PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(a) Business Development
SkyLynx Communications, Inc. (the Company) was formally known as StarCom Wireless Networks, Inc.
from May 2003 through September 2003 and Basic Technologies, Inc. from inception through May 2003.
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 21, 1998. The Company
was initially organized for the purpose of pursuing and completing a business combination with
Yankee Development Corporation (Yankee Development), a Texas corporation engaged in the business
of the acquisition and development of oil and gas ventures and related interests.
On April 23, 1998, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 5,305,625 newly-issued, restricted
shares, constituting approximately 90% of the then outstanding
shares, of the Companys
Common Stock in consideration of the exchange therefore of all 1,000 outstanding shares of common
stock, no par value per share, of Yankee Development owned of record and beneficially by the
Shelton Voting Trust. Immediately following the reverse acquisition transaction, the Shelton
Voting Trust, the former owner of Yankee Development, controlled approximately 90% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and Yankee Development became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
On October 16, 1998, the Company organized P & A Remediation, LLC (hereafter PAR Texas), a Texas
limited liability company owned 99% and 1% by the Company and Simpco, Inc., respectively, for the
purpose of engaging in the business of plugging oil wells, conducting environmental remediation of
oil fields and salvaging the construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and used oil field
equipment for resale on the secondary market. Operations of this entity have been transferred to
another subsidiary.
The Company, effective as of January 15, 1999, issued and sold a total of 850,000 newly-issued,
restricted shares of Common Stock in consideration of the exchange therefore of all 10,000
outstanding shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Simpco. Simpco then became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to its acquisition by the Company effective as of
January 15, 1999, Simpco was operating and approved by the responsible regulatory agencies of the
states of Texas and Oklahoma to be engaged in the business of oil well plugging, remediation and
salvage activities. Operations of this entity have been transferred to another subsidiary.
On November 24, 1999, the Company organized P & A Remediation, LLC (hereafter PAR Oklahoma), an
Oklahoma limited liability company, for the purpose of engaging in the business of plugging oil
wells for industry and government in the state of Oklahoma, conducting environmental remediation of
oil fields and salvaging the construction materials, pipe, steel tubulars and used oil field
equipment for resale on the secondary market. Operations of this entity have ceased.
On December 31, 1999, the Company organized Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. (hereafter CYBERTRON),
a wholly-owned Hawaii corporation, for the purpose of receiving and operating the assets of an
unrelated third party and thereafter to engage in the business of providing regional Internet
provider services and computer consulting operations from Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Company, on March 16, 2000, issued and sold a total of 979,232 newly-issued, restricted shares
of Common Stock in the company, in consideration for the conveyance and transfer of certain
selected assets listed in (i) that certain Acquisition Agreement and Closing Memorandum between the
Company and Cyber City Honolulu, Inc., (hereafter CCHONO) an unaffiliated third party; (ii) that
certain Bill of Sale dated December 31, 1999 from Cyber City Honolulu, Inc. to Cyber Cities
Technologies, Inc.; and (iii) that certain Assignment dated December 31, 1999, from Cyber City
Honolulu, Inc., to Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. The stock for assets transaction was accounted
for under the purchase method. On June 14, 2002, Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc. changed its name
to Cybertron, Inc. In August 2002, Cybertron, Inc. filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code.
2
(b) Spin-Off and Change in Control.
Effective December 2001, the Company formed and organized a new subsidiary, Founders Industries,
Inc. (Founders) for the purpose of spinning off to its shareholders, pro rata, all of its
interests in its then existing subsidiaries:
Yankee Development Corporation,
Simpco, Inc.,
P&A Remediation, LLC, a Texas limited liability company,
P&A Remediation, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company,
Oilfield Junk.com, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and
Cyber Cities Technologies, Inc., a Hawaiian corporation.
When initially organized, the directors and officers of Founders Industries were the persons who
served as directors and officers of Basic Technologies, to wit: Bryan L. Walker, Richard C. Smith,
Michael L. Bacon, Derek T. Smith and Laura N. Walker.
Initially, Basic Technologies, Inc. held 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Founders
Industries, which itself owns 100% of the outstanding shares of equity interest of each of the
former Basic subsidiaries. Under the terms of the spin-off, Founders Industries will be spun-off to
the shareholders of Basic Technologies, pro rata, in the nature of a stock dividend distribution,
pursuant to which the Basic shareholders shall receive one share of Founders Industries for each
share of Basic Technologies owned on the record date. The Company established February 8, 2002 as
the record date for the spin-off. Only shareholders of record of Basic Technologies on the record
date are entitled to participate in the spin-off distribution.
Founders Industries is in the process of preparing and filing a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission registering the spin-off distribution of the shares of Founders
Industries as described above. The spin-off will not occur until that registration has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The formation of Founders Industries and its pending spin-off are transactions provided for under a
