NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)
The financial statements at March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
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 financial statements and notes in our Annual Report incorporated by reference in Form 10-K
for calendar year 2007. The results reported in these 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, 2007 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.
1. Description of Business
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the Company or Synchronoss) is a leading provider of
on-demand multi-channel transaction management platforms that enable communication service
providers (CSPs) to automate new subscriber activation, order management and service provisioning.
The Company conducts its business operations primarily in the United States of America, with some
aspects of its operations being outsourced to entities located in India and Canada. The
ActivationNow® and ConvergenceNow® platforms provide seamless integration
between customer-facing applications and back-office or infrastructure-related systems and
processes. The Companys CSP customers rely on our internet based technology to automate the
process of activating customers and to deliver additional communications services including new
service offerings and ongoing customer care. Synchronoss has designed its platforms to be flexible
to enable multiple communication services including wireless, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP),
wireline and cable to be managed through multiple distribution channels including e-commerce, CSP
stores and other retail outlets, etc., allowing the Company to meet the rapidly changing and
converging services offered by CSPs. By simplifying the processes associated with managing the
customer experience for ordering and activating services through the automation and integration of
disparate systems, Synchronoss enables CSPs to acquire, retain and service customers quickly,
reliably and cost-effectively. The Company enables service providers to drive growth in new and
existing markets while delivering an improved customer experience at lower costs.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurement (Statement 157).
Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the
sources to be used to estimate fair value. Statement 157 also expands financial statement
disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 6, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) FAS 157-2 Effective Date of Statement
No. 157 which delays the effective date of Statement 157 for one year for all nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
Statement 157 and FSP FAS 157-2 are
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company has elected a partial deferral of Statement 157 under the
provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 related to
the measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets and other
long-lived assets for impairment and valuing asset retirement obligations and liabilities for exit
or disposal activities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on
January 1, 2008.
Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the
inputs to be used to estimate fair value. The three levels of inputs used are as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or
other means.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
In
accordance with FAS 157, included within our cash and cash equivalents
are $86.6 million of money market funds that are classified as
Level 1 financial assets.
In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 110 ( SAB 110 ). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14,
Share-Based Payment . SAB 110 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the
simplified method in developing an estimate of expected term of plain vanilla share options in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share Based Payment. The use of the simplified
method was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007. SAB 110 extends the use of the simplified
method for plain vanilla awards in certain situations. The Company currently uses the
simplified method to estimate the expected term for share option grants as it does not have
enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate due to the limited period the
Companys equity shares have been publicly

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)
traded. The Company will continue to use the simplified method until it has enough
historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110.
3. Earnings per Common Share
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per
Share. 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 897 and 0 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

The net unrealized gain/(loss) net of tax was $3 and $4 on March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively.
Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income
in stockholders equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, realized gains and
losses were insignificant. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification method.
Unrealized losses in the Companys portfolio relate primarily to certificates of deposit. For these
securities, the net unrealized losses are due to changes in interest rates and not changes in
credit risk. Realized gains and losses of $6 was recognized in interest income for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
5. Stock Plans
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:

The weighted-average fair value (as of the date of grant) of the options granted during the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $15.91 and $8.38, respectively. During the three
months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of
$1.7 million ($1.2 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, 2008 was approximately $13.3 million. That cost is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.2 years.

