COMMON STOCK

                  This prospectus covers 8,779,333 shares of the common stock of UCN, Inc., that may be sold from time to time by the persons listed under the caption “Selling Security Holders,” beginning on page 37 of the prospectus. The selling security holders own

  •            Warrants to purchase 109,375 shares at a price of $1.25 per share
  •            Warrants to purchase 4,466,856 shares at a price of $2.00 per share
  •            Warrants to purchase 672,700 shares at a price of $2.50 per share
  •            Options to purchase 2,189,152 shares at prices ranging from $2.00 to $5.392 per share
  •            Convertible notes in the amount of $1,162,500 convertible at $2.00 per share
  •            Convertible notes in the amount of $1,775,000 convertible at $2.50 per share
  •            50,000 shares of common stock

        Of these shares, 717,500 have been sold by the selling security holders, options and warrants for 214,700 shares have expired, and 810,000 shares will not be issued on conversion of convertible notes due to the fact the notes were repaid. Consequently, 7,037,133 shares remain unsold.

        UCN will receive the proceeds from exercise of the warrants and options and will benefit from extinguishment of the debt represented by the convertible notes, but will not receive any proceeds or benefit from the resale of the shares by the selling security holders.

        Quotations for our common stock are reported on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “UCNN.” On August 31, 2004, the closing bid price for our common stock was $2.30 per share.

        See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3 of the prospectus for information you should consider before you purchase shares.

        Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

UCN, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Unaudited)

June 30, 2004

1.   Basis of presentation
   
 

These unaudited interim financial statements of UCN, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, “UCN” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of Company management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods shown. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003, as filed with the Commission on March 30, 2004.

   
 

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year

   
2.   Summary of significant accounting policies
   

Net Income Per Common Share: Basic net income per common share (“Basic EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the quarterly and year-to-date periods. Diluted net income per common share (“Diluted EPS”) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into common stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on net income per common share.

 
Following is the reconciliation of Basic and Diluted EPS:

Stock-Based Compensation: Employee compensation expense is measured using the intrinsic method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income applicable to common stockholders, since all options had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effects on net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders and earnings (loss) per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Long-Lived Assets:We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangibles, when events or circumstances indicate the existence of a possible impairment, based on projected undiscounted cash flows, and recognize impairment when such cash flows will be less than the carrying values. Measurement of the amounts of impairments, if any, is based upon the difference between carrying value and fair value. Events or circumstances that could indicate the existence of a possible impairment include obsolescence of the technology, an absence of market demand for the product, and/or continuing technology rights protection. Management believes the net carrying amount of long-lived assets will be recovered by future cash flows generated by commercialization of the technology related to the long-lived asset and from cash flows generated from customer lists.


 

Capitalized Software Costs: In accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the Company capitalizes certain costs incurred for the development of internal use software. These costs include the costs associated with coding, software configuration, upgrades, and enhancements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company capitalized $200,594 and $413,270, respectively.


 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No.03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. This pronouncement provides guidance to determine the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity (including individual securities and investments in mutual funds), and investments accounted for under the cost method or the equity method. The guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired is to be applied in other-than-temporary impairment evaluations made in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. Management believes the adoption of Issue No. 03-1 will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

UCN, Inc. (formerly Buyers United, Inc.) is a domestic telecommunications company that offers and sells a wide range of long distance and related communication services to business and residential customers. Historically we functioned as an aggregator and reseller of telecommunications services provided by others. We intend to continue to pursue and develop this type of business.

In 2003 UCN purchased assets and licensed in perpetuity software that enabled UCN to establish and operate a Voice over Internet Protocol communications network (VoIP Network). With the VoIP Network UCN now offers, as a provider, enhanced services such as fax to email. Furthermore, UCN transmits data and other communication services for a portion of the journey over the VoIP Network rather than entirely through third party providers.

In October 2003, UCN acquired the exclusive right to sell and manage the enhanced telecommunications functions of MyACD, Inc. with a one-year option to purchase it at a price of approximately $6.8 million. With the MyACD technology we are now offering a new product approach that combines our national VoIP Network with on-demand proprietary telephony software for contact handling/management applications. We are changing the way mission critical applications are delivered and priced for the contact center marketplace, or for any business or department seeking to improve how it manages the productivity and quality of its customer contact opportunities.

UCN entered into an agreement to purchase 37 dedicated long distance customers from Source Communications, LLC for $757,856 in February 2004. The transaction was completed in March 2004.

