AVEROX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
Note A - ORGANIZATION
Averox, Inc., formerly Flickering Star Financial, Inc. ("Averox"), was
incorporated on November 25, 1996 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
On November 13, 2006, Averox Inc., consummated the transactions
contemplated by a certain Share Exchange Agreement dated October 30, 2006,
by and among Averox, certain shareholders of Averox, Averox FZ-LLC
(formerly Pearl Consulting FZ-LLC), Averox (Private) Limited (formerly
Pearl Consulting (Private) Limited) and Salman Mahmood (the "Exchange
Agreement"). Averox FZ-LLC ("Averox Dubai"), a free zone limited liability
company organized under the laws of Dubai, was organized on November 9,
2004. Averox (Private) Limited ("Averox Pakistan"), a private limited
company organized under the laws of Pakistan, was organized on March 19,
2003. Averox North America Inc. ("Averox N.A."), a Nevada corporation, was
incorporated on November 6, 2007. Averox Telecommunication, LLC was
organized under the laws of United Arab Emirates on August 28, 2008. When
used in these notes, the terms "Company," "we," "our," or "us" mean
Averox, its majority owned subsidiary Averox Pakistan, its subsidiary
Averox N.A. and related company Averox Telecommunication.
On August 31, 2006, Averox Pakistan's shareholder transferred 98 ordinary
shares of Averox Pakistan to Averox Dubai. These shares represented ninety
eight percent (98%) of the issued and outstanding shares on that date.
Averox Pakistan became a majority owned subsidiary of Averox Dubai.
On March 31, 2008, Averox Dubai transferred the shares of Averox Pakistan
owned by it to Averox, Inc., Upon such transfer, Averox Pakistan became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Averox, Inc.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Averox issued 65,000,000 shares of its
common stock, or 65% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Averox
after the consummation of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, Averox Dubai
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Averox.
The Company, through its acquisition of Averox Dubai and Averox Pakistan,
is no longer considered a development stage company.
The principle services we provide include the design, deployment,
integration, and the overall management of telecommunications networks for
both large and small companies. Our work for telecommunication companies
involves software development, radio frequency engineering, project
management and the installation of telecommunications equipment. We also
provide network management services, which involve day-to-day optimization
and maintenance of telecommunications networks. To date, most of our
network engineering and deployment services have been for
telecommunications carriers primarily in Pakistan, although we are
actively marketing our services and solutions in Eastern Europe, the
Middle East and the rest of Asia.
Our information technology, or IT, professionals develop and promote
software which delivers industry standard-specific solutions. The
solutions developed by our IT professionals address needs in a wide
spectrum of areas such as e-commerce, enterprise resource planning, IT
strategy and consulting, project management and web-based applications
such as content management systems, and Internet and intranet
applications.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Averox,
Inc., its majority owned subsidiary Averox Pakistan, its subsidiary Averox
N.A. and a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is the
primary beneficiary, Averox Telecommunication. All material intercompany
accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.
F-4
Revenue Recognition
Under SOP 97-2 as amended, SOP 81-1 and SAB 104 the Company recognizes
revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has
occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is
reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product,
system, or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred
until all acceptance criteria have been met. The Company also follows the
provisions of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements," as revised by SAB 104.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things,
intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks
associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing
customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency
exchange rates and the volatility of public markets. Currently, there are
tensions involving Afghanistan, a neighbor of Pakistan. These hostilities
and tensions could lead to political or economic instability in Pakistan
and a possible adverse effect on operations and future financial
performance.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
Translation Adjustment
As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the accounts of Averox Pakistan were
maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in PKR. Such
financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation," with the PKR as the functional currency. According to the
Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current
exchange rate, stockholders' equity (deficit) is translated at the
historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are
reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," as a component of shareholders' equity
(deficit).
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts
receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and
analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit
worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment
patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Allowance for
doubtful debts amounted to $290,348 and $583,593 as of March 31, 2009 and
June 30, 2008, respectively.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and
betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in
operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the
straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:
Equipment 3 -5 years
Furniture & Fixtures 5 -10 years
Motor Vehicles 5 years
F-5
As of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 property, plant and equipment
consisted of the following:
March 31, 2009 June 30, 2008
-------------- --------------
Furnitures and fixtures $ 21,370 $ 35,727
Office equipment 120,333 117,835
Motor Vehicle 85,950 97,954
-------------- --------------
227,653 251,516
Accumulated depreciation (133,208) (120,024)
-------------- --------------
$ 94,445 $ 131,492
============== ==============
|
Depreciation expense was $12,242 and $32,704 for the three month and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2009. Depreciation expense was $24,318 and
$36,122 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128"), "Earnings Per
Share." SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15
("APB 15"). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated
to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net
loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible
shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed
by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and
warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at
the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were
used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the
period.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the
Company's acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries. Under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" ("SFAS 142"), goodwill is no longer amortized, but tested for
impairment upon first adoption and annually, thereafter, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be
impaired. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment periodically in
accordance with SFAS 142.
The Company applies the criteria specified in SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations" to determine whether an intangible asset should be
recognized separately from goodwill. Intangible assets acquired through
business acquisitions are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if
they satisfy either the "contractual-legal" or "separability" criterion.
Per SFAS 142, intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over
their estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets." Intangible assets, such as purchased technology, trademark,
customer list, user base and non-compete agreements, arising from the
acquisitions of subsidiaries and variable interest entities are recognized
and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Intangible assets are
amortized over their estimated useful lives from one to ten years. The
Company reviews the amortization methods and estimated useful lives of
intangible assets at least annually or when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The recoverability of an
intangible asset to be held and used is evaluated by comparing the
carrying amount of the intangible asset to its future net undiscounted
cash flows. If the intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the
impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of
the intangible asset exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset,
calculated using a discounted future cash flow analysis. The Company uses
estimates and judgments in its impairment tests, and if different
estimates or judgments had been utilized, the timing or the amount of the
impairment charges could be different.
