NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED
(in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)
     The consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2009 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Annual Report of Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Synchronoss”) included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Synchronoss Technologies UK Ltd., Wisor Telecom Corporation (“Wisor”) and Wisor Telecom India Private Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no unconsolidated subsidiaries or investments accounted for under the equity method. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     Staff Position No. 115-2, Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 124-2 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-20-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-2). FSP 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition of an Other Than Temporary Impairment and provides new disclosure requirements. The recognition and presentation provisions apply only to debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held to maturity.
     Proposed Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments; an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No 107 (FSP 107-1).

No. 107), to interim financial statements of publicly traded companies. Statement No. 107 requires disclosures of the fair value of all financial instruments (recognized or unrecognized), when practicable to do so. These fair value disclosures must be presented together with the carrying amount of the financial instruments in a manner that clearly distinguishes between assets and liabilities and indicates how the carrying amounts relate to amounts reported on the balance sheet. An entity must also disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.
     FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 amends FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability.
     Each of the accounting pronouncements listed above is effective after June 15, 2009. The Company is in the process of reviewing the impact of each of the accounting pronouncements listed above but does not expect the adoption of these accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

7. Stockholders’ Equity
     Stock Options
     The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:
                 
    Three Months Ended 31,
    2009   2008
Expected stock price volatility
    62.96 %     72.40 %
Risk-free interest rate
    1.69 %     3.47 %
Expected life of options (in years)
    4.07       4.04  
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
     The weighted-average fair value (as of the date of grant) of the options granted was $4.94 and $15.91 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million ($1.4 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share), which includes both intrinsic value for equity awards issued prior to 2006 and fair value for equity awards issued after January 1, 2006. The total stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards not yet recognized as an expense as of March 31, 2009 was approximately $12.8 million. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years.

