PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company” or “CTS” in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB include Cellular Technical Services Company, Inc. and any entity over which it has or shares operational control.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

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

General

CTS has no current business, and has had none since 2003. Management currently has no plan to liquidate the Company and distribute the remaining assets to stockholders. During 2005, 2006 and to date, management has been and will continue evaluating alternative businesses and acquisitions. There is no assurance that such alternative businesses and acquisitions can be identified before CTS spends all of its remaining cash balances, that it will be able to raise money on acceptable terms, if at all, to fund the acquisitions and/or the operating activities of the businesses it may acquire or seek to acquire, and that any acquired businesses will represent viable business strategies and/or will be consistent with the expectations and risk profiles of CTS’ stockholders.

Management expects that during 2007 the Company will incur costs of approximately $0.3 million, primarily related to costs of maintaining the business as a public entity and insurance. The Company does not have any current source of revenue and has no operations. However, management believes that its cash balances as of December 31, 2006 of approximately $3.5 million are sufficient to fund its current cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months.

The Company’s Strategy

The Company currently has no business operations, and has had none since 2003. As such, the Company’s principal business purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. Because of the Company’s current status, in the event the Company does successfully acquire or merge with an operating business opportunity, it is likely that the Company’s present stockholders may experience substantial dilution.

No representation is made, nor is any intended, that the Company will be able to carry on future business activities successfully. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, business opportunity or property that will be of material value to the Company or its stockholders. To date, the Company has not succeeded in concluding any such future business partnership and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in doing so during 2007.

The Company will not restrict its search to any specific geographical location, and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. The Company anticipates that it may only be able to participate in a limited number of potential business ventures, due primarily to its limited financing. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to the Company.

The Company may seek a business opportunity with one or more firms which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. A business opportunity may involve the acquisition of or by, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial

3


additional cash but which desires to establish a public trading market for its Common Stock. A company which seeks the Company’s participation in attempting to consolidate its operations through a merger, reorganization, asset acquisition, or some other form of combination may desire to do so to avoid what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself.

The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries, and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are firms seeking even the limited additional capital which the Company will have and/or the benefits of a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of a publicly traded corporation may include facilities or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for the principals of a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all stockholders, and other factors. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

The Company has limited capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. There may be significant post-merger or acquisition registration costs in the event such persons wish to register a portion of their shares for subsequent sale. The Company may also incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity including the costs of preparing Forms 8- K and/or SEC registration statements, agreements and related reports and documents.

Evaluation of Opportunities

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the Company’s Chairman of the Board and CEO. The Company intends to concentrate on identifying prospective business opportunities which may be brought to its attention through present contacts of the Company’s officers and directors, such as but not limited to attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, bankers, businessmen and others. From time to time, such contacts may refer their clients, acquaintances and others to the Company. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, the Company will consider such matters as the available technical, financial, and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operation, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. Management of the Company will meet personally with management and key personnel of the firm sponsoring the business opportunity, if such exists, as part of its investigation, and may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures to the extent of the Company’s limited financial resources and management expertise.

It may be anticipated that any opportunity in which the Company participates will present certain risks. Many of these risks cannot be adequately identified prior to selection of the specific opportunity, and stockholders of the Company must, therefore, depend on the ability of management to identify and evaluate such risks. In the case of some of the opportunities available to the Company, it may be anticipated that the promoters thereof have been unable to develop an economically viable business or that such business is in its development stage and there is a risk, even after the Company’s participation in the activity and the related expenditure of the Company’s funds, that the combined enterprises will still be unable to become economically viable or advance beyond the development stage. Certain opportunities may involve new and untested products, processes, or market strategies which may not succeed. Such risks will be assumed by the Company and, therefore, its stockholders.

Acquisition of Opportunities

In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. It may also purchase stock or assets of an existing business. It should be noted that the Company has limited capital

4


with which to make any acquisitions. Accordingly, it is likely that the consideration utilized to make any acquisitions will primarily consist of equity securities.

In the event that an acquisition transaction is made utilizing primarily equity securities (as is expected to be the case), the percentage ownership of present stockholders will be diluted, the extent of dilution depending upon the amount so issued. Persons acquiring shares in connection with any acquisition of a business may obtain an amount of equity securities sufficient to control the Company. In addition, the Company’s directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company’s stockholders. Further, if the Company were to issue substantial additional securities in any acquisition transaction, such issuance might have an adverse effect on the trading market in the Company’s securities in the future.

