SANSWIRE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The opportunities associated with Sanswire are related to the Lighter Than Air (LTA) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market. Sanswire seeks to build and run a UAV business that includes low-, mid- and high-altitude, lighter-than-air vehicles. Sanswire intends to provide customers surveillance sensor suites and advanced seamless wireless broadband capabilities utilizing its High Altitude Airship technology. 

Sanswire’s main products are airships, which provide a platform to transmit wireless capabilities from air to ground.  The High Altitude class of prospective airships are generally referred to as HAAs (High Altitude Airships) but have also been called HAPs (High Altitude Platform) and HALEs (High Altitude Long Endurance). They have been designed to be able to keep a station in one location in the Stratosphere, at approximately 65,000 feet for durations of 30 days or more.  The Company is focused on the further development of the SKYSat and development and construction of the STS-111 Lighter than air (LTA) Mid Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform for providing surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sanswire Corp. and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X for scaled disclosures for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2010. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

The Company applied the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 810-10. “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)” (“FIN 46R”) to its investment in Sanswire-TAO.  Under ASC 810, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is subject to consolidation if the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including equity holders.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company determined that that consolidation of Sanswire-TAO was appropriate.  Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $4,808,087 and used cash in operating activities of $248,756 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and had a working capital deficit of $17,628,348 and a stockholders’ deficit of $15,921,973 at June 30, 2010.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company anticipates that a net loss will continue for the balance of 2010.

Additional cash will still be needed to support operations. Management believes it can continue to raise capital from various funding sources, which will be sufficient to sustain operations at its current level through December 31, 2010. However, if budgeted sales levels are not achieved and/or if significant unanticipated expenditures occur, or if it is unable to obtain the necessary funding, the Company may have to modify its business plan, reduce or discontinue some of its operations or seek a buyer for all or part of its assets to continue as a going concern. As of the date of this report the Company has continued to raise capital to sustain its current operations.  The Company will need to periodically seek investment to provide cash for operations until such time that operations provide sufficient cash flow to cover expenditures.

On May 2, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against GlobeTel Communications Corp. (the “Company”) and three former officers of the Company, Timothy J. Huff, Thomas Y. Jimenez and Lawrence E. Lynch. The SEC alleges, among other things, that the Company recorded $119 million in revenue on the basis of fraudulent invoices created by Joseph Monterosso and Luis Vargas, two individuals formerly employed by the Company who were in charge of its wholesale telecommunications business.  The SEC alleges that the Company violated Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13 under the Exchange Act. The SEC seeks as relief a permanent injunction, civil penalties, and disgorgement with prejudgment interest. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this action. The SEC Staff is also considering recommending that the SEC authorize and institute proceedings to revoke the registration of Company’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act (also see note 9).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company sells Lighter Than Air (LTA) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The Company recognizes revenue for such sales when delivery has and the following criteria have been met: delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, collection is probable, and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.   The Company recognized $250,000 in revenue for the period ended June 30, 2010 and no revenue for the period ended June 30, 2009.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Trade and other accounts receivable are reported at face value, less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable primarily includes trade receivables from customers and in connection with the sale of a 50% interest in a SkySAT.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of work in progress related to the Company's consolidated joint venture Sanswire-TAO.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are computed under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  ASC 740 specifies the use of an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of the difference in events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements compared to the tax returns.
 
9

 
VALUATION HIERARCHY

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels that reflect the degree of subjectivity necessary to determine measurements, as follows.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.  A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 (unaudited):

The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the three ended June 30, 2010.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments, including cash, deposits, accounts payable and notes payable are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these amounts or due to variable rates of interest which are consistent with market rates.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The basic and diluted net loss is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the diluted net loss per share calculation excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. If all outstanding options, warrants and convertible shares were to be converted or exercised as of June 30, 2010, the shares outstanding would be 377,009,350.   As of August 12, 2010, we had 306,661,084 shares of our common stock outstanding. The Company is obligated under various existing agreements, options and warrants to issue additional shares of our common stock.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company follows FASB ASC 360, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets." ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are related to the Company's consolidated joint venture Sanswire-TAO (see Note 6).  Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are three years for patents and intellectual property.  In addition to amortization, intangible assets are tested at least annually for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be assessed.  An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  The Company generally measures fair value by considering sales prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future net cash flows from such assets using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of capital.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.  The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.  For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.  For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.  The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.  Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees using ASC 718 effective January 1, 2006, and for all share-based payments granted based on the requirements of ASC 718. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and ASC 505 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1,804,393 and $1,950,725, respectively.

