Item 1.  Description of Business

Background

          The Company was incorporated under the laws of Utah on February 28, 1983 under the name Tinglefoot Mining, Inc. for the purpose of developing certain mining operations.  The Company was unsuccessful in its attempts to acquire the Tinglefoot Mine, was unable to establish an alternative business operation and remained dormant until 1994, when a new management team took office and changed the purpose of the Company’s business to pursue investment opportunities in Mexico in 1995.

          On December 20, 1995, the Company changed its name to Mexico Investment Corporation and effected a reverse split of its common stock on a 1 for 40 basis.  On February 26, 1996, the Company changed its name to Baja Pacific International, Inc.

          On April 30, 1998, the Company’s shareholders approved the following: (1) the execution of an exclusive agreement with Tri-National Development Corp., a Wyoming corporation headquartered in San Diego, California ("Tri-National") to service all of their telecommunication needs at Tri-National’s Hills of Bajamar resort; (2) the acquisition of a 5% stake in Future Tel Communications, a Vancouver, British Columbia telecommunications company in exchange for 200,000 common shares; and (3) a change in the Company’s name to Taig Ventures, Inc. and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended on October 7, 1998.  These actions were taken in furtherance of the Company’s intentions to work with Tri-National to provide a massive upgrade of its existing telecommunication facilities and the Company believed that a new management team would be better suited to execute this new business model as well as pursue other telecommunications projects.

          In November 2000, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "California Reorganization") with Viper Networks, Inc., a California corporation ("Viper-CA").  Viper-CA was formed on September 14, 2000. Under the terms of the California Reorganization, the Company exchanged 36,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for all of the then-outstanding common shares of Viper-CA and Viper-CA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Viper-CA’s business was that of an application service provider.  The Company then changed its name to Viper Networks, Inc. and the Company effected a complete change of the Company and its Board of Directors and officers to position the Company to execute a new business strategy as described below.

          In August 2003, the Company acquired Coliance Communications (“Coliance”) in exchange for the Company’s issuance of an aggregate of 17,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 450,000 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock. All of the Preferred Stock was later converted into notes payable. As a result of this acquisition, Ronald G. Weaver and Stephen D. Young from Coliance became Directors of the Company. 

          On October 15, 2003, the Company entered into a Securities Merger Agreement (the “Mid-Atlantic Agreement”) with Farid Shouekani in connection with the purchase of all the common stock (the “Mid-Atlantic Shares”) of Mid-Atlantic International, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Mid-Atlantic”) from Farid Shouekani.  Under the terms of the Mid-Atlantic Agreement, the Company acquired all of Mr. Shouekani’s Mid-Atlantic Shares in exchange for: (1) $50,000 cash within 21 days of Closing; and (2) an aggregate of 7,235,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with 4,235,000 of these shares (the “Special Shares”) subject to certain redemption rights (the “Redemption Rights”), at the option of Mr. Shouekani at a redemption price of $0.17 per Special Share as provided by the Mid-Atlantic Agreement. All of the Redemption Rights expire on January 15, 2003 and are secured by Mid-Atlantic’s assets.  As of December 31, 2003, Mr. Shouekani did not exercise his Redemption Rights over the Special Shares. Any Special Shares that have not been redeemed, the Company is obligatedto reacquire at a price of $0.17 per share on or before January 15, 2004.  Mr. Shouekani also became a Director of the Company.

          With these changes, the Company re-focused its attention on providing Internet telephony services, the development of an infrastructure for providing services to its Web-based customers (the "Graphic User Interface") and, eventually, the construction of Voice-over-Internet Protocol ("VoIP") network for business, institutions, and Internet Service Providers ("ISPs").  The Company’s management team and Board of Directors determined that the goals for use of the Mexico property purchased from Tri-National and construction of telecommunications facilities to the Hills of Bajamar are not within the Company’s current capabilities.  (As used herein and unless otherwise stated, the term "Company,” "we, “and "our, " refers to the Company, Mid-Atlantic, Adoria, and Viper-CA, all subsidiaries.)

Business of the Company

          We are a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, communications products and services. Since we began VoIP operations in 2000, we have evolved from a pioneer in selling VIPER CONNECT, a “push to talk” technology developed by ITXC, to a next generation provider of high-quality telecommunication services and technology for internet protocol, or IP telephony applications. We utilize our VoIP technology to transmit digital voice communications over data networks and the Internet.

- 6 -


          We branded and shipped our first VoIP product, our flagship, vPhone, in June of 2003, and acquired our first global VoIP network with gateways and a billing server in Detroit, Michigan in October of 2003, through our acquisition of Mid-Atlantic International, Inc. Our gateways are located in Egypt, Ghana, India, Israel, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Syria, and the United Kingdom.

          In fiscal 2003 substantially all of the Company's revenues were generated from the sale and provisioning of VoIP products, services and technology with approximately 95% of our sales revenues derived from the sale of services and 5% from the sale of products as described in the section entitled, “Products and Services” below.  We do not own or hold any proprietary or intellectual property rights to the technology used in the vPhone product.

          Our corporate structure is primarily organized around two wholly owned operating subsidiaries:

          Mid-Atlantic International, Inc., which we acquired on October 15, 2003, sells wholesale minutes on our VoIP network to other telecommunications providers through our internal sales force. We have de-emphasized our traditional carrier services, and to that end, we have attempted to limit our activity to selected carriers, particularly those with which we have bilateral carrier agreements.

          Viper Networks, Inc., which we acquired in November 2000, offers an alternative to traditional telephone companies through its flagship product, the “vPhone”. The vPhone allows voice telephone calls to be placed to any phone number in the world at a substantial savings.  As of December 31, 2003, we had approximately 1,000 active accounts using our vPhone.

Industry Background

          Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology converts voice (telephone calls) into data packets, transmits the packets over data networks, and reconverts them back into voice at its final destination. Data networks, such as the Internet have always utilized data packet technology to transmit information between two communicating devices (such as sending an email between two computers). The most common protocol used for communicating on these packet switched networks is internet protocol, or IP. VoIP allows for the transmission of voice along with other data over these same packet switched networks, and provides an alternative to traditional telephone networks.

- 7 -


          VoIP is an alternative technology that can replace services provided by the traditional telephone network. Unlike traditional telephone networks, VoIP does not use dedicated circuits for each telephone call; instead, the same VoIP network can be shared by multiple users for voice, data and video simultaneously. This type of data network is more efficient than a dedicated circuit network because the data network is not restricted by the one-call, one-line limitation of a traditional telephone network. This improved efficiency creates cost savings that can be passed on to the consumer in the form of lower rates or retained by the VoIP provider.

          As a result of the potential cost savings and added features of VoIP many view VoIP as the future of telecommunications. VoIP has experienced significant growth in recent years. The traditional telephone networks maintained by many local and long distance telephone companies were designed solely to carry low-fidelity audio signals with a high level of reliability. Although these traditional telephone networks are very reliable for voice communications, these networks are not well suited to service the explosive growth of digital communication applications.

          Until recently, traditional telephone companies have avoided the use of packet switched networks for transmitting voice calls due to the potential for poor sound quality attributable to latency issues (delays) and lost packets which can prevent real-time transmission. Recent improvements in packet switch technology, compression and broadband access technologies, as well as improved hardware and provisioning techniques, have significantly improved the quality and usability of packet-switched voice calls.

          The exponential growth of the Internet in recent years has proven the scalability (or ease of expansion) of these underlying packet switched networks. As broadband connectivity, including cable modem and digital subscriber line, or DSL, has become more available and less expensive, it is now possible for service providers like us to offer voice and video services that run over these IP networks to businesses and consumers. Providing such services has the potential to both substantially lower the cost of telephone service and equipment costs to these customers and to increase the breadth of features available to the end-user.  We anticipate that if present technology and cost factor trends continue, these cost savings will continue and become more apparent to telecommunications users worldwide. 

Our Strategy

          Our strategy is to become a profitable, leading provider of VoIP telephony products and services worldwide. Our current network consists of gateways in major population centers from which we currently serve 40 markets on a consistent basis.  Our goal, if we are able to expand our VoIP network and successfully implement our strategy, is to serve 108 major population markets worldwide.  We also seek to expand our relationships with other providers who can “partner” with us and, if our financial resources allow, to acquire other companies that possess complimentary resources that fit within our overall strategy.