F-6
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting
and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company
periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held
and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In
that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on
long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner,
except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based
on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2009 there were
no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
As of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, Intangible Assets consist of the
following:
March 31, 2009 June 30, 2008
-------------- --------------
Software and intellecutal rights $ 1,003,037 $ 3,595
Accumulated amortization (130,108) --

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements", which is an amendment of Accounting
Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51. This statement clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated
income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to
be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both
parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for
the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the
effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is
intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and
hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard
also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative
instruments in an entity's financial statements; how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement
133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is
currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, "The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles". The pronouncement mandates the GAAP
hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit
literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of
Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement
will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. Management is
currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
F-7
In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope
of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and
reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the
effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business
Combinations". This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in
Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement
141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and
for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This
Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the
acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the
goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain
purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of
the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of
the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after
Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not
yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R)
will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be
required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30,
2009.
On December 30, 2008 FASB issued FIN 48-3, "Effective Date of FASB
Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises". This FSP defers
the effective date of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for certain non-public enterprises as defined
in paragraph 289, as amended, of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, including non-public not-for-profit organizations. However,
non-public consolidated entities of public enterprises that apply U. S.
GAAP are not eligible for the deferral. Nonpublic enterprises that have
applied the recognition, measurement, and disclosure provisions of
Interpretation 48 in a full set of annual financial statements issued
prior to the issuance of this FSP also are not eligible for the deferral.
This FSP shall be effective upon issuance. Management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
On January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, "Amendment to the
Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20". This FSP amends the
impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest
Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial
Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized
Financial Assets," to achieve more consistent determination of whether an
other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and
emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment
and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and
other related guidance. The FSP is shall be effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be
applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or
annual reporting period is not permitted. Management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
Note C - CONTINGENCIES
The Company has filed a suit in the Court of Civil Judge, First Class,
Islamabad against ATIS Systems GmbH for declaration, temporary and
permanent prohibitory and mandatory injunction, rendition of accounts, and
recovery of money/damages worth USD $11,300,000, Euros $644,179 and
Pakistan Rupees $300,750,000. According to the legal representation letter
dated September 25, 2007 from Company counsel, the case was fixed for
further proceedings in the matter in Pakistan Courts.
In regards to the progress of the case, according to the legal
representation letter dated September 9, 2008 from Company counsel, the
suit is fixed for hearing for arguments on application U/O 12, R 06 of CPC
in the Civil Court of Islamabad. The Civil Court passed an order against
the application moved by Atis System for stay of proceedings and referral
of the matter for arbitration. The mentioned application was dismissed by
the learned Civil Court by the order dated April 19, 2007; and Atis System
filed a CR-464/2007 in the Lahore High Court (Rawalpindi Bench). The
mentioned CR is pending in the Lahore High Court (Rawalpindi Bench); and
it is difficult to make any fair assessment of the outcome of the case, as
it is still at an early stage.

Note D - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company
has sustained net losses of $2,382,544 since its inception, has negative
working capital and the Company's operations do not generate sufficient
cash to cover its operating costs. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary
capital to continue its operations. These steps included: 1) acquire
profitable operations through issuance of equity instruments; and 2) to
continue actively seeking additional funding and restructure the acquired
subsidiaries to increase profits and minimize the liabilities.

Assets, Provisus acquired Averox's contingent claims for commissions due
from four companies. The aggregate amount of the contingent claims cannot
be determined at this time as no information regarding commissions has

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION.
The following presentation of management's discussion and plan of operation for
Averox Inc. has been prepared by its internal management and should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements of Averox Inc., for the years
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, including the notes thereto and the unaudited
financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, including the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Some of the
statements below discuss "forward-looking" information. Those statements include
statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Averox and
its management team. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and
uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to,
those risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in this
report. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included in this report, the inclusion of such
statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person
that our objectives and plans will be achieved.
In this report, unless the context otherwise requires, references to Averox,
"we", "us" or "our" include Averox Inc., Averox F2-LLC ("Averox Dubai") Averox
(Private) Limited ("Averox Pakistan") and Averox North America Inc. ("Averox
N.A."), and references to our business mean the combined businesses of Averox,
Averox Dubai, Averox Pakistan and Averox N.A.
Averox was incorporated under the name Flickering Star Financial Inc. on
November 25, 1996 under the laws of the State of Nevada. From January 1, 1997
through March 31, 1997, Flickering Star Financial Inc. was in its development
stage. It originally intended to act as a finder of individuals who would serve
as an additional guarantor of motion picture completion guaranty contracts. As
of December 31, 1996, all funds raised by the sale of shares of Flickering Star
Financial in order to fulfill its initial objective had been expended and, after
March 31, 1997, Flickering Star Financial become dormant.
On November 6, 2006, in anticipation of the acquisition of Averox Dubai and
Averox Pakistan, the name Flickering Star Financial Inc. was changed to Averox
Inc.
On November 13, 2006, Averox consummated the transactions contemplated by that
certain Exchange Agreement, dated October 30, 2006, by and among Averox, certain
shareholders of Averox, Averox Dubai and Salman Mahmood ("Mahmood") by acquiring
all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Averox Dubai. Averox Dubai had
previously acquired ninety-eight percent (98%) of the capital stock of Averox
Pakistan from Mahmood and his spouse on August 31, 2006. Effective as of March
31, 2008, Averox ceased its operations in Dubai and Averox Dubai became dormant
in order to reduce operating costs. On March 31, 2008, Averox Dubai transferred
the shares of Averox Pakistan owned by it to Averox Inc. Averox Pakistan is now
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Averox Inc.
Since the cessation of operations of Averox Dubai, we have continued to operate
in Dubai through Averox Telecommunication LLC ("Averox Telecom"). Averox Telecom
is owned 49% by Mahmood and 51% by a local partner in Dubai. The ownership
structure was necessitated by provisions of Dubai law which requires some local
ownership and makes ownership by a foreign entity difficult. Averox Telecom is a
pass through vehicle run for the benefit of Averox. Mahmood retains operating
control of Averox Telecom and has agreed to derive no pecuniary benefit from its
operations. Mahmood and Averox plan to transfer Mahmood's 49% ownership of
Averox Telecom to Averox.
Averox, through its subsidiaries, is an independent provider of software
solutions, engineering and telecommunications network deployment services,
systems integration and related support services. Although Averox's business has
primarily focused on standard solutions and end products for the
telecommunications industry, Averox's software solutions and services are also
being marketed and employed in other industries and areas of Averox's business.
