PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of its President and Chief Executive
Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and its Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer,
conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this
evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and its principal
financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004.
During the second fiscal quarter of 2004, there were changes in the Company's
internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial
reporting as follows:
The Company dedicated significant resources during the second quarter of
2004 in preparing for the conversion of its new PCS point of sale system.
The conversion will involve a change from a stand-alone, Company-hosted
system, to a system hosted by Sprint that is integrated into the Sprint
PCS billing system. Through this integration, the Company has eliminated
several points of multiple data entry, thereby reducing the risk of error,
and enhancing internal control, while improving the sales process. The new
system was placed in service during mid-July 2004.
Under our agreements with Sprint, Sprint provides us with billing, collections,
customer care, certain network operations and other back office services for the
PCS operation. As a result, Sprint remits to the Company approximately 63% of
the Company's total revenues based on the results of the 2004 second quarter,
while approximately 44% of the expenses reflected in the Company's consolidated
financial statements relate to charges by or through Sprint for expenses such as
billing, collections and customer care, roaming expense, long-distance, and
travel. Due to this relationship, the Company necessarily relies on Sprint to
provide accurate, timely and sufficient data and information to properly record
our revenues, expenses and accounts receivable, which underlie a substantial
portion of our periodic financial statements and other financial disclosures.
Information provided by Sprint includes reports regarding the subscriber
accounts receivable in our markets. Sprint provides us monthly accounts
receivable, billing and cash receipts information on a market level, rather than
a subscriber level. We review these various reports to identify discrepancies or
errors. However, under our agreements with Sprint, we are entitled to only a
portion of the receipts, net of items such as taxes, government surcharges,
certain allocable write-
2
offs and the 8% of revenue retained by Sprint. Because of our reliance on Sprint
for financial information, we must depend on Sprint to design adequate internal
controls with respect to the processes established to provide this data and
information to the Company and Sprint's other PCS affiliate network partners. To
address this issue, Sprint engages its independent auditors to perform a
periodic evaluation of these controls and to provide a "Report on Controls
Placed in Operation and Tests of Operating Effectiveness for Affiliates" under
guidance provided in Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 ("SAS 70 reports").
The report is provided to us annually and covers a twelve-month period from
October to September. The most recent report indicated there were no issues
which would adversely affect the information used to support the recording of
the revenues and expenses provided by Sprint related to our relationship with
them.
In connection with the requirements imposed under Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have retained an outside consulting firm to
assist us in reviewing, documenting, and improving our internal control
processes and intend to engage a regional accounting firm to assist in the
testing of these controls.
As part of the preparation for meeting the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company has spent time formalizing and further
documenting existing internal controls
