Our Company
SiriCOMM was founded as a broadband wireless application service
provider to supply productivity and cost reduction software applications to the
commercial vehicle industry and other users whose effectiveness "over-the-road"
requires affordable driver connectivity and vehicle-access software productivity
tools.
On October 8, 2004, we announced that we had completed and opened the
first phase installation of a nationwide broadband wireless network that will
enable delivery of a wide range of service provider applications to those
businesses and governmental entities directly and indirectly dependent on the
2
nation's highway transportation system. To date, we have generated $20,000 in
revenues from our ISP product; and future significant revenues cannot be
guaranteed.
SiriCOMM was incorporated as a Delaware corporation under the name
"Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc." in April 1989. In approximately November 2002,
the shareholders of SiriCOMM, Inc., a privately-held Missouri corporation,
incorporated in 2000, exchanged all of the issued and outstanding common stock
of SiriCOMM, Inc. for a controlling interest in Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
with the result that all of the then officers and directors of Fountain
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. resigned and were replaced by persons designated by
SiriCOMM, Inc., and the name of Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was changed to
"SiriCOMM, Inc."
SiriCOMM's corporate address is 2900 Davis Boulevard, Suite 130,
Joplin, Missouri 64809, our telephone number is 417-626-9971 and our fax number
is 417-782-0475.
Summary of the Offering
As of December 31, 2004, we consummated a private placement of units
pursuant to a Confidential Investment Proposal, dated October 11, 2004 and
amended on December 20, 2004. Each unit consisted of 50,000 shares of common
stock and a warrant to purchase 37,500 shares of common stock. As part of the
private placement, we sold an aggregate of 6.38 units (319,000 shares and
warrants to purchase 239,250 shares of common stock) for an aggregate purchase
price of $638,000, or $100,000 per unit. The warrants entitle the holders to
purchase shares of the common stock for a period of five years from the date of
issuance at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants contain certain
anti-dilution rights and are redeemable by us, on terms specified in the
warrants.
In connection with the private placement, Laidlaw Co. (UK) Ltd (f/k/a
Sands Brothers International Limited) the placement agent in the private
placement, received a cash commission fee of 9% of the gross proceeds to us of
the securities sold at the closing, a payment of $30,000 representing the fees
and expenses of our counsel in the private placement and warrants to purchase
31,900 shares of common stock, or 10% of the shares sold in the private
placement. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an
exercise price of $2.40 per share and contain the same anti-dilution rights as
the common stock warrants issued in the December 2004 private placement.
In January 2005, we issued 85,000 shares of common stock upon the
exercise of certain warrants originally issued in January 2004 pursuant to a
private placement of units consisting of common stock and warrants. We received
$170,000 as a result of the exercise of these warrants. As an inducement to the
investors exercising their warrants, we also issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 63,750 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a
period of five years at an exercise price of $2.40 per share and contain the
same anti-dilution rights as the common stock warrants issued in the December
2004 private placement.
We are registering the 404,000 shares of common stock and the 334,900
shares of common stock underlying the warrants in connection with registration
rights agreements we entered into with certain of the selling shareholders. Our
registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that the selling
shareholders will exercise any of these warrants or sell any or all of the
underlying securities we have registered.
We are also registering 2,000,000 shares of common stock that we issued
to Sat-Net, Inc. in connection with services provided to us by Sat-Net, Inc.,
pursuant to the terms of a network installation agreement we entered into with
Sat-Net.
In February 2004, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of
200,000 shares of common stock to Messrs. Clark Burns and Philip Snowden
pursuant to a Finder's Agreement, dated November 14, 2003, between SiriCOMM and
Messrs. Burns and Snowden. We are registering the 200,000 shares of common stock
underlying these warrants pursuant to the terms of the Finder's Agreement.

RISK FACTORS
THIS INVESTMENT INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. BEFORE YOU INVEST YOU
SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE
OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ARE
REALIZED, OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE
HARMED AND THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK COULD GO DOWN. THIS MEANS YOU COULD LOSE ALL
OR A PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of significant losses, and we may never achieve or sustain
profitability.
Since our inception, we have generated minimal revenues, incurred
substantial net losses, and currently are experiencing a substantial cash flow
deficiency from operations. Based upon our audited financial statements, we
incurred net losses of $2,778,407 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004.
As of September 30, 2004, we had a deficit accumulated during our development
stage of $6,701,021. As of the three months ended December 31, 2004, our
unaudited net loss was $495,614, while we generated minimal revenues of $6,273.
For the three months ended December 31, 2004, our accumulated deficit increased
to $7,201,970.
We have a limited operating history making it difficult to evaluate our business
and our future prospects.
To date, we have generated minimal revenues and have a very limited
operating history on which investors can evaluate our potential for future
success. Potential investors should evaluate us in light of the expenses,
delays, uncertainties, and complications typically encountered by early-stage
businesses, many of which will be beyond our control. These risks include the
following:
o Lack of sufficient capital,
o Unanticipated problems, delays, and expenses relating to
product development and implementation,
o Lack of intellectual property,
o Licensing and marketing difficulties,
o Competition,
o Technological changes, and
o Uncertain market acceptance of our products and services.
As a result of our limited operating history, our plan for rapid
growth, and the increasingly prospective competitive nature of the markets in
which we compete, our historical financial data are of limited value in
anticipating future operating expenses. Our planned expense levels will be based
in part on our expectation concerning future revenue, which is difficult to
forecast accurately based on our stage of development. We may be unable to
adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in
revenue. Further, business development and marketing expenses may increase
significantly as we expand operations. To the extent that these expenses precede
or are not rapidly followed by a corresponding increase in revenue, our
business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially and
adversely affected. Our ability to generate revenue is uncertain and we may
never achieve profitability.
4
Our assumption of commercialization.
There can be no assurance that, when our products and services are
fully operational, either (i) our target market prospective customers will do
business with us or (ii) the level of business we generate, if any, will be
sufficient for us to generate a profit and sustain our business activities.
We will require significant additional capital to complete the installation of
our national broadband wireless network.
Our nationwide broadband wireless network is only partially built and
we will require significant capital to install the full number of WLAN sites we
believe are required to offer a nationwide network offering our products and
services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise this
additional required capital. If such capital is not raised, there can be no
assurance that the Network as it is currently installed in 38 states is
sufficiently dense or nationally robust enough to have functional utility for
our potential customers.
We expect to compete with large, well-capitalized companies.
Although we believe that we have no direct competitors, certain
companies "overlap" parts of our business model. There can be no assurance that
these companies, which are larger and better capitalized, will not respond to
competitive pressures presented by our business model. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to establish the credibility, products and services and
financial position needed to successfully compete against these companies.
Failure to do so could mean that we will substantially under-perform versus our
expectations.
We will compete in an industry that is characterized by rapid changes in
technology.
The business that we are launching is subject to rapid change and
evolution of the technology platforms, products and services available to
customers. There can be no assurance that either (i) the suite of products and
services that we have developed are currently the most up-to-date and
competitively priced or (ii) that such suite of products and services will not
be made obsolete as a result of the technology developments of competitors.
Our failure to have, maintain and continue to develop or acquire leading edge
technology could mean that we will substantially under-perform versus our
expectations.
Our business model requires that we continually develop and augment our suite of
products through internal development and acquisitions.
Our business model is dependent on our ability to augment our initial
suite of products and services with additional products and services important
to providing customers with an integrated communication and productivity suite
of products and services. There can be no assurance we have either the ability
or resources to accomplish this, the implication of which is that our
contemplated growth is subject to substantial risk.
Our ability to implement our business plan is dependent on our ability to
attract and retain key management employees.
While we believe that we have recruited the nucleus of a solid
management team, owing to our small size and thin capitalization, there can be
no assurance that we can retain these key management employees or that we can
hire the additional management and key employees that we need to grow. Our
failure to attract and retain key management employees could mean that we will
substantially under-perform versus our expectations and that investors in our
securities could lose some or all of their investment. We maintain key man
insurance on our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a USDA loan agreement. We
are a party to employment contracts with three (3) of our executive officers who
are also inside directors.
Disruption of our services due to accidental or intentional security breaches
may harm our reputation, potentially causing a loss of sales and an increase in
our expenses.
A significant barrier to the growth of wireless data services or
transactions on the Internet or by other electronic means has been the need for
secure transmission of confidential information. Our systems could be disrupted
5
by unauthorized access, computer viruses and other accidental or intentional
actions. We may incur significant costs to protect against the threat of
security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. If a third
party were able to misappropriate our users' personal or proprietary information
or credit card information, we could be subject to claims, litigation or other
potential liabilities that could materially adversely impact our revenue and may
result in the loss of customers.
There is no established market for SiriCOMM's services; we may not be able to
sell enough of our services to become profitable.
The markets for wireless data and transaction services are still
emerging. Continued growth in demand for, and acceptance of, these services
remains uncertain. Current barriers to market acceptance of these services
include cost, reliability, functionality and ease of use. We cannot be certain
that these barriers will be overcome. Our competitors may develop alternative
wireless data communications systems that gain broader market acceptance than
our systems. If the market for our services does not grow, or grows more slowly
than we currently anticipate, we may not be able to attract customers for our
services and our revenues would be adversely affected.
Our strategic alliances may not deliver the value we paid or will pay for them.
Excessive expenses may result if we do not successfully integrate our
strategic alliances, or if the costs and management resources we expend in
connection with these integrations exceed our expectations. Although we expect
that our strategic alliances (and any acquisitions or investments we may pursue
in the future) will have a continuing, significant impact on our business,
financial condition and operating results. No assurances can be given that any
such events will have the intended effects and results.
We may not achieve profitability if we are unable to maintain, improve and
develop the wireless data services we offer.
We believe that our future business prospects depend in part on our
ability to maintain and improve our current services and to develop new ones on
a timely basis. Our services will have to achieve market acceptance, maintain
technological competitiveness and meet an expanding range of customer
requirements. As a result of the complexities inherent in our service offerings,
major new wireless data services and service enhancements require long
development and testing periods. We may experience difficulties that could delay
or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of new services
and service enhancements. Additionally, our new services and service
enhancements may not achieve market acceptance. If we cannot effectively develop
and improve services, we may not be able to recover our fixed costs or otherwise
become profitable.
Any type of systems failure could reduce sales, increase costs or result in
claims of liability.