     Treasury Stock
     In 2008, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up to $25.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The duration of the repurchase program was up to twelve months. Under the program, the Company was entitled to purchase shares of its common stock in the open market, through block trades or otherwise at prices deemed appropriate by the Company. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions under the program were dependent on market conditions and corporate and regulatory considerations. A total of 2.0 million shares were repurchased under the program for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23.7 million. The purchases were funded from available working capital. The Company classifies common stock repurchased as treasury stock on its balance sheet.
8. Lease Accounting
     In May 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to lease space for its Pennsylvania offices and data center in a newly constructed facility. The lease has a term of 10 years and 5 months with an option to extend the term of the lease for two consecutive five year periods. In August 2008, the Company amended its lease whereby the Company agreed to reimburse the landlord for certain leasehold improvements the Company had requested. These improvements were under construction at March 31, 2009. Since the tenant improvements, under the lease amendment, are considered structural in nature and the Company is primarily responsible for reimbursement to the landlord for the cost of these improvements, for accounting purposes, under EITF Issue No. 97-10 “The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction” (“EITF 97-10”), the Company is considered to be the owner of the construction project. In accordance with EITF 97-10, the Company recorded assets on its balance sheet for all of the costs paid by the lessor to construct the Pennsylvania facility through March 31, 2009, along with corresponding financing liabilities for amounts equal to these lessor-paid construction costs through March 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the lease accounting post the construction period. The amount of construction costs funded by the landlord and capitalized on the Company’s balance sheet, with an offsetting amount recorded as financing liabilities, did not impact the Company’s cash flows.
9. Legal Matters
     On September 5, 2008, September 18, 2008, and September 23, 2008, three complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between February 4, 2008 and June 9, 2008 (the “Securities Law Actions”). The complaints were consolidated and an amended complaint was filed by the plaintiffs on March 13, 2009. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss all of the claims under the complaint on April 24, 2009. The plaintiffs in each complaint assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They allege that certain of the Company’s public disclosures regarding its financial prospects during the proposed class period were false and/or misleading. The principal allegation set forth in each complaint is that the Company issued misleading statements concerning its business prospects relating to the activation of Apple Inc.’s iPhone product. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs, fees, and other relief within the Court’s discretion. The Company believes that the claims described above are without merit, and it intends to defend against all of the claims vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the actions at this time, and it can give no assurance that these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     On October 23, 2008 and November 3, 2008, complaints were filed in the state court of New Jersey and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against certain of our officers and directors, purportedly derivatively on behalf of the Company (the “Derivative Suits”). The Complaints in the Derivative Suits assert that the named officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and other obligations in connection with the disclosures that also are the subject of the Securities Law Actions described above. The Company is also named as a nominal defendant in the Derivative Suits, although the lawsuits are derivative in nature and purportedly asserted on the Company’s behalf. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs, fees, and other relief within the Court’s discretion. The plaintiffs in the Derivative Suits have agreed to stay their claims pending the court’s decision in the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss in the Securities Laws Actions. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Derivative Suits at this time, and we can give no assurance that the claims in these complaints will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the information set forth in our consolidated financial statements and related accompanying consolidated notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management as of the date hereof based on information currently available to our management. Use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “should, “continues,” “likely” or similar expressions, indicate a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We caution investors not to place substantial reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report. These statements speak only as of the date of this report (unless another date is indicated), and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the statements in light of future developments. All numbers are expressed in thousands unless otherwise stated.
Overview
     We are a leading provider of on-demand transaction management platforms that enable communications service providers (CSPs) and equipment manufacturers with embedded connectivity (i.e., handsets, mobile internet devices, laptops, cameras, etc.) (EMECs) and other customers to automate subscriber activation, order management and service provisioning from any channel (e.g., e-commerce, telesales, customer stores and other retail outlets, etc.) to any communication service (e.g., wireless, high speed access, local access, Internet Protocol TV, cable, satellite TV, etc.) across any device type. Our business model enables delivery of our proprietary solutions over the Web as a service. Our ConvergenceNow ® platforms (including ConvergenceNow ® Plus + and InterconnectNow TM ) provide seamless integration between customer-facing channels/applications, communication services, devices and “back-office” infrastructure-related systems and processes. Our customers rely on our Web-based solutions and technology to automate the process of activating customers while delivering additional communications services including new service offerings and ongoing customer care. Our ConvergenceNow® platforms are designed to be flexible to enable multiple converged communication services to be managed across multiple distribution channels including e-commerce, telesales, customer stores and other retail outlets, allowing us to meet the rapidly changing and converging services offered by our customers. By simplifying the processes associated with managing our customers’ subscribers’ experience for ordering and activating services through the automation and integration of their disparate systems, we enable our customers to acquire, retain and service subscribers quickly, reliably and cost-effectively.
     Our industry-leading customers include AT&T Inc., British Telecom, Cablevision, Charter Communications, Clearwire, Comcast, Cox Communications, Embarq, Fairpoint, Frontier, Global Crossing, Level 3 Communications, RaySat Broadcasting Corporation, Sprint Nextel, Time Warner Cable, Time Warner Telecom, Verizon Business Solutions, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Vonage Network, and XO Communications. These customers utilize a combination of our platforms, technology and services enabling them to provide services to both their consumer and business customers, including over 300 of the Fortune 500 companies.
     Revenues
     We generate a substantial portion of our revenues on a per-transaction basis, most of which is derived from contracts that extend up to 48 months from execution. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we derived approximately 85% of our revenues from transactions processed. Most of the remainder of our revenues were generated by professional services.
     Historically, our revenues are directly impacted by the number of transactions processed. In recent years, the fourth quarter has had the highest volume of transactions processed due to increased consumer activation activity during the holiday season. The future success of our business depends on the continued growth of consumer and business transactions and, as such, the volume of transactions that we process could fluctuate on a quarterly basis. See “Current Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations” for certain matters regarding future results of operations.
     We currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from one customer, AT&T. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, AT&T accounted for approximately 63% of our revenues, compared to 72% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our five largest customers, AT&T, Cablevision, Level 3 Communications, Time Warner Cable and Vonage, accounted for approximately 84%