Averox believes that it has established an excellent reputation for applying
specialized and innovative problem-solving skills to a diverse range of clients
and industries.
Historically, the principal services Averox has provided include the design,
deployment, integration, and the overall management of telecommunications
networks for both large and small companies. Averox's work for telecommunication
companies has involved software development, radio frequency engineering,
project management and/or installation of telecommunications equipment. In some
instances, Averox has worked as a subcontractor for portions of these projects.
In other instances, Averox has contracted to act as general contractor for an
entire system engineering project covering all aspects of design and execution.
1
Acting as general contractor to provide turnkey telecom engineering services
produces high revenues, but also requires us to incur significant costs for,
among other things, software material costs, subcontractor fees and labor costs.
We also take on all of the financial risks associated with the completion of the
project. Because of these costs, potential risks and limited capital resources,
we have determined to de-emphasize telecom civil works projects such as base
transmitter, or BTS stations, site development, unless the customer is willing
to advance all costs required for the project.
In furtherance of this determination, we have, in one instance, transferred our
obligations as system engineer to a third party in exchange for the right to
receive commissions from project revenues until August 30, 2009. This agreement
will give us a stream of revenue over this period without any associated costs.
The recent focus of our business has been on proprietary software development
and systems integration. We have also entered the solar and wind powered
generators market, offering a range of wind and solar powered generators that
can be used to produce clean and inexpensive power for domestic and commercial
use.
Our information technology professionals license, develop and promote software
which delivers industry standard-specific solutions. These solutions cover areas
such as telecom billing (retail and interconnect), service activation,
mediation, revenue assurance and fraud management. Our IT solutions are also
being used for customers outside the telecommunications industry. The solutions
developed by our IT professionals or licensed by us for our telecommunications
services business address needs in a wide spectrum of areas such as e-commerce,
enterprise resource planning, IT strategy and consulting and project management,
web-based applications such as content management systems, and Internet and
intranet applications. Additionally, we have built and operate portals that
address needs in the recruitment, real estate and trading industries. From time
to time, we also provide outsourced consulting services.
On August 5, 2008, we acquired Provisus(TM), a product that provides service
activation and provisioning technology to telecom operators, from Provisus Ltd.
Prior to our acquisition of Provisus(TM), we were licensed to sell the product.
Version 1.0 of Provisus(TM) has been developed and we are now in the process of
developing enhancements to Provisus(TM) in a new version that will be at par
with 3G and 4G compatible technologies. We expect to launch version 2.0 of
Provisus(TM) in 2009.
Provisus(TM) is expected to be tested by one of the world's leading mobile
(3G/GSM) operators. If the testing of the product is successful, we believe that
the operator will sublicense the product and that Provisus(TM) will be
attractive to other telecommunications providers. Provisus(TM) has worldwide
application for both fixed and mobile telecommunications. However, even if
Provisus(TM) is successfully tested, it will take at least six to nine months
before Averox derives any significant license fees from this product.
By moving away from providing turnkey telecom engineering projects, Averox is
also focusing on systems integration. Rather than acting as turnkey solution
provider over an entire project, as a systems integrator, Averox will act as a
subcontractor to the turnkey solution provider. Systems integration work does
not involve the same expenses as full telecom engineering. Averox's costs will
consist solely of travel and labor thereby significantly reducing the capital
outlays required for undertaking a project.

Net revenue
Net revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 totaled $216,138
compared to $120,855 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, an
increase of $95,283 or approximately 79%. The increase is primarily due to an
increase in income from information services to one telecommunications client
amounting to $157,728.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 totaled $59,450
or approximately 28% of net revenue compared to $210,986, or 175% of net revenue
for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $151,536, or
approximately 72%. The decrease in the dollar amount was due to a decrease in
direct cost of services of approximately $144,000. During the quarter ended
March 31, 2008 our cost of revenue included costs associated with phase
completion on civil works and technical implementation which has a low profit
margin as compared to our revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 which
was more service and commission oriented with a lower cost of revenue and higher
profit margin. This also accounts for the decrease of our cost of revenue as
compared to revenue from 175% to 28%.
Operating expense
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31,
2009 totaled $218,554, or approximately 101% of net revenue compared to
$239,047, or approximately 198% of net revenue for the three month period ended
March 31, 2008, a decrease of $20,493 or approximately 9%. The decrease in
general and administrative costs during the three month period ended March 31,
2009 was primarily due to reduction in our general & administrative expenses in
our Dubai and Pakistan staff. In addition, we also closed our offices in Dubai
and moved our office in Pakistan to reduce our rent expense. By closing our
office in Dubai, we also managed to reduce some additional administrative and
marketing costs.
Loss from operations
Loss from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 totaled
$111,865, or approximately 52% of net revenue, compared to loss from operations
of $329,178, or approximately 272% of net revenue for the three month period
ended March 31, 2008, a decrease in loss from operations of $217,313 or
approximately 66%. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the
reasons stated above.
3
Other expenses (income)
Other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 totaled ($30,693)
compared to other expenses of $487 for the three month period ended March 31,
2008, an increase in other income of $31,180, or approximately 6,402%. The
increase in other income has to do primarily with the increase in interest
income from $344 to $43,736.
Net Income (loss)
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 totaled $42,034
compared to a net loss of ($327,855) for the three month period ended March 31,
2008, an increase in net income of $369,889 or approximately 123%. The increase
in net income was primarily due to reasons described above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
The following table presents the statement of operations for the nine
months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the comparable period of the nine
months ended March 31, 2008. The discussion following the table is based on
these results.

Net sales
Net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $636,396
compared to $460,662 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of
$175,734 or approximately 38%. The increase in revenue was due to increase in
income from information technology services to a client in the
telecommunications sector which was not part of our clientele portfolio in the
corresponding period of nine months ended March 31, 2008.
4
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $273,777, or
approximately 43% of net revenue compared to $685,601, or approximately 149% of
net revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $411,824, or
approximately 60%. The decrease in percentage cost of sales for the nine months
ended March 31, 2009 was attributed mainly to a decrease in the direct cost of
telecom equipment and services. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008 our
cost of revenue included costs associated with phase completion on civil works,
tower erections and technical implementation which has a low profit margin as
compared to our revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 which was
more service and commission oriented with a lower cost of revenue and higher
profit margin. This impacted in significant decrease on our cost of sales.
