PART I.

Item 1.  Description of Business.

HISTORY

   eTELCHARGE.com, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 7, 1999. Its offices are located at 1636 N. Hampton Road, Suite 270 DeSoto, Texas 75115. The Company has an Internet web site, www.etelcharge.com and its stock symbol is : ETLC.

THE BUSINESS

BACKGROUND
 
   We were organized in June 1999 to provide customers of online merchants with the ability to charge their Internet purchases to their local telephone bill, rather than to a credit card. In May of 2003, the company expanded its service by offering credit card processing for merchants and becoming a merchant service company. This move positioned the company to provide the traditional payment options such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express for merchants and for merchants’ clients to be able to accept those options along with our telephone billing option. While generally, our expected users do not have a credit card or are reluctant to use a credit card online due to security and privacy concerns, this additional service would allow the company to provide the traditional forms of payments and serve as a more complete solution for merchants accepting other non cash forms of payment.

  The testing of our initial version of the telephone billing option enabled eTelcharge to bill transactions through a 900 number billing arrangement with AT&T. Our billing arrangement with AT&T was available to customers throughout the United States, except those western states for which Qwest provided the local service because Qwest did not at the time provide local billing services for any 900 numbers.

  Internet merchants that offered our telephone billing option included our brand icon with the icons of credit card companies on the check out or pay page of their Web site. Customers who choose to charge their purchase to their telephone bill simply clicked on our icon and the billing information was communicated through AT&T to the local telephone service provider, using AT&T's 900 billing system. The charge then appeared on the customer's next monthly telephone bill on a separate page of the bill, with AT&T's logo on the page.

  Although two other companies use similar 900 billing arrangements to allow customers to charge purchases to their telephone bills, these charges are limited to the purchase of services and some online software products. To our knowledge, no other company offers customers the opportunity to charge other goods and merchandise to their telephone bills.

  We are in the development stage and have not generated any material revenue. We began our service online in August 2000 and launched our initial telephone billing option with 19 Internet merchants to offer our local telephone billing service to their customers. We entered into these agreements commencing in the second quarter of 2001. No single merchant agreement is material to our ongoing business operations. We charged these merchants a fee for each transaction ranging from 5% to 8% of the customer purchase which is approximately the same fee AT&T charges us for providing to us its 900 billing arrangement. In addition, we charge the customer a fee of 10% of the product or service purchase price. We did not earn any revenue from our merchants until October 2001 because it took us until that time to complete the integration of our system with that of our online merchants.

  Commencing in January 2003, AT&T will no longer communicated the 900 charge to the local phone companies nor will the local monthly bill include AT&T's logo on the 900 billing page. Consequently, we have selected Billing Concepts, Inc., one of the largest independent third-party billing services, to handle the billing transaction. While AT&T will no longer provide 900 billing in the telephony industry AT&T has assisted in the careful transitioning of eTelcharge's account to Billing Concepts Inc. Furthermore, this change in third-party billing services should not in any way affect transaction procedures of the customer and merchant, as Billing Concepts, Inc. charges similar fees as AT&T. AT&T continued to provide 900 transport of our lines insuring premier AT&T connection with the "Thank you for using AT&T," message linked to our lines until December 31, 2003.

Nonetheless, the change to Billing Concepts will impact the payment schedule to future merchants and participation of the Local Phone company's, While it has added the addition of Qwest to our coverage territory we will be unable to launch the new 1.1 version with the following three Local Phone companies: SBC, Sprint and Citizens. Currently, the billing company has reported approval from the following Local Phone companies: Qwest, Verizon, CBT, BellSouth, Alltel, NECA and Verisign.
 
CURRENT OPERATIONS
 
As we are in the development stage, the initial telephone billing payment option will be retired for software improvement and further enhancements based on customer input; such enhancements shall focus primarily on speed of transaction and confirmation of charge approved to merchant. Once all improvements have been integrated and successfully tested the new 1.1 version of the initial telephone payment option will be launched.

