Principles of Accounting for Ownership Interests in Partner Companies
The various interests that the Company acquires in its Partner Companies are accounted for under three methods: the consolidation method, the equity method and the cost method. The applicable accounting method is generally determined based on the Company’s voting interest in a Partner Company.

INTERNET CAPITAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)
Consolidation.Partner Companies in which the Company directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, and for which other stockholders do not possess the right to affect significant management decisions, are accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting. Under this method, a Partner Company’s balance sheet and results of operations are reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Participation of other Partner Company stockholders in the net assets and in the earnings or losses of a consolidated Partner Company is reflected in the caption “Minority interest” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations. Minority interest adjusts the Company’s consolidated results of operations to reflect only the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the consolidated Partner Company. The results of operations and cash flows of a consolidated Partner Company are included through the latest interim period in which the Company owned a greater than 50% direct or indirect voting interest for the entire interim period or otherwise exercised control over the Partner Company. Upon a reduction of the Company’s ownership interest to below 50% of the outstanding voting securities, the accounting method is adjusted to the equity or cost method of accounting, as appropriate, for subsequent periods.
Equity Method.Partner Companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to a Partner Company depends on an evaluation of several factors, including, among others, representation on the Partner Company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally between a 20% and a 50% interest in the voting securities of the Partner Company, including voting rights associated with the Company’s holdings in common stock, preferred stock and other convertible instruments in the Partner Company. Under the equity method of accounting, a Partner Company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the Partner Company is reflected in the caption “Equity loss” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying value of equity method Partner Companies is reflected in “Ownership interests in Partner Companies” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
When the Company’s interest in an equity method Partner Company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, unless the Company has guaranteed obligations of the Partner Company or has committed to additional funding. When the Partner Company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.
Cost Method.Partner Companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such companies is not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, cost method Partner Company impairment charges are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If circumstances suggest that the value of the Partner Company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded.
When a cost method Partner Company qualifies for use of the equity method, the Company’s interest is adjusted retroactively for its share of the past results of its operations. Therefore, prior losses could significantly decrease the Company’s carrying value balance at that time.
The Company records its ownership interest in equity securities of Partner Companies accounted for under the cost method at cost, unless these securities have readily determinable fair values based on quoted market prices, in which case these interests are valued at fair value and classified as marketable securities or some other classification in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates include evaluation of the Company’s holdings in its Partner Companies, holdings in marketable securities and associated hedges, asset impairment, revenue recognition, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. Certain amounts recorded to reflect the Company’s share of losses of Partner Companies accounted for under the equity method are based on unaudited results of operations of those Partner Companies and may require adjustments in the future when audits of these entities are made final. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 those amounts were not material. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s accounting estimates with respect to the ultimate recoverability of ownership interests in Partner Companies and goodwill could change in the near term and that the effect of such changes on the financial statements could be material. At March 31, 2008, the Company believes the recorded amount of ownership interests in Partner Companies and goodwill is not impaired.
Concentration of Customer Base and Credit Risk
The following table summarizes ICG Commerce’s customers who, for at least one period in this report, represented greater than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | |
(a) | | Customer revenues did not exceed 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.
|
|
(b) | | Related accounts receivable are not significant. |
|
(c) | | These accounts receivable balances for customer #1 and customer #2 include $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of unbilled accounts receivable. |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation cost over the service periods for awards expected to vest. The Company generally recognizes compensation expense for awards granted after January 1, 2006 on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Fair value for stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) is determined using the black-scholes model and the relevant expense is amortized over the applicable vesting period. See Note 3.
The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued two final staff positions (“FSP”) amending SFAS No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, except for the items covered by FSP SFAS 157-2.
SFAS No. 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 for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
| • | | 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 assumptions. |
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in millions):

