of business. 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $61,707 or 3.4% to $1,882,443 for the year 2019 from $1,820,736 for the year 2018. This increase was primarily a result of increases in advertising, professional services, rent, and bank and credit card fees of $59,518, $44,007, $3,719, and $3,021, respectively. These increases were offset by decreases in employee costs, travel and entertainment expenses, and utilities of $32,867, $9,882, and $1,183, respectively. In 2018, employee costs included $66,948 of stock-based compensation expense due to the immediate vesting of 1,750,000 employee stock options granted with an exercise price of $.04. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 77.8% for the year 2019 compared to 87.9% for the year 2018. 

 

 Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1,048 or 6.2% to $15,788 for the year 2019 from $16,836 for the year 2018 primarily related to assets reaching full depreciation and amortization. 

 

Interest Expense 

 

Interest expense decreased $1,572 or 85% to $277 for the year 2019 from $1,849 for the year 2018 primarily related to the payoff of the principal balance of the note payable on which the interest was calculated. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had $611,151 in cash and $1,087,065 in current liabilities. Current liabilities consist primarily of $467,682 in accrued and other liabilities, of which $314,165 is owed to our officers and directors, and $508,861 in deferred revenue. Our officers and directors, who are also major shareholders, have informally agreed to not seek payment of any of the amounts owed to them if such payment would jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. The deferred revenue represents advance payments for services from our customers which will be satisfied by our delivery of services in the normal course of business and will not require settlement in cash. 

 

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had working capital deficits of $454,985, and $718,712, respectively. We do not have a line of credit or credit facility to serve as an additional source of liquidity. Historically we have relied on shareholder loans as an additional source of funds. 

 

At December 31, 2019, of the $6,872 we owed to our trade creditors, $1,917 was past due. At December 31, 2019, no amounts were owed to related parties. 

 

Cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, consist of the following:

Cash used for principal payments on notes payable was $27,888 and $5,354, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. 

 

During the year ended December 31,2019, employee stock options for 480,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised by reducing deferred compensation payable by $1,440, and employee stock options for 38,666 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised for $116. During the year ended December 31, 2018, employee stock options for 1,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised by reducing deferred compensation payable by $70,000. 

 

The planned expansion of our business will require significant capital to fund capital expenditures, working capital needs, and debt service. Our principal capital expenditure requirements will include: 

 

mergers and acquisitions;  

improvement of existing services, development of new services; and  

further development of operations support systems and other automated back office systems.  

 

Because our cost of developing new networks and services, funding other strategic initiatives, and operating our business depend on a variety of factors (including, among other things, the number of customers and the service for which they subscribe, the nature and penetration of services that may be offered by us, regulatory changes, and actions taken by competitors in response to our strategic initiatives), it is almost certain that actual costs and revenues will materially vary from expected amounts and these variations are likely to increase our future capital requirements. 

 

Our ability to fund the capital expenditures and other costs contemplated by our business plan in the near term will depend upon, among other things, our ability to generate consistent net income and positive cash flow from operations as well as our ability to seek and obtain additional financing. Capital will be needed in order to implement our business plan, deploy our network, expand our operations and obtain and retain a significant number of customers in our target markets. Each of these factors is, to a large extent, subject to economic, financial, competitive, political, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. 

 

There is no assurance that we will be successful in developing and maintaining a level of cash flows from operations sufficient to permit payment of our liabilities. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, we will be required to modify or abandon our growth plans, limit our capital expenditures, restructure or refinance our liabilities or seek additional capital or liquidate our assets. There is no assurance that (i) any of these strategies could be effectuated on satisfactory terms, if at all, or on a timely basis or (ii) any of these strategies will yield sufficient proceeds to adequately fund operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. In applying these accounting principles, we must often make individual estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties. As might be expected, the actual results or outcomes are generally different than the estimated or assumed amounts. These differences are usually minor and are included in our consolidated financial statements as soon as they are known. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. 


17 

 


 


 

We periodically review the carrying value of our intangible assets when events and circumstances warrant such a review. One of the methods used for this review is performed using estimates of future cash flows. If the carrying value of our intangible assets is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds its fair value. We believe that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value are reasonable. Changes in estimates of these cash flows and fair value, however, could affect the calculation and result in additional impairment charges in future periods. 

 

We periodically review the carrying value of our property and equipment whenever business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the property and equipment are less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to fair market value and a charge is recorded to current operations. Significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, including significant adverse changes in business climate, adverse actions by regulators, unanticipated competition, loss of key customers and/or changes in technology or markets, could require a provision for impairment in a future period. 

 

We review loss contingencies and evaluate the events and circumstances related to these contingencies. We disclose material loss contingencies that are possible or probable, but cannot be estimated. For loss contingencies that are both estimable and probable the loss contingency is accrued and expense is recognized in the financial statements. 

 

Access service revenues are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of each contract as services are provided. Contract periods range from monthly to yearly. Carrier-neutral telecommunications colocation revenues and traditional telephone services and advanced voice and data services are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the contract as services are provided. Revenue that is received in advance of the services provided is deferred until the services are provided. Revenue related to set up charges is also deferred and amortized over the life of the contract. We classify certain taxes and fees billed to customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in revenue. 

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required and have not elected to report any information under this item. 

 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data. 

 

Our financial statements, prepared in accordance with Regulation S-K, are set forth in this Report beginning on page [31]. 

 

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. 

 

During 2019 and 2018, we did not have disagreements with our principal independent accountants. 

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 

 

Our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO/CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s


18 

 


 


rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO/CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. 

 

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. The framework used by our management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on our assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, was effective. 

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC adopted as of September 21, 2010, that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this annual report. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

 

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

 

We did not identify the proper accounting treatment for an operating lease pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. As a result of our subsequent research and identification the appropriate accounting treatment for this transaction, we gained an appropriate level of understanding regarding this type of transaction and do not believe that there will be a recurrence of this failure. 

 

As of the date of this filing, the item noted above was adjusted in the accompanying financial statements. 

 

PART III. 

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance. 

 

The following information is furnished as of April 10, 2020, for each person who serves on our Board of Directors or serves as one of our executive officers. Our Board of Directors currently consists of three members, although we intend to increase the size of the Board in the future. The directors serve one-year terms until their successors are elected. Our executive officers are elected annually by our Board. The executive officers serve terms of one year or until their death, resignation or removal by our Board. There are no family relationships between our directors and executive officers. In addition, there was no arrangement or understanding between any executive officer and any other person pursuant to which any person was selected as an executive officer.

President and Director

 

Timothy J. Kilkenny has served as our Chairman of the Board of Directors since our inception in May 1995. He served as our Chief Executive Officer from May 1995 until June 6, 2016. Prior to that time, he spent 14 years in the financial planning business as a manager for both MetLife and Prudential. Mr. Kilkenny is a graduate of Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. 

 

Roger P. Baresel became our Chief Executive Officer on June 6, 2016. He has been one of our directors and our Chief Financial Officer since November 2000, and our President from October 2003 until June 2016. Mr. Baresel is an experienced senior executive and consultant who has served at a variety of companies in a number of different industries. Mr. Baresel has the following degrees from the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, Oklahoma: BA Psychology, BS Accounting and MBA Finance, in which he graduated Summa Cum Laude. Mr. Baresel is also a certified public accountant. 

