NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of FullNet Communications and its subsidiaries (“we”, “our”, collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will be reported for the year ending December 31, 2021.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which the World Health Organization has characterized as a “pandemic”, has resulted in a crisis affecting economies and financial markets worldwide. The pandemic, and its attendant economic damage, has impacted market segments in different ways, with industries experiencing significant losses while others actually gained. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic, with its shifts in human interactions and communications, resulted for us in a net addition of new customers and the sale of additional services to existing customers and increased interest in our automated group text and voice message delivery services. As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, it is possible that the increases we have experienced may slow, resulting in adverse effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The ultimate extent of its impact on us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the extent to which people return to preexisting patterns of behavior when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles for income taxes. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Income (loss) per share – basic is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the year, including shares issuable without additional consideration. Income per share, assuming dilution, is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential shares calculated using the treasury stock method for options and warrants and the “if converted” method for convertible preferred stock.
The reconciliation of basic and diluted income per share are as follows:

5. LEASES
We determine if a contract contains a lease by evaluating the nature and substance of the agreement. The only lease that we have is the real estate lease for our headquarters facility, which was originally executed on December 2, 1999, and which has been extended several times. This lease was renewed for a term of five additional years. We recognize lease expense for this lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We used our incremental borrowing rate (8.5%) in determining the present value of the lease payments over the lease expiration date of December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2021, the remaining future cash payments under our lease total to $

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the financial statements contained therein, including the notes thereto, and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission since December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “Disclosure Documents”). Certain forward-looking statements contained in this Report and in the Disclosure Documents regarding our business and prospects are based upon numerous assumptions about future conditions which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and actual events and results may materially differ from anticipated results described in such statements. Our ability to achieve these results is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those inherent risks and uncertainties generally in the Internet service provider and group message delivery industries, the impact of competition and pricing, changing market conditions, and other risks. Any forward-looking statements contained in this Report represent our judgment as of the date of this Report. We disclaim, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. As a result, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are an integrated communications provider. Through our subsidiaries, we have historically provided high quality, reliable and scalable Internet access, web hosting, local telephone service, equipment colocation, customized live help desk outsourcing services, mass notification services using text messages and automated telephone calls, as well as advanced voice and data solutions. As explained below, the majority of our focus going forward is on our revenue and customers coming from three primary types of service: 1) Mass notification services using text messages and automated telephone calls, 2) Equipment colocation and related services, and 3) Customized live help desk outsourcing service.
References to us in this Report include our subsidiaries: FullNet, Inc. (“FullNet”), FullTel, Inc. (“FullTel”), FullWeb, Inc. (“FullWeb”), and CallMultiplier, Inc. (“CallMultiplier”). Our principal executive offices are located at 201 Robert S. Kerr Avenue, Suite 210, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, and our telephone number is (405) 236-8200. We also maintain Internet sites on the World Wide Web (“WWW”) at www.fullnet.net, www.fulltel.com and www.callmultiplier.com. Information contained on our Web sites is not, and should not be deemed to be, a part of this Report.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which the World Health Organization has characterized as a “pandemic”, has resulted in a crisis affecting economies and financial markets worldwide. The pandemic, and its attendant economic damage, has impacted market segments in different ways, with industries experiencing significant losses while others actually gained. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic, with its shifts in human interactions and communications, resulted for us in a net addition of new customers and the sale of additional services to existing customers and increased interest in our automated group text and voice message delivery services. As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, it is possible that the increases we have experienced may slow, resulting in adverse effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The ultimate extent of its impact on us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the extent to which people return to preexisting patterns of behavior when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
Company History
We were founded in 1995 as CEN-COM of Oklahoma, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, to bring dial-up Internet access and education to rural locations in Oklahoma that did not have dial-up Internet access. We changed our name to FullNet Communications, Inc. in December 1995. Through a wholly owned subsidiary, we started a competitive local exchange carrier (“CLEC”) in 2003 and later exited the retail telephone service business in early 2018. In response to the rapidly evolving Internet based telecommunications services environment, we have continued to expand and improve our service offerings.
