8X8, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
8x8, Inc. ("8x8" or the "Company") is a leading provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology and SaaS (Software as a service)
communication solutions in the cloud for SMBs (Small and Midsize Business) and mid-market and distributed enterprises. The Company delivers a broad suite of SaaS services to in-office
and mobile devices spanning cloud telephony, virtual contact center and virtual meeting through its proprietary unified SaaS platform.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company's fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in these notes to the consolidated financial statements refers to the fiscal
year ended March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2016 refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016).
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. In the opinion of the Company's management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The March 31, 2015 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document were derived from audited consolidated financial statements and does not include all of the
disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 8x8 and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on May 29, 2015, and there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30,
2015, except as described in the "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" section below and Note 10, "Segment Reporting".

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205)
and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU changes the requirements for
reporting discontinued operations in FASB ASU 205-20, such that a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued
operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This ASU requires an entity to present, for each
comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial
position, as well as additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that
does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements and expands the disclosures about an entity's significant continuing involvement with a discontinued
operation. The accounting update is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. We adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2015, and
there was no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, (Topic 330), which amends the guidelines for the measurement of inventory. Under the
amendments, an entity should measure inventory valued using a first-in, first-out or average cost method at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This amendment is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this
pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the
amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in
U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard will become effective for public companies on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or
cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its
consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. Topic 805
requires an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made
to provisional amounts, the amendment requires that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in
which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation,
amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, an
entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings
by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.
The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied
prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not
been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company's contingent consideration liability, included in other accrued liabilities and non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, was associated with the QSC acquisition
made in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The liability was measured at fair value using a probability weighted average of the potential payment outcomes that would occur should certain contract
milestones be reached. There is no market data available to use in valuing the contingent consideration; therefore, the Company developed its own assumptions related to the
achievement of the milestones to evaluate the fair value of the liability. As such, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 as described below.
The item classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, consisting of contingent consideration liability related to the DXI acquisition, was valued based on an estimate of
the probability of success of the milestones being achieved. The table below presents a rollforward of the contingent consideration liability valued using a Level 3 input (in thousands):

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company may agree to indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors and parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to
certain matters such as breaches of representations or covenants or intellectual property infringement or other claims made by third parties. These agreements may limit the time within
which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors.
It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of the Company's exposure under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims
and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on the
Company's operating results, financial position or cash flows. Under some of these agreements, however, the Company's potential indemnification liability might not have a contractual
limit.
Product Warranties
The Company accrues for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its product warranties upon revenue recognition. Changes in the Company's product warranty liability, which is
included in cost of product revenues in the consolidated statements of operations, were as follows (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings
The Company, from time to time, is involved in various legal claims or litigation, including patent infringement claims that can arise in the normal course of the
Company's operations. Pending or future litigation could be costly, could cause the diversion of management's attention and could upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
On February 22, 2011, the Company was named a defendant in Bear Creek Technologies, Inc. ("BCT") v. 8x8, Inc. et al., filed in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ("the Court"), along with 20 other defendants. In August 2011, the suit was dismissed without prejudice and then was refiled
against the Company before the same Court. On November 28, 2012, the USPTO initiated and has since maintained a Reexamination Proceeding in which the claims of the patent
(asserted against the Company) were rejected as being invalid based on four separate grounds. In response to the USPTO invalidity rejections, the Company filed an informational
pleading (on July 10, 2013) to join a motion to stay the proceeding in the District Court, which this motion was granted on July 17, 2013. On May 5, 2015, the Court administratively
closed this case with leave to reopen if needed. The Reexamination Proceeding has been on appeal since September 15, 2014. A hearing on this appeal is scheduled
for November 10, 2015.
In the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, Adaptive Data, LLC sued the Company along with 51 other companies by way of patent infringement complaints filed on December
31, 2014 and on January 5, 2015. The complaint naming the Company (filed December 31, 2014) was never served. Each of these cases was dismissed within several months. The
case against the Company was dismissed pursuant to the Court's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal (without prejudice), dated January 23, 2015.
On April 16, 2015, the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit, Slocumb Law Firm v. 8x8, Inc., filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. The
Slocumb Law Firm alleges that it purchased certain business services from the Company that did not perform as advertised or expected, and asserts various causes of actions including
fraud, breach of contract, violations of the Alabama Deceptive Trade Practices Act and negligence. On June 10, 2015, the United States Magistrate Judge issued a Report and
Recommendation that the Court grant the Company's motion to stay the case and compel the Slocumb Law Firm to arbitrate its claims against the Company in Santa Clara County,
California pursuant to a clause mandating arbitration of disputes set forth in the terms and conditions to which Slocumb Law Firm agreed in connection with its purchase of business services
from the Company. The Company has not yet received a formal arbitration demand from the Slocumb Law Firm, nor has discovery commenced. The Company intends to vigorously
defend against Slocumb Law Firm's claims.