 

Jason C. Ayers became our President on June 6, 2016. He has been one of our directors since May 2013 and served as our Vice President of Operations from December 2000 until June 2016. Prior to that he served as President of Animus, a privately-held web hosting company which we acquired in April 1998. Mr. Ayers received a BS degree from Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma in May 1996 with a triple major in Computer Science, Math and Physics. Upon graduating, he was a co-founder of Animus. 

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert 

 

Because our board of directors only consists of three directors, each of whom does not qualify as an independent director; our board performs the functions of an audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that Roger P. Baresel, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer qualifies as a “financial expert.” This determination was based upon Mr. Baresel’s 

 

understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;  

ability to assess the general application of generally accepted accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;  

experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present the breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;  

understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and  

understanding of audit committee functions.  

 

Mr. Baresel’s experience and qualification as a financial expert were acquired through the active supervision of a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions and overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements. 

 

Mr. Baresel is not an independent director. We have been unable to attract a person to serve as one of our directors and that would qualify both as an independent director and as a financial expert because of inability to compensate our directors and provide liability insurance protection.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, Beneficial Ownership Reporting Requirements 

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and any persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC and each exchange on which our securities are listed, reports of ownership and subsequent changes in ownership of our common stock and our other securities. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us or written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that during 2019 all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were met. 

 

Code of Ethics 

 

Our board of directors has adopted our code of ethics that applies to all of our employees and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. Our code of ethics may be found on our website at www.fullnet.net. We will describe the nature of amendments to the code on our website, except that we may not describe amendments that are purely a technical, administrative, or otherwise non-substantive. We will also disclose on our website any waivers from any provision of the code that we may grant. We will also disclose on our website any violation of the code by our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. Information about amendments and waivers to the code will be available on our website for at least 12 months, and thereafter, the information will be available upon request for five years.

Stock Options Granted 

 

All options granted during 2019 were nonqualified stock options. During 2019, an aggregate of 483,000 options were granted outside of a formal plan. During 2019, 3,000 stock options were granted to one employee, and 160,000 stock options each were granted to Mr. Kilkenny, Mr. Baresel and Mr. Ayers. On May 17, 2019, an employee, certain officers and directors, and their family members exercised options to purchase 518,666 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the Options were $1,556, of which $1,440 was derived from the reduction of deferred compensation payable that the Company owed to these officers and directors, and the remaining $116 derived from a cash payment from the employee. During 2018, an aggregate of 2,013,000 options were granted outside of a formal plan to employees. During 2018, 350,000 stock options were granted to Mr. Kilkenny, and 700,000 stock options each were granted to Mr. Baresel and Mr. Ayers. On September 28, 2018, certain officers and directors and their family members exercised options to purchase 1,750,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. Proceeds from the exercise of the Options were $70,000, which was derived from the reduction of deferred compensation payable the Company owed to these officers and directors. All common shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, without payment of any form of commissions or other remuneration. 

 

Options granted generally become exercisable in part after one year from the date of grant and generally have a term of ten years following the date of grant, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the stock option agreement.

At December 31, 2019, the options had an aggregate value of $2,500, $3,000, and $3,000, respectively, based on an exercise price of $.01 per share and an average bid/ask price of $.01 per share.

Employment Agreements and Lack of Keyman Insurance 

 

On July 6, 2011, we entered into employment agreements with Timothy J. Kilkenny, Roger P. Baresel and Jason Ayers. Each agreement is effective July 1, 2011, and continued through an initial term ended December 31, 2018; however, the term was automatically extended for additional three-year terms, since neither we nor the employee gave a six-month advance notice of termination. These agreements provide, among other things, (i) an annual base salary of at least $61,656 for Mr. Kilkenny, $45,012 for Mr. Baresel and $68,436 for Mr. Ayers, (ii) bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors, (iii) entitlement to fringe benefits including medical and insurance benefits as may be provided to our other senior officers; and (iv) eligibility to participate in our incentive, bonus, benefit or similar plans. These agreements require the employee to devote the required time and attention to our business and affairs necessary to carry out his responsibilities and duties. These agreements may be terminated under certain circumstances and upon termination provide for (i) the employee to be released from personal liability for our debts and obligations, and (ii) the payment of any amounts we owe the employee. At December 31, 2019, we owed, including deferred compensation, $171,893, $53,049 and $87,224 to Mr. Kilkenny, Mr. Baresel and Mr. Ayers, respectively. 

 

We do not maintain any keyman insurance covering the death or disability of our executive officers. 

 

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters. 

 

The following table sets forth information as of April 10, 2020, concerning the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by each of our directors, each executive officer named in the table under the heading “Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance” and all of our directors and executive officers as a group, as well as each person who is known by us to own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The non-employee beneficial owner information is based on Schedules 13D or 13G filed by the applicable beneficial owner with the SEC or other information provided to us by the beneficial owner or our stock transfer agent.  Unless otherwise indicated, the beneficial owner has sole voting and investment power with respect to such stock.

Percent of class for any shareholder listed is calculated without regard to shares of common stock issuable to others upon exercise of outstanding stock options. Any shares a shareholder is deemed to own by having the right to acquire by exercise of an option or warrant are considered to be outstanding solely for the purpose of calculating that shareholder’s ownership percentage. We computed the percentage ownership amounts in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-3(d), which includes as beneficially owned all shares of common stock which the person or group has the right to acquire within the next 60 days, based upon 14,539,675 shares being outstanding at April 10, 2020.

The audit fees include services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our financial statements, review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports and other fees that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. Because our Board of Directors only consists of three directors, none of whom qualifies as an independent director; our Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee. It is our policy that the Board of Directors pre-approve all audit, tax and related services. All of the services described above in this Item 14 were approved in advance by our

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of 

Fullnet Communications, Inc. 

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fullnet Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

 

Basis for Opinion 

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

 

/s/ MaloneBailey, LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2013.

FullNet Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries 

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

 

December 31, 2019 and 2018 

 

NOTE A — SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS 

 

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. 

 

Nature of Operations 

 

FullNet Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) is an integrated communications provider offering Internet access, web hosting, equipment colocation, customized live help desk outsourcing services, group text and voice message delivery services, as well as advanced voice and data solutions to individuals, businesses, organizations, educational institutions and governmental agencies. Through its subsidiaries, FullNet, Inc., FullTel, Inc., FullWeb, Inc. and CallMultiplier, Inc., the Company provides high quality, reliable and scalable Internet based solutions designed to meet customer needs. Services offered include: 

 

Dial-up and direct high-speed connectivity to the Internet through the FullNet brand name;  

Carrier-neutral telecommunications premise colocation;  

Web page hosting;  

Equipment colocation;  

Customized live help desk outsourcing services;  

Group text and voice message delivery services; and  

Advanced voice and data solutions.  

 

Consolidation 

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FullNet Communications, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries FullNet, Inc., FullTel, Inc., FullWeb, Inc., and CallMultiplier, Inc. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 

 

Use of Estimates 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures; accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 

Cash Equivalents 

 

Cash equivalents are represented by operating accounts or money market accounts maintained with insured financial institutions which consist of highly liquid investments that mature in three months or less from date of purchase. 

 

The Company maintains a significant portion of its cash and cash equivalents in funds with a financial institution that is not covered by FDIC insurance. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had uninsured cash balances in this fund of $603,904 and $201,540, respectively. 

 

The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company does not believe there is significant credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents. 