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Under this Standard, we may elect to report cost and equity partner companies, marketable securities, hedges and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 is effective for us for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We have elected not to apply the fair value option to any of our current eligible financial assets and liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141(R) amends the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2009, and we will apply SFAS No. 141(R) prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to our effective date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clarify the distinctions between controlling and noncontrolling interests and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which is our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable financial statement users to better understand the effects of derivatives and hedging on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which is our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Equity Company Information
In February 2008, GoIndustry issued equity in conjunction with a financing and an acquisition transaction. In conjunction with the financing, the Company purchased an additional 52,690,950 shares of GoIndustry in exchange for approximately $10.5 million. As a result of these transactions the Company’s ownership in GoIndustry was reduced from 31% to approximately 29%. The reduction in the Company’s ownership interest in GoIndustry was accounted for as a disposition of shares and resulted in a dilution loss for accounting purposes. The dilution loss totaled $1.3 million and was recorded as an equity transaction with a decrease to additional paid-in capital. At March 31, 2008, the Company owns 133,832,852 shares of GoIndustry, or approximately 29% of the outstanding shares.
In the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company increased its ownership percentage in certain Partner Companies through the Company’s acquisition of existing shares and participation in financing rounds. The Company is in the process of finalizing its purchase price allocations for these transactions.
The Company has aggregate contingent gains of $6.6 million associated with outstanding escrows related to sales of prior equity method Partner Companies. These escrows primarily relate to sale consideration to satisfy potential purchase price allocations and/or potential indemnity claims. The Company records escrow arrangements at the time the Company is entitled to the escrow proceeds, the amount is fixed or determinable and realization is assured.

5. Marketable Securities and Related Derivatives
Marketable securities represent the Company’s holdings in common stock of publicly traded companies accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The cost, unrealized holding gains/(losses), and fair value of marketable securities at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Blackboard | | | 2,187,060 | | | $ | 3,162 | | | $ | 69,732 | | | $ | 72,895 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

December 31, 2007 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Blackboard | | | 2,187,060 | | | $ | 3,162 | | | $ | 84,867 | | | $ | 88,029 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The amounts reflected as the Company’s cost for Blackboard include the carrying value on the date the Partner Company converted to marketable securities and the value of warrants exercised.
The Company holds certain marketable securities in Partner Companies that are publicly traded. The Company manages the Company’s exposure to and benefits from price fluctuations of these marketable securities by selectively using derivative securities or hedges. Although these instruments are derivative securities, their economic risks are similar to, and managed on the same basis as, risks of the other equity instruments the Company holds. These instruments are marked to market through earnings. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has entered into cashless collar contracts with various expiration dates between March 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010 to hedge 1,625,000 shares of its total holdings of 2,187,060 shares of Blackboard common stock at weighted average minimum and maximum prices per share of $24.27 and $56.35, respectively. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had entered into cashless collar contracts with expiration dates of either March 15, 2010 or April 15, 2010 to hedge 1,250,000 shares of its total holdings of 2,187,060 shares of Blackboard common stock at weighted average minimum and maximum prices of $23.00 and $54.06, respectively. The marked to market impact to earnings of these instruments was income of $5.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. The income in the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily driven by the change in the quarter of Blackboard’s closing stock price decreasing from $40.25 per share at the beginning of the quarter versus Blackboard’s closing stock price of $33.33 per share at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The loss in the three months ended March 31, 2007 is primarily driven by the change in the quarter of Blackboard’s closing stock price increasing from $30.04 per share at the beginning of the quarter versus Blackboard’s closing stock price of $33.63 per share at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This income and loss, respectively, is reflected in “Other income (loss), net” for their appropriate period on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In future quarters, the mark to market impact will generally be an expense if Blackboard’s stock price rises or income if Blackboard’s stock price declines. If the Company holds these hedges through their maturity dates and Blackboard’s stock price remains within the weighted average minimum and maximum prices per share, the value of the hedges will be zero at maturity. The fair value of these instruments was an asset of $2.0 million at March 31, 2008 which is included in “Hedges of Marketable Securities” in the asset section of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and was a liability of $3.7 million at December 31, 2007 which is included in “Hedges of Marketable Securities” in the liabilities section of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