Any disruption from our satellite feeds or backup landline feeds could
result in delays in our subscribers' ability to receive information. We cannot
be sure that our systems will operate appropriately if we experience a hardware
or software failure or if there is an earthquake, fire or other natural
disaster, a power or telecommunications failure, intentional disruptions of
service by third parties, an act of God or an act of war. A failure in our
systems could cause delays in transmitting data, and as a result we may lose
customers or face litigation that could involve material costs and distract
management from operating our business.
We anticipate that our sales cycle will be long, and our stock price could
decline if sales are delayed or cancelled.
Quarterly fluctuations in our future operating performance will be
exacerbated by the length of time between our first contact with a business
customer and the first revenue from sales of services to that customer or end
users. Because our services represent a significant investment for our business
customers, we will spend a substantial amount of time educating them regarding
the use and benefits of our services and they, in turn, spend a substantial
amount of time performing internal reviews and obtaining capital expenditure
approvals before deciding to purchase our services. As much as a year may elapse
between the time we approach a business customer and the time we begin to
deliver services to a customer or end user. Any delay in sales of our services
could cause our quarterly operating results to vary significantly from projected
6
results, which could cause our stock price to decline. In addition, we may spend
a significant amount of time and money on a potential customer that ultimately
does not purchase our services.
New laws and regulations that impact our industry could increase our costs or
reduce our opportunities to earn revenue.
We are not currently subject to direct regulation by the Federal
Communications Commission or any other governmental agency, other than general
business regulations and regulations applicable to publicly traded Delaware
corporations of similar size that are headquartered in Missouri. However, in the
future, we may become subject to regulation by the FCC or other regulatory
agencies. In addition, the wireless carriers that supply our airtime and certain
of our hardware suppliers are subject to regulation by the FCC and regulations
that affect them could increase our costs or reduce our ability to continue
selling and supporting our services.
We are dependent upon long-term financing
Our ability to implement our business plan and grow is dependent on
raising a significant amount of capital. We have sustained our operations in
large part from sales of our equity. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to successfully generate revenues or raise additional funds sufficient to
finance our continued operations. In the long term, failure to generate
sufficient revenues or obtain financing would have a material adverse effect on
our business, operations and financial condition and would jeopardize our
ability to continue our operations. If we do raise additional funds by issuing
equity securities, further dilution to existing stockholders would result, and
future investors may be granted rights superior to those of existing
stockholders.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our common stock has experienced volatility in the past, and may experience
significant volatility in the future, which substantially increases the risk of
loss to persons owning our common stock
Because of the limited trading market for our common stock, and because
of the significant price volatility, stockholders may not be able to sell their
shares of common stock when they desire to do so. In 2003, our stock price
ranged from a high of $4.00 to a low of $.02, and in 2004, our stock price
ranged from a high of $6.00 to a low of $0.95. The inability to sell shares in a
rapidly declining market may substantially increase the risk of loss as a result
of such illiquidity and the price for our common stock may suffer greater
declines due to its price volatility.
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may be detrimental
to investors
Our shares of common stock are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board. Stocks traded on the OTC Bulletin Board generally have limited trading
volume and exhibit a wide spread between the bid/ask quotations. We cannot
predict whether a more active market for our stock will develop in the future.
In the absence of an active trading market:
o investors may have difficulty buying and selling our common
stock or obtaining market quotations;
o market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and
o a lack of visibility for our common stock may have a
depressive effect on the market price for our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to penny stock rules, which may be detrimental to
investors.
Our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the
Exchange Act, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers which sell our common stock to persons other than established
customers and "accredited investors" (generally, individuals with net worth in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together
with their spouses)). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer
must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale.
7
This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common
stock and purchasers of our common stock to sell their shares of such common
stock. Additionally, our common stock is subject to SEC regulations for "penny
stock." Penny stock includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The
regulations require that prior to any non-exempt buy/sell transaction in a penny
stock, a disclosure schedule set forth by the SEC relating to the penny stock
market must be delivered to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure
must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative and current price quotations for the common stock. The
regulations also require that monthly statements be sent to holders of penny
stock that disclose recent price information for the penny stock and information
of the limited market for penny stocks. These requirements adversely affect the
market liquidity of our common stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to 2,938,900 shares of our common stock, which
may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholders. We will not receive
any part of the proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling
shareholders. If all warrants are fully exercised without using any applicable
cashless exercise provisions, we will receive approximately $903,760 in cash
from the warrant holders. Any proceeds received by us from the exercise of the
warrants will be used by us for general corporate purposes.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
Our common stock presently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol "SIRC". From May 31, 1994 until November 21, 2002 our predecessor's
common stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "FPHI."
As of March 1, 2005, we had 18,686,450 outstanding shares of common
stock, $.001 par value. As of March 1, 2005, we had outstanding 213,417 shares
of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock").
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock converts into our common stock at the
rate of $2.00 per share. As of March 1, 2005 we had outstanding 4,803,018
warrants and options.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
high and low market prices of our common stock for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2003 and 2004:
Year Period High Low
---- ------ ---- ---
Fiscal Year 2003 First Quarter $4.00 $1.20
Second Quarter $2.25 $0.02
Third Quarter $2.40 $0.99
Fourth Quarter $2.00 $0.80
Fiscal Year 2004 First Quarter $1.40 $0.95
Second Quarter $4.90 $1.02
Third Quarter $6.00 $3.70
Fourth Quarter $5.15 $2.75
Fiscal Year 2005 First Quarter $4.30 $2.35
The closing price of our common stock on April 25, 2005 was $1.85.
The high and low prices are based on the average bid and ask prices for
common stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board. Such prices are
inter-dealer prices without retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions and may
not represent actual transactions.
Shareholders
Records of our stock transfer agent indicate that as of March 1, 2005,
we had 129 record holders of our common stock. Since a significant number of our
shares are held by financial institutions in "street name," it is likely that we
have significantly more stockholders than indicated above. We estimate that we
have approximately 1,000 beneficial holders, including such shares held in
"street name."
8
Dividend Policy
Our board of directors determines any payment of dividends. We have
never declared or paid any cash dividends, and we do not anticipate or
contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is our Board of
Directors intention to utilize all available funds for working capital of
SiriCOMM.
BUSINESS
Overview
SiriCOMM was founded as a broadband wireless application service
provider to supply productivity and cost reduction software applications to the
commercial vehicle industry and other users whose effectiveness "over-the-road"
requires affordable driver connectivity and vehicle-access software productivity
tools.
On October 8, 2004, we announced that we had completed and opened the
first phase installation of a nationwide broadband wireless network that will
enable delivery of a wide range of service provider applications to those
businesses and governmental entities directly and indirectly dependent on the
nation's highway transportation system. To date, we have generated $20,000 in
revenues from our ISP product; and there can be no guarantee of future
significant revenue generation.
Corporate Structure
SiriCOMM was incorporated as a Delaware corporation under the name
"Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc." in April 1989. In approximately November 2002,
the shareholders of SiriCOMM, Inc., a privately-held Missouri corporation,
incorporated in 2000, exchanged all of the issued and outstanding common stock
of SiriCOMM, Inc. for a controlling interest in Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
with the result that all of the then officers and directors of Fountain
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. resigned and were replaced by persons designated by
SiriCOMM, Inc., and the name of Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was changed to
"SiriCOMM, Inc."
Our Network
We are in the process of building a national broadband wireless network
that involves populating "hot spots" (i.e., user access sites located at
optimal, high density national highway locations) using standard IEEE 802.11b/g
technology and a dedicated proxy remote site server (RSS). The wireless local
area networks (WLANs) are connected by satellite uplink to our central hub
server, which, in turn, provides subscribers with high speed, two-way, broadband
access to the Internet. We have completed the installation and are currently
providing service from approximately 255 sites at Pilot Travel Centers to be
followed by an approximately 145 additional sites at other high traffic
locations, which we believe will give us an initial national network presence.
On December 28, 2004, we entered into a memorandum of understanding
with ACS State and Local Solutions, Inc. ("ACS") regarding a pilot project to
assess the value and service delivery capacity for our network services at ACS's
Prepass sites. The pilot project is limited to no more than ten (10) Prepass
weigh station locations. Upon successful completion of the pilot project, the
parties agreed to explore the possibility of providing value added service to
both the government market and the commercial carrier market through its full
implementation in approximately 255 sites.
There are four key components to SiriCOMM's network architecture: the
wireless local area network (WLAN), the remote site server (RSS), the satellite
communications link, and the central hub server. We believe these components use
the most advanced, proven technologies available today. We believe that we are
unique in that these proven technologies have, to our knowledge, never before
been integrated into an end-to-end solution.
Our satellite link is secured through an agreement with ViaSat, a
California-based satellite communications service provider. We selected ViaSat's
LinkStar product, which uses Ku-band to enable wideband transmission of data
between the RSS stations and the central hub server. ViaSat's service, when
combined with SiriCOMM's database replication and data compression technologies,
we believe, maximizes the capacity of the satellite bandwidth and substantially
9
reduces the cost of satellite data communications. As a result, we believe, the
system will provide greater bandwidth-to-cost ratios when compared to other
communications options.
SiriCOMM's proprietary RSS incorporates the functions of router,
caching-proxy server, video-on-demand server, web server and e-mail server into
a single compact package. The RSS stations are custom-built computers running a
custom operating system based on the BSD 5.2 kernel (Unix). The servers are
designed for reliable, unattended 24x7 operation and feature mechanisms that
enhance reliability. The operating firmware runs from nonvolatile solid-state
memory, not a mechanical hard disk, which enables the servers to be remotely and
completely reformatted from our Network Operations Center (NOC). We believe that
the unique design features and capacity of the RSS's will provide substantial
opportunity for future applications to include pay-per-view video, audio file
downloading, fleet intranet hosting, distance learning and other similar
services.
With our central hub server (located in Kansas City, Missouri) and
satellite interfaces in place and the first approximately 255 WLANs completed,
our broadband wireless network was "switched on" as of October 7, 2004 and is
technically operational and available for use in 38 states. We currently plan,
within calendar year 2005, to complete the installation of approximately 600
WLANs to allow us to be available for service in the entire "lower 48 states"
with sufficient locational "hot spot" density to permit customers convenient,
full service, national access. Such additional installations will be subject to
our raising additional sufficient capital.