- 8 -



          If we are successful in obtaining sufficient additional financial and managerial resources, we intend to implement our Strategy to bring the best possible voice products and services, at an affordable price, to consumers and businesses and enhance the ways in which these customers communicate.  The following are key elements of our strategy:

Capitalize on the Growth of VoIP Products and Services.  We believe that if we can implement our Strategy, we will be well positioned to take advantage of the expected growth of the VoIP products and services markets. Technology research firm JupiterResearch predicts that VoIP telephony services will grow to about 400,000 U.S. households by the end of 2004, and to 12.1 million U.S. households by 2009.

Capitalize on our technological expertise to introduce new products and features.  Over the past three years, we have developed or acquired several core technologies that form the backbone of our VoIP service and which we intend to use to develop product enhancements and future products. 

Offer the best possible service and support to our customers with a world class customer support organization.  If we can implement our Strategy, we seek to make significant upgrades to our existing system infrastructure to enhance the support we can provide to new and existing subscribers, as well as our distribution partners. In an emerging industry with world-changing technologies, we are focused on our customers and their experience with Viper Networks, Inc.

Develop additional distribution channels.  We have established relationships with several resellers and distributors of telecommunications products. To further accelerate growth of our vPhone and future consumer and enterprise offerings, we intend to build upon our existing relationships and establish new relationships with distributors, value added resellers and system integrators, other service providers and retailers with strong local sales and marketing channels to make our products more readily available and accessible to potential customers of our service.

Focus Viper Networks on Opportunities in Emerging Markets and New Service Offerings.  Viper Networks’ Mid-Atlantic International, Inc., targets international markets undergoing telecommunications deregulation, which we believe will provide high margin opportunities. As our financial resources allow, we seek to continue to enhance and expand our global VoIP network by expanding into new markets by expansion, acquisition and strategic alliances. Our plan is to develop, expand and integrate new services into our existing managed platform.

          Our ability to implement our Strategy, as described above, is subject to our ability to raise sufficient additional capital, attract and retain additional managerial talents, and meet the many competitive and technological challenges that face us as a small company. Further, while we believe that our technical expertise in integrating VoIP functions and technologies provides us with certain advantages over traditional telecommunications companies, the barriers to entry into the VoIP industry are not high and many of the risks that we face are beyond our control. (See “Factors That May Affect Future Results,” in Item 1a below.)

Our Solution

          We are currently a provider of high quality cost effective Voice over the Internet solutions for consumer and business users. Our secure, reliable method of communication is growing in demand in the global economy where distance is not an obstacle but communications cost are.  Low rates, reliable, high quality connection are the three factors fuel the efficiency of the global enterprise and the success of our day-to-day business.

          We believe our products and services help improve the cost, quality, availability, and reliability, of communications. Our “vPhone” delivers to our customer’s rich robust communications and applications through our planned global VoIP network, which automatically locates remote servers at the closest point to the end user thereby eliminating the high cost of long distance connectivity. Our current network consists of gateways in major population centers.  Using VoIP we can terminate (or send) our customers' calls using the most efficient route available.

Products and Services

We have de-emphasized our traditional carrier services, and to that end, we have attempted to limit our activity to selected carriers, particularly those with which we have bilateral carrier agreements.

- 10 -



Sales, Marketing and Promotional Activities

          We currently sell and market our vPhone to end users through our direct sales force, web site and third party resellers.  Viper Networks products and services are offered to these third parties through reseller agreements.  These agreements typically provide a 20% to 40% in discounted pricing (from approximate retail pricing levels) for both product purchases and minutes with a one year term and an option to renew the term for an additional one year period.  All agreements require the customer to pre-pay for all products and services. To date, we have not incurred significant advertising and promotional expenses as we have not had the working capital to fund significant mass media advertising expenditures.

          We offer individuals and businesses the opportunity to become resellers of our products and services through our distributor and reseller programs. Resellers are able to purchase bulk accounts and hardware at reseller specific rates and prices that they are then able to resell these accounts to private individuals under the Viper Networks brand.  In certain circumstances, resellers are able to purchase bulk accounts and hardware at reseller specific rates and prices that they are then able to resell these accounts to private individuals under a private brand.  We have not found that the resellers have had any impact on our marketing and selling efforts since they allow us to resell unsold minutes.

Competition

          We face several competitors who each possess significantly greater financial and managerial resources. These competitors include, iConnectHere, Net2Phone, Vonage and Packet8 as well as incumbent telephone carriers, and other providers of traditional telephone service.

          The market for telecommunications services is intensely competitive.  In addition to the competitors listed above, many companies offer products and services like ours and many have a well established presence in major metropolitan centers.  They also have substantially greater financial, distribution, and marketing resources than we do.  We may not be able to compete successfully with these companies and others that may enter the market. If we do not succeed in this competitive marketplace, we will lose customers and our revenue will be substantially reduced and our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

          The market for enhanced Internet and IP communications services is new and rapidly evolving.  We believe that the primary competitive factors determining success in the Internet and IP communications market are quality of service, the ability to meet and anticipate customer needs through multiple service offerings, responsive customer care services and price. Future competition could come from a variety of companies both in the Internet and telecommunications industries.  These industries include major companies who have greater resources and large subscriber bases than we have. We also compete in the growing market of discount telecommunications services including calling cards, prepaid cards, call-back services, dial-around or 10-10 calling and collect calling services.  In addition, some Internet service providers have begun to aggressively enhance their real-time interactive communications, focusing initially on instant messaging, although we expect them to begin to provide PC-to-phone services.

- 11 -



          We anticipate that as markets develop and technology and commercial acceptance of our products and services evolve, other new and likely larger competitors may offer products and services similar to those we offer. In this event we may be facing significant and continuing challenges in implementing our strategy. This may force us to change or alter our strategy or otherwise undertake new and unforeseen actions. 

          However, we face substantial competition from a number of larger companies with substantially greater resources and longer operating histories and we may not be able to compete effectively.  We also face competition from private and start-up companies given the limited barriers to entry in our business.

          While we may experience indirect competition from companies such as Vocaltec, Cisco Systems, Inc. and Net2Phone, which manufacture or market products similar to ours and may offer services similar to us, currently these companies typically only provide their services to companies like ours to sell and market them.  As a result, these companies are also potential competitors.

          Traditional telecommunications companies, such as AT&T, Sprint, MCI WorldCom and Qwest Communications International, may offer enhanced Internet and IP communications services in both the United States and internationally.  All of these competitors are significantly larger than we are and have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources, larger networks, a broader portfolio of services, stronger name recognition and customer loyalty, well-established relationships with target customers, and an existing user base to which they can cross-sell their services.  These and other competitors may be able to bundle services and products that are not offered by us together with enhanced Internet and IP communications services, which could place us at a significant competitive disadvantage.  Many of these types of competitors enjoy economies of scale that can result in lower costs structure for transmission and related costs, which could cause significant pricing pressures within the industry.

Operations

          Key elements of our system include: provisioning, customer access, network security, call routing, call monitoring, call reliability and detailed call records. Our platform monitors our process of digitizing and compressing voice into packets and transmitting these packets over data networks around the world and if additional bandwidth is required, we will expand bandwidth to meet demand.

          We maintain a system which is a software-based product that manages call admission, call control and routes calls to an appropriate endpoint. Unless the recipient is using an Internet telephony device, the packetsare sent to a gateway belonging Viper Networks or to one of our partner telecommunications carriers where the packets are reassembled and the call is transferred to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and directed to a regular telephone anywhere in the

- 12 -



world. Our billing and back office systems manage and enroll customers and bill calls as they originate and terminate on the service.  If sufficient additional financial resources are available, we may look to acquire additional gateways in Beijing, Hong Kong, Osaka, Philippines, Seoul, Singapore, and Thailand as market conditions and suitable opportunities arise.

Research and Development

          The VoIP market is characterized by rapid technological changes and advances. Accordingly, if sufficient financial resources become available, we plan to make substantial investments in the design and development of new products and services and enhancements and features to existing products and services as well as investments in our global VoIP network. Our current and future research and development efforts relate to our vPhone and the acquisition and development of new endpoints for subscribers of our service. The development of new products and the expansion of our global VoIP network are essential to our success.

          To date, we have not incurred significant research and development expenses as we have not had the working capital to fund significant development expenditures.