  Our rights to offer AT&T's 900 billing service online were assigned to us by Consumer Data Solutions Corp., which originally entered into a 900 number billing agreement with AT&T in March 1994. CDS has assigned to us its rights under the AT&T agreement until November 2098. We pay a license fee to CDS equal to 3% of the gross fees we receive from online telephone billing charge transactions. CDS is majority owned and controlled by Carl O. Sherman, our Chief Executive Officer and a director. Mr. Sherman founded CDS in 1993 to provide a 900 billing service for pizza and other food delivery businesses. The service allows customers to bill their food deliveries directly to their telephone bill. Mr. Sherman continues to act as the Chief Executive Officer of CDS, although he spends less than 10% of his time on its operations. CDS does not compete with us as we have the exclusive right to use the 900 billing service for online sales
transactions, including online food delivery services. We do not believe any conflicts of interest could develop between CDS and us for these reasons.

  According to a March 30, 2001 Wall Street Journal article, more than 70 million adult Americans do not have credit cards. Moreover, a majority of credit card holders who decline to charge online do so out of security or privacy concerns. Initially, we have targeted Internet merchants who offer CDs, video cassette tapes, computer software, books, flowers and food items to offer our telephone billing option. Following an online purchase by a customer, the charge is included on behalf of the merchant in the customer's next telephone bill. With AT&T Approximately 30 days after an online charge, we receive an advance against the purchase price prior to the customer paying the telephone bill. After deducting our fees, we forward payment directly to our online merchant. If the charge is not paid by the customer for any reason, including a default or refusal to pay due to a dispute, the telephone company will charge back its advance to us. In this event, our merchant and we will not receive the purchase price for the goods or services. Under our agreement with Billing Concepts Inc., Billing Concepts will advance seventy percent (70%) of the amount determined on the first Tuesday after the sixtieth (60th) day from the date Billing Concepts receives billing records from eTelcharge.com; fifty percent (50%) of the remaining balance of the amount determined on the first Tuesday after the ninetieth (90th) day from the date Billing Concepts receives billing records from eTelcharge.com; and the remaining balance of the amounts so determined on the first Tuesday after one hundred twentieth (120th) day from the date Billing Concepts receives eTelcharge.com records. All payments to eTelcharge.com are subject to deductions from all assigned and allocated assessments and taxes charged to the Local Phone Companies.

We intend to establish a reserve of 3% of fees due to us from merchants to cover defaults, refusals to pay, disputes and other charge backs due to customer nonpayment. We will evaluate this reserve on an ongoing basis to reflect our experience.

  The privacy and security of our billing service could be breached by third parties seeking confidential account information such as passwords and financial account information. Such a breach could subject us to liability from customers and merchants and could harm our reputation, thereby inhibiting the use of our billing service. However, since the customer only provides a telephone number, and not charge card information, and since the maximum amount we allow any customer to charge in any month is only $60, we do not believe it likely that third parties will seek to access this information. In order to make any breach of our system more difficult, our system only approves charges that originate from the customer's home computer and verifies the charge through a telephone call that must be generated from the customer's telephone number.

STRATEGY

  Our objective is to integrate our new on line telephone billing option by offering it with established traditional credit card payment options. We will contact online and offline merchants by offering their customers a new billing option which is safe, secure and confidential and which has been previously unavailable to customers who do not have credit cards. In order to achieve our objective we intend to:

·  
Improve our telephone billing software with technical enhancements to speed up the payment confirmation and approval timeframe prior to launching the next version of the telephone billing payment option;
 
·  
Seek to establish a faster payout schedule for merchants who accept the 1.1 version for initiating online charges to telephone bills;
 
·  
Continue to stress the security and privacy advantages of our telephone billing service;
 
·  
Provide responsive customer service to our online merchants through use of an employee assigned to each merchant.

  Although AT&T terminated its billing services for all 900 number merchants in January 2003, requiring us to select another billing service provider, this transition was made easier due to AT&T's involvement in transitioning the account to Billing Concepts Inc.

MARKETING

  Using our marketing staff, including our President, we market to online merchants through direct presentations. We attract online merchants through direct sales calls, referrals from Web design firms, advertisements in trade journals, media reports about our company and word of mouth.