Subscribers will be able to access our portal website,
signup.subscribers-siricomm.com, to sign up for services, using 802.11b/g
wireless enabled computers and handheld devices. The devices can communicate
with the WLAN from within approximately one-half a mile of the WLAN access
point-- currently at Pilot Travel Centers with plans to expand to other a
highway truck stops, rest areas, weigh stations, or ports of entry.
Subscribers will be able to access each SiriCOMM WLAN using any of
several devices. The network supports common devices including Palm OS or
PocketPC hand held computers or a PC, laptop or tablet running Mac OS or Windows
98, NT, 2000, or XP PCs, laptops, and tablets. The only requirements are a
compatible 802.11 card having a MAC number properly registered with us.
When connected to the WLAN, subscribers will be able to exchange
application data, send and receive e-mail, communicate with their company/agency
headquarters' intranet, get updated road conditions, news and weather, and
download games, access business and travel software applications. The satellite
link allows up to 58 megabit per second bursts to all RSS stations from the
central hub server and the RSS stations can communicate back to the central hub
server at data rates up to 3.3 Mbps.
We are also negotiating with additional organizations to enter into
strategic alliances to further build out our "hot spot" infrastructure with a
goal of installing approximately 145 additional "hot spots" within 120 days of
finalizing such agreements. By the end of calendar year 2005, we plan to have a
total of approximately 1,000 sites installed, but have not yet raised sufficient
capital to achieve this goal. No assurances can be given that we will be able
to achieve such goal and such goals are dependent upon our success in the
raising of additional capital.
Initial Target Markets
With a national network presence, we believe our market of opportunity
can serve the commercial trucking industry, federal and state law enforcement,
recreation vehicles, business travelers, and the general driving public as our
initial "Target Markets"
Initially, we have directed our market initiatives with a two-pronged
focus:
o Trucking. According to the American Trucking Association
Economics and Statistics Group in a report published for the
period January-May 2004, in 2002 the United States trucking
industry had over 485,000 fleets, with over 2.6 million Class
8 trucks (excluding government and farm) in use (by
definition, a fleet is one or more trucks with a U.S.
Department of Transportation issued motor carrier number). To
include Classes 3-8, this number rises to 6.1 million trucks
used for business purposes. In this same report, it stated
that 4.9 million commercial trailers were registered in 2002.
We believe that only 10% of trucks on the road today utilize
10
in-cab data communications because current solutions are
expensive to install, feature variable monthly service fees,
and offer no clearly documented return on investment.
We believe our products and services offer fleet owners low
up-front costs, fixed monthly fees and verifiable returns on
investment. To attempt to provide these returns on investment,
our solution will combine (i) affordable basic broadband
Internet network access coupled with (ii) a suite of products
and services, some proprietary to us and others developed by
third-parties where we have forged an alliance. These products
and services, we believe, address long-standing industry
problems through proprietary software that enables: paperless
shipping documents with signature capture, paperless driver
logs, fuel purchasing productivity software, electronic
vehicle performance data, decision support tools, and other
two-way, high bandwidth wireless communications opportunities.
o Government. We are also attempting to develop a suite of
products to be marketed to government agencies. We believe we
have a business opportunity with both state and local highway
and traffic authorities as well as, potentially, the Office of
Home Land Security--especially if our WLANs are authorized for
points of entry into the United States of America. No
assurances can be given that these attempts will be successful
or result in any significant revenues.
Products and Services
Our business model is a subscription-based customer access model where
businesses and governmental customers will pay monthly network access fees to
subscribe for various services that we plan to provide through a combination of:
(i) proprietary application specific products developed by us which are
accessible by customers via the network and (ii) other products and services
developed by third parties which require network access for delivery to the
user.
These products and services fall generically into two categories:
o Basic Internet Access - IN TOUCH(TM) : We believe certain of
our target market customers will seek to subscribe to our
service solely to gain access to the Internet. These target
market customers are likely to be independent truckers, others
in the private sector and certain state and local governmental
highway safety and law enforcement agencies who seek only
basic email and informational access afforded by the Internet.
For this portion of our target market, we will offer our IN
TOUCH(TM) Internet Services Provider service for a monthly
service fee.
o Application Specific Productivity Software. Our founders'
believe through experience that next generation commercial
vehicle cost reductions and productivity improvements will
come from driver-based decision support tools. SiriCOMM was
founded as a broadband wireless application service provider
to supply productivity and cost reduction software
applications to the commercial vehicle industry. For this
target market segment, we intend to offer the following
initial suite of proprietary productivity software tools (the
"Proprietary Software Productivity Tools"):
PULSE(TM): This is a passive wireless device connected to the
vehicle ECM (engine control module) which is programmed with
our software to provide trucking fleet operators with:
o Wireless, remote vehicle diagnostics
o Driver performance diagnostics
o Global Positioning System coordinates
BEACON(TM): We have developed this proprietary software
product to address critical productivity needs of the trucking
industry--i.e., cost reduction, productivity improvement,
safety and security enhancements. The BEACON(TM) package
includes IN TOUCH and, when bundled with the PULSE(TM)
product, will enable greater functionality. The initial suite
of applications within BEACON includes:
E-freight bill E-maintenance tracking
E-fuel network purchasing E-Pay settlement
11
E-load finder E-logbook
E-driver referral Fleet intranet hosting
The proposed monthly subscription includes access to the
entire suite of software described above, unlimited Internet
access (IN TOUCH), and a wireless enabled Palm OS client
device. The individual components (i.e., PULSE or BEACON) can
also be subscribed as stand alone options. We have developed a
cost justification model, which we believe can demonstrate
expected savings of up to six times the monthly fee per truck.
In addition, we believe the BEACON platform can easily support
expansion for other revenue opportunities to include:
pay-per-view movies, advertising, networked gaming and
distance learning, to name a few. However, no specific
economic model has been completed to cost justify these
enhancements.
Sales and Marketing.
With the initial phase of our network backbone in place and operational
in approximately 38 states, we believe that the sales and marketing initiatives
that we undertook while the network was being installed now have the possibility
of generating revenue. These efforts are two-pronged as follows:
o Direct Sales. To market and sell our Proprietary Software
Productivity Tools, we employ our own direct sales force. This
direct sales force is primarily (i) marketing to the nation's
larger commercial trucking fleet operators and (ii) following
up in an effort to up-sell selected customers originated by
our sales and marketing alliance partners (see next below). At
present, our sales force is comprised of an Executive Vice
President of Sales and a National Sales Manager. We expect
that we will hire additional sales persons as opportunities
arise to support such expansion.
o Alliance Partners/VAR's. We have established, among others,
the following sales and marketing alliance
partners/value-added resellers (VAR's) in an effort to
escalate the time period within which we and our products and
services gain traction in our target markets.
Idling Solutions. Idling Solutions, LLC ("ISL") is a supplier
of integrated idle reduction solutions for the trucking
industry. Its principal product, the IS9000, includes a high
capacity battery pack and auxiliary heating and cooling unit
for installation on commercial heavy-duty trucks. The IS9000
will enable truck fleets to promote fuel conservation by
eliminating idling and, as a result, will also sharply reduce
exhaust emissions and engine maintenance costs. We believe
that, because off-duty truck drivers sleep in the cabs of
their trucks, they have had to depend on idling their truck
engines to generate heat or air conditioning as well as power
for appliances such as laptops, radios, and televisions. The
IS9000 power pack replaces the conventional starterbatteries
and also supports comfort amenities for drivers. The system
contains enough power to keep a truck tractor sleeper
comfortable for ten or more hours. We have an exclusive
arrangement with ISL pursuant to which we will provide
wireless subscription service for trucks using the IS9000
product. Through this agreement we will deliver data necessary
for ISL to verify warranty performance of the IS9000 and file
on behalf of our customers Mobile Emissions Reductions Credits
(MERC) tax credits. We will charge a nominal subscription rate
per month, which will provide the ISL customers with minimal
amounts of data and we expect to "upsell" our BEACON and PULSE
services to a substantial number of the ISL subscribers. The
purpose of these services is to provide a real-time,
certifiable record that the truck was not moving and was,
indeed, turned off.
Getloaded.com. We have entered into a value-added reseller
(VAR) agreement with Getloaded.com, one of the nation's
largest freight matching services. Getloaded.com currently
serves approximately 16,000 fleets and approximately 250,000
trucks subscribing to its freight matching services.
Getloaded.com believes that its relationship with us will
enable it to migrate from a call center-based business model
to a primarily on-line service. Getloaded.com has verbally
informed us that it plans to sell subscriptions to our ISP
through its call center and its billing services operations.
DriverTech. We have signed an agreement with DriverTech, a
Salt Lake City-based supplier of ruggedized vehicle computers
for the U.S. military pursuant to which DriverTech's TruckPC,
12
the commercial version of its military product that is in wide
use in Iraq and Afghanistan, will use our network as its
primary communications medium. In addition, DriverTech will be
a value-added reseller of our BEACON(TM) products. The
addition of BEACON, we believe, gives TruckPC far greater
functionality and portability. Presently, DriverTech has
verbally informed us that it has scheduled several large
truckload fleets to beta test its product.
In each of these VAR arrangements, we compensate the VAR with a
percentage of the revenues generated as a result of the VAR's sales and
marketing success. No assurances can be given as to when, if ever, these
arrangements will generate significant revenue to us.
Competition
Based upon our business approach and pioneering technology, we believe that
there currently are no direct competitors in the trucking or highway wireless
market. However, competition is inevitable and we believe existing entities as
well as new entities will enter the marketplace. Many of such entities will have
substantially more funds, experience, employees and other resources than us. As
a result, no assurances can be given that we will be able to compete with such
entities. We, however, believe that we have certain technological advantages,
and our affordable productivity tools, extensive industry experience, and
patents pending present certain entry barriers for potential competitors.
Notwithstanding, there are several competitors whose services "overlap" our
service offerings to some extent. These include Qualcomm, Aether Systems,
@tracks (formally Highway Master), PeopleNet, PSTN-based WLAN providers, and
wireless telecommunications companies.
o Qualcomm. Qualcomm's satellite communications and tracking
system provides Global Positioning System (GPS) truck locating
and low bandwidth text messaging transmissions. Qualcomm
currently has approximately 425,000 units installed worldwide.
The system functions well, but offers limited benefits to
companies according to many subscribers. Our management
believes that this system is very costly to purchase, install,
and operate. There is a minimum monthly messaging fee and
additional charges per character when the minimum is exceeded.
o Aether Systems (acquired by Platinum Equity- Sept. 20, 2004).