Suppliers

          We outsource the manufacturing of our vPhone to third-party manufacturers. While we believe that relations with our suppliers are good, there can be no assurance that our suppliers will be able or willing to supply products and services to us in the future or if they are supplied, that they will offer these products and services at prices that allow us to resell them at a profit. While we believe that we could replace our suppliers if necessary, our ability to provide service to our subscribers would be materially and adversely impacted for a protracted period, and this could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Industry Overview

          Historically, the communications services industry has transmitted voice and data over separate networks using different technologies.  Traditional carriers have typically built telephone networks based on circuit switching technology, which establishes and maintains a dedicated path for each telephone call until the call is terminated.  With a circuit-switched system a telephone call is placed, a circuit is established, and the circuit remains dedicated for transmission of the call and is unavailable to transmit any other call.  This restricted use of transmission capacity has become inefficient in light of the increased demand for voice services and the proliferation of data networks, with their enhanced functionality and efficiency.

          Data networks have typically been built utilizing packet switching technology, such as IP, which divides signal into packets that are simultaneously routed over different channels to a final destination where they are reassembled in the original order in which they were transmitted.  Packet

- 13 -



switching provides for more efficient use of the capacity in the network because the network does not establish dedicated circuits and does not require a fixed amount of bandwidth to be reserved for each transmission.  As a result, substantially greater traffic can be transmitted over a packet-switched network, such as the Internet, than a circuit-switched network.

          Early packet-switched networks suffered from poor sound quality attributable to delays and lost packets.  However, recent improvements in packet switching, compression broadband access technologies, hardware and the use of privately-managed networks have allowed for quality, real-time transmission.  As a result, packet switching technology now allows service providers to converge their traditional voice and data networks and to carry voice, fax and data traffic over the same network. These improved efficiencies of packet-switching technology create network cost savings that can be passed on to the consumer in the form of lower long distance rates.  In addition, international telephone calls carried over the Internet or private IP networks are less expensive than similar calls carried over circuit-switched networks primarily because they bypass the international settlement process, which represents a significant portion of international long distance tariffs.

          Over the last decade, the volume of traffic on data networks has grown at a faster rate than traditional telephone networks. This growth has been driven by several factors, including technological innovation, high penetration of personal computers and, in particular, by the rapid expansion of the Internet as a global medium for communications, information and commerce. This increase in data traffic has necessitated additional data network capacity and quality.  As a result, businesses have invested billions of dollars in order to meet this need.

          We believe that the combination of increasing demand for voice services and the proliferation of data networks, with their enhanced functionality and efficiency, is driving the convergence of voice traffic and data networks, including the Internet.  We expect this transfer of traffic to accelerate as corporation and network infrastructure providers attach increasing value to data networks and as the functionality of computers and computing devices, such as personal digital assistants, is enhanced by voice capability.

Voice on Data Networks

          Voice on the Internet or voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) consists of both traditional and enhanced voice and fax services between ordinary phones and the addition of interactive voice capability to computers, web sites and e-mail.  Voice on the Internet serves both the extensive market of existing phone users and the expanding market of computer users.  We believe data networks provide lower cost than the traditional telephone network and are better suited to deliver future enhanced services to both phone users and computer users.  Moreover, the Internet is the most cost-effective data network for transmitting any type of data worldwide, including voice.

          Telephony based on Internet protocols emerged in 1995, with the invention of a personal computer program that allowed the transport of voice communications over the Internet via a

microphone connected to a personal computer.  Initial sound quality was poor and the service required that both parties to the conversation use personal computers instead of telephone.  In 1996, the advent of the gateway for the first time offered anyone with access to a telephone the ability to complete calls on the Internet.  A gateway is a device that transfers calls from the traditional telephone network to a network such as the Internet, and vice versa.

          Despite advances in VoIP technology, Voice over the Internet has only recently improved to the point of allowing quality, real-time voice communications.  We believe that, overall, the VoIP marketplace is still in its infancy.  Most enterprise customers and consumers still rely on traditional, circuit-switched telephone services.  In our opinion, the full advantages of VoIP will not be realized for another two to five years, giving companies like Viper Networks an opportunity to make an early entrance into the market.

The Economics of Internet Telephony

          Long distance telephone calls transported over the Internet are less expensive than similar calls carried over the traditional telephone network primarily because the cost of using the Internet is not determined by the distance those calls need to travel.  Also, routing calls over the Internet is more cost-effective than routing calls over the traditional telephone network because the technology that enables Internet telephony is more efficient than traditional telephone network technology. The great efficiency of the Internet creates cost savings that can be passed on to the consumer in the form of lower long distance rates or retained by the carrier as higher margins.

          Beyond cost benefits, innovation in the provision of enhanced services is expected to yield increased functionality as well. We believe such enhanced functionality will expand the addressable market for Internet services to include anyone with a telephone, and that this market is potentially larger than the market for any other existing Internet service which requires a computer for access. Moreover, computer users will benefit from interactive voice being an option in web browsing and other computer-based communications.

Limitations of Existing Internet Telephony Solutions

          The growth of voice on the Internet has been limited in the past due to poor sound quality caused by technical issues such as delays in packet transmission and bandwidth limitations related to Internet network capacity and local access constraints. However, the continuing addition of data network infrastructure, recent improvements in packet-switching and compression technology, new software algorithms and improved hardware have substantially reduced delays in packet transmissions and the effect of these delays. Based on these improvements, International Data Corporation projects that Internet protocol telephony revenue will grow rapidly to over $23.4 billion in 2003.

- 15 -



          Several large long distance carriers, including AT&T and Sprint, have announced Internet telephony service offerings.  Smaller Internet telephone service providers have also begun to offer low-cost Internet telephony services from personal computers to telephones and from telephones to telephones. Traditional carriers have substantial investments in traditional telephone network technology, and therefore have been slow to embrace Internet technology.  We believe that these service offerings by large long distance carriers and smaller providers are generally available in limited geographic areas and can only complete calls to a limited number of locations.

          In recent years, commercial web sites have grown in popularity.  Efforts to enhance these web sites with voice enabled e-commerce features such as click-and-call contact with a customer service agent have been hampered by the early quality problems with voice on the Internet described above.  In addition, we believe that the infrastructure required for a global network is too expensive for most companies to deploy on their own.

Increasing Trends Toward Outsourcing Telephony Solutions

          We believe that the global reach and functionality of the Internet makes it especially suited for enhanced voice services.  These services, which may include web-to-phone, phone-to-PC and unified messaging, could be a significant source of additional revenues to Internet portals, Internet service providers and web sites that are seeking to expand their service offerings.  Such voice services require considerable expertise and capital to deploy and may involve execution risk for any Internet portal, Internet service provider or web site lacking this expertise.  We expect that Internet portals, Internet service providers and web sites will increasingly outsource their communications services to companies, like us, that provide the network and expertise necessary to facilitate those services rather than incurring the risk and delay of developing and deploying an array of communications services themselves and undertaking the task of building a global network.

Government Regulation

          The use of the Internet and private IP networks to provide telephone service is a recent market development.  While we believe that the provision of voice communications services over the Internet and private IP networks is currently permitted under United States law, some foreign countries have laws or regulations that may prohibit voice communications over the Internet.

          United States.  We believe that, under U.S. law, the Internet-related services that the Company provides constitute information services as opposed to regulated telecommunications services, and, as such, are not currently actively regulated by the FCC or any state agencies charged with regulating telecommunications carriers.  Nevertheless, aspects of our operations may be subject to state or federal regulation, including regulation-governing universal service funding, disclosure of confidential communications and excise tax issues.  We cannot provide assurances that Internet-related services will not be actively regulated in the future.  Several efforts have been made in the U.S. to enact federal legislation that would either regulate or exempt from regulation services provided over the Internet.  Increased regulation of the Internet may slow its growth, particularly if

- 16 -



other countries also impose regulations.  Such regulation may negatively impact the cost of doing business over the Internet and materially adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and future prospects.

          The FCC has considered whether to impose surcharges or other common carrier regulations upon certain providers of Internet telephony, primarily those which, unlike the Company, provide Internet telephony services directly to end users. While the FCC has presently refrained from such regulation, the regulatory classification of Internet telephony remains unresolved.

          Specifically, the FCC has expressed an intention to further examine the question of whether certain forms of phone-to-phone Internet telephony are information services or telecommunications services. The two are treated differently in several respects, with certain information services being regulated to a lesser degree.

          The FCC has noted that certain forms of phone-to-phone Internet telephone bear many of the same characteristics as more traditional voice telecommunications services and lack the characteristics that would render them information services.