Today we are an integrated communications provider primarily focused on providing mass notification services using text messages and automated telephone calls, equipment colocation and related services, and customized live help desk outsourcing service.
Through CallMultiplier Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, we offer a comprehensive cloud-based solution to consumers and businesses for automated mass texting and voice message delivery. We serve groups throughout the United States and Canada that come from a wide range of industries including religious groups, non-profit companies, schools and universities, businesses, sports groups, staffing companies, property management groups, government entities, and more. These customers use CallMultiplier to quickly send important and informational messages to groups ranging in size from five to more than 250,000 people. We exclusively focus on messages that recipients have asked for or otherwise desire to receive. Sending unsolicited marketing or any unlawful messages through CallMultiplier is a violation of our Terms of Service.
10
We market our carrier neutral colocation solutions in our data center to competitive local exchange carriers, Internet service providers and businesses that need a physical presence in the Oklahoma City market. Our colocation facility is carrier neutral, allowing customers to choose among competitive offerings rather than being restricted to one carrier. Our data center is telco-grade and provides customers a high level of operative reliability and security. We offer flexible space arrangements for customers and 24-hour onsite support with both battery and generator backup.
Our customized live help desk outsourcing service is used by companies that want the benefit of having someone answer the telephone and respond to email 24 hours a day, without wanting to incur the costs to maintain the necessary staff to do so themselves. This service complements our existing staff and leverages the resources we have in place 24 hours a day.
Our common stock trades on the OTC “Pink Sheets” under the symbol FULO. While our common stock trades on the OTC “Pink Sheets”, it is very thinly traded, and there can be no assurance that our shareholders will be able to sell their shares should they so desire. Any market for the common stock that may develop, in all likelihood, will be a limited one, and if such a market does develop, the market price may be volatile.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (the “2021 1st Quarter”) Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 (the “2020 1st Quarter”)
Revenues
Total revenue increased $311,637 or 43.6% to $1,025,984 for the 2021 1st Quarter from $714,347 for the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to the net addition of new customers and the sale of additional services to existing customers.
In the 2021 1st Quarter, we had interest income of $326. In the 2020 1st Quarter, we had interest income of $1,783.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Cost of revenue increased $40,202 or 37.0% to $148,873 for the 2021 1st Quarter from $108,671 for the same period in 2020.
11
This increase was primarily related to servicing new customers added through growth of business. Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 14.5% during the 2021 1st Quarter, compared to 15.2% during the same period in 2020, as a result of decreased utilization of higher cost components of our service offerings combined with price decreases from our vendors.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $52,298 or 9.4% to $502,364 for the 2021 1st Quarter compared to $554,662 for the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily related to decreases in advertising, supplies, bad debt expense, utilities, and travel and entertainment of $73,159, $2,360, $2,347, $1,661, and $1,091, respectively, which were offset by increases in employee costs, bank and credit card fees, professional fees, business insurance, repairs and maintenance, and miscellaneous expenses of $12,428, $7,706, $3,279, $2,395, $1,926, and $529, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 49.0% during the 2021 1st Quarter from 77.6% during the same period in 2020.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $280 or 12.8% to $2,470 for the 2021 1st Quarter compared to $2,190 for the same period in 2020. This increase was related to depreciation associated with assets purchased during the 2021 1st Quarter.
Income Taxes
Our deferred tax assets relate primarily to net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes at March 31, 2021, totaling approximately $942,222 which will begin to expire in 2023. On a regular basis, we evaluate all available evidence, both positive and negative, regarding the ultimate realization of the tax benefits of our deferred tax assets. Based upon the historical trend of increasing earnings we concluded that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized from our deferred tax assets and therefore in the 4th Quarter of 2020 eliminated the previously recorded valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets. Elimination of the valuation allowance resulted in a deferred tax asset at December 31, 2020, of approximately $339,000 and a corresponding tax benefit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. As a result, we began recording income tax expense in the 1st Quarter of 2021.
