PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
About Our Company
We are a Delaware corporation. We act as a holding company for two operating subsidiaries: SkyLynx Wireless Networks, Inc., and Rover Telcom Corporation.
Through SkyLynx Wireless Networks, Inc., we develop and deploy dedicated wireless data networks designed for businesses and governmental agencies. We have successfully deployed systems in Seattle, Tacoma and Denver.
Through Rover Telcom Corporation, we operate an internet service provider under the name Net Assets. With principal offices located in Fresno, California, Net Assets offers development services for intranets, database design, web design and e-commerce design, co-location, hosting and internet service connections.
In December, 2005, we entered into two Agreements and Plan of Merger to acquire two additional subsidiaries: Vetco Hospitals, Inc., and Digital Computer Integration Corporation. Consummation of these acquisitions is subject to numerous conditions customary to transactions of this kind, including the completion of due diligence, obtaining necessary corporate approvals and no adverse changes in the respective businesses. If these transactions are completed, of which there are no assurances, they would result in a change of control of SkyLynx. We expect that if we are able to complete these acquisitions, the closings will occur in the first quarter of 2006.
Our executive offices are located at 500 John Ringling Boulevard, Sarasota Florida 23126. Our telephone number is (941) 388-2882.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Please carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the possibility of the loss of your entire investment, before deciding to invest in our securities.
Our auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,989,225. Accordingly, we have never generated sufficient revenue and require funding in order to meet our capital resource needs. To date, we have generated cash from the sale of common stock, convertible debt securities and advances from affiliates. The stockholders and affiliates are under no obligation to continue to advance working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and as a result, our auditors have added an emphasis paragraph in their report on the June 30, 2005 financial statements.
We have a history of losses, and we expect future losses
We have never been profitable, we expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and we may never be profitable.
As a result of our unprofitable operating history it is difficult to forecast our future operating results. Whether or not we complete the acquisitions of Vetco Hospitals, Inc. or Digital Computer Integration Corporation, we expect to substantially increase our product development and general administrative expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability in the future. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including:
* |
The overall growth rate for the markets in which we compete |
|
* |
The level of market acceptance of, and demand for, our products |
|
* |
The level of product and price competition |
|
* |
Our ability to attract, train and retain consulting, technical and other key personnel |
Our securities represent a highly speculative investment.
We have not had sufficient capital to fund all of our capital resource needs since our formation, and you cannot assume that our plans will either materialize or prove successful. There is no assurance that our operations will ever produce sufficient revenue to fund our capital resource needs. In the event our plans are unsuccessful, you may lose all or a substantial part of your investment.
We require immediate additional financing.
We believe that existing cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated working capital and operating requirements through at least the second quarter of 2006. Under our agreements with the Selling Securityholders, upon the initial filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the Selling Securityholders purchased an additional $1 million in convertible notes and warrants, and the Selling Securityholders are obligated to purchase the final $1 million in convertible notes and warrants upon the effective date of the registration statement. Beyond the investments of the Selling Securityholders, we anticipate that we will require additional financing. While we plan to raise additional capital, there is no assurance that we will be successful. Further, even if we are successful in raising additional capital, it may be on terms that results in substantial dilution to our shareholders. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital, you may lose all or a substantial part of your investment.
5
Future financings will not require the prior approval of our shareholders, may result in dilution to our shareholders, and restrictions on our operations.
If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or debt securities, further dilution to our shareholders could occur. Additionally, we may grant registration rights to investors purchasing equity or debt securities. Debt financing, if available, may involve pledging some or all of our assets and may contain restrictive covenants with respect to raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain necessary additional capital, we may be unable to execute our business strategy, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have limited human resources; we need to attract and retain highly skilled personnel; and we may be unable to manage our growth with our limited resources effectively.
We expect that the expansion of our business will place a significant strain on our limited managerial, operational, and financial resources. We will be required to expand our operational and financial systems significantly and to expand, train and manage our work force in order to manage the expansion of our operations. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to attract, train, and retain additional highly skilled executive level management with experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Competition is intense for these types of personnel from more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, marketing, human, and other resources than we have. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms or at all. If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected. Further, our ability to manage our growth effectively will require us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures, to install new management information and control systems and to train, motivate and manage employees. If we are unable to manage growth effectively and new employees are unable to achieve adequate performance levels, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Our success is dependent upon pricing of our services and obtaining customers.
Our success depends upon the willingness of subscribers to pay the installation costs and monthly fees of our services. We cannot predict whether demand for our services will materialize at the prices we expect to charge or whether the market will accept prices we may set. Our failure to achieve or sustain desired pricing levels or to obtain a sufficient number of subscribers for our services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our ability to attract subscribers and generate future revenues will be dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to increase our subscriber base. Because of these variables, we are unable to accurately forecast our revenues.
We may incur expenses or suffer a loss of business if our network fails.
Our success will depend in part upon our ability to support a complex network infrastructure and avoid damage from fires, earthquakes, floods, power losses, systems failures and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or other anticipated problems at our network operations center or at any of our regional operating locations could cause interruptions in our services. Any damage or failure that causes interruptions in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We may lose customers if we are unable to respond to technological change in the industry.
The market for wireless network service is characterized by rapid technological developments, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. The emerging nature of these products and services and their rapid evolution will require that we continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our system, particularly in response to our competition. We can provide no assurance that will be successful in responding quickly, cost effectively or sufficiently to these developments. In addition, we may be required to make substantial expenditures in order to adapt to new wireless technologies or standards. These expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
6
We may lose customers or incur significant expenses as a result of security breaches of our network.
Despite our implementation of security measures, our networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses and other disruptive problems. Wireless network providers have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, interruptions in service as a result of the accidental or intentional actions of network users, current and former employees, or others. A person gaining unauthorized access to our network may be able to view and download confidential information stored on our systems or the systems of our subscribers. We could be found liable to our subscribers if they perceive our system to be unsafe. Although we have implemented industry standard security measures, similar measures have been circumvented in the past, and we can provide no assurance that measures we implement will not be circumvented in the future. Eliminating computer viruses and alleviating other security problems may require interruptions, delays or cessation of our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our long-term growth strategy is dependent on completing acquisitions.
While net proceeds from this offering are not expected to be utilized for acquisition activity, over the long-term, we intend to significantly grow by acquiring other businesses. Our current capital structure does not support an acquisition program. We intend to use a combination of our common stock, cash and debt obligations to make these future acquisitions. The extent to which we are able to use our common stock for this purpose will depend on its market value from time to time and the willingness of potential sellers to accept it as full or partial payment. To the extent we are unable to use our common stock to make acquisitions, our ability to grow may be limited to funds from internally generated cash flow over and above our other cash needs and our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Our current capital structure may make it more difficult for us to borrow money to use for acquisitions.
An acquisition strategy such as ours involves risks inherent in assessing the values, strengths, weaknesses and profitability of acquisition candidates. Historically, we have been successful in identifying potential acquisition candidates. As consolidation continues in the industry, the prices for attractive acquisition candidates may be higher than we have paid and may make an acquisition strategy for growth less viable.
We may incur liability related to our network technology or the information or content on our network.
We may face liability under federal, state or foreign laws for defamation, copyright, trademark or patent infringement, negligence, obscenity or other claims related to the information or data on our network or the technology used in our network. This potential liability may require us to expend substantial resources or discontinue some of our services. Although we carry general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover or fully indemnify us for all liability that we may incur. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
SkyLynx has only recently deployed its wireless network in limited markets. We may not be able to commercialize our products and services in a cost effective manner.
We have only recently completed beta testing our network in our first markets of Seattle, Tacoma and Denver, and expect to start generating revenues in those markets in the first quarter of 2006. We do not have the manufacturing experience to handle large commercial requirements. We may not be able to develop manufacturing technologies and processes and expand our plant facilities to the point where they are capable of satisfying large commercial orders. Development and expansion of these technologies and processes require extensive lead times and the commitment of significant financial, engineering and human resources. We may not successfully develop the required manufacturing technologies and processes.
7
Market acceptance of our products and services may take longer to develop than we anticipate or may never develop.
Our products and services represent a new technology and their success will depend on this technology achieving market acceptance. Because we design our products to capitalize on markets that presently utilize or are serviced by products from traditional and well-established sources, we may face significant resistance from end-users to adopt a new and alternative power source technology. If a mass market develops more slowly than we anticipate or fails to develop, we may not be able to recover the expenses we incurred to develop these products.
We may be unable to compete successfully in a highly competitive market.
The development and marketing of systems similar to ours is extremely competitive. Competitors range from development stage companies to major domestic and international companies, many of which have:
* |
substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and human resource capabilities; |
|
* |
established relationships with original equipment manufacturers; |
|
* |
name-brand recognition; and |
|
* |
established positions in the markets that we have targeted for penetration. |
These or other companies may succeed in developing and bringing to market products or technologies that are more cost-effective than those being developed by us or that would render our products and technology obsolete or non-competitive in the marketplace.
If we fail to develop new products and services in the face of our industry's rapidly evolving technology, our future results may be adversely affected.
The development of tracking systems and wireless networks is subject to rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards that may render existing products and services obsolete. Our growth and future operating results will depend in part upon our ability to enhance systems and develop and introduce new systems that:
* |
meet or exceed technological advances in the marketplace |
|
* |
meet changing customer and regulatory requirements |
|
* |
achieve market acceptance, and |
|
* |
respond to competitive products. |
Our product development and testing efforts have required, and we are expected to continue to require, substantial investment. We may not possess sufficient resources to continue to make the necessary investments in technology.
Our limited ability to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to compete effectively.
Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent on our internally developed technologies and intellectual property, which we protect through a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. To date, we have not applied for any patents, foreign or domestic, and we do not anticipate applying for patent protection.
8
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult and, though we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our products exists, we expect piracy to be a problem. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop technology similar to ours. The number of intellectual property claims in our industry may increase as the number of computing products grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Although we are not aware that any of our products or other intellectual property infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current or future products. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to address, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. These royalty or license agreements might not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, which could have a material adverse affect on our business.
We may not be able to adequately protect our trademarks and domain names.
Our trademarks and domain names play an important role in expanding the awareness of our products. While we have applied for registration of our trademarks and registered domain names in an effort to protect them, our efforts may be inadequate to prevent others from claiming violations of their marks and may be inadequate to protect our use of those names as unique. In addition, trademark protection and the uncertainty surrounding the legal protections of domain names may be unenforceable or limited in other countries, and the global nature of the internet makes it impossible to control the ultimate destination of our communications. The regulation of web addresses in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change. As a result, we may not be able to acquire or maintain our web addresses in the future. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing such addresses and the laws protecting trademarks is unsettled.
If the market's acceptance and adoption of our technology does not develop, our future results may suffer.
All of our products are based upon and rely solely upon our technology, which is still being developed. We cannot be sure that our products will achieve broad market acceptance or that other superior technologies will not be developed. The failure our products to achieve broad acceptance could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues. The technology is one of several competing technologies used in the tracking industry.
In order to develop our business, it will be necessary to convince businesses to adopt a new technology.
As we do not have a significant existing customer base, our success will be dependent upon our ability to convince business to adopt our technology. A majority of businesses requiring tracking solutions have existing agreements with our competitors who use, for the most part, different and competitive technologies. Businesses that have made substantial up-front payments to our competitors for tracking solutions may be reluctant to replace their current solution and adopt our solution. As a result, our efforts to create a larger customer base may be more difficult than expected even if we are deemed to offer products and services superior to those of our competitors. In addition, potential customers in this market may be confused or uncertain about the relative merits of each solution or which solution to adopt, if any. Confusion and uncertainty in the marketplace may inhibit customers from adopting our solution.
The failure to implement successfully our tracking system and wireless network could result in dissatisfied customers and limited sales.
Implementation of our tracking system and wireless data network involves a significant commitment of financial and other resources by our customers. The customer's implementation cycle can be lengthy due to the size and complexity of their systems and operations. In addition, our customers will rely heavily on third party systems integrators to assist them with the installation and use of our products. Our failure or the failure of our alliance partners, our customers or our third party integrators to implement successfully our products could result in dissatisfied customers which could adversely affect our reputation.
9
We may be subject to future product liability claims and our products' reputations may suffer.
Many of our installations will involve projects that are critical to the operations of our customers' business and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify. Any failure in a customer's system could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for the failure. Although our agreements with our customers will contain provisions designed to limit contractually our liability for damages arising from negligent acts, errors, mistakes or omissions, it is possible that these provisions will not be enforceable in certain instances or would otherwise not protect us from liability for damages. Although we maintain general liability insurance coverage, this coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or at all, or may be insufficient to cover one or more large claims. Moreover, such insurance coverage may not provide benefits for certain product liability claims.
If we default on the terms of our debt, our lenders could foreclose on our assets and force us out of business.
In August, 2005, we entered into agreements to sell an aggregate of $3 million in secured convertible notes, which are due in 2008. Our obligation to repay the convertible notes is secured by a first lien on all of our assets, including all of our intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses. If we are unable to make timely payment of principal or interest on these notes, or if we default on any of the covenants or other requirements of our loan agreements, our lenders will be able to foreclose on our assets by which their loans are secured. Such foreclosure would likely force us out of business.
Risks Related To This Offering
The existence of outstanding convertible notes, options and warrants may impair our ability to raise capital.
At September 30, 2005, there were 3,332,533 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at an average exercise price of $0.20 per share; 3,819,356 sharers of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options at an average exercise price of $2.38 per share; and 30,303,303 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the conversion of outstanding notes at a conversion price of $0.033 per share. During the life of the notes, options and warrants, the holders are given an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock with a resulting dilution in the interest of the other shareholders. Our ability to obtain additional financing during the period the notes, options, warrants are outstanding may be adversely affected and the existence of the notes, options and warrants may have an effect on the price of our common stock. The holders of the warrants may be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favorable than those provided by the warrants.
There are trading risks for low priced stocks.
Our common stock is currently traded in the over-the-counter market on the "Electronic Bulletin Board" of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. As a consequence, an investor could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our securities.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure, relating to the market for penny stocks, in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission recently adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three (3) years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three (3) years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three (3) years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.

If our securities are not quoted on NASDAQ, or we do not have $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, trading in our securities will be covered by Rules 15-g-1 through 15-g-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act for non-NASDAQ and nonexchange listed securities. Under such rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to this transaction. Securities are exempt from these rules if the market price of the common stock is at least $5.00 per share.
We cannot predict the number of warrants, if any, that will be exercised, or the proceeds that we will receive from the exercise of warrants.
The Selling Securityholders are under no obligation to exercise the warrants, and can be expected to do so only if it is economically reasonable for it to do so. Typically, warrants are not exercised unless exercise is forced, either by us calling them for redemption, or because they are scheduled to expire; and then they will be exercised only if the exercise price is less than the market price of our common stock underlying the warrants. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the warrants will be exercised during the period they are exercisable, or that we will receive any proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.
We will have broad discretion to allocate any proceeds we receive from the exercise of warrants. We cannot guarantee that the monies received will improve our operations.
The monies that we may receive from the exercise of the warrants have been allocated generally to provide working capital for operations. As such, we will use funds as they are received for such purposes and in such proportions as we deem advisable. While we will apply the proceeds in a manner consistent with our fiduciary duty and in a manner consistent with our best interests, we cannot assure you that the monies received will result in any present or future improvement in our results of operations.
The market price of our securities could be adversely affected by sales of restricted securities.
Actual sales or the prospect of future sales of shares of our common stock under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect upon the price of, and market for, our common stock. As of December 1, 2005, 30,323,726 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. 25,140,808 of these shares are "restricted securities" and under some circumstances may, in the future, be under a registration under the Securities Act or in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act. In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of other conditions, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that:
* |
Does not exceed the greater of one percent of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class; or |
|
* |
If the common stock is quoted on Nasdaq or a stock exchange, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale. |
A person who presently is not and who has not been one of our affiliates for at least three months immediately preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock for at least two years is entitled to sell these shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the volume limitations described above. We cannot predict what effect, if any, that sales of shares of common stock, or the availability of these shares for sale, will have on the market prices prevailing from time-to-time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market may adversely effect prevailing prices for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.
11
Our ability to issue additional securities without shareholder approval could have substantial dilutive and other adverse effects on existing stockholders and investors in this offering.
We have the authority to issue additional shares of common stock and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock without shareholder approval. Future issuance of common stock could be at values substantially below the exercise price of the warrants, and therefore could represent further substantial dilution to you as an investor in this offering. In addition, we could issue large blocks of voting stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further shareholder approval. As of December 1, 2005, we had outstanding options exercisable to purchase up to 3,819,356 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.38 per share, notes convertible into an aggregate of approximately 30,303,303 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, at an effective conversion price of $0.033 per share; and outstanding warrants exercisable to purchase up to 3,332,533 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.20 per share. Exercise of these warrants and options could have a further dilutive effect on existing stockholders and you as an investor.
Our corporate charter makes certain limitations on director liability.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide, as permitted by Delaware law, that our directors shall not be personally liable to the corporation or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, with certain exceptions. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on behalf of us against directors. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

The bid and ask prices of our common stock as of December ___, 2005 were $0.05 and $0.08, respectively, as reported on the Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board prices are bid and ask prices which represent prices between broker-dealers and do not include retail mark-ups and mark-downs or any commissions to the broker-dealer. The prices do not reflect prices in actual transactions. As of December ___, 2005, there were approximately _____ record owners of our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Commission regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Those disclosure rules applicable to "penny stocks" require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a "penny stock" not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized list disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in "penny stocks" can be very risky and that the investor's salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in "penny stocks," to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson with whom the investor is working and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the "penny stock" is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock since our inception. We intend to retain all future earnings, if any, to fund the operation of our business, and, therefore, do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future, other than those required to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock. Future cash dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with this Prospectus.
The following discussion and analysis covers material changes in the financial condition of SkyLynx Communications, Inc., (the "Company") since June 30, 2005 and material changes in our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 contained herein.
Special note regarding forward-looking statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements include statements about our future business plans and strategies, statements about our need for working capital, future revenues, results of operations and most other statements that are not historical in nature. In this Report, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words "intend", "plan", "believe", "expect", "estimate", and the like. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable securities statues or regulations, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, these are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 versus Three Months Ended September 30, 2004
We incurred a net loss of $1,155,897 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a net loss of $564,013 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 due to the following:
Stock-based compensation decreased to $2,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $98,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The reduction in the Company's stock price caused the reduction of stock-based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.
16
Sales revenue remained relatively consistent at $85,526 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $85,428 for the comparative period in the prior year.
Costs of revenue increased approximately 9 percent, to $56,163 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $51,710 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 primarily due to an increase in our Internet backhaul charges.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately 19 percent, to $361,008 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $302,694 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is related to increased general and administrative costs in our Sarasota, Florida and Seattle, Washington operations and decreased general and administrative costs in our Fresno, California Internet Service Provider operations.
Interest expense increase to $809,394 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $0 interest expense for the same period in 2004. This is due to the Company issuing convertible debentures with a beneficial conversion feature valued at $740,724 and amortizing the value of the warrants issued in connection with the debentures for an additional $14,404.
General and administrative costs incurred in the Sarasota, Florida and Seattle, Washington operations consist mainly of salaries, travel and professional fees related to our search for new business opportunities. General and administrative costs incurred in the Fresno, California decreased due to a decrease in salaries and benefits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have current assets of $756,076 (including $551,210 in cash) compared with current liabilities of $1,716,472, resulting in a working capital deficit of $960,396 as of September 30, 2005. Our auditors have questioned our ability to continue as a going concern in our June 30, 2005 annual audited financial statements due to our significant operating losses incurred since inception and our working capital deficit. We rely on loans and private sales of equity to maintain liquidity. Our capital resources include private stock sales and cash advances from principal shareholders.
Our cash balance at June 30, 2005 increased $525,147 from $26,063 to $551,210 as of September 30, 2005. The increase was mainly due to the proceeds from the issuance of a note payable of $1,000,000, offset by cash used for the payments of existing loans and negative cash flows from operations of $430,321. Negative cash flows from operations consisted primarily of our $1,155,897 net loss, and an increase in accounts payable and accruals of $97,812.
Until we establish profitable operations, our sources of liquidity will continue to be notes payable, shareholder loans and common stock sales. Our Internet service provider operations incurred a net loss of approximately $9,350 during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and are not expected to provide operating cash in the foreseeable future.
The Company's future success will be dependent upon its ability to create and provide effective and competitive automatic vehicle location services and the Company's ability to develop and provide new services that meet customers changing requirements; including the effective use of leading technologies to continue to enhance its current services and to influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes on a timely and cost-effective basis. There can be no assurance that we will achieve these goals.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
We reported a net loss of ($2,561,085) or ($.14) per share, for the year ended June 30, 2005. Our fiscal 2004 net loss included $710,131 in research and development costs related to Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) line of business. The net loss includes a charge for impairment of goodwill of $369,039 and $332,450 in stock based compensation. We occasionally compensate our officers, directors, consultants and attorneys for their services with common stock grants in order to save our cash. Our accounting policy is to record the stock-based compensation at the fair value of the stock issued based on quoted market prices at the time the services were performed. As a result, we take a non-cash charge to our earnings each time we issue stock in lieu of cash payments.
In fiscal 2005, our operating unit was our subsidiary Rover Telcom, acquired on July 1, 2002. Rover Telcom is a local business-to-business Internet service provider. Internet service revenue was $471,477 and 339,272 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in revenues of $132,205 or 39% is mainly due to increased sales and marketing activities.
Costs of services, consisting of Internet connectivity charges, totaled $227,432 and $194,199 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase of $33,233 or 17% is mainly due to the increase in Internet service revenue.
The gross profit for 2005 was $244,045 as compared to $145,073 for 2004. The increase in gross profit of $98,972 or 68% is due to the increase in Internet service revenue without a comparable increase in cost of services.
Operating expenses decreased by $963,551 from $3,712,816 in 2004 to $2,749,265 in 2005. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in stock compensation expense of $1,499,645, a decrease in research and development costs of $120,095 and a decrease in termination of merge costs of $49,077. These decreases were partially offset by an overall increase in general and administrative charges of $317,622 and a charge for impairment of goodwill of $369,039. These changes were mainly due to the transition of the Company from a Research and Development as it commercializes its technology.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
In fiscal 2005, our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs came from loans from principal shareholders and common stock sales. Principal shareholder advanced us approximately $11,800 and we raised approximately $165,000 through our stock sales. In fiscal 2004, our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs came from loans from principal shareholders and common stock sales. Principal shareholders advanced us approximately $102,000 and we raised approximately $995,000 through our stock sales. Until we establish profitable operations, our sources of liquidity will continue to be shareholder loans and common stock sales. Our Internet service provider operations broke even in fiscal 2005 and 2004 and are not expected to provide operating cash in the foreseeable future.
Financial condition
Current assets
Current assets increased from $56,652 at June 30, 2004 to $83,467 at June 30, 2005.
17
Property and equipment
Property and equipment decreased from $208,805 at June 30, 2004 to $174,500 at June 30, 2005. Provisions for depreciation in fiscal 2004 and 2005 were $43,703 and $81,779, respectively. Net property additions were $177,647 in fiscal 2004 and $28,434 in fiscal 2005.
Goodwill
Goodwill consisted of an amount recorded with the acquisition of SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica in April 2004 ($69,300) and the acquisition of Interim Corporate Resources, LLC in December 2003 ($252,000) and the goodwill recorded by Rover with the acquisition of Net Asset in April 2002 ($117,039). In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 142, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment once a year. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company sold SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica and recorded an impairment of goodwill of $69,300. The Company also tested the impairment of the goodwill related to the acquisitions of Interim Corporate Resources, LLC and Net Asset and determined that $369,039 should be recorded as a loss due to the impairment of goodwill.
Accounts payable, accrued salaries and other accrued liabilities
These amounts represent vendor and employee obligations.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue decreased from $62,962 at June 30, 2004 to $36,909 at June 30, 2005. Deferred revenue represents Internet service revenue collected in advance and funds received in advance for AVL operations. Substantially all of this revenue will be recognized in fiscal 2005.
Loan payable to related party
Related party loans decreased from $247,800 at June 30, 2004 to $11,800 at June 30, 2005 and represents net cash advances received from related parties. In fiscal 2004, related parties advanced approximately $102,120 to us for operations. In fiscal 2005, related parties advanced the Company approximately $65,362 and the Company repaid $44,000, the Company also converted $242,251 of these notes into convertible debentures.
Our strategy in the near future is to focus on developing our Wireless Technology business.
We have incurred losses since inception and have an accumulated deficit. Without additional infusions of capital, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the past, the primary source of working capital has been loans from our principal shareholder, Gary Brown and from, the sale of common stock through private placements. We have no commitment from Mr. Brown to provide future working capital or that the Company will be successful in selling additional shares of its stock.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we had a net loss of $2,561,085 and operating activities was a net user of cash in the amount of $791,259. Financing activities was a net provider of cash in the amount of $762,667. The largest source of financing activities that provided cash in fiscal 2005 was the proceeds from notes payable. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we had a net loss of $3,575,466 and operating activities was a net user of cash in the amount of $963,605. Financing activities was a net provider of cash in the amount of $1,097,565. The largest source of financing activities that provided cash in fiscal 2004 were advances from related parties.
As of June 30, 2005, we had no contractual capital commitments outstanding.
18
In the event that future operating cash flows do not meet all our cash requirements, we will need additional financing. Success in raising additional financing is dependent upon our ability to demonstrate that we can fulfill our business strategy, which is highly speculative. Should we need additional financing through debt or equity placements, there is no assurance that such financing will be available, if at all, at terms acceptable to the Company. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of equity securities, stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest and these securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt, we may be subject to certain limitations on our operations, including limitations on the payment of dividends. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to pursue our business strategy, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We expect losses from operations and negative cash flow to continue for the foreseeable future. The rate at which these losses will be incurred may increase from current levels. If our revenue does not increase and if our spending levels are not adjusted accordingly, we may not generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability, which would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our working capital requirements depend on numerous factors. We anticipate incurring additional expenses to increase our infrastructure development. In addition, we will continue to evaluate possible investments in businesses, products and technologies.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounting for impairment of long-lived assets, and accounting for research and development expenses.
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when earned, in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 with Respect to Certain Transactions and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Interpretive Guidance on Revenue Recognition. Royalties based upon licensees' revenues or usage are recognized as licensees' revenues are earned or usage occurs. Maintenance and subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Revenue attributable to significant undelivered elements is recognized over the contract period as elements are delivered. Revenues from fixed-price service contracts and software development contracts requiring significant production, modification, or customization are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue from service contracts that are based on time incurred is recognized as work is performed.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as intellectual property are recorded at cost and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should the Company determine that a long-lived asset is impaired, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Research and Development Costs - The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. SFAS No. 86 specifies that costs incurred internally in creating a computer software product should be charged to expense when incurred as research and development until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs should be capitalized until the product is available for release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when the technological feasibility of a product is established. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is reached shortly before the products are released. Costs incurred after technological feasibility is established are not material, and accordingly, the Company expenses all research and development costs when incurred.
19
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement covers restructuring type activities beginning with plans initiated after December 31, 2002. Activities covered by this standard that are entered into after that date will be recorded in accordance with provisions of SFAS No. 146. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement amends Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting", to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. SFAS 148 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company will continue to account for stock-based employee compensation using the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but has adopted the enhanced disclosure requirements of SFAS 148.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. Most provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily-redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities, if applicable. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The adoption of this statement did have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a significant impact on the Company' results of operations or financial position.

BUSINESS
Business Development

Acquisition of SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica S.A.
On November 28, 2003, the Company entered into a definitive Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Gustavo A. Yepes (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Yepes agreed to transfer and convey to the Company shares representing an aggregate of 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DirectCom, S.A., a Costa Rican corporation.
Subsequent to entering into the Purchase Agreement, DirectCom, S.A. undertook a reorganization under the terms of a Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") between Mr. Yepes, IdNet, S.A., a Costa Rican corporation, and Inversiones Sinalco, S.A., also a Costa Rican corporation. Under the Joint Venture Agreement, DirectCom, S.A. reorganized and changed its name to SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. ("SkyLynx Costa Rica") in contemplation of the consummation of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company would acquire 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SkyLynx Costa Rica.
Effective April 30, 2004, the reorganization of SkyLynx Costa Rica was completed and Mr. Yepes transferred to the Company shares representing 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SkyLynx Costa Rica, thus consummating the Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, the Company issued to Yepes, in escrow, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock in consideration of the shares of SkyLynx Costa Rica.
SkyLynx Costa Rica is the legal entity formed to implement the provisions of the Joint Venture Agreement under which the Company acquired 75% of the outstanding shares, IdNet acquired 20% of the outstanding shares and Inversiones Sinalco acquired 5% of the outstanding shares of SkyLynx Costa Rica.
Subsequent to executing the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Yepes was appointed Vice President, Latin American Operations, of the Company and has been serving as President of SkyLynx Costa Rica. He is responsible for implementing the Company's Costa Rican deployment and network operations.
Sale of SkyLynx Costa Rica
SkyLynx Costa Rica secured exclusive rights to tower sites strategically located throughout the country. It subsequently deployed and successfully tested its wireless broadband network in certain regions of Cost Rica. The next phase was to build out the balance of the infrastructure and begin to market its services to hotels, hospitals and other commercial customers. The anticipated cost to complete this phase was significant. In the meantime, SkyLynx had deployed its wireless data network for beta testing in two domestic markets. Based on the initial success of those tests, and considering the investment to build out the balance of the infrastructure in Costa Rica, it was determined that the company's investment was better used for the deployment of its proprietary wireless data network and the pursuit of other strategic acquisitions. Therefore, on April 19, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of its shares of capital stock of its subsidiary, SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. On April 21, 2005 the Company completed the sale of its interest in SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. to OrbiLynx Communications, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement the Company sold all the outstanding shares of SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. that it owned for $300,000. The payment consisted of $61,497 in cash, $188,503 in forgiveness or assumption of Company liabilities and a $50,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 5% per year and has a two-year term.
The President of OribLynx Communications, Inc. is Gustavo A. Yepes. From December 2003 through the closing, Mr.Yepes was employed by the Company as the Vice President - Latin American Operations. Of the $188,503 forgiveness or assumption of Company liabilities, $169,017 was owed to Mr. Yepes for unpaid salaries and un-reimbursed cash advances made by Mr. Yepes for operations in Costa Rica. The Company paid the balance to Mr. Yepes. Mr. Yepes resigned from the Company effective with the closing.