          If the FCC were to determine that certain Internet-related services including Internet telephony services are subject to FCC regulations as telecommunications services, the FCC could subject providers of such services to traditional common carrier regulation, including requirements to make universal service contributions, and pay access charges to local telephone companies.  It is also possible that the FCC may adopt a regulatory framework other than traditional common carrier regulation that would apply to Internet telephony providers.  Any such determinations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and future prospects to the extent that any such determinations negatively affect the cost of doing business over the Internet or otherwise slow the growth of the Internet.  Congressional dissatisfaction with FCC conclusion could result in requirements that the FCC impose greater or lesser regulation, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and future prospects.

          State regulatory authorities may also retain jurisdiction to regulate certain aspects of the provision of intrastate Internet telephony services.  Several state regulatory authorities have initiated proceedings to examine the regulation of such services.  Others could initiate proceedings to do so.

          International The regulatory treatment of Internet telephony outside of the U.S. varies widely from country to country and is subject to constant change.  Until recently, most countries either did not have regulations addressing Internet telephony or other VoIP services, classifying these services as unregulated enhanced services.  As the Internet telephony market has grown and matured, increasing numbers of regulators have begun to reconsider whether to regulate VoIP services.  Some countries currently impose little or no regulation on these services, as in the United States.  Conversely, other countries that prohibit or limit competition for traditional voice telephony services generally do not permit Internet telephony or VoIP services or strictly limit the terms under which it

- 17 -



may be provided.  Still other countries regulate Internet telephony and VoIP services like traditional voice telephony services, requiring Internet telephony companies to make universal service contributions and pay other taxes.  Countries may also determine on a case-by-case basis whether to regulate Internet telephony and VoIP services as voice services, as enhanced services or as another service. The varying and constantly changing regulation of Internet telephony and VoIP in the countries in which we currently provide or may provide services may materially adversely affect our business financial condition and results of operations.

          The European Commission regulatory regime, for example, distinguishes between voice telephony services and other telecommunications services. The European Commission stated that only phone-to-phone communications reasonably could be considered voice telephony and that, at present, even phone-to-phone Internet telephony does not meet all elements of its voice telephone definition. Therefore, the European Commission concluded that, at the present time, voice over Internet services cannot be classified as voice telephony.  More recently, in September 2000, after requesting comments from interested parties the European Commission issued a subsequent communication in which it reaffirmed that Internet telephony is not currently voice telephony.

          As a result of the European Commission’s conclusion, providers of Internet telephony should be subjected to no more than a general authorization or declaration requirement by European Union member countries.  However, Viper cannot provide assurances that more stringent regulatory requirements will not be imposed by individual member countries of the European Union, since Commission communications, unlike directives, are not binding on the member states.  The member countries therefore are not obligated to reach the same conclusions as the Commission on this subject so long as they adhere to the definition of voice telephony in the Services Directive.  Moreover, in its January 1998 IP Telephony Communication, the European Commission state that providers of Internet telephony whose services satisfy all elements of the voice telephony definition and whose users can dial out to any telephone number can be considered providers of voice telephony and may be regulated as such by the member states of the European Union.

          We will also be providing services in countries where the regulation of Internet telephony is more restrictive than in the United States or the European Union.  In some of those countries, we may be forced to find strategic partners within those countries to help us obtain regulatory approval.  Changes in the regulatory regimes of countries where we do business, then may have the effect of limiting or prohibiting Internet telephony services, to one or more countries in which we currently operate or seek to operate in the future.

          Also, in the event we expand into additional foreign countries, such countries may assert that we are required to qualify to do business in the particular foreign country, that we are otherwise subject to regulation, or that we are prohibited from conducting our business in that country.  Our failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction in which we are required to do so, or to comply with foreign laws and regulations, would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations by subjecting us to taxes and penalties and/or by precluding us

- 18 -



from, or limiting us in, enforcing contracts in such jurisdictions.  Likewise, our customers and partners may be or become subject to requirements to qualify to do business in a particular foreign country, otherwise to comply with regulations, or to cease from conducting business in that country. We cannot be certain that our customers and partners are currently in compliance with regulatory or other legal requirements in their respective countries, that they will be able to comply with existing or future requirements, and/or that they will continue in compliance with any requirements.  The failure of our customers and partners to comply with these requirements could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

          Finally, the International Telecommunications Union, or the ITU, an international treaty organization that deals with telecommunications matters, has not taken any action in favor or against Internet telephony.  In 2000, however, the ITU convened meetings and published reports on the Internet and Internet telephony issues, partly in response to concerns from some developing countries over Internet Telephony and tariffing of international Internet backbone traffic.  The ITU will hold additional meetings and will issue additional reports on Internet telephony during 2001 that may encourage some countries to increase or reduce their regulation of Internet telephony.  In particular, an ITU study group is examining how international Internet backbone providers compensate each other for traffic.  These efforts, which may take several years to be completed and which are currently opposed by the United States and some European countries, may eventually result in changes in national or international regulations dealing with financial compensation for international Internet traffic which could affect certain of our costs.

Certain Other Regulations Affecting the Internet

          United States.  Congress has recently adopted legislation that regulates certain aspects of the Internet, including online content, user privacy and taxation.  In addition, Congress and other federal entities are considering other legislative and regulatory proposals that would further regulate the Internet.  Congress has, for example, considered legislation on a wide range of issues including Internet spamming, database privacy, gambling, pornography and child protection, Internet fraud, privacy and digital signatures.  Various states have adopted and are considering Internet-related legislation.  Increased U.S. regulation of the Internet may slow its growth, particularly if other governments follow suit, which may negatively impact the cost of doing business over the Internet and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

          International.  The European Union has also enacted several directives relating to the Internet.  The European Union has, for example, adopted a directive that imposes restrictions on the collection and use of personal data.  Under the directive, citizens of the European Union are guaranteed rights to access their data, rights to know where the data originated, rights to have inaccurate data rectified, rights to recourse in the event of unlawful processing and rights to withhold permission to use their data for direct marketing.  The directive could, among other things, affect U.S. companies that collect or transmit information over the Internet from individuals in European Union member states,

- 19 -



and will impose restrictions that are more stringent than current Internet privacy standards in the U.S.  In particular, companies with offices located in European Union countries will not be allowed to send personal information to countries that do not maintain adequate standards of privacy.

          Although Viper does not engage in the collection of data for purposes other than routing its services and billing for its services, the directive is quite broad and the European Union privacy standards are stringent.  Accordingly, the potential effect on the development of Viper in this area is uncertain.

          As of December 31, 2003, we had 6 full time employees and numerous other part time employees and independent contactors.

Item 1a.  Factors that May Affect Future Results

          The Company’s business organization, the Company’s reliance upon certain technology and third parties, competitive trends in the marketplace, and other factors all involve elements of substantial risk. In many instances, these risks arise from factors over which the Company will have little or no control.  Some adverse events may be more likely than others and the consequence of some adverse events may be greater than others.  No attempt has been made to rank risks in the order of their likelihood or potential harm.  In addition to those general risks enumerated elsewhere, any purchaser of the Company's Common Stock should also consider the following factors.

1.  Continued Operating Losses & Early-Stage Company.  The Company has incurred $2,200,854 in losses during the twelve months ending December 31, 2003 and cumulative losses of $3,160,751 since the Company’s inception through December 31, 2003. The Company is an early-stage company and may well incur significant additional losses in the future as well and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful or that it will be profitable in the future.

2.  Current Financial Structure, Limited Equity, Limited Working Capital & Need for Additional Financing.  While the Company’s management believes that its financial policies have been prudent, the Company has relied, in large part, upon the use of common stock financing to provide a substantial portion of the Company’s financial needs. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise significant additional capital to implement is business plan. While the Company believes that it will be successful, the Company has had only limited discussions with potential investors and there can be no guarantee that the Company will receive additional capital from any investors or, if it does receive sufficient additional capital, that it can obtain additional capital on terms that are reasonable in light of the Company’s current circumstances. Further, the Company has not received any commitments or assurances from any underwriter, investment banker, venture capital fund, or other individual or institutional investor.

3.  Auditor's Opinion: Going Concern.  The Company’s independent auditors, Armando C. Ibarra, CPA, P.C., have expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going

- 20 -



concern since the Company is an early-stage company and there exists only a limited history of operations.

4.  Subordinate to Existing and Future Debt & Authorized But Unissued Preferred Stock.  All of the Common Stock is subordinate to the claims of the Company's existing and future creditors and the holders of the Company's existing preferred stock and any that may be issued in the future.