It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of a transaction, the Company may agree to register such securities either at the time the transaction is consummated, under certain conditions, or at specified times thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market in the Company’s securities may have a depressive effect on such market.

The Company intends to structure a merger or acquisition in such a manner as to minimize Federal and State tax consequences to the Company and to any target company. Under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a statutory merger or consolidation is an exempt transaction and may be tax-free if effected in accordance with State law. A tax-free reorganization may require the Company to issue a substantial number of its securities in exchange for the securities or assets of a target firm. Accordingly, the proportional interests of the stockholders of the Company prior to such transaction or reorganization may be substantially less than the proportional interest of such stockholders in the reorganized entity. Even if a merger or consolidation is undertaken in accordance with the Code, there is no assurance that Federal and State tax regulations will not change in the foreseeable future and result in the Company incurring a significant tax liability.

The ability of the Company to utilize its net operating losses and research and development tax credit carryforwards in future years may be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If in the future the Company issues common stock or equity instruments convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which result in the Company’s ownership change exceeding the 50% limitation threshold imposed by that section, all of the Company’s net operating losses and research and development credits may be significantly limited as to the amount of use in any particular year or forfeited.

The manner in which the Company participates in an opportunity will depend on the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and other parties, the management of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such other management.

The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs if the transaction is not closed, will set forth remedies on default, and will include miscellaneous other terms.

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation would likely not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Company of the related costs incurred.

Further, companies subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘Exchange Act”) must furnish certain information about significant acquisitions, including audited financial statements for the company or companies acquired covering at least two years. Consequently, if targeted

5


acquisition prospects do not have, or are unable to obtain, the requisite certified financial statements, such acquisitions by the Company would appear to be inappropriate.

Competition

The Company is aware that there are many other public companies with limited assets that are also searching for operating businesses and other business opportunities as potential acquisition or merger candidates. The Company will be in direct competition with these other public companies in its search for business opportunities. In addition, the Company expects to encounter substantial competition in its efforts to attract business opportunities from business development companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital affiliates of large industrial and financial institutions, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals. Competition in the search for business opportunities is principally based upon experience in connection with identifying and effecting business acquisitions, financial and personnel resources and technical expertise. Many of these entities have significantly greater experience, financial and personnel resources, and managerial and technical capabilities than the Company and in all likelihood will be in a better position than the Company to obtain access to attractive business opportunities. In view of the Company’s limited financial resources and personnel, the Company will be at a significant competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination.

Although the Company is subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. Such Act defines an “investment company” as an issuer which is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading of securities. The Company could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs if required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, management will continue to review the Company’s activities from time to time with a view toward reducing the likelihood the Company could be classified as an “investment company”.

In the event the Company acquires or merges with a business or business opportunity in certain industries, the Company expects that its business will be subject to various regulations. For example, the telecommunications industry is subject to the provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and FCC regulations there under, as well as applicable laws and regulations of the various states administered by the relevant state authorities. Certain aspects of the Internet industry are also subject to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and regulations of the FCC. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to comply with any such regulations. In addition, regulations may be enacted in the future which may have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.

Product Development

For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred no research and development expenditures.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

The Company currently has no sales and marketing personnel.

Proprietary Rights

The Company currently owns 14 issued United States patents relating to its former products. The Company’s strategy has been to protect its technology and other proprietary rights through patents, copyrights, trademarks, nondisclosure agreements, license agreements and other forms of protection. The Company also actively pursues patent protection for technology and processes involving its products that it believed to be proprietary and to provide a potential competitive advantage for the Company. In addition, the Company has also licensed patents from third parties in an effort to maintain flexibility in the development and use of its technology. The Company also attempted to protect its proprietary rights through the use of nondisclosure agreements with its employees and consultants, and license agreements with customers, which contain restrictions on disclosure, use and transfer of proprietary information. The Company further employs various physical security measures to protect its software source codes, technology and other proprietary rights. See also “Business Risks — Proprietary Rights” below.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had one part time employee and no full time employees. The Company’s employee is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company may find it necessary to periodically hire part-time clerical, technical or consulting help on an as-needed basis. See also “Business Risks- Dependence on Personnel” below.