SkyLynx Wireless Network:
Qualifying the Need for the SkyLynx Wireless Solution
As technology has advanced, capturing data and controlling equipment in remote locations has become both practical and cost effective. The applications that could benefit through the use of this remote data are almost endless. Commercial applications such as vehicle and asset tracking, alarm monitoring, and industrial controls are just a few examples. Tomorrow, there will be even more commercial applications to consider, all requiring data to refine process control, productivity and safety. What may seem like science fiction today, we have seen become commonplace overnight. The technology to gather this data is available and cost effective now; however, the challenge is in the transfer of data from point to point. In most cases it is not feasible to run wires to a remote location, especially if the remote location is a mobile one. The only alternative is to transfer data through some wireless medium. Dedicated radio transmissions work only over a limited distance, unless a repeater is used. This type of system can work in some applications where the remote units are static, but if they travel over any significant distance, it quickly becomes impractical. Satellite systems are very expensive to operate and have limitations in 2-way data communications, which also makes them impractical for most common commercial data applications. Cellular systems provide a "hand off" from one cellular site to another. This has helped to make cellular systems the de facto standard for the transfer of data. There are severe limitations in using cellular voice networks as a backbone for commercial data applications since they were specifically designed for voice traffic. For instance, how often are cellular voice calls dropped? If we miss a word or two, we can always ask the other person to repeat the sentence, or fill in those blanks by making an educated guess. With data, once a connection is lost, the data flow stops. The connection has to be reestablished and, in most cases, the data transmission must begin again. In many remote locations, cellular service does not exist at all; so many applications are confined to metropolitan areas only where the cellular coverage is concentrated. As the traffic increases on a particular cellular site, the radius of its coverage shrinks, this is called "cellular breathing". When this happens, there are gaps in coverage between the cells. The result is predictable; more dropped calls and lost data. Voice takes substantially more bandwidth than data and in a cellular network, and the voice traffic always has priority. In an emergency or a natural disaster, the systems become so crowded, the entire network collapses, such as it did in NY on 9/11, or in Florida during the hurricanes. This means many critical emergency services using a cellular system for data communications will no longer have access to their data. To increase the revenue base, cellular providers are now transmitting broadband and even streaming video over the same crowded cellular networks, adding to the magnitude of the problem. The cost to transmit data over a cellular network with a constant connection, or polling the remote unit every few seconds, makes many applications cost prohibitive. The need existed for a dedicated wireless data network that can provide ubiquitous (or complete) coverage, that has no voice or consumer traffic, is cost effective to operate and use, reliable with easy interface. Such a network would have the potential for millions of commercial users, thus qualifying the need for the SkyLynx Wireless Data Network.
The SkyLynx Wireless Data Network Solution - General:
SkyLynx has developed a proprietary data network designed specifically to transmit the type of data used to monitor the location, status and to control remote equipment. This data network has a number of unique properties that distinguish it from any other wireless network. The data is carried on a low frequency FM network.
This particular frequency range was selected for our application because it has several key properties. First, the relatively low frequency band has greater coverage than the higher frequency bands commonly found in cellular phone applications. Second, the frequency will follow the curvature of the earth. This provides additional range because the radio waves are not traveling straight, eventually out into the atmosphere.
Third, the frequency tends to penetrate obstacles that normally would "block" or "shadow" the signal used in other "line-of-sight" frequency sets. This is important in dense metropolitan areas where building would normally interfere with coverage. The same is true in areas with dense foliage, hills and terrain that "shadow" the signal, preventing reliable data communication. Fourth, these frequencies are not currently used, or in demand. This means that SkyLynx can obtain the use of these frequencies in virtually any market for only a nominal charge. Licenses for other higher frequencies can be very costly and difficult to obtain. Finally, the frequency is less susceptible to interference from other transmissions. This interference is commonly referred to as "noise". Noise can be a source of data corruption and thus, is a major consideration.
23
The SkyLynx Radio Modem:
SkyLynx has developed a radio modem, which converts data into "packets" of information then transmits this data over the SkyLynx network. It also receives "packets" of information from the network and converts the data back to its original format. This is important because it allows the customer to interface virtually any type of equipment to the radio modem via a serial connection or an Ethernet port. The SkyLynx radio modem handles all of the data conversion. The radio modem also has the ability to transfer batch "broadband" data files via Wi-Fi connection while in a "hot spot". This is a valuable feature for mobile applications because it allows units to download logged data automatically when returning at the end of a shift for example. SkyLynx can also update system software and firmware via this Wi-Fi interface. This interface is carried out without the need to connect any cables. The radio modem can detect interference on the current frequency and automatically change to another less affected frequency. An optional Mobile Data Terminal can be added to display messages, status, etc. as a user interface.
Base Station:
The data is transmitted between a remote unit and the "base station". These base stations consist of a rack of equipment including the radio, a frame relay, power supplies as well as backup power supplies. The base stations are normally collocated at existing tower sites with other similar equipment. The antenna is mounted on the tower. One base station has the equivalent coverage of approximately one hundred cellular towers. The cost of one base station is approximately $15,000, including installation. The cost to deploy the SkyLynx network, therefore, is a fraction of other competitive systems such as cellular. Each base station has the capacity to handle many thousands of users. Additional base station radios and be added in existing racks at the tower site, expanding the capacity exponentially with only incremental cost. A frame relay is connected to the base station radio interfacing it to the SkyLynx Network Operation Center.
Network Operations Center:
Frame relays connected to each of the base stations are terminated at the Network Operations Center. This center acts as a "clearing house" for the data. As the data is passed through the network operations center it is either encoded or decoded. The coding includes encryption algorithms that secure the data from any potential tampering. The data is supplied to the end user either through a dedicated line that can be interfaced directly to a supervisor control program or a computer aided dispatch system, or it can be accessed by the end user through a secure SkyLynx web site. If a customer supplies the specifications for the protocols used by their systems, SkyLynx can develop the drivers to interface its network seamlessly.

(see figure 1.0 for system diagram)
Flexibility
The SkyLynx Wireless Data Network can interface to any traditional cellular based network for the purpose of delivering data to the customer through a dedicated line or through a web based interface. In essence, in this case, SkyLynx Wireless can act as a "back room" or "call center" for its customer. Applications can range from position reporting over a secure web site to monitoring and support services such as On Star.
The Market
Industry Segments:
The market for the SkyLynx wireless data network can be divided into the following major segments or categories with a brief description of specific applications. Each would enjoy substantial benefits using the network:
* |
|
Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)- This category includes First Response Groups (Police, Fire and Ambulance) as well as commercial users, such as trucking fleets. AVL provides a tracking, monitoring and data-exchange system for their fleet of vehicles. Location and status information can be displayed directly on a map through a Computer Aided Dispatch program at the Customer's operations center. By knowing precisely where units are and their status, fleets can be managed more efficiently with quicker response. |
* |
|
Telematics - Telematics is the use of wireless data transmission to monitor or control remote devices, equipment, or vehicles between the mobile device and a fixed point. A prime example of Telematics is increasing the horsepower of an over-the-road truck as it approaches a mountain range automatically, giving the extra power it needs, then, reducing the horsepower once it has crossed the mountains to save fuel; without the driver even being aware of the change. The trucks location is monitored and controlled from a central, remote location. Maintenance information related to the vehicle operation can also be transmitted and collected. When the driver reaches his next stop, service would already be scheduled and the necessary parts would be dispatched and available rather than experiencing a part failure in an inconvenient location and suffering substantial down time. |
* |
|
Telemetry - The transfer of data between two fixed positioned locations. This would typically include applications such as reading residential or commercial utility meters, plus providing load shed control to save energy consumption during peak periods. Other applications can include measuring the inventory of a vending machine to determine when the machine needs to be serviced as well as the mix of products required. By time and date stamping the purchase, patterns can be tracked and the machine stocked with the optimum product mix given the time of the year, temperature, and buying cycle, thus maximizing the return on the vending machine. |
|
|
|
25 | ||
* |
|
Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA)- SCADA is a part of automated process control system that provides monitoring and the remote control of devices such as opening and closing valves, monitoring levels, flow, temperature, just to site a few examples. Each day on your way to work, you most likely pass several lift stations, used in wastewater collection. You do not see them, because they are underground. Each one of those lift stations normally has three or more pumps. Each pump must be monitored as well as the level of wastewater in the holding tank. If there is a pump malfunction, another pump can be started, then, a maintenance crew can be dispatched. Without the proper monitoring and control, sewage overflows would most likely happen. A reasonable size metropolitan area can have 15,000 lift stations or more. Each industrial plant you also see on your way to work will have hundreds of points they are monitoring and controlling using SCADA. You can get a sense for the potential volume just through your daily travels. |
* |
|
Location Based Services- Other applications the network can support include Location Based Services (LBS), which relate information relevant to mobile users such as; roadside assistance to motorists, remote data collection such as weather reports, road conditions, traffic bottlenecks, location of fueling stations, restaurants, movie theatres, ATM or points of interest etc., navigation assistance, and even instructions for troubleshooting or repair. |
The Revenue Model:
SkyLynx will receive its revenue through the sale of its radio modem as well as residual income from ongoing network usage. The monthly rate structure is based on usage with three primary revenue groups: high, medium and low usage categories. The high usage group includes the Unlimited National Plan at $75.00 per month (typical applications would be Ambulance Services). The medium usage group includes the Silver Plan at $35.00 per month (typical applications would be fleet monitoring). The low usage group is the LynxLite plan at $15.00 per month or lower (typical examples are Alarm or Exception Monitoring). The Customer will sign a 3 or 4-year contract for services, giving the Company firm future revenue visibility. As an alternative to the capital expenditure for the equipment, SkyLynx can offer a leasing option. In most cases the equipment and ongoing network cost can be easily justified and provide the customer with a handsome, return on their investment.
Each channel, with an average mix of customers, has the capacity to generate up to $800,000 in annual revenue. Adding additional channels can increase revenue. Each additional channel can add another $800,000 in revenue.
The Costs:
Base stations are located at existing tower sites. The SkyLynx antenna is co-located on a tower with other users. These towers can be located in rural areas or even on the top of a building. The cost to install a base station is approximately $15,000. The ongoing cost to operate a base station is under $1,500 per month, which includes tower rental and frame relay cost. The base station radio and its associated equipment are mounted in a rack in the equipment room at the tower site. To add another base station, increasing capacity, requires only the cost of the radio and its associated equipment. It can simply be mounted in the empty space in the rack and in most cases can use the same antenna. The cost to add an additional radio and associated gear is around $5,000. The radio spectrum or frequency is divided into channels, similar to your radio dial. Each base station radio supports one channel. The antenna can support up to 15 channels or base stations. A typical metropolitan area can be served with 100% coverage using three locations or base stations, on an average. A SkyLynx base station can be installed and operational in approximately 90 days. This means an entire metropolitan area can be covered in a very short period of time.
Initial Deployment:
The SkyLynx network was beta tested for over a year with outstanding success. The Company has now begun commercial deployment in four markets: Seattle/Tacoma, WA, Denver/Aurora, CO, Salem, OR, and Orlando, FL. This geographic area covers over 3 1/4 million people. SkyLynx currently has the second largest ambulance service provider under contract in the above markets. By using AVL, the customer can interface each ambulance in the field to their Computer Aided Dispatch systems. This can have a significant impact on their business by allowing them to:
26
|
* |
|
Respond to emergency calls much quicker, with less equipment in the field. |
|
* |
|
Avoid costly fines from their municipal customers due to slow call response. |
|
|||
|
* |
|
Participate in municipal contracts that require AVL and CAD implementation. |
|
|||
|
* |
|
Have future capabilities to transmit patient data and accident scene photos via a secure network. |
Payback:
Even with the cost of the equipment and ongoing monthly charges of $75 per unit, they receive a return in a matter of a few months. Many municipalities charge a fine for late response, each minute an ambulance is past a maximum response time it can cost the service as much as $100.00 per minute. By analyzing traffic patterns and more effectively managing their fleet, they can dramatically improve response time. This not only saves them money, but it can save the lives of patients as well. The quickest unit to a scene may not always be the closest due to one-way streets and traffic congestion. By using their resources more effectively, an ambulance service can also cover up to 300% more area with the same equipment. Other First Responders can benefit in the same way. Customers such as this are technology savvy and have researched all other alternatives. Based on exhaustive study, they chose the SkyLynx solution, even though initially SkyLynx was a development stage company, because the solution was far superior to any alternative network. Based on this success, SkyLynx has begun its marketing efforts by targeting AVL and First Responders.Ambulance Services: There are approximately 40,000-45,000 ambulances operating in the U.S. The largest operator in the country is AMR; the second largest ambulance operator is Rural/Metro Corporation. The Driscoll industry report estimates 15% of ambulances are equipped with AVL systems. While some are stand-alone systems, many are integrated with Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems. AVL provides major benefits to the industry, including:
|
* |
|
Improved response time |
|
|||
|
* |
|
Efficient deployment of response units |
|
|||
|
* |
|
Fleet management |
|

