3. Earnings per Common Share
The Company calculates basic and diluted per share amounts based on net earnings for the
periods presented. The Company uses the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period to calculate basic earnings per share. The weighted average number of common shares used
in the Companys calculation of diluted per share amounts includes the dilutive effects of stock
options and restricted stock awards based on the treasury stock method. The following table
provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net
income attributable to common stockholders per common share. Stock options that are anti-dilutive
and excluded from the following table totaled 1,401 and 1,090 for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively.

5. Fair Value Measurements of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale. The fair value hierarchy
established in the standard prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels
as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Observable inputs quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities; |
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted
prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from
valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and |
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs includes amounts derived from valuation models where
one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant
assumptions. |
The following is a summary of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by
the Company and their related classifications under the fair value hierarchy.

market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions
involving identical or comparable assets. The Companys marketable securities investments
classified as Level 2 primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these
securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the three months ended
March 31, 2010. No transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement
hierarchy occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive (loss) income in stockholders equity. The cost of securities sold is based on
specific identification method. No available for sale securities have been in a continuous
unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer.

The weighted-average fair value (as of the date of grant) of the options granted was $8.87 and
$4.94 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the three
months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of
$2.8 million ($1.9 million after tax or $0.06 per diluted share) which includes fair value for
equity awards issued after January 1, 2006 as compared to $2.0 million ($1.4 million after tax or
$0.04 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2009, 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, 2010 was approximately $17.2 million. That cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.68 years.

8. 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
Companys 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 plaintiffs in each complaint asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They alleged that certain of the Companys public disclosures
regarding its financial prospects during the proposed class period were false and/or misleading.
The principal allegation set forth in each complaint was that the Company issued misleading
statements concerning its business prospects relating to the activation of Apple Inc.s iPhone
product. On April 7, 2010, the Court granted the Companys Motion to Dismiss all of the claims
against all of the defendants without prejudice.
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 the
Companys 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 Companys behalf. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs,
fees, and other relief within the Courts discretion. The plaintiffs in the Derivative Suits have
agreed to stay their claims pending the courts decision in the Defendants Motion to Dismiss in
the Securities Laws Actions. The proceedings in the state court of New Jersey are currently subject
to the stay order in that case, and in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey
Defendants deadline to answer or otherwise respond is currently set for May 7, 2010. Due to the
inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the Derivative
Suits at this time, and the Company 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.
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, it may from time to time
become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
9. Subsequent Events Review
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the filing date. On
April 7, 2010, the Court granted the Companys Motion to Dismiss to dismiss the Securities Laws
Action against all defendants without prejudice, and all claims against all defendants. On April
14, 2010 the Companys shelf registration statement covering the offer and sale of up to $150
million of securities which may include debt securities, warrants, common stock and preferred stock
was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has no immediate
plans or current commitments to sell securities. The terms of any offering under its shelf
registration statement will be determined at the time of the offering and disclosed in a prospectus
supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set
forth in our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our annual report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009. 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), cable operators/ multi-services operators (MSOs), original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with embedded connectivity (e.g. smartphones, laptops, netbooks and
mobile Internet devices, among others), e-Tailers/retailers and other customers to accelerate and
monetize their go-to-market strategies for connected devices. This includes automating subscriber
activation, order management and service provisioning from any channel (e.g., e-commerce,
telesales, customer stores, indirect and other retail outlets, etc.) to any communication service
(e.g., wireless(2G, 3G, 4G), high speed access, local access, IPTV, cable, satellite TV, etc.)
across any connected device type. Our ConvergenceNow®,
ConvergenceNow®
Plus+ and InterconnectNowTM platforms
provide end-to-end seamless integration between customer-facing channels/applications,
communication services, or devices and back-office infrastructure-related systems and processes.
Our customers rely on our cloud-based solutions and technology to automate the process of
activating customers while delivering additional communication services, including new service
offerings and ongoing customer care. Our platforms are designed to be flexible and scalable to
enable multiple converged communication services to be managed across multiple distribution
channels allowing us to meet the rapidly changing and converging services and connected devices
offered by our customers. We enable our customers to acquire, retain and service subscribers
quickly, reliably and cost-effectively by simplifying the processes associated with managing the
customer experience for ordering and activating connected devices and services through the use of
our platforms.
Our industry-leading customers include tier 1 service providers such as AT&T Inc.,
Verizon Wireless and Vodafone, tier 1 cable operators /MSOs like Cablevision, Charter
Communications, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable and large OEMs/e-Tailers such as Apple, Dell and
Nokia. These customers utilize our platforms, technology and services to service both 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 60 months from execution. For the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we derived approximately 81% and 85%, respectively, of our revenues
from transactions processed. In 2010, similar to previous years, most of the remainder of our
revenues was generated by professional services.
Historically, our revenues have been 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.
10
We currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from one customer, AT&T. For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, AT&T accounted for approximately 66% of our revenues, compared
to 63% for the three months ended March 31 2009. Our five largest customers, AT&T, Vonage, Level 3
Communications, Time Warner Cable and Comcast, accounted for approximately 86% of
our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our five largest customers for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, AT&T, Vonage, Level 3 Communications, Time Warner Cable and
Cablevision accounted for approximately 84% of our revenues.
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, depreciation and amortization and interest and other expense.
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 are expensed as incurred unless they meet GAAP criteria
for deferral and amortization. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of
technological feasibility do not meet these criteria, and 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, general and administrative 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.
Interest and other expense consists of interest on our lease financing obligations and other
non-operating expenses.
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.
To support the growth driven by the favorable 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. In addition, we anticipate further automation of the transactions generated
by our more mature customers and additional transaction types. Our cost of services can fluctuate
from period to period based upon the level of automation and the on-boarding of new transaction
types.
11
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 companys
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 that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, the following accounting policies
involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we
believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations. 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.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a more complete discussion of our critical
accounting policies and estimates.