6. Debt
Senior Convertible Notes
In February 2007, the Company repurchased and extinguished the remaining $26.6 million of its April 2009 senior convertible notes for $37.1 million plus accrued interest. The Company recorded a loss of $10.9 million on these repurchases, including $0.3 million for the acceleration of deferred financing fees during the three months ended March 31, 2007. These losses are included in “Other income (loss), net” for their appropriate period within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company recorded interest expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 related to these notes. The Company expensed $0.1 million related to these fees in the three months ended March 31, 2007, excluding any expense relating to accelerations of deferred financing fees as a result of the repurchases described above.
Other Long-Term Debt
The Company’s other long-term debt at March 31, 2008 of $0.5 million relates to its consolidated Partner Companies, ICG Commerce and Investor Force, and primarily consists of secured notes due to the current shareholders of ICG Commerce’s former German subsidiary. The long-term debt is due as follows: $0.4 million is due in 2008 and the remaining $0.1 million is due in 2009.
Loan and Credit Agreements
On September 30, 2002, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Comerica Bank (the “Loan Agreement”) to provide for the issuance of letters of credit up to $20 million, subject to a cash-secured borrowing base as defined by the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement was reduced to $10.0 million in 2004. In December 2007, the Loan Agreement was extended to December 13, 2008. Issuance fees of 0.50% per annum of the face amount of each letter of credit will be paid to Comerica Bank subsequent to issuance. The Loan Agreement also is subject to a 0.25% per annum unused commitment fee payable to the bank quarterly. No amounts were outstanding at March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007.
On May 8, 2008, the Company entered into a series of loan agreements with Credit Suisse Capital LLC. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company may, from time to time, borrow funds secured by the cashless collar contracts that the Company previously entered into with respect to 1.625 million of its shares of Blackboard common stock. The loans bear interest, which is payable quarterly in arrears, at the three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate, computed on the basis of a 30-day month and a 360-day year. This interest rate resets on the first day of each calendar quarter. The maturity of each of the loans corresponds with the expiration of the underlying cashless collar contract. Accordingly, the maturity dates of the loans range from March 15, 2010 to October 15, 2010. The maximum borrowing capacity under each of the loan agreements equals the present value of the minimum value of the underlying cashless collar contract computed using the three month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate. As of May 8, 2008, the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity under the loan agreements is approximately $37 million. The Company has not drawn any amounts under the loan agreements to date.

7. Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments using the “management approach” under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of a Business Enterprise and Related Information,” consist of two operating segments, the core operating segment and the other holdings operating segment. Each segment includes the results of the Company’s Consolidated Partner Companies and records the Company’s share of earnings and losses of Partner Companies accounted for under the equity method of accounting and captures the Company’s basis in the assets of all of its Partner Companies. Any marketable securities are considered “corporate” assets whereas, prior to becoming marketable securities, the Partner Company would have been included in the core or other holdings category.
The core operating segment includes those Partner Companies in which the Company’s management takes a very active role in providing strategic direction and management assistance. The other holdings operating segment includes holdings in companies, in general, we have less influence due to the fact that they are public and/or we have a relatively small ownership stake.
Approximately 11% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 relates to sales generated in the United Kingdom. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company’s assets were located primarily in the United States.