  In the future, we intend to use mass e-mail communications to inform Internet users of our charge payment option and in order to encourage customers to request that our payment option be included on the merchant Web sites on which the customer shops. We also intend to use banner and other online advertisements to market to online virtual shopping mall providers in order to reach online merchants. We will also utilize the assistance of outside marketing and sales organizations, increase our advertising in print and Internet-based trade publications subscribed to by online merchants and may also use television commercials to inform merchants and customers that purchases can be charged to the customers' telephone bill.

  Our marketing efforts stress the simplicity and privacy of using a telephone number and password for online charges rather than using a credit card. We also stress to our online merchants the substantial number of individuals who do not have credit cards. Finally, we include in our sales presentations our commitment to donate $.05 per billing transaction from the telephone billing option up to a maximum of $250,000 per year to KIDCARE, a Houston-based charity benefiting underprivileged children. Our commitment to KIDCARE may be cancelled by us on six months notice.
 
COMPETITION

We expect to compete with the U.S.-based multinational credit card companies as a charge option to customers electing to charge on the merchant's Web site. In soliciting merchants, we are disadvantaged by the fact that we charge the merchant more than a credit card company would for the same transactions and we also charge the merchants' customers a separate charge fee. Payout schedule to merchants for transactions charged via the telephone billing option are also restricted to longer hold periods prior to payout to merchants. Additionally, customer charges are limited to no more than $60 per month. However, we will offer a new charge option to customers of our merchants who do not have credit cards or are reluctant to use credit cards online.

We also expect to compete with two other 900 billing services, eCharge and iBill, all of which are larger than we and offer customers similar opportunities to charge to their telephone bills online, through arrangements with 900 billing services. However, 900 billing charges through these companies are generally limited to services, rather than products, and to some digital goods offered for sale online. We believe we have a competitive advantage in that we will have developed a 900 number application that allows for the purchase of qualified goods offered by our online merchants. Moreover, we believe that our software is more customer friendly than our competitors’ because our customer simply clicks on the eTELCHARGE icon and provides a password and e-mail address. iBill requires the customer to call a 900 number while online to obtain a special pin number to complete the transaction.

There can be no assurance that competitors will not develop software in the future that will allow them to include all merchant offered products and services for online charging. Moreover, many of our competitors are larger, better financed, have been in business longer and have significantly more working capital and more experienced personnel than we.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

We are not directly regulated by any governmental agencies nor are we subject to statutes, rules or regulations which regulate the manner in which we do business. However, our online merchants are subject to numerous governmental regulations required of merchants in general such as truth in advertising requirements, product safety and the like. We do not believe that we would be held liable for violations by our merchants of any such government regulations or with respect to disputes between our merchants and online customers. Nevertheless, we may be named in such proceedings in which case we could be required to expend substantial fees in defending ourselves and could be liable for substantial money judgments.

EMPLOYEES

As of November 1, 2005, we have 5 full-time employees and 21 part-time employees.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

The Company had a net loss of $772,712 for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $1,498,629 compared to a net loss of $2,271,341 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decreased loss primarily resulted decreased non-cash charges associated with the issuance of common stock for services. The Company, as a development company, has generated no material operating revenues as of December 31, 2004.

PLAN OF OPERATION
We were organized in June 1999 and are in the development stage. Investors should note that our auditor's report for the year ended December 31, 2004, included a paragraph which expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect that our revenue will be generated from both online and offline merchants and customers.  We will maintain a billing fee of 5% to 8% of the purchase price of the goods or services charged, not including taxes, and an approximately new transaction fee of $.50 per transaction service charge.  We plan to maintain the same fee of a ten percent (10%) service charge to be added to total charge added to phone bill utilizing our telephone billing option, while limiting purchases to sixty dollars ($60.) per month.  Our cost for phone billing are comprised of Billing Concepts 6% of billed revenue and Local Phone Company charges, which vary from $0.45 cents up to $1.65.  Billing Concepts will earn this fee for providing the bills that the local telephone companies will include in their monthly billing statements to their customers.  Commencing in January 2003, AT&T terminated providing this billing service in the industry, and we have contracted with a private third-party billing service, Billing Concepts, Inc., in place of AT&T. Additional revenue will be generated from our credit card merchant services.  We charge merchants a monthly fee ranging from $29. to $89. per month for leasing our credit card machines, a discount fee ranging from 1.69% to 3% for credit card processing, a transaction fee of twenty five cents ($0.25), a statement fee ranging from $10 to $15 per month.