Net Income
For the 2021 1st Quarter, we realized net income of $275,934 compared to net income of $50,607 for the same period in 2020. The increase was due primarily to an increase in total revenue of $311,637 in the 1st Quarter of 2021 over that in the 1st Quarter of 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, we had $1,769,738 in cash and $1,799,011 in current assets and $1,467,547 in current liabilities. Current liabilities consist primarily of $427,027 in accrued and other liabilities, of which $254,359 is owed to our officers and directors, and $875,158 in deferred revenue. Our officers and directors, who are also major shareholders, have agreed to not seek payment of any of the amounts owed to them if such payment would jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. The deferred revenue represents advance payments for services from our customers which will be satisfied by our delivery of services in the normal course of business and will not require settlement in cash.
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had positive working capital of $331,464 and a working capital deficit of $38,870, respectively. We do not have a line of credit or credit facility to serve as an additional source of liquidity. Historically we have relied on shareholder loans as an additional source of funds.
As of March 31, 2021, $44,971 of the $50,135 we owed to our trade creditors was past due. We have no formal agreements regarding payment of these amounts.
Cash flow for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of the following:

12
On January 4, 2021, we paid the December 7, 2020, preferred stock dividends declared of $168,079.
On March 25, 2021, employee stock options for 203,000 shares of our common stock were exercised. Proceeds from the exercise of the options were $609.
The planned expansion of our business will require significant capital to fund capital expenditures and working capital needs. Our principal capital expenditure requirements will include:
• |
| mergers and acquisitions; |
• |
| improvements of existing services, development of new services; and |
• |
| further development of operations support systems and other automated back-office systems. |
Because our cost of developing new networks and services, funding other strategic initiatives, and operating our business depend on a variety of factors (including, among other things, the number of customers and the service for which they subscribe, the nature and penetration of services that may be offered by us, regulatory changes, and actions taken by competitors in response to our strategic initiatives), it is almost certain that actual costs and revenues will materially vary from expected amounts and these variations are likely to increase our future capital requirements.
Our ability to fund the capital expenditures and other costs contemplated by our business plan in the near term will depend upon, among other things, our ability to generate consistent net income and positive cash flow from operations as well as our ability to seek and obtain additional financing. Capital will be needed in order to implement our business plan, deploy our network, expand our operations and obtain and retain a significant number of customers in our target markets. Each of these factors is, to a large extent, subject to economic, financial, competitive, political, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. In applying these accounting principles, we must often make individual estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties. As might be expected, the actual results or outcomes are generally different than the estimated or assumed amounts. These differences are usually minor and are included in our consolidated financial statements as soon as they are known. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We periodically review the carrying value of our intangible assets when events and circumstances warrant such a review. One of the methods used for this review is performed using estimates of future cash flows. If the carrying value of our intangible assets is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds its fair value. We believe that the estimates of future cash flows and fair value are reasonable. Changes in estimates of these cash flows and fair value, however, could affect the calculation and result in additional impairment charges in future periods.
We periodically review the carrying value of our property and equipment whenever business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the property and equipment are less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to fair market value and a charge is recorded to current operations. Significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, including significant adverse changes in business climate, adverse actions by regulators, unanticipated competition, loss of key customers and/or changes in technology or markets, could require a provision for impairment in a future period.
We review loss contingencies and evaluate the events and circumstances related to these contingencies. We disclose material loss contingencies that are possible or probable, but cannot be estimated. For loss contingencies that are both estimable and probable the loss contingency is accrued and expense is recognized in the financial statements.
All of our revenues are recognized over the life of the contract as services are provided. Revenue that is received in advance of the services provided is deferred until the services are provided. Revenue related to set up charges is also deferred and amortized over the life of the contract. We classify certain taxes and fees billed to customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in revenue.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required and have not elected to report any information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO/CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO/CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