10. Income Taxes
The Company recorded a tax benefit of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 related to the operating loss for that period. This benefit can be realized through a carryback to 2005. No benefit was recorded for the operating loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as realization of this benefit is not considered to be more likely than not.
Excluding the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $506.2 million that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company also had capital loss carry-forwards of approximately $467 million that may be used to offset future capital gains. The net operating loss and capital loss carry-forwards, as well as certain other deferred tax assets, are subject to significant limitations on their utilization. The annual limitation on the utilization of these carry-forwards is approximately $14.5 million. These net operating loss carry-forwards expire between 2014 and 2027, and the capital loss carry-forwards expire between 2008 and 2012. Additional limitations on the utilization of these carry-forwards may be imposed if the Company experiences another change in ownership.
The Company’s net deferred tax asset of $485 million at March 31, 2008 consists of deferred tax assets of $511 million, relating primarily to Partner Company basis differences, capital and net operating loss carry forwards, offset by deferred tax liabilities of $25.1 million, primarily related to unrealized appreciation in available for sale securities. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth elsewhere in this Report and the risks discussed in our other SEC filings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto included in this Report.
Although we refer in this Report to companies in which we have acquired a convertible debt or an equity ownership interest as our “partner companies” and indicate that we have a “partnership” with these companies, we do not act as an agent or legal representative for any of our partner companies, we do not have the power or authority to legally bind any of our partner companies, and we do not have the types of liabilities in relation to our partner companies that a general partner of a partnership would have.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of Internet Capital Group, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, and its subsidiaries, both wholly-owned and consolidated (Internet Capital Group, Inc. and all such subsidiaries, are hereinafter referred to as “we,” “ICG,” the “Company” or “Internet Capital Group”), and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Executive Summary
The Company acquires and builds internet software and services companies that drive business productivity and reduce transaction costs between firms. The Company devotes its expertise and capital to maximizing the success of these platform companies, which are delivering software and service applications to customers worldwide. We view the Company as primarily having two components: corporate and our partner companies. Corporate primarily holds our cash, marketable securities and ownership interests in partner companies. Our partner companies are grouped into two operating segments consisting of the core segment and the other holdings segment. The core operating segment includes those partner companies in which the Company’s management takes a very active role in providing strategic direction and management assistance. The other holdings operating segment includes holdings in companies over which, in general, we have less influence due to the fact that they are public and/or we have a relatively small ownership stake. From time to time, partner companies are disposed of by ICG or cease operations.
The various interests that we acquire in our partner companies are accounted for under one of three accounting methods: the consolidation method, the equity method or the cost method. The applicable accounting method is generally determined based on our voting interest in a partner company. Generally, if we own more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a partner company, and for which other stockholders do not possess the right to affect significant management decisions, a partner company’s accounts are reflected within our consolidated financial statements. Generally, if we own between 20% and 50% of the outstanding voting securities, a partner company’s accounts are not reflected within our consolidated financial statements; however, our share of the earnings or losses of the partner company is reflected in the caption “Equity loss” in our consolidated statements of operations. Partner companies not accounted for under either the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under this method, our share of the earnings or losses of these companies is not included in our consolidated statements of operations.
Because we own significant interests in information technology and e-commerce companies, many of which have generated net losses, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant volatility in our quarterly results. While many of our partner companies have consistently reported losses, we have recorded net income in certain periods and experienced significant volatility from period-to-period due to infrequently occurring transactions and other events relating to our ownership interests in partner companies.
23
These transactions and events are described in more detail in our Notes to consolidated financial statements and include dispositions of, and changes to, our partner company ownership interests, dispositions of our holdings of marketable securities and debt repurchases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | |
| | | | | | Consolidated | | | | | | | | | | | Consolidated | | | | |
| | Corporate | | | Subsidiaries | | | Total | | | Corporate | | | Subsidiaries | | | Total | |

Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 36,672 | | | $ | 8,128 | | | $ | 44,800 | | | $ | 69,125 | | | $ | 12,906 | | | $ | 82,031 | |
Restricted cash(1) | | | — | | | | 171 | | | | 171 | | | | — | | | | 5 | | | | 5 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Marketable securities(2) | | $ | 74,923 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 74,923 | | | $ | 84,376 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 84,376 | |
| | |
(1) | | Restricted cash at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 does not include less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of long-term restricted cash included in “Other” assets on the Company’s Consolidated balance sheets. |
|
(2) | | Includes a contributing asset of $2.0 million at March 31, 2008 and an offsetting liability of $3.7 million at December 31, 2007 related to derivative instruments associated with the Company’s marketable securities. |
We believe existing cash and cash equivalents, our borrowing facilities and proceeds from the potential sales of all or a portion of our interests in certain marketable securities and partner companies to be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including any future commitments to partner companies, debt obligations and general operations requirements. At March 31, 2008, as well as the date of this filing, we were not obligated for any significant funding and guarantee commitments to existing partner companies. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities and may acquire additional ownership interests in new and existing partner companies in the next twelve months; however, such acquisitions will generally be made at our discretion.
Consolidated working capital decreased by $28.3 million from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008, primarily due to fundings to partner companies.
Summary of Statements of Cash Flows
| | | | | | | | |
| | As of March 31, |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
| | (in thousands) |
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities | | $ | (11,148 | ) | | $ | (11,909 | ) |
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities | | $ | (25,822 | ) | | $ | (5,283 | ) |
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | $ | (256 | ) | | $ | (37,328 | ) |
The net decrease in cash used in operating activities is the result of improved working capital components in the 2008 period versus the 2007 period.
The increase in cash used in investing activities from 2007 to 2008 is the result of a greater aggregate amount of partner company funding in 2008 than in 2007.
The decrease in cash used in financing activities from 2007 to 2008 is primarily related to the repurchase of $26.6 million of principal of convertible notes for $37.1 million in cash in 2007.
We and our consolidated subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect the ultimate liability with respect to these actions will materially affect our financial position or cash flows.
24
Contractual Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We had no other material changes to contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not involved in any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Revenue
Revenue increased $4.2 million from $11.8 million in 2007 to $16.0 million in 2008. This revenue increase was primarily driven by increased revenues at ICG Commerce from new and existing customers.
26
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $2.4 million, from $13.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $16.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. This operating expense increase was due to increased operating expenses at ICG Commerce to service existing and new customers contracts.
Equity Loss
A portion of our net results from our core companies is derived from those partner companies in which we hold a substantial minority ownership interest. Our share of the income or losses of these companies is recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Operations under “Equity loss.”

