SCHEDULES
2.2 MBYTF entered into a loan agreement with Xxxxxxx Xxxx under which MBYTF
may borrow up to $50,000 from Xx. Xxxx. Pursuant to a Loan Forgiveness and
Termination Agreement, the agreement shall be terminated and the
indebtedness of MBYTF for all amounts loaned thereunder shall be forgiven.

2.9
On October 22, 2003, MBYTF received a demand notice from USAC for assessed
USF fees related to its Business Communications Services business in the amount
of $78,531 (the "First USAC assessment)". The First USAC Assessment included
fees for the period of September 1, 2003 through September 30, 2003 during which
period the Company did not sell any services subject to USF fees. On November 1,
2003 the Company paid the First USAC Assessment in full, inclusive of $50,637
paid directly by ComTech 21, LLC to USAC on behalf of MBI. The Company believes
that it is owed a refund by USAC for the period of September 1, 2003 through
September 30, 2003.
On February 23, 2004, MBYTF received an invoice from USAC for assessed USF
fees in the amount of $23,527 for the period of October 1, 2003 through December
31, 2003 (the Second USAC Assessment"). During the period of October 1, 2003
through December 31, 2003, MBI did not sell any services subject to USF fees.
The Company believes that it is the policy of USAC to invoice assessments for
USF fees for the entire calendar year, irrespective as to whether a company was
actually in the business of providing telecommunications services assessable for
USF fees for the entire year, and to provide a refund in the third calendar
quarter of the following year for any amounts that were assessed incorrectly.
Even though MBI did not provide any services subject to USF fees from September
1, 2003 forward it may have been required to pay the Second USAC Assessment and
to subsequently apply for a refund.
On October 30, 2003, MBYTF entered into a term purchase orders with Focal
under which MBYTF became obligated for minimum payments of $3,767 per month
through October 30, 2006 and payments of $350 per month on a month to month
basis. MBYTF defaulted on payments to Focal. Focal engaged a collection agent to
enforce payment under the agreement claiming MBYTF owed Focal $133,198 including
interest and collection costs. Excess amounts claimed of $129,502 over amount
recorded in accounts payable in 2003 will record as a loss on service agreement
in the consolidated statement of operations in 2004. There can be no assurance
that Focal will not take legal action to enforce its rights to collect. On June
30, 2004, the Company wound up and dissolved MBYTF.
i
2.10 and 2.11 As at December 31, 2004, MBYTF has no operating leases for office
premises.
2.12 On February 25, 2005 the Alberta Securities Commission issued a Cease Trade
Order (CTO) which declared the trading cease in the securities of Moving Bytes
(MBYTF) in Alberta Canada. Immediately following the Alberta decision British
Columbia issued a similar CTO. MBYTF had failed to file its interim unaudited
financial statements for the periods ending June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004
within the prescribed time with SEDAR. On March 10, 2005 MBYTF filed all interim
reports, on June 28, 2005 the CTO's were revoked. On July 17, 2005 MBYTF was no
longer required to be a reporting issuer in Canada.
2.13 Effective September 9, 2003 MBYTF entered into a promissory note with DCA
for $12,500 against payment of the final costs under MBYTF's billing agreement
with DCA. The promissory note was due October 1, 2003 and included provisions
for a payment of up to 4% of the principal amount as a late charge or, plus
attorney's fees in the event of any collection action. MBYTF defaulted on the
note and on May 26, 2004 DCA received a default judgment against MBYTF in the
District Court of Oklahoma County, State of Oklahoma in the amount of $15,386.
On September 21, 0000 XXX received a default judgment against MBYTF in the
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx xx Xxxxxxxxxx to enforce the unpaid
District Court of Oklahoma judgment plus reimbursement of filings fees in the
amount of $296 and interest in the amount of $76. MBYTF has accrued $15,759 in
liabilities from discontinued operations at December 31, 2004 related to DCA.
Prior to its dissolution MBYTF did not have sufficient funds to pay the
judgment. On June 30, 2004, MBYTF wound up and dissolved. To the extent that DCA
takes action to enforce its rights, and is successful in enforcing its rights
against MBYTF, there is substantial doubt that MBYTF could carry on as a going
concern. See "Material Agreements - Telecommunications Agreements" and "Risk
Factors - DCA Litigation".
To the best of its knowledge, MBYTF is not subject to any other active or
pending legal proceedings or claims against it or any of its properties.
However, from time to time, MBYTF may become subject to claims and litigation
generally associated with any business venture.
2.14 Options agreements with Xxxx Xxxxx to purchase 3,000,000 shares at an
exercise price of .075 on or before the close of business on October 31, 2005