We intend to establish a reserve of 3% of fees due to us from merchants to cover defaults, refusals to pay, disputes and other charge backs due to customer nonpayment. This reserve is larger than that of our competitors, which averages approximately 2% of such fees according to these competitors. We have not made any independent assessment of the sufficiency of the reserve amount, because we have not yet generated on line billing transactions that create receivables due from merchants. Accordingly, although we believe our reserve will be adequate to over defaults and other charge backs, we cannot give any such assurance. We intend to evaluate this reserve on an ongoing basis to reflect our experience.

Although we have not generated revenue, we have tested our initial phone billing option with 19 Web merchants, all of which have been integrated into our billing system. Previously, it took a number of months to integrate our merchants, as they were required to write some of the computer code necessary to join our system. Recently, however, we began to provide the code ourselves which we believe will significantly shorten the time necessary for merchants to join our billing system. We expect, but cannot assure, that we will add new Web merchants in 2003, most of whom will be signed up through the efforts of our resellers. We currently have three such resellers who are existing Web merchants, authorized agents and a shopping cart software company who are paid a commission of approximately 20% of the revenue generated from new Web merchants referred by them. Our resellers take a three day training course from us, either online or at our corporate offices, before commencing to market our 900 billing services to Web merchants. Our agreements with resellers provide for the 20% commission, a nominal residual fee so long as we retain Web merchants referred by the reseller and are cancelable by either party on 30 days notice to the other.

Commencing with the launch of the 1.1 version telephone billing option, and assuming financing is available, we intend to initiate an online advertising campaign, using mass e-mails to advise online users of our billing service. We also intend to commence at that time an effort to attract resellers through attendance at industry and trade shows and through advertising in trade journals. We are uncertain as to how many resellers we will be able to attract through these efforts.

We also seek to enter into agreements with other online entities, web sites and independent sales and marketing organizations to generate market awareness and usage of our eTELCHARGE icon. We will also continue to promote our brand through the issuance of press releases to related trade publications, general interest media publications, print media and Internet media.

Over the next two years, we intend to make adjustments and improvements in our product software and marketing efforts. In order to identify the areas that need improvement, we anticipate meeting with online retailers who accepted our initial version and online shoppers to conduct online consumer interviews. In the near term, we will expand our efforts to reach online retailers, focusing upon the larger national retailers.  Upon the launch of the 1.1 version, assuming funds are available, we will also demonstrate our billing system at industry affiliated trade shows.

The initiation of our plan of operation is dependent upon our raising sufficient working capital to allow us to institute the plan. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. Due to our lack of capital and our need for working capital to continue our business plan, our auditors issued a going concern qualification as part of their audit opinion of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. We have not generated any revenue since our inception and since inception through the year ended December 31, 2004 we incurred a cumulative net loss of $10,197,603 to date including a net loss of $772,712 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
Our operations have been funded solely through the issuance of our common shares. Total cash proceeds for the issuance of common shares totaled $1,113,247 from inception through December 31, 2004. In order to institute our business plans we must continue to raise capital, as revenue from operations will be insufficient in the short run to meet our working capital needs. However, we cannot assure that any such capital will be available to us. Based upon our current cash resources, we cannot meet our cash requirements or institute our business plan for more than six months unless we raise additional funds from the sale of our securities, as we have done in the past, or unless our revenue grows significantly.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2004. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting management to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings because our reports have not been prepared or submitted on a timely basis we were unable to properly accrue unpaid compensation expenses or properly calculate and record the value of stock issued for services. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

During November 2001, Carl O. Sherman, our Chief Executive Officer, advancedthe Company $38,000 in exchange for a note payable. The note payable is
uncollateralized, requires monthly interest payments at 12.25% and does not have a specific maturity date.