We generate internal growth by pursuing multiple marketing avenues, including using independent agents, value-added resellers, and selling through our direct sales force. We intend to expand and develop our direct sales force and value-added reseller programs during the remainder of 2004.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Total revenues increased 2.7 percent to $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $16.3 million for the same period in 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, revenues increased 5.3 percent to $33.5 million as compared to $31.8 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in revenue is due to new customers purchased throughout 2003 and the acquisition of customers from Source Communication, LLC, which closed in March 2004. We also generated growth internally from ongoing promotional efforts, primarily involving independent agents. The increase in revenue from new and existing customers during the first six months of 2004 was offset by attrition of our residential customer base. We acquired new business customers and a substantial residential customer base during the first six months of 2003 from Touch America. We expect the residential customer base will continue to decline in subsequent periods because our marketing focus is on the business user of telecommunication services and not the residential long distance user. Consequently, we expect a gradual transition in our sales mix in future periods as the number of business customers increases and residential customers decreases.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 were $9.0 million, a 4.5 percent increase, compared to $8.6 million for the comparable period in 2003. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, costs of revenue increased to $18.2 million, a 5.2 percent increase as compared to $17.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2003. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 was 53.7 percent as compared to 52.7 percent during 2003, and was 54.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 54.3 percent for the same period in 2003.

15



The decrease in gross margin in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 is the result of lower, more competitive pricing we adopted in some of the newer long-distance rate plans. Also affecting the difference in gross margin rates for the second quarter was a one-time credit recognized during 2003 from one of our long-distance service providers.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2004 decreased 8.3 percent to $3.8 million compared to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2003, and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased 0.6 percent to $7.8 million as compared to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. A portion of the difference is attributable to the higher costs we incurred in 2003 to integrate and improve the VoIP Network acquired at the beginning of 2003 compared to the costs of maintaining and upgrading the Network during the first six months of 2004.

Selling and promotion expenses

Selling and promotion expenses increased 34.6 percent to $3.6 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2004 from $2.7 million for the same period in 2003. Such expenses increased 34.0 percent to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increases are the result of the transition in our sales mix over the first six months of 2004 as higher commissioned business customers increased in the first six months of 2004, and lower commissioned residential customers decreased through attrition. In addition, during the second quarter of 2004 we increased expenses related to our direct sales channel.

Other income (expense)

Interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2004 was $191,692, compared to $506,166 in 2003, and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 interest expense was $549,117 compared to $992,095 in 2003. The decreases were the result of a reduction in the outstanding debt throughout 2004 compared to 2003.

During the third quarter of 2003, UCN entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire approximately 12,000 long distance customers from Glyphics Communications, Inc. Subsequently, the two parties agreed that UCN would accelerate payments under the agreement in exchange for a discount on the purchase price. The final payment under the agreement was made in February 2004, and we recorded a $109,150 gain on the early extinguishment of the debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

UCN completed a private placement of common stock on March 15, 2004. UCN sold 3,782,000 shares of common stock at $2.30 per share, or a total of approximately $8.7 million. Net proceeds of the offering after placement fees and expenses were approximately $8.1 million. The net proceeds of the private placement have been, and will be used for various purposes, including sales and marketing related programs, funding further development of our VoIP Network, reducing debt, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

UCN’s current ratio as of June 30, 2004 increased to 0.86:1 from 0.52:1 at December 31, 2003. The components of current assets and current liabilities that changed most significantly since the end of 2003 were the line of credit, the current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations, and accounts payable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004 long-term debt and the related current portion of long-term debt decreased by $5.8 million. Included therein was $2.3 million in note repayments to one of UCN’s

16



directors. The director subsequently exercised warrants to purchase 297,500 shares of common stock. The proceeds received by UCN totaled $595,000. UCN also repaid a $50,000 note payable to another of its directors. Also included in the long-term debt decrease was the conversion of a $300,000 promissory note into 150,000 shares of common stock.

UCN has a line of credit agreement with RFC Capital Corporation that expires in January 2006. The available borrowing limit is $5 million. Interest accrues at prime plus three percent. The facility allows UCN to obtain financing on its eligible accounts receivable, including unbilled receivables and regular monthly billings. The facility is collateralized by the underlying receivables. On June 30, 2004, the maximum amount available based on eligible accounts receivable at that time was approximately $3.5 million. The amount outstanding on that date, less applied draws by RFC, aggregated $754,559. The facility requires UCN to maintain a restricted cash account for the collection of the receivables. As of June 30, 2004, UCN had $1.5 million of restricted cash specifically associated with the RFC arrangement.