Operating Expense
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009
totaled $525,528, or approximately 83% of net revenue compared to $1,370,566, or
approximately 298% of net revenue, for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a
decrease of $845,083 or approximately 62%. The decrease in general and
administrative costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was primarily
due to reduction in our general & administrative expenses in our Dubai and
Pakistan staff. In addition, we also closed our offices in Dubai and moved our
office in Pakistan to reduce our rent expense. By closing our office in Dubai,
we also managed to reduce some additional administrative and marketing costs.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $293,016,
or approximately 46% of net revenue, compared to a loss from operations of
$1,595,505, or approximately 346% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a
decrease of $1,302,489 or approximately 82%. The decrease was primarily due to
decrease in our office and administrative headcount by closing our office in
Dubai and reducing our workforce by a significant margin as compared to nine
months ended March 31, 2008. In addition, our bad debts were also reduced
significantly by focusing and emphasizing on timely collection of past due
receivables.
Other income
Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $265,479 compared
to other income of $354 for the nine months March 31, 2008, an increase in other
income of $265,125, or approximately 74,894%. The increase in other income has
to do primarily with the collection of bad debt for approximately $220,000 but
also due to the increase in interest income from $4,017 to $43,745.
Net Loss
Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $42,067 compared to
net loss of $1,488,340 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of
$1,446,273, or approximately 97%. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to
reasons described above.

accounts receivable. Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended March
31, 2009 was $9,656 as compared to net cash used in operations of $1,444,097

ended March 31, 2009, compared to $774,573 for the same period ended March 31,
2008. The net cash change was $300,856 and ($672,350) for the nine months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
We will continue to evaluate alternative sources of capital to meet our growth
requirements, including other asset or debt financing, issuing equity securities
and entering into other financing arrangements. There can be no assurance,
however, that any of the contemplated financing arrangements described herein
will be available and, if available, can be obtained on terms favorable to us.
5
We do not currently have significant cash reserves. Our ability to fund our
operations is dependent at the present time on collections of our accounts
receivable. We have experienced difficulties in the recent past with collecting
on our receivables. The failure of our customers to timely pay accounts
receivable could force us to curtail our operations. Accordingly, our auditors
have qualified their report on our financials statements for the year ended June
30, 2008 by expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.
Working Capital Requirements
Historically operations and short term financing have been sufficient to meet
our cash needs. We believe that we will be able to generate revenues from sales
and raise capital through private placement offerings of its equity securities
to provide the necessary cash flow to meet anticipated working capital
requirements. However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short
term will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results,
competition, and the availability of credit facilities, none of which can be
predicted with certainty. Future expansion will be limited by the availability
of financing products and raising capital.

Risk Factors
Owning our shares contains a number of risks. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would
likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares could decline, and
an investor may lose all or a part of the money paid to buy our shares.
Risks Associated with our Financial Needs
Our lack of cash reserves and liquid assets could result in an interruption of
our business and has led our auditors to express doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern
We do not currently have significant cash reserves. Our ability to fund our
operations is dependent at the present time on collections of our accounts
receivable. We have experienced difficulties in the recent past with collecting
on our receivables. The failure of our customers to timely pay accounts
receivable could force us to curtail our operations. Accordingly, our auditors
have qualified their report on our financials statements for the year ended June
30, 2008 by expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.
Our lack of readily available working capital has impacted our ability to
execute our business plan
Large, revenue generating engineering projects have been a core part of our
business and require significant upfront investment. We have been successful in
securing large engineering projects from multi-national companies such as Nokia,
Siemens, Ericsson, Huawei, Warid Telecom and China Mobile. However, our working
capital has not been sufficient to fulfill the requirements of these large
projects. As a result, we have had to curtail these activities. Although we have
been able to secure systems integration work from some of these customers, our
inability to provide the full range of services contemplated by these
engineering projects has had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on
our revenues and profitability.
Political instability in Pakistan has had a material adverse effect on demand
for our services and products
There is significant instability in Pakistan. Certain recent events have damaged
the image of Pakistan internationally. As a result, Pakistan's credit rating has
been down graded by international ratings agencies. This has also lead to
shortage of capital in Pakistan. Each of these factors has had a direct impact
on new telecommunications infrastructure products being undertaken.
The fact that a substantial portion of our business is centered in Pakistan has
negatively impacted on our financing efforts
The negative perception of Pakistan in the western world, particularly in the
United States and western Europe, has made it more difficult for us to secure
new financing. This negative perception may impair our ability to obtain funding
for our business.
The settlement of the purchase price for our acquisition of Provisus(TM)
software could result in significant additional dilution of our equity
On August 5, 2008, we acquired Provisus(TM) software and certain related
intellectual property. We have the option to pay $1,000,000 of the purchase
price in cash or in shares of our stock valued at $5,000,000. In the event that
we do not have sufficient cash to pay the purchase price, we will be forced to
pay the balance in shares of our stock. The number of shares we may be required
to issue will not be known until August 5, 2009.
At the current market price of $0.03 per share, we would issue approximately
166,666,667 shares, or 62.4% of our stock on a fully diluted basis. If our stock
price were below $0.03 per share, the dilution of our stock would be more
significant.

Specific Risks Associated with our Network Services Business
The success of our network services business is dependent on growth in the
deployment of telecommunications networks and new technology upgrades in the
Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia and, to the extent that such growth slows,
our business may be harmed
Telecommunications carriers are constantly re-evaluating their network
deployment plans in response to trends in the telecommunications markets,
changing perceptions regarding industry growth, the adoption of new
technologies, increasing pricing competition for customers and general economic
conditions. If the rate of network deployment slows and carriers reduce their
capital investments in telecommunications infrastructure or fail to expand into
new geographic areas, our business may be significantly harmed.
The uncertainty associated with rapidly changing telecommunications technologies
may also negatively impact the rate of deployment of telecommunications networks
and the demand for our services. Telecommunications service providers face
significant challenges in assessing consumer demand and in accepting rapidly
changing enhanced telecommunications capabilities. If telecommunications service
providers perceive that the rate of acceptance of next generation
telecommunications products will grow more slowly than previously expected, they
may, as a result, slow their development of next generation technologies.
