Item 1.

Business

Overview

We provide enterprise mobility services that assist the productivity of workers as they move between and among office sites, home and remote locations. Our services simplify mobility by providing the enterprise with a comprehensive platform that provides them with visibility, analytics management and control of the connectivity, devices and mobility costs across their company. Our global enterprise mobility services consist of our new Open Mobile services, our legacy Mobile Office offering, and our Network Services. Our Open Mobile services are based on our new Open Mobile Platform, which is a cloud-based services delivery system that gives the enterprise insight and control over definition and management of their mobility services. Our Mobile Office product has been the Company’s historic enterprise mobility offering, providing unified global connectivity, connectivity management and device management.

Our enterprise mobility services also includes the iPass Mobile Network, which consists of more than 263,000 global venues including Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Inflight Wi-Fi hotspots, broadband connection technologies such as 3G, as well as narrowband access technologies, such as modem dial-up, which together we refer to as our Network Services. The iPass Mobile Network is composed of contractual relationships and technical integrations with more than 320 fixed and mobile telecommunications carriers, Internet service providers and other network service providers around the globe.

We also provide managed network services to enterprise customers, connecting the enterprise’s branch offices and retail locations. Our managed network solutions are used by enterprises in a range of industries in the United States.

We were incorporated in California in July 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in June 2000. Our principal executive offices are located in Redwood Shores, California.

Our Strategy

We have been transforming our company from a business historically focused on selling network access to one that provides a comprehensive set of value-added enterprise mobility services through a cloud-based platform. Our strategy is to become the connection platform of choice and to provide our global enterprise customers, as well as the customers of our carrier and channel partners, the best user experience with market-leading enterprise mobility services that allow enterprises to effectively manage their mobile workforces and carriers to deliver differentiated services to their customers. These services support cost control, compliance enforcement and ensure security when workers connect their mobile devices to a wide range of networks.

Our strategy consists of the following key elements and initiatives:

On-going Development of Our Cloud-based Open Mobile Platform: Become the Connection Platform of Choice

We released the first version of our Open Mobile Platform in January 2010 and we’ve continued to develop and release updates to the platform’s features and functionality. We believe this platform allows us to provide a compelling and value-focused set of integrated mobility offerings to our enterprise and to our channel and carrier partners that help them address their increasingly complex mobility needs. We also believe that our Open Mobile Platform will allow our customers to keep pace with mobility innovation while minimizing capital investment in infrastructure and technology, and eliminating mobile operator and device lock-in. We have designed our Open Mobile Platform to support the following key characteristics and functionality:

•

An always-on, lightweight software client that runs on the mobile device;

•

A cloud-based platform that allows the enterprise to configure and manage its mobility offering by providing in-depth reporting and analytics on mobile usage across the networks and devices used by an enterprise;

•

Policy enforcement services that enable the enterprise IT organization to have their cost, compliance and security measures enforced across their mobile workforce; and

•

Carrier service enablement components, including service creation and configuration tools, device (3G/4G) and network directory integration, and multi-tenant and multi-hierarchical cloud based platform with comprehensive service branding capabilities.

Our Open Mobile Platform can provide our enterprise customers, channel partners and carrier partners control over the services they choose to deliver to their employees and users. The Open Mobile Platform also can provide enterprise customers with the ability to enforce cost control and security policies directly on their employees’ and users’ mobile devices. The Open Mobile Platform is designed to help customers and partners manage their customers’ mobile connectivity, network providers and devices whether provided through our platform or by another mobile operator. We believe that this platform and its functionality are central to evolving our business from a network access-centric model to a business that sells value-added enterprise mobility services via a cloud-based platform. As of December 31, 2010, we’ve signed Open Mobile agreements with multiple enterprise customers and several large multi-national carriers, with commitments to deploy Open Mobile to their employees and to deliver a range of integrated mobile services for multi-national corporate customers, respectively.

Drive Customer Adoption of Open Mobile: Migrate Existing Customers and Add New Customers to Open Mobile Platform.

To grow our business we intend to migrate and add new users in our existing enterprise customer base to our new Open Mobile Platform, add new enterprise customers, and migrate and add new carrier customers. We believe that the broader functionality and value proposition of our Open Mobile Platform services which are designed to address the enterprise customers, channel partners and carrier partners mobility and service delivery needs will increase the number of active users of our services. We believe that our platform will also increase end-user awareness of our brand and thus may drive more iPass network usage. We intend to drive the migration of existing and prospective customers to our Open Mobile Platform by:

•

Offering a new and integrated portfolio of mobility management services to our enterprise customers, channel partners and carrier partners;

•

Continuing to enhance the value of our existing mobile network offering;

•

Providing a comprehensive set of services that enable our customers and partners to launch their own enterprise mobility services; and

•

Actively selling the value proposition of our Open Mobile Platform.

Increase the Use of Our Services.

Another element of our strategy, and what we believe is key to increasing stockholder value, is to drive increased usage of our platform and services by our enterprise customers and our carrier and channel partners’ users. We expect to achieve this by promoting our Open Mobile Platform and its benefits to drive an increase in the number of customers and partners and the frequency of use of our services. We believe that the visibility and control functionality of our Open Mobile Platform will provide an improved value proposition to the enterprise IT departments of our customers and thereby support our customers making our platform a standard connectivity medium across their enterprise. We also believe that the carrier service enablement components will increase the adoption of the Open Mobile Platform as the foundation for delivering white-labeled mobility services to their

users. Further, we believe that our new platform offers end-users significantly improved ease-of-use and a better experience that will result in greater usage of our services. We intend to increase usage of our services by:

•

Making the end-user connection experience easy and seamless;

•

Providing tools to the IT administrator to allow them to more effectively manage their mobility service;

•

Continuing to develop the functionality and features of our platform;

•

Continually expanding our mobile network footprint, including free Wi-Fi, Inflight and new geographies; and

•

Executing on our commitment to customer success, satisfaction and account management activities.

Our Services

We offer two broad areas of services: (i) Enterprise Mobility Services (which consists of Platform Services , Network Services and Other Enterprise Mobility services), and (ii) Managed Network Services.

Enterprise Mobility Services

Our Enterprise Mobility Services (“EMS”) consist of (i) our platform offerings (which include both our new Open Mobile Platform offering and our legacy Mobile Office product), (ii) our Network offerings, and (iii) Other EMS services, as follows:

Open Mobile Platform

In January 2010, we introduced our new cloud-based Open Mobile Platform which was designed to deliver enhanced network mobility services. These services are designed to allow our enterprise customers to more effectively manage their mobile workforces by controlling costs, enforcing compliance and ensuring security when workers connect their mobile devices to the Internet and wireless networks. In addition, our enterprise mobility services provide a connection management functionality that runs independent of mobile operators. We have architected our Open Mobile Platform so that it can transparently facilitate every connection initiated by a user, regardless of the underlying network or device that they use to connect; as a result, the Open Mobile Platform can provide our enterprise customers with mobile operator independence, reduced lock-in costs and provide the enterprise a new level of choice and control. We generated our first revenues from the Open Mobile Platform in the third quarter of 2010.

The iPass Open Mobile Platform provides the foundation for an expanded portfolio of enterprise mobility services designed to enable enterprise users and carrier customers to connect from any mobile device over a wide range of networks simply, smartly and openly, while providing visibility and control necessary to support the demand of the customer. The new portfolio of services includes:

Mobile Connect. A service that orchestrates policy-based Internet and corporate network access through the iPass Open Mobile Client, an always-on, lightweight software client that runs on the mobile device. The service collects and transmits usage data and statistics from the mobile device via the iPass Open Mobile Portal and interfaces with the enterprise’s other client software and internal IT systems as needed. We continued to make key developments in the Open Mobile Connect service throughout the year including the additional platforms we now support: in January 2010, we launched our new Open Mobile Platform with the Open Mobile for Windows client; we then enhanced our platform offering with the addition of the Open Mobile for Macintosh client in the second quarter of 2010, and the Open Mobile for Android client in the third quarter of 2010.

Mobile Insight. A service that offers companies in-depth reporting and analysis on mobile usage across all their networks, connections and devices. Using the iPass Open Mobile Portal, IT administrators can design sophisticated reports that are driven by the iPass-patented Service Quality Monitoring (“SQM”) data

collection system that monitors mobile usage, cost and compliance by division, department or user group. In 2010, we added 3G usage reports to our portfolio of Mobile Insight reports, providing organizations with the necessary insight to understand how 3G data is being accessed and used across the organization, helping to prevent excessive 3G usage and 3G roaming charges.

Mobile Control. A powerful policy enforcement service that enables IT staff to apply and enforce cost, security and policy compliance measures across their mobile workforce by deploying a wide variety of connectivity and device-oriented policies in real-time. Combined with Mobile Insight, companies can use real-world usage behavior to create comprehensive policies. In 2010, we provided additional cost control capabilities including providing organizations with the ability to block 3G roaming for select users, and pass customized 3G roaming alerts to those who are permitted to roam so that users are notified of their roaming usage. The on-campus roaming functionality of the Open Mobile Platform offers users a seamless user experience with comprehensive policy enforcement across both remote and corporate (campus) wireless connections.

Mobile Office Product

The Mobile Office service is the company’s legacy mobility platform offering. Mobile Office offers customers the ability to reduce their costs of delivering mobility by providing unified global connectivity, connectivity management and device management. It delivers 3G mobile data, Wi-Fi hotspot, wired broadband and dial-up access through the iPassConnect mobility manager. It unifies management and billing for the IT department of our enterprise customers, channel partners and carrier partners.

Mobile Office includes the following features:

•

iOQ Advanced Reporting. iOQ allows our customers’ in-house or outsourced help desk personnel to quickly identify issues and troubleshoot connection problems. With this feature enterprises and carriers can generate records and reports regarding access locations, client configuration, error codes, connection speeds, time to authenticate and other critical information.

•

Hosted Authentication. We offer a hosted authentication option for Mobile Office to enable customers and partners to realize the benefits of our enterprise connectivity services while avoiding the cost of installing and managing additional authentication infrastructure. We manage the customer’s or partner’s authentication server in one of our secure data centers, but the information technology manager retains full control of managing the organization’s user credentials.

•

On-Campus Roaming. This capability allows enterprise IT departments to offer a single user experience for all remote and local wireless connections, while extending centralized management of security policies to corporate wireless networks.

Network Services

The iPass Mobile Network is our virtual network through which we provide our enterprise, channel and carrier customers unmatched global broadband access to the world’s largest multi-technology mobile access footprint, unifying 3G mobile broadband and Wi-Fi and wired hotspots. The iPass Mobile Network was enhanced in 2010 with the addition of iPass OpenAccess, which added over 20,000 free Wi-Fi hotspot locations around the globe and the addition of Inflight Wi-Fi, which provides Wi-Fi access on over 3,800 daily U.S. flights. All told the iPass Mobile Network increased to over 263,000 wired and Wi-Fi locations in over 160 countries in 2010, an increase of over 120,000 locations during 2010. A key component and what we believe is a compelling competitive advantage of our Network Services is the iPass Services Fabric, composed of contractual relationships and technical integrations with over 320 fixed and mobile telecommunications operators, Internet service providers and other network service providers around the globe. This network architecture has redundancy built in through fault-tolerance mechanisms at key points in the platform across five continents, allowing us to deliver extremely high service availability to our customers. Our network services provide customers with broadband coverage in more

than 100 countries and includes 3G and what we believe is the world’s largest commercial Wi-Fi network; our network coverage also includes dial-up access in 158 countries. We typically charge our enterprise and carrier customers for accessing our network through usage-based and flat-fee arrangements.

Other Enterprise Mobility Services

We also provide additional ancillary enterprise mobility services, including device integration, professional services, training, and other related services.

Managed Network Services

We also offer site-to-site Managed Network Services (“MNS”) to enterprise customers through our iPass Branch Office and iPass Retail Office services that combine service functions that include end-to-end managed IP VPN, Visa-accredited PCI security solutions for retail, and home gateway management for teleworkers. Complete with a tailored design and end-to-end software license agreements to meet enterprise performance requirements, our MNS services are used by leaders in a range of industries including retail, pharmaceutical, financial services and health care. We charge our customers a monthly fee for each end point and fees for installations and services. An end point is a logical network “end point.” In all situations, this means a separate physical location—it could be a home (as for teleworkers) or a branch office (for branch and/or retail).

Branch Office. This service provides an organization with a managed wide-area network to connect hundreds of small offices back to a corporate data center. It leverages iPass’ relationships with over 320 cable, DSL and wireless providers to provide coverage throughout the United States and Canada. The connections are secured using VPN platforms from Cisco, Juniper Networks and SonicWALL. As part of the managed service, we provide end-to-end proactive monitoring, reporting and troubleshooting of the health of the network, including availability, latency and packet loss. All of this information is available on a real-time basis on the Universal Remote Control section of the iPass portal.