Aether's transportation services division provides services
very similar to those of Qualcomm. Although it has several
truckload fleet customers as a result of its acquisition of
@tracks, its principal base of customers is service fleets
such as Sears, JC Penney, etc. Like Qualcomm its principal
services include tracking and text messaging. Its equipment
and monthly usage fees are expensive, management believes, by
industry standards.
o @tracks. Acquired by Aether in April, 2002, this mobile
communication product is designed to address communication and
information needs of the trucking industry. The system allows
trucking companies, brokers, and families to communicate with
drivers who are on the road. In addition, the system can send
and receive data and messages, determine GPS truck location,
manage and track loads, and track vehicle mileage. Data is
transferred using a combination of cellular and satellite
technology. Consequently, the system is viewed by our
management to be expensive to purchase and install, though
less than Qualcomm. The monthly usage fees, however, are
extremely high compared to Qualcomm due principally to the
cellular component of the service. Relatively few of these
units are in service compared to Qualcomm.
o PeopleNet. PeopleNet provides web-based fleet communications
ranging from GPS tracking only to low bandwidth text, voice
and applications. PeopleNet operates on Aeris.Net's Microburst
service, a technology that uses underutilized portions of
partner cellular provider's channels to send and receive small
packets of data. For fleets electing to install the full suite
of equipment and services, PeopleNet offers several
applications similar to our applications. However, as it is a
low bandwidth solution it does not offer Internet, intranets,
or other applications requiring higher bandwidth. Equipment
costs and monthly service fees are comparatively high, though
somewhat less than Qualcomm, and equipment installation must
be performed at one of PeopleNet's hub facilities.
o PSTN-Based WLAN Providers. PSTN-based WLAN providers are
companies that install wireless LANs using public switched
telephone networks (PSTN), usually T-1 lines or digital
13
subscriber lines, for access to the Internet. These businesses
typically target business travelers with Internet and email
access in airports, coffee shops and hotel lobbies. Monthly
service charges are high in comparison to the other services
and applications provided. For example, Boingo, a nationwide
hot spot aggregator, charges $79.95 per month for unlimited
access. Though these providers are identified as competition,
we anticipate developing roaming agreements with key
identified hot spot providers.
Government Regulation and Industry Standards
Our products and services are currently not regulated by the FCC or
local governments. The regulatory process in the United States can be
time-consuming and can require the expenditure of substantial resources. There
is no assurance that the FCC or state regulatory agencies will not seek to
regulate the use of frequencies utilized by our services or, if such services
are regulated, grant the requisite approvals for any of our products on a timely
basis, or at all. The failure of our products to comply, or delays in
compliance, with the various existing and evolving standards could negatively
impact our ability to market our products and services. United States and state
regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of modems and other data
communications devices are subject to future change. We cannot predict what
impact, if any, such changes may have on our business.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 17, 2004, Henry Hoffman, Kory Dillman, David Mendez, Tom
Noland, Richard Iler and Terry Thompson were named defendants in a lawsuit
entitled Greg Sanders v. Henry Hoffman et al. Messrs. Hoffman, Dillman, Mendez
and Iler are officers and directors of SiriCOMM, Mr. Thompson is a director of
SiriCOMM and Mr. Noland is a former officer and director of SiriCOMM. The action
was brought in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri at Kansas City
(04CV236387). The action alleges fraud, misrepresentation and breach of
fiduciary duty relating to a settlement agreement entered into with Mr. Sanders.
SiriCOMM is not a party to this lawsuit. The complaint seeks damages in excess
of $9,679,903. We will pay all expenses relating to the defense of this matter.
In management's opinion this case is without merit and the defendants intend on
defending this matter vigorously.
We are not a party to any other legal or administrative proceedings.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our principal executive offices are located at 2900 Davis Blvd., Suite
130 Joplin, MO 64804, where we occupy approximately 1,200 square feet of office
space. Our rent for this space is $1,200 per month. We lease this space on a
month-to-month basis.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties,
such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results
and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including
those set forth under "Risks Relating to Our Business," "Description of
Business" and elsewhere in this document. See "Forward-Looking Statements."
Background
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant
14
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We evaluate our estimates, including those related to contingencies, on an
ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policy, among others,
involves the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
our consolidated financial statements.
We account for compensation costs associated with stock options and
warrants issued to non-employees using the fair-value based method prescribed by
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
We use the tri-nominal options-pricing model to determine the fair value of
these instruments as well as to determine the values of options granted to
certain lenders by the principal stockholder. The following estimates are used
for grants in fiscal years 2004 and 2005: Expected future volatility over the
expected lives of these instruments is estimated to mirror historical experience
of 75 %; expected lives of 2 years is estimated based on management's judgment
of the time period by which these instruments will be exercised.
Plan of Operations
We are engaged in the development of broadband wireless software and
network infrastructure solutions for the commercial transportation industry and
government market. We have a vertically integrated technology platform
incorporating both software applications and broadband network infrastructure
and access. The vertical-specific, enterprise-grade software solutions are
designed to help businesses of any size and the government to significantly
increase profitability, reduce operating costs, improve productivity and
operational efficiencies, enhance safety, and strengthen security. Our unique,
commercial-grade private network solution is built for enterprises and
integrates multiple technologies to enable an ultra high-speed,
open-architecture wireless data network for our software applications and
Internet access. We believe that our vertical-specific software, network
technology, deep industry relationships, and low cost of operations represent
significant value to the commercial transportation industry and the government
market.
Our patent-pending network infrastructure solution provides
considerable benefits when compared to other solutions competing in the wireless
sector. We will install network access nodes using Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)
access points at strategic locations nationwide. Each wireless local area
network is interconnected using satellite communications and the company's
proprietary server solution. The point-to-multipoint broadcast feature of our
network provides considerable cost-to-bandwidth efficiencies. Our software
applications leverage this optimized data network to deliver significant cost
reduction and productivity improvement opportunities to subscribing companies.
For a flat, low monthly fee subscribers will have access to a suite of
productivity software, the Internet, e-mail, proprietary company intranet
information, and similar business tools. Users will connect to the network using
any 802.11-compatible device. For the most mobile subscribers, we recommend a
Wi-Fi-enabled Palm OS handheld computer. Our productivity enhancing solutions
are expected to become commercially available during the third quarter of the
year 2005.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we completed and activated
255 access points on our network and commenced selling our InTouchTM Internet
Service. As a result we generated revenue of $6,273 compared to $0 in the same
period last year.
During the three months ended December 31, 2004, net losses totaled
$495,614. For the three months ended December 31, 2004, our general and
administrative expenses totaled $150,193 or 30.1 % of total operating expenses,
while for the three months ended December 31, 2003 general and administrative
expenses totaled $347,343 or 63.6% of total operating expenses. The decrease was
mostly attributable to decreased professional expenses and other costs
associated with raising debt or equity financing. For the three months ended
December 31, 2004, we incurred salaries of $235,337, or 47.1% of operating
expenses, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2003, $129,180, or
23.7% of total operating expenses. The increase was due to the addition of
15
several individuals necessary to continue our growth goals. Network access fees
of $93,870 had been incurred in the three-month period ending December 31, 2004
as we commenced operations of our network. The previously mentioned changes
resulted in the total operating expenses decreasing to $499,288 in 2005 from
$546,146 in 2004.
For the three months ending December 31, 2004, interest expense was
$4,460 as compared to $14,777 for the three months ended December 31, 2003.
Network equipment in progress of installation increased in the
three-month period ended December 31, 2004, to $846,000 from $646,000 for fiscal
year ended September 30, 2004, as we made a further progress payment on the
installation of 255 WLAN sites.
Other accrued expenses increased to $157,858 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2004 compared to $45,928 as of September 30, 2004, as we
incurred network access fees from opening our network for commercial usage.
Results of Operations 2004 Compared to 2003
During fiscal 2004, we advanced our efforts towards commercialization
of our products and services. To that end, we reached various agreements with
original equipment manufacturers, truck-stop operators and other sales agents.
Operating expenses increased from $1,599,608 in 2003 to $2,585,327 in 2004 as a
direct result of our developing and marketing our products and services,
increased professional expenses and costs associated with raising debt and
equity financing. Included in operating expenses in 2004 is an aggregate of
$50,000 in stock-based compensation charges for the intrinsic value of options
granted to our personnel. Research and development expenses were minimal and
decreased to $26,450 in 2004 from $77,567 in 2003 due to cash flow
considerations.
Interest expense decreased to $26,578 in 2004 from $50,948 in 2003. The
decrease is attributable to the retirement of notes and conversion of several
debt obligations into equity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have financed our activities primarily from
short-term loans and private sales of our securities. During fiscal 2003, we
borrowed an aggregate of $680,000 from several lenders. We issued promissory
notes to these lenders. The notes had varying interest rates ranging from 4% to
10%. In addition, of the $680,000, an aggregate of approximately $570,000 was
converted into our preferred or common equity during the first and second
quarters of fiscal 2004. We have also raised proceeds through the private sale
of our equity. In March 2004 a private placement consisting of 2,000,000 units
at a $1.00 per unit was completed, each unit consisting of one share of our
common stock and one three-year warrant exercisable at $2.00 per share. In May
2004, we completed a private placement of 328,143 units at $3.40 per unit. Each
unit consisted of one share of common stock and one quarter (1/4) three-year
warrant exercisable at $4.75 per share. We received proceeds in connection with
these private placements of $1,115,689.
In October 2004, we borrowed $200,000 on our line of credit facility
with Southwest Missouri Bank. The proceeds were paid to Sat-Net in conjunction
with the installation and distribution of hotspots. Amounts borrowed pursuant to
this line of credit facility can be used for infrastructure equipment purchases
and cannot be used for general operating purposes.
Pursuant to a contract between Pilot Travel Centers and us, in
consideration for Pilot's permitting us to install our broadband wireless
network in Pilot's 255 travel centers, we issued, upon completion of the
installation and testing in October 2004, 255,000 common stock purchase warrants
exercisable for five years, expiring on May 27, 2009 at an exercise price of
$4.50 per share.
As of December 31, 2004, we consummated a private placement of units
pursuant to a Confidential Investment Proposal dated October 11, 2004 and
amended on December 20, 2004. Each unit consisted of 50,000 shares of our common
stock and a common stock warrant to purchase 37,500 shares of common stock . In
the private placement, we sold an aggregate of 6.38 Units (319,000 shares and
16
warrants to purchase 239,250 shares of common stock) for an aggregate purchase
price of $638,000, or $100,000 per unit. The warrants entitle the holders to
purchase shares of the common stock for a period of five years from the date of
issuance at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants contain certain
anti-dilution rights and are redeemable by us, on terms specified in the
warrants.