Moreover, increasing price competition for subscribers could adversely affect
the profitability of carriers and limit their resources for network deployment.
Any significant sustained slowdown will further reduce the demand for our
services and adversely affect our financial results.
Our network services business depends on telecommunications carriers, network
equipment vendors and other prospective customers outsourcing their
telecommunications services
The success of our network engineering business depends upon the continued trend
by telecommunications carriers and network equipment vendors to outsource their
network design, deployment and management needs. If this trend does not continue
and telecommunications carriers and network equipment vendors elect to perform
more network deployment services themselves, our operating results and revenues
may decline.
Failure to properly manage network services projects may result in costs or
claims
Our engagements often involve large scale, highly complex projects. The quality
of our performance on such projects depends in large part upon our ability to
manage the relationship with our customers, and to effectively manage the
project and deploy appropriate resources, including third-party contractors, and
our own personnel, in a timely manner. Any defects or errors or failure to meet
clients' expectations could result in claims for substantial damages against us.
In addition, in certain instances, we guarantee customers that we will complete
a project by a scheduled date or that the network will achieve certain
performance standards and our contracts contain liquidated damages provisions if
we fail to do so. Further, if the project experiences a performance problem, we
may not be able to recover the additional costs we incur, which could exceed the
revenues realized from that project. Finally, if we underestimate the resources
or time we need to complete a project with capped or fixed fees, our operating
results could be seriously harmed.
Changes in the price of Raw Materials, such as Steel, can have a large impact on
our profitability
Our results of operations are impacted by the cost of raw materials. Price
increases in raw material may not be able to be passed along to customers or
customers may chose not to move forward with projects due to cost concerns.
Steel is a principal raw material used in our network services business.
Pakistan, for example, has recently experienced a steel shortage, which is
largely imported, and the price has also risen significantly. The combination of
steel shortages and price increases has caused delays in some projects and may
have impacted our customers determination to pursue projects. This resulted in
decreased revenues in the most recent fiscal period.
We are in highly competitive markets, face competition from large,
well-established competitors with significant resources, and may not be able to
compete effectively
The telecommunications services market is highly competitive. It is not
dominated by a single company or a small number of companies. However, a
substantial number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive
with those offered by us. Many of these competitors have greater financial,
technical and marketing resources. This may place us at a disadvantage in
responding to our competitors' pricing strategies, technological advances,
strategic partnerships and other initiatives. Competition in the
telecommunications network services business comes primarily from specialized
network engineering firms and the service arms of large equipment vendors and
telecommunications carriers. In addition, many of our competitors have
well-established relationships with our potential clients and have extensive
knowledge of our industry. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond
more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements, and they may be able to devote more resources to the development,
promotion and sale of their services than we can.
8
Our business will suffer if we fail to anticipate and develop new services and
enhance existing services in order to keep pace with rapid changes in technology
and the industry on which we focus
The market for our services is characterized by rapid change and technological
improvements, evolving industry standards, changing client preferences and new
product and service introductions. Failure to anticipate these advances or
respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments
will result in serious harm to our business and operating results. We have
derived, and we expect to continue to derive, a substantial portion of our
revenues from serving telecommunications providers with systems that utilize
today's leading technologies and that are capable of adapting to future
technologies. Further, products, services or technologies that are developed by
our competitors may render our services non-competitive or obsolete. As a
result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market
service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances
of our customers, evolving industry standards and changing client preferences.
Risks related to our IT business
Because we have decided to focus on developing proprietary software products and
sublicensing the Provisus(TM) product rather than licensing products from
established developers, we cannot be assured that these products will receive
market acceptance
In the past, we relied on established software products that we licensed from
third parties. We paid significant licensing fees to the developers of these
products for their use. In order to reduce these costs and maximize revenues and
profits, we decided to develop our own products in addition to the Provisus(TM)
product which we acquired from Provisus. However, the process of developing
products is time consuming and costly. Moreover, even if these products can be
successfully developed, there can be no assurance that these products will gain
market acceptance.
Our products are complex and have a lengthy implementation process;
unanticipated difficulties or delays in the customer acceptance process could
result in higher costs and delayed payments
Implementing our IT solutions can be a relatively complex and lengthy process
since we typically customize these solutions for each customer's unique
environment. Often our customers may also require rapid deployment of our
software solutions, resulting in pressure on us to meet demanding delivery and
implementation schedules. Delays in implementation may result in customer
dissatisfaction and/or damage our reputation which could materially harm our
business.
The majority of our existing contracts provide for acceptance testing by the
customer, which can be a lengthy process. Unanticipated difficulties or delays
in the customer acceptance process could result in higher costs, delayed
payments, and deferral of revenue recognition. In addition, if our software
contains defects or we otherwise fail to satisfy acceptance criteria within
prescribed times, the customer may be entitled to cancel its contract and
receive a refund of all or a portion of amounts paid or other amounts as
damages, which could exceed related contract revenue and which could result in a
future charge to earnings. Any failure or delay in achieving final acceptance of
our software and services could harm our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
The IT industry in which we compete is subject to rapid technological change, if
we fail to develop or introduce new, reliable and competitive products in a
timely fashion, our business may suffer
The market for our IT products and services is subject to rapid technological
changes, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and
preferences and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The
introduction of products that incorporate new technologies and the emergence of
new industry standards can make existing products obsolete and unmarketable. In
addition, "internationalizing" products that we have developed for customers
abroad is a complex process. To compete successfully, we must continue to
design, develop and sell enhancements to existing products and new products that
provide higher levels of performance and reliability in a timely manner, take
advantage of technological advancements and changes in industry standards and
respond to new customer requirements. As a result of the complexities inherent
in software development, major new product enhancements and new products can
require long development and testing periods before they are commercially
released and delays in planned delivery dates may occur. We may not be able to
successfully identify new product opportunities or achieve market acceptance of
new products brought to market. In addition, products developed by others may
cause our products to become obsolete or noncompetitive. If we fail to
anticipate or respond adequately to changes in technology and customer
preferences, or if our products do not perform satisfactorily, or if we have
delays in product development, we may lose customers and our sales may
deteriorate.