10


 

of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 93% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008. See “Risk Factors” for certain matters bearing risks on our future results of operations.
     Costs and Expenses
     Our costs and expenses consist of cost of services, research and development, selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization.
     Cost of services includes all direct materials, direct labor, cost of facilities and those indirect costs related to revenues such as indirect labor, materials and supplies. Our primary cost of services is related to our information technology and systems department, including network costs, data center maintenance, database management and data processing costs, as well as personnel costs associated with service implementation, customer deployment and customer care. Also included in cost of services are costs associated with our exception handling centers and the maintenance of those centers. Currently, we utilize a combination of employees and third-party providers to process transactions through these centers.
     Research and development costs have been expensed as incurred. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense consists primarily of costs related to personnel, including salaries and other personnel-related expenses, consulting fees and the cost of facilities, computer and support services used in service technology development. We also expense costs relating to developing modifications and minor enhancements of our existing technology and services.
     Selling expense consists of personnel costs including salaries, sales commissions, sales operations and other personnel-related expense, travel and related expense, trade shows, costs of communications equipment and support services, facilities costs, consulting fees and costs of marketing programs, such as Internet and print. General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expense for our executive, administrative, legal, finance and human resources functions, facilities, professional services fees, certain audit, tax and bad debt expense.
     Depreciation and amortization relates to our property and equipment and includes our network infrastructure and facilities. Amortization relates to the customer lists and technology acquired from Wisor in 2008.
Current Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
     Our on-demand business model enables delivery of our proprietary solutions over the Web as a service and has been driven by market trends such as various forms of order provisioning, local number portability, the implementation of new technologies, subscriber growth, competitive churn, network changes, growth of the emerging device market (i.e., smartphone devices, netbooks, etc.) and consolidations in the industry. In particular, the emergence of order provisioning of e-commerce transactions for smartphone devices, wireless, VoIP, LNP, and other communication services surrounding the convergence of bundled services has increased the need for our services and we believe will continue to be a source of growth for us.
     In the second quarter of 2008, we were informed by AT&T that they would be changing their process of activating the iPhone product from a process that utilized our ConvergenceNow ® platform to an activation process that occurs at retail stores. This change in process requires customers to activate the iPhone at AT&T or Apple stores to discourage the practice of “unlocking” the device for use on other networks. This activation process is a service that is currently not supported by Synchronoss for AT&T at retail stores. As a result of this development, our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 were lower, compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, respectively. Nevertheless, we exited 2008 with an iPhone revenue contribution rate in excess of $10 million annually. We have taken the iPhone activation process and have further enhanced the process to support embedded communication devices such as smartphones, mobile internet devices, laptops, and wirelessly enabled consumer electronics such as digital cameras and global positioning systems.
     To support the growth driven by the industry trends mentioned above, we continue to look for opportunities to improve our operating efficiencies, such as the utilization of offshore technical and non-technical resources for our exception handling center management. We believe that these opportunities will continue to provide future benefits and position us to support revenue growth.

11


 

In addition, we anticipate further automation of the transactions generated by our more mature customers and additional transaction types. These development efforts are expected to reduce exception handling costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to utilize accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a fiscal period. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and if it requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. We have discussed the selection and development of the critical accounting policies with the audit committee of our board of directors, and the audit committee has reviewed our related disclosures in this Form 10-Q. Although we believe that our judgments and estimates are appropriate, correct and reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from those estimates.
     We believe the following to be our critical accounting policies and estimates because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require critical management judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected. See “Risk Factors” for certain matters bearing risks on our future results of operations.

     Net Revenue. Net revenues increased $443 to $29.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due primarily to increased revenues from customers outside our AT&T relationship offset by decreased revenues from AT&T. Net revenues related to AT&T decreased $2.5 million to $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. This decline was primarily due to decreased revenues associated with the activation of iPhones on AT&T’s network. AT&T represented 63% and 72% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net revenues outside of AT&T generated $11.0 million of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Net revenues outside of AT&T represented 37% and 28% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Transaction revenues recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 represented 85% for both periods or $25.0 million and $24.8 million of net revenues, respectively. Professional service revenues remained the same as a percentage of sales at 14% for both periods or $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
     Expense
     Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $1.8 million to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, due primarily to an increase of $1.6 million in personnel and related costs and third party consulting service costs. The increase in personnel and related costs was due primarily to an increase in headcount. In addition, stock-based compensation cost increased $130. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to 51.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 46.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
     Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $694 to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, due to the addition of our Indian subsidiary and its employees offset by reduced use of outside consultants. Research and development expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