      In November 1999, we entered into a license agreement with Consumer Data Solutions Corp. under which CDS granted us an exclusive license to use its 900 number telephone billing software and assigned us its 900 telephone billing agreement with AT&T, in exchange for a cash payment of $116,500 and a royalty equal to 3% of our net income during the license period which we are obligated to pay to CDS. The license expires November 2098. Carl O. Sherman, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the controlling stockholder, Chief Executive Officer and a director of CDS. We believe that the terms of the license agreement with CDS are fair, reasonable and consistent with terms we could negotiate with unaffiliated third parties. In the future, any transactions with affiliated companies will be approved by a majority of the independent members of our board of directors.

During fiscal years 2003 and 2004 there were no transactions between our company and any officers, directors or other affiliates. Carl O. Sherman who is our CEO and Michelle R. Sherman our CFO are husband and wife.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
eTelcharge.com, Inc. 
(A Development Stage Company)      
 Desoto, Texas

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of eTelcharge.com, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of expenses, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from June 7, 1999 (Inception) through December 31, 2004.  The financial statements for the period June 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2002, were audited by other auditors whose reports expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.  Our opinion on the statements of expenses, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the period June 7, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2004, insofar as it relates to amounts for prior periods through December 31, 2002, is based solely on the reports of other auditors.  These financial statements are the responsibility of eTelcharge.com, Inc.’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of eTelcharge.com, Inc.’s, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods described, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that eTelcharge.com, Inc. will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, eTelcharge.com, Inc. suffered recurring losses and has a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

eTelcharge.COM, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 
NOTE 1 - HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
 

eTelcharge.com, Inc. (“eTelcharge”) was incorporated in Nevada on June 7, 1999. eTelcharge was formed for the purpose of providing an Internet credit option for online shoppers to charge items sold over the Internet to their telephone bill. As of December 31, 2004, eTelcharge has not commenced significant operations. eTelcharge is in the process of raising equity financing to fund future operations and marketing of its product to target customers. As such, eTelcharge is considered to be in the development stage.
 
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

Restatements of 2002 were made.  See note 13 for details.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
eTelcharge considers cash in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated lives of three to five years.  Expenditures that increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

eTelcharge reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  eTelcharge assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value.  There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Proprietary Rights

Proprietary rights consist of certain exclusive rights that allow eTelcharge's customers to charge meals and other consumer oriented goods to proprietary "900" telephone numbers
 
 
F-8

obtained from AT&T. These rights expired in January 2003, and were fully amortized at December 31, 2002. The proprietary rights were being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of three years which was the contractual life of the underlying agreement with AT&T.   See note 12 for details.
 
Income Taxes

eTelcharge accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed periodically for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
Revenue Recognition

eTelcharge recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” Non-refundable, one-time processing fee revenue from online merchants will be recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the online merchant agreement. Billing fee and service charge revenue from online merchants will be recognized as online purchases from customers are processed and will typically range from 5% to 8% of the purchase price, plus $0.15 per transaction and will be non-refundable. Customer fee revenue will be recognized upon shipment by the online merchant to the customer and will typically be 10% of the purchase price and will be refundable should the merchant approve the customer dispute. All funds will be remitted directly to eTelcharge. eTelcharge expects to enter into 2 to 3 year agreements with merchants, with such agreements not containing cancellation clauses. The direct costs of providing these services includes a transaction charge by the carrier of approximately 6% of the purchase price and a usage charge per minute that will be expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

eTelcharge issues stock as compensation to employees and outside consultants for services rendered.  These shares are recorded at the fair value of the stock as measured on the date or dates the services were rendered.

eTelcharge adopted the disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS No. 123) and FAS No. 148 with respect to pro forma disclosure of compensation expense for options issued. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

eTelcharge applies APB No. 25 in accounting for its employee stock option plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in eTelcharge’s financial statements for stock options under any of the stock plans which on the date of grant the exercise price per share was equal to or exceeded the fair value per share. There were no options or warrants granted during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
 
Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares outstanding.  There were no dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

eTelcharge does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on eTelcharge’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
F-9

 
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, eTelcharge incurred recurring net losses of $772,712 and $2,271,341 in fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively, has an accumulated deficit of $10,197,603 and a working capital deficit of $3,136,725.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to eTelcharge’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if eTelcharge is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2004 and 2003:

NOTE 5 - ACCRUED COMPENSATION AND PENDING STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS
 
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, eTelcharge was obligated to issue 48,861,927 and 613,333 shares of common stock valued at $2,648,691 and $187,817, respectively, to several employees and consultants for accrued compensation under various agreements from 2001 to 2004.
 
As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, eTelcharge was obligated to issue 3,967,064 and 25,448,333 shares of common stock for proceeds received of $151,115 and $1,829,217, respectively, from several investors under pending stock subscriptions from 2002 to 2004.
 
NOTE 6 - PAYROLL TAX OBLIGATION

eTelcharge has not remitted a portion of its Federal and State employer and employee payroll taxes for the years 2001 through 2004. eTelcharge has determined this obligation to be the actual amounts of the tax withheld from the employees and the employer portion of the Federal Tax obligation in addition to an estimated 25% penalty and interest accrual. The total obligation associated with these delinquent amounts at December 31, 2004 and 2003 is $129,018 and $118,196, respectively.

NOTE 7 - NOTE PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDER

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, eTelcharge has an unsecured note payable to a shareholder in the amount of $83,381 and $43,404, respectively, with interest only payments due monthly at 12.25% with no specified maturity date.  The shareholder makes advances to eTelcharge on an as needed basis and is periodically repaid portions of the outstanding balance.
 
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

eTelcharge 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. eTelcharge has incurred significant net losses in past years and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $1,390,000 and $1,250,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and will expire in the years 2019 through 2024.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, deferred tax assets consisted of the following:

eTelcharge has a business relationship (affinity program) with a charitable organization that requires eTelcharge to contribute $.05 per revenue generating transaction to the charity up to $250,000 per year.

eTelcharge has several agreements with employees and consultants that require eTelcharge to issue shares of common stock if the agreements are fulfilled by the employees and consultants.  eTelcharge will be required to issue up to 302,085 and 156,665 shares of common stock in 2005 and 2006, respectively, under existing agreements.

eTelcharge is obligated to issue 10,000 shares of common stock to each director each year for director services provided to eTelcharge.  eTelcharge typically has four directors.

In August 2000, eTelcharge entered into a lease for office space.  The lease was for three years with base rent of $1,000 per month and a security deposit of $1,000.  The lease was continued on a month-to-month basis until February 2004 when the lease space was increased and renewed.  The renewal period expires in January 2007 with base rent of $3,675 per month and a security deposit of $1,000.

At December 31, 2004, future minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Under the terms of a stock option agreement effective August 1, 2001, eTelcharge granted options to a consulting firm to purchase 9,200,000 shares of common stock. 6,000,000 options have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and 3,200,000 options have an exercise price of $0.63 per share. The options vested immediately upon approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of eTelcharge's Form SB-2, which occurred in April of 2002.  The options expired in April 2003. eTelcharge estimated the fair value of this option grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions.

NOTE 12 - PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

During 1999, eTelcharge purchased proprietary rights from a related company, Consumer Data Solutions Corp. ("CDS"), which has the same majority shareholder as eTelcharge, for $116,500 payable under a repayment agreement which required monthly payments ranging from $7,500 to $8,500 through January 2001.  The repayment agreement was unsecured and does not bear interest. In addition, the agreement requires eTelcharge to pay CDS for a period of 99 years, 3% of any and all income, less customary and normal business expenses associated with the usage of proprietary rights (which equates to 3% of net income of eTelcharge) beginning January 1, 2001.

As these rights were purchased from a related entity, the asset was recorded by eTelcharge at the book value of CDS. Accordingly, the asset was recorded at $63,000 with the difference between the recorded cost and the payable to related party being reflected as a debit to additional paid-in capital. Amounts payable to CDS totaled $0 at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

NOTE 13 - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

eTelcharge has issued 61,682,020 shares of common stock during 2005. Of this amount 48,343,596 shares were issued for prior year services for a previously accrued total of $2,574,374.