Business Risks

The Company operates in a dynamic and rapidly changing business environment that involves substantial risk and uncertainty. The following discussion addresses some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause, or contribute to causing, actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in this report or any other disclosures or statements, oral or written, made by or on behalf of the Company. Readers should pay particular attention to the descriptions of risks and uncertainties described below.

NO CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS: With no current business operations, the Company’s principal business purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition. There is no assurance the Company’s intended merger or acquisition activities will be successful, result in revenue or profit to the Company or result in an increase in the value of its stock. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, difficulties and delays frequently encountered in connection with the operation and development of a new business. There is nothing at this time upon which to base an assumption that any business or business opportunity the Company acquires will prove successful, and there is no assurance that it will be able to operate profitably.

HISTORY OF NET LOSSES; ACCUMULATED DEFICIT: The Company incurred net losses of approximately $0.2 million in each of 2006 and 2005, and forecasts spending approximately $0.3 million in 2007 with no revenue except interest income. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $28.4 million, the majority of which accumulated during the three years ended December 31, 1998. Since the closures in late 2002 of the Isis subsidiary and Neumobility division, the Company has had no operations. Since then, the Company has been focusing on other business opportunities in its attempt to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to acquire any business or business opportunity or that any business or business opportunity the Company acquires will prove successful or will be able to operate profitably. There can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will be profitable on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Past revenue levels should not be considered indicative of future operating results. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those specified elsewhere in this report. If the Company is not successful in addressing such risks and uncertainties, the Company’s financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING: The Company’s needs for additional financing will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the timing and success of potential strategic alliances or acquisitions of businesses, technologies or assets. The Company believes that existing cash reserves will provide sufficient cash to fund its operations for at least the next two years. However, if the Company is unable to achieve positive cash flow or achieves sales growth requiring working capital beyond current amounts, the Company may be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated or may be required to curtail some of its activities. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to obtain such additional financing, if needed, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE; LIMITED TRADING MARKET: The market for the Company’s common stock is highly volatile and has had limited trading volumes in recent quarters. The trading price of the Company’s common stock has been and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to investors’ perception of the Company’s ability to make an acquisition, changes in the Company’s stock market listing status, as well as other events or factors. See “Business Risks — No Current Business Operations” above and “Nasdaq Listing Requirements” below. Statements or changes in opinions, ratings, or earnings estimates made by brokerage firms or industry analysts relating to the markets in which the Company has competed have resulted, and could in the future result, in an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

Only a limited trading market for the Company’s common stock currently exists. The market price of the common stock, which currently is listed on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol CTSC.OB, has, in the past, fluctuated substantially over time and may in the future be highly volatile. In

7


addition, the Company believes that relatively few market makers make a market in the Company’s common stock. The actions of any of these market makers could substantially impact the volatility of the Company’s common stock.

PENNY STOCK RULES: The Company’s common stock currently trades on the OTCBB. The stock may be subject to other rules including an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market. In addition, SEC rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to an understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as “bid” and “offer” quotes, a dealers “spread” and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealer’s duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customer’s rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and the NASD’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Securities Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. The additional burdens imposed upon broker/dealers by such requirements may discourage broker/dealers from effecting transactions in the common stock, which could severely limit the market for the Company’s common stock

COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES: The Company is aware that there are many other companies with limited assets that are also searching for operating businesses and other business opportunities as potential acquisition or merger candidates. The Company will be in direct competition with these other companies in its search for business opportunities. In addition, the Company expects to encounter substantial competition in its efforts to attract business opportunities from business development companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital affiliates of large industrial and financial institutions, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals. Competition in the search for business opportunities is principally based upon experience in connection with identifying and effecting business acquisitions, financial and personnel resources and technical expertise. Many of these entities have significantly greater experience, financial and personnel resources, and managerial and technical capabilities than the Company and may be in a better position than the Company to obtain access to attractive business opportunities. In view of the Company’s limited financial resources and personnel, the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to acquire a business opportunity on terms favorable to the Company.

STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS AND PARTNERSHIPS: The Company may need to establish and maintain strategic relationships including joint ventures with respect to technology, joint sales and marketing relationships and alliances for new product development and for the creation of new markets. The Company’s success may depend on strategic relationships to offer products and services to a larger customer base than can be reached through direct sales efforts. The Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to expand or enter into new relationships or that any such relationships will be on commercially reasonable terms. If the Company is unable to develop strategic relationships, it could lose the benefits anticipated from such relationships.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION;LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES; PERSONAL DATA: Although the Company is subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. Such Act defines an “investment company” as an issuer which is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading of securities. The Company could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs if required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, management will continue to review the Company’s activities from time to time with a view toward reducing the likelihood the Company could be classified as an “investment company.

Although the Company’s operations are not currently directly regulated, future operations of the Company may become subject to a variety of United States and foreign governmental laws, regulations and other requirements.

8


The terms of any existing laws, regulations or other requirements, or any changes thereto, may inhibit the growth of certain industries, limit the number of potential customers for the Company’s future products and services and/or impede the Company’s ability to offer competitive services to its chosen marketplaces or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company may be subject to claims arising out of content and materials posted in chat rooms or bulletin boards. The Company’s commercial liability insurance may not provide adequate protection against these types of claims.

Any new legislation or regulation or new applications of existing laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

TAXATION: In any acquisition or merger the Company may undertake, attention will be focused upon federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the “target” company. Presently, under Section 368 of the Code, a statutory merger or consolidation is an exempt transaction and may be tax-free if effected in accordance with State law. While the Company expects to undertake any merger or acquisition so as to minimize federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the “target” company, there is no assurance that such business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards will be fully available to offset any future taxable income generated by the Company. A nonqualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes which may have substantial adverse effect on the Company.

The ability of the Company to utilize its net operating losses and research and development tax credit carryforwards in future years may be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If in the future the Company issues common stock or equity instruments convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which result in the Company’s ownership change exceeding the 50% limitation threshold imposed by that section, all of the Company’s net operating losses and research and development credits may be significantly limited as to the amount of use in any particular year or forfeited.

POSSIBLE USE OF DEBT FINANCING; DEBT OF AN ACQUIRED BUSINESS: There are currently no limitations relating to the Company’s ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to the Company to effect a business combination or otherwise finance the operations of an acquired business. The amount and nature of any borrowings by the Company will depend on numerous considerations, including the Company’s capital requirements, the Company’s perceived ability to meet debt service on such borrowings, and then-prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that debt financing, if required or otherwise sought, will be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable and in the best interest of the Company. The inability of the Company to borrow funds required to effect or facilitate a business combination, or to provide funds for an additional infusion of capital into an acquired business, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and future prospects. Additionally, to the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject the Company to various risks traditionally associated with incurring of indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest. Furthermore, an acquired business may already have previously-incurred debt financing and, therefore, the risks inherent thereto, as discussed above.

ISSUANCE OF SHARES IN MERGER OR ACQUISITION: Any acquisition effected by the Company may result in the issuance of additional Common Stock or Preferred Stock without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of the Company’s securities held by the Company’s then-stockholders. Moreover, the Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non arm’s-length basis by management of the Company, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of securities held by the Company’s then-stockholders.

DEPENDENCE ON PERSONNEL; ADEQUATE STAFFING LEVELS AND MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH:

As the Company has no current business operations, its current staffing level of one part-time employee is adequate to manage the day to day operations. If the Company merges with or acquires another business, the staffing levels will be reassessed.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS: To the extent that the Company acquires or merges with an entity which pursues sales opportunities for its products and services in international markets, the Company is and will remain subject to all the risks inherent in international sales activities, such as lengthy sales cycles, high costs of sales, changes in export, import, tariff and other trade regulations, currency exchange rates, foreign tax laws and other legal, economic and political conditions. There can be no assurance that the occurrence of any of the foregoing will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the laws of certain foreign countries do not protect the Company’s intellectual property to the same extent as the laws of the United States. See “Proprietary Rights” (below). In certain international markets, the Company may need to modify its products or develop new or additional products to adapt to the different standards utilized in such markets. There can be no assurance that the Company’s marketing efforts and technological enhancements will result in successful commercialization or market acceptance or penetration in such international markets. If the Company is unable to adequately anticipate and respond to marketing or technological requirements in the international marketplace, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS: In past years the Company has depended in part on its ability to protect its technology, processes, trade secrets and other proprietary rights from unauthorized disclosure and use and operate the same without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. The Company’s strategy has been to protect its technology and other proprietary rights through patents, copyrights, trademarks, nondisclosure agreements, license agreements and other forms of protection.