|
* |
|
Non-public secure data communications |
|

|
Future enhancements in technology to increase patient care including patient data transfer to hospitals |
AVL Market Statistics:
The AVL market has matured and is relatively easy to quantify at this point. This in buy no means the only market that SkyLynx serves.
Based on the 2003 report by C.J. Driscoll & Associates, the Total Available Market for AVL is approximately 22 million units, with less than 5% currently equipped with AVL. The AVL market is highly fragmented with approximately 150-200 AVL suppliers, most only selling the equipment. These equipment suppliers must use conventional terrestrial or satellite networks. We believe that SkyLynx can offer an attractive alternative to these networks by providing unique data communications using VHF frequencies that will cover larger geographic regions without interruption. The Wi-Fi capabilities of the product add additional flexibility other systems cannot offer.
Opportunities for SCADA, Telemetry and Telematics greatly outnumber that of AVL.
The Driscoll study concluded that while awareness of AVL systems remain low in today's commercial fleet operators, many municipalities as well as the federal government have done extensive studies on the benefits of AVL systems.
Competition:
The closest thing to a universal standard for data is Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), a digital overlay scheme that is imposed on analog AMPS networks maintained by cellular carriers but not PCS operators. CDPD messages, which share voice circuits with voice transmissions and occupy intervals of silence within those transmissions, cannot (by design) encroach upon voice capacity and thus cannot overload a network - but they are strictly limited to a maximum throughput speed of 9.6 kbps. The migration to 3G (CDMA or GSM) is now becoming a reality, CDPD seems certain to play a diminishing role in mobile data.
27
The move towards higher bandwidth capabilities has really been targeted at the cellular industry's sweet spot - individual customers who require voice and may now want to transmit pictures, video downloads, Web surfing and downloading ring tones. Should they succeed in enticing their installed base to use these services; the amount of bandwidth available for the business user will be negatively impacted. It should also be noted that it is a matter of physics - the higher the bandwidth, the less coverage. Couple this with a weakness called cell breathing (increasing the load on an individual cell site reduces the coverage area) and SkyLynx's technology presents a strong case to the business market.
The three competing air interfaces for digital cellular and PCS (CDMA (IS-95), TDMA (IS-136) and GSM) support session-based data transmission over voice circuits, which mean that an entire voice channel is occupied through the duration of the data transmission. Such circuit data schemes are inefficient because most data transmissions do not require a continuously open circuit due to their inherent nature; i.e., data is sent in bursts.
There are only a few Wireless Data Network (WDN) providers in relation to the many Value Added Resellers (VARs). The WDN providers fall into three broad categories, terrestrial-based networks, satellite-based networks and multimode.
The Company's primary competitors will be within the cellular and satellite industries. Whereas both technologies have their respective strengths, they each also possess distinct disadvantages that can be exploited.
Cellular Technology:
The industry movement towards 3G technology (the next generation of cellular technology) in the cellular market provides a greater bandwidth for data transmission. The typical cell tower has a radius range of 3-5 miles (heavier traffic on a cell site tends to cause what is called cell breathing which will reduce the area served by that location). The inherent nature of the technology requires many expensive cell towers to service a small area. Due to their operating frequency and the cost to upgrade their networks, this serves to play to SkyLynx strengths for vehicle tracking and the need for more remote communications. (The cost to deploy and service a cell network directs their service towards a more typical population centric deployment versus geographic centric.) Furthermore the proliferation of 802.11 hotspots (wireless networks designed for localized service such as a building or the immediate vicinity) in the metro areas and at remote locations such as truck stops will serve to negate or minimize this advantage. Operating at a lower frequency extends the range served by any of the Company's base station sites up to an 80-mile radius. Vehicle tracking and data transmissions can still be effectuated even though there is a greater distance involved due to the ability of the Company's radio to use a lower frequency.
Satellite Technology:
Satellites provide for a wide area of communications. Whereas they were initially designed with voice communications in mind, they can support an acceptable data transmission speed. However, due to the nature of sending a signal from outer space to earth, they are very susceptible to impediments such as mountains, buildings and trees. All of which serve to limit their ability to meet a given application. Additionally, these products are high in price due to the major investment required to launch and maintain a satellite.

The Objective:
The business model is to provide customers with ubiquitous network coverage over a national footprint by, over time, deploying approximately 3,000 base stations across the country. This is feasible because:
|
* |
|
The SkyLynx base station can be co-located on existing tower sites. |
|
|||
|
* |
|
The SkyLynx base station has a range of approximately 80 miles vs. cellular at 5 to 8 miles. |
|
|||
|
* |
|
To cover the same area as one SkyLynx base station, you would need about 100 cellular sites. |
|
|||
|
* |
|
The SkyLynx base station costs approximately $15,000, a fraction of a cellular site. |
This deployment would provide seamless coverage even while traveling in remote locations. Industrial applications are often found in remote regions, including mining and oil production. The SkyLynx network can offer the only viable solution to their data communications requirements.
Sales Strategy
The SkyLynx radio modems should be treated as a long-term product or capital investment. As such, multi-year contracts for network service are reasonable. We consider our approach to be one of a "Complex Sale", strategic and technical in nature. Because of the special market characteristics (business justification in nature), our sales strategy will include collateral material such as Compact Discs and Video Tapes showing the technical attributes and advantages of the product. Training CDs will also be produced for the sales personnel to accomplish initial training and refreshers on technical attributes and sales techniques. Lead generation will be accomplished through the use of databases, corporate directories, telemarketing and direct mailing programs. Contact Management programs will be employed to ensure lead follow through from initial identification to closing the order.

The overall sales cycle can be broken down as follows:
|
|
|
Phase 1 - |
|
Opportunity Creation |
Phase 2 - |
|
Development of Account Sales Strategy |

|
Follow Up, Chart Progress, Applications Support, Quote (or Bid) |
Phase 4 - |
|
Price Negotiation, Closing, Submittals (if required) |
Phase 5 - |
|
Order Entry, Customer Service, Follow Up, Communication |
Phase 6 - |
|

Phase 7 - |
|
Ongoing Product Support, Service Contract, Identify Additional Sales Opportunities (Customer Retention) |
This program has been proven and is designed to dominate a market, beginning with a Customer (in this case our initial Ambulance Service Customer), moving to specific like-applications (Ambulance Services and other First Responders), then on to the broader industry segment within the market (Fleet operators, etc.). It is designed to be extremely aggressive to the competition while maintaining reasonable margins, even in the case where heavy discounts could be used by the competition. It requires a combination of resources, including experienced captive personnel specializing in sales management, applications, product and field service, customer service as well as outside resources such as Independent Representatives and other specific industry resources.
Distribution Channels
The SkyLynx marketing strategy incorporates plans to sell through several channels. A combination of direct sales to target accounts mixed with sales through Independent Manufacturer's Representatives and Service Providers will provide the base of coverage necessary to carry out the business plan, and to meet or exceed sales expectations. By partnering with companies that have an existing customer base and market exposure, market penetration can be expedited. There is ample margin in the network service to provide the seller (or dealer) with a residual revenue stream. Equipment sales, for them, represents a one time purchase, or at best case, end of life replacement equipment. Ongoing residual income will provide a significant incentive to focus their selling resources on a SkyLynx solution to their customer's data communications needs.
Homeland Security:
The SkyLynx data network is particularly well suited for applications supporting Homeland Security. With the ability to provide ubiquitous, or complete, coverage, hazardous materials can be monitored without interruption from source to destination. Also, perimeter security in sensitive installations can be monitored. The SkyLynx Network provides access to all branches of service and first responders in the event of an emergency via secure interface to the Internet. Interdepartmental communications has proven to be problematic in emergency events. These are just some examples of the market opportunity Homeland Security represents. SkyLynx Wireless will partner with companies providing technical security systems, taking full advantage of their customer base to gain entry to the market. These strategic partners will be providing site security to chemical and petroleum processing facilities. SkyLynx Wireless can provide the tracking of shipment of hazardous material to and from the plants, closing the loop on a complete security plan.
Rover Telcom dba NetAsset:
Qualifying the Need for NetAsset Services:
As use of the Internet increases, commercial users must compete for bandwidth with residential users. Residential use has multiplied as entertainment activities have become more popular such as streaming video, radio and television. Many Internet Service Providers concentrate on the number of subscribers rather than the quality of service. Commercial users, therefore, do not always have priority. NetAsset has positioned itself in the market as a Business-to-Business Internet Service Provider. NetAsset has no residential customers so it can concentrate on the specific demands of their commercial customer base.
The NetAsset Operations:
The NetAsset facility is located in Fresno, CA. The operations center includes the business office as well as the equipment racks necessary to house the termination of connections. NetAsset negotiates for bulk services from providers such as SBC and Qwest. From these bulk services, NetAsset provides users with T-1 or fractional T-1 service. The network operations are monitored and maintained continuously to provide the most reliable level of services.
31
NetAsset Services:
NetAsset provides the following services to its commercial customer base:
Development:
NetAsset provides a number of developments services including Intranet Design, Database Design, Web Design, and E-Commerce Design. These are all services geared to the commercial customer.
* |
|
Intranet ties the customer's internal resources together, providing seamless communications and files sharing. |
|
||
* |
|
Most every commercial customer manages their business using databases that contain critical information. Access to this information is essential in timely management of the business and in fully exploiting market opportunities. NetAsset can design databases that can be accessed via the Internet, allowing the sharing of critical information between employees, customers and prospective customers. Examples include the access to online pricing, order status, contact management, etc. |
|
||
* |
|
Today, any organization involved in commercial activity is expected to have a web presence. NetAsset can help companies by updating their current web site, or creating a new web site. Each Web Site design must reflect the needs of the customer. Ease in navigation, content and aesthetics are all critical elements. The design of the site can also determine how long a site will take to load on the viewer's computer. NetAsset has an excellent track record in providing Web presence that will meet or exceed the needs of its customers. |
|
||
* |
|
E-Commerce is a relatively recent development in Internet function and has grown exponentially, literally opening a new chapter in commerce. Now a business can allow its customers to browse through their products or services, even purchase them and checkout without the need for salespeople, and a facility. To develop a successful E-Commerce presence requires experience and attention to detail, all NetAsset strengths. |
Co-Location:
Co-location is ideal for businesses who are seeking a presence on the Internet but do not wish to pay the expenses of setting up a Network Operations Center (N.O.C.). Co-location accounts include enough physical space to locate 5 2U machines in our smallest rack space or up to 14 2U machines in a full cabinet. Co-location is ideal for high-traffic web sites, on-line databases and points of presence (POP) sites.

Access:
NetAsset specializes in connecting Local Area Networks (LAN) to the Internet, particularly in always on connections so that the Internet becomes a true extension of the desktop. That familiar long wait for a modem to connect and handshake is eliminated. The Internet connection now waits in the background and allows the Customer's computer to automatically check mail while they are busy on other applications. Browsing and file downloading become much faster as well.
NetAsset uses multiple telephone companies to maximize performance at minimal costs. In many cases NetAsset can connect all of its Customer's employees and still reduce their overall costs even if they have only 2 or 3 modem connections. Many business owners fail to realize that the per minute charges of standard business telephone lines combined with the slow download speeds of modems can result in very expensive telephone bills. The majority of Net Asset's connections are dedicated circuits that allow unlimited access with NO additional telephone charges and NO hidden charges, so they get one flat rate bill.
Nearly all NetAsset customers operate business LAN's, and many have similar needs. Issues such as firewall security, virtual private networks and email servers are common to most of our customers. Whether they operate Windows NT, peer-to-peer or other networks, the NetAsset trained staff can answer questions and offer custom solutions to maximize the effectiveness of their Internet usage.
Email is still the most popular Internet application in the business world. NetAsset can host mail on its mail servers or route mail to the Customer's existing server.
Product Strategy:
NetAsset provides the following packages of service to its commercial customer base:
NetAsset Digital Network (NADN)
NetAsset offers its Digital Network as the practical solution for most Fresno businesses that may otherwise pay costly access charges for digital access. NADN is the perfect package for the small business office. NetAsset answered the requests of many local businesses to create a flat rate ISDN package that supplies local business with the solutions for their Internet requirements. We combine a network access connection, web site hosting, email service, and even the local telephone company connection in one service bundle. NetAsset supplies the access, routing and coordinates with multiple local telephone companies to deliver a dedicated digital connection to the Customer's LAN. NetAsset optimize ISDN technology to deliver a data only circuit that is dedicated to serving only Internet needs. NetAsset then provides mail solutions at no additional charge. It can host mail for a limited number of users on its own servers or allow nearly unlimited throughput to its Customer's mail server. NetAsset includes web site hosting for most basic web sites; however, some very large or special application web sites may incur additional charges.
DSL
The "Broadband Revolution" is changing the way people use the Internet. Unfortunately, broadband Internet access has not traditionally been available to small and midsize towns and cities. Residences and businesses located in small and midsize cities were left to languish with slow, ineffective dial-up Internet access. NetAsset is bridging this digital divide, making high-speed DSL Internet access available to California. NetAsset understands that the Internet is an integral tool for success, and businesses without high-speed access are at a distinct disadvantage in today's competitive marketplace. NetAsset is now offering DSL service powered by SBC. With NetAsset DSL, the Internet will become a more powerful tool for business. DSL Transport Services are provided by SBC Advanced Solutions, Inc.
33
T1: For Mission-Critical Access
T1 High speed lines offer reliable, high-capacity Internet connections for businesses and high traffic web sites. If a business can't afford to have its Internet connections go down, T1 service is the best option. With bandwidth from 256kbps to 1.5mbps, NetAsset T1 High speed lines can put an entire company online, with web browsing and email for all of its users. A business can use it to host a busy company website on its own in-house server as well. Net Asset's T1 service comes with 256kbps or 512kbps fractional, and full 1.5mbps plans, offering lower cost options that still give plenty of bandwidth as well as the full T1 service. NetAsset T1 service is flat rate, meaning the Customer never has to pay extra charges. All charges from NetAsset and the Telco vendor are defined up front. Included with the T-1 package are the following features:
* |
|
Guaranteed Full 1.544Mb connection up and downstream |
|
||
* |
|
24/7 monitoring and support by Net Asset's professional tech staff |
|
||
* |
|
No usage charges |

Strategic Partnerships:
NetAsset functions as a strategic partner to other SkyLynx Communications, Inc. subsidiaries, providing complimentary services.
34
For SkyLynx Wireless, NetAsset functions as its Network Operations Center. Frame relays from base stations are terminated at the NetAsset facility. The NetAsset operation provides Internet connectivity to interface the data highway to the end Customer. NetAsset monitors the network and interfaces with various service providers to ensure quality and reliability of service.
Selling Strategy:
NetAsset sells its services to commercial customers through a number of channels. Primarily, NetAsset has grown its business based on its reputation for quality service, through word of mouth. Many of Net Asset's long-time Customers are very loyal and have highly recommended NetAsset to other local businesses. Specific target Customers are called on in the immediate area. Medical facilities are a specific target in that NetAsset has a very successful track record in providing services to this industry segment. Mailings and local advertisements as well as telemarketing also provide additional opportunity creation. NetAsset anticipates doubling its sales over the next 12 months.
Subsequent Events:
On November 29, 2005,we executed a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("the Merger Agreement") between and among the Company, an acquisition subsidiary SkyLynx Acquisition Company ("SAC"), and Vetco Hospitals, Inc., a California corporation ("Vetco"). If consummated, the Merger Agreement would result in our acquisition of Vetco.
If the acquisition is completed, all issued and outstanding shares of VETCO common stock will be converted automatically into an aggregate of 1,000,000 SkyLynx Series A Convertible Preferred Stock having a Stated Value of $3.00 per share (the "Series A Preferred"). The number of shares of Series A Preferred to be issued to the VETCO shareholders shall be adjusted at the time of Closing such that the total number of shares of SkyLynx common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred (the "Conversion Stock") shall represent, at closing, 55% of the total issued and outstanding shares of SkyLynx common stock, on theclosing date, on a fully diluted basis, excluding shares of common stock issued or reserved for issuance to the Selling Securityholders.
Vetco has a long term business relationship with PETCO, a major pet products retailer, and in whose facilities its hospitals are located and where it offers its mobile vaccination clinics. Vetco intends to add new products and services including pet tracking. We provide an advanced wireless data network. One of the primary uses for the network is to provide the exact location of a mobile transceiver. SkyLynx can provide the network and the call center to support a pet tracking application. We believe that Vetco, through its relationship with PETCO, and with its extensive customer data base, can provide an instant sales and distribution channel for a SkyLynx tracking product.
On December 16, 2005, we executed a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Digital Computer Integration Corporation ("DCI"), Defense Technology Systems, Inc. and Zenon Maciekowicz as Shareholders of DCI (Shareholders). Under the terms of the agreement, if consummated, we will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DCI in exchange for 572,776 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 3,748,518 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. An aggregate of 3.5 million shares of the Series C Preferred Stock would be subject to an earn-out.
DCI is a sixteen year old company that specializes in systems integration. DCI has developed a diverse base of technology that can be configured to meet specific application requirements. These include rugged mobile computers used in military and first responder applications, an advanced stealth tracking device, capable of calculating an accurate location, even inside buildings, and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. All of these technologies can be used as building blocks to configure a total solution that will satisfy a demonstrated market demand. DCI's technology is compatible and complementary to that of SkyLynx. A business combination with DCI would provide economies through the reduction in common engineering, sales and marketing expense. DCI's rugged mobile computers are sold into the same first responder market in which SkyLynx is marketing its products. Packaging this rugged mobile computer and RFID technology with its AVL and wireless data network could, we believe, enhance our value to our customers. The stealth tracking technology developed by DCI can be repackaged, in a miniature form, for use in tracking children and pets. The business combination with Vetco provides a sales and distribution channel for a pet tracking product. SkyLynx can provide a call center to aid owners in finding lost or stolen pets.
35
Pending consummation of our acquisition of DCI, we have made working capital advances to DCI in the aggregate amount of $170,000. The advances are evidenced by promissory notes which, together with interest at the rate of 10% per annum, are payable at maturity dates of December 1, 2005 and February 1, 2006. The notes are secured by a UCC security interest in DCI's $2.8 million purchase order with L-3 Communications, Inc., including inventory, accounts receivable and proceeds.
The acquisitions of Vetco and DCI are subject to customary conditions, including the completion of due diligence and obtaining necessary corporate approvals. If consummated, of which there can be no assurance, the acquisitions would result in a change in control of SkyLynx.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a defendant in a civil action that was brought by OptiGate, Inc. currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Fresno Division, Civil Action No. 03 CE CG 03733, in which the Plaintiff is claiming damages arising from a breach of contract. The Company has filed a counterclaim in the matter. Subsequent to filing the case, the Plaintiff filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company plans to vigorously defend the case, which it believes to have no merit. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is remote.
Optigate v. Rover Telcom, Inc., (hereafter called "Rover"). OptiGate filed suit against Rover, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The claim asserts breach of contract by Rover. The amount claimed is $150,000 for the alleged breach. Rover has counterclaimed for damages, breach and that the contract is void from inception. After suit was filed, service had and pleadings filed by both parties, OptiGate filed for Chapter 7 proceedings in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of California. The U. S. Trustee has opened negotiations to settle the matter by offering to accept $100,000 and we have countered by offering $10,000 as this is the amount of legal fees we expect to incur in defending this matter. Any judgment we obtain is expected to be not collectable. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is remote.

Company Equity Incentive Plan
In 2004, the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of the Company approved amendments to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), increasing the number of shares authorized to be issued under the Plan by an additional 2,500,000 shares. The Incentive Plan allows the Company to grant incentive stock options non-qualified stock options and/or stock purchase rights and stock bonus awards (collectively "Rights") to officers, employees, former employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Options granted to eligible participants may take the form of Incentive Stock Options ("ISO's") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or options which do not qualify as ISO's ("Non-Qualified Stock Options" or "NQSO's"). As required by Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate fair market value (as defined by the Incentive Plan) of the Company's Common Stock (determined as of the date of grant of ISO) with respect to which ISO's granted to an employee are exercisable for the first time in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. The foregoing limitation does not apply to NQSO's. Rights to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock may also be offered under the Incentive Plan at a purchase price under terms determined by the Incentive Plan Administrator.
Either the Board of Directors (provided that a majority of Directors are "disinterested" can administer the Incentive Plan, or the Board of Directors may designate a committee comprised of Directors meeting certain requirements to administer the Incentive Plan. The Administrator will decide when and to whom to make grants, the number of shares to be covered by the grants, the vesting schedule, the type of awards and the terms and provisions relating to the exercise of the awards.
An aggregate of 1,240,457 shares of the Company's Common Stock have been issued under the Incentive Plan and an additional 2,500,000 shares are reserved for future issuance. As of the date of this report, there are no options or other awards outstanding under the Plan.

Employment agreements
All of our executive officers serve without written employment contracts, and would be considered "at-will" employees. We currently compensate our executive officers with the following base annual salaries:
Gary Brown |
$150,000 per year |
|
Steven Smith |
$200,000 per year |
|
Kenneth Marshall |
$75,000 per year |
Because of our lack of working capital, at least 50% of the foregoing base salaries have been accrued and unpaid.
Indemnification and limitation on liability of directors
Our Bylaws effectively provide that we shall, to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), as amended from time to time, indemnify all persons whom we may indemnify pursuant thereto. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation eliminate personal liability of our Directors to the full extent permitted by the DGCL, as amended from time to time.
The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its Directors and officers against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by a third party if such Directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Directors and officers in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant officers or Directors are reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
The DGCL also provides that a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a Director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a Director (i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for willful or negligent conduct in paying dividends or repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds or (iv) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provisions shall eliminate or limit the liability of a Director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.
We intend to obtain Directors' and officers' liability insurance policies covering certain liabilities of persons serving as officers and Directors and providing reimbursement to us for our indemnification of those persons; however, we have not yet done so.
We intend to enter into an Indemnification Agreement with each of our Directors and officers. The Indemnification Agreement will contain provisions that may require us, among other things, to indemnify our Directors and Officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as Directors or Officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature) and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that such indemnification provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as Directors and executive officers.

In October 2004, the Company obtained a term loan from a commercial lender in the amount of $500,000.

In consideration of those guarantees and collateral enhancements, the Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted Common Stock to each Alfredo Chang and Daniel J. Sullivan, a director and Chief Financial Officer, and the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock each to Robert Weiss, a director, and Joseph Roberts, a shareholder.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Securityholders are offering to sell up to 30,625,000 shares of our common stock, 20,625,000 shares of which they may acquire by converting notes and 10,000,000 shares of which they may acquire by exercising warrants. We are not registering the resale of the warrants. Under our agreements with the Selling Securityholders, we have also agreed to register an additional 30,625,000 shares of our common stock to cover possible future downward adjustments to the conversion price of the notes or exercise prices of the warrants under certain circumstances. None of the Selling Securityholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, except as noted below.
Effective August 2, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with four investors to sell an aggregate of up to $3 million in 8% convertible notes in a private offering. At the first closing, which occurred on August 2, 2005, we sold to the investors an aggregate of $1 million in convertible notes. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the investors are obligated to purchase an additional $1 million in notes upon the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The investors have agreed to purchase the final traunche of $1 million in convertible notes upon the registration statement being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each holder of notes has the option, exercisable at any time after the date of issuance, to convert the entire outstanding balance of principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on the notes into shares of our common stock. The conversion price initially was the lesser of (i) 60% of the Market Price of our common stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion or, (ii) $0.13 per share. Effective December 15, 2005, we entered into an agreement with the Selling Securityholders amending the convertible notes to provide that the conversion price will be the lesser of (i) 55% of the Market Price of our common stock during the 20 day trading period immediately preceding the date of conversion or (ii) $0.13 per share. In consideration of the amendment, the Selling Securityholders agreed to waive our default under our agreements caused by delays in filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
44
Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the notes accrues at the rate of 8% per annum and is payable quarterly, provided that the first six months of interest was prepaid at the first closing. The entire principal balance due under the notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on July 29, 2008 (the "Maturity Date").
Each investor also received and is entitled to receive, warrants exercisable for five years to purchase additional shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Investors are entitled to receive warrants exercisable to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 10 million shares of our common stock, pro rata. Warrants exercisable to purchase 3,333,333 shares were issued in the first closing which occurred on August 2, 2005; and additional warrants will be issued, pro rata, when each of the second and third $1 million traunches become due and payable. Each warrant is exercisable at any time, and from time to time, beginning on the date of issuance and ending five years from the date of issuance. Until exercised, the warrants grant to the holders no rights as shareholders of our company. Any warrants that remain unexercised after the expiration date shall be null, void and of no further legal force or effect. Investors in the offering and holders of the warrants shall be under no obligation to exercise the warrants. We cannot predict how many, if any, warrants will be exercised.
Under our agreements with the investors in the offering, we have agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act, all shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes and the warrants issued to the investors.
Our obligation to repay the convertible notes is secured by a first lien security interest in favor of the investors covering all of our tangible and intangible assets.
Both the convertible notes and warrants contain a provision that restricts the conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants if, upon such conversion or exercise, the holder of the note or warrant will own, in the aggregate, more than 4.99% of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
There is no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell the shares offered by this prospectus.
The following table sets forth:
* |
The name of the Selling Securityholders; |
|
* |
The number of shares of our common stock owned by the Selling Securityholders, including the number of shares that may be acquired upon conversion of notes and the exercise of the warrants held by the Selling Securityholders; |

|
* |
The percentage of the total shares outstanding that will be owned by the Selling Securityholders at the completion of this offering, if the Selling Securityholders sell all of the shares included in this prospectus. |

Broker-dealers or agents may purchase shares directly from the Selling Securityholders or sell shares to someone else on behalf of the Selling Securityholders. Broker-dealers may charge commissions to both the Selling Securityholders selling common stock, and purchasers buying shares sold by the Selling Securityholders. If a broker buys shares directly from a Selling Securityholder, the broker may resell the shares through another broker, and the other broker may receive compensation from the Selling Securityholder for the resale.
To the extent required by laws, regulations or agreements we have made, we will use our best efforts to file a prospectus supplement during the time the Selling Securityholders are offering or selling shares covered by this prospectus in order to add or correct important information about the plan of distribution for the shares.
In addition to any other applicable laws or regulations, Selling Securityholders must comply with regulations relating to distributions by Selling Securityholders, including Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Regulation M prohibits Selling Securityholders from offering to purchase or purchasing our common stock at certain periods of time surrounding their sales of shares of our common stock under this prospectus.
The Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act. If a Selling Securityholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer, he will be an underwriter.
Some states may require that registration, exemption from registration or notification requirements be met before the Selling Securityholders may sell their common stock. Some states may also require the Selling Securityholders to sell their common stock only through broker-dealers.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds when Selling Securityholders sell shares of common stock under this prospectus. We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. If we receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants, it will be used for general working capital purposes.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We are currently authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value Preferred Stock.
Common Stock
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record. Voting rights in the election of directors are not cumulative, and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of our common stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the directors.
The shares of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and are not subject to redemption or assessment. Subject to the preferences that may be granted to holders of Preferred Stock, each share of common stock is entitled to share ratably in distributions to stockholders and to receive ratably such dividends as we may declare. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to prior liquidation or other preference rights of holders of Preferred Stock, if any, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata those assets which are legally available for distribution to stockholders. The issued and outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorize issuance of a maximum of 10,000,000 preferred shares. The articles of incorporation give the board of directors the authority to divide the class of preferred shares into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series so established to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and those articles of incorporation in respect of, among other things, the number of preferred shares to constitute such series, and the distinctive designations thereof, the rate and preference of dividends, if any, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends are cumulative and the date from which any dividend shall accrue; whether preferred shares may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption; the liquidation preferences payable on preferred shares in the event of involuntary or voluntary liquidation; sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for redemption or purchase of preferred shares; the terms and conditions by which preferred shares may be converted, if the preferred shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion; and voting rights, if any.
47
Warrants
The Selling Securityholders who are investors in the $3 million convertible note offering have been, or may be, granted warrants exercisable to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The warrants contain provisions that prohibit the Selling Securityholder from exercising the warrants, if such exercise would result in the Selling Securityholder owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding stock at the time of exercise. Each warrant is exercisable for a period equal to 5 years from the date it was issued. The exercise price, number and kind of common shares to be received upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events such as stock splits, stock dividends or recapitalizations. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of either the warrants will not be entitled to participate in the distribution of our assets. In addition, holders of the warrants have no voting, preemptive, liquidation or other rights of shareholders, and no dividends will be declared on the warrants or the shares underlying the warrants.
Convertible Notes
The Selling Securityholders have purchased, and may purchase additional, convertible notes. The principal amount of the notes outstanding accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly. The notes are repayable, principal and accrued interest, on July 29, 2008. The notes contain a provision that prohibits the Selling Securityholder from converting the note if such conversion would result in the holder owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock at the time of such conversion. Our obligation to repay the notes is secured by a first lien security interest on all of our tangible and intangible assets. Holders of the notes have no voting, preemptive, or other rights of shareholders.
Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Law
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the "business combination" or the transaction in which the person became an "interested stockholder" is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own) 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., Denver, Colorado.
Indemnification
48
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware, any director, officer, employee or agent of us made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the former or present official of the person, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if certain standards are met. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Legal Matters
The law firm of Clifford L. Neuman, P.C. represents us as legal counsel. Mr. Neuman is the beneficial owner, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of 415,000 shares of common stock and 12% debentures convertible into an aggregate of 2,089,492 shares of common stock, subject to the limitation that such conversion must not result in Mr. Neuman owning, in the aggregate, more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares.

The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

The Company incurred net operating losses during the three months ended September 30, 2005 resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in $-0- income taxes.
NOTE 4: Note payable
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement providing for the issuance of 8% Callable Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock for the aggregate consideration of $3,000,000. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had issued convertible notes of $1,000,000 due July 29, 2008 that are convertible into approximately 30,303,303 shares of common stock at an effective conversion price of $.033 per share. The debentures were issued at par and pay interest of 8% annually. The holder can convert the debenture into common stock at any time prior to maturity or redemption.
F-5
In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, the Company allocated the net proceeds received in this transaction to each of the convertible debentures and common stock purchase warrants based on their relative estimated fair values. As a result, the Company allocated $740,724 to the convertible debentures and $259,276 to the common stock purchase warrants, which was recorded in additional paid-in-capital. In accordance with the consensus of EITF issues 98-5 and 00-27, management determined that the convertible debentures contained a beneficial conversion feature based on the effective conversion price after allocating proceeds of the convertible debentures to the common stock purchase warrants. Because the calculated beneficial conversion amount exceeded the remaining net carrying value of the convertible debentures, the beneficial conversion was recorded in an amount equal to the remaining net carrying value of the convertible debentures of $740,724 with a corresponding amount recorded as additional paid-in-capital. The amount recorded for the common stock purchase warrants will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the convertible debentures. However, because the debentures may be converted at any time after the issue date, $740,724 was immediately recognized as interest expense.
The Company has issued a Security Agreement in connection with the above agreement to provide a first priority security interest in certain property of the Company in order to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge of all of the Company's obligations under the convertible note and warrant agreements.
NOTE 5: Shareholders' deficit
During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company agreed to pay Black Knight Ventures, Inc., or its designees, an investment banking engagement fee consisting of 300,000 shares of common stock.

Mr. Weiss was elected to the Board of Directors of the Company on September 13, 2004. Mr. Weiss and his wife, Lisa Weiss, are principals in Black Knight Ventures, Inc., a NASD member that provides investment-banking services to the Company.
During the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company issued 169,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for current year salaries and bonuses to its officers and employees. The stock issuances were recorded at the market value of the Company's common stock on the transaction date.

NOTE 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Optigate, Inc. v. Rover Telcom, Inc., (hereafter called "Rover"). OptiGate, Inc., (hereafter "OptiGate") filed suit against Rover, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Fresno Div., CA No. 03 CE CG 03733. The claim asserts breach of contract by Rover. The amount claimed is $150,000 for the alleged breach. Rover has counterclaimed for damages, breach and that the contract is void from inception. After suit was filed, service had and pleadings filed by both parties, OptiGate filed for Chapter 7 proceedings in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of California. The U. S. Trustee has opened negotiations to settle the matter by offering to accept $100,000 and we have countered by offering $10,000 as this is the amount of legal fees we expect to incur in defending this matter. Any judgment we obtain is expected to be not collectable. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of a material adverse outcome is remote.
Angelo v. SkyLynx Communications, Inc., involved a dissident shareholder/lender to Founders Industries, Inc., (hereafter called "Founders"), from whom the company acquired control of Basic Technologies, Inc., (hereafter called "BTECBTEC") after all assets and liabilities had been transferred from BTEC to Founders. The plaintiff allegedly loaned money to BTEC long prior to the transaction by which control was transferred to new management. The plaintiff accepted shares of BTEC (now Founders) along the way. The liability was taken over by Founders and BTEC received a hold harmless from Founders. Founders did not pay back the debt and suit ensued. Founders and Brian Walker, its president, agreed to hold SkyLynx harmless from this debt. This case was dismissed as to the company on July 15, 2005.
The company had employment agreements with Fred Anderson, Jon Fatula and Kevin Gorman. Under those agreements the company agreed to negotiate a reimbursement to these employees certain sums allegedly owed them by StarCom Wireless, Inc., (hereafter called "StarCom"). Mr. Fatula and Mr. Gorman filed secured claims against the bankrupt estate of StarCom in the case referred to in item 1 above. Mr. Anderson did not file a civil claim despite being urged to do so. Mr. Anderson did file a claim in the Ch. 11 and Ch. 7 bankruptcy cases of StarCom.
Mr. Anderson says that some amount in excess of $300,000 is due him and that is disputed. Initially he made no claim in bankruptcy for any amount. Secondly he was urged to file suit against StarCom more two years ago and declined. Thirdly his claim against SkyLynx includes salary claims on behalf of his wife who is not a party to our agreement. Fourth the amount claimed includes sales by a company owned by Mr. Anderson and allegedly not paid for by StarCom. SkyLynx did not agree to reimburse him for any of those items. Finally it appears that Mr. Anderson was being paid back salary by StarCom and AllCom, Inc., an affiliate of StarCom, but not giving any credit to SkyLynx for the amounts paid.
In all three instances negotiated amounts may be owed. No such negotiations have occurred or been requested by these employees. Therefore, only a de minimis amount is due on any of these matters at present. The contracts do not specify any amount and further, subject to "...the final terms and conditions being negotiated between us."
NOTE 8. Subsequent Events
On November 29, 2005, SkyLynx Communications, Inc. the (the "Company") executed a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("the Merger Agreement") between and among the Company, an acquisition subsidiary SkyLynx Acquisition Company ("SAC"), and Vetco Hospitals, Inc., a California corporation ("VETCO").
The Merger Agreement provides for the Merger of SAC with and into VETCO, with VETCO to be the surviving corporation.
Upon consummation of the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of VETCO common stock will be converted automatically into an aggregate of 1,000,000 SkyLynx Series A Convertible Preferred Stock having a Stated Value of $3.00 per share (the "Series A Preferred"). The number of shares of Series A Preferred to be issued to the VETCO shareholders shall be adjusted at the time of Closing such that the total number of shares of SkyLynx Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred (the "Conversion Stock") shall represent, at closing, 55% of the total issued and outstanding shares of SkyLynx Common Stock, on the Closing Date, on a fully diluted basis, excluding shares of Common Stock issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements and related instruments entered into by SkyLynx with NIR Group investors.
F-8
At the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding options, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of VETCO common stock, if any, shall be converted into identical rights with respect to SkyLynx Common Stock. No new options are to be granted prior to closing.
On December 16, 2005, the Company executed a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Digital Computer Integration Corporation ("DCI"), Defense Technology Systems, Inc. and Zenon Maiekowicz as Shareholders of DCI (Shareholders). Under the terms of the agreement, if consummated, the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of DCI in exchange for 572,776 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 3,748,518 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
The acquisitions of Vetco and DCI are subject to customary conditions. If consummated, the acquisitions will result in a change in control of the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Audit Committee of
SkyLynx Communications, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SkyLynx Communications, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we expressed no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SkyLynx Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and has a working capital deficit and net capital deficit at June 30, 2005, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
SkyLynx Communications, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Colorado on January 21, 1998. In May 2003, the Company completed its redomestication to a corporation formed and organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company was originally engaged in the diversified operations of environmental remediation and recovery of oil and gas properties in Texas and Oklahoma, the development of oil and gas ventures and related interests, and as an Internet service provider and e-business consultant in Hawaii.
The Company has completed the development of a wireless data network and has begun the commercial deployment of its infrastructure. The Company caters to commercial and first response customers where coverage of service, rapid polling, security and speed are critical parameters. The Company also operates a small Internet Service Provider focused on providing services to commercial customers. The ISP also acts as the Network Operations Center for the SkyLynx wireless data service.
Inherent in the Company's business are various risks and uncertainties, including its historical operating losses and dependence upon strategic alliances. The Company's future success will be dependent upon its ability to create and provide effective and competitive automatic vehicle location services and the Company's ability to develop and provide new services that meet customers changing requirements; including the effective use of leading technologies to continue to enhance its current services and to influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes on a timely and cost-effective basis.
Management plans to seek additional funding through equity offerings and debt financing and ultimately, to achieve profitability.
Name Change
In May 2003, the Company changed its name from Basic Technologies, Inc. to StarCom Wireless Networks, Inc. in anticipation of a potential business combination (see Note 6). In September 2003, the Company changed its name from StarCom Wireless Networks, Inc. to SkyLynx Communications, Inc.
Business Combinations
Our acquisitions are accounted for as purchase business combinations in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations , and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . We allocate the purchase price of tangible and intangible assets, and record as goodwill, the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Intangible assets include trademarks, customer relationships, acquired technology and covenants not to compete. Such intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are generally four to seven years.
On November 28, 2003, SkyLynx Communications, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a definitive Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Gustavo A. Yepes (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Yepes agreed to transfer and convey to the Company shares representing an aggregate of 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DirectCom, S.A., a Costa Rican corporation.
Subsequent to entering into the Purchase Agreement, DirectCom, S.A. undertook reorganization under the terms of a Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") between Yepes, IdNet, S.A., a Costa Rican corporation, and Inversiones Sinalco, S.A. a Costa Rican corporation. Under the Joint Venture Agreement, DirectCom, S.A. reorganized and changed its name to SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. ("SkyLynx Costa Rica") in contemplation of the consummation of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company would acquire 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SkyLynx Costa Rica.
Effective April 30, 2004, the reorganization of SkyLynx Costa Rica was completed and Yepes transferred to the Company shares representing 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SkyLynx Costa Rica, thus consummating the Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, the Company issued to Yepes, in escrow, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock in consideration of the shares of SkyLynx Costa Rica.
SkyLynx Costa Rica is the legal entity formed to implement the provisions of the Joint Venture Agreement under which the Company acquired 75% of the outstanding shares, IdNet acquired 20% of the outstanding shares and Inversiones Sinalco acquired 5% of the outstanding shares of SkyLynx Costa Rica. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, SkyLynx Costa Rica has been constructing and deploying a wireless communications network in Costa Rica. As of the date of this Report, the first backbone of the network has been completed and is ready to be commercially deployed.
F-16
Effective April 19, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of its shares of capital stock of its subsidiary, SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. On April 21, 2005 the Company completed the sale of its interest in SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. to OrbiLynx Communications, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement the Company sold all the outstanding shares of SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. that it owned for $300,000. The payment consisted of $61,497 in cash, $188,503 in forgiveness or assumption of Company liabilities and a $50,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 5% per year and has a two-year term.
The Company has recorded a gain of the sale of its interest in SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. of approximately $89,000.
Effective December 10, 2003, SkyLynx Communications, Inc. (the "Company") consummated an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of September 1, 2003 (the "Agreement") with Interim Corporate Resources, LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("ICR").
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding member interests of ICR solely in exchange for an aggregate of 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The 700,000 shares of common stock were issued to the members of ICR, pro rata, who were Kevin Gorman, Jon Fatula and Fred Anderson. Messrs. Gorman, Fatula and Anderson are executive officers of the Company. Kevin Gorman currently serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Company; Mr. Fatula serves as Vice President - Information Technology, and Mr. Anderson served as Vice President - Engineering until his resignation in July 2004. The Company has employed Messrs. Gorman, Fatula and Anderson since August 2003.
ICR is a consulting company with established clients in the automatic vehicle location ("AVL") industry. ICR's assets consist principally of customer and client relationships, which the Company plans to use in deploying and developing its wireless networks.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 consolidate the activities of SkyLynx Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica S.A. (until its disposition in April 2005) ICR and Rover Telcom Corporation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2005.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is estimated to be three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the asset life or lease term.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
F-17
Receivables
In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides credit to customers, performs credit evaluations of those customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses, which it periodically reviews for adequacy. Bad debt recoveries are charged against the allowance account as realized. Based on these factors, there is an allowance for doubtful accounts of $8,038 for the year ended June 30, 2005.
The Company has recorded a $50,000 note receivable in connection with the sale of assets to a third party. The note bears interest at 5% per year and is due and payable, together with principal in April 2007.
Loan Costs
Direct costs incurred in connection with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and amortized over the life of the guaranty . As of June 30, 2005, the Company incurred amortization expense of $11,475.
Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . SFAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of intangible assets with finite lives and addresses impairment testing and recognition for goodwill and intangible assets. SFAS No. 144 establishes a single model for the impairment of long-lived assets.
Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Long-lived assets held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill consisted of an amount recorded with the acquisition of SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica in April 2004 ($69,300) and the acquisition of Interim Corporate Resources, LLC in December 2003 ($252,000) and the goodwill recorded by Rover with the acquisition of Net Asset in April 2002 ($117,039). In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 142, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment once a year. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company sold SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica and recorded an impairment of goodwill of $69,300. The Company also tested the impairment of the goodwill related to the acquisitions of Interim Corporate Resources, LLC and Net Asset and determined that $369,039 should be recorded as a loss due to the impairment of goodwill (The June 30, 2004 financials were re-stated as a transaction between entities under common control. Accordingly, after the re-statement, there was no goodwill related to the Net Asset acquisition).
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue ratably as services are provided. Amounts collected prior to the service being provided are reflected as deferred revenue.
Sources of Supplies
The Company relies on third-party networks, local telephone companies and other companies to provide data communications capacity. Although management feels alternative facilities could be found in a timely manner, any disruption of these services could have an adverse effect on operating results.
F-18
Loss per Share
Net loss per share-basic excludes dilution and is determined by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Net loss per share-diluted reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. As of June 30, 2005, there were no outstanding common stock equivalents; therefore, net loss per share-basic and net loss per share-diluted were equal at June 30, 2005.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's stock and the exercise price. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and the relatively minor balances of each individual account. The Company has provided for an allowance for doubtful accounts for the year ended June 30, 2005 based on management's estimate of the collectibility of accounts receivable.
The Company has determined, based on available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, the fair value of its financial instruments approximates carrying value at June 30, 2005. Due to the short-term maturity of the instruments, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value.
Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company expensed $710,131 and $830,226, respectively of research and development costs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Share-based Payment
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued the revised SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"), which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a Company obtains employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for employee share-based payment transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25 and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using the grant-date fair value based method. SFAS 123R will be effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after January 1, 2006 (January 1, 2006 for the Company) and applies to all awards granted or modified after the effective date. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the effective date shall be recognized on or after the effective date, as the related services are rendered, based on the awards' grant-date fair value as previously calculated for the pro-forma disclosure under SFAS 123.
The impact of this statement on our financial statements or our results of operations in 2006 and beyond will depend upon various factors, among them, our future compensation strategy. We expect the effect of applying SFAS 123R on our results of operation in 2006 as it relates to existing option plans would not be materially different from the SFAS 123 pro forma effect previously reported.
F-19
Impairment of Debt and Equity Instruments
In March 2004, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 03-1, " The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," which provides new guidance for assessing impairment losses on debt and equity investments. Additionally, EITF Issue No. 03-1 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the accounting provisions of EITF Issue No. 03-1; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective and have been adopted by the Company in these financial statements (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We will evaluate the effect, if any, of EITF Issue No. 03-1 when final guidance is released.

At June 30, 2005, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of $3,115,540, due to operating loss carry forwards of $7,833,328, which was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $3,115,540. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 totaled $1,017,826 and $1,426,835, respectively. The current tax benefit also totaled $1,017,826 and $1,426,835 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The net operating loss carry-forward expires through the year 2025.
The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized.
At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.
Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company's tax net operating loss carry forwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The only statute, charter provision, by-law, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officers of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
a. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and its By-laws require the Company to indemnify officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL).
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify and hold harmless a director, officer, employer, or agent of the corporation who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against all expense, liability and loss actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such a proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. If it is determined that the conduct of such person meets these standards, such person may be indemnified for expenses incurred and amounts paid in such proceeding if actually and reasonably in connection therewith.
If such a proceeding is brought by or on behalf of the corporation (i.e., a derivative suit), such person may be indemnified againsvt expenses actually and reasonably incurred if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and its stockholders. There can be no indemnification with respect to any matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
Where any such person is successful in any such proceeding, such person is entitled to be indemnified against expenses actualvly and reasonably incurred by him or her. In all other cases (unless order by a court), indemnification is made by the corporation upon determination by it that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard or conduct.
A corporation may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay any amount so advanced if it is ultimately determined that the person is not eligible for indemnification.
b. Article VII, Section 2 of Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides:
No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such a director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Section 2 of Article VII shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:
56
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
