SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
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 Companys 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.
1. Description of Business
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the Company or Synchronoss) is a leading provider of
on-demand transaction management platforms that enable communications service providers (CSPs),
equipment manufacturers with embedded connectivity (e.g., 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. The
Companys business model enables delivery of its proprietary solutions over the Web as a service.
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 Companys
ConvergenceNow® platforms (including ConvergenceNow® Plus+ and
InterconnectNow) provide end-to-end seamless integration between customer-facing
channels/applications, communication services, devices and back-office infrastructure-related
systems and processes. The Companys customers rely on the Companys Web-based solutions and
technology to automate the process of activating customers while delivering additional
communication services, including new service offerings and ongoing customer care. Synchronoss has
designed its ConvergenceNow® platforms to be flexible and scalable to enable multiple
converged communication services to be managed across multiple distribution channels, including
e-commerce, telesales, customer stores and other retail outlets, etc., allowing the Company to
meet the rapidly changing and converging services offered by its customers. By simplifying the
processes associated with managing the Companys customers subscribers experience for ordering
and activating services through the use of the Companys ConvergenceNow® platforms to
automate and integrate their disparate systems, Synchronoss enables its customers to acquire,
retain, and service subscribers quickly, reliably and cost-effectively.
2. Basis of Presentation
For further information about the Companys basis of presentation or its significant
accounting policies, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
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). FSP 107-1 extends the disclosure requirements
to FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Statement
5
SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)
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.
4. Earnings per Common Share
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (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

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.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED (Continued)
(in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)
Treasury Stock
In 2008, the Companys board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up
to $25.0 million of the Companys 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 Companys balance sheet, with an offsetting amount
recorded as financing liabilities, did not impact the Companys 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
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 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 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 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 Courts
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 Companys 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 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. 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. 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 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.
12
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 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&Ts 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
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 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 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 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 Courts
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 Companys 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 Companys 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. 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.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
18
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 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.