In connection with the private placement, Laidlaw Co. (UK) Ltd. (f/k/a
Sands Brothers International Limited) the placement agent in the private
placement, received a cash commission fee of nine (9%) of the gross proceeds to
us of the securities sold at the closing, a payment of $30,000 representing the
fees and expenses of our counsel in the private placement and warrants to
purchase 31,900 shares of common stock, or ten percent (10%) of the shares of
our common stock sold in the private placement. These warrants are exercisable
for a period of five years at an exercise price of $2.40 per share and contain
the same anti-dilution rights as the warrants issued in the private placement.
In connection with the private placement, we also agreed to file with
the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issued in
the private placement and the shares of common stock issued underlying the
warrants issued in the private placement, including the warrant issued to the
placement agent. If such registration statement is not filed within the required
time frame, or does not become effective within 120 days of the closing date, we
have agreed to pay to the investors 1% of the gross proceeds of the private
placement for each thirty (30) day period in which we fail to comply with such
requirements
On January 5, 2005, we issued an aggregate of 85,000 shares of our
common stock upon the exercise of a like number of warrants, exercisable at
$2.00 per share. The warrants were originally issued in January 2004 pursuant to
a private placement of our units consisting of common stock and warrants.
As an inducement to the investors exercising their warrants, we issued
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 63,750 shares of common stock to the
investors. The new warrants entitle the holders to purchase shares of our common
stock reserved for issuance thereunder for a period of five years from the date
of issuance at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants contain
anti-dilution rights and are redeemable by us, in whole or in part, on terms
specified in the warrants.
As a further inducement to the investors exercising their warrants, we
also agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares
purchased by each investor as part of the units, the shares issued upon exercise
of the warrants and the shares underlying the new warrants.
On February 7, 2005, we entered into a network installation agreement
with Sat-Net Communications, Inc., pursuant to which Sat-Net agreed to provide
us certain services in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of our common stock,
warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price
of $2.00 per share that are exercisable upon the completion of certain services,
and cash consideration. We have agreed to register the 2,000,000 shares held by
Sat-Net pursuant to the terms of the network installation agreement.
The cash proceeds of the above sales of our securities were used for
general corporate purposes in developing our planned services.
We will continue our installation plans toward denser coverage of our
nation wide network. Additional financing will be required to fund such
installations, but there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain
such funds under acceptable terms.
On January 24, 2005, we repaid a note payable of $25,000 plus accrued
interest to an individual investor.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a
revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. The
approach to accounting for share-based payments in Statement 123(R) is similar
to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires
all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values
and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative to financial
statement recognition. We will be required to adopt Statement 123(R) at the
beginning of our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2006. We have not determined
what financial statement impact Statement 123(R) will have on us.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On April 7, 2004, based upon the recommendation of and approval by our
board of directors, we dismissed Aidman Piser & Company, P.A. ("Aidman Piser")
as our independent auditor and engaged BKD, LLP to serve as our independent
auditor for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004. On May 11, 2004, at the
annual shareholders meeting, our shareholders affirmed the engagement of BKD,
LLP as our independent auditors.
Aidman Piser's reports on our consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, contained a qualified opinion as to our
ability to continue as a "going concern" in our absence of revenues, or the
ability to attract additional capital. During the years ended September 30, 2003
and 2002 and through April 7, 2004, there were no disagreements with Aidman
Piser on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Aidman
Piser's satisfaction, would have caused them to make references to the subject
matter in connection with their reports of our consolidated financial statements
for such years. In addition, we believe there were no reportable events as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B.
We provided Aidman Piser with a copy of the foregoing statements and
requested that Aidman Piser provide it with a letter addressed to the SEC
stating whether it agrees with the foregoing statements. A copy of Aidman
Piser's letter, dated April 7, 2004, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2004.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
From December 2002 through September 2003, we borrowed an aggregate of
$375,000 from unaffiliated third parties and $30,000 from Mr. Henry P. Hoffman,
our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors.
This loan was repaid in 2004. In connection with this loan, Mr. Hoffman issued
an aggregate of 375,000 options to purchase shares of his own stock at $1.00 per
share to several persons, including Mr. Terry Thompson and Quest Capital
Alliance LLC. On August 8, 2003, Mr. Terry Thompson, who had loaned us an
aggregate of $50,000 and received 19,684 of shares of our common stock and
50,000 of the options issued by Mr. Hoffman, was elected to our Board of
21
Directors. The shares were issued under the exemption from registration provided
in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The lenders represented their intention
to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale
in connection with any distribution of the securities and appropriate legends
were affixed to the certificates. We utilized the proceeds of these loans for
general working capital purposes.
On February 26, 2004 Southwest Missouri Bank extended a $1 million line
of credit to us. The loan is federally guaranteed by the United States
Department of Agriculture as part of the Rural Development Program. This loan is
also guaranteed by Mr. Hoffman, as well as by his wife. We have not compensated
Mr. Hoffman for providing this guaranty.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description includes the material terms of our common
stock. However, it is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the
provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, with amendments, all of which
have been filed as exhibits to our registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,500,000 shares of stock. We
are authorized to issue two classes of stock that consist of 500,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share.
As of March 1, 2005, we had outstanding 213,417 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock converts into our common
stock at the rate of $2.00 per share. The shares may be converted to fully-paid
and non-assessable shares of common stock at the option of the holder at $2.00
per share. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option
of the holder three years subsequent to the date of issuance at a redemption
price equal to 110% of the stated value, plus an amount per share equal to all
accrued and unpaid dividends. No dividends were declared during the year ended
September 30, 2004, but dividends were accrued in accordance with the cumulative
dividends rate of $.10 per share per annum.
As of March 1, 2005, we had 18,686,450 outstanding shares of common
stock, $.001 par value. We have reserved [5,701,118] shares of common stock for
issuance pursuant to outstanding options and warrants. Each issued and
outstanding share is fully paid and non-assessable. No pre-emptive rights exist
with respect to any of our common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock
are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the
stockholders. Holders of shares of our common stock have no cumulative voting
rights. Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in
dividends, if any, as may be declared, from time to time by our Board of
Directors in its discretion, from funds legally available for any such
dividends. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of SiriCOMM,
the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to their pro rata share
of all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The Delaware General Corporation Law and our Bylaws provide for
indemnification of our directors for liabilities and expenses that they may
incur in such capacities. In general, our directors and officers are indemnified
with respect to actions taken in good faith and in a manner such person believed
23
to be in our best interests, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, actions that such person has no reasonable cause to believe were
unlawful. Furthermore, the personal liability of our directors is limited as
provided in our Certificate of Incorporation.
We maintain directors and officers liability insurance with an
aggregate coverage limit of $1,000,000.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the
SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is therefore unenforceable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which
the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker/dealer solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker/dealer will attempt to sell
the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker/dealer as principal and resale by the
broker/dealer for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the Rules of the
applicable exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o settlement of short sales;
o broker/dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell
a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per
share;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker/dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for
other brokers/dealers to participate in sales. Broker/dealers may receive
commissions from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker/dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions to exceed
what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a
security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them
and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the
pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from
time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus
under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933
amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or
other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.
The selling shareholders and any broker/dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any
commissions received by such broker/dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders have informed us
that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any person to distribute the common stock.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
24
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This prospectus covers the offer and sale by the selling shareholders
of up to 2,404,000 shares of common stock and an additional 534,900 shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants. 334,900 of these
warrants have an exercise price of $2.40 per share and 200,000 of these warrants
have an exercise price of $0.50 per share.
We are registering for resale shares issued by us in private placements
and shares issuable on exercise of warrants issued by us in private placements.
All such shares issued or to be issued are and will be restricted securities as
that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will remain
restricted unless and until such shares are sold pursuant to this prospectus or
otherwise are sold in compliance with Rule 144.
On February 7, 2005, we entered into a network installation agreement
with Sat-Net Communications, Inc., pursuant to which Sat-Net agreed to provide
us certain services in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of our common stock,
warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price
of $2.00 per share that are exercisable upon the completion of certain services,
and cash consideration. We have agreed to register the 2,000,000 shares held by
Sat-Net pursuant to the terms of the network installation agreement.
In the purchase agreements, each of the selling shareholders
represented that it had acquired the shares for investment purposes only and
with no present intention of distributing those shares, except in compliance
with all applicable securities law. In addition, each of the selling
shareholders represented that each qualifies as an "accredited investor" as such
term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the
shares of common stock by the selling shareholders. We will not receive any
proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling shareholders. We
will receive proceeds from the warrants, if exercised. The following table also
sets forth the name of each person who is offering the resale of shares of
common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock
beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may
be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person
will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered.
The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in
accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not
necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such
rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling
shareholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any
shares the selling shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days.
Percentages are based on a total of 18,686,450 shares of common stock
outstanding on March 1, 2005. Shares of common stock subject to options and
warrants currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible
within 60 days of March 1, 2005, are deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage of the selling shareholder holding such option or warrant but are not
deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other selling
shareholder.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
(UNAUDITED)
1. Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies:
Nature of Operations:
SiriCOMM, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), through its
wholly owned subsidiary of the same name, which was incorporated in the
State of Missouri on April 24, 2000, has developed broadband wireless
application service technologies intended for use in the transportation
industries. The Company opened its network in December for commercial
operation and has commenced selling its InTouch(TM) Internet Service to
individual subscribers.
The Company was considered to be in the development stage during its
most recent reporting period ending September 30, 2004. Since September
30, 2004, the Company has commenced revenue producing operations and
continues to market its service technologies, including satellite
communications, wireless networking, and productivity enhancing
software.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interim Information:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments that are in the opinion of the company's
management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the Company. Those adjustments consist
only of normal recurring adjustments.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the
Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB annual report for fiscal year ended September 30,
2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1. Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies
(continued):
The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.