5.  Dependence & Reliance Upon Others Some of our products and services may rely upon hardware, software, and communications systems provided by others. For this reason we may become dependent upon third parties which may materially and adversely affect our ability to offer distinct products and services which may result in adverse pricing pressures on our products with resulting adverse impact on our profits, if any.

6.  Recent Acquisitions, Limited History of Operations.  During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, we generated $433,376 in sales revenues, primarily through our acquisition of Coliance and Mid-Atlantic in 2003. We will need to further increase our revenues and successfully develop and implement our business strategy in an ever-changing and challenging marketplace if we are to succeed. In the event that we are not able to successfully develop and implement our business strategy, we may be subject to continuing significant risks and resulting financial volatility. Our limited history and the continuing technological and competitive challenges that we face are beyond our ability to control.  For these and other reasons we may incur continuing and protracted losses with the result that an investor may lose all or substantially all of their investment.

7.  Price Competition on Certain Services.  The products and services that we intend to offer may, through changing technology and cost structures, become commodities which result in intense price competition. While we believe that we will be able to distinguish our products and services from competing products, services, and technologies offered by others, if we fail to distinguish ourselves from others, this could hinder market acceptance of our services, force reductions in contemplated sales prices for our products and services, and reduce our overall sales and gross margins. Potential customers may view price as the primary distinguishing characteristic between our products and services and those of our competitors.  This could result in the Company incurring significant and protracted losses.  Further, we are selling into a market that has a broad range of desired product characteristics and features which may make it difficult for us to develop products that will address a broad enough market to be commercially viable.

8.  Absence of Barriers to Entry & Lack of Patent Protection.   Our planned products and services are not unique and others could easily copy our strategy and provide the same or similar services since there are no significant barriers to entering the business of providing Internet telephone services or VoIP networks and no significant barriers to entry are expected in the future.  In addition, we do not hold and do not expect to hold any patent protection on any of our planned products or services.  For these reasons we may face continuing financial losses.

- 21 -



9.  Limited Customer Base.  While we seek to implement our plans, we have a limited customer base and there can be no assurance that we will grow and develop a sufficient customer base that generates sufficient sustainable revenues that provide stable profit margins.  The absence of growth at pricing levels that can provide for sustainable revenues and profit margins may greatly inhibit our ability to attract additional capital and otherwise lead to volatile results from operations with consequent adverse and material impact on our financial condition.

10.  Limited Control Over Third Parties & Planned Products/Services.  We intend to offer VoIP and Video-over-IP network design and planning services and in so doing, we anticipate that we will be acting as “general contractor” in bringing together various third party vendors to complete a VoIP solution based on a customer’s specific needs and preferences.  As a result, since we may not be able to control the products and services that these third parties provide, we may not be able to control the quality of our products and services.  This may adversely impact our ability to implement our business plan and otherwise allow us to differentiate our product effectively in the marketplace.

11.  Customers, Technology/Feature Options & Commercial Viability.  If we are able to implement our business plan, we will be selling our products and services into a marketplace that is experiencing a convergence of competing technologies.  Typically, telecommunications providers desire extremely robust products with the expectation of a relatively long effective life. As a result and depending on the outcome of unknown trends in technology, market forces, and other variables, we may not attract a broad enough market to achieve commercial viability.

12.  New Technologies May Be Developed.   New products or new technologies may be developed that supplant or provide lower-cost or better-performing alternatives to our planned products and services.  This could negatively impact our financial results.

13.  Government Regulation.   Our planned operations will likely be subject to extensive telecommunications-based regulation by the United States and foreign laws and international treaties.  In the United States we are subject to various Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") rules and regulations.  Current FCC regulations suggest that our VoIP will not be unduly burdened by new and expanded regulations. However, there can be no assurance that the occurrence of regulatory changes would not significantly affect our operations by restricting our planned operations or increasing the opportunity of our competitors.  In the event that government regulations change, there can be no assurance that the costs and burdens imposed on us will not materially and adversely impact our planned business.

14.  Control.  Our officers and directors directly and indirectly hold an aggregate of 38,430,468 shares of the Company’s common stock (before including any shares issuable upon exercise of any options).  This represents approximately 48.7% of the Company’s total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2003 and thereby allows the Company’s officers and directors to retain significant influence over the Company.

- 22 -



15.  Prior Filing of Form 10-SB.  In June of 2001 we prepared and filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Subsequently, our then legal counsel delivered a letter (dated November 15, 2001) to the SEC which, by its terms, stated that the SEC had agreed to allow us to withdraw the registration statement. At the time the Company’s management believed, in reliance upon assurances from the Company’s then legal counsel, that the Company had been allowed to withdraw the registration statement, notwithstanding that the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") provides that any withdrawal of a Form 10-SB registration statement (at any time after 60 days from the date at which it is originally filed) requires that the registrant: (a) file Form 15 with the SEC; (b) meet certain requirements that allow the registrant to file Form 15 to terminate the registration of the securities that were previously registered on Form 10-SB; and (c) file such other periodic reports as required to ensure compliance with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act up to the date at which the Form 15 is filed. Subsequently, in September 2004, the Company received a letter from the SEC (the "SEC Letter") informing the Company that the Company had not satisfied its obligations to file periodic reports required under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. While we believed that we had reasonably relied upon the assurances from our legal counsel (that we had effectively withdrawn the Form 10-SB registration statement), we are determined to complete all past and current periodic filings and to comply with the SEC Letter as expeditiously as possible. However, we have not received any assurances from the SEC that we will not be subject to any adverse enforcement action by the SEC. While we did not seek to avoid our obligations under the Exchange Act in any way, our prior actions in mistakenly believing that we had no obligation to file periodic reports required by the Exchange Act exposes us to risk of liability for significant civil fines and the SEC could, among other enforcement actions, suspend trading in our Common Stock. Further, we offered and sold securities in reliance upon exemptions that were predicated on our mistaken belief that the registration statement had been withdrawn. For these and other reasons we may be exposed to liability. We intend to continue a dialogue with the staff of the SEC and, as information is collected and documents are prepared, to complete all filings needed to demonstrate that we are fulfilling our obligations under the Exchange Act with due care and in full observance of our obligations as a "reporting company" thereunder.

16.  Dependence Upon Key Personnel and New Employees.  We believe that our success will depend, to a significant extent, on the efforts and abilities of Ronald G. Weaver, Jason A. Sunstein, John L. Castiglione, Farid Shouekani, and Stephen D. Young. The loss of the services of any of them could have a material and continuing adverse effect on the Company.  Our success also depends upon our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.  Hiring to meet our anticipated operations will require that we assimilate significant numbers of new employees during a relatively short period of time.

17.  Absence of Key Man Insurance.  We currently do not maintain any key man life insurance on the life of any of our officers or directors and there are no present plans to obtain any such insurance. In the event that any one or more of them are unable to perform their duties, the Company's business may be adversely impacted and our results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely impacted for a protracted period.

- 23 -



18.  Lack of Independent Evaluation of Business Plan & Proposed Strategy.  We have not obtained any independent or professional evaluation of our business plan and our business strategy and we have no present plans to obtain any such evaluation. There can be no assurance that we will successfully increase revenues, or if revenues we do, that we can do so at levels that will allow us to achieve or maintain profitability.  If we are unsuccessful, our results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely impacted and investors would likely lose all or a significant portion of their investment.

19.  No Planned Dividends.  We do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on our Common Stock.  Any profits that we may generate, if any, will be reinvested.

20.  Potential Dilution.  Funding of our planned business is likely to result in substantial and on-going dilution of our existing stockholders. While there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in raising additional capital, if we are successful in obtaining any additional capital, existing stockholders may incur substantial dilution.

21.  Matter of Public Market and Rule 144 Stock Sales.  As of December 31, 2003, there were 58,507,990 shares of the Company’s Common Stock that were “restricted securities” and which may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.  Since September 16, 2002, we have had a limited public trading market for our Common Stock in the “Pink Sheets” market. Since that date trading volumes have been volatile with sporadic liquidity levels.  Further, our Common Stock is (as of the date of the filing of this Report) a “Penny Stock” and for this reason we face continuing difficulties in our efforts to gain a liquid trading market and there can be no assurance that any liquid trading market will ever develop or, if it does develop, that it can be maintained. In the event that we are able to complete the filing of all periodic reports (the “Periodic Reports”) required by Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), we may be able to avoid any significant adverse enforcement action by the SEC arising out of our lack of compliance with the Exchange Act. Rule 144 provides that a person holding restricted securities for a period of one year may thereafter sell in brokerage transactions, an amount not exceeding in any three month period 1% of our outstanding Common Stock. Further, unless the Company can complete all of the required Periodic Reports and remain current in the filing of all future Periodic Reports, persons holding restricted stock will not be able to avail themselves of the safe harbor provisions of Rule 144. Persons who are not affiliated with the Company and who have held their restricted securities for at least two years are not subject to the volume limitation. In any trading market for our Common Stock, possible or actual sales of our Common Stock by present shareholders under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect on the price of our Common Stock even if a liquid trading market develops.