 

Accounts Receivable 

 


 


 


The Company operates and grants credit, on an uncollateralized basis. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different industries as well as the Company’s emphasis on obtaining deposits and/or payment in advance for services from the majority of its customers. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had two customers that comprised approximately 14% and 5% of total revenues, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had two customers that each comprised approximately 12% and 6% of total revenues, respectively. 

 

Accounts receivable, other than certain large customer accounts which are evaluated individually, are considered past due for purposes of determining the allowance for doubtful accounts based on past experience of collectability as follows: 

 

 

 

 

1 – 29 days

 

 

1.5 %

30 – 59 days

 

 

30 %

60 – 89 days

 

 

50 %

> 90 days

 

 

100 %

 

In addition, if the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Total bad debt expense recovery for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,521.  Total bad debt expense and direct write-off for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2,560. 

 

Accounts receivable consist of the following at December 31:

Long-Lived Assets 

 

All long-lived assets held and used by the Company, including intangible assets, are reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASC 360-10-35 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, the Company bases its evaluation on such impairment indicators as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable the Company determines whether impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flows analysis of the asset. If impairment has occurred, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated value of the asset. No intangible assets were purchased in 2019 and 2018. The Company incurred no impairment expense in 2019 or 2018. Amortization expense of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $7,730 and $8,833, respectively. 

 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognized when control of the services sold by the Company is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services Revenue that is received in advance of the services provided is deferred until the services are provided by the Company. Revenue related to set up charges is also deferred and amortized over the life of the contract. Revenues are presented net of taxes and fees billed to customers and remitted to governmental authorities. 

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: 

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;  

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;  

Determination of the transaction price;  

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and  

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.  

The Company’s revenue is derived from fees earned from customers utilizing the Company’s services. The Company has four primary streams of revenue consisting of its automated voice and text group message delivery service, its colocation and web hosting service and its technical support service. Prior to February 1, 2018, the Company also had revenue from traditional telephone services (see Note I – Discontinued Operations), which was approximately 2% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenue from the Company’s automated voice and text group message delivery service and its access service is recognized pursuant to unwritten contracts created when the Company’s customers create an account on the Company’s website agreeing to be bound by the Company’s published Terms of Service when they purchase the Company’s service. 

 


 


 


Revenue from the Company’s traditional telephone services, its colocation and web hosting service, and its technical support service is recognized pursuant to written contracts executed by the Company and its customers. 

 

Each of the Company’s services represents a single performance obligation consisting of a distinct service. Access service revenues are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of each contract as services are provided. Contract periods range from monthly to yearly. Carrier-neutral telecommunications colocation revenues and traditional telephone services and advanced voice and data services are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the contract as services are provided. Revenue that is received in advance of the services provided is deferred until the services are provided. 

 

None of the Company’s services have a transaction price which includes variable consideration, a significant financing component, any noncash consideration or consideration payable to a customer. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the service transferred to each customer. 

 

Each of the Company’s services represents a single performance obligation and the “stand-alone selling price” is the same as the contract selling price. 

 

All of the Company’s services are sold pursuant to written and unwritten contracts which require payment in advance for the services. 

 

Advertising 

 

The Company expenses advertising production costs as they are incurred and advertising communication costs the first time the advertisement takes place. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $343,497 and $283,979, respectively. 

 

Income Taxes 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense and does not believe it has any material unrealized tax benefits at December 31, 2019. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. 

 

Income (Loss) Per Share 

 

Income (loss) per share – basic is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the year, including shares issuable without additional consideration. Income per share – assuming dilution is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential shares from options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method for preferred stock.

293,888   

 

Anti-dilutive securities consist of stock options and convertible promissory notes whose exercise price or conversion price, respectively, was greater than the average market price of the common stock. 

 

Stock-Based Compensation 

 

The Company does not have a written employee stock option plan. The Company has historically granted only employee stock options with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, a contractual term of ten years, and a vesting period of three years ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant (with limited exceptions). 

 

All employee stock options granted during 2019 and 2018 were nonqualified stock options. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the option, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). 

 


 


 


The fair values of the granted options are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note F – Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation for further information on stock-based compensation. 

 

Beneficial Conversion Features 

 

The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the common shares at the commitment date to be received upon conversion. 

 

Related Parties 

 

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party. 

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company had a secured convertible promissory note from a shareholder with a balance of $27,888 (see Note C – Convertible Note Payable Related Party). On February 26, 2019, the Company paid the remaining balance of $27,888. Additionally, the Company had no related party accounts payable to officers and directors for unpaid expense reimbursements as of December 31, 2019. 

 

Fair Value Measurements 

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: 

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. 

 

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date and includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars. 

 

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. 

 


 


 


The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, are based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to record assets and liabilities reflecting the leased assets and lease obligations, respectively, while following the dual model for recognition in statements of income requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019, as allowed, using the modified retrospective approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and not restating comparative periods. The only lease that we have is the real estate lease for our headquarters facility. As of January 1, 2019, the adoption of the standard resulted in recognition of an operating right-of-use, or ROU, liability of approximately $1,077,123 and an operating ROU asset of $1,077,123. These amounts are based on the present value of such commitments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. 

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

 

NOTE B — MANAGEMENT’S PLANS 

 

On August 27, 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from financial statement issuance and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. 

 

The Company has historically experienced significant operating losses with cumulative losses from inception of approximately $10 million. These losses have resulted in a negative working capital position of approximately $455,000 at December 31, 2019, of which approximately $314,000 of the Company’s current liabilities is owed to its officers and directors, and approximately $509,000 of the Company’s current liabilities is deferred revenue.  The Company’s officers and directors, who are also major shareholders, have agreed to not seek payment of any of the amounts owed to them if such payment would jeopardize the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The deferred revenue represents advance payments for services from the Company’s customers which will be satisfied by its delivery of services in the normal course of business and will not require settlement in cash. 

 

The Company started a number of initiatives in 2017 which included revenue enhancement initiatives, cost saving initiatives, the sale of excess assets and an orderly exit from the CLEC business. The Company was successful with its revenue enhancement and cost saving initiatives and in selling certain excess assets in the third quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, as well as effecting an orderly exit from the CLEC business through the sale of substantially all of its wholly owned subsidiary’s CLEC operating assets (see Note I – Discontinued Operations). 

 

As a result of these initiatives, the Company generated positive cash flow from its operating activities of approximately $428,000 and $186,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, the Company was able to generate net income from continuing operations of approximately $318,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to a net income of approximately $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

 

Management expects that the success of these initiatives will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for it to operate for the next 12 months. 

 


 


 


As a result of the revenue enhancement initiatives, the cost saving initiatives, the excess asset sales and the successful exit from the CLEC business, the Company has been able to significantly improve its working capital position and alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as defined by ASU 2014-05. We believe that the actions discussed above mitigate the substantial doubt raised by our prior operating losses and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate additional liquidity, including the availability of additional debt financing, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Additionally, a failure to generate additional liquidity could negatively impact our ability to effectively execute our business plan.

(1)  The note holder had the right to convert the note, in its entirety or in part, into common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. On February 26, 2019, the Company paid the remaining balance of $27,888.  During the year 2018, the Company made principal payments of $5,354. The secured convertible promissory note had a balance of $27,888 at December 31, 2018, of which $7,203 was short-term and $20,685 was long-term. 

 

This secured convertible promissory note was secured by certain equipment of the Company. Upon payment of the balance due on this secured convertible promissory note, title of the equipment was transferred to the Company free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. 

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting and beneficial conversion features consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and ASC 470-20 “Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features” and noted none. 