Net Revenue. Net revenues increased $5.5 million to $35.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2010, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was due primarily
to increased revenues from our AT&T relationship. Net revenues related to AT&T increased $4.7
million to $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in
2009. AT&T represented 66% and 63% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively. Net revenues outside of AT&T generated $11.8 million of our revenues during
the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $11.0 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2009. Net revenues outside of AT&T represented 34% and 37% of our revenues during the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Transaction revenues recognized for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 represented 81% or $28.3 million and 85% or $25.0
million of net revenues, respectively. Professional service revenues increased as a percentage of
sales to 18% or $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 14% or $4.3
million for the previous three months ended March 31, 2009.
Expense
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $2.4 million to $17.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, due primarily to an increase of
$974 thousand in personnel and related costs and an increase of $381 thousand in stock-based
compensation. The increase in personnel and related costs and stock-based compensation was due
primarily to an increase in headcount. In addition, there was an increase of $375 thousand in
telecommunication and facility costs related to the increased capacity associated with our data
facilities. There was an increase of $638 thousand for outside consultants related to growth in
programs with existing customers. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 50.3%
for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 51.4% for the three months ended March 31,
2009.
Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $1.2 million to $4.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, due
primarily to an increase of $402 thousand in personnel and related costs and an increase of $213
thousand in stock-based compensation. The increase in personnel and related costs and stock-based
compensation was due to increased head count. In addition there was an increase of $345 thousand in
consulting costs related to new projects with existing customers needed to facilitate the growth in
our programs with existing customers. Research and development
expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 12.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as
compared to 10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased
$408 thousand to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same
period in 2009 due to an increase in personnel and related costs of $174 thousand and stock-based
compensation expense of $248 thousand, consulting costs of $191 thousand and marketing costs of
$161 thousand offset by a decrease in professional services of $342 thousand. The increase in
personnel and related and stock-based compensation costs was primarily due to an increase in
headcount. The consulting and marketing costs increases relate to our expanded business
development and marketing activities. The decrease in professional services relates to a reduction
in accounting and legal fees. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 20.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in percentage was a result of a higher revenue base
as compared to the same period in 2009.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $155 thousand
to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009,
related to investments in the new facility and the amortization of intangibles related to the Wisor
acquisition of $253 thousand. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 5.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 6.2% for the same
period in 2009. The decrease in percentage was a result of a higher revenue base as compared to
the same period in 2009.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $1.3 million to $4.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This increase was due
primarily to increased revenues from our AT&T relationship. Income from operations increased as a
percentage of revenues to 13.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 11.3% for
the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income decreased $88 thousand to $111 thousand
for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. Interest and other
income decreased primarily due to lower effective interest rates on our investments.
Interest and other expense. Interest expense and other expense increased $223 thousand to
$274 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009.
Interest and other expense increased primarily due to the lease financing obligation related to our
Pennsylvania facility that began in April 2009. During three months ended March 31, 2009 we
recognized no interest expense related to the facility lease.
13
Income Tax. Our effective tax rate was approximately 39.3% and approximately 39.4% during the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We review the expected annual effective
income tax rate and make changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as
changes in forecasted annual operating income, changes to the actual and forecasted permanent
book-to-tax differences, or changes resulting from the impact of a tax law change. During the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we recognized approximately $1.8 million and $1.4 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 $103 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of