State and Municipal Taxes
From time to time, the Company has received inquiries from a number of state and municipal taxing agencies with respect to the remittance of sales, use, telecommunications, excise,
and income taxes. Several jurisdictions currently are conducting tax audits of the Company's records. The Company collects or has accrued for taxes that it believes are required to be
remitted. The amounts that have been remitted have historically been within the accruals established by the Company.

As of September 30, 2015, there were approximately $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock purchases. This cost is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.
Performance Stock Units
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued restricted performance stock units (PSUs) to a group of executives with vesting that is contingent on
both market performance and continued service. These PSUs vest (1) 50% on September 22, 2017 and (2) 50% on September 27, 2018, in each case subject to performance of the
Company's common stock relative to the Russell 2000 Index during the period from grant date through such vesting date. A 2x multiplier will be applied to the total shareholder
returns (TSR) for each 1% of positive or negative relative TSR, and the number of shares earned will increase or decrease by 2% of the target numbers. In the event 8x8's common
stock performance is below negative 30%, relative to the benchmark, no shares will be issued.
To value these market-based restricted performance stock units under the Equity Compensation Plans, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant.
Fair value determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model varies based on the assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, the correlation coefficient between the
Company and the NASDAQ Composite Index, risk free interest rates, and future dividend payments.
Stock Repurchases
In February 2015, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $20.0 million of its common stock from time to time until February 29, 2016 (the "Repurchase Plan").
Share repurchases, if any, will be funded with available cash. Repurchases under the Repurchase Plan may be made through open market
purchases at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases are subject to market prices and conditions, applicable
securities laws and other factors, and are at the discretion of the Company's management. Share repurchases under the Repurchase Plan may be commenced, suspended or discontinued
at any time. The remaining authorized repurchase amount at September 30, 2015 was approximately $5.1 million.
The stock repurchase activity for the three months ended and as of September 30, 2015, is summarized as follows:

8. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million, which was primarily attributable to income from domestic operations. For the
three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.4 million.
The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the income tax provision by net income before income tax expense. At March 31, 2015, there were $2.4 million of unrecognized tax
benefits that, if recognized, would have affected the effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that there has been any significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits in
the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, and does not expect the remaining unrecognized tax benefit to change materially in the next 12 months. To the extent that the remaining
unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will have an impact on the effective tax rate in future periods.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., California and various other states and foreign jurisdictions in which it has or had a subsidiary or branch operations or it is collecting
sales tax. All tax returns from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 2015 may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, California and various other states. As of October 22, 2015, there
were no active federal or state income tax audits. Returns filed in foreign jurisdictions may be subject to examination for the fiscal years 2011 to 2015.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related disclosures about its products,
services, geographic areas and major customers. Under ASC 280, the method for determining what information to report is based upon the way management organizes the operating
segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
The Company manages its operations primarily on a geographic basis. The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Chief Technology Officer, evaluate performance of
the Company and make decisions regarding allocation of resources based on geographic results. The Company's reportable operating segments are the Americas and
Europe. The Americas segment is primarily North America. The Europe segment is primarily the United Kingdom. Each operating segment provides similar products and services.
The Company's CODMs evaluate the performance of its operating segments based on revenues and net income. Revenues are attributed to each segment based on the ordering location
of the customer or ship to location. The Company does not allocate research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, amortization expense, stock-based
compensation expense, and commitment and contingencies for each segment as management does not consider this information in its evaluation of the performance of each operating
segment. The Company did not allocate goodwill for each segment as the Company had not completed its analysis of assigning goodwill to its reporting units as of October 27, 2015.
The Company's revenue distribution by geographic region (based upon the destination of shipments and the customer's service address) was as follows:

11. ACQUISITIONS
DXI Group Limited
On May 26, 2015, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of DXI Limited, API Telecom Limited, Easycallnow Limited and RAS Telecom
Limited (collectively, DXI) for the purchase of the entire share capital of DXI. The transaction closed effective May 29, 2015 and was not subject to regulatory approvals. The total
aggregate purchase price was approximately $22.5 million, consisting of $18.7 million in cash paid to the DXI shareholders at closing, and $3.8 million in cash deposited into escrow
to be held for two years as security against indemnity claims made by the Company after the closing date. Approximately 352,000 shares of common stock valued at approximately
$3.0 million were issued only to former management shareholders of DXI as part of the share purchase agreement and are subject to certain restrictions, including a four-year annual vesting requirement based on the
continued employment of such shareholders. Under ASC 805-10-55-25, Business Combinations, the shares are
considered post acquisition compensation vs. consideration transferred. The value of the shares will be amortized over the vesting period of forty-eight months. The shares are
further subject to indemnity claims asserted by the Company prior to vesting. Vesting of the shares is subject to acceleration in the event of the shareholder's death or disability, or
upon an employment termination without adequate cause, as provided in the share purchase agreement. The cash escrow also applies only to the management shareholders of DXI
and is to be released in annual installments over two years. The share purchase agreement contains representations and warranties by the management shareholders that are
customary in the UK for transactions of this size and nature. The Company also awarded restricted stock units representing the right to receive approximately 53,000 shares of
common stock that were valued at approximately $482,000 to certain continuing employees of DXI, which will be amortized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period.
The Company recorded the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration
transferred over the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The amount of goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the
expected contributions of the entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce of the acquired business. The finite-lived intangible
assets consist of the following: customer relationships, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of two and five years; and developed technology, with an estimated weighted-average
useful life of seven years. The indefinite lived intangible asset consisted of a tradename.
The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management using various
income approach methods. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis.
The preliminary fair values of net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired were based upon preliminary valuations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change
within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired,
certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and residual goodwill.

DXI contributed revenue of approximately $4.5 million and $1.0 million net loss for the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2015. Total acquisition related costs were
approximately $0.9 million. The Company determined that the acquisition was not deemed to be a material business combination and it is impractical to include such pro forma information
given the difficulty in obtaining the historical financial information of DXI. Inclusion of such information would require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding DXI's
historical financial results that the Company believes may ultimately prove inaccurate.
18
In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company updated its analysis of the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, which resulted in an increase of approximately $1.1
million to goodwill, a decrease in intangible assets of approximately $1.3 million, and a decrease to current and non-current liabilities of $0.2 million, compared with the preliminary
estimates recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The impact of the change in preliminary values on the first quarter of fiscal 2016 statement of operations was not material.
Therefore, no measurement period adjustment was required.
Quality Software Corporation
On June 18, 2015, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with the shareholder of Quality Software Corporation (QSC) and other parties
affiliated with the shareholder and QSC for the purchase of certain assets as per the purchase agreement. The total aggregate fair value of the consideration was approximately $2.9 million,
which $2.2 million was paid in cash to the QSC shareholder at closing. As part of the aggregate purchases price, there is also $0.5 million in
contingent consideration payable subject to attainment of certain revenue and product release milestones for the
acquired business, and $0.3 million in cash held by the Company in escrow to be retained for two years as security against indemnity claims made by the Company after the closing date.
The preliminary fair value of the contingent consideration and escrow amounts was $0.7 million at the acquisition date.
The Company recorded the acquired identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over
the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The amount of goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the expected
contributions of the entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce of the acquired business. The finite-lived intangible assets consist of the following:
in-process research and development, whose estimated weighted life is expected to be three years;
customer relationships, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of five years; and developed technology, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of
seven years. The indefinite lived intangible asset consisted of in-process research and development and a tradename.
The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management using various income approach methods.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis.
The preliminary fair values of intangible assets acquired were based upon preliminary valuations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the
measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired and residual goodwill.