22.  General Risks of Low Priced Stocks.  In any trading market for our Common Stock, we anticipate that our Common Stock will be deemed a "Penny Stock" which will limit trading and liquidity and thereby the retail market for the Common Stock. The limitations are primarily due to the burdens that are imposed on brokers whose customers may wish to acquire our Common Stock.

- 24 -



          In that event, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our Common Stock. In the absence of a security being quoted on NASDAQ, or the Company having $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, trading in the Common Stock is covered by Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under such rules, broker/dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse) must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.

          Securities are also exempt from this rule if the market price is at least $5.00 per share, or for warrants, if the warrants have an exercise price of at least $5.00 per share. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure related to the market for penny stocks and for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock.

          The Commission has adopted regulations under such Act which define a penny stock to be any NASDAQ or non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share and allow for the enforcement against violators of the proposed rules.

          In addition, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission explaining important concepts involving a penny stock market, the nature of such market, terms used in such market, the broker/dealer's duties to the customer, a toll-free telephone number for inquiries about the broker/dealer's disciplinary history, and the customer's rights and remedies in case of fraud or abuse in the sale.

          Disclosure also must be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and, if the broker/dealer is the sole market maker, the broker/dealer must disclose this fact and its control over the market.  Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

          While many NASDAQ stocks are covered by the proposed definition of penny stock, transactions in NASDAQ stock are exempt from all but the sole market-maker provision for (i) issuers who have $2,000,000 in tangible assets has been in operation for at least three years ($5,000,000 if the issuer has not been in continuous operation for three years), (ii) transactions in which the customer is an institutional accredited investor, and (iii) transactions that are not recommended by the broker/dealer.

- 25 -



          In addition, transactions in a NASDAQ security directly with the NASDAQ market maker for such securities, are subject only to the sole market-maker disclosure, and the disclosure with regard to commissions to be paid to the broker/dealer and the registered representatives.  The Company's securities are subject to the above rules on penny stocks and the market liquidity for the Company's securities could be severely affected by limiting the ability of broker/dealers to sell the Company's securities.

Item 2.  Description of Property

Principal Office

          In July of 2001, the Company entered into an oral lease for the rental of office space from Jason A. Sunstein, an officer and director of the Company, which required that the Company pay Mr. Sunstein the sum of $1,100 per month in payment for all office space and utilities thereunder with this arrangement continuing through December 31, 2003 (inclusive). Our current office address (as of the date of this filing) is as shown on the first page of this Form 10-KSB.

Hills of Bajamar Industrial Space

          During September 1998, we entered into an agreement with a related party to purchase 50 acres of real property known as the Hills of Bajamar, located in Ensenada, Mexico.  The property is valued at a predecessor cost of $125,000.  We intended to sell lots for residential development and build a communications facility for residents in the surrounding area.  As consideration for the land, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. On June 30, 2001, all of the Series B Preferred Stock was converted into 400,000 shares of our Common Stock.  As of December 31, 2003, the Company had not received clear title to the land.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

          None.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

          Certain matters were submitted to the Company’s common stockholders for approval in December of 2003.  On December 29, 2003, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company’s common stockholders approved the following:

       

ITEM 1 – CAPITALIZATION

UPON MOTION, IT WAS RESOLVED to amend the authorized capital of the Corporation to include 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001, 100,000 Class A Preferred shares with a par value of $.001; and 10,000,000 Class B Preferred shares with a par value of $.001.  All voting rights of the Corporation shall be exercised by the holders of the common stock, with each share of common stock being entitled to one vote.  All shares of common stock shall have equal rights in the event of dissolution or final liquidation. 

 

- 26 -



       

ITEM 2 – RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS

UPON MOTION, IT WAS RESOLVED to approve a resolution to allow management and at the discretion of management to interview and appoint new independent public accountants.

 

ITEM 3 – 2000 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Item 5.  Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

          As of December 31, 2003, the Company's Common Stock traded in the non-Over the Counter "Pink Sheets" listed in the National Daily Quotations Service under the symbol, VPER.  Trading in the stock commenced on September 16, 2002 and only a limited and volatile trading market exists with only sporadic and limited interest by market makers.

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

          The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those that relate to income tax contingencies, revenue recognition, and litigation.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.  If actual results significantly differ from management's estimates, the Company's financial condition and results of operations could be materially impaired.

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2003 and Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2002

          During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, we recorded $433,376 as net sales revenues. This compares to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 (the "Fiscal 2002") when we recorded $18,265 as net sales revenue.

          During Fiscal 2003, our Cost of sales was $296,853 which resulted in a gross margin as a percentage of net sales revenues of approximately 31.5%. This compares to Fiscal 2002 where our Cost of sales was $10,029 which resulted in a gross margin percentage of net sales revenues was approximately 45.09%. Competitive conditions, product and sales mix, and technology trends impacted our gross margin in both of these years.

          During Fiscal 2003 we incurred $1,462,567 in selling, general and administrative expenses. This compares to Fiscal 2002 when we incurred $565,424 in selling, general and administrative expenses.  The increase from Fiscal 2002 to Fiscal 2003 was due primarily to the increased average monthly amount of selling, general and administrative expenses incurred as the Company developing and implementing its business plan. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses were

- 34 -


primarily made up of wages and salaries, office expenses, fees and costs incurred for legal and accounting services, and other administrative costs.

          During Fiscal 2003, we recorded an Equity loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries of $29,400.  And during Fiscal 2003, we incurred an Operating Loss of $1,355,443 compared to an Operating Loss of $557,188 during Fiscal 2002. The increase in the amount of the loss in Fiscal 2003 was due primarily to the increased selling, general and administrative expenses we incurred as we completed the acquisition of Coliance Communications and later, of Mid-Atlantic International, Inc.

          During Fiscal 2003, we incurred interest expense of $60,495.  By comparison, during Fiscal 2002 we had interest expense of $5,738.  In addition, we had $8,173 in realized losses on marketable securities, other expenses of $3,048, and a charge of $790,041 for impairment of an intangible.  By comparison, in Fiscal 2002 we had $8,166 in Other Income.

          As a result, during Fiscal 2003 we had a net loss of $2,200,854 compared to Fiscal 2002 when we had a net loss of $554,760.

          Basic loss per share for Fiscal 2003 was $.06 compared to Fiscal 2002 when we had a basic loss per share of $0.08.  During Fiscal 2003, we had 37,243,157 weighted average shares outstanding. By comparison, during Fiscal 2002 we had 6,737,489 weighted average shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          At December 31, 2003, we had $170,340 in cash. At the same time, we had $40,449 in other current assets. In contrast, as of December 31, 2003, our total current liabilities were $690,266 which consisted of $529,549 in short term debt and the current portion of certain long term debt. We also had $70,448 in Accounts payable, $5,159 in Accrued liabilities, $3,508 in Taxes payable, and $69,945 in stock subscription deposit.

          During Fiscal 2003, our cash needs were met primarily by the sale of common stock and loans from certain of our shareholders.  We can not be assured that we will continue to obtain funds from these or any other sources to meet our need for additional capital resources.

          Overall, our liquidity and access to capital is very limited.  Net Working Capital as of December 31, 2003 was ($804,396). We have not received any commitment for additional financing and given our development-stage, we may be limited to loans and other cash infusions from officers, directors, existing stockholders, and persons affiliated or associated with one or more of them.  If we are to implement our business plan, we will need to raise significant amounts of additional capital and during the period ending December 31, 2003 we had not received any commitment that any such additional financing would be forthcoming or, if could be obtained, that it can be obtained on

- 35 -


reasonable terms in light of our circumstances at that time. In addition, if any financing should be obtained, existing shareholders will likely incur substantial, immediate, and permanent dilution of their existing investment.

          As of December 31, 2003, the Company expects that it will need at least $1,000,000 to cover our anticipated operating expenses for the twelve month period thereafter.

Critical Accounting Policies

          The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  We are required to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Actual results could differ from our estimates.  While we are a development-stage company, the most significant areas involving our judgments and estimates are principally those involving our current liabilities.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

          This Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements as defined by federal securities laws which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements are statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, expectations, intentions, projections, developments, future events, performance or products, underlying (express or implied) assumptions and other statements which are other than historical facts.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "projects," and other similar terminology or the negative of these terms.

Impact of Inflation

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 146 – Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.  SFAS No. 146 provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with exit or disposal activities.  Under SFAS No. 146, liabilities or costs associated with exit or disposal activities should be recognized when the liabilities are incurred and measured at fair value.  This statement is effective prospectively for exit ort disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operation or financial condition.

          In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), -- Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor’s balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee.  In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a rollforward of the entity’s product warranty liabilities. The Company will apply the recognition provisions of FIN 45 prospectively to guarantees issued after December 31, 2002.  The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for, and are reflected in, the 2002 financial statements.  The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operation or financial condition.

          In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” This Issue addresses determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting.  EITF Issue No. 00-21 will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 or the Company may elect to report the change in accounting as a cumulative-effect adjustment.  The Company is reviewing EITF Issue No. 00-21 and has not yet determined the impact that this issue will have on its operating results and financial condition.

Item 12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

          Mr. Sunstein, the Company’s Vice President Finance and Secretary and Director, was also an officer of Tri-National Development Corporation (“Tri-National”) from January 1996 to April 1, 2001. Tri-National acquired 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock on September 1, 1998.

          During September 1998, we entered into an agreement with a related party to purchase 50 acres of real property known as the Hills of Bajamar, located in Ensenada, Mexico.  The property is valued at a predecessor cost of $125,000.  We intended to sell lots for residential development and build a communications facility for residents in the surrounding area.  As consideration for the land, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. On June 30, 2001, all of the Series B Preferred Stock was converted into 400,000 shares of our Common Stock.  As of December 31, 2001, the Company had not received clear title to the land.

          During 2000, Castle-Lion Corporation, a private company (“Castle-Lion”) owned by John L. Castiglione, a Company officer and director, advanced an aggregate of $5,655 in paying certain expenses incurred by the Company. In March 2001, the Company issued 56,550 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Castle-Lion to extinguish this accounts payable.

          During 2000, Jason A. Sunstein, a Company officer and director, advanced an aggregate of $1,820 to the Company in paying certain expenses incurred by the Company. The Company later repaid Mr. Sunstein.

          In early 2001, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $13,667 due a former officer of the Company.  The note accrues interest at 15% per annum, is unsecured, and is payable on or before June 30, 2001.  The note was subsequently paid in April 2002 with a $7,500 cash payment and the issuance of 40,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

- 44 -


          In July of 2001, the Company entered into an oral lease for the rental of office space from Jason A. Sunstein, an officer and director of the Company, which required that the Company pay Mr. Sunstein the sum of $1,100 per month in payment for all office space and utilities thereunder with this arrangement continuing through December 31, 2003 (inclusive).  While the Company believes that the office arrangement with Mr. Sunstein was undertaken on terms that were no different than those that the Company could have obtained in an arms length transaction with an unrelated third party, the Company completed only a limited evaluation of other alternatives.

          During 2001, Six-Twenty-Capital Management, Inc., a private company (“Six-Twenty Capital”) owned by Jason A. Sunstein, a Company officer and director, purchased an aggregate of 106,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.10 per share.  The Company’s sale of the shares to Six-Twenty Capital was undertaken on the same terms as others during this period as entered into with third parties on an arms-length basis.

          As a result of several transactions, Jason A. Sunstein, an officer and director of the Company, paid certain of the Company’s expenses which totaled $4,587 during the twelve months ending December 31, 2001, totaling $6,407 as of December 31, 2001.  The Company subsequently repaid Mr. Sunstein all of these amounts.

          As a result of several transactions, John L. Castiglione, an officer and director of the Company, paid certain of the Company’s expenses which totaled $3,352 during the twelve months ending December 31, 2001.  The Company subsequently repaid Mr. Castiglione all of these amounts.

          As a result of several transactions, Jason A. Sunstein, an officer and director of the Company, paid certain of the Company’s expenses which totaled $10,330 during the twelve months ending December 31, 2002, totaling $16,737 as of December 31, 2002. The Company subsequently repaid Mr. Sunstein all of these amounts.

          As a result of several transactions, John L. Castiglione, an officer and director of the Company, paid certain of the Company’s expenses which totaled $23,251 during the twelve months ending December 31, 2002, totaling $26,603 as of December 31, 2002. The Company subsequently repaid Mr. Castiglione all of these amounts.

          In August 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the acquisition of Coliance Communications (“Coliance”) which included the purchase of the shares of Coliance acquired from Ronald G. Weaver and Stephen D. Young. In this transaction, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Ronald G. Weaver, who became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a Director and 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Stephen D. Young, who became the Company’s Chairman of the Board.

All of the Redemption Rights expire on January 15, 2003 and are secured by Mid-Atlantic’s assets.  As of December 31, 2003, Mr. Shouekani did not exercise his Redemption Rights over any Special Shares. Any Special Shares that have not been redeemed, the Company is obligated to reacquire at a price of $0.17 per share on or before January 15, 2004.  Mr. Shouekani also became a Director of the Company.

          On August 21, 2003, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement’) with Young’s Environmental Solutions, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Seller”).  The Seller is an entity owned and managed by Stephen D. Young, a former officer and director of the Company (“Young”).

          Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company purchased a one-half interest in land located in San Jacinto, California (the "Real Property"). At the time of the  Agreement,  the Company  intended to develop the Real  Property and include facilities for the Company.

          The purchase of the Real Property was undertaken through the Company's issuance of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to two transferees who had, by prior agreement, transferred the land to the Seller. The Agreement grants each of the two transferees piggy-back registration rights to include up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares each in a Form SB-2 registration statement that may be filed by the Company.  The Agreement further provides that the two transferees shall be allowed to sell, subject to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, up to 250,000 shares each during each calendar quarter commencing one year after the date at which the shares are issued in payment of the purchase price of the Real Property.

          Subsequently, on January 27, 2005, the Company and the Seller entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement").  The Settlement Agreement, by its terms, was effective August 21, 2003 and provides for the following:

- 46 -


          (1)  The Company and the Seller agreed that Young was to return  an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock previously issued to Young with all said shares to be returned to the Company for cancellation; and

          (2)  The Company and Young  agreed that the Company was released from all obligations to Young (and all affiliates of Young) in connection with the following common stock purchase options and all rights  thereto, all rights to receive shares of the Company's Common Stock, and all rights to receive all other consulting fees, as previously granted to Young or as claimed as granted to Young, namely:

                 

(a)   

the common stock purchase option giving Young the right to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (granted on July 17, 2003);

 

(b)

the common stock purchase option giving Young the right to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (granted on December 16, 2003); and

 

(c)

all obligations that the Company has or may have to Young for any other consulting fees, whether earned or unearned in any capacity.

          (3)  The Company and the Seller also agreed that Young would assume sole and exclusive responsibility:

                 

(a)   

for the payment of all debts and encumbrances in connection with the purchase, ownership, possession, maintenance, and operation of all activity on the Real Property;

 

(b)

for all costs incurred in connection with the transfer of record title to the Real Property to ensure that the Company is not listed as holding any interest in the Real Property; and

 

(c)

to provide the Company, to the extent that the insurance carrier will so provide, with an insurance binder showing that the Company is an  additional insured on all insurance policies on the Real Property and for the  Company to continue as an additional insured on all such policies for a period of three years thereafter.

- 47 -


          (4)  For its part and not withstanding the other terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse Young by issuing an unsecured subordinated promissory note equal to the net proceeds received by the Company arising out of the financing of the Real Property.

          (5)  The Company also agreed to grant Young a common stock purchase warrant for the purchase of up to 2,750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "New  Option") at an exercise price of thirty cents per share (the "Exercise Price").  The New Option is exercisable as follows: (a) 1,000,000 shares may be purchased on or after October 12, 2005;  (b) 1,000,000 shares may be purchased on or after October 12, 2006; and 750,000 shares may be purchased on or after October 12, 2007.  The New Option and all rights to purchase the Company's shares expires on October 12, 2009.  The New Option also contains provisions to adjust the Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable thereunder in the event in the nature of a stock split or recapitalization.