6. Subsequent Event-Stock Repurchase Plan
On May 5, 2008, the Companys board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program to
purchase up to $25 million of the Companys outstanding common stock. The duration of the
repurchase program is twelve months. Under the program, the Company may 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 will depend on
market conditions and corporate and regulatory considerations. The purchases will be funded from
available working capital. The Company will classify stock repurchased as treasury stock on its
balance sheet upon commencement of the program. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or
discontinued at any time.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS 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 financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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 multi-channel transaction management platforms that
enable customer service providers (CSPs) to automate new subscriber activation, order management
and service provisioning. Our ActivationNow® and ConvergenceNow® platforms
provide seamless integration between customer-facing applications and back-office or
infrastructure-related systems and processes. Our CSP customers rely on our internet based
technology to automate the process of activating customers and to deliver additional communications
services including new service offerings and ongoing customer care. We have designed our platforms
to be flexible to enable multiple communication services including wireless Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP), wireline and cable to be managed through multiple distribution channels including
e-commerce, CSP stores and other retail outlets, etc., allowing us to meet the rapidly changing and
converging services offered by CSPs. By simplifying the processes associated with managing the
customer experience for ordering and activating services through the automation and integration of
disparate systems, we enable CSPs to acquire, retain and service customers quickly, reliably and
cost-effectively. We enable service providers to drive growth in new and existing markets while
delivering an improved customer experience at lower costs.
Our industry-leading customers include wireline, wireless, VoIP and cable MSO companies
including AT&T Mobility Inc., Sprint Nextel, Embarq, Vonage Holdings, Cablevision Systems
Corporation, Level 3 Communications, Covad, Charter Communications, Verizon Business Solutions,
Clearwire, Time Warner Cable and Comcast. These customers use our platforms and technology and
services to manage 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 48 months from execution. We have increased our revenues
rapidly, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 67% from 2001 to 2007. For the three months
ended March 31, 2008, 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 the
number of consumer activations that occurred 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 sent to us could fluctuate on a quarterly basis.
We currently derive a significant portion of our revenues from one customer, AT&T. For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, AT&T accounted for approximately 72% of our revenues, compared
to 68% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our five largest customers, AT&T, Vonage, Level 3
Communications, Comcast and Cablevision, accounted for approximately 93% of our revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 92% of our revenues for the three months ended March
31, 2007. See Risk Factors for certain matters bearing risks on our future results of
operations.
Costs and Expenses
8
Our costs and expenses consist of cost of services, research and development, selling, general
and administrative and depreciation.
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 relates to our property and equipment and includes our network infrastructure and
facilities.
Current Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
We have experienced increased demand for our services, which 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 and consolidations in the
industry. In particular, the emergence of wireless order provisioning of e-commerce transactions as
well as VoIP, local number portability and the convergence of bundled services has increased the
need for our services and will continue to be a factor contributing to competitive churn. In
addition, the increasing demand for converged services has led to the growth and mainstream
adoption of smart phones.
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. 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 financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of these 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 the following to be our critical accounting policies because they are important to
the portrayal of our financial condition
9
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 $7.8 million to $29.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. Due to increased volumes of
transactions processed, net revenues related to AT&T increased $6.5 million to $21.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. AT&T represented 72%
and 68% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net
revenues outside of the AT&T relationship generated $8.0 million of our revenues during the three
months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $6.7 million last year. Net revenues outside of the
AT&T relationship represented 28% and 32% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Transaction revenues recognized for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 represented 85% or $24.8 million and 81% or $17.3 million of net revenues,
respectively. Professional service revenues decreased as a
10
percentage of sales to 14% or $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared
to 18% or $3.8 million for the previous three months ended March 31, 2008.
Expense
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $3.8 million to $13.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, due primarily to
the growth in personnel costs required to support higher transaction volumes submitted to us by our
customers and increases in telecommunication costs. In particular, personnel and related costs and
third party consulting service costs increased $3.1 million due to the management of exception
handling. Also, additional telecommunication and maintenance expense in our data facilities,
contributed approximately $484 to the increase in cost of services. In addition, stock-based
compensation expense increased $178. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues increased to
46.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 45.2% for the three months ended
March 31, 2007.
Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $490 to $2.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, due to
the continued investment in and further development of the ActivationNow® and
ConvergenceNow® platforms to enhance our service offerings. Research and development
expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as
compared to 9.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased
$2.0 million to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2007, due in part to increases in personnel and related costs totaling $689,
increases in public company expenses of $230, and increases in stock-based compensation expense of
$854. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 18.1%
for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 15.2% for the three months ended March
31, 2007.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense increased $378 to $1.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, due to continued growth in the investment of
our infrastructure. Depreciation expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.0% for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to 5.1% for the same period in 2007.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $1.1 million to $6.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Income from operations
decreased as a percentage of revenues to 22.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as
compared to 25.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary reason for this decrease
was due to incremental stock-based compensation in selling, general and administrative expenses of
$854.
Income Tax. Our effective tax rate was approximately 41.8% and approximately 41.9% during the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2008 and 2007, we recognized approximately $3.1 million and $2.7 million in
related tax expense, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations and by cash provided
from our IPO which was completed on June 20, 2006. The net proceeds from our offering and the
exercise of the over-allotment option by our IPO underwriters were approximately $52.8 million,
which enabled us to strengthen our balance sheet. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities balance was $102.0 million at March 31, 2008, an increase of $6.1 million as compared to
the end of 2007. We anticipate that our principal uses of cash in the future will be to fund the
expansion of our business and to expand our customer base internationally. Uses of cash will
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, 2008 was $5.2 million compared to $3.4 million for the three months March 31, 2007.
The increase of $1.8 million is primarily due to income
11
derived from increased volume from
transactions and a decrease to accounts receivable due to increased collections. This amount is
partially offset by a decrease to accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash flows from investing. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 was $982 compared to net cash used of $3.6 million for the three months March
31, 2007. The increase of $4.6 million was primarily due to the decreased purchases of fixed
assets of $4.1 million supplemented by an increased sale and decreased purchase of marketable
securities.
Cash flows from financing. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 was $1.2 million compared to $207 for the three months March 31, 2007. The
difference of $1.0 million was primarily due to increased net proceeds and tax benefits received
from the issuance of common stock.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, the cash generated from our initial
public offering 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, 2008 and 2007.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement 157, Fair Value Measurement (Statement 157).
Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the
sources to be used to estimate fair value. Statement 157 also expands financial statement
disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 6, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) FAS 157-2 Effective Date of Statement
No. 157 which delays the effective date of Statement 157 for one year for all nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
Statement 157 and FSP FAS 157-2 are
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We
have elected a partial deferral of Statement 157 under the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 related to the
measurement of fair value used when evaluating goodwill, other intangible assets and other
long-lived assets for impairment and valuing asset retirement obligations and liabilities for exit
or disposal activities. We adopted SFAS No. 157 on
January 1, 2008.
In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 110 ( SAB 110 ). SAB 110 amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14,
Share-Based Payment. SAB 110 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the simplified
method in developing an estimate of expected term of plain vanilla share options in accordance
with FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share Based Payment. The use of the simplified method was
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007. SAB 110 extends the use of the simplified method for
plain vanilla awards in certain situations. We currently use the simplified method to estimate
the expected term for share option grants as it does not have enough historical experience to
provide a reasonable estimate due to the limited period our equity shares have been publicly
traded. We will continue to use the simplified method until it has enough historical experience
to provide a reasonable estimate of expected term in accordance with SAB 110.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
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 short-term investments; 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007 included 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 decline in the market value of certain securities backed by residential mortgage
loans has led to a large liquidity crisis affecting the broader U.S. housing market, the financial
services industry and global financial markets. 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 that any change in the market value of our money market funds 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 Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms.
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
The Companys 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 the company 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.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider
the factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2007, 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.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
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 the 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 the 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 this offering to make strategic investments in, or pursue acquisitions of, other
businesses, products or technologies.