QSC's contributions to revenue and income for the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2015 were not material. Total acquisition related costs were approximately $0.1
million. The Company determined that the acquisition was not deemed to be a material business combination and it is impractical to include such pro forma information given the difficulty
in obtaining the historical financial information of QSC. Inclusion of such information would require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding QSC's historical financial
results that we believe may ultimately prove inaccurate.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company updated its analysis of the valuation of intangible assets with definitive lives, which resulted in $450,000 being reallocated
from intangibles to goodwill compared with the preliminary estimates recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The impact of the change in preliminary values on the first quarter of
fiscal 2016 statement of operations was not material. Therefore, no measurement period adjustment was required.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, words such
as "may," "will," "should," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "strategy," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends," and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those
projected in any such forward-looking statements depending on a variety of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, customer acceptance and demand for our cloud
communications and collaboration services, the quality and reliability of our services, the prices for our services, customer renewal rates, customer acquisition costs, our ability to compete
effectively in the hosted telecommunications and cloud-based computing services business, actions by our competitors, including price reductions for their competitive services, our ability to
provide cost-effective and timely service and support to larger distributed enterprises, potential federal and state regulatory actions, compliance costs, potential warranty claims and product
defects, our need for and the availability of adequate working capital, our ability to innovate technologically, the timely supply of products by our contract manufacturers, our
management's ability to execute its plans, strategies and objectives for future
operations, including the execution of integration plans, and to realize the expected benefits of our acquisitions, and potential future intellectual property infringement claims and other
litigation that could adversely affect our business and operating results. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and
we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this report, and we
undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, see the
Risk Factors discussion in Item 1A of our 2015 Form 10-K in connection with reviewing any forward-looking statements and other disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a leading provider of VoIP and SaaS communication solutions in the cloud for SMBs and mid-market and distributed enterprises. We deliver a
broad suite of SaaS services including hosted cloud telephony, virtual contact center, and virtual meeting to in-office and mobile devices through our proprietary unified SaaS platform. Our
integrated, "pure-cloud" services platform is based on internally owned and managed technologies and is uniquely positioned to serve mid-market and enterprise businesses making the
shift to cloud based unified communications. We make a full set of unified communications capabilities including cloud telephony, contact center, video and web conferencing available from
anywhere in the world. With 8x8 analytics and reporting, our customers have a robust suite of web based tools that provide enterprise-level analytics that can be used to make highly
informed business decisions, whether employees are mobile via the mobile client or in-office using a softphone, or a desk
phone. Since fiscal 2004, substantially all of our revenue has been generated from the sale, license and provision of communications services. Prior to fiscal 2003, our focus was on
our Voice over Internet Protocol semiconductor business.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in this report refers to
the fiscal year ending March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2016 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016).
SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, our new monthly recurring revenue to our mid-market, enterprise
customers and new monthly recurring revenue generated from our channel sales teams increased substantially, reflecting strong demand for our services in our target market segments.
Average monthly service revenue per business customer increased 20% to a record $360, compared with $299 in the same period last year. Our ability to offer a broad range of cloud-
based mission critical communications services is bringing us larger deals where we continue to displace incumbent, premises-based systems.
As we continue our focus on building a more profitable and sustaining mid-market customer base, one that contributes significantly greater lifetime value than the average small business
customer, we are adding fewer one - two line business customers. We expect this trend to continue based on our continued focus on selling to larger businesses. As our average business
customer size continues to grow, we believe that the net additional customer metric no longer correlates to our monthly recurring and top line revenue growth and will no longer include this
statistic in this discussion and analysis.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES & ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and
estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Service revenue consists primarily of revenue attributable to the provision of our 8x8 cloud communication and collaboration services, and royalties earned from cloud
technology licenses. We expect that 8x8 service revenues will continue to comprise nearly all of our service revenues for the foreseeable future. 8x8 service revenues increased in the first
quarter and half of fiscal 2016 primarily due to the increase in our business customer subscriber base (net of customer churn), in particular, to midmarket and enterprise customers, revenue
of approximately $4.5 million from customers acquired as part of the DXI acquisition, and an increase in the average monthly service revenue per customer. Average monthly service
revenue per customer increased from $299 at September 30, 2014 to $360 at September 30, 2015. We expect the number of business customers and average monthly service revenue
per customer to continue to grow in fiscal 2016.

Product revenue consists primarily of revenue from sales of IP telephones in conjunction with our 8x8 cloud telephony service. Product revenue increased for the three and six
months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to an increase in equipment sales to business customers.
No customer represented greater than 10% of the Company's total revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

The cost of service revenue primarily consists of costs associated with network operations and related personnel, telephony origination and termination services provided by third party
carriers and technology license expenses. Cost of service revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year primarily
due to a $0.5 million increase in third party network services expenses, a $0.5 million increase in amortization expense, a $0.3 million increase in payroll and related expenses, a $0.2 million
increase in depreciation expense, and a $0.1 million increase in stock based compensation cost. Also, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased total
cost of service revenue by $1.4 million.
22
Cost of service revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2015 increased over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in third party
network services expenses, a $0.6 million increase in payroll and related expenses, a $0.5 million increase in amortization expense, a $0.4 million increase in depreciation expense, and a $0.2
million increase in stock-based compensation expenses. Also, for the six months ended September 30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased total cost of service revenue by $1.9
million.

The cost of product revenue consists primarily of IP telephones, estimated warranty obligations and direct and indirect costs associated with product purchasing, scheduling, shipping
and handling. The amount of revenue allocated to product revenue based on the relative selling price is less than the cost of the IP phone equipment. The cost of product revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2015 increased over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increase in equipment shipped to customers. The increase in
negative margin was due to increased discounting on customer equipment purchases in the most recent quarter.
The cost of product revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2015 increased over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to an increase in equipment

Historically, our research and development expenses have consisted primarily of personnel, system prototype design, and equipment costs necessary for us
to conduct our development and engineering efforts. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we expensed all research and development costs as they were incurred in
accordance with ASC 985-20. The research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year
primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in payroll and related costs, a $0.4 million increase in stock based compensation costs, and a $0.1 million increase travel costs. Also, for the three
months ended September 30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased total research and development costs by $1.3 million.
The research and development expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2015 increased over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year primarily due to a $3.4 million
increase in payroll and related costs, a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in consulting, temporary personnel, and outside service
expenses. Also, for the six months ended September 30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased total research and development costs by $1.7 million. We expect research and development
expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in our DXI unit and in the formation of our research and development team in Romania.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, and customer service which includes
deployment engineering. Such costs also include outsourced customer service call center operations, sales commissions, as well as trade show, advertising and other marketing and
promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 increased over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year primarily because of a $3.2 million
increase in payroll and related costs, a $1.0 million increase in indirect channel commission expenses, a $0.5 million increase in temporary personnel, consulting and outside service
expenses, a $0.5 million increase in stock compensation costs, a $0.5 million increase in trade show costs, and a $0.3 million increase in travel costs. Also, for the three months ended September
30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased total sales and marketing expense by $1.2 million.
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2015 increased over the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily because of a
$5.3 million increase in payroll and related costs, $0.9 million increase in stock-based compensation expenses, a $1.5 million increase in indirect channel commissions, a $0.9 million
increase in temporary personnel, consulting and outside service expenses, a $0.6 million increase in travel expenses, a $0.6 million increase in trade show costs, and a $0.4 million increase
in advertising expenses. Also, for the six months ended September 30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased total sales and marketing expense by $1.4 million. We expect sales and
marketing expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to increase our efforts to sell to larger businesses and to deploy our cloud communication and collaboration
services globally to enterprise customers.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for finance, human resources and general management.

compensation costs, a $0.4 million increase in payroll and related costs, a $0.2 million increase in temporary personnel, consulting and outside service expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in legal fees.
Also, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased general and administrative expenses by $0.5 million.

acquisitions that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, a $0.4 million increase in temporary personnel, consulting and outside service expenses, a $0.3 million increase in accounting
and tax fees, and a $0.3 million increase in rent expense.
Also, for the six months ended September 30, 2015, the DXI acquisition increased general and administrative expenses by $0.6 million.