9
The IT industry is highly competitive and if our products do not satisfy
customer demand for performance or price, our customers could purchase products
and services from our competitors
The IT markets in which we operate are intensely competitive and we face
continuous demand for improved product performance, new product features and
reduced prices, as well as intense pressure to accelerate the release of new
products and product enhancements. The market for software solutions is
extremely large. Our existing and potential competitors include many domestic
and international companies, including some competitors that have substantially
greater financial, manufacturing, technological, marketing, distribution and
other resources, larger installed customer bases and longer-standing
relationships with customers than we do.
Customers also may offer competitive products or services in the future since
customers who have purchased solutions from us are not precluded from competing
with us. Many telecommunications companies have large internal development
organizations, which develop software solutions and provide services similar to
the products and services we provide. We also expect competition may increase in
the future from application service providers, existing competitors and from
other companies that may enter our existing or future markets with solutions
which may be less costly, provide higher performance or additional features or
be introduced earlier than our solutions.
We believe that our ability to compete successfully depends on numerous factors.
For example, the following factors affect our ability to compete successfully:
o how well we respond to our customers' needs;
o the quality and reliability of our products and services and our
competitors' products and services;
o the price for our products and services, as well as the price for our
competitors' products and services;
o how well we manage our projects;
o our technical expertise;
o the quality of our customer service and support;
o the emergence of new industry standards;
o the development of technical innovations;
o our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
o regulatory changes; and
o general market and economic conditions.
Some of these factors are within our control, and others are not. A variety of
potential actions by our competitors, including a reduction of product prices or
increased promotion, announcement or accelerated introduction of new or enhanced
products, or cooperative relationships among competitors and their strategic
partners, could negatively impact the sales of our products and we may have to
reduce the prices we charge for our products. Revenue and operating margins may
consequently decline. We may not be able to compete successfully with existing
or new competitors or to properly identify and address the demands of new
markets. This is particularly true in new markets where standards are not yet
established. Our failure to adapt to emerging market demands, respond to
regulatory and technological changes or compete successfully with existing and
new competitors would materially harm our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
Our products are complex and may have errors that are not detected until
deployment, and litigation related to warranty and product liability claims
could be expensive and could negatively affect our reputation and profitability
Our agreements with our customers typically contain provisions designed to limit
our exposure to potential liability for damages arising out of the use of or
defects in our products. These limitations, however, tend to vary from customer
to customer and it is possible that these limitations of liability provisions
may not be effective. We currently do not maintain errors and omissions
insurance, which, subject to customary exclusions, would cover claims resulting
from the failure of our software products or services to perform the function or
to serve the purpose intended. As a result, we would be required to pay the full
amount of any claim. Further, defending such a suit, regardless of its merits,
could be expensive and require the time and attention of key management
personnel, either of which could materially harm our business, financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, our business reputation could
be harmed by product liability claims, regardless of their merit or the eventual
outcome of these claims.
10
General Risks Associated with our Business
We are controlled by Salman Mahmood and this control could be detrimental to our
shareholders
Mr. Mahmood beneficially owns 65% of our common stock. Accordingly, Mr. Mahmood
has the ability to control us and our affairs, including the outcome of all
matters requiring shareholder approval such as the election and removal of our
entire board of directors, and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of our assets. This concentrated control gives Mr. Mahmood the
right to decide whether we should proceed with any action, even if those actions
might be beneficial to all shareholders and could discourage others from
initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change of control
transaction. As a result, the market price of our shares could be adversely
affected.
Our failure to attract and retain key managerial and technical personnel could
adversely affect our business
Our success depends upon our attracting and retaining key members of our
management team. The loss of any of our key members might delay or prevent the
achievement of our strategic objectives. Our future performance will be
substantially dependent on our ability to attract, retain and motivate key
members of our management team.
We must also continue to hire and retain highly skilled engineering and
managerial personnel. In an effort to manage our costs, we typically hire many
of our employees on a project-by-project basis. Upon completion of an assigned
project, the employees are no longer employed by us until we hire them for the
next project. Competition for such highly skilled personnel in our industry is
intense, especially for engineers and project managers. We cannot be certain
that we will be able to hire or rehire the requisite number of experienced and
skilled personnel when necessary in order to service a major contract,
particularly if the market for related personnel becomes more competitive. Also,
once a new technical and sales employee has been hired, a significant time lag
exists between the hiring date and the time when they become fully productive.
We also believe that our success depends to a significant extent on the ability
of our key personnel to operate effectively, both individually and as a group.
If we are unable to identify, hire and integrate new employees in a timely and
cost-efficient manner, our operating results will suffer.
We may need additional capital in the future to fund the growth of our business,
and this new capital may not be available
We currently anticipate that our available capital resources and operating
income will be sufficient to meet our expected working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot
assure you that such resources will be sufficient to fund the long-term growth
of our business. We may raise additional funds through public or private debt or
equity financings. New equity offerings would likely dilute our stockholders'
equity ownership. In addition, we cannot assure you that any additional
financing we may need will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If
adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we
may not be able to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop new
products or otherwise respond to competitive pressures, or we might be forced to
curtail our business. In any such case, our business, operating results or
financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
Potential future business acquisitions could be difficult to integrate, disrupt
our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating
results
We regularly evaluate opportunities to acquire new businesses as part of our
ongoing strategy. If we successfully complete an acquisition, we will have to
integrate it into our operations. Integration may require significant management
time and financial resources. Our failure to properly integrate the businesses
we acquire and to manage future acquisitions successfully could seriously harm
our operating results. In addition, acquired companies may not perform as well
as we expect, and we may fail to realize anticipated benefits. In connection
with an acquisition, we may issue shares of stock that would dilute our current
stockholders' ownership and incur debt and other costs in connection with future
acquisitions which may cause our quarterly operating results to vary
significantly.
11
Litigation may harm our business or otherwise distract our management
Substantial, complex or extended litigation could cause us to incur large
expenditures and distract our management. Disputes from time to time with
customers or other third parties are not uncommon, and we cannot assure you that
that we will always be able to resolve such disputes on terms favorable to us.
Disclosure of trade secrets could aid our competitors
We do not currently attempt to protect our trade secrets by registering for
trademark, trade name, copyright or patent protection in any jurisdiction.
Rather, we attempt to protect our trade secrets by entering into confidentiality
and intellectual property assignment agreements with third parties, our
employees and consultants. However, these agreements can be breached and, if
they are, there may not be an adequate remedy available to us. In addition,
others may independently discover our trade secrets and information, and in such
cases we might not be able to assert any trade secret rights against such party.