14


 

     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $802 to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 20.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 18.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 due to an increase in personnel and related costs, stock-based compensation expense of $447 and increased external tax advisory and legal fees of $322. The increase in personnel and related costs was primarily due to an increase in headcount.
     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $375 to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, due to continued growth in the invested value of our infrastructure and amortization of intangibles related to the Wisor acquisition of $93. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 6.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 5.0% for the same period in 2008.
     Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $3.2 million to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Income from operations decreased as a percentage of revenues to 11.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 22.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to increased overall headcount and related employee expenses.
     Interest Income. Interest income decreased $658 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest income was due to lower cash balances and lower interest rates as of March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.
     Income Tax. Our effective tax rate was approximately 39.4% and approximately 41.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our effective tax rate was lower this quarter due to the utilization of research and development tax credits associated with the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which was enacted in October 2008. The decrease also related to the extension of the Indian tax holiday through March 31, 2010. We acquired our Indian subsidiary in September 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recognized approximately $1.4 million and $3.1 million in related tax expense, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Our principal source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance was $74.4 million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $4.4 million as compared to the end of 2008. This decrease was due to purchases of fixed assets associated with our new facility in Pennsylvania and decreased cash provided by operations. We anticipate that our principal uses of cash in the future will be to fund the expansion of our business through both organic growth as well as possible acquisition activities and to expand our customer base internationally. Uses of cash will also include facility expansion, capital expenditures and working capital.
     In May 2008, we entered into an agreement to lease space for our Pennsylvania offices and data center in a newly constructed facility. The lease has a term of 10 years and 5 months with an option to extend the term of the lease for two consecutive five year periods. In August 2008, we amended the lease whereby we agreed to reimburse the landlord for certain leasehold improvements we had requested. These improvements were under construction at March 31, 2009. Since the tenant improvements, under the lease amendment, are considered structural in nature and we are primarily responsible for reimbursement to the landlord for the cost of these improvements, for accounting purposes, under EITF Issue No. 97-10 “The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction” (“EITF 97-10”), we are considered to be the owner of the construction project. In accordance with EITF 97-10, we recorded assets on our balance sheet for all of the costs paid by the lessor to construct the Pennsylvania facility through March 31, 2009, along with corresponding financing liabilities for amounts equal to these lessor-paid construction costs through March 31, 2009. We are currently evaluating the lease accounting post the construction period. The amount of construction costs funded by the landlord and capitalized on our balance sheet, with an offsetting amount recorded as financing liabilities, did not impact our cash flows.
Discussion of Cash Flows
     Cash flows from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1.4 million compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $3.8 million is primarily due to a

15


 

decrease in income from lower margins and an increase in accounts receivable of $3.0 million offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.0 million and $709, respectively.
     Cash flows from investing. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $5.6 million compared to cash provided of $982 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to fixed asset purchases associated with the move to our new facility in Pennsylvania.
     Cash flows from financing. Net cash provided in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $14 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The difference of $1.2 million was due to decreased net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercise of stock options.
     We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
Effect of Inflation
     Although inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and equipment, we do not believe that inflation has had any material effect on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     Staff Position No. 115-2, FAS 124-2 and EITF 99-20-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2). FSP 115-2. FSP 115-2 provides new guidance on the recognition of an Other Than Temporary Impairment and provides new disclosure requirements. The recognition and presentation provisions apply only to debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held to maturity.
     Proposed Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments; an amendment of FASB Statement No 107 (FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 extends the disclosure requirements to FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Statement No. 107), to interim financial statements of publicly traded companies. Statement No. 107 requires disclosures of the fair value of all financial instruments (recognized or unrecognized), when practicable to do so. These fair value disclosures must be presented together with the carrying amount of the financial instruments in a manner that clearly distinguishes between assets and liabilities and indicates how the carrying amounts relate to amounts reported on the balance sheet. An entity must also disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.
     FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 amends FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, to provide additional guidance on estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability.
     Each of the accounting pronouncements listed above is effective after June 15, 2009. We are in the process of reviewing the impact of each of the accounting pronouncements listed above and do not expect the adoption of these accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk

16


 

     The following discussion about market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We deposit our excess cash in high-quality financial instruments, primarily money market funds and, we may be exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates. We do not actively manage the risk of interest rate fluctuations on our marketable securities; however, such risk is mitigated by the relatively short-term nature of these investments. These investments are denominated in United States dollars.
     The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations, while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. To achieve these objectives, our investment policy allows us to maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and short and long-term investments in a variety of securities, which could include commercial paper, money market funds and corporate debt securities. Our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were invested in liquid money market accounts. All market-risk sensitive instruments were entered into for non-trading purposes. We do not expect the current rate of inflation to have a material impact on our business.
     The recent severe tightening of the credit markets, disruptions in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions have adversely affected the United States and world economies. Investors in many industry sectors have experienced substantial decreases in asset valuations and uncertain market liquidity. Furthermore, credit rating authorities have, in many cases, been slow to respond to the rapid changes in the underlying value of certain securities and pervasive market illiquidity, regarding these securities.
     As a result, this “credit crisis” may have a potential impact on the determination of the fair value of financial instruments or possibly require impairments in the future should the value of certain investments suffer a decline in value which is determined to be other than temporary. We currently do not believe any change in the market value of our money market funds or other investments to be material or warrant a change in valuation.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2009, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
     Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 that was conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
     Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
     Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our operations have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override

17


 

of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     On September 5, 2008, September 18, 2008, and September 23, 2008, three complaints were filed against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey purportedly on behalf of a class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between February 4, 2008 and June 9, 2008 (the “Securities Law Actions”). The complaints were consolidated and an amended complaint was filed by the plaintiffs on March 13, 2009. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss all of the claims under the complaint on April 24, 2009. The plaintiffs in each complaint assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They allege that certain of the Company’s public disclosures regarding its financial prospects during the proposed class period were false and/or misleading. The principal allegation set forth in each complaint is that the Company issued misleading statements concerning its business prospects relating to the activation of Apple Inc.’s iPhone product. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs, fees, and other relief within the Court’s discretion. The Company believes that the claims described above are without merit, and it intends to defend against all of the claims vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the actions at this time, and it can give no assurance that these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
     On October 23, 2008 and November 3, 2008, complaints were filed in the state court of New Jersey and the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against certain of our officers and directors, purportedly derivatively on behalf of the Company (the “Derivative Suits”). The Complaints in the Derivative Suits assert that the named officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and other obligations in connection with the disclosures that also are the subject of the Securities Law Actions described above. The Company is also named as a nominal defendant in the Derivative Suits, although the lawsuits are derivative in nature and purportedly asserted on the Company’s behalf. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs, fees, and other relief within the Court’s discretion. We are in the process of evaluating the claims in the Derivative Suits. The plaintiffs in the Derivative Suits have agreed to stay their claims pending the court’s decision in the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss in the Securities Laws Actions. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of the Derivative Suits at this time, and we can give no assurance that the claims in these complaints will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
     Except for the above claims, the Company is not currently subject to any legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on its operations; however, the Company may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose part or all of their investment.

     Use of Proceeds
     On June 14, 2006, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-132080) relating to the IPO was declared effective by the SEC. The managing underwriters of our IPO were Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC. On June 20, 2006, we closed the sale of 6,532,107 shares of common stock in our IPO for net proceeds to us of $45.7 million. In July 2006, we sold an additional 959,908 shares of common stock upon the exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters for net proceeds to us of $7.1 million. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers or persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates. We have invested our net proceeds of the offering in money market funds and certificates of deposit pending their use to fund our expansion. Part of our current growth strategy is to further penetrate the North American markets and expand our customer base internationally. We anticipate that a portion of the proceeds of the offering will enable us to finance this expansion. In addition, we could use a portion of the proceeds of our IPO to make strategic investments in, or pursue acquisitions of, other businesses, products or technologies.