 

NOTE D – COMMITMENTS 

 

Operating Leases 

 

Under the new lease guidance (Topic 842), the Company recorded a ROU Lease Asset and associated Lease Liability for the Original Lease which as of December 31, 2019, had balances of $930,588 and $946,896, respectively. In recording the initial ROU Lease Asset and associated Lease Liability, the Company assumed that it would extend the lease for an additional five-year term at a rate per square foot which increased annually during the term. This lease was for 13,046 square feet at $17.00 per square foot and the Company assumed that the square footage would remain the same and the rate would increase by $.50 per square foot per year during the 5-year renewal period for purposes of calculating the ROU Lease Asset and associated Lease Liability. 

 

The Company leased its offices and data center in the BOK Plaza Building on a lease originally executed on December 2, 1999 and expiring on December 31, 2019, with all additional options to renew having been previously exercised (the “Original Lease”). The Company subsequently negotiated and executed two new


 


 


leases on November 22, 2019, covering the Company’s offices and data center which are effective January 1, 2020.  One lease is an addendum to the Original Lease and covers only the office space (the “FN Lease”) and the other lease covers the Company’s data center and is with FullWeb, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “FW Lease”). 

 

The combined square footage for the FN & FW Leases is 8,699 square feet, a reduction from the Original lease of 4,347 square feet or approximately 33%. This reduction occurred in the office space with the data center space remaining the same. In addition, both leases are at the rate of $17.50 per square foot for 5 years and both contain two 5-year options to renew at the then fair market rate per square foot. Of note, the FW Lease contains the right for the Company to opt-out of the FW Lease without penalty at each annual anniversary. 

 

The Company considers the execution of the two new leases to be a lease modification and has re-evaluated the effect of the lease modification on the Company’s conclusions under ASC 842 and determined that the leases should still be classified as operating leases. 

 

Pursuant to and upon execution of the FN Lease, the landlord transferred back to the Company 114,792 shares of the Company’s preferred stock which had been previously issued to the landlord in 2013, in satisfaction of $114,792 in unpaid rental payments which were then outstanding. The $78,203 value of these shares was recorded to Additional Paid-in Capital. 

 

As a result of the lease modification and the associated remeasurement of the lease liability, the Company used the same incremental borrowing rate of 8.5% as it used for the original lease calculations based on the fact that the nature of the underlying asset and the Company’s financial condition had not materially changed since the original lease calculation. 

 

The partial termination of the Original Lease resulted in a reduction of the Company’s ROU Asset and associated Lease Liability by approximately 33% consistent with the reduction in square footage the Company is now leasing. The impact was to reduce the Lease Liability by $328,563 from $946,896 to $618,333 and to reduce the ROU Asset by the same percentage resulting in a $312,255 reduction from $930,588 to $618,333. As a result of the partial termination the Company recognized a gain of $16,307. Amortization of the ROU Asset and payments of the associated Lease Liability for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $146,534 and $130,227, respectively, leaving a year-end December 31, 2019 balance of $618,333 for both the ROU Asset and the associated Lease Liability. 

 

Future minimum lease payments required at December 31, 2019, under non-cancelable operating leases that have initial lease terms exceeding one year are presented in the following table:

Rental expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was approximately $237,014 and $296,166, respectively. 

 

NOTE E — INCOME TAXES 

 

The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. 


 


 


 

The Company has historically incurred losses from operations and therefore had no tax liability. The net deferred asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $2,064,225 and $2,749,945 for 2019 and 2018, respectively and will begin expiring in 2023. 

 

Deferred tax assets consist of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. Management does not believe that the Company’s recent achievement of profitability has been of sufficient magnitude and consistency to offset the Company’s long history of losses and has therefore provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability. Deferred tax assets consist of the following:

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") was signed by the President of the United States and enacted into law on December 22, 2017. The TCJA significantly changes U.S. tax law by reducing the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21.0% from 35.0%, adopting a territorial tax regime, creating new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings and imposing a one-time transition tax on the undistributed earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. 

 

The net change during the 2019 year in the total valuation allowance was a decrease of $144,001 primarily related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to an estimated taxable income of $317,290 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The reduction of net deferred tax assets due to the rate revaluation also decreased the amount of the valuation allowance by the same amount resulting in no overall net impact to the Company's income tax provision. 

 

NOTE F — COMMON STOCK AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 

 

COMMON STOCK 

 

On May 17, 2019, certain employees, officers and directors and their family members exercised options to purchase 518,666 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for cash proceeds of $116 and the reduction of deferred compensation payable to officers and directors of $1,440. 

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 

 

The Company does not have a written employee stock option plan. The Company has historically granted only employee stock options with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, a contractual term of ten years, and a vesting period of three years ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant (with limited exceptions). 

 

All employee stock options granted during 2019 and 2018 were nonqualified stock options. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the option, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant).

During the year 2019, 483,000 employee stock options were granted, of which 480,000 vested immediately, and 3,000 will vest one-third on each annual anniversary of the grant date resulting in $15,885 of stock options compensation. Stock options compensation of $7,910 recorded in the year 2019 was related to options that were granted in prior years. Additionally, 16,333 employee stock options were forfeited that were related to options granted in prior years. At December 31, 2019 there was $7,398 of unrecognized stock options compensation that is expected to be recognized as an expense over a weighted-average period of 3 years.

NOTE G — SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK 

 

On March 13, 2020, the Company’s board of directors made the determination that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to conserve the Company’s working capital at this time and not make the annual dividend payment for the year ended December 31, 2019, on its Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A”). The Company has never made an annual dividend payment on its Series A. 

 

The holders of shares of the Series A are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Company’s board of directors, dividends in cash in the amount of one cent per share per annum through December 31, 2016, five cents per share per annum through December 31, 2017, six cents per share per annum through December 31, 2018, seven cents per share per annum through December 31, 2019, eight cents per share per annum through December 31, 2020, nine cents per share per annum through December 31, 2021, ten cents per share per annum through December 31, 2022, eleven cents per share per annum through December 31, 2023, and twelve cents per share per annum thereafter, payable within 90 days following the 31st day of December each year on such date as determined by the board of directors. The dividends are cumulative and beginning January 1, 2017, the board of directors of the Company may elect to make any required dividend payment with the Company’s unregistered common stock in lieu of cash. 

 

Due to the unstated dividend cost arising from the gradually increasing dividends on the Series A, the Company calculated a discount on the Series A at the time of issuance as the present value of the difference between (i) the dividends that are payable in the periods preceding commencement of the perpetual twelve cents per share per annum dividend; and (ii) the perpetual twelve cents per share per annum dividend for a corresponding number of periods; discounted at a market rate of 12% totaling $309,337. The Series A was valued at the market price on the respective date of issuance for a total value of $672,472. The discount will be amortized over the periods preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend, by charging imputed dividend cost against retained


 


 


earnings and increasing the carrying amount of the Series A by a corresponding amount. The discount amortization for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $13,287 and $20,174, respectively. The discount amortization per share for the years 2019 and 2018 was $0.02 and $0.03, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding accumulated arrearages of cumulative dividend was $188,817 or if issued in common shares, 6,293,907 shares. 

 

The Series A was originally issued as non-voting and provided that in the event that the Company failed, for any reason, to make a dividend payment as set forth above, then each share of the Series A shall thereafter be entitled to two votes upon any matter that the holders of the common stock of the Company are entitled to vote upon.  Since the Series A issuance in 2013, the Company’s board of directors determined annually that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to conserve the Company’s working capital and has not made the annual dividend payment. As a result, each share of the Series A is entitled to two votes upon any matter that the holders of the common stock of the Company are entitled to vote upon. 