          (6)  The Company and the Seller (including Young and a corporate affiliate of Young) also agreed to mutually and forever released each other from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, rights (contingent, accrued, or otherwise) which either has or may have against the other party (including, but not limited to, any officers, directors, or other affiliates) except that the Seller was not released from any liability that may be asserted by the two transferees;

          (7)  The Company agreed to pay Young the sum of $12,000 for past services as an outside director and Young agreed to resign as a director and officer of the Company effective October 12, 2004.

          The Company entered into the Settlement Agreement to resolve uncertainties related to the purchase of the Real Property and believes that the Settlement Agreement will better serve the Company's long-term interests.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Viper Networks, Inc.
10373 Roselle Street, Suite 170
San Diego, CA 92121

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Viper Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries of December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Viper Networks, Inc., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the results of their operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VIPER NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                  

a.  Organization

 

The consolidated financial statements presented are those of Viper Networks, Inc. and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (the “Company”).

 

We are a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, communications products and services.  The company has evolved from a pioneer in selling VIPER CONNECT, a “push to talk” technology developed by ITXC, to a next generation provider of high-quality telecommunication services and technology for internet protocol, or IP telephony applications. We utilize our VoIP technology to transmit digital voice communications over data networks and the Internet.

 

Viper Networks, Inc. (“Viper-CA”) was incorporated on September 14, 2000 under the laws of the State of California. Taig Ventures, Inc. (“Taig”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on February 28, 1983.

 

On November 15, 2000, Taig and Viper-CA completed a Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby Taig issued 36,000,000 pre-split or 3,000,000 post-split shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Viper-CA. Immediately prior to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Taig had 6,788,507 pre-split or 565,786 post-split shares of common stock and 3,000,000 shares of non-voting preferred stock issued and outstanding. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Viper-CA with Viper-CA as the acquirer (reverse acquisition). Viper-CA was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes because the shareholders of Viper-CA controlled Taig after the acquisition. The historical financial statements prior to November 15, 2000 are those of Viper-CA.

 

On December 29, 2000, Taig changed its name to Viper Networks, Inc. (“Viper-UT”) and authorized a reverse split of the Company’s common stock on a 1-for-12 basis.

 

b.  Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and include Viper-CA and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

c.  Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

d.  Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.  Useful lives range from three to five years for office furniture and equipment.  Additions to property and equipment together with major renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are charged to expense as incurred.


F-8



VIPER NETWORKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

                  

e.  Long lived assets

 

All long lived assets are evaluated yearly for impairment per Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No.121 (“SFAS 121”), “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”. Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs.

 

f.  Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs for voice, data and other services along with product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is probable.  Support and maintenance sales will be recognized over the contract term.  Amounts invoiced and collected in advance of product or services provided will be recorded as deferred revenue.  The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on its experience.

 

g.  Stock-based compensation

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, provides for the use of a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation.  However, SFAS 123 allows the measurement of compensation cost for stock options granted to employees using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, which only requires charges to compensation expense for the excess, if any, of the fair value of the underlying stock at the date a stock option is granted (or at an appropriate subsequent measurement date) over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock.  The Company has elected to account for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB 25.  By making that election, the Company is required by SFAS 123 to provide pro forma disclosures of net loss as if a fair value based method of accounting had been applied.

 

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 13, all other issuances of stock, stock options or other equity instruments to employees and non-employees as the consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued (unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured).  During the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized $468,856 and $495,750 and $35,111 and $396,402 of expense relating to the grant of common stock to non-employees and employees, respectively, for services which are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The value of these shares was determined based upon over the counter closing prices.

 

h.  Income taxes

 

Current income tax expense (benefit) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (receivable) for the current year.  A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred income tax expense is generally the net change during the year in the deferred income tax asset and liability.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be “more likely then not” realized in future tax returns.  Tax rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.

i.  Net loss per share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.  Diluted loss per share has not been presented because the assumed exercise of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants would have been antidilutive.  Options and/or warrants will have a dilutive effect only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and/or warrants.  There were options to purchase 3,250,000 shares of common stock and 11,634,428 warrants potentially issuable at December 31, 2003 which were not included in the computation of net loss per share.

j.  Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company owns 50 acres of real property where it plans to sell lots for residential development and build a communications facility.  The property is located in Mexico which has a developing economy.  Hyperinflation, volatile exchange rates and rapid political and legal change, often accompanied by military insurrection, have been common in this and certain other emerging markets in which the Company may conduct operations.  The Company may be materially adversely affected by possible political or economic instability in Mexico.  The risks include, but are not limited to terrorism, military repression, expropriation, changing fiscal regimes, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation and the absence of industrial and economic infrastructure.  Changes in land development or investment policies or shifts in the prevailing political climate in Mexico in which the Company plans to sell lots for residential development and build a communications facility could adversely affect the Company’s business.  Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to development restrictions, price controls, export controls, income and other taxes, expropriation of property, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, labor, welfare, benefit policies, land use, land claims of local residents, water use and mine safety.  The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.

 

k.  New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”. SFAS No. 146 provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of liabilities associated with exit and disposal activities.  Under SFAS No. 146, liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities should be recognized when the liabilities are incurred and measured at fair value.  This statement is effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.  The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

                  

k.   New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.”   FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor’s balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee.  In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a rollforward of the entity’s product warranty liabilities.  The Company will apply the recognition provisions of FIN 45 prospectively to guarantees issued after December 31, 2002.  The disclosure provisions of FIN 45 are effective for, and are reflected in, the 2002 financial statements.  The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”.  This issue addresses determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting.  EITF Issue No. 00-21 will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 or the Company may elect to report the change in accounting as a cumulative-effect adjustment.  The Company is reviewing EITF Issue No. 00-21 and has not yet determined the impact this issue will have on its operating results and financial position.

 

NOTE 2 -

GOING CONCERN

                  

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss from inception on September 14, 2000 through December 31, 2003, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $3,160,751 at December 31, 2003 which raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

It is the intent of management to continue to develop its voice and data services to Web-based customers and expand its Voice-over-Internet Protocol networks for businesses, institutions, and Internet Service Providers (ISP).

 

Company management will seek additional financing through new stock issuances and lines of credit.

ACQUISTIONS

                  

During May 2002, the Company purchased substantially all of the property and equipment of ePhone, Inc. (“ePhone”).  As consideration for the purchase, the Company issued to ePhone 162,133 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a value of ten cents per share, based on recent cash sales of the Company’s Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $16,213.  The Company also issued Common Stock purchase warrants for the purchase 162,133 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.50 per share, as defined.  No value was assigned to the warrants.

STOCK SUBSCRIPTION RECEIVABLE

                 

During September 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a related party to purchase 50 acres of real property known as the Hills of Bajamar, located in Ensenada, Mexico that is valued at predecessor cost of $125,000. The Company intended to sell lots for residential development and build a communications facility for residents in the surrounding area.

 

As consideration for the land, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its series B Preferred Stock and stock warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  During June 2003, the Company negotiated a settlement and release with the Class B preferred stockholder whereby the Preferred Stock and stock warrants were exchanged for 400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the cumulative undeclared dividend was not declared.

 

As of the date of these financial statements, the Company had not received clear title to the land. Accordingly, the value of the land has been classified as a stock subscription receivable. The 400,000 share certificate is being held by the Company.

Due to the Company’s net loss position from inception on September 14, 2000 to December 31, 2003, there was no provision for income taxes recorded.  The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate:

Stock-based compensation is recognized using the intrinsic value method.  In connection with the grant of stock options to employees, the company recorded unearned stock-based compensation within stockholders’ deficit of $324,274 during the year ended December 31, 2004 representing the difference between the estimated fair value of the common stock determined for financial reporting purposes and the exercise price of these options at the date of grant.  Amortization of unearned stock-based compensation, net of any charges reversed during the period for the forfeiture of unvested options, was $4,426 and zero for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2003, the unearned stock-based compensation of $324,548 will be amortized as follows:  $65,795 in 2004, $65,795 in 2005, $65,795 in 2006, $65,795 in 2007, $61,368 in 2008.  The amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recorded in future periods could decrease if options for which accrued but unvested compensation has been recorded are forfeited.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of each option grant at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002; no dividend yield, expected volatility of 331.1% and 312.5%, risk-free interest rates of 3.43% and 3.03%, and expected lives of 6.7 and 5.0 years, respectively.