Patents issued and patent applications filed relating to products used in the Company’s prior markets are numerous, and the patent positions of companies in these industries, including the Company, are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual issues. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any pending or future patent application of the Company or its licensors will result in issuance of a patent or that, when a patent is issued, the scope of protection of the patent will be sufficiently broad to protect the Company’s technology or provide a competitive advantage for the Company. There can be no assurance that any issued patent will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could result in substantial cost and uncertainty to the Company, may be necessary to enforce patent or other proprietary rights of the Company or to determine the scope and validity of a third-party’s proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed or will have the resources necessary to succeed in any such litigation or regulatory proceedings.

Although the Company believes that the technology in its prior products was independently developed and that its products did not infringe patents known to be valid or violate other proprietary rights of third parties, it is possible that such infringement of existing or future patents or violation of proprietary rights may occur. There can be no assurance that the Company is aware of all third-party proprietary rights that may materially affect the Company’s past products and services. United States patent applications, for example, are confidential while pending at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, but the laws of many foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims with respect to the Company’s past products or services, or that any such claims will not result in litigation or regulatory proceedings or require the Company to modify its products or enter into licensing arrangements, regardless of the merits of such claims. See “Business Risks — Risk of Litigation” below. No assurance can be given that the Company will have the resources necessary to successfully defend against any such infringement claims or that any necessary licenses could be obtained in a timely manner, upon commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The Company’s failure to successfully defend against any such claims or obtain any such license could result in substantial cost and uncertainty to the Company and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

RISK OF LITIGATION: From time to time, the Company may be a party to legal proceedings, which may or may not be in the ordinary course of business and which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. See also “Item 3 — Legal Proceedings” below.

Item 2. Description of Property

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company” herein include Cellular Technical Services Company, Inc. and any entity over which it has or shares operational control.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, product returns, bad debts, inventories, investments, intangible assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its 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. A more detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies can be found in Note A in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Basis of Accounting

The Company currently has no business. Management has no plan to liquidate the Company and distribute the remaining assets to stockholders. Further, management believes that its cash balances as of December 31, 2006 of approximately $3.5 million are sufficient to fund its current cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months.

Based on management plans, these financial statements have been prepared under the “going concern” assumption which presumes that the Company will continue its existence for the foreseeable future and is not subject to imminent liquidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generated no revenues during 2006 and 2005.

Long-Term Investment

The Company accounts for its investment in TruePosition, Inc. under the cost method, as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. Under the cost method of accounting, an investment in a

13


private company is carried at cost and adjusted only for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, distributions of earnings and additional investments. The Company periodically evaluates whether the declines in fair value of its investment are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of review of qualitative and quantitative factors by members of senior management as well as market prices of comparable public companies. The Company receives periodic financial statements to assist in reviewing relevant financial data and to assist in determining whether such data may indicate other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the Company’s accounting basis. When the Company determines the fair value of the investment had an other-than-temporary decline, an impairment write-down is recorded.

CTS has no current business, and has had none since 2003. Management currently has no plan to liquidate the Company and distribute the remaining assets to stockholders. During 2006, 2005 and to date, management has been and will be evaluating alternative businesses and acquisitions. There is no assurance that such alternative businesses and acquisitions can be identified before CTS spends all of its remaining cash balances, that CTS will be able to raise money at acceptable terms, if at all, to fund the acquisitions and/or the operating activities of the businesses it may acquire, and that the acquired businesses will represent viable business strategies and/or will be consistent with the expectations and risk profiles of CTS’ stockholders.

Management expects that during 2007 the Company will incur costs of approximately $0.3 million, primarily related to costs of maintaining the business as a public entity and insurance. The Company does not have any current source of revenue and has no operations. Accordingly, management believes that its cash balances as of December 31, 2006 of approximately $3.5 million are sufficient to fund its current cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months.

Products

Prepaid Long-Distance Phonecard Products: To provide revenue growth for the Company, and in alignment with its product diversification strategy, the Company expanded into the prepaid long-distance service arena in the fourth quarter of 1999. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Isis Tele-Communications, Inc., the Company marketed and distributed branded prepaid long-distance phonecards in denominations generally ranging from $5 to $20 per card. Isis also marketed prepaid wireless phones and phonecards. Isis specialized in targeted marketing programs and featured local and toll-free access numbers and aggressive domestic and international long-distance rates. Isis distributed cards through regional and national multi-level distribution channels, using direct sales, third party distributors and telemarketing. Due to continuing losses from declining margins and increased competition in this marketplace, the Company decided to close the Isis business in December 2002. At December 31, 2005, the Company had completed the winding down of its Isis operations.

Revenue and Expense

Revenue

The Company had no revenue in 2006 or 2005.

Costs and Expenses

General and administrative expenditures include the costs of executive, finance and administrative support functions, and costs of legal and accounting professional services.

Year ended December 31, 2006 compared to year ended December 31, 2005

Overview

Total revenues remained at zero in 2006 as they were in 2005. Net loss was $204,000 or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $228,000 or $0.06 per share in 2005.

The $24,000 decrease in net loss for 2006 in comparison to 2005 is due to the change in interest received on invested idle funds.

14


Costs and expenses

General and administrative expenses increased over 16 % to $371,000 in 2006 from $ 318,000 in 2005, due to costs incurred in researching potential acquisition and merger candidates.

Interest Income, net

Net interest income increased to $166,000 in 2006 from $90,000 in 2005. This increase is attributable to higher interest rates earned on invested cash balances in the current year compared to prior year.

Income Tax Expense

The Company recognized no income tax expense in either 2006 or 2005. The Company has fully reserved its net operating losses due to the uncertainty of recoverability of its deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s working capital decreased to $3.3 million at December 31, 2006 from $3.5 million at December 31, 2005.

Net Cash used in operating activities amounted to $0.03 million in 2006, compared to $0.2 million in 2005 and related to the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.0 at December 31, 2006 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2005 .The decrease was due to the issuance of capital stock in 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Aggregate Contractual Obligations, Certain Trading Activities and Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties

The Company has no disclosed or undisclosed off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company has no current future operating lease commitments. The Company has no purchase obligations, long-term debt or liabilities, capital lease obligations, operating leases or other long-term liabilities. The Company has not engaged in any trading activities involving non-exchange traded commodity contracts. The Company has no transactions with related parties or other parties able to negotiate terms that would be more favorable than those available to clearly independent third parties.

Operating Trends

Since 2003 when it wound down the operations of Isis, which it has done, the Company had no business. Management has no plan to liquidate the Company and distribute the remaining assets to stockholders. During 2005, 2006 and to date, the Company has been and will be evaluating alternative businesses and strategic acquisitions. There is no assurance that such alternative businesses and strategic acquisitions can be identified before CTS spends all of its remaining cash balances, that CTS will be able to raise money at acceptable terms, if at all, to fund the acquisitions and/or the operating activities of the businesses it may acquire, and that the acquired businesses will represent viable business strategies and/or will be consistent with the expectations and risk profiles of CTS’ stockholders.

Management expects that during 2007 the Company will incur costs of approximately $0.3 million, primarily related to costs of maintaining the business as a public entity and directors and officers liability insurance. The Company is not expected to have any significant revenues or operations. Accordingly, subject to a potential acquisition or other investment, management believes that the Company’s cash balances as of December 31, 2006 of approximately $3.5 million are sufficient to fund its current cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will be profitable on a quarterly basis in the future or that past revenue levels can be achieved, sustained or enhanced. Past and existing revenue levels should not be considered indicative of future operating results. The Company will use its cash and cash flow to cover operating expenses for general and administrative activities, potential acquisitions that may arise, and for other general corporate purposes.

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The Company was incorporated in June 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company” herein include Cellular Technical Services Company, Inc. (“CTS”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, ISIS Telecommunications, Inc.

CTS has no current business, and has had none since 2003. Management currently has no plan to liquidate the Company and distribute the remaining assets to stockholders. Management has been and will be evaluating alternative businesses and acquisitions. There is no assurance that such alternative businesses and acquisitions can be accomplished before CTS spends all of its remaining cash balances, that CTS will be able to raise money at acceptable terms, if at all, to fund the acquisitions and/or the operating activities of the businesses it may acquire, and that the acquired businesses will represent viable business strategies and/or will be consistent with the expectations and risk profiles of CTS’ stockholders.

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

The Company does not expect to have any current source of revenues except interest income and has no operations. However, management believes that its cash balances as of December 31, 2006 of approximately $3.5 million are sufficient to fund its current cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months.

NOTE B – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has used estimates in determining the carrying value of its long term investment, property and equipment, reserves for inventories and uncollectible accounts receivable, deferred revenues, and certain other provisions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

 

 

Equivalent: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.

 

 

 

Concentration: The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

At December 31, 2006, the Company has the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, long-term stock investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value based on the liquidity of these

23


financial instruments or based on their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of the stock investment was determined based on a review by members of senior management of qualitative and quantitative factors, including periodic financial statements of the investee and an appraisal performed by an independent appraiser, and is approximately equal to its carrying value after an impairment write-down in 2002.

Diversification of Credit Risk

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash investments. Credit risk from cash investments is managed by diversification of cash investments among institutions and by the purchase of investment-grade commercial paper securities. The estimated fair values of the securities approximate cost.

Long-Term Investment

The Company accounted for its investment in TruePosition, Inc. under the cost method, as the Company did not have the ability to exercise significant influence. Under the cost method of accounting, an investment in a private company is carried at cost and adjusted only for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, distributions of earnings and additional investments. The Company periodically evaluated whether the declines in fair value of its investment are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consisted of review of qualitative and quantitative factors by members of senior management as well as market prices of comparable public companies. The Company received periodic financial statements and appraisal information to assist in reviewing relevant financial data and to assist in determining whether such data may indicate other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the Company’s accounting basis. When the Company determined the fair value of the investment had an other-than-temporary decline, an impairment write-down of its investment in its entirety was recorded. There were no impairments in 2006 or 2005. (See Note C)

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when their realization is uncertain.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other common stock equivalents (i.e. stock options) in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive. Outstanding stock options of 172,600 and 174,600 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

Pursuant to the Company’s 1991 Qualified Stock Option and 1991 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans, as amended (the “1991 Plan”), the Company was authorized to grant options to purchase up to (i) 280,000 shares of Common Stock to its officers and key employees, at a price not less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant; and (ii) 120,000 shares of Common Stock to its directors, officers, key employees and others who rendered services to the Company at such price as fixed by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. Options granted under the 1991 Plan generally vest to the respective option holders at the rate of 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary date of the grant. No new grants may be made under the 1991 Plan. The Company has not granted any options under this plan during the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The Company’s 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan allows the Company to grant options to purchase up to 70,000 shares of Common Stock. Each non-employee director is to be granted options to purchase: (i) 2,000 shares of Common Stock upon initial appointment as a director of the Company; and (ii) an

24


additional 1,200 shares, in recurring annual increments, at a price equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant. Options under the Non-Employee Director Plan vest to the respective option holder after one year and have a term of ten years. The Company has not granted any options under this plan during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of both incentive (“ISO”) and non-qualified stock options up to a maximum of 335,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to employees (including officers and directors who are employees) of and consultants to the Company. The exercise price, term and vesting provision of each option grant is fixed by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee with the provision that the exercise price of an ISO may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, and the term of an ISO may not exceed ten years. The Company has not granted any options under this plan during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

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

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

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

Risks and Uncertainties

Management of the Company believes that the risks and uncertainties discussed below, whether viewed individually or in combination, will not result in a significant unfavorable impact to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that any unfavorable outcome of the risks and uncertainties discussed below will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Wind-down of past business segments; Future business plans: The Company has ceased its development efforts of geo-location wireless software platform and applications and completed the wind down of the operations of its Isis prepaid phonecard business. There can be no assurance that the Company will find profitable replacement businesses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

NOTE C–LONG TERM INVESTMENT:

In November 1999, the Company invested in a one-year, $1.0 million 10% convertible note of KSI, Inc. (“KSI”). The Company also received warrants to purchase KSI common stock in connection with this investment. All of the outstanding stock of KSI, Inc. was acquired by TruePosition, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation, (“Liberty Media”) in August 2000. Prior to the acquisition, the convertible note was exchanged for KSI common stock. The Company exercised warrants and purchased additional KSI common stock for approximately $754,000. The Company’s investment in KSI common stock was exchanged for TruePosition common stock on the date of the acquisition. The Company accounts for the investment in TruePosition using the cost method. In December 2002 the Company received certain valuation information from TruePosition, indicating a range of values for TruePosition. Based upon its review of available information and communications with Liberty Media, the Company concluded there had been an other-than-temporary decline in estimated fair value of its investment, and reduced the recorded carrying value of this investment from its cost basis of $1,754,000 to zero, representing its best estimate of the current fair value of the Company’s investment in the net equity of TruePosition. TruePosition’s operations have required significant infusions of cash by Liberty Media to date, and have not generated significant revenues. The Company’s investment in TruePosition common stock has been diluted by these advances, which were converted to preferred stock in late 2002. It is possible that in the future the Company may receive proceeds from sale of this investment but no such amount can be estimated at this time.

NOTE D - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

As of December 31, 2003, the Company leased office space under a month-to-month, verbal arrangement. During October 2004, the Company ceased operations in Seattle and moved its records to its Chairman’s office in New York. At December 31, 2006, there is no current rent expense incurred by the Company.

Legal proceedings: From time to time, the Company is involved with or could be subject to involvement with legal actions and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business which management believes will be resolved without a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. On October 25, 2001, New England Telecom, Inc. and Paul Gregory, a former employee, filed a claim in the Superior Court of Massachusetts (the “Court”) against the Company its Chairman, and Isis Tele-Communications, Inc (“Isis”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, alleging, among other things, that the Company breached a purchase agreement and a related employment contract. The agreement included a two-year earn-out with a maximum contingent total payout of $1.5 million. During December 2004, the Court dismissed all claims against the Company and its Chairman. During May 2005, this case was settled out of court by payment of a nominal sum to Mr. Gregory. The expense has been included in General and Administrative Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE E- EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN:

The Company had no employees participating in an Employee Retirement Savings Plan in either 2006 or 2005.

28


NOTE F - INCOME TAXES:

At December 31, 2006, the Company had available for federal income tax purposes net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $54.1 million which will expire through 2026, and research and development tax credits of approximately $1.2 million that will expire through 2024. A portion of the net operating loss carryforward (approximately $28 million) is attributed to the stock option deduction, the tax effect of which will be credited to additional paid-in capital when realized.

The ability of the Company to utilize its net operating losses and research and development tax credit carryforwards in future years may be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. If in the future the Company issues common stock or equity instruments convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, which result in the Company’s ownership change exceeding the 50% limitation threshold imposed by that section, all of the Company’s net operating losses and research and development credits may be further significantly limited as to the amount of use in any particular year or forfeited.

The net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows:

The Company paid Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) in 2000 and 1999. This created an AMT credit of approximately $53,000 to be utilized in future tax periods to the extent the regular tax liability exceeds the AMT liability. The Company has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the net deferred tax asset related to the operating loss carryforward and tax credits. The net changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets were approximately $0.07 million, and $0.08 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively, and were primarily attributable to the net losses in 2006 and 2005.

NOTE G -ACQUISITION OF NEW ENGLAND TELECOM, INC.

On August 10, 2000, the Company aquired substantially all of the assets of New England Telecom, Inc. (“NET”) through Isis. The agreement included an employment agreement with the principal NET shareholder, and a two-year earn-out period. During June 2001, employment of the former shareholder was terminated for breach of his employment contract. In October 2001, the former shareholder filed a claim against the Company, its Chairman, and Isis alleging, among other things, that the Company breached the purchase agreement and the employment contract. During December 2005, the Court dismissed all claims against the Company and its Chairman. During May 2005, this case was settled out of court by payment of a nominal sum to the former shareholder. The expense has been included in General and Administrative Expenses on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE H – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our financial reporting, and we are currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our disclosure requirements.

          In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108, “Considering the Effects on Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify errors using both the income statement method (i.e. iron curtain method) and the rollover method and requires adjustment if either method indicates a material error. If a correction in the current year relating to prior year errors is material to the current year, then the prior year financial information needs to be corrected. A correction to the prior year results that are not material to those years, would not require a “restatement process” where prior financials would be amended. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We do not anticipate that SAB 108 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

          In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The Company is

30


assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operation

In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of such date, to ensure that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in its reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
