General
Sanswire Corp. ("Sanswire," "GlobeTel", "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") is focused on the design, construction and marketing of various aerial vehicles most of which would be capable of carrying payloads that provide persistent surveillance and security solutions at various altitudes. The airships and auxiliary products are intended for end users that include military, defense and government-related entities.
From 2002 to 2007, the Company was involved in the following business sectors:
stored value card services; wholesale telecommunications services; voice over
IP; wireless broadband; and high altitude airships. These businesses were run
through various subsidiaries. The Company discontinued operations in all but the
high altitude airship sector.
In 2007, we began focusing exclusively on opportunities through our wholly-owned subsidiary at the time, Sanswire Networks. The opportunities associated with Sanswire Networks were related to the Lighter Than Air (LTA) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market, and we, through the subsidiary, sought to build and run a UAV business that includes low-, mid- and high-altitude, lighter-than-air vehicles intended to provide customers advanced seamless wireless broadband capabilities and surveillance sensor suites.
On September 22, 2008, we effected a name change to Sanswire Corp. in recognition of the entity that contained our sole business focus (See "Recent Developments"). Thus, moving forward, the Company is Sanswire Corp., whose primary business is the design, construction and marketing of a variety of aerial vehicles through a joint venture with TAO Technologies, Stuttgart, Germany, named Sanswire-TAO Corp.
The High Altitude class of prospective airships are generally referred to as HAAs (High Altitude Airships) but have also been called HAPs and HALEs (High Altitude Platforms, High Altitude Long Endurance). They have been designed to be able to keep a station in one location in the Stratosphere, at approximately 65,000 ft for durations of 30 days or more.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the results of operations of the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
REVENUES. The Company had no revenue for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
COST OF SALES. The Company had no cost of sales for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
GROSS MARGIN. The Company had no gross margin for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Our operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related taxes, professional and consulting services, expenses for executive and administrative personnel and insurance, telephone and communications, facilities expenses, travel and related expenses, and other general corporate expenses. Our operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 were $332,084 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2008 which had operating expenses of $897,893 a decrease of $565,809 or 63.0%. The decrease was primarily due to a continued reduction of expenses related to our operations, facilities and workforce during the second half of 2008.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, Sanswire and its subsidiaries incurred payroll tax liability during the normal course of business at each payroll cycle. During 2008 the Company has reported its payroll tax liabilities on a timely basis, however the Company failed to deposit the appropriate withholding amounts. The Company has recognized this issue and contacted the IRS accordingly to make arrangement to pay any taxes due, which is currently estimated to be at least $200,000 including liabilities associated with the Company's subsidiaries that are classified in discontinued operations. The Company may be subject to penalties and interest from the IRS.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS. We had an operating loss of $332,084 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to an operating loss of $897,893 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to decreased operating expenses as described above, including lower operating costs and reductions of our various programs.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). We had net other expenses totaling $117,672 during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to other income of $1,827,799 during the three month period ended March 31, 2008. This variance was due primarily to the non cash charges related to the change in the fair value of derivatives as well as the modifications of our convertible debentures of $1,096,650 in 2008.
Interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was $188,091 compared to $209,536 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. Interest expense increase was primarily due to an increase in non cash charges related to the Company's convertible debentures.
LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. During the three month period ended March 31, 2009 we had no activity related to our discontinued operations compared to a loss of $244 during the three month period ended March 31, 2008. See note 2 in the financial statements for more information regarding the discontinued operations.
NET LOSS. We had a net loss of $449,756 in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2,725,936 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to the decrease in the operating expenses as discussed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
ASSETS. At March 31, 2009, the Company had total assets of $3,338,991 compared to total assets of $3,240,215 as of December 31, 2008.
The current assets at March 31, 2009, were $109,991 compared to $11,215 at December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $103,585 of cash and cash equivalents compared to $4,809 at December 31, 2008.
The Company had $3,229,000 of investments in joint venture as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
LIABILITIES. At March 31, 2009, the Company had total liabilities of $18,923,738 compared to total liabilities of $18,692,369 as of December 31, 2008. The increase of $231,369 was principally due non cash charges associated with the derivative liabilities (see note 2 of the financial statements.) and the increase in convertible notes payable of $140,000 (see note 4 of the financial statements.)
CASH FLOWS. Our cash used in operating activities was $141,224 compared to $226,093 for the comparative period. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased level of operations and operating activities and changes in our current assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $240,000 principally from the execution of new convertible debentures, as compared to $331,139 in the prior year.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $449,756 and a negative cash flow from operations of $141,224 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and had a working capital deficiency of $18,813,747 and a stockholders' deficit of $15,584,747 at March 31, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company anticipates that a net loss will continue for fiscal 2010.
Throughout 2008 and continuing into 2009, the Company has been dependent upon monthly funding from its existing debt holders. Funding decisions have typically not extended beyond thirty days at any given time, and the Company does not currently have a defined funding source. Funding delays and uncertainties have seriously damaged vendor relationships, new product development and revenues. In the absence of continued monthly funding by its current debt holders, the Company would have insufficient funds to continue operations. There is no assurance that additional funding from the current debt holders will be available or available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.
Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company has raised $300,000 from investors; however this is not adequate funding to cover the Company's working capital deficit or the net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 of approximately $449,756.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 we had a net loss of $449,756 compared to a net loss of $2,725,936 during the three month period ended March 31, 2008. Consequently, there is an accumulated deficit of $125,752,339 at March 31, 2009 compared to $125,302,582 at December 31, 2008.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation currently allow for issuance of a maximum of 250,000,000 shares of common stock. As of September 14, 2009, the Company has approximately 226,070,599 shares outstanding, leaving an unissued balance of authorized shares that is not sufficient to service the maximum requirements of all of its convertible securities. In the event we are unable to obtain an increase in our authorized common stock, we will be required to repay the various convertible debentures that we have issued and we will be subject to penalties associated with such failure to deliver shares of common stock upon conversion of the debentures as well as prepayment penalties. In addition, if we are unable to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise of various derivative securities, such holders may commence litigation against the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts and classification of expense, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Accounting for stock options
We believe that it is important for investors to be aware that there is a high degree of subjectivity involved in estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation, that the expenses recorded for stock-based compensation in the Company's financial statements may differ significantly from the actual value (if any) realized by the recipients of the stock awards, and that the expenses recorded for stock-based compensation will not result in cash payments from the Company.
Recent Accounting pronouncements
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159. The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 provides an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities using fair value. The standard establishes required presentation and disclosures to facilitate comparisons with companies that use different measurements for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009 and the Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statement. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009 and the Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009 and the Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments . This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most significant change the FSP brings is a revision to the amount of other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not believe that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly . This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements , when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively. The Company does not believe that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments , to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting , to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not believe that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