The misappropriation or duplication of our intellectual property could disrupt
our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, reduce our revenues
and increase our expenses. We may need to litigate to enforce our intellectual
property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the rights of others.
Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets
is difficult, expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. If
our trade secrets become known it may affect adversely our competitive position.
The laws of Pakistan do not protect intellectual property rights to the same
extent as those of the United States, and we may be unsuccessful in protecting
our intellectual property rights. We may also be subject to third party claims
of intellectual property infringement
The laws of Pakistan, where most of our operations are conducted, do not protect
proprietary rights to the same extent as laws in the United States. Therefore,
our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate. Our
competitors may independently develop similar technology or duplicate our
products or services. Unauthorized parties may infringe upon or misappropriate
our products, services or proprietary information.
In the event that we are infringing upon the proprietary rights of others or
violating licenses, we may become subject to infringement claims that may
prevent us from selling certain products and we may incur significant expenses
in resolving these claims
It is possible that our business activities may infringe upon the proprietary
rights of others, or that other parties may assert infringement claims against
us. If we become liable to any third party for infringing its intellectual
property rights, we could be required to pay substantial damage awards and
develop non-infringing technology, obtain licenses, or cease selling the
applications that contain the infringing intellectual property. Litigation is
subject to inherent uncertainties, and any outcome unfavorable to us could
materially harm our business. Furthermore, we could incur substantial costs in
defending against any intellectual property litigation, and these costs could
increase significantly if any dispute were to go to trial. Our defense of any
litigation, regardless of the merits of the complaint, likely would be
time-consuming, costly, and a distraction to our management personnel. Adverse
publicity related to any intellectual property litigation also could harm the
sale of our products and services, and damage our competitive position.
We have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on
our common stock in the foreseeable future
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to
retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operation of our business.
Accordingly, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in
the foreseeable future.
The economic environment and pricing pressure could negatively impact our
revenues and operating results
Spending on technology products and services in most parts of the world has been
rising for the past few years. If economic growth slows, our utilization and
billing rates for our technology professionals could be adversely affected,
which may result in lower gross and operating profits. Our ability to maintain
or increase pricing is restricted as clients often expect that as we do more
business with them, they will receive volume discounts or special pricing
incentives. Existing and new customers are also increasingly using third-party
consultants with broad market knowledge to assist them in negotiating
contractual terms. Any of these factors could put pressure on our revenues and
profitability.
12
We may face difficulties in providing end-to-end business solutions for our
clients, which could lead to clients discontinuing their work with us, which in
turn could harm our business
Over the past several years, we have been expanding the nature and scope of our
engagements by extending the breadth of services we offer. The success of some
of our newer service offerings, such as operations and business process
consulting, IT consulting, business process management, systems integration and
infrastructure management, depends, in part, upon continued demand for such
services by our existing and new clients and our ability to meet this demand in
a cost-competitive and effective manner. In addition, our ability to effectively
offer a wider breadth of end-to-end business solutions depends on our ability to
attract existing or new clients to these service offerings. To obtain
engagements for our end-to-end solutions, we also are more likely to compete
with large, well-established international consulting firms as well as other
Pakistan-based technology services companies, resulting in increased competition
and marketing costs. Accordingly, our new service offerings may not effectively
meet client needs and we may be unable to attract existing and new clients to
these service offerings.
The increased breadth of our service offerings may result in larger and more
complex client projects. This will require us to establish closer relationships
with our clients and potentially with other technology service providers and
vendors, and require a more thorough understanding of our clients' operations.
Our ability to establish these relationships will depend on a number of factors
including the proficiency of our technology professionals and our management
personnel.
Larger projects often involve multiple components, engagements or stages, and a
client may choose not to retain us for additional stages or may cancel or delay
additional planned engagements. These terminations, cancellations or delays may
result from the business or financial condition of our clients or the economy
generally, as opposed to factors related to the quality of our services.
Cancellations or delays make it difficult to plan for project resource
requirements, and resource planning inaccuracies may have a negative impact on
our profitability.
Our revenues are highly dependent on clients primarily located in Pakistan as
well as clients concentrated in the telecommunications industry, and economic
slowdowns or factors that affect the economic health of Pakistan and the
telecommunications industry may affect our business
If Pakistan's economy weakens, our clients may reduce or postpone their
technology spending significantly, which may, in turn, lower the demand for our
services and negatively affect our revenues and profitability. Further, any
significant decrease in the growth of the telecommunications services industry
or significant consolidation in the telecommunications industry or decrease in
growth or consolidation in other industry segments on which we focus, may reduce
the demand for our services and negatively affect our revenues and
profitability.
Some of our engagements with customers are singular in nature and do not
necessarily provide for subsequent engagements
Some of our customers retain us on a short-term, engagement-by-engagement basis
in connection with specific projects, rather than on a recurring basis under
long-term contracts. Although a substantial majority of our revenues are
generated from repeat business, which we define as revenue from a client who
also contributed to our revenue during the prior fiscal year, our engagements
with our clients are typically for projects that are singular in nature.
Therefore, our revenues may fluctuate significantly from year to year. As a
result, we must seek out new engagements when our current engagements are
successfully completed or are terminated, and we are constantly seeking to
expand our business with existing clients and secure new clients for our
services. In addition, in order to continue expanding our business, we may need
to significantly expand our sales and marketing group, which would increase our
expenses and may not necessarily result in a substantial increase in business.
If we are unable to generate a substantial number of new engagements for
projects on a continual basis, our business and results of operations would
likely be adversely affected.
Our client contracts are often conditioned upon our performance, which, if
unsatisfactory, could result in less revenue than previously anticipated
A number of our contracts have incentive-based or other pricing terms that
condition some or all of our fees on our ability to meet defined performance
goals or service levels. Our failure to meet these goals or a client's
expectations in such performance-based contracts may result in a less profitable
or an unprofitable engagement.
13
Regional conflicts in South Asia could adversely affect the Pakistan economy,
disrupt our operations and cause our business to suffer
South Asia has, from time to time, experienced instances of civil unrest and
hostilities among neighboring countries, including between Pakistan and India.