Stock-based Compensation:
The Company accounts for compensation costs associated with stock
options issued to employees under the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 whereby compensation is recognized to
the extent the market price of the underlying stock at the grant date
exceeds the exercise price of the option granted. Stock-based
compensation to non-employees is accounted for using the fair-value
based method prescribed by Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 -
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company uses the trinomial
options-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based
compensation and capital contributions. Previously, the Company had
used the Black-Scholes model, but it has determined that the trinomial
model is better suited to evaluate the variability of uncertain holding
horizons.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been
determined on the fair value at the grant dates for stock-based
employee compensation arrangements consistent with the method required
by SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per common share would
have been the pro forma amounts indicated below.

1. Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies
(continued):
Research and development costs:
The Company incurs costs, associated with computer software to be
marketed in the future. Costs incurred in connection with establishing
technological feasibility have been expensed as research and
development costs.
Net loss per share:
Net loss per share represents the net loss available to common
stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the
potential dilution that could occur if convertible preferred stock was
converted into common stock. Diluted net loss per share is considered
to be the same as basic net loss per share since the effect of the
issuance of common stock associated with the convertible stock is
anti-dilutive.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2003
financial statements to conform to the December 31, 2004 financial
statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net
losses.
2. Line of Credit:
During 2004, the Company entered into a line of credit with Southwest
Missouri Bank for the purchase of network infrastructure equipment up
to a maximum of $1,000,000. This note is 80% guaranteed by the US
Department of Agriculture and is secured by the network equipment. This
note is further personally guaranteed by the Company's majority
shareholder. The note is a demand note, but if no demand is made then
monthly payments of accrued interest at an initial rate of 5.5% on the
guaranteed portion and 7.0% on the unguaranteed portion plus monthly
principal payments of $2,358. The note is amortized over 59 months
beginning September 25, 2004 with a final payment on August 25, 2009.

3. Stockholders' Equity:
Pursuant to a contract between Pilot Travel Centers and the Company
which stated, in consideration for Pilot's permitting the Company to
install its broadband wireless network in Pilot's 255 travel centers,
the Company issued, upon completion of the installation and testing in
October 2004, 255,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercisable for
five years, expiring on May 27, 2009 at an exercise price of $4.50 per
share. The transaction resulted in the Company recording $91,800 as a
prepaid consulting service and additional paid-in capital. The prepaid
asset is being amortized over the contract period which expires May 27,
2009.
On October 18, 2004 and December 15, 2004, the Company's Chief
Financial Officer and a Director, exercised 700 and 800 stock options,
respectively, at $1.00 per share. The options were granted pursuant to
the Company's 2002 Equity Incentive Plan.
On November 1, 2004, an employee of the Company exercised 7,500 stock
options at $1.00 per share. The options were granted pursuant to the
Company's 2002 Equity Incentive Plan.
4. Commitments and Contingencies:
Litigation:
On December 17, 2004, certain officers and directors of the Company
were named defendants in a lawsuit entitled Greg Sanders v. Henry
Hoffman et al. Messrs. Hoffman, Dillman, Mendez and Iler are officers
and directors of the Company, Mr. Thompson is a director of the Company
and Mr. Noland is a former officer and director of the Company. The
action alleges fraud, misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty
relating to a settlement agreement entered into between the Company and
Mr. Sanders. The complaint seeks damages in excess of $9,679,903.
Although the Company was not named as a defendant, it will pay all
expenses relating to the defense of this matter. In management's
opinion this case is without merit and the defendants intend on
defending this matter vigorously.
5. Subsequent Events:
SiriCOMM, Inc. consummated the private placement of its units (the
"Units") pursuant to a Confidential Investment Proposal dated October
11, 2004 and amended on December 20, 2004. Funds were disbursed from
escrow to the

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
(UNAUDITED)
5. Subsequent Events (continued):
Company as of January 3, 2005 and shares and warrant certificates were
issued at that time. Each Unit consisted of 50,000 shares (the
"Shares") of the Company's common stock and a Common Stock Warrant to
purchase 37,500 shares of Common Stock. In the private placement, the
Company sold an aggregate of 6.38 Units (319,000 Shares and Warrants to
purchase 239,250 shares of Common Stock) for an aggregate purchase
price of $638,000, or $100,000 per Unit.
The Warrants entitle the holders to purchase shares of the Common Stock
(the "Warrant Shares") for a period of five years from the date of
issuance at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The Warrants contain
certain anti-dilution rights and are redeemable by the Company, on
terms specified in the Warrants.
In connection with the private placement, Laidlaw Co. (UK) Ltd. (f/k/a
Sands Brothers International Limited) the placement agent in the
private placement, received subsequent to this quarter's filing, a cash
commission fee of nine (9%) of the gross proceeds to the Company of the
securities sold at the closing, a payment of $30,000 representing the
fees and expenses of its counsel in the private placement and Warrants
(the "Agent Warrants") to purchase ten percent (10%) of the Shares sold
in the Private Placement (the "Agent Shares"). The Agent Warrants are
exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $2.40
per share and contain the same anti-dilution rights as the Warrants.
Pursuant to the Offering Documents, the Company also agreed to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement
covering the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Agent Shares. If such
Registration Statement is not filed within the required time frame, or
does not become effective within 120 days of the closing date, the
Company has agreed to pay to the investors 1% of the gross proceeds of
the Private Placement for each thirty (30) day period in which the
Company fails to comply with such requirements.
On January 5, 2005 the Company issued an aggregate of 85,000 shares of
its Common Stock upon the exercise of a like number of warrants,
exercisable at $2.00 per share. The warrants were originally issued in
January 2004 pursuant to a private placement of the Company's units
consisting of common stock and warrants.
As an inducement to the investors exercising their warrants, the
Company issued an aggregate of 63,750 new warrants to the investors.
The new warrants entitle the holders to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock reserved for issuance thereunder for a period of
five years from the date

of issuance at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The warrants
contain anti-dilution rights and are redeemable by the Company, in
whole or in part, on terms specified in the warrants.
As a further inducement to the investors exercising their warrants, the
Company also agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
a Registration Statement covering the shares purchased by each investor
as part of the units, the shares issued upon exercise of the warrants
and the shares underlying the new warrants.
On February 7, 2005 the Company entered into a Network Installation
Agreement (the "Agreement") with Sat-Net Communications, Inc.
("Sat-Net"). The term of the Agreement is for sixty (60) months
commencing on February 7, 2005. The Agreement will be automatically
extended on a year-to-year basis upon expiration of the initial term
unless terminated in writing by either party.
During the term of the Agreement, Sat-Net will provide and install VSAT
terminals at up to 400 truck-stop locations at a predetermined turnkey
price.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is issuing to Sat-Net 2,000,000
shares of its Common Stock and 1,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants
(the "Warrants") exercisable for a period of three years at a price of
$2.00 per share. The Warrants are subject to vesting at the rate of
2,500 warrants per truck-stop location installed; provided, however,
that the vesting with respect to the first 250 locations will be deemed
to occur when the wireless infrastructure is "network operational," as
defined in the Agreement.
In addition, the 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock have "piggy-back"
registration rights.

SiriCOMM, Inc. and Subsidiary
Joplin, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SiriCOMM, Inc.
and Subsidiary (the "Company"), a development stage enterprise, as of September
30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
deficit and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and for
the period from inception (April 24, 2000) through September 30, 2003. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 the Company at
September 30, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from inception (April
24, 2000) through September 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company is in the development stage, and has not yet
earned revenues from operations, has working capital and equity deficiencies of
$389,758 and $504,994, respectively, at September 30, 2003 and is in default
with respect to a substantial portion of its loan agreements. These conditions
raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans related to these conditions are also discussed in
Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SiriCOMM, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2004 and 2003
Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
SiriCOMM, Inc.- Missouri, incorporated in the State of Missouri on
April 24, 2000, has developed broadband wireless application service
technologies intended for use in the transportation industries.
As part of the transaction treated as a reverse merger on November 21,
2002, SiriCOMM, Inc. (f/k/a Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), a Delaware
corporation (the "Company" or "SiriCOMM") completed the acquisition of
all the issued and outstanding shares of SiriCOMM, Inc. - Missouri
("SiriCOMM Missouri"). An aggregate 9,622,562 shares of common stock
were issued to SiriCOMM Missouri shareholders. Furthermore, the Company
issued 1,922,000 shares to retire $1,000,000 of convertible notes
issued by SiriCOMM Missouri.
The Company's development activities include integrating multiple
technologies including satellite communications, the Internet, wireless
networking, and productivity enhancing software into commercially
viable products and services. The Company has commenced its initial
product offering of Internet Services Subscriptions, but has not
generated any meaningful revenue as of the filing of these financial
statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, SiriCOMM Missouri. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the 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 liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2004,
cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market accounts with
banking institutions. Approximately $900,000 was held in one
institution in excess of guaranteed amounts.

SiriCOMM, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2004 and 2003
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful life
of each asset. Annual depreciation is primarily computed using
straight-line methods.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects
of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce
deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax
asset will not be realized. The Company files consolidated income tax
returns with its subsidiary.
Research and Development
The Company incurs costs associated with computer software to be
marketed in the future. Costs incurred in connection with establishing
technological feasibility have been expensed as research and
development costs.
Advertising
The Company had advertising expenses of $6,799 and $0 in 2004 and 2003,
respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses
in the financial statements.
Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share represents the net loss available to common
stockholders after giving effect to preferred share dividends divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution which
could occur if convertible preferred stock was converted into common
stock. Diluted net loss per share is considered to be the same as basic
net loss per share since the effect of the issuance of common stock
associated with the convertible stock is anti-dilutive.
Stock Option Plan
At September 30,2004, the Company has a stock-based employee
compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 8. The Company
accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles
of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related Interpretations. Stock-based employee compensation cost is
reflected in net income whereby certain options granted under the plan
had an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying
common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied
the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB
No. 51," ("FIN 46R"). FIN 46R addresses how a business enterprise
should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an
entity through means other than voting rights and, accordingly, should
consolidate the variable interest entity ("VIE"). Fin 46R replaces
FIN46 that was issued in January 2003. All public companies were
required to fully implement FIN 46R no later than the end of the first
reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R
had no impact on SiriCOMM's financial condition or results of
operations.
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment,
which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement
No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. The approach to accounting for
share-based payments in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach
described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123(R) requires all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their
fair values and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative
to financial statement recognition. The Company will be required to
adopt Statement 123(R) at the beginning of its quarter ending March 31,
2006. The Company has not determined what financial statement impact
Statement 123(R) will have on the Company.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial
statements to conform to the 2004 financial statement presentation.