On September 10, 2003, UCN filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for resale up to approximately 8.8 million shares of common stock underlying outstanding warrants, options and convertible debt. During 2003, investors exercised warrants to purchase 522,500 shares of common stock providing cash to UCN of approximately $1.0 million. As of June 30, 2004, investors had exercised warrants for an additional 647,000 shares of common stock, providing cash of $1,294,500.

In October 2003, UCN acquired the exclusive right to sell and manage the enhanced telecommunications functions of MyACD, Inc. (“MyACD”), with a one-year option to purchase it for approximately $6.8 million, paid over a three-year period beginning in January 2004. During the term of the agreement, UCN has the sole right to manage sales, service and billing of MyACD services. Under the agreement MyACD will continue to provide enhanced service development and configuration, and UCN will reimburse MyACD for actual costs related to these activities.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Revenue Recognition – UCN’s revenue recognition policy with respect to reseller agreements is to record gross revenues and receivables from customers when UCN acts as principal in the transaction; takes title to the products or services; and has risks and rewards of ownership, such as risk of loss for collection, delivery, or returns. Revenues from sales of services are recognized upon providing the services to the customers.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Accounts receivable is comprised of amounts billed and billable to customers, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated by management and is based on specific information about customer accounts, past loss experience, and general economic conditions. An account is written off by management when deemed uncollectible, although collections efforts may continue.

17



Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. In accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” UCN capitalizes certain costs incurred for the development of internal use software. These costs include the costs associated with coding, software configuration, upgrades, and enhancements.

Long-Lived Assets — Our long-lived assets consist of acquired customer lists, patents, and acquired technology. As June 30, 2004, the carrying value of these assets was $7,346,085, or 31% of total assets. We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangibles, when events or circumstances indicate the existence of a possible impairment. In our evaluation, we estimate the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, and recognize impairment when such cash flows will be less than carrying values. Events or circumstances that could indicate the existence of a possible impairment include obsolescence of the technology, an absence of market demand for the product, and/or the partial or complete lapse of continuing technology rights protection.

Stock-Based Compensation — We have a stock option plan that provides for the issuance of common stock options to employees and service providers. Although SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages entities to adopt a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments, it also allows an entity to continue measuring compensation cost for stock-based compensation for employees and directors using the intrinsic-value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We have elected to follow the accounting provisions of APB 25 and to furnish the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123 for employees and directors, but we also issue warrants to non-employees that are recognized as expense when issued in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123. We calculate compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In so doing, we estimate certain key variables used in the model. We believe the estimates we use are appropriate and reasonable

Debt Issuance Costs — As an inducement to various investors, shareholders, and board members to lend monies to UCN, shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were issued to them. The fair market value of those shares at the date of issuance has been capitalized as debt issuance costs and is being amortized over the life of the loans.

Income Taxes — UCN recognizes a liability or asset for the deferred income tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. These deferred income tax assets or liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to amounts considered by management to be more likely than not of realization in future periods.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1985 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by UCN, except where such statements are made in connection with an initial public offering. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, which address activities, actions, goals, prospects, or new developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as expansion and growth of our operations and other such matters are forward-looking statements. Any one or a combination of factors could materially affect our operations and financial condition. These factors include competitive pressures, success or failure of marketing programs, changes in pricing and availability of services and products offered to customers, legal and regulatory initiatives affecting customer marketing and rebate programs or long distance service, and conditions in the capital markets. Forward-looking statements made by us are based on knowledge of our business and the environment in which we operate as of the date of this report. Because of the factors listed above, as well as other factors beyond its control, actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

With the participation of management, UCN’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures on August 05, 2004. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in connection with UCN’s filing of its interim report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2004.

Subsequent to August 05, 2004, through the date of this filing of Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2004, there have been no significant changes in UCN’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses of internal controls that would require corrective action.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In May 2004 a noteholder converted his $300,000 promissory note into 150,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share.

Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

        On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors of UCN, Inc. terminated the engagement of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC as UCN’s independent accountants on July 22, 2004.

        In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through July 22, 2004, there were no disagreements with Crowe Chizek and Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.

        The audit reports of Crowe Chizek and Company for the two most recent fiscal years, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for the report of Crowe Chizek and Company on the financial statements of UCN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, which contained an explanatory paragraph stating that:

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, deficit cash flows from operations, negative working capital, and has a net capital deficiency. These results as reported in the accompanying financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


        In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through July 22, 2004, there were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

        UCN has requested that Crowe Chizek and Company furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated July 23, 2004 is filed as Exhibit 16 to this report.

        UCN engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its new independent accountants as of July 22, 2004. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date hereof, neither UCN nor any one on behalf of UCN has consulted with Deloitte & Touche regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on UCN’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events required to be disclosed under Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