Appendix Z — Vendor Expense Policy
1.0 General
The AT&T Vendor Expense Policy (VEP) provides guidelines to be followed by all vendors of AT&T in requesting reimbursement for business travel, meals and other business related expense. Expenses outside this policy are not reimbursable.
The following principles apply to requests for expense reimbursement:
When spending money that is to be reimbursed, vendors must ensure that an AT&T Company (“Company”) receives proper value in return.
The concept that a vendor and their employees are ‘entitled’ to certain types or amounts of expenditures while conducting business with the Company is erroneous. Personal expenditures reported for reimbursement should be billed exactly as they were incurred. The use of averages for any type expenditure or combination of expenditures is not permitted except as specifically provided or documented in a contract.
Every vendor and AT&T employee who certifies or approves the correctness of any voucher or bill should have reasonable knowledge the expense and amounts are proper and reasonable. In the absence of the adoption of such policy, or existing contractual agreements, these guidelines are considered the minimum requirements for requesting reimbursement of Company funds.
Receipts will be requested and reviewed for any unusual or out of the ordinary expenses or where the approver cannot make a reasonable determination of the propriety of the invoice without a receipt.
The origination of a given expenditure for business purposes is the responsibility of the vendor incurring the expense and the authorization of that expense is the responsibility of the appropriate level of AT&T management in accordance with the Schedule of Authorizations for Affiliates of AT&T Inc.

2.0 Responsibilities
     2.1 Vendor’s Responsibility
AT&T’s sponsoring managers will ensure that vendors have been covered on this policy prior to incurring any expenditure. Vendors and their sponsoring AT&T managers are responsible for clarifying any questions or uncertainties they may have relative to reimbursable business expenses.
It is mandatory that financial transactions are recorded in a timely manner. Out-of-pocket business expense(s) for vendors that are not submitted for reimbursement within 90 calendar days from the date incurred are considered non-reimbursable. Company managers who are responsible for approving reimbursable expenses of vendors should ensure they are submitted and approved in a timely manner.
3.0 Travel Policy
Vendors must first consider the feasibility of using videoconferencing or teleconferencing as an alternative to travel. Travel that is to be reimbursed by AT&T should be incurred only as necessary and pre-approved by AT&T (unless otherwise authorized in the agreement).
AT&T reserves the right to dispute any expense submittal and if not verifiable as valid may reject reimbursement. Reimbursements will be made to vendor only after expenses are verified as valid.
     3.1 Travel Authorization
Travel requiring overnight stays must be pre-approved by the sponsoring AT&T Senior Manager (5th Level or above) and should be approved only if it is necessary for the vendor to travel to perform required work.

    Vendors who stay with friends or relatives or other vendor employees while on a Company business trip will NOT be reimbursed for lodging, nor will they be reimbursed for expenditures made to reciprocate their hospitality by buying groceries, being host at a restaurant, etc.
The expense must be ordinary and necessary, not lavish or extravagant, in the judgment of the AT&T sponsoring management. Any reimbursement request must be for actual expenditures only.
     3.4 Air Travel Arrangements
Vendors must select lowest logical airfare (fares available in the market at the time of booking, preferably well in advance of trip to attain lowest possible airfare). Vendors shall book coach class fares for all travel at all times. First class bookings are not reimbursable. Vendors can request business class when a single segment of flight time (“in air time” excluding stops, layovers and ground time) is greater than 8 hours providing the relevant manager pre-approves.
     3.5 Hotel Arrangements
AT&T has established Market-Based Room Rate Guidelines for vendors to reference when making hotel reservations in the United States (see Addendum A). U.S. vendors traveling outside the U.S. should reference the GSA, Government Per Diem as a guide: http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp. Non-US vendors may use these dollar per diems as a guide, but any locally specified per diems will take precedence. Vendors are expected to abide by these guidelines when making hotel arrangements or use specified AT&T preferred hotels/maximum location rates or reasonably priced hotels outside of the U.S... The AT&T supplier manager can advise which hotel/max rate to use if there is a hotel in the location concerned. AT&T will only reimburse vendors up to the established room rate guideline/AT&T preferred hotel rate in each market, or for actual hotel lodging charges incurred, whichever is less.

SG021306.A.001
There must be a strong business justification for incurring any cost for internet access, and a request for reimbursement must be accompanied by a detailed explanation regarding reason for charge.
Note: Vendors must indicate the number of room nights on the transaction line when invoicing for reimbursement of hotel expenses. Copies of all hotel bills must be made available for any invoice containing lodging charges.
     3.6 Ground Transportation
While away from their home location overnight, vendors are expected to utilize rapid transit or local shuttle service. If the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle, vendors are to use this service before paying for transportation. If complimentary service is not provided a taxi or other local transportation is reimbursable as a business expense. Tips provided to taxi drivers cannot exceed 15% of the value of the total fare
A rental car is appropriate when the anticipated business cost is less than that of other available public transportation. Except to the extent necessary to accommodate several travelers and/or luggage requirements, vendors will not be reimbursed for automobile rentals other than economy or mid-sized/intermediate models.
“Loss Damage Waiver” and “Extended Liability Coverage” are not considered reimbursable in the US. Prepaid fuel or refueling charges at the time of return are not reimbursable.
Rental cars should be refueled before returning to the rental company, since gas purchased through the rental company carries an expensive refueling service charge.
     3.7 Use of Personal Vehicle
When use of personal vehicle is required, the current locally approved mileage rate for miles driven for the business portion of the trip should be the maximum used to determine the amount to be reimbursed.
     3.8 Parking
If airport parking is necessary, vendors must use long term parking facilities. Additional costs for short term, valet or covered parking are not reimbursable.
     3.9 Entertainment
Entertainment expense is not reimbursable to vendors. Entertainment includes meal expense involving AT&T personnel, golf fees, tickets to events and related incidental expenses. Hotel charges for a pay-per-view movie, individual sightseeing tours, or other individual activities (i.e., golf, sporting event, movie, etc.) are not reimbursable.

    The actual cost of landline telephone calls for AT&T business is reimbursable. The use of AT&T products is required when available.
 
    AT&T will not reimburse vendors for cell phone bills unless approved under the contract. With prior consent of the sponsoring AT&T Senior Manager, only individual calls that exceed a vendor’s rate plan that are necessary to conduct business for AT&T may be reimbursed.
 
    Charges for high speed internet access are not reimbursable unless specifically approved in the contract.
     3.12 Business Meals (Travel and Non-Travel)
Vendors are expected to find reasonably priced dining alternatives. As a general rule, vendors are expected to spend USD $42.00 or less per day (or local currency equivalent) inclusive of tax and gratuity or to abide by the legally specified per diem applicable in the Vendor’s country. This includes all meals, beverages and refreshments purchased during the day. Requests for reimbursement should break out the amount for meals and list the related number of travel days. If breakfast is offered as part of the hotel accommodation rate, no additional reimbursement will be permitted for breakfast. Vendors may not submit expenses to cover meals or expenses for an AT&T employee, whether in a home location or on official travel.
AT&T managers authorizing invoices will be held accountable for ensuring that vendors are following this policy and are spending Company funds economically.
     3.13 Flowers, Greeting Cards, Gifts and Incentive Awards
The cost of gifts, flowers, birthday lunches, or greeting cards is considered a personal expense and is not reimbursable. For example, vendors making a donation or providing a gift for a fund-raiser for AT&T may not submit such an expense to AT&T for reimbursement.
     3.14 Loss or Damage to Personal Property

Addendum A — AT&T U.S. 2008 Hotel Room Rate Only Guidelines
This Chart applies to the U.S. locations. For Travel outside of the U.S., travelers should exercise prudent judgment and select reasonably priced hotels, based on local market conditions. Employees traveling out-side the U.S. should reference the GSA, Government Per Diems as a guide http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp U.S. Cities not listed on this Hotel Room Rate Only Guideline Matrix, default to $110.00 nightly rate. On occasion an AT&T Preferred Property may exceed the rate guideline for a particular city, but has been added due to tight supply within the market. However, an alternate Preferred Property within the guideline will be offered and should be accepted when available.

3.0   Pricing Assumptions
  1.   STI and AT&T will meet once every *** to review and adjust the Manual Processing prices where appropriate.
 
  2.   In the event that the time studies reveal a material change in Manual Processing costs, greater than ***%, both parties agree to review in detail the core reason for the change. In the event that a change is attributed to performance, then both parties will mutually agree if a change is warranted.
 