$5.3 million as compared to the end of 2009. This increase was due to cash provided by operations
and the exercise of stock options, offset by acquisitions of fixed assets associated with our
facilities. 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 the expansion of our customer base internationally. Uses of cash will also include facility
expansion, capital expenditures and working capital.
Discussion of Cash Flows
Cash flows from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 was $4.3 million, as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2009. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel related expenditures
and outside consultants. We also make cash payments related to taxes and leased facilities. The
increase of $3.0 million is primarily due to the increase in working capital and net income as
compared to 2009. The cash provided by working capital included a $1.6 million increase in our
deferred revenue balance primarily related to the timing of recognition of maintenance and
configuration revenues over the applicable term of these agreements, a $2.7 million decrease in our
accounts receivable balance as our collection of customer accounts more than offset the increase in
customer sales and partially offset a $2.4 million decrease in our accounts payable and accrued
expenses. Additionally net income increased to $2.7 million, as compared to 2009, which included
non-cash charges of $2.0 million for depreciation and amortization, and $2.8 million related to
stock-based compensation.
Cash flows from investing. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 was $3.3 million, as compared to $5.6 million for the three months March 31, 2009.
The primary use of cash was $3.1 million used to purchase marketable securities and $531 thousand
used to purchase property and equipment primarily related to our continued investments in our
global information technology and business system infrastructure. The decrease in cash used in
investing of $2.2 million was primarily due to the completion of our data facilities in 2009 offset
by an increase in our outflows for the purchase of marketable securities in the three months ended
March 31, 2010.
Cash flows from financing. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 was $1.5 million, as compared to $14 thousand for the three months ended March
31, 2009. The increase was due to the increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options
offset by payments on our capital obligation related to our data facility in the three months ended
March 31, 2010.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from our existing
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, 2010 and 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market Risk
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider
the factors discussed in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which could
materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. We believe our exposure
associated with these market risks has not changed materially since December 31, 2009.

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, 2010. 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, 2010, 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 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.

ITEM 1. |

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On September 5, 2008, September 18, 2008, and September 23, 2008, three complaints were filed
against us and certain of our 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 our 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 plaintiffs
in each complaint asserted claims
under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They alleged that
certain of our public disclosures regarding our financial prospects during the proposed class
period were false and/or misleading. The principal allegation set forth in each complaint was that
we issued misleading statements concerning our business prospects relating to the activation of
Apple Inc.s iPhone product. On April 7, 2010, the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss all of the
complaints against all of the defendants without prejudice.
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 our behalf (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. We are also named as a nominal defendant in the
Derivative Suits, although the lawsuits are derivative in nature and purportedly asserted on our
behalf. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, costs, fees, and other relief within the Courts
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 courts decision in the
Defendants Motion to Dismiss in the Securities Laws Actions. The proceedings in the state court of
New Jersey are currently subject to the stay order in that case, and in the U.S. District Court for
the District of New Jersey Defendants deadline to answer or otherwise respond is currently set for
May 7, 2010. 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, we are not currently subject to any legal proceedings that
could have a material adverse effect on our operations; however, we may from time to time become a
party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.
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, 2009, 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.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
None.
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 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.