 

The Series A may be redeemed at the option of the Company’s board of directors for one dollar per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon at the date of redemption. In addition, at any time after a change of control of the Company, the holders of the Series A shall have the right, at the election of a majority of the holders, to require the Company to redeem all of the Series A for one dollar per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon at the date of redemption. 

 

The Series A has a liquidation preference of one dollar per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. 

 

Pursuant to and upon execution of its headquarters office space lease in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company’s landlord transferred back to the Company 114,792 shares of the Company’s Series A which had been previously issued to the landlord in 2013, in satisfaction of $114,792 in unpaid rental payments which were then outstanding.   Of these shares returned, 62,378 shares were reassigned to the CEO by reducing deferred compensation payable, and the remaining 52,414 were cancelled. 

 

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 59,634 shares of the Series A in return for a payment of $20,276. 

 

As of December 31, 2019, there were 875,054 shares of Series A outstanding with voting power representing 10.74% of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding stock. 

 

The Company analyzed the embedded conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the conversion option should be classified as equity. 

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option for beneficial conversion features consideration under ASC 470-20 “Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features” and noted none. 

 

NOTE I – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 

 

In response to the changes in the telecommunications market and deterioration in the Company’s ability to effectively compete, the Company made the decision to exit the CLEC business. On October 27, 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted a plan to exit the CLEC business as soon as possible through the sale of its wholly owned CLEC subsidiary and/or substantially all of its CLEC subsidiary’s operating assets. The Company was in negotiations with a potential buyer at December 31, 2017, which buyer subsequently purchased substantially all of its CLEC subsidiary’s operating assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement which was executed and closed on February 1, 2018, (the “Sale”). 

 

The Company determined that the Sale represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results since it represented a complete exit from the CLEC business and, therefore, classified its CLEC subsidiary as held for sale at December 31, 2017. 

 

The Company recognized a gain of $233,277 on the Sale based on total consideration of $264,872 less total basis in the assets sold and transactions costs of $31,595. The assets sold consisted primarily of customers and associated customer premise equipment.

NOTE J – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

 

In February 2020, the Company granted 1,108,000 employee stock options to 15 employees with an exercise price of $0.01. The stock options shall vest one-third each year starting in February 28, 2021, and shall expire on February 28, 2030. 

 

As the global spread of COVID-19 continues, the pandemic has disrupted economies worldwide and its ultimate impacts are uncertain. While the ultimate impacts of COVID-19 cannot be determined, they are expected to have material and adverse economic effects, and the pandemic could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

ARTICLE 2:PREMISES AND TERM 

 

2. 1PREMISES 

LANDLORD hereby leases to TENANT, and TENANT hereby leases from LANDLORD, TENANT's Space in the Building, as shown in Exhibit B. TENANT's Space is hereinafter referred to as "the Premises".

 

2.1.1RENTABLE FLOOR AREA.  Rentable Floor Area or Rentable Square Feet as used is approximate and determined by Landlord or its representatives utilizing local industry standards. 

 

2.2TERM 

The Lease Term shall begin on the Scheduled Term Commencement Date (the "Commencement Date") and continue until the Expiration Date, unless postponed, accelerated or extended as hereinafter provided.

 

2.2.1EARLY OCCUPANCY. If the TENANT occupies the Leased Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Rent will commence on the date of such occupancy at the average rate applicable to the first twelve months of the Term, and the Term will be extended to include the period of such early occupancy. 

2.2.2DELAYED OCCUPANCY. To the extent that LANDLORD agrees to perform construction pursuant to Exhibit C, if for any reason construction has not reached substantial completion on the Commencement Date, this Lease will nevertheless continue in effect. If the failure to reach substantial completion arises from: (a) the TENANT's failure to furnish final working drawings prior to TENANT's Design Completion Date; (b) any delay in construction caused by any change in or addition to the work ordered by the TENANT; (c) the TENANT's failure to pay the TENANT Improvement Reimbursement to LANDLORD; or (d) any other default, delay or omission by the TENANT; the payment of Rent will begin on the Commencement Date and the Term will not be modified. If the failure to reach substantial completion arises through no fault of the TENANT, the Rent will abate and not commence until the date of substantial completion; provided that such abatement will be for a period of no greater than one hundred eighty (180) days unless the LANDLORD and TENANT otherwise agree in writing. Such abatement of Rent will constitute full settlement of all claims which the TENANT might otherwise have against the LANDLORD by reason of any delay in occupancy of the Premises. Any delay in occupancy will not extend the Term Expiration Date as set forth in section 1.1. 

 

ARTICLE 3:CONSTRUCTION      INTENTIONALLY DELETED 

 

3.1INITIAL CONSTRUCTION 

Except to the extent of construction work that LANDLORD agrees to perform pursuant to EXHIBIT C, TENANT agrees to take the Premises in their existing condition as of the date of this Lease.

 

If the LANDLORD agrees in EXHIBIT C to perform construction, then TENANT shall, on or before TENANT's Design Completion Date, provide to LANDLORD complete sets of plans and specifications acceptable to LANDLORD prepared at TENANT's expense by an architect approved by LANDLORD, including but not limited to: dimensioned partition plans, furniture and equipment layout plans, dimensioned electrical and telephone outlet plans, reflected ceiling plans, door and hardware


schedules, room finish schedules including wall, carpet, and floor tile colors, electrical and mechanical engineering plans, and all other necessary construction details and specifications.

 

3.2TENANT IMPROVEMENT REIMBURSEMENT TO LANDLORD      INTENTIONALLY DELETED 

Unless otherwise specified in EXHIBIT C, the cost of all construction performed by LANDLORD in accordance with the aforesaid plans and specifications shall be at TENANT's expense. TENANT agrees to pay the TENANT Improvement Reimbursement to LANDLORD one half before the LANDLORD begins construction and one half on the date of substantial completion. In the event the TENANT orders any changes in or additions to the work, all costs resulting there from will be paid by TENANT on the date of substantial completion. If no figure is shown in Section 1.1 hereof, the TENANT Improvement Reimbursement to LANDLORD shall equal the LANDLORD's total cost of construction (including any supervisory fee to LANDLORD's managing agent) less the cost of any allowance to TENANT specified in EXHIBIT C.

 

3.3GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CONSTRUCTION 

TENANT's furniture, furnishings, telephones, and equipment shall be the responsibility of TENANT, and shall be coordinated with any work being performed by LANDLORD in such a manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations and not damage the Building or interfere with Building operations. The installation of furniture, furnishings, telephones, and equipment shall be performed at TENANT's direction and expense during weekday working hours when LANDLORD's maintenance personnel are available for supervision and coordination with building operations. If TENANT wishes to perform this work at other times it shall pay the overtime cost of LANDLORD's supervisory personnel. TENANT agrees to provide LANDLORD with an insurance certificate from any contractor it employs before the contractor begins work in the Building.

 

All construction work required or permitted by this Lease, whether by LANDLORD or by TENANT, shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances, regulations and orders of governmental authorities and insurers of the Building. LANDLORD's obligations under Section 3.1 shall be deemed to have been performed when TENANT commences to occupy any portion of the Premises, except for items which are incomplete or do not conform with the requirements of Section 3.1 and as to which TENANT in either case has given written notice to LANDLORD within thirty (30) days after such commencement. If TENANT has not commenced to occupy the Premises within thirty (30) days after they are ready for occupancy, a certificate of completion by a licensed architect or registered engineer shall be conclusive evidence that LANDLORD has performed all such obligations except for items stated in such certificate to be incomplete or not in conformity with such requirements.

 

LANDLORD will not approve any construction, alterations, or additions requiring unusual expense to readapt the Premises to normal office use on lease termination or increasing the cost of construction, insurance or taxes on the Building or of LANDLORD's services called for by Section 5.1 unless TENANT first gives assurances acceptable to LANDLORD that such re-adaptation will be made prior to such termination without expense to LANDLORD and makes provisions acceptable to LANDLORD for payment of such increased cost. LANDLORD will also disapprove any construction, alterations or additions requested by TENANT that will delay completion of the Premises or the Building. Following its approval of the plans and specifications, the LANDLORD agrees to carry out the construction called for in Exhibit C. All such work shall be performed by the LANDLORD's contractors.  All construction, alterations, and additions shall be part of the Building and under no circumstances removed by TENANT except for items which the parties agree in writing at the time of LANDLORD's approval shall be removed by TENANT on termination of this Lease, or shall be removed or left at TENANT's election.

TENANT agrees to pay LANDLORD rent for the Premises, without any offset or reduction whatever (except as made in accordance with the express provisions of this Lease), equal to the Total Scheduled Base Rent, in monthly installments as shown in Section 1.1 payable in advance with the first month’s rent due upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease and then payable on the twenty-fifth day of each calendar month included in the Term; and for any portion of a calendar month at the beginning or end of the Term, at the prorated monthly rate in advance.

 

4.2ADDITIONAL RENT 

4.2.1DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this paragraph the following terms shall have the following definitions: 

(a)"OPERATING EXPENSES" shall mean all of LANDLORD's actual operating expenses in connection with the operation of the Building and the Real Estate according to standard accounting practices, including, but not limited to, expenses incurred by LANDLORD in providing the services contemplated by this Lease, expenses incurred by LANDLORD insuring the Building, routine maintenance and repair expenses, the cost, amortized over a reasonable period (not less than five (5) years), and associated financing costs, of any capital improvement made after completion of the Building if such improvement shall constitute a substantial cost saving or labor saving device, and management fees (not to exceed 5% of gross rents from the Building) and other expense, but excluding depreciation of the Building or equipment owned by LANDLORD, interest cost, income taxes, costs of maintaining LANDLORD's corporate existence, franchise taxes, real estate commissions, TENANT's improvements, salaries of officers and executives of LANDLORD or any expenditures required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes, except as set forth above. 

(b)"REAL ESTATE TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS" shall mean and include all general and special real and personal property taxes and assessments levied upon or assessed against the Building, the Real Estate, or any other improvements, fixtures, or personal property owned by LANDLORD and located on the Real Estate.  With reference to special assessments when the same are payable over a period of years, only that portion required by law to be paid during a calendar year, together with any interest thereon, shall be treated as a tax or assessment allocable to such year. 

(c)"BUILDING VACANCY" for any calendar year, shall mean the average of the rate of vacancy in the Building in each calendar month in such year.  The rate of vacancy in the Building in any calendar month shall be determined by dividing the total square footage of the Building Rentable Area which is vacant on the first day of such calendar month by the total square footage of the Building Rentable Area. 

(d)"TENANT'S SHARE" for any calendar year, shall be the proportion which the TENANT Rentable Area bears to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building Rentable Area or to the total Building Rentable Area leased, if such total is greater than 95% of the Building Rentable Area. 

(e)"ADDITIONAL RENT" shall mean all amounts payable by TENANT under this paragraph. 

4.2.2REAL ESTATE TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS.If during any calendar year during any part of which this Lease shall be in effect, the sum of the Operating Expense and Real Estate Taxes and Assessments exceeds the product of the Building Rentable Area for such year  


and the Expense Stop, TENANT shall pay to LANDLORD, TENANT's Share of such excess, if any.

4.2.3GROSS-UP.    If, during any calendar year during any part of which this lease shall be in effect there is any Building Vacancy, Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes and Assessments shall be adjusted at the end of the year as though the Building had no vacancy during such year. 

4.2.4DETERMINATION OF ADDITIONAL RENT.Additional Rent shall be determined annually, LANDLORD shall, as soon as possible after the determination of the Additional Rent for any calendar year, but no later than September 30 of the following calendar year, furnish TENANT a statement in writing setting forth the amount of Additional Rent and the basis for the calculations thereof. 

4.2.5PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT.Within ten (10) days of TENANT's receipt of such statement, TENANT shall pay to LANDLORD (i) all Additional Rent for the previous calendar year not theretofore paid and (ii) the product of 1/12 of the Additional Rent for the previous calendar year and the number of lapsed months in the current calendar year less Additional Rent already paid during such months, for application on the Additional Rent payable with respect to the current calendar year. Until further notice of change in Additional Rent, there shall be due from TENANT on the twenty-fifth day of each calendar month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Additional Rent set forth in such notice, to be applied against the Additional Rent owed for the calendar year or years in which such payments are made. 

4.2.6PARTIAL YEAR.If this Lease begins on a day other than the first day of a calendar year or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the Additional Rent for such calendar years shall be prorated.  TENANT's obligation to pay Additional Rent for the final calendar year during any part of which the Lease shall be in effect shall survive the expiration of termination hereof.  If this Lease expires on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, LANDLORD shall, within thirty (30) days of such date, send TENANT a statement for TENANT's share of any estimated increase in Operating Expenses for such partial year, which TENANT shall pay within ten (10) days from receipt of such statement.  Should, upon final accounting, the actual increase in Operating Expenses be less than estimated, a refund shall be made to TENANT for such excess. 

4.2.7AUDIT.TENANT may, at its own expense, cause an audit to be made of LANDLORD's Operating Expenses to be made with respect to LANDLORD's determination of Additional Rent upon written notice received by LANDLORD within thirty (30) days following the date on which TENANT receives notice of any Additional Rent pursuant to the terms hereof.  If as a result of such audit, a determination is made that the Additional Rent specified in the LANDLORD's notice is in excess of or less than the Additional Rent determined on audit, then LANDLORD shall promptly refund to TENANT all sums theretofore paid by TENANT in excess of the amount owed, or TENANT shall pay to LANDLORD all additional sums owed to LANDLORD as Additional Rent and subsequent Installments of Additional Rent payable in such year shall be appropriately adjusted.  If the Additional Rent specified in the LANDLORD's notice is 3% or more in excess of the Additional Rent due as determined by the audit, LANDLORD shall reimburse TENANT all costs and expenses incurred by TENANT in connection with such audit.  Any audit conducted by TENANT hereunder shall not suspend TENANT's obligation to pay Additional Rent pursuant to the terms hereof during the period of such audit.  LANDLORD's determination of Additional Rent shall be conclusively binding unless TENANT notifies LANDLORD of its intent to audit within the 30 days set forth above.  In the event that TENANT elects to audit LANDLORD's Operating Expenses in accordance with this paragraph, such audit must be conducted by an independent accounting firm that is not being compensated by TENANT on a contingency fee basis. 

 

4.3LATE PAYMENTS 

 

4.3.1INTEREST.  If any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent, or on account of tenant improvements, is received more than 10 days after the due date thereof, at LANDLORD's  


election, it shall bear interest at a rate equal to 1.5% per month from such due date, which interest shall be immediately due and payable as further rent.

4.3.2LATE CHARGES.If tenant fails to make any Rent or other payments due to the LANDLORD hereunder on or before the date such payment would constitute a Default, then in addition to the amount due and any interest hereon, TENANT will be obligated to the Late Charges as set out herein below.  Rent not received by the LANDLORD by the 30th day of the month is subject to the Late Charges. 

(a)LANDLORD MAY INCUR UNANTICIPATED COSTS.TENANT’s failure to pay Rent, Additional Rent, or any other Lease costs when due under this Lease may cause LANDLORD to incur unanticipated costs.  The exact amount of such costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain.  Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on LANDLORD by any ground lease, mortgage, or deed of trust encumbering the Center. 

(b)TENANT OWES LATE CHARGE.Therefore, if LANDLORD does not receive the Rent, Additional Rent, or any other Lease costs in full on or before the thirtieth (30th) day of the month it becomes due, tenant shall pay LANDLORD a late charge, which shall constitute liquidated damages, equal to ten percent (10%) of the payment due, with a minimum of fifty dollars ($50.00) (“Late Charge”), which shall be paid to LANDLORD together with such Rent, Additional Rent, or other lease costs then in arrears. 

(c)LATE CHARGE IS FAIR ESTIMATE.The parties agree that such Late Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost LANDLORD will incur by reason of such late payment. 

(d)IF TENANTS CHECK RETURNED.For each TENANT payment check to LANDLORD that is returned by a bank for any reason, TENANT shall pay both a Late Charge (if applicable) and a Returned Rent Charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) or such amount as shall be customarily charged by LANDLORDS bank at the time. 

(e)CHARGES BECOME “ADDITIONAL RENT”.All Late Charges and any Returned check Charge shall then become Additional Rent and shall be due and payable immediately along with such other Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs then in arrears. 

(f)APPLICATION OF MONEY FROM TENANT.Money paid by TENANT to LANDLORD shall be applied to TENANT’s account in the following order: (i) to any unpaid Additional Rent, including, without limitation, Late Charges, Returned Check Charges, legal fees and/or court costs legally chargeable to TENANT, and Operating Expenses and/or CAM Costs; and the (ii) to unpaid Base Rent. 

(g)LANDLORD MAY PURSUE OTHER REMEDIES.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to compel LANDLORD to accept any payment of Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs in arrears or Late Charge or Returned Check Charge should LANDLORD elect to apply its rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law or equity in the event of default hereunder by TENANT.  LANDLORD’s acceptance of Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs in arrears or late Charge or Returned Check Charge pursuant to this Clause shall not constitute a waiver of LANDLORD’s rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law or equity. 

(h)PAYMENT BY CERTIFIED FUNDS.LANDLORD reserves the right to require that all payments due from TENANT be paid by cashier's check, money order or other certified funds if TENANT has more than two (2) checks returned for any reason.

In the event of any such connection, TENANT agrees to an increase in the Base Rent by an amount which will reflect the cost to LANDLORD of the additional electric service to be furnished by LANDLORD, such increase to be effective as of the date of any such installation. 

(3)Whenever the Base Rent is to be increased pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, if LANDLORD and TENANT cannot agree thereon, such amount shall be conclusively determined by a reputable independent electrical engineer selected by LANDLORD and paid equally by both parties, and the cost to LANDLORD will be included in LANDLORD's Operating Costs as provided in Section 4.2 hereof.

In case LANDLORD is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any service or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on LANDLORD's part, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond LANDLORD's control or in case TENANT's access to the Premises is limited by LANDLORD's repairs, alterations, or improvements, LANDLORD shall not be liable to TENANT therefor, nor, except as expressly otherwise provided in ARTICLE Vll, shall TENANT be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in TENANT's favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises.

 

LANDLORD reserves the right to stop any service or utility system when necessary by reason of accident or emergency or until necessary repairs have been completed. Except in case of emergency repairs, LANDLORD will give TENANT reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to TENANT by reason thereof.

ARTICLE 8:CASUALTY AND TAKING 

 

8. 1CASUALTY 

If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty and such damage cannot be repaired within 120 days (as estimated by the LANDLORD as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such damage), this Lease, at the option of the LANDLORD, exercised by giving written notice thereof to the TENANT within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage, will terminate as of the date such notice is given. On such termination the TENANT will pay Rent and all other obligations of the TENANT apportioned to the date on which such damage occurred and will immediately surrender the Premises to the LANDLORD. If the damage can be repaired within 120 days, or if the damage cannot be repaired within 120 days but the LANDLORD does not exercise the option to terminate this Lease, the LANDLORD will, at the LANDLORD's expense to the extent of the net award of insurance, make the necessary repairs and this Lease will continue in effect, but the Rent will be equitably abated (as determined in the good faith judgment of the LANDLORD) until such repairs are made, unless such damage is so slight that the TENANT's occupancy of the Premises is not materially interrupted, in which case the Rent will not be abated or reduced.

 

8.2TAKING 

If all or any substantial part of the Premises, the Building, or the land is taken or condemned for any public use or purpose by right of eminent domain (with or without litigation) or is transferred by agreement in connection with or in lieu of or under threat of condemnation, the Term and the leasehold estate created hereby will, at the option of the LANDLORD, terminate as of the date title vests in the condemnor or transferee. If the Lease is not so terminated, the LANDLORD will put the Premises (or the remaining portion) into proper condition for occupancy to the extent permitted by the net award for damages, and the Rent will be equitably abated (as determined in the good faith judgment of the LANDLORD) until such repairs are made, or in the case of a permanent reduction in area of the Premises, until the end of the Term. The LANDLORD will receive the entire award from such taking (or the entire compensation paid on account of any transfer by agreement) and the TENANT will have no claim thereto. The TENANT shall have the right, however, to make a claim in a separate action for any damages payable for movable trade fixtures and moving expenses.

 

ARTICLE 9:RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE 

 

9.1PRIORITY OF LEASE

The holder of any such presently existing mortgage or deed of trust shall have the election to subordinate the same to the rights and interests of TENANT under this Lease exercisable by filing with the appropriate recording office a notice of such election.


 

This Lease shall be superior to any mortgage, deed of trust or other voluntary lien hereafter placed on the mortgaged premises unless the option provided in the following sentence shall be exercised. The holder of any such mortgage, deed of trust or other voluntary lien shall have the option to subordinate this Lease to the same, provided that such holder enters into an agreement with TENANT by the terms of which the holder will agree to recognize the rights of TENANT under this Lease in the event of acquisition of title by such holder through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise and TENANT will agree to recognize the holder of such mortgage as LANDLORD in such event, which agreement shall be made to expressly bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of TENANT and of the holder and upon anyone purchasing the mortgaged premises at any foreclosure sale.

 

9.2NO PREPAYMENT OR MODIFICATION 

TENANT shall not pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other charge more than ten days prior to the due dates thereof. No prepayment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges, no assignment of this Lease and no agreement to make or accept any surrender, termination or cancellation of this Lease and no agreement to modify so as to reduce the rent, change the Term, or otherwise materially change the rights of LANDLORD under this Lease, or to relieve TENANT of any obligations or liability under this Lease, shall be valid unless consented to in writing by LANDLORD's mortgagees of record, if any.