These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings.
Note 2: Liquidity Matters
The Company is in development and has not generated any revenue through
September 30, 2004. It has financed its activities thus far primarily
from the placement of private equity and from short-term loans.
The Company recently completed the first 255 of the 400 sites which
were part of its initial network plan. In December 2004, the Company
commenced selling its In TouchTM Internet Service Provider design,
although to date no meaningful revenues have been realized.
Management has established several alliance partners to market its
products and services, and is in negotiations with certain significant
potential customers for its services. There can be no assurances
offered that these relationships and negotiations will result in
realization of significant revenues. If revenues are not realized as
planned, additional financing through equity issuances and draws on the
Company's line of credit may be required for working capital needs and
to complete the long-term financial objectives of the Company.
Note 3: Line of Credit
During 2004, the Company entered into a line of credit with Southwest
Missouri Bank for the purchase of network infrastructure equipment up
to a maximum of $1,000,000. This note is 80% guaranteed by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and is secured by the network equipment. This
note is further personally guaranteed by the Company's majority
shareholder. The note is a demand note, but if no demand is made then
monthly payments of accrued interest at an initial rate of 5.5% on the
guaranteed portion and 7.0% on the unguaranteed portion plus monthly
principal payments of $2,358. The note is amortized over 59 months
beginning September 25, 2004 with a final payment on August 25, 2009.
Note 4: Long-term Debt
Unsecured note payable to an individual due March 3, 2004
accruing interest at 4%. The note is classified as current in

Note 9: Related Party Transactions
The Company repaid the majority shareholder $9,787 in principal and
interest during 2004 for a note payable issued previously.
Mr. Iler, the Chief Financial Officer, was retained as a consultant to
advise on strategic capital formation prior to his election as a
Director and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Iler was paid $37,500 in
consulting fees and reimbursement of office expenses of $12,500 in 2004
and $46,000 in 2003, for his services.
Note 10: Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of financial
instruments.
The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by
discounting expected cash flows, which method involves significant
judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated
amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or
liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these
financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell
these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair
values shown below represent values at which the respective financial
instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.
Notes Payable and Long-term Debt
Fair value is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently
available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and
maturities.
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company's
financial instruments at September 30, 2004.

Note 11: Commitments
The Company has three executive employee agreements with certain
officers and directors. As a part of these agreements the Company is
obligated to pay these individuals aggregate compensation of $425,000
annually through February 2005. At September 30, 2004, the Company had
paid $646,000 for the installation of the initial network and was
committed to paying approximately $226,000 for completion of the
installation.
Note 12: Subsequent Events
On December 17, 2004, certain officers and directors of the Company
were named defendants in a lawsuit entitled Greg Sanders v. Henry
Hoffman et al. Messrs. Hoffman, Dilman, Mendez and Iler are officers
and directors of the Company, Mr. Thompson is a director of the Company
and Mr. Noland is a former officer and director of the Company. The
action alleges fraud, misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty
relating to a settlement agreement entered into between the Company and
Mr. Sanders. The complaint seeks damages in excess of $9,679,903. The
Company will pay all expenses relating to the defense of this matter.
In management's opinion this case is without merit and the defendants
intend on defending this matter vigorously.
Effective as of December 31, 2004, the Company consummated a private
placement of its Units pursuant to a Confidential Investment Proposal
dated October 11, 2004 and amended on December 20, 2004. Each Unit
consisted of 50,000 shares of the common stock and a Common Stock
Warrant to purchase 37,500 shares of common stock. As part of the
private placement, the Company sold an aggregate of 6.38 Units (319,000
shares and warrants to purchase 239,250 shares of common stock) for an
aggregate purchase price of $638,000, or $100,000 per Unit. The
warrants entitle the holders to purchase shares of the common stock for
a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price
of $2.40 per share. The warrants contain certain anti-dilution rights
and are redeemable by the Company, on terms specified in the warrants.
In connection with the private placement, Laidlaw Co. (UK) Ltd. (f/k/a
Sands Brothers International Limited) the placement agent in the
private placement, received a cash commission fee of 9% of the gross
proceeds to the Company of the securities sold at the closing, a
payment of $30,000 representing the fees and expenses of its counsel in
the private placement and warrants to purchase 10% of the shares sold
in the private placement. The warrants are exercisable for a period of
five years at an exercise price of $2.40 per share and contain the same
anti-dilution rights as the common stock warrants.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2004 and 2003
On January 5, 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of 85,000 shares of
its common stock upon the exercise of a like number of warrants,
exercisable at $2.00 per share. The warrants were originally issued in
January 2004 pursuant to a private placement of the Company's Units
consisting of common stock and warrants.
As an inducement to the investors exercising their warrants, the
Company issued an aggregate of 63,750 new warrants to the investors.

Company's common stock reserved for issuance thereunder for a period of
five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $2.40 per
share. The warrants contain anti-dilution rights and are redeemable by
the Company, in whole or in part, on terms specified in the warrants.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
SiriCOMM, Inc. and Subsidiary
Joplin, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SiriCOMM, Inc.
and Subsidiary (the "Company"), a development stage enterprise, as of September
30, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
deficit and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and for
the period from inception (April 24, 2000) through September 30, 2003. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 the Company at
September 30, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from inception (April
24, 2000) through September 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company is in the development stage, and has not yet
earned revenues from operations, has working capital and equity deficiencies of
$389,758 and $504,994, respectively, at September 30, 2003 and is in default
with respect to a substantial portion of its loan agreements. These conditions
raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans related to these conditions are also discussed in
Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION (APRIL 24, 2000) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
1. Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies:
Nature of operations:
SiriCOMM, Inc. - a Missouri corporation (the "Company"), incorporated
in the State of Missouri on April 24, 2000, is engaged in the
development of broadband wireless application service technologies
intended for use in the marine and transportation industries. The
Company's development activities include integrating multiple
technologies including satellite communications, the Internet, wireless
networking, and productivity enhancing software into commercially
viable products and services. The Company expects to complete
development activities and commence revenue generating activities in
early 2004.
Acquisition:
On November 21, 2002, SiriCOMM, Inc. (f/k/a Fountain Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "SiriCOMM") completed
the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of SiriCOMM,
Inc. - a Missouri corporation ("SiriCOMM Missouri"). An aggregate
9,662,562 post-reverse split shares were issued to SiriCOMM Missouri
shareholders. Furthermore, the Company agreed to issue the equivalent
of 15.5% of the post-merger shares (1,922,000 post reverse split
shares) to retire $1,000,000 of convertible notes issued by SiriCOMM
Missouri. As a result and following completion of the acquisition, the
sole director of the Company resigned and four of SiriCOMM Missouri's
principal shareholders were elected in his place. In connection with
this transaction the Company changed its name to "SiriCOMM, Inc."
Since SiriCOMM Missouri is considered the acquirer for accounting and
financial reporting purposes, the transaction has a been accounted for
in accordance with reverse acquisition accounting principles as though
it were a recapitalization of SiriCOMM Missouri and a sale of shares by
SiriCOMM Missouri in exchange for the net assets of the Company. The
financial statements include the historical results of operations and
cash flows of SiriCOMM Missouri from inception and operations of
SiriCOMM Delaware from November 21, 2002 through September 30, 2003.
All intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Reporting periods:
In connection with the acquisition discussed above, the financial
information has been presented on a September 30 fiscal year end.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION (APRIL 24, 2000) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
1. Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies
(continued):
Financial instruments:
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including
cash, accounts payable, and notes payable, approximate their fair
market values.
Deferred loan costs:
The Company incurs costs to obtain financing. These costs primarily
represent the fair market values of 1) common stock issued to lenders
pursuant to the Company's loan agreements and 2) stock options granted
by the President on the shares he holds of the Company's common stock.
(Notes 4 and 5) Loan costs are amortized over the terms of the notes
payable.
Furniture and equipment:
Furniture and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years.
Stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for compensation costs associated with stock
options issued to employees under the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 whereby compensation is recognized to
the extent the market price of the underlying stock at the grant date
exceeds the exercise price of the option granted. (There have been no
options issued to employees since inception.) Stock-based compensation
to non-employees is accounted for using the fair-value based method
prescribed by Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 - Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation.
Research and development costs:
The Company incurs costs, principally paid to outside consultants,
associated with computer software to be marketed in the future. Costs
incurred in connection with establishing technological feasibility have
been expensed as research and development costs. Costs incurred
subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, including coding
and testing, will be capitalized.
Recent accounting pronouncements:
During April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of SFAS No.
4, 44 and 64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13 and Technical Corrections (SFAS
145). SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses From
Extinguishments of Debt (SFAS No. 4), which required all gains and
losses from extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material,
classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect.
As a result of the rescission of SFAS No. 4, the classification of gain
and losses arising from debt extinguishments requires consideration of
the criteria for extraordinary accounting treatment provided in APB No.
30, Reporting the Results of Operations. In the absence of SFAS No. 4,
debt extinguishments that are not unusual in nature and infrequent in
occurrence would be treated as a component of net income or loss from
continuing operations. SFAS No. 145 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The
adoption of this standard currently has no financial reporting
implications.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION (APRIL 24, 2000) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies
(continued):
Recent accounting pronouncements (continued):
During November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (Interpretation 45).
Under Interpretation 45 guarantees, contracts and indemnification
agreements are required to be initially recorded at fair value. Current
practice provides for the recognition of a liability under such
agreements only when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as
those terms are defined under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
In addition, Interpretation 45 requires significant new disclosures for
all guarantees even if the likelihood of the guarantor having to make
payments under the guarantee is remote. The disclosure requirements are
effective for financial statements of interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions of Interpretation 45 are applicable on a prospective basis
to guarantees, contracts or indemnification agreements issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The Company currently has no
guarantees, contracts or indemnification agreements that would require
accounting recognition under the new standard.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation
of Valuable Interest Entities. This interpretation clarifies rules
relating to consolidation where entities are controlled by means other
than a majority voting interest and instances in which equity investors
do not bear the residual economic risks. This interpretation, as
deferred, is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2003. The Company currently has no ownership in variable
interest entities and, therefore, adoption of this standard currently
has no financial reporting implications.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133
on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The statement amends
and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
and hedging activities. This statement is designed to improve financial
reporting such that contracts with comparable characteristics are
accounted for similarly. The statement, which is generally effective
for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, is not
anticipated to have a significant effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations as the Company does not anticipate
engaging in hedging activities in the near future.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 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. This statement is
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May
31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company currently has
no such financial instruments outstanding or under consideration and
therefore adoption of this standard currently has no financial
reporting implications.

