CELLULAR TECHNICAL SERVICES COMPANY, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cellular Technical Services Company, Inc. (“CTS” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “CTS” or the “Company” herein include Cellular Technical Services Company, Inc. and any entity over which it has or shares operational control.

 

CTS has no current business. Management currently has no plan to liquidate the Company and distribute the remaining assets to stockholders. As of early 2004, the Company may be considered as a dormant enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Company has been and will be evaluating alternative businesses and acquisitions. There is no assurance that such alternative businesses and acquisitions can be accomplished before CTS spends all of its remaining cash balances, that CTS will be able to raise money at acceptable terms, if at all, to fund the acquisitions and/or the operating activities of the businesses it may acquire, and that the acquired businesses will represent viable business strategies and/or will be consistent with the expectations and risk profiles of CTS’ stockholders.

 

Based on management plans, these financial statements have been prepared under the “going concern” assumption which presumes that the Company will continue its existence.

Management expects that during the remaining three months of 2006 the Company will incur costs of approximately $0.15 million, primarily related to costs of maintaining the business as a public entity and insurance. The Company does not expect to have any current source of revenues and has de minimis operations. Accordingly, management believes that its cash balance as of September 30, 2006 of approximately $3.5 million is sufficient to fund its current cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months.

 

NOTE B – STOCK OPTIONS

Pursuant to the Company’s 1991 Qualified Stock Option and 1991 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans, as amended (the “1991 Plan”), the Company was authorized to grant options to purchase up to (i) 280,000 shares of Common Stock to its officers and key employees, at a price not less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant; and (ii) 120,000 shares of Common Stock to its directors, officers, key employees and others who rendered services to the Company at such price as fixed by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. Options granted under the 1991 Plan generally vest to the respective option holders at the rate of 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary date of the grant. No new grants may be made under the 1991 Plan.

 

The Company’s 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan allows the Company to grant options to purchase up to 70,000 shares of Common Stock. Each non-employee director is to be granted options to purchase: (i) 2,000 shares of Common Stock upon initial appointment as a director of the Company; and (ii) an additional 1,200 shares, in recurring annual increments, at a price equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant. Options under the Non-Employee Director Plan vest to the respective option holder after one year and have a term of ten years.

 

The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of both incentive (“ISO”) and non-qualified stock options up to a maximum of 335,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to employees (including officers and directors who are employees) of and consultants to the Company. The exercise price, term and vesting provision of each option grant is fixed by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee with the provision that the exercise price of an ISO may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, and the term of an ISO may not exceed ten years.

Commencing January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense, based on their fair values.

 

Prior to adopting SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company has applied the modified prospective method in adopting SFAS 123R. Accordingly, periods prior to adoption have not been restated. Under the modified prospective method, awards that were granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2006 are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. Unvested equity-classified awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006 will continue to be accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123, except that all awards are recognized in the results of operations over the remaining vesting periods. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized. In addition, the realization of tax benefits in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes will be recognized as a financing activity in accordance with SFAS 123R.

No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for substantially all net deferred tax assets. We elected to adopt the alternative method of calculating the historical pool of windfall tax benefits as permitted by FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS 123R-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” This is a simplified method to determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining the tax effects of stock compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for awards that were outstanding as of the adoption of SFAS 123R.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the fair value based method had been applied to the prior period (in 000’s, except per share amounts).

As of September 30, 2006, there was $1,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under existing stock option plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.

 

NOTE C – CONTINGENCIES:

Legal proceedings: The Company is not currently a party to any litigation. However, from time to time, the Company could be subject to involvement in legal actions and claims, which management believes will be resolved without a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

NOTE D – INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other common stock equivalent (i.e. stock options) in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period if dilutive. Outstanding stock options of 172,600 at September 30, 2006 and 192,800 at September 30, 2005, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect the Company’s views with respect to future events and financial performance. The Company uses words and phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “the Company believes,” “future,” and similar words and phrases to identify forward-looking statements. Reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause, or contribute to causing, actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the applicable statements. Readers should pay particular attention to the descriptions of risks and uncertainties described in this report and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to the Company on the date of this report. The Company assumes no obligation or duty to update any such forward-looking statements.

The Company files its periodic reports with the SEC in compliance with the “small business issuer” provisions of Regulation S-B, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Generally, a Small Business Issuer cannot file under Regulation S-B if its annual revenues or public float exceed $25.0 million for two consecutive years. The Company qualifies as a Regulation S-B filer since its annual revenues for both 2005 and 2004 were less than $25.0 million and its public float has not exceeded $25.0 million. Regulation S-B is tailored for the small business issuer, and although it requires accurate and complete disclosure, it does not require certain specific disclosures which are required under Regulation S-K and Regulation S-X.

Management expects that during the last three months of 2006 the Company will incur costs of approximately $0.15 million, primarily related to costs of maintaining the business as a public entity and insurance. The Company is not expected to have any significant revenues or operations. There can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will be profitable on a quarterly or annual basis in the future or that revenue levels can be enhanced. Existing revenue levels should not be considered indicative of future operating results. Accordingly, subject to a potential acquisition or other investment, management believes that its cash balances as of September 30, 2006 are sufficient to fund its current cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months; however, unanticipated changes may require additional financing.

The Company has no current business. It is not engaged in any planned product research and development and it does not anticipate doing so in the future. The Company has disposed of all of its equipment, and has one part time employee.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share Based Payment.” The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method. Therefore, prior period results were not restated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was not recognized in the results of operations if the exercise price was at least equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. As a result, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense was generally limited to the expense attributed to restricted share based awards. The adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

At September 30, 2006, there was approximately $1,000 of unrecognized stock compensation related to unvested awards (net of estimated forfeitures) expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.0 years.

 

 

Item 3.

Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated this system of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this

quarterly report, and believe that the system is operating effectively to ensure appropriate disclosure. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