In recent years there have been military confrontations between Pakistan and
India that have occurred in the region of Kashmir and along the Pakistan-India
border. Military activity or terrorist attacks in the future could influence the
Pakistan economy by disrupting communications and making travel more difficult
and such political tensions could create a greater perception that investments
in Pakistan companies involve higher degrees of risk. This, in turn, could have
a material adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Changes in the policies of the Government of Pakistan or political instability
could delay the further liberalization of the Pakistan economy and adversely
affect economic conditions in Pakistan generally, which could impact our
business and prospects
Since 1988, successive Pakistan governments have pursued policies of economic
liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private
sector. Nevertheless, the role of the Pakistan central and state governments in
the Pakistan economy as producers, consumers and regulators has remained
significant. The Government of Pakistan announced policies and initiatives that
support the continued economic liberalization policies pursued by previous
governments. However, these liberalization policies may not continue in the
future. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and
policies affecting technology companies, foreign investment, currency exchange
and other matters affecting investment in our securities could change as well. A
significant change in Pakistan's economic liberalization and deregulation
policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in Pakistan
generally, and our business in particular.
International uncertainties could harm our profitability
We currently have operations outside of Pakistan and we expect these operations
to grow in other parts of Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. For the year
ended June 30, 2008 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, international
operations outside of Pakistan, accounted for approximately 24% and 79% of our
total revenues, respectively. Our international business operations are subject
to a number of material risks, including, but not limited to:
o difficulties in building and managing foreign operations including,
without limitation, management and contracts administration processes;
o regulatory uncertainties in foreign countries, including changing
regulations and delays in telecommunications carriers to build out their
networks in various locations;
o difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through
foreign legal systems and addressing other legal issues;
o unexpected restrictions on transferring cash from foreign operations to
the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan or the United States;
o longer payment cycles;
o foreign and U.S. tax issues;
o potential instability or changes in regulatory requirements or the
potential overthrowing of the current government in certain foreign
countries;
o fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies;
o general economic and political conditions in the markets in which we
operate;
o unexpected domestic and international regulatory, economic or political
changes;
o recessions in foreign countries; and
o difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations.
Currency fluctuations may affect the value of our shares
Our functional currency is the Pakistani rupee, although we transact a major
portion of our business in U.S. dollars or Euros. Accordingly, we face foreign
currency exposure through our sales and purchases. Historically, we have held a
substantial majority of our cash funds in rupees. Downward fluctuations in the
value of the Pakistani Rupee, compared to other foreign currencies, may increase
the cost of supplies for our business. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates
may have a material adverse affect on our revenues, other income, cost of
services sold, gross margin and net income, which may in turn have a negative
impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. The exchange
rate between the rupee and foreign currencies, including the dollar and the
14
Euro, has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially
in the future. We expect that a majority of our revenues will continue to be
generated in foreign currencies, including the dollar and the Euro, for the
foreseeable future and that a significant portion of our expenses, including
personnel costs, as well as capital and operating expenditures, will continue to
be denominated in Pakistani rupees. Consequently, the results of our operations
are adversely affected if the rupee appreciates or depreciates against the
dollar, the Euro or other applicable foreign currencies.
Risks of owning our shares
There has been a limited market for our common stock and, therefore, it may be
difficult for our shares to be sold at attractive prices, if at all
Our shares have only recently begun to trade on a limited basis and there is no
coverage of our company by analysts or market makers. This may or may not affect
the future performance of our shares. There can be no assurance that an active
trading market for our shares will develop or that, if developed, will be
sustained. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme
volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any
company. These broad market and industry fluctuations may result in the decline
of the price of our shares, regardless of our operating performance.
The market price of our shares is expected to be volatile
If a market for our shares does develop, securities of OTC Bulletin Board
companies, and of technology companies in particular, are often volatile. Other
broad market and industry factors may decrease the trading price of our shares,
regardless of our operating performance. Market fluctuations, as well as general
political and economic conditions such as a recession or interest rate or
currency rate fluctuations, also may decrease the trading price of our shares.
In addition, our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response
to many other factors, including:
o fluctuations in our financial results;
o our actions, and the actions of our customers and competitors, including
announcements of new products, product enhancements, technological
innovations or new services;
o other factors affecting the telecommunications and information technology
industries in general;
o the operating and stock price performance of other companies that
investors may deem comparable;
o news reports relating to trends in our markets;
o volume of trading of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board or other
exchanges on which our shares may, in the future, be traded;
o conditions or trends in the telecommunications and information technology
industries;
o changes in the market valuations of other technology companies;
o announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships,
joint ventures or capital commitments;
o additions or departures of key personnel;
o the timing and size of network deployments and technology upgrades by our
carrier customers;
o fluctuations in demand for outsourced network services;
o the timing of expansion into new markets, both domestically and
internationally;
o the length of sales cycles; and
o our success in bidding on and winning new business.
Future sales of our shares in the public market could negatively affect our
stock price
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, the market
price of our common stock could fall. As of May 12, 2009, we had 100,000,000
shares of common stock outstanding. Although 68,800,000 of our shares constitute
restricted securities under the Securities Act, the shares may be sold into the
marketplace under Rule 144. The possible sale of a significant number of these
shares may cause the market price of our shares to fall.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide information under this
item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Not applicable.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Averox's management, with the participation of Averox's Chief Executive Officer
and acting Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Averox's
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the
end of the period covered by this report. As previously reported in our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2008, control deficiencies
were identified that constitute a material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting. Such control deficiencies relate to insufficient personnel,
inadequate segregation of duties, and lack of familiarity with the requirements
imposed by the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2008 were ineffective.
Management has implemented changes in the processing of transactions to
remediate the inadequate personnel related weakness previously identified.
Additionally, management identified steps at both management and the board of
directors' level to increase the effectiveness of review as it relates to the
financial reporting process. Such changes have been partially implemented during
the first three fiscal quarters of the Company's 2008-2009 fiscal year. While
management believes that the changes implemented have strengthened the overall
control over financial reporting, such changes were not sufficient to conclude
that the Company's disclosure and control procedures, as of March 31, 2009, were
effective. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31,
2009, were ineffective. Other changes will be considered as additional financial
resources become available.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management, including our Certifying Officers, confirm that there were no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter
ending March 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