Retail Office. Retail Office provides wide-area networking for distributed retail locations to connect to a corporate data center. It is identical to the Branch Office service, except that the offering includes Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance as part of the solution. PCI Compliance is required for any network which transmits credit card data. Retail Office solutions include VPN platforms from Cisco and Juniper Networks and include all of the proactive management and reporting associated with Branch Office as well as specific reporting for PCI Compliance. Secure Franchise is an additional add-on offering to Retail Office, which enables franchise owners to access their Retail Office locations remotely.

Virtual Office. iPass Virtual Office adds managed fixed broadband for teleworkers to Mobile Office, providing enterprise customers a method of outsourcing the broadband network design, implementation and on-going support for their entire population of home workers. This service provides customers a managed service with a single point of contact and single consolidated bill while supporting broadband connections on different technologies and carriers. iPass maintains relationships with over 320 cable and DSL providers to provide coverage in the United States and Canada. The Virtual Office service comes with a secured, managed Wi-Fi enabled router to allow a user the freedom to work anywhere within the home.

For a breakdown of our revenue by service type, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7.

Our Platform Architecture and Services

iPass enterprise mobility services are delivered to customers through a cloud-based platform comprising software elements on the mobile device and available over the Internet. Our platform gives enterprises and carriers control over the definition and management of mobility services configured to their specific needs. Our platform architecture gives customers choice in access, devices and services and serves as a bridge to future functionality through use of extensible web services standards, while keeping the operational and financial burden on companies low by not requiring them to purchase, deploy and manage on-premises infrastructure.

Our platform is designed to:

•

Integrate with existing enterprise security, directory, and business systems;

•

Integrate with any network, whether the iPass Network, customer-owned networks or third-party provider networks;

•

Embrace new access methods, devices, and applications; and

•

Spawn innovation through applications that extend the platform, written by customers, partners or third-party software developers.

The technology incorporated into our platform and services is designed to provide our customers with reliability, flexibility, network security, policy enforcement, consolidated billing and scalability. Our technology consists of the following principal components:

Foundation Services. Provide the basic capabilities needed for a cloud-based platform, including the ability to manage users (add, remove, or change rights), authenticate users to access the platform, authorize access to particular functions, or track and audit use of the platform.

Operational Services. Are built on top of the iPass Foundation Services platform, enabling customers to operate the various iPass market-facing offers, including user profile/configuration management, network directory management, account management, order management, usage management, support, billing and training.

Presentation Services. Impact how information is presented to users of the platform, usually through a web based portal. Services include web presentation, data validation, access control (controlling who can see and enter what), and web analytics.

Client Services. Provide the core update functionality within the platform, with the ability to update the client software, configuration files, and network registries associated with it, and to receive the data that the client collects.

High-Availability and Scalable Authentication Architecture. Our relationships with over 320 network service providers enable us to provide connectivity through multiple networks in over 160 countries on our cloud-based platform. As a result, our cloud-based platform reduces the risk of service interruptions associated with depending on only one service provider. Furthermore, our geographically distributed transaction centers act as a unified and fault-tolerant system that provides scalable and highly-available user authentication and quality management information collection. Each point in the authentication process is designed with built-in redundancy and fail-over capabilities. There has been no service-wide system down-time that impacted the platform and the services that it provides since 2000. This architecture also makes our cloud-based platform scalable, allowing us to handle more connections and users with a less than proportional increase in capital expenditures.

Segment Financial Information and Geographic Information

We operate our business in two segments: EMS and MNS. We allocate resources and assess the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income or loss. Effective in the third quarter of 2010, we began reporting two operating segments: EMS and MNS. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we reported one segment.

Our business is dependent on the success of our EMS and MNS segments. For a more complete discussion of business risks that these segments face, both combined and individually, see the discussion that appears in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” of this Form 10-K.

For further financial information on the EMS and MNS segments, as well as long-lives assets and geographic information, refer to the information contained in Note 17, “Segment and Geographic Information,”

in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 15. For risks attendant to foreign operations, see the risks entitled “Because a meaningful portion of our business is international, we encounter additional risks, which may impact our revenues and profitability” and “Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could negatively affect our operating results” in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Customers

We sell our service offerings directly to enterprise and carrier customers and indirectly though channel partners. As of December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 our customers included over 420, 391, and 371, respectively, of the Forbes^® 2000 companies.

Revenues generated in the United States accounted for approximately 62%, 61%, and 61% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. International revenues accounted for approximately 38%, 39%, and 39% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Revenues in the United Kingdom accounted for 9%, 10% and 9%, of total revenues in 2010, 2009, and 2008 respectively. International revenues are determined by the location of the customer’s headquarters. We generally experience some seasonality in our business due to decreased business travel during the summer, particularly in Europe, which results in decreased demand for our network services.

For information regarding our revenues, see “Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7.

Agreements with Network Service Providers

Our relationships with multiple global network service providers form the basis of our Network Services. These offerings span a breadth of access technologies including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 3G (both GSM and CDMA versions), dial-up and geographies. We typically contract with network service providers, integrate their networks into our global infrastructure, and monitor their performance to ensure that our customers have a consistent end user experience.

We have commercial relationships with over 320 telecommunications carriers, Internet service providers and other network service providers that enable us to offer our network services in 160 countries around the world. We pay network service providers for access to their network on a usage, session or subscription basis. Most of these contracts have a one or two year term, after which either party can terminate the contract with notice. The contracts we have entered into with providers are non-exclusive and may contain minimum commitments for the purchase of network access.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our services directly through our global sales force and indirectly through our carrier and channel partners. Our sales organization is organized into regional account teams, which include sales management, territory managers, sales engineers and customer success teams. We maintain sales offices or personnel in a number of cities in the United States as well as in Australia, India, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, France, Singapore, Sweden and The Netherlands. As of December 31, 2010, our sales organization was comprised of 73 individuals: 44 in North America, 11 in Asia Pacific and 18 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”).

Our channel partners include network service providers, telecommunications carriers, systems integrators and value added resellers. A channel partner typically signs a one to two-year agreement with us through which we appoint the partner as a nonexclusive reseller of our services. Channel partner responsibilities vary and may include actively marketing and selling iPass services, deploying and supporting customer accounts, and implementing and managing billing for their customers. Selling through channel partners allows us to offer our services without incurring the full cost of customer acquisition (sales and marketing) or customer post-sales

support. Our channel partners typically sell complementary hardware, software, and services, and bundle our services with their core offerings. They may also have a base of existing customers to whom they can efficiently sell our portfolio of services. In many cases our salespeople do support the partner with closing new business, and once an enterprise has signed a contract for our services through a channel partner, our post-sales team may work with the channel partner to ensure successful implementation of our services. However, the enterprise remains the customer of the channel partner and has no direct financial relationship with us.

We focus our marketing efforts on establishing a strong corporate reputation in the market, creating awareness and preference for our services and their benefits, educating potential customers, generating new sales opportunities, generating end-user awareness and demand within existing customer accounts and enabling our sales force and channel partners to effectively sell and provide our service offerings. We conduct a variety of marketing programs that may include advertising, promotions, public relations, analyst relations, telemarketing, direct marketing, web and e-mail marketing, collateral and sales tools creation, seminars, events and trade shows, training, co-operative channel marketing, internet marketing and promotions.

Competition

Our approach to addressing the mobility challenges and needs of the enterprise is to provide an integrated platform and suite of value added services that offer connectivity, reporting and analytics, policy management, and network services. While there are numerous point solution providers that offer varying individual or in some cases combinations of the various mobility services similar to the services we offer, we are not aware of any competitor that provides a platform or range of services in an integrated offering as we do. Further, we believe that the self-service nature of our platform that allows an enterprise to configure and manage its own custom mobility service is a unique and differentiating factor for us.

The enterprise mobility market is very fragmented with a variety of competitors, including facilities-based carriers, cloud-based platform operators and mobility management solution providers. We compete based on a number of factors including geographic network coverage, pricing, multiple network technology support, network reliability, quality of service, platform functionality and features, ease of implementation, ease of use and ease of management.

As we have expanded our mobility offerings beyond network services to include an integrated platform of enterprise mobility services delivered through our cloud-based platform, we may also encounter additional competitors in the marketplace, including mobility management solution providers which offer mobile device management, mobile security, and telecommunication expense management software and services, among other mobility offerings.

Insofar as network connectivity and core telecommunications services, we compete with the national telecommunications carriers who provide a suite of services to enterprise customers. To a lesser extent we compete with cloud-based platform operators who may also provide managed services such as VPNs and firewalls, and additional telecommunications services such as local exchange and long distance services, voicemail and DSL services. We have channel partners that offer these types of services in conjunction with our service, but we do not offer these additional services directly.

Insofar as our managed network services, we compete with a variety of providers, including large connectivity providers who own their own networks and have a broad range of network solutions and smaller regional providers.

Research and Development

We are committed to continuing to enhance our underlying technology and continuing to innovate and incorporate new technologies and features into our services and network architecture. Our research and

development efforts are focused on improving and enhancing our platform and service offerings as well as developing new services. As of December 31, 2010, our research and development organization consisted of 111 employees, 66 of whom were located in India. Our research and development expenses were $13.8 million, $14.4 million, and $16.4 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Intellectual Property

We believe our technology and platform contains valuable intellectual property and we rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, trade secret laws, patents and disclosure restrictions to protect these intellectual property rights. We license third-party technologies that are incorporated into our services. We also enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with our employees, consultants and other third parties and control access to software, documentation and other proprietary information. We have a patent portfolio, solely related to our EMS business consisting of twelve US patents, two Australian patents, one Israeli patent and three European patents (UK, Germany and France). Our patents expire between 2016 and 2025. In 2010 we were granted four new US patents. We currently have eleven US patent applications pending, and seventeen international patent applications pending (in the same subject areas as the US patent applications). iPass and the iPass logo are registered trademarks. We have also applied for registered company trademarks in the U.S. and numerous other countries.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had 363 employees of which 233 were located in the North America, 29 in EMEA and 101 in Asia Pacific.

Item 1A. Risk

Factors

Our business is subject to a number of risks, many of which are described below. If any of the events described in these risks factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, which would likely have a corresponding impact on the value of our common stock. Further, the risk factors described below could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These risk factors should be reviewed carefully.

In 2010 we released a new cloud-based platform for the delivery of our enterprise mobility services and if our Open Mobile Platform does not achieve market acceptance our ability to grow our business could be harmed.

In 2010, we released a new cloud-based platform for the delivery of our enterprise mobility services. The future success of our business will depend in large part on our current and prospective customers’ acceptance of our Open Mobile Platform and enterprise mobility services. Key risks associated with our Open Mobile Platform and services are as follows:

Our Open Mobile Platform may not have all functionality desired by our customers. Early versions of the platform will not have all the functionality contained in our old platform. This may cause customers to delay their decision to purchase and/or adopt the Open Mobile Platform. There is risk that we may not timely release versions of the Open Mobile Platform that contain features that our customers desire and we will need to provide our customers with stable, easy to use, feature-rich and valuable enterprise mobility services related to security, policy control and reporting. Further, the Open Mobile Platform may contain bugs or errors that would cause our customers to not adopt or delay the adoption of the Open Mobile Platform. In addition, the Open Mobile Platform and our supporting IT infrastructure may have technological limitations or errors that could cause us not to accurately record the number of users of the platform. If some or all of these risks associated with our Open Mobile Platform were to occur, market acceptance of the platform may not occur and our business could be harmed.

Customer deployment of our Open Mobile Platform may not result in increased use of our services. We believe it is important to the future success of our business that our customers’ employees increase their usage of our services. We believe that the deployment by our customers of our Open Mobile Platform will lead to increased usage of our services and an increase in our revenue. However, even if a significant portion of our customers deploy our Open Mobile Platform, there is no guarantee that our customers will use our services more frequently.

Customers must be willing to pay for our platform in order for us to generate meaningful revenues and growth. We believe that it is important that the value proposition of our Open Mobile Platform is accepted by enterprise customers such that they are willing to pay for their employees to use our enterprise mobility services. If enterprises are willing to adopt our Open Mobile Platform but are not willing to pay for incremental users and/or additional usage within their organizations, our ability to grow revenues and profitability could be adversely impacted.

Our network revenue and overall profitability may be adversely impacted by material reductions in existing customer and partner minimum commitments.

Our customers and partners that are billed on a usage basis have traditionally entered into contractual provisions that require them to pay the greater of the fees generated from the use of our services or a minimum committed amount over a pre-determined time period. Recent global economic conditions in certain cases caused our customers and partners to generate fees from the use of our services that were significantly less than their minimum committed amounts. Consequently this shortfall has caused some partners and customers upon renewal of their contracts with us, to renew with a lower minimum commitment and in some cases with no minimum

commitment. Additionally, in some cases partners and customers are requesting a re-evaluation of their minimum commitments on a prospective basis during the term of their existing contract; in order to maintain these commercial relationships, we have addressed these requests on a contract by contract basis. The reduction or elimination of minimum commitments means that a larger percentage of future revenue will be based on the actual usage of our services, making our ability to forecast revenue in a given period more difficult to predict and may result in a decrease in our revenues and profitability.

If we do not accurately predict network usage for our Flat Rate price plans, our costs could increase without a corresponding increase in network revenue.

A number of our customers have transitioned to our Flat Rate price plans, and we are signing new customers to this plan. In this plan, our customers pay a flat rate price to access our network services. However, in the majority of situations we continue to pay our providers based on usage. The rate we charge in our Flat Rate price plans is based on statistical predictions of usage across a pool of users within an enterprise. If actual usage is higher than expected our profitability could be negatively impacted.

If we do not deliver valuable services for smart-phones and other mobile handheld devices our ability to grow our business may be impaired.

A variety of smart-phone and tablet devices are available in the marketplace enabling individuals to, among other things, check email, access business applications and access the Internet. These devices are becoming more relied upon by our customers’ employees. If the capabilities of smart-phones, tablets or other mobile handheld devices cause our users to stop using laptops while traveling, or to use them less often, then our operating results may be harmed. Further, if we do not develop valuable services for smart-phones, tablets and handheld devices in a timely fashion, these devices may access the Internet and/or be managed without our services, impairing our ability to grow our business.

If demand for enterprise mobility services does not grow or grows in ways that do not require use of our services, we may experience a decline in revenues and profitability.

The growth of our business is dependent, in part, upon the increased use of enterprise mobility services and our ability to capture a higher proportion of this market. If the demand for enterprise mobility services does not continue to grow, or grows in ways that do not require use of our services, then we may not be able to grow our business, or achieve or maintain profitability. Increased usage of our enterprise mobility services depends on numerous factors, including:

•

Willingness of enterprises to make additional information technology expenditures;

•

Availability of security services necessary to ensure data privacy over a variety of networks;

•

Quality, cost and functionality of our services and competing services;

•

Increased adoption of wireless broadband access methods and our ability to support these new methods;

•

Proliferation of smart-phones, tablets and mobile handheld devices and related applications; and

•

Our ability to provide valuable services and support for those devices.

If key global Wi-Fi venues offer “no charge” Internet access, our network revenues could be negatively affected.

We derive a significant portion of our network revenue from providing Wi-Fi access in certain key venues (e.g., hotels, airports and cafes). In general, these venues charge their customers for Wi-Fi access. If these venues begin offering Wi-Fi access at no charge, the amount we can charge our customers for Wi-Fi access at these

venues will likely decrease significantly or we may not charge our customers for Wi-Fi access at these venues. For example, Starbucks and certain airports in the United States have recently ceased charging their customers for Wi-Fi access and we have experienced reduced revenues as a result. If this trend continues at other key Wi-Fi venues, our network revenues and overall profitability may be negatively impacted.

If we are unable to meet the challenges posed by broadband access, our ability to profitably grow our business may be impaired.

A substantial portion of the growth of our business has depended, and will continue to depend, in part upon our ability to expand our global network by addressing broadband access technologies, such as 3G and Wi-Fi and other future wireless technologies. Such an expansion may not result in additional revenues to us. Key challenges in expanding the broadband elements of our network include:

The broadband access market continues to develop at a rapid pace. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from wireless broadband “hotspots,” such as certain airports, hotels and convention centers. The broadband access market, particularly for wireless access, continues to develop rapidly, in particular: the market for enterprise connectivity services through broadband is characterized by evolving industry standards and specifications and there is currently no uniform standard for wireless access. Furthermore, although the use of wireless frequencies generally does not require a license in the United States and abroad, if Wi-Fi frequencies become subject to licensing requirements, or are otherwise restricted, this would substantially impair the growth of wireless access. Some large telecommunications providers and other stakeholders that pay large sums of money to license other portions of the wireless spectrum may seek to have the Wi-Fi spectrum become subject to licensing restrictions. If the broadband wireless access market develops in ways that limit access growth, our ability to generate substantial revenues from broadband wireless access could be harmed.

The broadband service provider market is highly fragmented. There are currently many wired and wireless broadband service providers that provide coverage in only one or a small number of hotspots. We have entered into contractual relationships with numerous broadband service providers. These contracts generally have an initial term of two years or less. We must continue to develop relationships with many providers on terms commercially acceptable to us in order to provide adequate coverage for our customers’ mobile workers and to expand our broadband coverage. We may also be required to develop additional technologies in order to integrate new broadband services into our service offering. If we are unable to develop these relationships or technologies, our ability to grow our business could be impaired. In addition, if broadband service providers consolidate, our negotiating leverage with providers may decrease, resulting in increased rates for access, which could harm our operating results.

Broadband service provider actions may restrict our ability to sell our services. Some network providers restrict our ability to sell access to their networks to our resellers whom they consider competitive with them. This can reduce our revenue by limiting the footprint our partners can make available to their customers. In addition, in some geographies the conventional practice is for a mobile data (3G) carrier to provide a device on a subsidized basis. This device cannot easily be used with any network besides that of the carrier who provides it, which makes it difficult for us to replace that carrier in the account and thus may negatively impact our ability to sign new enterprise customers to our 3G service which could harm our ability to grow our business.

Significant dependency with a single network provider could negatively affect our revenues.

There are certain venues (hotels, airports, cafes, etc.) globally where we depend on a single provider for network access in those venues. In addition, in certain geographies we depend on a small number of providers for a large portion of network access. If such a provider were to go out of business or terminate their agreement with iPass, it could have a negative impact on our revenues and profitability if we cannot find an alternative provider to provide network access in those venues or geographies.

In order to compete, we must attract, retain, and motivate key employees, and our failure to do so could harm our results.

In order to compete, we must attract, retain, and motivate executives, sales representatives, engineers and other key employees. Hiring and retaining qualified executives, sales representatives and engineers are critical to our business, and competition for experienced employees in our industry can be intense. If we experience significant turnover of our executives, sales representatives and engineers it will be difficult to achieve our business objectives and could adversely impact our results.

Consolidation in the telecommunications industry may impair our ability to provide reliable, redundant and expanded network service coverage and negotiate favorable network access terms.

The telecommunications industry is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. These factors may result in certain network service providers having poor operating results. As a result, some of these service providers have consolidated and are working to consolidate or otherwise cease operations, which would reduce the number of network service providers from which we are able to obtain network access. If consolidation continues to occur, we will have a smaller number of network service providers to acquire network access from and we may not be able to provide additional or sufficient redundant access points in some geographic areas, which could diminish our ability to provide broad, reliable, redundant coverage. Further, our ability to negotiate favorable access rates from network service providers could be impaired, which could increase our network access expenses and harm our operating results.

We face strong competition in the market for enterprise mobility services, which could make it difficult for us to succeed.

While we do not believe there are service providers in the enterprise mobility services market that offer a platform or range of services in an integrated offering as we do, we compete with a variety of service providers, including facilities-based carriers, cloud-based platform operators and mobility management solution providers. Some of these providers have substantially greater resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories and/or greater name recognition than we have. In addition, we face the following challenges:

Many of our competitors can compete on price. Because many of our facilities-based competitors own and operate physical networks they may be able to provide additional hotspot access at little incremental cost to them. As a result, they may offer network access services at a lower cost, and may be willing to discount or subsidize network access services to capture other sources of revenue. In contrast, we have traditionally purchased network access from facilities-based network service providers to enable our network access service and in these cases, may not be able to compete aggressively on price. In addition, new cloud-based platform operators may enter enterprise mobility services market and compete on price. In either case, we may lose business or be forced to lower our prices to compete, which could reduce our revenues.

Many of our competitors offer additional services that we do not, which enables them to bundle these services and compete favorably against us. Some of our competitors provide services that we do not, such as: local exchange and long distance services, voicemail and digital subscriber line (DSL) services. Potential customers that desire these services on a bundled basis may choose to subscribe to network access from a competitor that provides these additional services.

Our potential customers may have unrelated business relationships with our competitors and consider those relationships when deciding between our services and those of our competitors. Many of our competitors are large facilities-based carriers that purchase substantial amounts of services or provide other services or goods unrelated to network access services. As a result, if a potential customer is also a supplier to one of our large competitors, or purchases unrelated services or goods from our competitor, the potential customer may be motivated to purchase its network access services from our competitor in order to maintain or enhance its

business relationship with that competitor. In addition, our current or potential carrier customers may already have or may consider buying services from mobility management solution providers which may impact our ability to sell our services to those customers as well as drive market prices down for the services that we offer.

Users may take advantage of free Wi-Fi networks for Internet and corporate access. Telecommunications providers may offer free Wi-Fi as part of a home broadband or other service contract, which may force down the prices which the market will bear for our services and could reduce our revenues.

We face strong competition in the market for managed network services, which could make it difficult for us to grow.

In the market for managed network services, we compete with a variety of large connectivity service providers, many of whom own their own networks. We see the competition from these larger service providers which own their own networks in two primary ways: first in that they can provide a broader range of network options (MPLS, Frame Relay, Wire line and Wireless Voice, etc.) and, second, they can integrate their separate products providing cross-product subsidization. There are also small regional players with a similar model to ours who compete with us. If we are not able to offer competitively priced offerings that are profitable for us, we may have difficulty growing our managed network services business.

If we fail to address market requirements, evolving standards and technological changes in the enterprise mobility services industry, our business could be harmed.

The market for enterprise mobility services and mobile devices (laptops, smart-phones, tablets and handhelds devices is characterized by evolving industry standards and specifications and rapid technological change; including; new access methods, devices, applications and operating systems. In developing and introducing our services, we have made, and will continue to make, assumptions with respect to which features, security standards, performance criteria, access methods, devices, applications and operating systems will be required or desired by enterprises and their mobile workers. If we implement technological changes or specifications that are different from those required or desired, or if we are unable to successfully integrate required or desired technological changes or specifications into our services, market acceptance of our services may be significantly reduced or delayed and our business could be harmed.

If our carrier and channel partners do not successfully market our enterprise mobility services to their customers, then our revenues and business may be adversely affected.

We sell our services directly through our sales force and indirectly through our channel partners, which include network service providers, systems integrators and value-added resellers. A large percentage of our sales outside the United States are made through our carrier and channel partners. Our business depends on the efforts and the success of these carrier and channel partners in marketing our services to their customers. Our own ability to promote our services directly to our carrier and channel partners’ customers is often limited. Many of our carrier and channel partners may offer services to their customers that may be similar to, or competitive with, our services. Therefore, these channel partners may not actively promote our services. If our channel partners fail to market our services effectively, our ability to grow our revenue could be reduced and our business may be impaired.

Our software is complex and may contain errors that could damage our reputation and decrease usage of our services.

Our software may contain errors that interrupt network access or have other unintended consequences. If network access is disrupted due to a software error, or if any other unintended negative results occur, such as the loss of billing information, a security breach, unauthorized access to our cloud-based platform or the introduction of a virus by our software onto our customers’ computers or networks, our reputation could be harmed and our

business may suffer. Our contracts generally limit our exposure to incidental and consequential damages and to the extent possible; we further limit our exposure by entering into insurance policies that are designed to protect our customers and us from these and other types of losses. If these contract provisions are not enforced or enforceable, or if liabilities arise that are not, effectively, limited, our operating results and financial condition could be harmed.

Global economic conditions may adversely affect our customers which directly impacts our business and results of operations.

Our operations and performance depend on our customers having adequate resources to purchase our services. Poor global economic conditions adversely impact our customers and potential customers. Such conditions cause our customers to alter their purchasing and payment activities in response to deterioration in the businesses, lack of credit, economic uncertainty and concern about the stability of markets in general, and under these circumstances our customers may reduce, delay or terminate purchases of, and payment for, our services. Poor economic conditions may cause certain of our current and prospective customers to merge with others, or cut expenditures, which may result in less demand for our services. In addition, poor economic conditions generally result in decreased business travel which results in decreased demand for our services. If we are unable to protect against these events or adequately respond to changes in demand resulting from deteriorating market and economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Events or conditions that result in a decrease in business travel could adversely affect our business.

If events or conditions occur that cause users of our services to decrease the amount that they travel, this could result in a substantial decrease in the demand for our services. Certain global or regional events such as outbreaks or fear of pandemics or terrorist events could severely restrict business-related travel and the use of our services. Further, if conditions improve following one of the aforementioned events business travel may not return to previous levels.

Because a meaningful portion of our business is international, we encounter additional risks, which may impact our revenues and profitability.

We generate a substantial portion of our revenues from international customers. Revenues from customers domiciled outside of the United States were approximately 38% of our revenues in 2010, of which approximately 30% and 7% were generated in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and Asia Pacific regions, respectively. We currently bill the majority of our services in U.S. Dollars and pay expenses in local currencies. Our international operations subject our business to specific risks that could negatively impact our business, including:

•

Generally longer payment cycles for foreign customers;

•

The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the attractiveness of our pricing and our operating results;

•

High taxes in some foreign jurisdictions;

•

Difficulty in complying with Internet-related regulations in foreign jurisdictions;

•

Difficulty enforcing intellectual property rights and weaker laws protecting these rights; and

•

Ability to efficiently deploy and generate returns in foreign jurisdictions.

Our reduced cash balances may impede our ability to make acquisitions or aggressively fund growth initiatives.

In 2009 and 2010, we returned a total of approximately $40 million in capital to our stockholders which consisted of approximately $34.0 million in extraordinary cash dividends and $5.9 million in stock repurchases.

Although we believe that we have sufficient cash to operate our business, we have significantly less cash with which to acquire additional technologies or other businesses if the opportunities arise. Further, if our cash flows were to decrease significantly, we will have less cash to support operations through any period of significant negative cash flow, which could cause us to have to decrease our expenditures on research and development and in other areas, which could negatively affect our business.

We may be exposed to credit risk, collection risk and payment delinquencies on our accounts receivable.

A substantial majority of our outstanding accounts receivables are not secured. Our standard terms and conditions permit payment within a specified number of days following the receipt of our services. While we have procedures to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on our receivables, there can be no assurance such procedures will effectively limit our collection risk and avoid losses. In addition, under poor economic conditions, certain of our customers have faced and may face liquidity concerns and have delayed and may delay or may be unable to satisfy their payment obligations, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could negatively affect our operating results.

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impact the re-measurement of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and generate foreign exchange gains and losses. In addition, certain of our network access costs are invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The transactional settlement of these outstanding liabilities generates foreign exchange gains and losses depending on the fluctuation of exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the various foreign currencies in which we do business between the date of invoicing and the date of payment. Accordingly, changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar could negatively affect our operating results. During 2010, we did not enter into any hedging contracts to manage foreign currency exposure.

Our sales cycles are lengthy and could require us to incur substantial costs that may not result in related revenues.

Our business is characterized by a lengthy sales cycle. In addition, once a contract with a customer is signed there is typically an extended period before the customer’s end users actually begin to use our services, which is typically when we begin to realize revenues. Furthermore, the release of our Open Mobile Platform and services may further extend the sales cycle. As a result, we may invest a significant amount of time and effort in attempting to secure a customer which may not result in any revenues. Even if we enter into a contract, we may have incurred substantial sales-related expenses well before we recognize any related revenues. If the expenses associated with sales efforts increase and, we are not successful in our sales efforts, or we are unable to generate associated offsetting revenues in a timely manner; our operating results could be harmed.

Security concerns related to Internet-based services could reduce demand for our services.

The secure transmission of confidential information when using Internet-based services is extremely important to our customers. Security and authentication concerns with respect to the transmission over the Internet of confidential information, such as corporate access passwords and the ability of hackers to penetrate online security systems may reduce the demand for our services. Further, new access methods, devices, applications and operating systems have also introduced additional vulnerabilities which have been actively exploited by hackers. Internet-based worms and viruses, computer programs that are created to slow Internet traffic or disrupt computer networks or files by replicating through software or operating systems, are examples of events or computer programs that can disrupt users from using our services and reduce demand for our services, potentially affecting our business and financial performance. Furthermore, any well-publicized compromises of confidential information may reduce demand for Internet-based services, including our services.

If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s internal network, our cloud-based platform may be perceived as not being secure and enterprises may curtail or stop using our services.

It is imperative for our customers that access to their mission critical data is secure. A key component of our ability to attract and retain customers is the security measures that we have engineered into our network for the authentication of the end user’s credentials. These measures are designed to protect against unauthorized access to our customers’ networks. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures against unauthorized access or sabotage. If an actual or perceived breach of network security occurs, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to our services, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed.

If licenses to third party technologies do not continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost, or at all, our business and operations may be adversely affected.

We license technologies from several software providers that are incorporated into our services. We anticipate that we will continue to license technology from third parties in the future. Licenses to third party technologies may not continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost, or at all. The loss of the right to use these technologies or other technologies that we license could have an adverse effect on our services and increase our costs or cause interruptions or delays in our services until substitute technologies, if available, are developed or identified, licensed and successfully integrated into our services.

Litigation arising out of intellectual property infringement could be expensive and disrupt our business.

We cannot be certain that our services do not, or will not, infringe upon patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties, or that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us. From time to time we have been, and we may continue to be, involved in disputes with these third parties. Any claim of infringement of proprietary rights of others, even if ultimately decided in our favor, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. Successful claims against us may result in an injunction or substantial monetary liability, which in either case could significantly impact our results of operations or materially disrupt the conduct of our business. If we are enjoined from using a technology, we will need to obtain a license to use the technology, but licenses to third-party technology may not be available to us at a reasonable cost, or at all.

Government regulation of, and legal uncertainties regarding, the Internet could harm our business.

Internet-based communication services generally are not subject to federal fees or taxes imposed to support programs such as universal telephone service. Changes in the rules or regulations of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission or in applicable federal communications laws relating to the imposition of these fees or taxes could result in significant new operating expenses for us, and could negatively impact our business. Any new law or regulation, U.S. or foreign, pertaining to Internet-based communications services, such as the recently enacted European Union legislation requiring network operators to notify customers of roaming rates prior to incurring roaming charges, or changes to the application or interpretation of existing laws, could decrease the demand for our services, increase our cost of doing business or otherwise harm our business. There are an increasing number of laws and regulations pertaining to the Internet. These laws or regulations may relate to taxation and the quality of services. Furthermore, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing intellectual property ownership and infringement, taxation, encryption, obscenity, libel, employment, personal privacy, export or import matters and other issues is uncertain and developing and we are not certain how the possible application of these laws may affect us. Some of these laws may not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address these issues could create uncertainty in the Internet market, which could reduce demand for our services, increase our operating expenses or increase our litigation costs.

Due to uncertainty in the application and interpretation of applicable state sales tax laws, we may be exposed to additional sales tax liability.

During 2009, we recorded a liability of approximately $5.0 million reflecting our best estimate of our potential sales tax liability and associated interest and penalties thereon. During 2010, we reduced this liability down to $2.9 million as a result of settlements with certain state tax authorities, payments and revised estimates. The application and interpretation of various state sales tax laws to certain of our services is uncertain. Accordingly, we may be exposed to additional sales tax liability to the extent various state jurisdictions determine that certain of our services are subject to their state’s sales tax. While we believe all of our estimates and assumptions, including settlements with certain taxing authorities, are reasonable and will be sustained upon audit, the actual liabilities may be more than such estimates, and if so, such liability may negatively impact our financial condition.

We do not believe that there is any published industry or line of business indices that are directly relevant to our line of business. In addition, we do not believe that we can construct a peer group index as many of the services similar to ours comprise a small portion of the business of the companies providing such services. Consequently, in addition to the NASDAQ Market Index, we are comparing our stock price performance to the Russell 2000 Index because we believe that this broad market index provides a good comparison of shareholder returns.

Stock Repurchases and Return of Capital

From September 2009 through December 2010, the Company returned approximately $40 million in cash to stockholders in the form of three special cash dividends totaling approximately $34 million and by repurchasing approximately $5.9 million of the Company’s common stock.

On November 3, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the “2009 Repurchase Program”) which authorized us to repurchase up to $10.0 million of outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or through negotiated transactions with any remaining portion to be returned to stockholders in the form of an extraordinary cash dividend by April 15, 2011.

Through December 31, 2010, we repurchased a total of approximately 5.0 million shares of iPass common stock at an average price of $1.17 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.9 million, including broker fees of approximately $0.1 million. In 2009, we returned approximately $30.0 million to stockholders in the form of two extraordinary cash dividends. In December 2010, we returned the remaining $4.0 million under the 2009 Repurchase Program to stockholders in the form of a third extraordinary cash dividend. This last extraordinary cash dividend, together with the $5.9 million common stock repurchased through December 31, 2010, completed our obligation to return $10.0 million of capital to stockholders under the 2009 Stock Repurchase Program.

Prior to 2009, we did not pay any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the future, although the declaration of any future cash dividend is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business conditions and other factors, as well as a determination that cash dividends are in the best interest of our stockholders.

Overview

We provide enterprise mobility services that assist the productivity of workers as they move between office, home and remote locations. Our services simplify mobility by providing the enterprise with a comprehensive platform that provides them with visibility, analytics and management and control of the connectivity, devices and mobility costs across their company. Our enterprise mobility services consist of our new Open Mobile services, our legacy Mobile Office offering, and our Network Services. Our Open Mobile services are based on our new Open Mobile Platform, which is a cloud-based services delivery system that gives the enterprise insight and control over definition and management of their mobility services. Our Mobile Office product has been the Company’s historic enterprise mobility offering, providing unified global connectivity, connectivity management and device management.

We also provide managed network services to enterprise customers, connecting the enterprise’s teleworkers, branch offices and retail locations. Our managed network solutions are used by enterprises in a range of industries.

We were incorporated in California in July 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in June 2000. Our principal executive offices are located in Redwood Shores, California.

Key Corporate Objectives

Our corporate objectives include continuing to develop our cloud-based Open Mobile Platform with innovative features, functionality and services in order to provide a leading and value-added integrated mobility offering to our enterprise customers and our carrier and channel partners. Our key objectives also includes migrating existing customers and adding new customers to our Open Mobile Platform as we believe this will

increase the number of monetized users at our existing customers and attract new enterprise customers and increasing the usage of our platform and services by our customers, both of which we view as important to driving stockholder value. For a detailed discussion regarding certain of our corporate objectives, see section entitled “Our Strategy” under “Item 1. Business.”

Significant Trends and Events

The following describes significant trends and events that impacted our financial condition, results of operations, and the direction of our business in 2010:

On-going development of our new cloud-based platform

We released the first version of our Open Mobile Platform in January 2010 and we’ve continued to develop and release updates to the platform with additional features and functionality. We believe this platform allows us to provide a compelling and value-focused set of integrated mobility offerings to the enterprise customers and to our channel and carrier partners.

Continued decline in dial-up revenue

As anticipated, we saw a significant decline of nearly $10.0 million in our dial-up revenue in 2010. This trend was primarily due to our customers’ continued migration from dial-up connections to faster broadband technologies. We expect the trend of declining dial-up revenue to continue during 2011.

Decline in minimum commitment revenue

We have customers that have signed contracts with us that commit them to minimum revenue commitments. Some of these contracts may be several years old and some customers may be paying iPass shortfall payments as a result of these minimum commitment terms. We have actively engaged with a number of our customers and have negotiated decreases to their minimum network commitments on a prospective basis. We have seen a decline in minimum commitment revenue due, in part, to these new arrangements. At the same time, with these renegotiated arrangements, we have often been able to secure longer contract terms, higher marginal pricing and/or commitments for our customers to migrate to Open Mobile Platform. We continue to see a decrease in the numbers of customers that have contracts with minimum network commitments. Minimum commitment network revenue decreased $5.2 million or 23% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009. Minimum commitments represent 11.1% of total revenue for year ended December 31, 2010.

While there are several factors impacting the full extent of future potential declines in minimum commitment shortfall revenue, we anticipate that this revenue will continue to decline for the foreseeable future.

Decrease in 3G mobile broadband network margin

In support of a component of our network services, we have agreements with a small number of domestic and international network service providers to provide 3G mobile broadband coverage for our enterprise customers. 3G mobile broadband margin for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased from 22% to 17%, compared to the same period in 2009. Our variable-based 3G network provider costs have generally increased more than our fixed-rate 3G revenue structure, adversely impacting our 3G network margins. We expect this trend to continue in 2011. In addition, the current 3G market is characterized by increased competition and pricing pressure which has resulted in decreasing 3G mobile broadband network margins.

Return of capital to stockholders

In 2010, we returned approximately $4.0 million of capital to stockholders in the form of an extraordinary cash dividend. This dividend, together with two extraordinary cash dividends of approximately $30.0 million paid to stockholders in 2009 and the $5.9 million of common stock repurchased through December 31, 2010 completed our commitment to return approximately $40 million in capital to stockholders by April 15, 2011 in the form of cash dividends and stock repurchases.

Settlement of certain sales tax obligations

We received a favorable settlement of certain sales tax obligations with a state taxing authority which resulted in a $2.1 million benefit that is included as a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Key Operating Metrics

Described below are key metrics that we use to evaluate our operating performance as well as our success in transforming our business and driving future growth.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)

Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as a measure of operating efficiency and overall operating and financial performance and for benchmarking against our peers and competitors. In addition, we also use this metric to determine the company bonuses. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to understand the company’s performance excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance and facilitates comparisons with other companies in the company’s industry, which may use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for interest expense net of interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; restructuring charges; and certain discrete items including the impairment of goodwill on long-lived assets, certain revenue adjustments related to the correction of historical billing errors and certain sales tax items. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
Adjusted EBITDA	$	811		$	7,406		$	4,035
Interest income		83			613			2,003
Benefit from income taxes		192			674			581
Depreciation of property and equipment		(3,326	)		(4,425	)		(5,540	)
Amortization of intangible assets		(428	)		(1,380	)		(3,901	)
Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets		—			—			(84,494	)
Stock-based compensation		(1,699	)		(2,316	)		(3,794	)
Restructuring charges		(887	)		(8,147	)		(858	)
Certain state sales and federal tax items		2,158			(5,030	)		—
Revenue adjustments related to the correction of historical billing errors		—			(887	)		—

Net loss	$	(3,096	)	$	(13,492	)	$	(91,968	)

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased from December 31, 2009 as a result of a $15.3 million net unfavorable impact from lower revenues, net of a decrease of $0.9 million relating to revenue adjustment due to historical billing errors in 2009, partially offset by lower network access costs of $1.4 million, favorable operating expenses (excluding operating expenses adjusted above) of approximately $7.3 million as a result of headcount and other expense reductions from restructuring activities and favorable impact of foreign exchange of $0.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2009 when compared to December 31, 2008 was positively impacted by a smaller net loss position despite the restructuring charges, sales tax liability accrual, and billing error adjustments to revenue. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2008 was impacted by a significant net loss offset by a large impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets charge and restructuring charge.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure of the performance of the company’s operations because it helps investors evaluate and compare the results of operations from period to

period by removing the accounting impact of the company’s financing strategies, tax provisions, and depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, material generally non-recurring sales tax and related charges, stock based compensation expense and certain infrequent operating items. We adjust for these excluded items because we believe that, in general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: their magnitude and timing is largely outside of the company’s control; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; they are unusual or infrequent and the company does not expect them to occur in the ordinary course of business; or they are non-operational, or non-cash expenses involving stock option grants.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Average Number of Monthly Monetized Users

We use this metric as an indicator of our penetration and usage of our services and as a high-level measure of the adoption of the value proposition of our offerings.

The number of monthly monetized users means the number of users for which a fee was billed by the Company to a customer for such users for the use of our platform services, network services (or both offerings) in a given month (i.e., a paying user). The average number of monthly monetized users means the average number of monetized users per month in a given year (i.e., adding the number of monetized EMS users for each of the three months and dividing by three to determine average per month in a given quarter and adding the monetized users for each of the four quarters and dividing by four). EMS monetized users consist of EMS monetized network users and EMS monetized platform users, with some overlap for users that pay for both services in a given month. EMS network users are unique users that used our network through Wi-Fi and Hotel Ethernet, dial-up or 3G network services. EMS platform users are unique users that paid us for the use of our platform through a distinct, bundled or annual fee.

The following diagram provides the relationship and quantification of the total Average Monthly Monetized Users for the year ended December 31, 2010 insofar as how many users paid for our platform services, network services and both:

The following table summarizes Average Number of Monthly Monetized Users:

The decline in network monetized users is primarily due to the anticipated decrease in dial-up and Wi-Fi users. The decrease in platform users is primarily due to the decline in users for which customers pay an annual business fee.

Monthly Order Value (“MOV”)

MOV is the average amount of new contractually committed monthly revenue over the term of a customer contract. We believe that MOV is a helpful metric in providing insight into how much incremental dollar value we contracted with customers in a period. Management uses MOV as an indicator of new customers’ willingness to enter into contractual commitments and existing customers’ willingness to enter into higher-dollar contractual commitments for our services. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, total MOV was relatively flat at $1.5 million, compared to $2.5 million for 2008. In 2010, the increases in Open Mobile Platform and MNS MOV were substantially offset by the declines in Dial-up and Wi-Fi MOV, thus resulting in a relatively flat MOV compared to 2009. The decrease from 2008 to 2009 was primarily due to the global economic downturn.

Network Gross Margin

We use network gross margin as a metric to assist us in assessing the profitability of our various network services. Our overall network gross margin percentage is defined as (total EMS network revenue plus MNS revenue less total network access costs) divided by (total EMS network revenue plus MNS revenue).


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
Network Gross Margin (%)		46.1	%		50.6	%		48.1	%

The decline in network gross margin by 4.5% from 2009 to 2010 was primarily due to a decline in higher margin dial-up revenue and minimum commitment revenues combined with increases in MNS network access costs and higher 3G costs. The revenue erosion in dial-up is due to our customer’s continued migration to alternative faster connectivity technologies while the decline in minimum commitment revenue is due to terminations and customers renewing their agreements at lower commit levels. The increase in MNS costs is due to higher average cost per endpoint as the mix of business shifted away from higher margin teleworker solutions to branch and retail and increase in 3G costs from higher customer usage on flat rate revenue plans. The increase in network gross margin by 2.5% from 2008 to 2009 was primarily due to the increase in network contribution margin from 3G and MNS due to higher revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and our belief of what could occur in the future considering available information, including assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature,

these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, income taxes, and allowance for doubtful accounts.

We believe our most significant estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are used in the following critical accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue recognition policy requires us to make certain estimates and judgments, for example, in the treatment of monthly minimum commitment (“MMC”) fees and MNS contracts.

For customers that have agreed to a MMC fee in connection with either broadband or dial-up usage, such customer’s monthly invoice reflects the greater of the customer’s actual usage during the month or the customer’s contractually committed monthly minimum for that month. If the MMC exceeds actual usage (“Shortfall”), we determine whether the Shortfall is fixed or determinable in accordance with the revenue recognition criteria. If we conclude that the Shortfall is fixed or determinable, based upon customer specific collection history, and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize as revenue the amount of the Shortfall which is invoiced. If the customer is in a Shortfall situation and it is determined that the Shortfall is not fixed or determinable, we recognize revenue only when the Shortfall is collected. MNS contracts are monthly flat fee contracts bundled with certain other upfront fees such as, one-time non-recurring fees, which include equipment fees, installation, management set up, and shipping fees. The monthly flat usage fee is recognized on a monthly basis, while other fees are recognized ratably over the estimated life of the end point. An end point represents a separate physical location, such as a branch office, retail office or virtual office. End point lives are estimated based on historical average end point life by product group. We periodically perform an analysis of estimated lives of the end points and revise the remaining term over which revenue will be recognized, if needed.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. This allowance is based on historical experience, credit evaluations, specific customer collection history and any customer-specific issues that we have identified, current economic trends and contractual terms and conditions. Changes in circumstances, such as an unexpected material adverse change in a customer’s ability to meet its financial obligation, may require us to further adjust our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the award’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis. Fair value for restricted stock awards is determined by the stock’s closing price on the grant date. The fair value of stock options and employee purchase rights granted in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is determined on the grant date and offering date, respectively using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We estimate expected volatility of our stock price based on historical volatility of our common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of our stock options and other relevant factors. To the extent volatility of our stock price increases in the future, our estimates of the fair value of options granted in the future could increase, thereby increasing stock-based compensation expense in future periods. We estimate the expected term based on the historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock awards granted to employees. We apply an expected forfeiture rate to our stock options and restricted stock awards and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. Our estimate of the forfeiture rate is based upon historical experience of employee turnover and other factors. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from our

expected rate, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly. To the extent we revise this estimate in the future, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the quarter of revision, as well as in following quarters. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period

Sales Taxes

Our sales and use tax filings are subject to customary audits by authorities in the jurisdictions where we conduct business, which may result in assessments of additional taxes. As a result of addressing a sales and use tax audit which was initiated in 2009, we determined that additional sales taxes were probable of being assessed for multiple states. Given the nature of our business model, the state conducting the sales tax audit agreed to work with us in developing the methodology that was used to estimate the incremental sales tax obligation. We have applied this same model to other states where this type of sales tax may also be applicable. In the third quarter of 2009, we estimated an incremental sales tax liability, including interest and penalties, of approximately $5.0 million. During 2010, we reduced this liability down to $2.9 million through sales tax payments, settlements with certain state tax authorities and revised estimates of the sales tax liability. Significant subjectivity exists as to both whether sales tax can be assessed on the activity for which the incremental sales tax amount is derived, and given the nature of our business model, how the sales tax will ultimately be measured by the relevant jurisdictions. Based on the developments associated with the ongoing sales and use tax audits and settlements with various states, we make a determination each reporting period whether the estimates for sales tax in certain states should be revised, and accordingly recognize additional sales tax obligations, including interest and penalties, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses.

While we have the ability and right to bill and collect the incremental sales tax, excluding interest and penalties, from our customers, several factors create significant uncertainty in determining whether recognition of an asset as a sales tax receivable is appropriate. The primary uncertainties include the following: (1) as disclosed above, significant judgment exists both as to the activity that gives rise to the incremental sales tax assessment and how the sales tax amount has been measured; (2) although we have identified the process to invoice incremental sales tax to our customers, we do not have a history of collecting on these types of sales taxes and therefore are unable to determine the amount recoverable; and (3) the estimated incremental sales tax relates to multiple periods which would make it more difficult to successfully collect the incremental sales tax from our customers. Accordingly, we have determined that we will not recognize an asset relating to this matter as we currently do not have the ability to estimate the amount that we will be able to collect from our customers. Collections received from customers in connection with the additional sales tax assessment will be recognized upon receipt. No collections from customers were received as of December 31, 2009. During 2010, we collected approximately $0.2 million of sales taxes from customers which were recognized in net income.

Accounting for Income Taxes

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income. We establish a valuation allowance if we determine that it is more likely than not that some portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. We include changes in the valuation allowance in our consolidated statements of operations as a provision for (benefit from) income taxes. We exercise significant judgment in determining our provisions for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and our future taxable income for purposes of assessing our ability to utilize any future tax benefit from our deferred tax assets.

When we assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. If recovery is not likely, we would increase our provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that we estimate will not ultimately be recoverable.

We account for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses to date, we have provided a full valuation allowance of $59.9 million against the majority of our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010, compared to $59.2 million at December 31, 2009. At each period end, we reassess our ability to realize our deferred tax assets. The factors we considered include, but are not limited to: (i) our historical cumulative net losses, after adjustment for permanent tax differences, over the previous three years through 2010; (ii) the dependence on continued high growth rates in achieving forecasted profitability; (iii) operation in an industry subject to rapid technological changes; (iv) the unknown impact of current negative macroeconomic factors on forecasted results of operations; and (v) consideration of tax strategies.

Results of Operations

From a broad perspective, we are reporting and analyzing revenue and operations under two primary offerings reflecting our two operating segments: EMS and MNS. In determining the segment operating income or loss, the items that are not allocated includes; amortization of intangibles, restructuring, incremental sales tax including penalties, and interest and impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets.

Sources of Revenues

Within our enterprise mobility services, we present revenue from three areas: (i) network revenue, (ii) platform revenue, and (iii) other fees and revenue. Network revenue consists of revenue primarily from the sale of access to our network of Wi-Fi hotspots, hotel Ethernet, and mobile broadband services such as 3G and narrowband access technologies, such as modem dial-up. Network revenues are derived primarily from two types of fee structures: usage-based, which is based on actual network usage, and fixed-rate per user per month fee structure. Network revenue also includes minimum commitment shortfall revenue. Platform revenue consists of revenues derived from the following services: iPassConnect client fees, Open Mobile Platform fees and other client/platform related fees. Other fees and revenue includes device management fees, professional services and other mobility-related fees and services.

Our MNS revenues are derived from the delivery of connectivity services offered to enterprise customers primarily through our iPass Branch, Retail and Home Office services. These revenues are based on monthly flat fee contracts based on each end point bundled with certain other upfront fees including, one-time non-recurring fees, which include equipment fees, installation, management set up, and shipping fees. An end point is a logical network “end point.” In all situations, this means a separate physical location—it could be a home (as for teleworkers) or a branch office (for branch and/or retail).

Network Revenue

The decline in EMS network revenue of approximately $14.4 million or 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to the continued and anticipated decline in dial-up revenue by approximately $9.8 million or 56% as well as the decline in minimum commitment revenue by approximately $5.2 million or 23%. The decline in dial-up revenue was due to customers continuing to migrate to alternative faster connectivity technologies while the decline in minimum commitment revenue was due to terminations of customer contracts and certain customers renewing their agreements at lower minimum commit levels.

The decline in network revenue by approximately $8.7 million or 7% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008 was driven by a $13.1 million anticipated decline in dial-up revenue, offset in part by a $6.0 million increase in 3G revenue usage.

Platform Revenue

Platform revenue increased by approximately $1.2 million or 8.1% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to increases in sale of legacy Mobile Office and new Open Mobile platform services. The decline in platform revenue by approximately $3.8 million or 20% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008 was due to a decrease in Mobile Office revenue and annual billed fees.

Other Fees and Revenue

Other fees and revenue decreased by approximately $1.2 million or 17.2% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009 primarily due to declining end-of-life fees as customers moved to current product releases. The decline in other fees and revenue by approximately $8.2 million or 55% for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to declining end-of-life fees of $3.2 million as customers moved to current product offerings, and lower sales of professional services and other fees, license and subscription fees of $4.9 million.

Operating Loss

The increase in EMS operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009 was due to a net reduction in revenue less network access costs of approximately $12.5 million offset by a decrease in other operating expenses of approximately $9.3 million from cost savings associated with the 2009 restructuring events.

The decrease in EMS operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in other operating expenses of approximately $14.9 million primarily due to lower departmental spend associated with 2009 restructuring activity, offset in part by a net reduction in revenue and network access costs of approximately $12.6 million.

MNS Revenue

The decrease in MNS revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to the anticipated customer terminations in the teleworker product resulting in approximately $1.8 million in lower revenues, offset in part by additions to our retail and branch customer base of approximately $0.9 million. The increase in MNS revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to an increase in end points in our core branch and retail office business.

Operating loss

The increase in MNS operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in gross margin of approximately $1.3 million due as a result of a decrease in revenue of approximately $0.9 million and an increase in network access costs of approximately $0.4 million. The decrease in MNS operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to efficiencies realized upon completion of the next generation operation management software system in 2008.

International Revenues


	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2010	2009			2008
United States	62%		61	%		61	%
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)	30%		30	%		28	%
Asia Pacific	7%		6	%		8	%
Rest of the world	1%		3	%		3	%

Revenues in the United Kingdom accounted for 9%, 10% and 9% of total revenues in 2010, 2009 and 2008 respectively. To date, all of our revenues have been denominated in U.S. Dollars. In the future some portion of revenues may be denominated in foreign currencies. No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

We expect that total revenue will decline in the first quarter of 2011 primarily driven by the decline in Network and MNS revenues which would also negatively impact the Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter and the fiscal year of 2011.

Operating Expenses

Network Access

Network access costs (“NAC”) consist principally of charges for access which we pay to our network service providers.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			Change $			Change %			2009			Change $			Change %			2008
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Network access costs	$	72,497		$	(1,440	)		(1.9	)%	$	73,937		$	(8,024	)		(9.8	)%	$	81,961
As a percent of revenue		46.4	%		—			3.3	%		43.1	%		—			0.3	%		42.8	%

The decrease in NAC for 2010 compared to 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in dial-up usage cost of approximately $2.8 million due to the decline in dial-up usage and a decrease in Wi-Fi costs of approximately $1.6 million, offset in part by an increase in 3G usage costs of approximately $2.6 million and MNS costs of $0.4 million.

The decrease in NAC for 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to dial-up user erosion, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in 3G usage costs.

Network Operations

Network operations expenses consist of compensation and benefits for our network engineering, customer support, network access quality personnel and outside consultants; transaction center fees; depreciation of our network equipment; costs of mobile data cards and allocated overhead costs.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			Change $			Change %			2009			Change $			Change %			2008
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Network operations expense	$	27,291		$	(2,153	)		(7.3	)%	$	29,444		$	(2,969	)		(9.2	)%	$	32,413
As a percent of revenue		17.5	%		—			0.3	%		17.2	%		—			0.3	%		16.9	%

The decrease in network operations expenses in 2010 compared to 2009 was predominantly due to lower headcount, back-office and infrastructure costs resulting from full year benefit of 2009 restructuring activities of approximately $3.2 million, offset in part by an increase in 3G Mobile Data Cards subsidized expense of approximately $1.0 million relating to the increased 3G cards shipped during the year.

The decrease in network operations expenses in 2009 compared to 2008 was predominantly due to lower headcount, back-office and infrastructure costs associated with 2009 restructuring activities of approximately $1.8 million and a decrease in depreciation and licenses of approximately $0.9 million.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of compensation and benefits for our research and development personnel, consulting, and allocated overhead costs.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			Change $			Change %			2009			Change $			Change %			2008
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Research and development expenses	$	13,794		$	(568	)		(4.0	)%	$	14,362		$	(2,019	)		(12.3	)%	$	16,381
As a percent of revenue		8.8	%		—			0.4	%		8.4	%		—			(0.2	)%		8.6	%

The decrease in research and development expenses in 2010 compared to 2009 was predominantly due to lower headcount, back-office and infrastructure costs resulting from full year benefit of 2009 restructuring activities.

The decrease in research and development expenses in 2009 compared to 2008 was predominantly due to lower headcount, back-office and infrastructure costs associated with 2009 restructuring activities of approximately $1.1 million and a decrease in depreciation and licenses of approximately $0.6 million.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of compensation, benefits, advertising, promotion expenses, and allocated overhead costs.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			Change $			Change %			2009			Change $			Change %			2008
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Sales and marketing expenses	$	24,874		$	(5,094	)		(17.0	)%	$	29,968		$	(11,172	)		(27.2	)%	$	41,140
As a percent of revenue		15.9	%		—			(1.6	)%		17.5	%		—			(4.0	)%		21.5	%

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses in 2010 compared to 2009 was predominantly due to lower headcount, back-office and infrastructure costs of approximately $3.6 million resulting from full year benefit of 2009 restructuring activities, and a $1.1 million reduction in general marketing plan spend.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses in 2009 compared to 2008 was predominantly due to lower headcount including commission expense, back-office and infrastructure costs of approximately $8.6 million associated with 2009 restructuring activities and a $1.5 million reduction in general marketing plan spend.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of compensation and benefits for general and administrative personnel, legal and accounting expenses, bad debt expense, and allocated overhead costs.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			Change $			Change %			2009			Change $		Change %			2008
	(In thousands, except percentages)
General and administrative expenses	$	19,809		$	(8,528	)		(30.1	)%	$	28,337		$	4,718		20.0	%	$	23,619
As a percent of revenue		12.7	%		—			(3.8	)%		16.5	%		—		4.2	%		12.3	%

The decrease in general and administrative expenses in 2010 compared to 2009 was driven primarily by a $7.2 million decrease in net sales tax expense including a $2.2 million benefit recognized in 2010 from settlements reached with state tax authorities which reduced a $5.0 million sales tax liability that was recorded in 2009, as well as a $1.0 million decrease in legal expenses related to a stockholder proxy contest in 2009.

The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2009 compared to 2008 was driven primarily by a charge of $5.0 million related to certain sales tax obligations and related interest and penalties and an increase in bad debt expense of $1.0 million, offset by lower stock based compensation expense of $0.9 million.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring charges were approximately $0.9 million, $8.1 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2009, we announced a restructuring plan (the “Q1 2009 Plan”) in order to reduce our operating costs and focus our resources on key strategic priorities, which resulted in reduction of our workforce by 68 positions across all functional areas and abandonment of certain facilities, for which the lease terms extend through April 30, 2015. We completed all terminations and during the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a total restructuring charge of approximately $0.4 million related to the Q1 2009 Plan.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we announced a restructuring plan (the “Q4 2009 Plan”) to align our cost structure and improve operating efficiencies, which resulted in a reduction of our workforce by 78 positions, abandonment of certain additional facilities and termination of a contract obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.4 million related to Q4 2009 Plan. We completed the workforce reductions during the first quarter of 2010. The lease terms for the abandoned facilities expire in February 2012. The obligation for the terminated contract was paid during January 2010.

Restructuring charges during 2010 for restructuring plans prior to the Q1 2009 Plan was $0.1 million and there are no remaining restructuring liabilities relating to this plan as of December 31, 2010.

The liability for net excess facilities costs is recorded at fair value. Any difference between the fair value of the liability at the measurement date and the total cash liability is accreted ratably over the remaining lease term. This accretion cost is included as a restructuring charge in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total accretion related to the Q1 2009 Plan that will be recognized through April 2015 is $0.3 million with a remaining balance of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2010.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $0.4 million, $1.4 million, and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recorded an intangible impairment charge of $3.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Asset

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that impairment in the value of goodwill recorded on our balance sheet may exist. Our stock price declined 83% over the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. This decline was considered a triggering event which led management to perform a valuation analysis to determine whether and to what extent goodwill may have been impaired as of December 31, 2008. As a result of this analysis, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded a charge of $79.8 million related to goodwill impairment which represented the full carrying value of goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet.

As part of the goodwill impairment analysis, we are required to assess our long-lived assets for impairment. During fiscal 2008, we recorded a charge of $1.3 million related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Interest Income

Interest income includes primarily interest income on cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances. Interest income was $0.1 million, $0.6 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest income declined from 2008 to 2009 and from 2009 to 2010 primarily due to decreased cash and investment balances as well as lower interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses) and Other Income (Expense)

Foreign exchange gains (losses) and other income (expense) primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and on non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets and liabilities. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impact the re-measurement of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and generate exchange gains or losses. In addition, certain of our network access costs are invoiced in currencies other than U.S. Dollars. The transactional settlement of these outstanding liabilities generates exchange gains or losses depending on the fluctuation of exchange rates between the date of invoicing and the date of payment. Prior to 2009, we periodically entered into forward contracts to partially manage foreign currency exposures. During 2010 and 2009, we did not enter into any hedging contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, foreign exchange gains (losses) were $0.1 million, ($0.6) million and ($1.1) million, respectively. Foreign exchange gains in 2010 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro.

Provision for Income Taxes

The benefit for income taxes was $0.2 million in 2010, compared to a benefit for income taxes was $0.7 million and $0.6 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The tax benefit realized in 2010 primarily related to a federal tax refund of $0.2 million related to a net operating loss carryback claim, and the reversal of FIN 48 reserves of $0.1 million related to an IRS audit settled during the year and a deferred tax benefit of $0.1 million related to our operations in India, all of which is partially offset by foreign and state income taxes of $0.2 million. The tax benefit realized in 2009 primarily related to a federal alternative minimum tax refund filed under the Unemployment Insurance Extension Legislation H.R. 3548, partially offset by foreign income taxes. The tax benefit realized in 2008 primarily related to settlements of a California income tax audit resulting in a tax refund of $0.7 million and receipt of income tax refunds of $0.2 million, partially offset by higher foreign income taxes.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2010 was $2.0 million compared to $6.3 million and $1.0 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. After adjusting net loss for non-cash items $1.4 million of cash was provided by operations in 2010 compared to $3.3 million of cash used by operations in 2009. Cash provided by changes in working capital was $0.6 million in 2010 compared to $9.5 million in 2009. The major driver of the 2009 change in working capital resulted from accrued expenses for restructuring and sales tax liability.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities in 2010 was $0.4 million, compared to $29.0 million provided from investing activities in 2009 and $35.8 million used in investing activities in 2008. The cash provided by liquidating investments of approximately $3.8 million was used for capital expenditures of $3.0 million and $1.1 million to pledge a letter of credit with a supplier. In 2009, $31.1 million of short-term investments were liquidated to fund financing activities and $2.1 million used for capital expenditures. In 2008, $30.8 million of cash was invested in short-term investments, $4.6 million was used for capital expenditures, and $0.4 million was pledged to fund a letter of credit with a supplier.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities in 2010 was $8.8 million, primarily due to a $4.0 million extraordinary cash dividend and $5.1 million in common stock repurchases to complete our obligation to return capital to stockholders. In 2010, cash generated from operating activities and liquidation of short-term investments were used to fund the return of capital and repurchase of common stock. Net cash used in financing activities in 2009 was $30.4 million, primarily due to the payment of extraordinary cash dividends of approximately $30.0 million and the repurchase of $0.8 million of common stock in fulfillment of a return of capital program. In 2009, cash generated from operating activities and liquidation of short-term investments were used to fund the return of capital and repurchase of common stock. Net cash used in financing activities in 2008 was $3.0 million primarily due to $3.7 million used for the repurchases of common stock offset by $0.6 million of cash received for stock option exercises and stock purchases through our employee stock purchase plan.

Sources of Cash and Future Cash Requirements

We have historically relied on existing cash and cash flow from operations for our liquidity needs. Key sources of cash are provided by operations and existing cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30.7 million and no short-term investments. We use a professional investment management firm to manage a large portion of our invested cash. The portfolio is invested primarily in money market accounts due within one year.

We believe that based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, our existing cash balances and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Primary Uses of Cash

Our principal use of cash in 2010 was for network access costs, payroll related expenses, general operating expenses including marketing, travel, office rent, stock repurchases, return of capital to shareholders, restructuring and capital expenditures.

Stock Repurchases. In November 2009, we announced a stock repurchase program which authorized the repurchase up to $10.0 million of outstanding common stock on the open market or through negotiated transactions. In the event that this $10.0 million stock repurchase program was not completed by March 31, 2011, we were obligated to dividend to stockholders any remaining balance by April 15, 2011. Since the beginning of the repurchase program through December 31, 2010, we repurchased a total of 5.0 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.9 million, including broker fees of approximately $0.1 million. Through December 31, 2009, we repurchased a total of 750,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $0.8 million. During 2008, we repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.7 million under the 2008 Stock Repurchase Program.

Return of Capital. In 2010, we returned $.07 per share or approximately $4.0 million to stockholders in the form of an extraordinary cash dividend on December 17, 2010 to stockholders of record on November 18, 2010. In 2009 we returned approximately $30.0 million in capital to our stockholders in the form of two extraordinary cash dividends.

With the stock repurchases and cash dividends described above, we have fulfilled our prior commitment to return $40 million in capital to stockholders.

Restructuring. In the first quarter of 2009, we announced a restructuring plan in order to reduce our operating costs and focus our resources on key strategic priorities. In the fourth quarter of 2009 we announced a restructuring plan to align our cost structure and improve operating efficiencies. Cash used for restructuring activities was $3.9 million, $4.6 million, and $2.0 million in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

In 2011, we expect to use cash to fund ongoing operating activities and capital investments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not participate in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities. We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Commitments

At December 31, 2010, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

(1)	In the normal course of our business, we have signed contracts with certain network service and mobile data providers under which we have minimum purchase commitments. These commitments expire on various dates through April 2013.

In addition to the contractual obligations disclosed above, we have unrecognized tax benefits including estimated gross interest and penalties of $4.8 million and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third-parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. We maintain director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from our obligation to indemnify our directors and certain of our officers and employees, in certain circumstances. iPass’ product agreements typically include a limited indemnification provision for claims from third parties relating to breach of agreements, and iPass’ intellectual property. Certain indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. If the potential loss from any indemnification claim is considered probable and the amount or the range of the loss can be estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. To date, claims under such indemnification provisions have not been significant.

Item 7A. Quantitative

and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in conducting business globally in numerous currencies, of which the most significant to our operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 were the Euro, the British pound, and the Indian Rupee. We are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations related to network access costs denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As such, we benefit from a stronger U.S. Dollar and may be adversely affected by a weaker U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency. Currently, we do not enter into any hedging arrangements. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations is also discussed in “Foreign exchange gains (losses) and other income (expense)” under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $33.8 million and no short-term investments. The portfolio is invested primarily in money market accounts generally due within one year and, as a result, we are not exposed to any material interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash of $43.7 million, the majority of which were held in the form of money market accounts.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such terms is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management of the company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria. KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an auditor’s report on the effectiveness of iPass’ internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010 there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed 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 iPass have been detected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

iPass Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of iPass Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the accompanying financial statement schedule. We have also audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iPass Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,

presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iPass Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for the company and all of the subsidiaries; therefore, the Company does not have a translation adjustment recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified from network operations to general and administrative expense for 2008 to conform to the 2009 and 2010 presentation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Specifically, the Company determined that certain internal IT costs were more appropriately classified as general and administrative costs rather than network operations cost. These internal IT costs totaled $2.4 million reclassed from network operations to general and administrative expenses in 2008.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, requires management to make estimates and judgments that affects the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimated are used for, but not limited to valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, legal contingencies, income taxes, sales tax liabilities, and restructuring costs. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. The actual results that the Company experiences may differ materially from its estimates.

Cash Equivalents

Generally, all highly-liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of investments in institutional money market funds.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments are comprised of fixed income securities with maturities of 12 months or less and are classified as available-for-sale at the respective balance sheet dates. Investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices, and any temporary difference between the cost and fair value of an investment is presented as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The specific identification method is used to determine the gains and losses on investments.

Restricted Cash

The Company’s restricted cash consists of cash deposited with Silicon Valley Bank in connection with an irrevocable letter of credit issued to a network service provider. The total amount of restricted cash was $3.0 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is classified within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

cash equivalents are held by two financial institutions. The Company is exposed to risk in the event of default by these financial institutions or the issuers of these securities to the extent the balances are in excess of amounts that are insured by the FDIC.

The Company’s receivables are derived from revenue earned from customers located primarily in the United States and Europe. The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and requires no collateral to secure accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable based on its assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on customer-specific identification, which encompasses various factors, including; the Company’s review of credit profiles of its customers, age of the accounts receivable balances, contractual terms and conditions, current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and historical payment experience.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no individual customer represented 10% or more of accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, no individual customer represented more than 10% of total revenues.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, one supplier accounted for 16% of total network access expenses, no other individual supplier represented more than 10%. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no individual supplier represented 10% or more of total network access expenses.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are as follows:

•

Equipment: 3 years.

•

Furniture and fixtures: 5 years.

•

Computer software: 3-5 years.

•

Leasehold improvements: the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the term of the underlying lease.

Goodwill and Identified Intangibles

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful life ranging between 4 to 8 years. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying amount of its intangible assets when events or changes in business circumstances have occurred which indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully realizable. Determination of impairment is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the Company determines these assets have been impaired, an impairment charge is recorded based on the amount that the net book value exceeds the fair value.

Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually in the Company’s fourth quarter, or more frequently if there are changes in facts and circumstances indicating that the fair value may be less than its carrying amount. In performing its annual impairment analysis of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2008, the

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Company determined that the full carrying value of goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $79.8 million. In conjunction with the goodwill impairment testing, the Company also analyzed the fair values of its intangible assets and concluded that certain of those assets were also impaired resulting in an additional $4.7 million impairment charge. Both impairment charges were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company’s policy with respect to its undistributed foreign subsidiaries’ earnings is to consider those earnings to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no related provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided. The major foreign jurisdictions where the Company has operations includes India and the U.K. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes in the various foreign countries. At December 31, 2010, the cumulative undistributed earnings approximated $10.1 million.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent management believed these assets would more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event management was to determine that the Company would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties relating to income taxes as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the award’s requisite service period on a straight-line basis. Fair value for restricted stock awards is determined by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options and employee purchase rights granted in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility of stock price is based on historical volatility and is an input into the option-pricing model. The expected term is based on the historical average term and is an input into the option-pricing model. An expected forfeiture rate is applied to stock options and restricted stock awards and expense is recognized for those shares expected to vest. The expected forfeiture rate is based upon historical experience of employee turnover and other factors. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from the expected rate, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when all four revenue recognition criteria have been met; persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, service has been provided to the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, when the above criteria are not met, revenue is deferred and recognized either only upon cash collection, upon acceptance of a completion certificate from the customer, when the product is shipped, or ratably over a period of time, depending on the type of fee or service arrangement.

Network Fees

The Company recognizes usage fees during the period the services are rendered to the end users based on usage or a flat fee. Historically, the Company frequently required customers to commit to minimum network usage fees associated with monthly, quarterly or annual minimum network usage over the term of the arrangement. For those minimum commitments not considered to be fixed or determinable in accordance with revenue recognition criteria, the Company will recognize minimum commitment revenue only upon cash collection. For customers that have agreed to a Minimum Monthly Commitment (MMC), the customer’s monthly invoice reflects the greater of the customer’s actual usage for the month or the MMC for that month. If the MMC exceeds actual usage (a “Shortfall”), the Company determines whether the Shortfall is fixed or determinable in accordance with revenue recognition criteria. If the Company concludes that the Shortfall is fixed or determinable, based upon customer specific billing history, and other recognition criteria have been met, the Company recognizes as revenue the amount of Shortfall which is invoiced. If the customer is in a Shortfall situation and it is determined that the Shortfall is not fixed or determinable, the Company recognizes revenue only when the Shortfall is collected.

Platform Services and Fees

Platform and iPC services are any services that allow a user to connect to a network using iPass software. Fees for this service are typically based upon a monthly rate, and revenue is recognized during the month the services are provided. Revenue related to iPC fees and Open Mobile Platform fees which are typically based upon a monthly rate (per user rate or a flat fee) are recognized during the month the services are provided. Annual business fees typically represent subscription fees and are deferred at the time of billing and recognized over 12 months. Start-up support service fees representing charges to new customers, customization services and standard training are recognized over the term of the contract.

MNS Contract Fees

Managed network services (“MNS”) contracts are monthly flat fee contracts bundled with certain other upfront fees such as, one-time non-recurring fees, which include equipment fees, installation, management set up, and shipping fees. The monthly flat usage fee is recognized on a monthly basis, while other fees are recognized ratably over the estimated life of the end point. An end point represents a separate physical location, such as a branch office, a retail office or a virtual office. End point lives are estimated based on historical average end point life by product group. The Company periodically performs an analysis of estimated lives of the end points and revises the remaining term over which revenue will be recognized, if needed.

Deferred Revenue

The Company defers revenue for services that are billed in advance or prepaid as required per customer agreements. Revenue is recognized as the services are being performed, or ratably over the contract term,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

depending on the nature of the service, such as maintenance, annual business fees and certain professional services. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within one year are classified as short-term.

Network Access Costs

Network access costs represent the amounts paid to network access providers for the usage of their networks. The Company has minimum purchase commitments with some network service providers for access that it expects to utilize during the term of the contracts. Costs of minimum purchase contracts are recognized as network access costs at the greater of the minimum commitment or actual usage.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $45,000, respectively.

Software Development Costs

The Company follows the guidance set forth in The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Under this guidance, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of a product’s technological feasibility, which is generally the completion of a working model of the product and amortization begins when a product is available for general release to customers. The period between the achievement of technological feasibility and the general release of products has typically been of short duration and costs incurred during this period have not been material. Accordingly, the Company had no software development costs capitalized on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010.

In addition, the Company follows the guidance set forth in ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, (“ASC 350-40”), in accounting for the development of its application service. ASC 350-40 requires companies to capitalize qualifying computer software costs, which are incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalized $0.5 million during fiscal 2010, and zero in 2009 and 2008. Amortization expense during fiscal 2010 was immaterial. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the software, which is five years.

Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. There were no impairments to internal use software during the years ended December 31, 2010.

Note 3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling of an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Fair Value Hierarchy

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

•

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

•

Level 3—Represents financial assets whose fair value is determined based upon inputs that are unobservable, including the Company’s own determinations of the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company currently does not own any assets measured as Level 3.

The fair value of these financial assets (excluding cash) and nonfinancial liabilities were determined using the following inputs at December 31, 2010 (in thousands):


	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total nonfinancial liabilities	$	1,641	$	—	$	—	$	1,641

(1)	Included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

(2)

Generally lease liabilities were recorded at fair value and are included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The lease liability was recorded in connection with the lease abandonment plans implemented in the first quarter and fourth quarter of 2009 (see Note 9 for further discussion of the restructuring plan). Management made assumptions in determining the fair value of the lease liability. Inputs to the present value technique to determine fair value included observable inputs, such as the future rent payment schedule, the discount rate and estimated net sublease income through the end of the lease term. However, the assumption about when the Company will be able to sublease its facility and related costs are considered to be significant unobservable inputs. Management considers 6 months to be a reasonable period of time to sublease its facilities based on current market trends.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, closely approximates fair value as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Note 9. Restructuring and Other

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the “Q4 2009 Plan”) to reduce its workforce by approximately 78 positions, abandon certain additional facilities and terminate a contract obligation. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $0.4 million related to Q4 2009 Plan. The Company completed the workforce reductions during the first quarter of 2010. The lease terms for the abandoned facilities expire in February 2012. The obligation for the terminated contract was paid during January 2010.

In the first quarter of 2009, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the “Q1 2009 Plan”) to reduce its workforce by 68 positions across all functional areas and abandoned certain facilities, for which the lease terms extended through April 30, 2015. The Company has completed all terminations and during the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a total restructuring charge of approximately $0.4 million related to the Q1 2009 Plan.

Restructuring charges during 2010 for restructuring plans prior to the Q1 2009 Plan was $0.1 million and there are no remaining restructuring liabilities relating to this plan as of December 31, 2010

Generally, the liability for net excess facilities costs is recorded at fair value. Any difference between the fair value of the liability at the measurement date and the total cash liability is accreted ratably over the remaining lease term. This accretion cost is included as a restructuring charge in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Total accretion related to the Q1 2009 Plan that will be recognized through April 2015 is $0.3 million with a remaining balance of $0.2 million as of December 31, 2010. In addition, total accretion related to facilities abandoned in the 2006 restructuring plan (the “Q4 2006 Plan”) recognized during 2010 is $0.1 million.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has classified approximately $1.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of the restructuring liability in accrued liabilities and the remaining restructuring liability of approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in long-term liabilities based on the Company’s expectation that the remaining lease payments will be paid over the remaining term of the related leases (net of expected sublease income). In addition, net restructuring charges for the Q4 2009 Plan and Q1 2009 Plan include adjustments of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, due to changes in estimated sublease assumptions.

Note 10. Income Taxes

Loss before income taxes includes income from foreign operations of approximately $2.1 million, $1.5 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010, approximately $23.9 million of the total valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relates to net operating loss and credit carryforwards attributable to acquired entities. These net operating loss and credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Also included in the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2010 is approximately $2.2 million related to Israel.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had gross cumulative net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax reporting purposes of approximately $126.5 million and $84.4 million, respectively, which expire in various periods between 2011 and 2030. Under current tax law, net operating loss carryforwards available in any given year may be limited upon the occurrence of certain events, including significant changes in ownership interest. In addition, the Company has federal net operating losses of $5.9 million and state net operating losses of $6.1 million related to stock options which vested prior to the adoption of new accounting guidance for Share-Based Payments in January 2006.

The Company also has research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $3.0 million and $4.6 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, the federal carryforwards will expire in various amounts through 2030. The state tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):


Balance at January 1, 2010	$	3,863
Increases for positions taken in prior years		91
Increases for positions related to the current year		1,051
Settlements with taxing authorities		(174	)

Balance at December 31, 2010	$	4,831

The increase in unrecognized tax benefits primarily relates to the establishment of federal and state net operating loss reserves related to the timing of deducting transfer pricing payments made to controlled foreign corporations, less the settlement of an IRS audit.

If these unrecognized tax benefits should become recognizable at a future time, $4.2 million would be recognized as deferred tax assets, offset by a valuation allowance, and the remaining balance of $0.6 million would be released into income.

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in 2011. Decreases in the unrecognized tax benefits will result from the lapsing of statutes of limitations and the possible completion of tax audits in various jurisdictions. Increases will primarily result from tax positions expected to be taken on tax returns for 2011.

The continuing practice of the Company is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes which were not considered material during 2010, 2009, and 2008.

The Company’s major taxing jurisdictions are U.S. Federal, California, the U.K. and India. In the normal course of the Company’s business, the Company is subject to income tax audits in various jurisdictions. Years 2006 to 2010 remain open to examination by certain of these major taxing jurisdictions. The Company currently has income tax audits in progress in India and has accrued approximately $0.5 million in connection with these audits.

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company has two stock plans that permit it to grant stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units—one for employees (“Employee Plan”) and one for directors (“Director Plan”). Stock options generally vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date with the remainder vesting ratably over the following 36 months; stock options generally expire 10 years after the date of grant. Restricted stock awards give the recipient the right to receive shares upon the lapse of the instruments’ time and/or performance based restrictions. The restricted stock awards with time-based restrictions are considered outstanding at the time of grant, as the holders are entitled to dividends and voting rights. Employees may surrender a portion of their award shares to pay for related employee payroll taxes. The restricted stock awards and restricted stock units with performance-based restrictions are not considered outstanding until the performance criteria have been met and therefore are not entitled to dividends or voting rights at the time of grant. The performance-based restricted stock awards vest upon the achievement of pre-defined earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (“EBITA”) performance metrics. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had granted a total of 959,873 shares of performance-based restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, 100,000 of which had vested as the performance goals had been met. No compensation expense is recognized for this unvested performance-based restricted stock.

The number of shares authorized for issuance under the Employee Plan is automatically increased 5% annually; however, in 2006 the Board of Directors suspended the automatic increase for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008. The automatic annual increase was reinstated during 2009. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the Director Plan is automatically increased by 250,000 shares annually. As of December 31, 2010, 22,108,629 shares were authorized for grant under the Employee Plan and Director Plan.

The total grant date fair value of the restricted awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was approximately $0.4 million, $0.4 million, and $3.7 million, respectively, which will be recognized over the requisite service periods.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which permits employees to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% on an employee’s compensation, including commissions, overtime, bonuses and other incentive compensation. The purchase price per share is equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value per share at the beginning of the offering period, or 85% of the fair market value per share on the semi-annual purchase date. The number of shares reserved under the ESPP increases annually by 1% of the total number of shares outstanding at the end of the prior year. As of December 31, 2010, the company reserved 5.1 million shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP plan and approximately 2.9 million shares remain available for future issuance.

Compensation cost related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan is calculated using the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights granted. The estimated fair value of employee purchase rights granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
Risk-free rate		0.16	%		0.16	%		0.74	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%		0	%
Expected volatility		57	%		60	%		67	%
Expected life		0.5 to 1 year			0.5 to 1 year			0.5 to 1 year

Note 12. Return of Capital and Repricing of Stock Options

In 2009, the Company returned approximately $30.0 million to stockholders in the form of two extraordinary cash dividends. The first dividend of approximately $20.0 million or $0.32 per share was paid on September 17, 2009 to stockholders of record as of August 31, 2009. In accordance with an amendment approved by the Company’s stockholders on August 18, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors subsequently adjusted the exercise price of 8,434,529 outstanding stock options from an original weighted-average exercise price of $3.62 to $3.13. The incremental fair value of the adjusted options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: Expected term of 4.25 years; Expected volatility of 51.7%; Risk free interest rate of 1.96%; and Expected Dividend Yield of 0%. Also in accordance with the amendment, the Board of Directors granted 368,624 new stock options and 114,285 new performance stock awards. The performance stock awards had a fair market value on the date of grant of $1.37 per share (collectively the “September Repricing”).

The second dividend of approximately $10.0 million or $0.16 per share was paid on December 18, 2009 to stockholders of record as of December 4, 2009. Again, in accordance with an amendment approved by stockholders on August 18, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors subsequently further adjusted the exercise price of 8,428,745 outstanding stock options from an original weighted average exercise price of $2.82 to $2.50. The incremental fair value of the adjusted options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: Expected term of 3.8 years; Expected volatility of 54.3%; Risk free rate of 1.69%; and Expected Dividend Yield of 0%. The Board of Directors also granted 208,000 new stock option

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

grants and 97,311 new performance stock awards. The performance stock awards had a fair market value on the date of grant of $0.95 per share (collectively the “December 2009 Repricing”).

In 2010, the Company returned approximately $4.0 million or $0.07 per share to stockholders in the form of an extraordinary cash dividend, which was paid on December 17, 2010 to stockholders of record as of November 18, 2010. In accordance with an amendment approved by the Company’s stockholders on August 18, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors subsequently adjusted the exercise price of 9,895,614 outstanding stock options from an original weighted average exercise price of $2.02 to $1.91. The incremental fair value of the adjusted options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: Expected term of 3.81 years; Expected volatility of 54.1%; Risk free interest rate of 1.27%; and Expected Dividend Yield of 0%. Also in accordance with this plan, the Board of Directors granted 59,033 additional stock options and 48,277 additional performance stock awards. The performance stock awards had a fair market value on the date of grant of $1.15 per share (collectively the “December 2010 Repricing”).

The adjustment of existing options and issuance of new stock options and performance stock awards was intended to address the diminution in value to the option from the extraordinary cash dividend and to attempt to preserve the option’s intrinsic value (amount of value the option holder would receive upon immediate exercise and sale of the underlying stock) that existed prior to the extraordinary cash dividend. This completed the Company’s commitment to return $40 million of capital to stockholders in the form of dividends and stock repurchases. For further details on stock repurchases, see Note 13.

In connection with the adjusted options and issuance of new options and performance stock awards, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million in 2010 relating to the December Repricings and approximately $0.1 million for the two Repricings in 2009, which is included in the total stock based compensation expense of approximately $1.7 million and $2.3 million recognized during the year ended 2010 and 2009, respectively. The remaining unamortized fair value of the adjusted options and new options and performance stock awards of approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, will be recognized ratably over the remaining requisite service period of the underlying awards or as performance criteria are met.

Note 13. Stock Repurchase Program

On November 3, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $10.0 million stock repurchase program (the “2009 Repurchase Program”) that extends through March 31, 2011. Under this program the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $10.0 million of outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or through negotiated transactions. Through December 31, 2010, the Company had repurchased a total of 5.0 million shares of common stock at an average price of $1.17 per share for a total cash outlay of approximately $5.8 million, excluding broker fees of approximately $0.1 million. Through December 31, 2009, the Company had repurchased a total of 0.75 million shares of common stock at an average price of $1.09 per share for a total cash outlay of approximately $0.8 million.

In February 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which authorized the Company to repurchase up to $30.0 million of outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or through negotiated transactions. Through December 31, 2008, the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.7 million. On November 3, 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors terminated this stock repurchase program. There was no stock repurchase activity in 2009 relating to the 2008 stock repurchase program.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases and Purchase Commitments

The Company leases facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through October 2016. Certain leases are cancellable prior to lease expiration dates. Future minimum lease payments under these operating leases, including payments on leases accounted for under the Company’s restructuring plan, as of December 31, 2010, are as follows (in thousands):


	Operating Leases
Year ending December 31:
2011	$	3,022
2012		2,048
2013		1,752
2014		1,810
2015		610

	$	9,242

Included in the table above, the Company has approximately $1.6 million in facility lease obligations which are included in accrued restructuring liabilities. Rent expense for operating leases, excluding leases accounted for under the Company’s restructuring plan for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 and 2007 was $2.7 million, $3.9 million, and $5.0 million, respectively.

The Company has contracts with certain network service and mobile data providers which have minimum purchase commitments that expire on various dates through April 2013. Future minimum purchase commitments are as follows (in thousands):


Year ending December 31:
2011	$	4,628
2012		863
2013		31

	$	5,522

Sales Tax Liabilities

The Company’s sales and use tax filings are subject to customary audits by authorities in the jurisdictions where it conducts business in the United States, which may result in assessments of additional taxes. During fiscal year 2009, the Company determined that additional sales taxes were probable of being assessed for multiple states as a result of the preliminary findings specific to a sales and use tax audit that had been initiated in the same year. As a result, the Company estimated an incremental sales tax liability of approximately $5.0 million, including interest and penalties, where applicable, of approximately $1.5 million during fiscal year 2009. The estimated incremental sales and use tax liability was based on a similar model that was being used by the state conducting the sales and use tax audit during 2009.

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The following is a summary of the incremental sales and use tax liability activity, including penalties and interest during fiscal 2010:


Balance at January 1, 2010	$	4,987
Payments to state taxing authorities		(324	)
Increases		338
Adjustments		(2,083	)

Balance at December 31, 2010	$	2,918

Increases during 2010 primarily related to additional penalties and interest that was accrued in connection with the incremental sales tax that was assessed. Several states have also accepted voluntary disclosure agreements initiated by the Company which require the Company to remit payment for past sales and use taxes. The amount remitted is based on a mutual agreement with the respective state and generally does not require the Company to pay penalties. Adjustments primarily represent the difference between the amounts settled with the respective state and the related accrual, including penalties and interest. Adjustments are recognized as a benefit or expense at the time of settlement and are included in general and administrative expenses. The most recent voluntary disclosure agreement was received during January 2011 and was considered by the Company in determining the incremental sales and use tax accrual at December 31, 2010. For this particular voluntary disclosure agreement, the state agreed to waive interest as well as penalties.

The Company has the ability and right to bill and collect the incremental sales and use tax, excluding interest and penalties, from its customers. The Company has not recognized an asset relating to the incremental sales and use tax that the Company has invoiced its customers as the Company currently does not have the ability to estimate the amount that it will be able to collect. Although the Company has completed billing its customers for incremental sales and use tax, sufficient collection history has not been established. Through December 31, 2010, the Company has collected 10.7% of the total amount billed relating to the incremental sales and use tax. Accordingly, proceeds received through December 31, 2010 totaling $0.2 from customers, in connection with billing for incremental sales and use tax, have been recognized as a reduction of general and administrative expense.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of any litigation involving the Company, management does not believe any such pending legal proceeding or claim will result in a judgment or settlement that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third-parties. Certain indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. If the potential loss from any indemnification claim is considered probable and the amount or the range of the loss can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. To date, claims under such indemnification provisions have not been significant.

Note 15. Employee 401(k) Plan

Substantially all of the Company’s employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) plan, which provides for discretionary Company matching up to 50% of employee contributions up to 6% of an

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

employee’s total compensation. The Company provided no matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and provided $0.6 million in matching contributions for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Note 16. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding participating securities. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares from the issuance of stock options and awards using the treasury-stock method. As the Company was in a net loss position for all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are equal to each other as the weighted average number of shares used to compute diluted net loss per share excludes anti-dilutive securities, including participating securities.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			2009			2008
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(3,096	)	$	(13,492	)	$	(91,968	)

Denominator:
Denominator for basic and diluted net loss per common share
Weighted average shares outstanding		58,693,061			62,032,897			61,179,969
Basic and diluted net loss per common share	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.22	)	$	(1.50	)

The following potential shares of common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		2009		2008
Options to purchase common stock		9,923,801		8,614,275		7,121,401
Unvested restricted stock awards, considered participating securities		976,697		994,042		1,391,154

The weighted-average exercise price of options to purchase common stock excluded from the computation was $1.87, $2.50, and $5.39 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Note 17. Segment and Geographical Information

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income or loss.

During the year, new segment information was provided to the CODM to aid in allocating resources and assessing performance. As such, effective September 30, 2010, the Company is reporting two operating segments: Enterprise Mobility Services (“EMS”) and Managed Network Services (“MNS”).

iPASS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The Company’s Enterprise Mobility Services segment includes services that help enterprises manage the networks, connections and devices used by their mobile workforce. The Company’s Managed Network Services Segment involves enterprise remote and branch office connectivity.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment profit or loss from operations before income taxes, not including amortization of intangibles, restructuring and sales tax, penalties and interest. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those the Company uses for its consolidated financial statements. All direct costs are allocated to respective segments. In addition to direct costs, each segment has indirect costs. Indirect costs that are allocated to each segment include certain costs of facilities, certain employee benefits and payroll tax expenses, and certain additional shared services in management, finance, legal, human resources, and information technology. The methodology used to allocate indirect costs are headcount, salaries and segment revenue contribution. The total operating costs allocated to each segment for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $160.4 million, $171.0 million, and $195.5 million, respectively. The Company does not allocate to its reportable segments amortization of intangibles, restructuring and any associated adjustments related to restructuring actions, and sales tax penalties and interest. By definition, segment operating income excludes interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and income taxes.

Revenue and operating income (loss) for each reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were as follows (in thousands):


	Year Ended December 31,
	Net Revenue		Total Segment Operating Income (Loss)
2010
Enterprise Mobility Services	$	128,675		(2,711	)
Managed Network Services		27,405		(1,632	)

Total Segment	$	156,080		(4,343	)

Managed Network Services		27,636		(2,327	)

Total Segment	$	191,368		(4,146	)

Prior-period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the new segment reporting.

Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discreet asset information. Accordingly, no segment assets have been reported.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Depreciation allocated to the EMS segments for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $3.0 million, $4.1 million, and $5.0 million, respectively. Depreciation allocated to the MNS segments for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.

No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, or 2008. International revenues are determined by the location of the customer’s headquarters.