Letter of Understanding dated as of December 13, 2001 between Basic Technologies, on the one hand,
and Mr. Gary Brown, on the other. Under the terms of the Letter of Understanding, the spin-off of
the existing operations and assets of Basic Technologies would occur through the formation and
organization of Founders Industries. Concurrently with the execution of the Letter of
Understanding, Mr. Brown entered into an Option Agreement with the Shelton Voting Trust. At the
time, the Shelton Voting Trust was the record owner of approximately 5,305,625 shares of the
Companys common stock, representing 46.5% of the then outstanding 11,548,356 shares of common
stock. Bryan Walker, the Companys former President, CEO and Director, serves as Trustee of the
Shelton Voting Trust. The beneficiaries of the Shelton Voting Trust are Bryan and Laura Walker as
to 80% of its shares of the Companys common stock and Richard Smith, a former Director and Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, as to 20% of its shares of the Companys common stock.
Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Mr. Brown was given the option to purchase from the
Shelton Voting Trust an aggregate of 4,900,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.002 per
share.
Effective May 1, 2002, in anticipation that Mr. Brown and his affiliates would complete the
exercise of the option to acquire 4,900,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the Shelton
Voting Trust and
thereby effect a change in control of the Company, Bryan Walker, Laura Walker, Richard Smith and
Derek
3
Smith voluntarily resigned as officers and directors of the Company. Following such
resignations, the remaining directors of the Company were Gary Brown, Steve Jesson and William
Chastain. Mr. Chastain subsequently elected not to serve as a director.
Effective June 14, 2002, all of the options under the Option Agreement were exercised to acquire
from the Shelton Voting Trust 4,900,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Mr. Brown had
assigned to third parties the rights to acquire a portion of the shares pursuant to the exercise of
such options. As a result, shares underlying the Option Agreement were acquired by the following
persons with respect to the number of shares set forth below:
|
|
|
|
|
Gary L. Brown
|
|
|
|
1,543,675 shares |
Rover Telcom Corporation
|
|
|
|
91,025 shares |
Robert Todd
|
|
|
|
65,300 shares |
Bridgeport Construction, Inc.
|
|
|
|
700,000 shares |
American Merger Consultants, Inc.
|
|
|
|
500,000 shares |
Milford Communications Partners
|
|
|
|
1,000,000 shares |
Stephen L. Rogers
|
|
|
|
1,000,000 shares |
The foregoing options were exercised in cash, for aggregate cash consideration of $10,000.
(c) Spin-Off Trust.
Effective June 15, 2002, the Company transferred to a spin-off trust all 8,198,356 shares of common
stock of Founders Industries which were held for distribution to the Basic shareholders, pro rata,
pursuant to the spin-off whose previously declared effective date was February 8, 2002. The trustee
of the spin-off trust is Bryan Walker.
Under the terms of the spin-off trust, the trustee has taken delivery of all of the Founders
spin-off shares pending completion of the registration statement, its having been declared
effective and the completion of the spin-off distribution. Further, if the spin-off is not
completed for any reason within two years, then the trustee has been authorized to dispose of the
spin-off shares in any commercially reasonable fashion and to distribute the proceeds derived from
that disposition to the Basic shareholders, pro rata, in lieu of the distribution of the shares of
common stock of Founders Industries, Inc.
As a result of having entered into the spin-off trust agreement and transferring the shares of
Founders Industries common stock held for distribution to the Basic shareholders, pro rata, the
historical operations of the Company, now owned by Founders Industries, have become de-consolidated
from the operations of the Company as of the effective date of the spin-off, to wit: June 15, 2002.
As a result of this de-consolidation, the financial statements of Basic Technologies, Inc. as of
June 30, 2002, its fiscal year end, have been prepared without consolidation of the historical
operations of the Company after December 31, 2001 whose assets are now held by Founders Industries.
(d) Acquisition of Rover Telcom Corporation.
Effective August 27, 2002, the Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant
to which it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Rover Telcom
Corporation. Rover Telcom Corporation had been an affiliated company of Mr. Brown and Mr. Jesson,
Mr. Jesson having formerly served as a director of the Company until August 1, 2002. Under the
terms of the acquisition, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of common stock in
exchange for 100%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Rover Telcom Corporation. In the
transaction, Mr. Brown received an aggregate of 1,875,000 shares of common stock, Kenneth Marshall,
the Companys
4
Secretary and General Counsel, received 750,000 shares of common stock and Mr. Jesson
received 937,500 shares of common stock. Rover Telcom owns and operates an internet service
provider serving the Fresno, California market.
(e) Redomestication, Reverse Split and Name Change.
Effective May 7, 2003, the Company completed the following transactions:
|
1. |
|
The reverse split of its common stock by a ratio of 1-for-7; |
|
|
2. |
|
Its redomestication to a corporation formed and organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware; and |
|
|
3. |
|
Its name change to StarCom Wireless Networks, Inc. |
Effective September 29, 2003, the Company changed its name to SkyLynx Communications, Inc.
(f) Acquisition of Interim Resources Corporation.
Effective December 10, 2003, 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 Companys 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 served as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and on September 13, 2004 he was also
appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Gorman resigned as COO on November 18,
2004 and as a director on January 28, 2005. Mr. Fatula served as Vice President Information
Technology until June 30, 2005. He currently serves as a consultant to the Company. Mr. Anderson