9.3NO RELEASE OR TERMINATION 

No act or failure to act on the part of LANDLORD which would entitle TENANT under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of TENANT's obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) TENANT shall have first given written notice of LANDLORD's act or failure to act to LANDLORD's mortgagees of record, if any, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of LANDLORD which could or would give basis to TENANT's rights and (ii) such mortgagees, after receipt of such notice, have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within a reasonable time thereafter. Reasonable time as used above means a reasonable time to obtain possession of the mortgaged premises, if the mortgagee elects to do so, and a reasonable time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist.

 

9.4MORTGAGEES APPROVAL 

LANDLORD's obligation to perform its covenants and agreements hereunder may be subject to the condition precedent that this Lease be approved by the holder of any mortgage of which the Premises are a part and by the issuer of any commitment to provide permanent financing which is in effect on the date hereof. Unless LANDLORD gives TENANT written notice within 15 business days after the date hereof that such holder or issuer, or both, disapprove this Lease, then this condition shall be deemed to have been satisfied or waived and the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall be of no further force or effect.

 

ARTICLE 10:DEFAULT 

 

10.1EVENTS OF DEFAULT 

The following events will be deemed to be events of default by the TENANT under this Lease: (a) failure to pay any Base Rent or Additional Rent or other sums payable by the TENANT hereunder when such sums become due; (b) failure to comply with any term of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations to be observed by the TENANT; (c) vacation or abandonment of any portion of the Premises; (d) the filing by or against the TENANT or any Guarantor of any proceeding under the federal bankruptcy act or any similar law; (e) the adjudication of the TENANT or any Guarantor as bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed under the federal bankruptcy act or any similar law; (f) the insolvency of the TENANT or any Guarantor or the making of a transfer in fraud of creditors or an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (g) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for the TENANT, any Guarantor or any of the assets of the TENANT.


10.2REMEDIES 

If TENANT has failed to cure a default described in sub-paragraph 9.1(a) within ten (10) days after written notice, or if TENANT has failed to cure a default described in Subparagraph 9.1(b) within thirty (30) days after written notice or such longer time as is reasonably necessary if TENANT commences to cure within such thirty (30) days, or upon the occurrence of any other event of default the LANDLORD will have the option to do any one or more of the following without any further notice or demand including without limitation any notice of forfeiture or notice to vacate, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy permitted by law or by this Lease:

10.2.1TERMINATION.The LANDLORD may terminate this Lease, in which event the TENANT will immediately surrender the Premises to the LANDLORD, but if the TENANT fails to do so, the LANDLORD may without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy the LANDLORD might have, enter and take possession of the Premises and remove the TENANT and the TENANT's property therefrom without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor. 

10.2.2ACCELERATION.The LANDLORD may declare the entire amount of the rent to become payable during the remainder of the Term to be due immediately, in which event the TENANT agrees to pay the same to the LANDLORD on demand. The acceleration and acceptance by the LANDLORD of the payment of such rent will not constitute a waiver of any default then existing or thereafter occurring hereunder. 

10.2.3RE-LETTING.The LANDLORD may enter and take possession of the Premises as the agent of the TENANT without terminating this Lease and without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and the LANDLORD may re-let the Premises as the agent of the TENANT and receive the rent therefore, in which event the TENANT will pay to the LANDLORD, on demand, the cost of renovating, repairing and altering the Premises and any deficiency that might arise by reason of such re-letting; provided, however, that the LANDLORD will have no duty to re-let the Premises and the failure of the LANDLORD to re-let the Premises will not release or affect the TENANT's liability for rent or for damages. 

10.2.4OPTION TO PERFORM.The LANDLORD may perform or cause to be performed the obligations of the TENANT under this Lease and may enter the Premises to accomplish such purpose without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefore. The TENANT agrees to reimburse the LANDLORD on demand for any expense which the LANDLORD might incur in effecting compliance with this Lease on behalf of the TENANT (together with interest at the rate of 11/2% per month), and the TENANT further agrees that the LANDLORD will not be liable for any damages resulting to the TENANT from such action, whether caused by the negligence of the LANDLORD or otherwise. 

 

10.3DAMAGES 

In any case where LANDLORD has terminated this Lease under Section 10.2.1 or where LANDLORD has entered and repossessed the Premises under Section 10.2.3, LANDLORD, at LANDLORD's option, may cause the Premises to be redecorated, altered, divided, consolidated with adjoining premises, or otherwise changed or prepared for re-letting, and may re-let the Premises or any part thereof for any term or terms, and receive the rentals therefore, applying these rentals first to the payment of such reasonable expenses as LANDLORD may have incurred in connection with any termination of this Lease under Section 10.2.1 or any entry and repossession of the Premises under Section 10.2.3, and any redecoration, altering, dividing, consolidating with adjoining premises or otherwise changing or preparing for re-letting and re-letting, including attorneys' and brokerage fees, and then to the payment of LANDLORD's damages hereunder which damages are deemed to equal all rentals and all other payments due and to become due hereunder plus all expenses of LANDLORD's performance of TENANT's other covenants as herein provided; TENANT agrees that, upon any such termination or any such entry and repossession, and regardless of whether or not LANDLORD has re-let, TENANT shall pay to LANDLORD LANDLORD's damages hereunder equal to all accrued and accelerated rentals and to all other payments herein agreed to be paid by TENANT, less the net proceeds of re-letting, if any, payable to LANDLORD under any re-letting effected by LANDLORD prior to entry of judgment against TENANT for said damages. In re-letting the Premises, LANDLORD may grant rent concessions and


TENANT shall not be credited therewith. No re-letting shall constitute a surrender and acceptance or a release of TENANT or of any guarantor of TENANT from obligations under this Lease. LANDLORD shall have no obligation to attempt to re-let the Premises after any such termination or any such entry and repossession and LANDLORD shall have no liability to TENANT for any failure to re-let or for any failure to collect or to receive rentals from a re-letting. TENANT hereby waives and relinquishes any and all claims to any and all proceeds of any re-letting which exceed the damages required to be paid to LANDLORD by TENANT hereunder on account of TENANT's default.

 

10.4NO WAIVER OR ACCEPTANCE 

No action by the LANDLORD during the Term will be deemed an acceptance of an attempted surrender of the Premises and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises will be valid unless made in writing and signed by the LANDLORD. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by the LANDLORD will be construed as an election by the LANDLORD to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of termination is given to the TENANT. Notwithstanding any such re-letting, re-entry or taking possession, the LANDLORD may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for a previous default. The LANDLORD's acceptance of rent following the occurrence of an event of default will not be construed as the LANDLORD's waiver of such event of default. No waiver by the LANDLORD of any default by the TENANT will be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other or future default hereunder. Forbearance by the LANDLORD to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any default. The failure of the LANDLORD to enforce the Rules and Regulations against the TENANT or any other tenant in the Building will not be deemed a waiver thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by the LANDLORD unless such waiver is in writing signed by the LANDLORD. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. LANDLORD may accept such check or payment without prejudice to LANDLORD's right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy.

 

10.5CUMULATIVE REMEDIES 

The rights granted to the LANDLORD in this Lease are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy which the LANDLORD might have at law or in equity and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not prejudice the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

 

10.6LANDLORDS COSTS 

If the LANDLORD brings any action under this Lease or consults or places this Lease or any amount payable by the TENANT hereunder with an attorney for the enforcement of any of the LANDLORD's rights hereunder, the TENANT agrees in each such case to pay to the LANDLORD the reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by the LANDLORD in connection therewith.