NOTE 3. SKYSAT SALE
 
On April 20, 2010, the Company and Global Telesat Corp. (“GTC”), a 4.6% shareholder of the Company, entered into an agreement whereby GTC purchased a 50% interest in the Company’s SkySat Mid Altitude, Lighter than Air (LTA), Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform.  The Company is required to utilize the Purchase Price to complete the requisite development work so that the Airship may be tested and demonstrated to potential customers.

The Company has agreed immediately to deliver the current Airship to a destination and facility designated by GTC.  Within three days of delivery of the Airship, GTC was required to pay 1/5th of the purchase price with additional payments of an equal amount each at 30-day intervals. The Company received a deposit of $50,000 on March 25, 2010 which was applied as a payment as of June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010 the Company has booked the transaction as revenue of $250,000 and to date has received $150,000.   The remaining balance of $100,000 is carried as accounts receivable.

The Company has granted to GTC, upon the payment in full of the Purchase Price, a first lien and security interest in the Airship and all remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code. The Company also granted GTC the option to acquire the remaining 50% of the Airship for an amount equal to 3 times the amount paid for the initial 50% interest.  Upon exercising such option, GTC will be required to pay 1/3 of the option price within ten business days and two additional payments 1/3 each at 30-day intervals.  The option expires December 31, 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, a balance of $999,900 remains payable to a different unrelated third party on an unsecured promissory note with no formal terms of repayment on the second note.  The Company has accrued interest at a rate of 7% per annum, which totals $267,141 from inception to June 30, 2010.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

On April 1, 2010 the Company entered into a subscription agreement with an accredited investor. The Company sold $28,500 of the Company’s 7% Convertible Debentures, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $.075 per share pursuant to the following terms. The funds were lent for the purpose of settling amounts due to the Internal Revenue Service.  If the Company is unable to settle the debt in full, then the funds shall be returned to investor.   The proceeds related to this investment are being held in escrow and are classified on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as Restricted cash.

NOTE 6.  INVENTORIES

NOTE 7.  JOINT VENTURE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On June 3, 2008, the Company restructured a previous agreement with TAO Technologies GmbH and Professor Bernd Kroplin. The new agreement called for the establishment of a new 50/50 US-based joint venture company to be called Sanswire-TAO that was to be owned equally by TAO and Sanswire Corp., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Sanswire Corp.—Florida.  The agreement required TAO Technologies and Kroplin to transfer the patents and intellectual property of TAO Technologies and Kroplin in the United States to Sanswire-TAO for a payment of $3,229,000.  

On June 3, 2008, the Company accounted for the transaction as a purchase of assets and recognized a $3,229,000 Intangible Asset related to the intellectual property, including existing patents. The Company has made cash and stock payments of $1,044,000 through June 30, 2010 and the remaining balance of $2,185,000 due for the investment is included in accrued expenses as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (See Note 4).
 
13

 
The Company determined that the intangible assets have a definite life equal to the remaining life of the patent, which was through March 3, 2012, and accordingly, is subject to amortization using that life or 40 months, which is $80,725 per month. During the normal process of testing for an intangible impairment, the Company updated its ASC 360 analysis as of the end of December 2009 and determined there were no cash flows associated with the Company’s intangible assets.  The Company has determined that the appropriate method of determining if any impairment has occurred was to assess the stated value for the intangible assets, as described above.

NOTE 8.  DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Derivative instruments are carrieded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income.

The fair value of derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

   
June 30,
 2010
   
December 31,
 2009
 
Warrants:
               
   Risk-free interest rate
   
0.18 – 1.00
%
   
0.14 – 1.45
%
   Expected volatility
   
10 - 184
%
   
10 - 168
%
   Expected life (in years)
   
0.42 – 3.00
     
0.08 – 2.92
 
   Expected dividend yield
   
     
 
Fair value:
               
   Warrants
 
$
2,553,948
   
$
1,406,665
 

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve.  In 2009, the Company’s expected volatility was based upon the historical volatility for its common stock.  The expected life of the warrants was determined by the expiration date of the warrants.  The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

NOTE 9. CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary conduct of our business, the Company is subject to periodic lawsuits, investigations and claims. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims asserted against us, the Company does not believe that any currently pending legal proceeding or proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is subject will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had the following material contingencies:

Securities and Exchange Commission

On September 28, 2006, the Company received a formal order of investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The formal order only named the Company and was not specific to any particular allegations. Through the use of subpoenas, the SEC has requested documentation from certain officers and directors of the Company. In subsequent subpoenas, the SEC has asked for additional documents and information.