  3.   STI anticipates Manually Processing additional Transaction types. The Manual Processing fees for these Transactions could be priced at a different rate. The fee for Manually Processing new Transactions would be determined by the complexity and processing rates associated with the Transaction. Fees for Manually Processing Transactions will be determined after a large enough sample size is processed by the ASP Solution and will be mutually agreed to in writing by both parties. During this period the parties must mutually agree on a price until an amendment to the Contract is completed with mutually agreed upon pricing and associated SLA and remedies.
 
  4.   New Manual Processing not identified in Section 1.0 of this Attachment would be handled through a written change request. New Transactions will require an initial trial period that will produce a large enough sample size to price the fees for Manually Processing these Transactions. Service levels and remedies will not apply during the initial trial period, of a length to be mutually determined by the parties.
 
  5.   STI anticipates the cancelled rate for Manually Processing Transactions not to exceed ***% of total Manual Processing Transaction volume. If the actual number of Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled exceeds ***%, STI will charge AT&T the cancelled rate for the initial Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled and the shipped/successful Manual Processing fee for those Transactions over such ***% threshold.
 
  6.   Any modifications requested by AT&T that impact the configuration or processing methodology by STI may require adjustments to the Manual Processing fees herein. Upon receipt and review of AT&T’s modification request, STI shall inform AT&T of any proposed increase to the fees. AT&T will have the sole option of whether or not to move forward with its requested modification.
4.0   Operations Management Team
As part of the OMC Contract, STI will provide AT&T with Operations Management support. The dedicated team will provide AT&T with the following services:
Program Management:
Responsibilities include project management, business analysis, and functional analysis to support new development, features and functionality. Additional Program Management responsibilities include bringing new clients onto the ASP Solution.
Operations Management:
Responsibilities include credit, activation, and order fulfillment, transaction queue management, service level monitoring and reporting, staffing, IVR management, training, and interacting with B2C and B2B and Care teams to ensure seamless, high quality customer service for eCommerce customers.

3.0   Pricing Assumptions
  1.   STI and AT&T will meet once every *** to review and adjust the Manual Processing transaction prices where appropriate.
 
  2.   In the event that the time studies reveal a material change in Manual Processing costs, greater than ***%, both parties agree to review in detail the core reason for the change. In the event that a change is attributed to performance, then both parties will mutually agree if a change is warranted.
 
  3.   STI anticipates Manually Processing additional Transaction types. The Manual Processing fees for these Transactions could be priced at a different rate. The fee for Manually Processing new Transactions would be determined by the complexity and processing rates associated with the Transaction. Fees for Manually Processing Transaction will be determined after a large enough sample size is processed by the ASP Solution and will be mutually agreed to in writing by both parties. During this period the parties must mutually agree on a price until an amendment to the Contract is completed with mutually agreed upon pricing and associated SLA and remedies.
 
  4.   New Manual Processing not identified in Section 1.0 of this Attachment would be handled through a written change request. New Transactions will require an initial trial period that will produce a large enough sample size to price the fees for Manually Processing these Transactions. Service levels and remedies will not apply during the initial trial period of a length to be mutually determined by the parties.
 
  5.   STI anticipates the cancelled rate for Manually Processing Transactions not to exceed ***% of total Manual Processing Transaction volume. If the actual number of Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled exceeds ***%, STI will charge AT&T the cancelled rate for the initial Manual Processing Transactions that are cancelled and the shipped /successful Manual Processing fee for those Transactions over such ***% threshold
 
  6.   Any modifications requested by AT&T that impact the configuration or processing methodology by STI may require adjustments to the Manual Processing fees herein. Upon receipt and review of AT&T’s modification request, STI shall inform AT&T of any proposed increase to the fees. AT&T will have the sole option of whether or not to move forward with its requested modification.
4.0   Operations Management Team
As part of this OMC Contract, STI will provide AT&T with Operations Management support. The dedicated team will provide AT&T with the following services:
Program Management:
Responsibilities include project management, business analysis, and functional analysis to support new development, features and functionality. Additional Program Management responsibilities include bringing new clients onto the ASP Solution.
Operations Management:
