16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Critical Accounting Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned, net of commissions paid to third parties. The Company's current revenue generating activities primarily involve compensation earnings from coordinating network and telecommunication needs with third parties and maintaining a customer service relationship with those parties on behalf of the Company's customers and from sales originated through a Joint Marketing Agreement ("JMA") with Hutchison HG.

Depending on the nature of the customer contract, the timing of the Company's revenue recognition occurs in three ways: Type 1 The Company submits a contract with a third party to its customer for services that the customer will provide (typically over a 36-month period). The customer completes its review of the submitted contract and accepts the submitted contract by publishing an order number and releasing the contract for provisioning. The amount is determined based on the agreed upon total contract value multiplied by the established compensation rates and revenue is recognized. These sales result in a one-time incentive compensation fee.

In these lump-sum compensation arrangements, the customer may not claw back - unreasonably withhold - or transfer these orders and must pay the Company per agreement within 90-120 days depending on the type and timing of the contract.

Type 2 The Company submits a contract with a third party to its customer for services that the customer will provide (typically over a 36-month period). The customer completes set-up and installation services with the third party. The third party will provide acceptance to the customer at which point the Company is also granted acceptance from its customer. The amount is based on the customer's monthly billing to the third party times an established compensation rate. These sales result in monthly recognition of the compensation fee.

Type 3 The Company sells data center rack space, cross connections between data centers and associated network services to Hutchison HG on behalf of their clients under the JMA. The JMA provides that the Company pay 20% of the revenue earned through the JMA to a wholly-owned US based subsidiary of Hutchison HG. The Company recognizes revenue on a monthly basis based on rack space and data center usage along with provided network services to the Hutchinson HG clients, pursuant to their related contracts with Hutchison HG.

Office Locations We are headquartered in Metamora, IL. We also lease office space in New York, NY on a month to month basis.