On October 5, 2007, the Company received a "Wells Notice" from the SEC in connection with the SEC’s ongoing investigation of the Company. The Wells Notice provides notification that the staff of the SEC intends to recommend to the Commission that it bring a civil action against the Company for possible violations of the securities laws including violations of Sections 5 and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933; Sections 10(b), 13(a), and 13(b)(2)(A) & (B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, and 13a-13 thereunder; and seeking as relief a permanent injunction, civil penalties, and disgorgement with prejudgment interest. The SEC Staff is also considering recommending that the SEC authorize and institute proceedings to revoke the registration of Company’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act.

On May 2, 2008, the SEC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against GlobeTel Communications Corp. and three former officers of the Company, Timothy J. Huff, Thomas Y. Jimenez and Lawrence E. Lynch. The SEC alleges, among other things, that the Company recorded $119 million in revenue on the basis of fraudulent invoices created by Joseph Monterosso and Luis Vargas, two individuals formerly employed by the Company who were in charge of its wholesale telecommunications business.

The SEC alleges that the Company violated Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13 under the Exchange Act. The SEC seeks as relief a permanent injunction, civil penalties, and disgorgement with prejudgment interest. The Commission subsequently consolidated this action with another pending action involving former officers of the Company. The Commission has also moved to amend its complaint against the Company to include additional allegations of wrongdoing beginning in 2002, but such amendment did not add any new defendants. The Company has been vigorously defending itself in this action.

Hudson Bay Fund LP et al.

Hudson Bay Fund LP and Hudson Bay Overseas Fund Ltd. filed an action against the Company relating to the warrants attached to a Subscription Agreement between those entities and the Company. The Hudson Bay entities are seeking to reprice the warrants, increase the number of shares they can purchase pursuant to the warrants, certain equitable remedies, and unspecified damages. The Company has retained outside counsel and has filed an answer and affirmative defenses in the case. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action, but the outcome of the action cannot be predicted.

Former Consultants

The Company is a defendant in two lawsuits filed by Matthew Milo and Joseph Quattrocchi, two former consultants, filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Richmond County, Case no. 12119/00 and 12118/00). These matters were subsequently consolidated as a result of an Order of the court and now bear the singular index number 12118/00. The original lawsuits were for breach of contract. An Answer and Counterclaim had been interposed on both of these actions.

This case went before a Judicial Hearing Officer on July 6 and 7, 2006. No resolution occurred during the July hearing and the Judicial Hearing Officer has asked for written statements of facts and law. This case has been disposed of by the Supreme Court of the State of New York.  The case was disposed of on September 12, 2007.

Tsunami Communications v. GlobeTel

On March 3, 2006, Civil Action File No. 06-A-02368-5 was filed in Superior Court for Gwinnett County Georgia.  A purported shareholder of a company from whom GlobeTel purchased assets is seeking to receive shares of our common stock that they believe that they are entitled to as their pro-rata share of shares paid for the asset. We have asserted affirmative defenses and the trial of this matter was held in November 2009. We are waiting for a ruling from the Court.

NOTE 10. COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 39,885,832 shares of common stock for cash, debt, board compensation, and consulting agreements. Of the shares issued, 6,443,827 shares were issued for cash and 19,500,000 shares, or 48.9% were issued to insiders and affiliates as restricted securities under an exemption provide by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Regulation D, Rule 506, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The common stock issued was valued at prices ranging from $0.044 to $0.105 per share, based on the closing market prices on the date the board of directors authorized the issuances. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,734,666 shares of common stock primarily for cash.

NOTE 11. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

STOCK OPTIONS
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 700,000 options to acquire common stock to its former CEO and Board member.  The Company recorded $28,596 of compensation expense related to these options to acquire common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

The fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: 1.02% average risk-free interest rate; 152% expected volatility; three year expected term, and 0% dividend yield.

Employee options vest according to the terms of the specific grant and expire from 2 to 3 years from date of grant. As of June 30, 2010, all options issued and outstanding have fully vested. Stock option activity as of June 30, 2010 was as follows:
