1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which in our opinion are necessary to fairly state our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The December 31, 2008, balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in our most recent Annual Report filed on Forms 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Software Development

Costs to develop software for internal use are required to be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we capitalized $5.9 million and $0.2 million related to software development, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we capitalized $11.5 million and $0.2 million related to software development, respectively. This capitalization primarily related to the development of our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and new data management and reporting infrastructure. We expect these investments to drive long-term operational efficiencies across the organization and provide further competitive differentiation.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net earnings under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Items of comprehensive income are unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments and foreign currency translation adjustments which are added to net income to compute comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is net of income tax benefit or expense.

The components of comprehensive income are (in thousands):

Foreign Currency

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FAS 133” (SFAS 161) during the first quarter of 2009. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments

DIGITAL RIVER, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

and Hedging Activities”(SFAS 133). The Statement does not affect amounts reported in the financial statements; it only expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our primary risk is the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency denominated operating sales and expenses. Substantially all of our foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. At June 30, 2009, these exposures were mitigated by the use of foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of approximately one week. All of our derivatives are not designated as hedges under the provisions of SFAS 133 and are adjusted to fair value through income each period. The principal currency exposure being mitigated was the euro. Our foreign currency contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements.

Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the reported period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as a component of equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized as other expense, “net”. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, derivative exposure was immaterial.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28-1 (FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1). This FSP amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and APB No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting.” This FSP requires publicly-traded entities to disclose the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2“Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-temporary impairments” (FSP SFAS 115-2). This FSP is intended to provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to communicate more effectively when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. FSP SFAS 115-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities. The new guidance improves the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities and changes the calculation of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings in the financial statements. FSP SFAS 115-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairment of equity securities.

For debt securities, FSP SFAS 115-2 requires an entity to assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the debt security, or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, an other-than-temporary impairment on the security must be recognized.

In instances in which a determination is made that a credit loss (defined by FSP SFAS 115-2 as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis) exists but the entity does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis (i.e., the amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss), FSP SFAS 115-2 changes the presentation and amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the income statement.

FSP SFAS 115-2 is effective and is to be applied prospectively for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. When adopting FSP SFAS 115-2, an entity is required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from “Retained earnings” to “Accumulated other comprehensive income” if the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis. We adopted FSP SFAS 115-2 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4,“Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”(FSP SFAS 157-4). This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. The FSP provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. The FSP also requires increased disclosures. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP SFAS 157-4 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 165) which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted SFAS 165 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting”(SFAS 168). SFAS 168 represents the last numbered standard to be issued by FASB under the old (pre-Codification) numbering system, and amends the GAAP hierarchy established under SFAS 162. On July 1, 2009 the FASB launched FASB’s new Codification entitledThe FASB Accounting Standards Codification.The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. SFAS 168 is effective in the first interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This pronouncement is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results, other than current references to GAAP which will be replaced with references to the applicable codification paragraphs.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted to exclude interest expense and financing cost amortization related to potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus any additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued during the period.

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

Options to purchase 567,685 and 593,412 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 1,362,043 and 786,612 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because their effect on diluted EPS would have been anti-dilutive.

In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), Issue No. 04-8, the unissued shares underlying contingent convertible notes are treated as if such shares were issued and outstanding for the purposes of calculating GAAP diluted earnings per share beginning with the issuance of our 1.25% convertible senior notes on June 1, 2004.

Realized gains or losses on investments are recorded in our statement of income within “Other income (expense), net”. All sales of investments for the six months ending June 30, 2009, were retired at par.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” This revised Statement, which we refer to as SFAS 141(R), is intended to simplify existing guidance and converge rulemaking under U.S. GAAP with international accounting rules. SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas, including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs and restructuring costs. Also under this Statement, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense.

SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 141(R) as of January 1, 2009 and the impact was immaterial to our financial statements.

On September 1, 2008, we acquired all of the capital stock of Think Subscription, a privately-held company based in Provo, Utah, for approximately $5.1 million in cash. Think Subscription provides subscription management and fulfillment software to content publishers, online service providers, media vendors and other subscription-based businesses. The agreement provides Think Subscription shareholders with an earn-out opportunity based on Think Subscription achieving certain revenue and earnings targets during the first three years subsequent to the acquisition. Any future earn-out will result in additional goodwill.

On January 1, 2008, we acquired all of the capital stock of DigitalSwift Corporation (DigitalSwift), a privately-held company based in Madison, Georgia, for approximately $9.2 million in cash. DigitalSwift is a manufacturer and fulfiller of on-demand, dynamic and build-to-order CDs and DVDs to consumers. The agreement provides DigitalSwift shareholders with an earn-out opportunity based on DigitalSwift achieving certain revenue and earnings targets during the first year subsequent to the acquisition. In 2008, we paid earn-outs of $1.0 million and accrued $3.0 million for future earn-out payments. Earn-outs totaling $3.0 million were paid during the first quarter of 2009. These earn-outs have been recorded as goodwill in 2008 as they were considered incremental to the purchase price.

On January 1, 2008, we acquired the assets of IA Users Club d.b.a. CustomCD, Inc. (CustomCD), a privately-held company based in Portland, Oregon and Krefeld, Germany, for approximately $7.0 million in cash. This acquisition involved an asset purchase of the US-based business and a stock purchase of the business located in Germany. CustomCD creates, sells and delivers to consumers custom CDs and DVDs containing software, games, and other licensed content. The agreement provides CustomCD shareholders with an earn-out opportunity based on CustomCD achieving certain revenue and earnings targets during the first two years subsequent to the acquisition. In 2008, we paid earn-outs of $1.3 million. Earn-outs were recorded as goodwill in 2008 as they were considered incremental to the purchase price. Any future earn-out will result in additional goodwill.

Future Earn-outs

As of June 30, 2009, there were no future earn-outs in accrued acquisition liabilities.

6. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, our tax expense was $3.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, our tax expense consisted of approximately $3.4 million of U.S. tax expense and $0.4 million of foreign tax benefit. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the tax rate

DIGITAL RIVER, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

was 20.4% and 21.7%, respectively. Differences in our effective tax rate from the U.S. statutory rate are primarily due to our mix of earnings from international operations and the differences in statutory rates in these countries from the U.S. rate.

Tax expense was comparatively lower than in prior periods due to $0.9 million of discrete tax benefits that occurred during the quarter. Approximately $0.2 million was due to effectively settling certain tax positions with taxing authorities and $0.7 million was due to releasing part of a valuation allowance related to acquired foreign net operating losses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, our tax expense was $9.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our tax expense consisted of approximately $8.3 million of U.S tax expense and $0.9 million of foreign tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the tax rate was 24.4% and 26.7%, respectively.

During the quarter, valuation allowances were released for deferred tax assets consisting of acquired U.S. net operating losses as we evaluated these deferred tax assets and concluded it is more likely than not that approximately $1.7 million of these assets will be realized. This release was based on an IRC Section 382 analysis completed during the quarter associated with a 2008 acquisition. In accordance with SFAS No. 141(R), the release of this valuation allowance during the measurement period reduced goodwill. Also during the quarter, a valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million was released due to utilization of acquired foreign net operating losses. In accordance with SFAS No. 141(R), the release of this valuation allowance reduced tax expense.

As of June 30, 2009, we had $7.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits. All of these unrecognized tax benefits would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. Gross unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $0.8 million during the quarter as the Company effectively settled certain tax positions with tax authorities. Gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.5 million for other items identified during the quarter. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $0.8 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

There is uncertainty of future realization of the remaining deferred tax assets resulting from acquired tax loss carryforwards. Therefore a valuation allowance was recorded against the tax effect of such tax loss carryforwards. At June 30, 2009, the Company has a valuation allowance on approximately $1.2 million of deferred tax assets as we believe it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Due to the potential resolution of examinations currently being performed by taxing authorities, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $1.5 million.

7. DEBT

In 2004 we sold and issued $195.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.25% convertible senior notes due January 1, 2024 (Notes), in a private, unregistered offering. The Notes were sold at 100% of their principal amount.

We are required to pay interest on the Notes on January 1 and July 1 of each year so long as the Notes are outstanding. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.25% and, if specified conditions are met, are convertible into our common stock at a conversion price of $44.063 per share. The Notes may be surrendered for conversion under certain circumstances, including the satisfaction of a market price condition, such that the price of our common stock reaches a specified threshold; the satisfaction of a trading price condition, such that the trading price of the Notes falls below a specified level; the redemption of the Notes by us, the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, as defined in the related indenture; and the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined in the related indenture. The initial conversion price is equivalent to a conversion rate of approximately 22.6948 shares per $1,000 of principal amount of the Notes. We will adjust the conversion price if certain events occur, as specified in the related indenture, such as the issuance of our common stock as a dividend or distribution or the occurrence of a stock subdivision or combination.

Holders of the Notes have the right to require us to repurchase their Notes prior to maturity on January 1, 2014 and 2019. We have the right to redeem the Notes at any time on or after January 1, 2009. On January 5, 2009, we announced that holders of 95.5% of the Notes exercised the option to require us to repurchase those Notes on January 2, 2009 at a purchase price of 100.25% of the principal amount of each tendered Note. Notes with an aggregate

DIGITAL RIVER, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

principal amount of approximately $8.8 million remain outstanding. In light of the right of holders to require us to redeem the Notes on January 1, 2009, on January 1, 2008, we reclassified the Notes as short-term debt. As such right has expired and the exercise of the next right to require us to redeem the Notes will not occur until January 1, 2014, we have reclassified the remaining Notes as long-term debt.

In the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, we incurred interest expense of $0.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, on the Notes and made no interest payments in the second quarters of 2009 and 2008.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157,“Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157) and subsequently adopted FSP SFAS 157-4,“Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. SeeNote 1 Basis of Presentation. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements; rather it specifies valuation methods and disclosures to be applied when fair value measurements are required under existing or future accounting pronouncements.

FAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


Level 1		— Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;


Level 2		— Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and


Level 3		— Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumption.

As of June 30, 2009, we held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included cash equivalents and long-term investments.

As of June 30, 2009, we held $102.4 million of investments at par value, $94.6 million fair value, in auction-rate securities (ARS), all are AAA/Aaa rated and 105%-115% over collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the U.S. government with the exception of one security which is rated A3/AAA and one security which is rated AAA/Aa1. All the securities are 100% guaranteed by the Department of Education or the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) with the exception of two securities which are 82.5% and 99% guaranteed by FFELP. Almost all of these securities continue to fail at auction due to illiquid market conditions.

The Company determined a market value discount, due to current illiquid market conditions, was required and recorded a temporary fair value reduction of $16.3 million (14.9% of par value) recorded to “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the December 31, 2008 balance sheet. In the second quarter, $7.1 million of our ARS were successfully liquidated at par. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has recorded a market value discount of $7.8 million (7.6% of par value) to “Accumulated other comprehensive income”.

The determination of fair value required management to make estimates and assumptions about the ARS. The discounted cash flow model we used to value these securities included the following assumptions:

	•		determination of the penalty coupon rate, frequency of reset period associated with each ARS

	•		an average redemption period of seven years

	•		a contribution of the ARS paying its contractually stated interest rate

	•		determination of the risk adjusted discount rate based on LIBOR rates for these maturities plus market information on student loan credit spreads

required to sell the investments prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis. Accordingly, we treated the fair value decline as temporary. We anticipate we will have sufficient cash flow from operations to execute our business strategy and fund our operational needs. We believe that capital markets are also available if we need to finance other investing alternatives.

The table below presents our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):


	Fair Value Measurements

Total assets measured at fair value	$	445,026	$	350,389	$	—	$	94,637

Based on market conditions, we have classified the auction rate securities as Level 3 within FAS 157’s hierarchy since our initial adoption of FAS 157 at January 1, 2008. As of June 30, 2009, the difference between fair value and par value of these securities was $7.8 million, or 1.7% of total assets measured at fair value or 0.9% of total assets reported in our financial statements.

The following is a reconciliation of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of our $8.8 million 1.25% fixed rate convertible senior notes was valued at $8.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively, based on the quoted fair market value of the debt.

9. LITIGATION

We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the final outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we believe there is no litigation pending against us that is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Because of the uncertainty inherent in litigation, it is possible that unfavorable

resolutions of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims could exceed the amount we have currently reserved for these matters. For more information on legal proceedings, please see Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has completed an evaluation of all subsequent events through August 4, 2009, which is the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, and concluded no subsequent events occurred that required recognition or disclosure.

Overview

We provide end-to-end global e-commerce and marketing solutions to a wide variety of companies in software, consumer electronics, computer games, video games, and other markets. We offer our clients a broad range of services that enable them to quickly and cost effectively establish an online sales channel capability and to subsequently manage and grow online sales on a global basis while mitigating risks. Our services include design, development and hosting of online stores and shopping carts, store merchandising and optimization, order management, denied parties screening, export controls and management, tax compliance and management, fraud management, digital product delivery via download, physical product fulfillment, subscription management, online marketing including e-mail marketing, management of affiliate paid search programs, payment processing services, website optimization, web analytics and reporting, and CD production and delivery.

Our products and services allow our clients to focus on promoting and marketing their products and brands while leveraging our investments in technology and infrastructure to facilitate the purchase of products through their online websites. When shoppers visit one of our clients’ branded websites and purchase goods, they are transferred to an e-commerce store and / or shopping cart operated by us on our e-commerce platforms. Once on our system, shoppers can browse for products and make purchases online. We typically are the seller of record for transactions through our client branded stores. After a purchase is made, we either deliver the product digitally via download over the Internet or transmit instructions to a third party for physical fulfillment of the order. We also process the buyer’s payment as the merchant of record, including collection and remittance of applicable taxes. We have invested substantial resources to develop our e-commerce and marketing platforms and we provide access and use of our platforms to our clients as a service as opposed to selling the software to be operated on their own in-house computer hardware.

In addition to the services we provide that facilitate the completion of an online transaction, we also offer services designed to increase traffic to our clients’ websites and the associated online stores and to improve the sales productivity of those stores. Our services include paid search advertising, search engine optimization, affiliate marketing, store optimization, multi-variant testing, web analytic services and e-mail optimization. All of our services are designed to help our clients acquire customers more effectively, sell to those customers more often and more efficiently, and increase the lifetime value of each customer.

Our clients include many of the largest software, consumer electronics, computer and video game companies, including Absolute Software Corporation, Adobe Systems, Inc., Aspyr Media, Inc., Autodesk, Inc., Canon Europa N.V., Computer Associates, Cyber Patrol, LLC, Eastman Kodak Company, Electronic Arts, Inc., Lexmark, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Nuance Communications, Inc., SanDisk Corporation, Smith Micro Software, Inc., Symantec Corporation, and Trend Micro, Inc.

We were incorporated in Delaware in February 1994. Our headquarters are located at 9625 West 76^th Street, Eden Prairie, Minnesota and our telephone number is 952-253-1234.

We acquired Think Subscription on September 1, 2008. The results of this acquisition must be factored into any comparison of our 2009 results to the results for 2008.

REVENUE.Our revenue was $96.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $98.4 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $1.8 million or 1.8%. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenue totaled $199.5 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 1.2%, from revenue of $202.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The revenue decreases were attributed to foreign currency impact year over year partially offset by an increase due to increased traffic, growth in the number of online game and consumer electronic clients we served and expanded strategic marketing activities with a larger number of clients. Sales of security software products for PCs represent the largest contributor to our revenues.

International e-commerce sales were approximately 39.4% and 37.6% of total sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 44.1% and 43.6% in the same periods of the prior year. The decreases in international revenue were primarily driven by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and increased sales by key U.S. clients.

DIRECT COST OF SERVICES.Direct cost of services primarily includes costs related to personnel, product fulfillment, backup CD production and delivery solutions and certain client-specific costs. Direct cost of service expense decreased to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, direct cost of service expense was $7.9 million, compared to $8.6 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower CD production and delivery costs realized from the integration of our CD production companies acquired in January 2008.

As a percentage of revenue, direct cost of services were 4.1% and 3.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 4.5% and 4.3% in the same periods of the prior year.

We currently believe 2009 direct cost of services will remain relatively flat compared to 2008 in absolute dollars as costs associated with moderately higher CD sales volume are offset by lower costs and efficiencies related to the full integration of our CD companies. If economic conditions improve or further deteriorate or we complete any future acquisitions we expect a correlating increase or decrease in direct cost of services in line with revenue.

NETWORK AND INFRASTRUCTURE.Our network and infrastructure expenses primarily include personnel related expenses and costs to operate and maintain our technology platforms, customer service, data communication

and data center operations. Network and infrastructure expenses were $11.0 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, network and infrastructure expenses were $21.3 million, up from $20.6 million for the same period of the prior year. The increases were mainly due to increased data communication expenses and higher client website traffic as a result of various marketing campaigns and client product launches.

As a percentage of revenue, network and infrastructure increased to 11.3% and 10.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 10.6% and 10.2% in the same period of the prior year.

We currently believe network and infrastructure expenses will increase in absolute dollars in 2009 compared to
2008 as we continue to expand our global data center and customer service capacity. Also, in the second half of 2009 we will incur approximately $1 million of one-time severance and transition costs related to outsourcing our customer service operations to Tennessee-based Sitel. We believe the partnership with Sitel, which has offices in 27 countries and 60,000 associates, will allow us to more efficiently scale to meet the growing requirements of our growing global client base. We will be able to offer more flexible staffing, expanded support in emerging markets, added multi-lingual capabilities, and in the near future, new global services such as in-bound and out-bound telesales.

SALES AND MARKETING.Our sales and marketing expenses mainly include credit card transaction and other payment processing fees, personnel and related costs, advertising, promotional and product marketing expenses, credit card chargebacks and bad debt expense. Sales and marketing expenses were flat at $39.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008. Higher payment processing related fees and new or expanded client paid search marketing programs in 2009 were offset by lower personnel related costs and foreign currency translation favorability on our European transactions. Sales and marketing expense decreased to $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $79.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales and marketing for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period of the prior year resulted mainly from foreign currency favorability which was partially offset by increased payment processing related fees and new or expanded client paid search marketing programs associated with higher revenue.

As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 40.6% and 38.9% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 39.9% and 39.1% in the same periods in the prior year.

We currently believe sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars in 2009 compared to 2008. We plan to increase our global sales force to strengthen our leadership position in our core software business and support the expansion of our client relationships through investments in subscriptions, international payment processing, strategic marketing services and business-to-business or B2B software markets. We also expect to continue our investments in key vertical markets, in particular consumer electronics and games. If economic conditions improve or further deteriorate or we complete any future acquisitions we expect a correlating increase or decrease in sales and marketing expenses.

PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.Our product research and development expenses include personnel and related expenses associated with developing, maintaining and enhancing our technology platforms and related systems. Product research and development expenses were flat at $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009 product research and development expenses were $25.5 million compared to $25.7 million for the same periods in the prior year. Higher research and development workforce related costs were incurred during the six month period ended June, 30 2009 as compared to the same periods of the prior year to support increased investment in technologies to strengthen our leadership position in software and unlock opportunities in markets such consumer electronics, games, subscriptions, and business-to-business software. The higher research and development workforce related expenses were offset by the benefit of foreign currency translation and increased capitalization of internal and consulting labor to support on-going initiatives in our e-commerce infrastructure. These investments advance global system scalability, our e-marketing capabilities, data management and client reporting. We capitalized internal software development employee and consultant labor costs of $5.7 million and $10.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $0.2 million in the same periods of the prior year. This capitalization primarily related to the development of our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and new data management and reporting infrastructure. We expect these investments to drive long-term operational efficiencies across the organization and provide further competitive differentiation.

As a percentage of revenue, product research and development expenses were 13.6% and 12.8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 13.3% and 12.7% for the same periods in the prior year.

We currently believe that product research and development expenses will increase moderately in absolute dollars in 2009 compared to 2008, as a result of continued investments in product development required to remain competitive and drive increased revenue. However, if global economic conditions continue to deteriorate, cost containment actions may result in lower product research and development spending in 2009 as compared to 2008. If we complete any future acquisitions we expect research and development expenses to increase in line with higher revenue.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.Our general and administrative expenses primarily include executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, professional fees for legal, tax and audit services, bank fees and insurance. General and administrative expenses were $9.8 million and $19.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $10.8 million and $21.1 million for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in general and administrative costs for the three and six months ended June 30 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008 were mainly due to lower personnel related costs as a result of targeted cost control measures.

As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses was 10.2% and 9.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to11.0% and 10.4% for the same periods of the prior year.

We currently believe that general and administrative expenses will decrease in absolute dollars in 2009 compared to 2008. We plan to continue to invest in our infrastructure to support continued organic growth. However, we expect these incremental expenses will be offset by efficiencies gained through the implementation of our new ERP system, client reporting enhancements and cost containment measures. If we complete any future acquisitions we expect a correlating increase in our general and administrative expenses in line with increased revenue.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.Our depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation of computer equipment and office furniture and the amortization of purchased and internally developed software, leasehold improvements made to our leased facilities and debt financing costs. Computer equipment, software and furniture are depreciated under the straight-line method using three to seven year lives and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the remaining length of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.6 and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $4.0 million and $7.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.

We currently believe depreciation and amortization expenses will increase in absolute dollars in 2009 compared to 2008. In 2009, we expect to complete significant data management and client reporting projects to support our business initiatives and begin the amortization of our new ERP system and the depreciation of the associated equipment.

AMORTIZATION OF ACQUISITION-RELATED INTANGIBLES.For the period ended June 30, 2009 our amortization of acquisition-related intangibles line item consisted of amortization of intangible assets recorded from eight acquisitions in the past four years. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was $1.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $2.2 million and $4.3 million for the same periods in the prior year. The decreases in 2009 were primarily due to the benefit of foreign currency translation on our NetGiro acquisition.

We have purchased, and expect to continue purchasing assets or businesses which may include the purchase of intangible assets. We intend to pursue partnerships and acquisitions that can help strengthen and broaden our e-commerce platform, expand our geographical footprint and grow our client base.

INTEREST INCOME.Our interest income represents the total of interest income on our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments. Interest income was $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $4.3 million and $10.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The significant decrease in interest income was due to the use of approximately $188 million of cash in January 2009, to satisfy the majority of holders of our 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 who exercised their put option to require the company to repurchase their notes. Additionally, yields on fixed income investments have declined substantially from 2008. We currently anticipate interest income will continue to decline in 2009 due to lower cash balances and lower market yields when compared to 2008.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET.Our other income (expense), net line item includes the total of interest expense on our debt, foreign currency transaction gains and losses and asset disposal gains and losses. Interest

expense was $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in other interest expense was due to the significant decrease in our outstanding Convertible Senior Notes in January 2009. Foreign currency re-measurement was a gain of $1.1 million and a $0.2 million loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the same periods in the prior year. Gains and losses on asset disposals were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to a loss of $1.0 million for the same periods in the prior year. The loss on asset disposals included one-time charges of approximately $0.5 million each for a settlement of patent litigation and a write-down of intangible assets related to our 2007 Bitpass asset acquisition.

INCOME TAXES.For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, our tax expense was $3.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, our tax expense consisted of approximately $3.4 million of U.S. tax expense and $0.4 million of foreign tax benefit. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the tax rate was 20.4% and 21.7%, respectively. Differences in our effective tax rate from the U.S. statutory rate are primarily due to our mix of earnings from international operations and the differences in statutory rates in these countries from the U.S. rate.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2009, we had $350.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our primary source of internal liquidity is our operating activities. Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009, of $46.5 million was primarily the result of net income adjusted for non-cash expenses and balance sheet changes such as a decrease in other accrued liabilities. Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008, of $40.0 million was primarily the result of net income adjusted for non-cash expenses and balance sheet changes such as a decrease in accounts payable and income tax payable.

Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $8.6 million and was the result of net sales of investments of $13.9 million, cash paid for acquisitions net of cash received of $3.2 million, and purchases of capital equipment of $19.4 million. Net cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $21.9 million and was the result of net sales of investments of $5.0 million, cash paid for acquisitions net of cash received of $17.4 million, and purchases of capital equipment of $9.5 million.

Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $178.3 million. Cash paid for convertible senior notes was $186.7 million, proceeds of $7.4 million were provided by the sale of stock through the exercise of stock options, proceeds of $1.3 million were provided by the sale of stock under the employee stock purchase plan, cash used in the repurchase of restricted stock to satisfy tax withholding obligation was $0.5 million and proceeds of $0.1 million were provided by the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation. Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $131.4 million. Proceeds of $4.4 million were provided by the sale of stock through the exercise of stock options, proceeds of $1.4 million were provided by the sale of stock under the employee stock purchase plan, cash used in the repurchase of restricted stock to satisfy tax withholding obligation was $0.4 million, and proceeds of $1.0 million were provided by the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and we repurchased $137.9 million of common stock.

	•		determination of the penalty coupon rate, frequency of reset period associated with each ARS

	•		an average redemption period of seven years

	•		a contribution of the ARS paying its contractually stated interest rate

	•		determination of the risk adjusted discount rate based on LIBOR rates for these maturities plus market information on student loan credit spreads

In aggregate the ARS portfolio is yielding 1.2% and we continue to receive 100% of the contractually required interest payments. We continue to believe that we will be able to liquidate at par over time. We do not intend to sell the investments prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis nor do we believe it is more likely than not we may be required to sell the investments prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis. Accordingly, we treated the fair value decline as temporary. We anticipate we will have sufficient cash flow from operations to execute our business strategy and fund our operational needs. We believe that capital markets are also available if we need to finance other investing alternatives. SeeNote 8 Fair Value Measurementsfor further information.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

A detailed description of our critical accounting policies can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28-1 (FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FSP amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and APB No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting.” This FSP requires publicly-traded entities to disclose the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2“Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-temporary impairments.” FSP SFAS 115-2 is intended to provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to communicate more effectively when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. FSP SFAS 115-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities. The new guidance improves the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities and changes the calculation of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings in the financial statements. FSP SFAS 115-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairment of equity securities.

FSP SFAS 115-2 is effective and is to be applied prospectively for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. When adopting FSP SFAS 115-2 , an entity is required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from retained earnings to “Accumulated other comprehensive income” if the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis. We adopted FSP SFAS 115-2 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4,“Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”(“FSP SFAS 157-4”). This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. The FSP provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. The FSP also requires increased disclosures. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP SFAS 157-4 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15,

2009. We adopted SFAS No. 165 for the period ending June 30, 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 168,The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting, or SFAS 168. SFAS 168 represents the last numbered standard to be issued by FASB under the old (pre-Codification) numbering system, and amends the GAAP hierarchy established under SFAS 162. On July 1, 2009 the FASB launched FASB’s new Codification entitledThe FASB Accounting Standards Codification.The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. SFAS 168 is effective in the first interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This pronouncement is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results, other than current references to GAAP which will be replaced with references to the applicable codification paragraphs.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our portfolio of cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments is maintained in a variety of securities, including government agency obligations and money market funds. Investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and carried at their market value with cumulative unrealized gains or losses recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within stockholders’ equity. A sharp rise in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the market value of certain securities in our portfolio. We do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure and do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

At June 30, 2009, we had long-term debt of $8.8 million associated with our Notes. The market value of our long-term debt will fluctuate with movements of interest rates, increasing in periods of declining rates of interest and declining in periods of increasing rates of interest.

Foreign Currency Risk

Any growth in our international operations will increase our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations as well as other risks typical of international operations, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and restrictions. Further, in September 2007 we acquired NetGiro Systems, a payment processor based in Stockholm, Sweden that processes international transactions, and the anticipated growth of this company will increase our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated results of operations as exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies result in gains and losses that are reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Income. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions will result in increased net revenues and operating expenses. Conversely, our net revenues and operating expenses will decrease when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies.

Transaction Exposure

The Company enters into short term foreign currency forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities recorded in non-functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, as well as re-measurement gains and losses, are recognized in current earnings in “Other income (expense), net”.

Translation Exposure

Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated financial position as the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our consolidated balance sheet. These gains or losses are recognized as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity through “Accumulated other comprehensive income”, net of tax benefit or expense.

Other Market Risks

Investments in auction-rate securities

At June 30, 2009, we held approximately $102.4 million of auction rate securities at par. Given current conditions in the auction rate securities market as described in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we may incur temporary unrealized losses, or other-than-temporary realized losses, in the future if market conditions persist and we are unable to recover the investment principal in our auction rate securities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are committed to maintaining disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in this Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. This system of internal accounting controls is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management’s authorization and financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

DDR Holdings, LLC (DDR Holdings) has brought a claim against us and several other defendants regarding U.S. Patents No. 6,629,135 (the “’135 patent”) and 6,993,572 (the “’572 patent”), which are owned by DDR Holdings. These patents claim e-commerce outsourcing systems and methods relating to the provision of outsourced e-commerce support pages having a common look and feel with a host’s website. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on January 31, 2006. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, declaratory relief, damages and attorneys’ fees. We have denied infringement of any valid claim of the patents-in-suit, and have asserted counter-claims which seek a judicial declaration that the patents are invalid and not infringed. In September 2006, DDR Holdings filed an application for reexamination of its patents based upon the prior art produced by us and the other defendants in the case. As part of that application, DDR Holdings asserted that this prior art raised a substantial question as to the patentability of the inventions claimed in the patents. In December 2006, the Court stayed the litigation pending a decision on the reexamination application. In February 2007, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ordered reexamination of DDR Holdings’ patents. On January 5, 2009, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a final office action rejecting the claims in the ’135 patent which were subject to reexamination. On January 14, 2009, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a final office action rejecting all but two of the claims in the ’572 patent which were subject to reexamination. Should the stay of litigation be lifted, we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

Third parties have from time-to-time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that we have infringed their intellectual property rights, or that certain products and services we resell infringed their intellectual property rights. We have been notified of several potential intellectual property disputes, and expect that we will increasingly be subject to intellectual property infringement claims as our services expand in scope and complexity. We have in the past been forced to litigate such claims in some instances. We also may become more vulnerable to third-party claims as laws, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Lanham Act and the Communications Decency Act are interpreted by the courts and as we expand geographically into jurisdictions where the underlying laws with respect to the potential liability of online intermediaries like ourselves are either unclear or less favorable. These claims, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming and costly to resolve, cause service upgrade delays, require expensive changes in our methods of doing business, or could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 filed with the SEC.