In June 2012, we entered into a patent purchase agreement for the sale of a family of United States patents. We recognized a gain of $1.0 million for the three
and six months ended September 30, 2014 due to the third party purchaser entering into a license agreement with its customer. The gain on patent sale has been recorded as a reduction of
operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million, all of which related to net income (loss) from
operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.4 million, all of which related to domestic income from operations.
For the six months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.2 million, which was primarily attributable to domestic income from operations. For the six months
ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.1 million which was primarily attributable to domestic income from operations.
The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the income tax provision by net income before income tax expense. We estimate our annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarter.
In estimating the annual effective tax rate, we, in consultation with our tax advisors, consider, among other things, annual pre-tax income, permanent tax differences, the geographic mix of
pre-tax income and the application and interpretations of existing tax laws.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $149.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $7.1 million, compared with $8.6 million for the six months ended
September 30, 2014. Cash provided by operating activities has historically been affected by the amount of net income, sales of subscriptions, changes in working capital accounts
particularly in deferred revenue due to timing of annual plan renewals, add-backs of non-cash expense items such as the use of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization and the
expense associated with stock-based awards.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $23.1 million during the six months ended September 30, 2015. We spent approximately $2.1 million on the purchase of
property and equipment, we spent approximately $23.4 million on acquisitions of two businesses, and we had proceeds of approximately $3.0 million from the sale of short term
investments, net of purchases and maturities of short term investments. The net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2014
was $13.5 million as we purchased approximately $10.7 million of short term investments, net of sales and
maturities of short term investments, and we spent approximately $2.6 million on the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2015 were approximately $8.4
million, which was primarily due from cash used to repurchase our common stock as part of our Repurchase Plan in the amount of approximately $10.1 million, partially offset by cash
received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan of approximately $2.1 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2014
were approximately $1.5 million, which was primarily due to cash received from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.
Contractual Obligations
We lease our headquarters facility in San Jose, California under an operating lease agreement that expires in October 2019. The lease is an industrial
net lease with monthly base rent of $130,821 for the first 15 months with a 3% increase each year thereafter, and requires us to pay property taxes, utilities and normal maintenance costs.
We entered into a series of noncancelable capital lease agreements for office equipment bearing interest at
various rates. Assets under capital lease at September 30, 2015 totaled $1.7 million with accumulated amortization of $0.5 million.
In the third quarter of 2010, we amended the contract with one of our third party customer support vendors containing a minimum monthly commitment of approximately $0.4 million.
The agreement requires a 150-day notice to terminate. At September 30, 2015, the total remaining obligation under the contract was $2.2 million.
We have entered into contracts with multiple vendors for third party network services. At September 30, 2015, future minimum annual payments under these third party network service
contracts were $1.4 million in fiscal year 2016, $2.5 million for fiscal year 2017, and $0.9 million for fiscal year 2018.
We lease our UK headquarters in Aylesbury UK under operating lease agreements that expires in March 2017. The lease was amended in September 2014 for additional space.
The lease has a base monthly rent of approximately $13,300, and requires us to pay property taxes, service charges, utilities and normal maintenance costs. We also lease office
space in London UK under an operating lease agreement that expires in April 2019. The lease has a base monthly rent of approximately $7,100.
We lease additional spaces in London UK for our DXI location under operating leases that expire through October 2016. The lease has a base monthly rent of approximately $30,400,
and requires us to pay service charges and normal maintenance costs.
We lease space in Romania for our Romanian subsidiary under an operating lease that expires in December 2020.
The lease has a base monthly rent of approximately $2,900, and requires us to pay service charges and normal maintenance costs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency
Our financial market risk consists primarily of risks associated with international operations and related foreign currencies. We derive a portion of our revenue from customers in
Europe and Asia. In order to reduce the risk from fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the vast majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, almost all of our
arrangements with our contract manufacturers are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have not entered into any currency hedging activities. To date, our exposure to exchange rate volatility
has not been significant; however, there can be no assurance that there will not be a material impact in the future.
Investments
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing
risk. Some of the securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to
fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we may maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, debt securities
and certificates of deposit. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio and we do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a
significant impact on our interest income.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Disclosure Controls") that are designed to
ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the
effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls. Based on this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as
of September 30, 2015.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our Disclosure Controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent
all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be 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, have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

financial condition and results of operations in the future. We have disclosed a number of material risks under Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2015, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2015.

ITEM 5. Other Information
On October 20, 2015, our Board of Directors has approved a new share repurchase program authorizing up to $15 million in repurchases of outstanding shares of our
common stock. Repurchases of shares under the program will be made pursuant to a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan, under which transactions would be effected
in accordance with specified price, volume and timing conditions. A plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 allows an issuer to repurchase shares at times
when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or due to self-imposed trading blackout periods. Because repurchases under a Rule 10b5-1 share
repurchase plan are subject to specified parameters, there can be no assurance regarding the number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased pursuant to the plan, and we may
discontinue repurchases and terminate the plan at any time.