ICR is a consulting company with established clients in the automatic vehicle location (AVL)
industry. ICRs assets consist principally of customer and client relationships that the Company
plans to use in deploying and developing its wireless networks.
(g) 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
5
Company issued to Yepes, in escrow, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Companys 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 Companys Costa Rican deployment and network operations.
(h) 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.
(i) 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 companys 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.
During the quarter ending June 30, 2005, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of its interest in
SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica, S.A. of approximately $89,000.
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.
(j) Definitive Agreement to acquire StarCom
On April 17, 2003 Basic Technologies, Inc., (subsequently SkyLynx) entered into a Letter of Intent
with StarCom Wireless, Inc., (hereafter StarCom). The terms of the transaction were:
|
1. |
|
All outstanding options and warrants issued by StarCom were to be cancelled. |
|
|
2. |
|
All debt, (secured, unsecured, unpaid salaries, convertible notes, trade accounts
payable in excess of $1,500,000 were to be converted to StarCom common stock and included
in the StarCom Equity. SkyLynx would assume up to $1,500,000 of such debt. |
6
|
3. |
|
SkyLynx agreed to issue 50% of the outstanding $.0001 par value Common Stock in
exchange for all shares of common stock of StarCom and all such shares were to be
restricted shares as described in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
|
|
4. |
|
Shares held by AllCom, Inc., (AllCom) an affiliate and control person of StarCom,
were in dispute and a sufficient number of SkyLynx Common Stock were to be held in escrow
pending the dispute resolution as to the true ownership of those shares. |
|
|
5. |
|
SkyLynx initially advanced $30,000 to StarCom and received a UCC-1 form securing the
advance. With interest these advances grew to a total of $112,500. |
The due diligence revealed debts far in excess of $1,500,000 and StarCom was unable to
obtain the requisite shareholder approval to complete the transaction. On June 22, 2004
StarCom filed for the protection of Ch. 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Act in the U. S. Bankruptcy
Court, In and For Puerto Rico.
On November 23, 2004 SkyLynx, StarCom and AllCom entered into a Letter of Intent whereby
SkyLynx agreed to purchase the assets of StarCom under the auspices of a Plan of Reorganization
and Disclosure Statement to be filed by StarCom in the Ch. 11 proceeding. SkyLynx was to also
acquire assets of AllCom for the issuance of shares of the $.0001 par value Common Stock of
SkyLynx along with warrants to purchase added shares of SkyLynx.
SkyLynx was to issue 1,250,000 shares of the $.0001 par value Common Stock of SkyLynx
based on a value of $.50 per share along with a package consisting of an A and a B warrant
for each two (2) shares issued with the warrants to the secured creditors.
The unsecured creditors were to receive not more than 150,000 shares of the $.0001 par
value Common Stock of SkyLynx at a value of $.50 along with a package consisting of an A and
a B warrant for each two (2) shares issued with the warrants.
Each existing shareholder of StarCom stock was to receive 2,500 shares of the $.0001 par
value Common Stock of SkyLynx along with a package consisting of 2,500 A warrants and 2,500
B warrants.
After the value of the interests of StarCom and AllCom was determined and the Court confirmed a
Plan of Reorganization and after the Effective Date was met, SkyLynx was to issue up to
14,000,000 shares of its $.0001 par value Common Stock with warrants directly to the
shareholders of AllCom based on $.50 per share. Those shares were to be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
SkyLynx, StarCom and AllCom agreed that they would jointly petition the Bankruptcy Court
for approval of this plan. Counsel for StarCom prepared and submitted the Plan of
Reorganization and Disclosure Statement. The Court refused to accept the Plan and Disclosure
Statement as being inadequate for the creditors and shareholders to make a rational decision.
It soon became apparent to the management of SkyLynx that the proposed transaction would
require far more assets of SkyLynx to satisfy the shareholders of AllCom, that the values of
the StarCom and AllCom assets were far below what had been represented and that a great
likelihood of protracted litigation existed. On these bases SkyLynx determined it to be in the
best interests of the shareholders and creditors of SkyLynx to withdraw from the transaction.
The funds advanced by SkyLynx to StarCom under the first letter of intent were not
recouped. An additional sum of approximately $30,000 in legal fees was incurred in pursuing
this claim.
(k) Definitive Agreement to acquire ADTECH Systems, Inc.
On May 27, 2005, SkyLynx signed a Definitive Agreement to acquire ADTECH Systems, Inc., a Texas
corporation with a history of substantial revenues and rapid growth, however, it was experiencing
financial distress. The acquisition of ADTECH would have served to accelerate the SkyLynx revenue
and earnings model, provided it could be restored to its previous level of performance. After a
period of due diligence,
7
and an extension to the Definitive Agreement, it expired without execution by mutual consent on
August 15, 2005.