SIRICOMM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION (APRIL 24, 2000) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies
(continued):
Income taxes:
Effective November 21, 2002, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. This
method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net
operating loss carry-forwards, to the extent that realization of such
benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax assets are reviewed
periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided,
as necessary.
Prior to November 21, 2002, the operations of SiriCOMM Missouri were
included in the personal income tax returns of the stockholders under
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The acquisition described in
Note 1 resulted in the revocation of the Company's S corporation
election.
Net loss per share:
Net loss per share represents the net loss available to common
stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the
potential dilution that could occur if convertible debt was converted
into common stock. Diluted net loss per share is considered to be the
same as basic net loss per share since the effect of the issuance of
common stock associated with the convertible debt is anti-dilutive.
Earnings per share for 2002 has been restated to reflect the reverse
aquisition/reverse stock split.
2. Management's plan of operation:
Since its inception, SiriCOMM has financed its activities primarily
from short-term loans, a portion of which are in default (Note 4). To
date, SiriCOMM has not introduced its products and services
commercially, and has limited assets, significant liabilities and
limited business operations. Managements' plan of operations for fiscal
2004 is for the Company to raise additional capital ($6-$10 million)
and build a network to service up to 250,000 simultaneous users. The
construction of the initial network is estimated to cost $4-$6 million
and is expected to be financed by a private sale of securities. The
Company is in discussions with two technology companies to provide "in
kind" products and services in exchange for equity in the Company.
Additionally, the Company has been the recipient of a $1,000,000
Federally Guaranteed Economic Development loan by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture predicated upon the Company's demonstration of raising
$1,000,000 of equity. The Company has raised approximately $1,500,000
through January 9, 2004 and such funds have been deposited into escrow
pending closing of the loan, which is anticipated to occur in late
January. Further, loans aggregating $400,000 have been converted to
equity subsequent to September 30, 2003. The Company believes the loan
will close as anticipated and all escrowed funds will be released.
There can be no assurances that the Company, upon receipt of such
funding, will be able to achieve its short-term financial objectives.
Additionally as the long-term financial objectives require funding in
excess of the $2.5 million contemplated above, the Company will need to
seek additional financing beyond that currently secured. There are no
assurances that the Company will be able to raise the additional
financing necessary to construct the aforementioned network and
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and the amounts and
classifications of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

(b) In connection with certain of these loans the Company also issued
an aggregate of 137,782 shares of stock as incentive to granting
such loans. Furthermore, the principal stockholder, on behalf of
the Company, granted 375,000 options to purchase stock to the
lenders (accounted for as a capital contribution by such
stockholder).
Note: Subsequent to September 30, 2003 an aggregate of $400,000 in
loans has been converted to equity.
5. Stockholders' deficit:
Reverse merger and reorganization::
In November 2002, in connection with the merger discussed in Note 1,
the Company combined the outstanding shares of common stock to a single
class of common stock and affected a one-for-sixty reverse split of the
outstanding shares. In connection therewith, the par value of the stock
was decreased to $0.001. Additionally, the authorized number of shares
of common stock was increased to 50,000,000 shares and preferred stock
authorized increased to 5,000,000 shares.
On November 21, 2002, the Company issued 9,662,562 post-reverse split
common shares in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of
SiriCOMM Missouri.
Conversion of debt to equity:
In January 2003, the Company issued 1,922,000 shares of its common
stock in satisfaction of $1,000,000 of convertible notes issued by
SiriCOMM Missouri.
On April 9, 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of 107,000 shares of
its common stock to an unaffiliated third party in connection with the
conversion of $107,000 of a subordinated convertible debenture and
accrued interest. The shares were issued under the exemption from
registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
At September 30, 2003 a stockholder has agreed to convert $20,000 in
accounts payable to equity. This conversion occurred in October 2003
and such amounts are included in other liabilities in the accompanying
balance sheet.

5. Stockholders' deficit (continued):
Stock issued for services:
In November 2002, the Company issued 716,000 shares of its common stock
registered with the SEC on Form S-8, at the fair market value of the
stock for services based on a consulting agreement. In February 2003,
it was determined by mutual consent of the parties to the consulting
agreement that the agreement would be cancelled and all shares issued
were returned to the Company. The registration statement with regard to
these shares was withdrawn on March 12, 2003.
On April 14, 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of 330,000 shares of
common stock to the partners of Sommer & Schneider LLP (Joel C.
Schneider (15,000) and Herbert H. Sommer (15,000)) in consideration of
legal services performed on behalf of the Company and Robert Smith
(300,000) for services rendered from April 2003 through June 2003 to
the Company. These shares were issued under the Company's 2002
Incentive Stock Option Plan and are fully paid, non-assessable, validly
issued and registered with the SEC pursuant to a Registration Statement
on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on April 14, 2003.
In June 2003, the Company entered into an agreement for equity research
services. The term of the agreement expires July 2004. In consideration
for such services, the Company issued 55,944 shares of stock (valued at
$80,000). These expenses are being recognized as the services are
performed over the term of the agreement.
In July 2003, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for
strategic planning and marketing services. The term of the agreement is
six months. In exchange for such services the Company issued 200,000
shares of stock, which were valued at $151,600 based on the average
trading price for the 5 days preceding the agreement. These expenses
are being recognized over the term of the agreement.
In July 2003, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a
related party. The term of the agreement is twelve months. In
consideration for such consulting services, the Company issued 416,000
shares of common stock, which were valued at $461,760, based on average
trading price for the 5 days preceding the agreement. These expenses
are being recognized over the term of the agreement. Consulting expense
to this related party recognized in 2003 aggregated $76,960.
Stock issued for loan costs:
From January through September 2003, the Company issued an aggregate of
137,782 shares of common stock (valued based on the average trading
price of the stock for the previous 90 days or $272,712) for loan costs
incurred. The Company has also accrued approximately $13,000 for loan
costs related to shares due to be issued. The related expense of
approximately $203,000 is included as loan costs and the remaining
balance of approximately $83,000 is included in deferred loans costs in
the accompanying financial statements.
Common stock warrants:
In May 2003, the Company entered into a consulting agreement whereby
they issued 370,000 common stock warrants with an exercise price of
$1.00 and a fair market value of $458,838.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM INCEPTION (APRIL 24, 2000) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
5. Stockholders' deficit (continued):
Stockholder contributions:
In April 2003, the Company reacquired 195,250 shares of common stock as
a contribution from a stockholder. These shares are recorded as a
stockholder contribution and treasury stock at the fair market value of
the Company's common on the date the shares were received by the
Company. See Notes 4 and 7 for discussion of stockholder grant of
options.
Black-scholes assumptions:
The Company used the Black-Scholes options-pricing model to determine
the fair value of the warrants as well as to determine the values of
options granted to certain lenders by the principal stockholder for
consulting expenses and fair value of the capital contributions,
respectively. The following assumptions were used for grants in 2003:
No dividend yield, expected volatility of 122.18%; risk-free interest
rates of 2% and expected lives of 2 years.
2002 Incentive stock option plan:
The Company has adopted and the shareholders have approved an incentive
stock option plan (the "Plan") covering 3,000,000 post-reverse split
shares of the Company's common stock, pursuant to which eligible
participants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are
eligible to receive stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock performance stock awards and bonus stock until May 15,
2012.
The Plan permits the granting of non-transferable stock options that
are intended to qualify as incentive stock options ("ISO's) under
section 422 of the (Internal Revenue code of 1986) and stock options
that do not so qualify ("Non-Qualified Stock Options"). The option
exercise price for each share covered by an option shall be determined
by the Stock Option Committee but shall not be less than 100% of the
fair market value of a share on the date of grant. The term of each
option will be fixed by the Stock Option Committee, but may not exceed
10 years from the date of the grant in the case of an ISO or 10 years
and two days from the date of the grant in the case of a Non-Qualified
Stock Option. In the case of 10% stockholders, no ISO shall be
exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date the ISO is
granted.
Non-transferable stock appreciations rights ("SAR's") may be granted in
conjunction with options, entitling the holder upon exercise to receive
an amount in any combination of cash or unrestricted common stock of
the Company as determined by the Stock Option Committee, not greater in
value than the increase since the date of grant in the value of the
shares covered by such right. Each SAR will terminate upon the
termination of the related option.
Restricted shares of the common stock may be awarded by the Stock
Option Committee subject to such conditions and restrictions as they
may determine. The Stock Option Committee shall also determine whether
a recipient of restricted shares will pay a purchase price per share or
will receive such restricted shares without any payment in cash or
property. No restricted stock award may provide for restrictions beyond
ten (10) years from the date of grant.

5. Stockholders' deficit (continued):
2002 Incentive stock option plan (continued):
Performance shares of common stock may be awarded without any payment
for such shares by the Stock Option Committee if specified performance
goals established by the Committee are satisfied. The Committee shall
establish the maximum number of shares of stock to be issued to a
designated employee if the performance goals are attained. The
Committee must certify in writing that a performance goal has been
attained prior to issuance of any certificate for a performance stock
awarded to any employee.
The committee may also award shares of common stock as bonus stock to
senior officers, consultants and employees designated by the Committee,
without any payment for such shares and without any specified
performance goals.
The Plan provides (a) in the event of a "Change of Control" (as defined
in the Plan), unless otherwise determined by the Stock Option Committee
prior to such Change of Control, or (b) to the extent expressly
provided by the Stock Option Committee at or after the time of grant,
in the event of a "Potential Change of Control" (as defined in the
Plan), (i) all stock options and related SAR's (to the extent
outstanding for at least six months) will become immediately
exercisable; (ii) the restrictions and deferral limitations applicable
to outstanding restricted stock awards and deferred stock awards will
lapse and the shares in question will be fully vested; and (iii) the
value of such options and awards, to the extent determined by the Stock
Option Committee, will be cashed out on the basis of the highest price
paid (or offered) during the preceding 60-day period, as determined by
the Stock Option Committee. The Change of Control and Potential Change
of Control provisions may serve as a disincentive or impediment to a
prospective acquirer of the Company and, therefore, may adversely
affect the market price of the common stock of the Company.