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.
How the SkyLynx Network Works
(see figure 1.0 for system diagram)
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.
8
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.
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.

Figure 1.0
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 Customers
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
|
10
|
|
stocked with the optimum product mix given the time of the year, temperature, and buying cycle,
thus maximizing the return on the vending machine. |
|
|
|
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
11
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:
|
|
|
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 todays 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
12
The move towards higher bandwidth capabilities has really been targeted at the cellular industrys
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 SkyLynxs 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.

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 Manufacturers
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 customers 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.
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 customers 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 viewers 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 Customers 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 Customers 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 Assets 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 LANs, and many have similar needs. Issues such as
firewall security, virtual private networks and email servers are common to most of
20
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 Customers 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 Customers 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 Customers
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
todays 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.
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 cant 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 Assets 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:
21
|
|
Guaranteed Full 1.544Mb connection up and downstream |
|
|
|
24/7 monitoring and support by Net Assets professional tech staff |
|
|
|
No usage charges |

DS3 offers all the security and reliability of DS1, but with even greater speeds (44.736Mbps). This
option is especially attractive to those customers looking to implement higher bandwidth
applications, such as medical imaging, CAD/CAM and multimedia. Specific features of this 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 Assets 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.

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.

Factors we discuss in this form may have a significant impact on the market price of our common
stock. Also, because of the relatively low price of our common stock, many brokerage firms may not
effect transactions in the common stock.
In addition, 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 disclosure document prepared by the
Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in penny stocks can be
very risky and that the investors 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 purchasers 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.
Holders
As of November 28, 2005, the Company had approximately 239 shareholders of record. This does not
include shareholders who held stock in accounts at broker-dealers.
Dividends
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock since inception and do not
expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future
earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
The financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 consolidate the activities of SkyLynx
Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries SkyLynx Communications de Costa Rica S.A. (up until its
disposition in April 2005) and Rover Telcom Corporation. The financial statements for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2004 consolidate the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, SkyLynx
Communications de Costa Rica S.A. and Rover TelCom Corporation.
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
28
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.
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
29
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.
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
30
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.
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 Companys 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 entitys accounting policy decisions
31
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 Companys 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
Companys 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.

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 Companys 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
Companys 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. Managements 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 Companys business are various risks and uncertainties, including its historical
operating losses and dependence upon strategic alliances. The Companys future success will be
dependent upon its ability to create and provide effective and competitive automatic vehicle
location services and the Companys 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.

SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
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

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

Effective April 19, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of its shares of

The Company has recorded a gain of the sale of its interest in SkyLynx Communications de Costa
Rica, S.A. of approximately $89,000.

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.
F-8
SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
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.
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.
F-9
SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
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.
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.
F-10
SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 managements 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 Companys 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.
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.

and common stock purchase warrants. Each note was convertible into shares of the Companys common
stock at a price equal to the quoted market price on the day of sale less a discount of 30 percent.
One warrant was offered for every two dollars in principal denomination of note purchased.
F-16
SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of the Companys common stock at $3.00
per share for a period of two years. The Company closed the offering in February 2004 after selling
978,063 units for net proceeds of $873,645 after deducting $5,000 in offering costs. Each
promissory note sold was immediately converted into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the
transaction was accounted for as a sale of common stock. As of June 30, 2005, there are 436,823
warrants outstanding that expire through 2006.
Stock Warrants

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.
F-18
SKYLYNX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement
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 Companys 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.

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 and
therefore, no amount has been reserved in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2002, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby the
Company acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Rover Telcom Corporation
(Rover) in exchange for 3,750,000 shares of the Companys common stock. This agreement was later
amended to show that the Company shall issue and deliver to the buyer, shares of common stock
which, when sold in accordance with the provisions of the amendment, shall permit the buyer to
realize net proceeds of $181,000. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has issued an additional
200,000 shares of restricted common stock to comply with this agreement, however, which may not
realize the amount of proceeds required under the agreement and the Company may have to issue
additional shares of common stock in the future.

A liquidation preference of $0.50 per share of Preferred Stock, subordinate to the Stated
Value of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred and senior to the rights of holders of Common
Stock.
At closing, 4,585,054 of the Merger Securities will be deposited and held under a Closing Escrow
Agreement which will provide that 1,146,263 shares will be released, pro rata, upon (i) the
collection of the $2,200,000 account receivable from ComTek; an additional 1,146,263 shares will be

shares of Series A Preferred Stock of SkyLynx in payment of their debt.
As of June 30, 2005, the Merger Agreement had not closed and on August 15, 2005 it was terminated
without consummation. The termination resulted from the failure of the parties to consummate the

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
During our two most recent fiscal years and any later interim period, we did not dismiss our
principal independent accountant. Our principal accountant was the principal accountant of all
significant subsidiaries. There have been no disagreements with our accountants on accounting and
financial disclosure matters.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this
evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that
our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely identify,
correct and disclose information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) reports due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability
to have multiple levels of transaction review. Through the use of external consultants and the
audit process, management believes that the financial statements and other information
presented herewith are materially correct.
Due to the resignation of our Chief Financial Officer, there has been a significant adverse
change in our internal control over financial reporting. We plan to hire a new CFO as soon as
practicable; however, until a new CFO is hired, we will have to rely upon external consultants for
our financial reporting.

personal ties to management.
The Board of Directors has determined that none of the members of the audit committee qualify

Nomination Process
The Board of Directors has not appointed a standing nomination committee and does not intend
to do so during the current year. The process of determining director nominees is addressed by the
board as a whole, which consists of five members. The board has not adopted a charter to govern the
director nomination process.
Of the currently serving five directors, Messrs. Weiss, Rogers and Chang would each be deemed
to be independent within the meaning of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.s
listing standards. For this purpose, a director is deemed to be independent if he does not possess
any vested interests related to those of management and does not have any financial, family or
other material personal ties to management.
The board of directors has not adopted a policy with regard to the consideration of any
director candidates recommended by security holders, since to date the board has not received from
any security holder a director nominee recommendation. The board of directors will consider
candidates recommended by security holders in the future. Security holders wishing to recommended a
director nominee for consideration should contact Mr. Gary Brown, Chief Executive Officer, at the
Companys principal executive offices located in Sarasota, Florida, and provide to Mr. Brown, in
writing, the recommended director nominees professional resume covering all activities during the
past five years, the information required by Item 401 of Regulation SB, and a statement of the
reasons why the security holder is making the recommendation. Such recommendation must be received
by the Company before September 30 following the most recently completed fiscal year.
The board of directors believes that any director nominee must possess significant experience
in business and/or financial matters as well as a particular interest in the Companys activities.
All director nominees identified in this proxy statement were recommended by our President and
unanimously approved by the board of directors.
Shareholder Communications
Any shareholder of the Company wishing to communicate to the board of directors may do so by
sending written communication to the board of directors to the attention of Mr. Gary Brown, Chief
Executive Officer, at the principal executive offices of the Company. The board of directors will
consider any such written communication at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
Any transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders, or
other affiliates have been and will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be
obtained from unaffiliated third parties on an arms-length basis and will be approved by a majority
of the Companys independent, outside disinterested directors.
Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all of our
directors, officers and employees. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a
copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Such request should be made in writing and address
to Investor Relations, SkyLynx Communications, Inc., 500 John Ringling Blvd., Sarasota, Florida
34236. Further, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed as an exhibit to
our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2004.
Section 16(a) Compliance
Under the securities laws of the United States, the Companys directors, its executive
officers and any persons holding more than 10% of the Companys common stock are required to report
their ownership of the Companys common stock and any changes in that ownership to the Securities

is required to report any failure to file by these dates during fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005. In
making this report, the
60

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
61
(ISOs) under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code) or options which do not qualify as ISOs (Non-Qualified Stock Options or
NQSOs). As required by Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate fair market value (as defined by
the Incentive Plan) of the Companys Common Stock (determined as of the date of grant of ISO) with
respect to which ISOs 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 NQSOs. Rights to purchase
shares of the Companys 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 Companys 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
Effective August 1, 2003, we entered into written employment agreements with Kevin Gorman, Jon
Fatula and Fred Anderson:
Mr. Gormans agreement is an at will employment contract under which we agreed to pay him a
signing bonus of $22,500 and a base annual salary of $145,000 per year.
Mr. Fatulas agreement is an at will employment contract under which we have agreed to pay him a
base salary of $130,000 per year.
Mr. Andersons agreement is an at will employment contract under which we have agreed to pay him
a base salary of $130,000 per year. Mr. Anderson resigned in August 2004.
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
attorneys 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 Directors 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
63
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.
ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
The following table sets forth information with respect to beneficial ownership of our common stock
at October 31, 2004 by each person who beneficially owns more than 5% of the common stock; by each
of our executive officers named in the Management section; by each of our Directors; and by all
executive officers and Directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, we believe all persons in
the table have sole voting and investment power for all shares beneficially owned by them.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANTS FEES AND SERVICES
In the last two fiscal years, we have retained Cordovano & Honeck (C&H) as our principal
accountants. C&H audited our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2005 and 2004. We
understand the need for our principal accountants to maintain objectivity and independence in their
audit of our financial statements. To minimize relationships that could appear to impair the
objectivity of our principal accountants, our audit committee has restricted the non-audit services
that our principal accountants may provide to us primarily to tax services and audit related
services. We are only to obtain non-audit services from our principal accountants when the services
offered by our principal accountants are more effective or economical than services available from
other service providers, and, to the extent possible, only after competitive bidding. These
determinations are among the key practices adopted by the audit committee effective during fiscal
2005. The board has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving work performed by our
principal accountants.
After careful consideration, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has determined that
payment of the below audit fees is in conformance with the independent status of the Companys
principal independent accountants. Before engaging the auditors in additional services, the Audit
Committee considers how these services will impact the entire engagement and independence factors.
The following is an aggregate of fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional
services rendered by our principal accountants:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005 |