Our share of the net loss increased in 2008 versus 2007 as Metastorm recorded increased intangible amortization expense related to its second half of 2007 acquisitions in the 2008 quarter and some of our more recent acquisitions (primarily Channel Intelligence and Vcommerce) continue to increase operating expenses to expand market share.

Corporate Other Income (Loss), Net
Other income (loss), net was income of $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and a loss of $11.9 million in the comparable 2007 period. Other income in the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily driven by our Blackboard hedges. See Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The loss in the three months ended March 31, 2007 is primarily the result of a $10.8 million loss on the repurchase of our senior convertible notes. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Corporate Income Tax
We recorded a tax benefit of $2.1 million for the 2007 period. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. No benefit was recorded for the loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as realization of this benefit is not considered to be more likely than not.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these 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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to our interests in our partner companies, marketable securities, revenues, income taxes and commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Ownership Interests in Partner Companies
We perform ongoing business reviews and perform annual goodwill impairment tests in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and other impairment tests in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 18, “Equity Method Investments” and SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and use quantitative and qualitative measures to assess the need to record impairment losses on goodwill, intangible assets and ownership interests in our partner companies when impairment indicators are present. Where impairment indicators are present, we determine the amount of the impairment charge as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. We determine fair value based on a combination of the discounted cash flow methodology, which is based upon converting expected future cash flows to present value, and the market approach, which includes analysis of market price multiples of companies engaged in lines of business similar to the company being evaluated. The market price multiples are selected and applied to the company based on relative performance, future prospects and risk profile of the company in comparison to the guideline companies. Significant assumptions relating to future operating results must be made when estimating the future cash flows associated with these companies. Significant assumptions relating to achievement of business plan objectives and milestones must be made when evaluating whether impairment indicators are present. Should unforeseen events occur or should operating trends change significantly, additional impairment losses could occur.
Revenue Recognition
ICG Commerce may assume all or a part of a customer’s procurement function as part of sourcing arrangements. Typically, in these engagements, ICG Commerce is paid a fixed fee agreed upon in advance and/or a fee based on a percentage of the amount spent by its customers’ respective purchasing department in the specified areas ICG Commerce manages. Additionally, in some cases, ICG Commerce has the opportunity to earn additional fees based on the level of savings achieved for customers. ICG Commerce recognizes revenue as earned which is typically over the life of the customer contract (which approximates the life of the customer relationship) and any additional fees as earned.
29
Deferred Income Taxes
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We consider future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In the event that we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets is charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, then the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we are a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. From time to time, we are also a guarantor of various third-party obligations and commitments. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required for these contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each individual matter. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in circumstances, such as a change in settlement strategy. Changes in required reserves could increase or decrease our earnings in the period the changes are made.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued two FSPs amending SFAS No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions. FSP SFAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, except for the items covered by FSP SFAS 157-2.
SFAS No. 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 for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
| • | | 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 assumptions. |
Our marketable securities are reported at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet based on quoted prices in active markets for identical or comparable assets (Level 1). See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Under this standard, we may elect to report cost and equity partner companies, marketable securities, hedges and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 is effective for us for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. We have elected not to apply the fair value option to any of our current eligible financial assets and liabilities.
30
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) amends the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2009, and we will apply prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to our effective date.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the controlling and noncontrolling interests and requires the separate disclosure of income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which is our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of SFAS No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable financial statement users to better understand the effects of derivatives and hedging on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS No. 161 are effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which is our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to equity price risks on the marketable portion of our equity securities. Our public holdings at March 31, 2008 include equity positions in companies in sectors that have experienced significant historical volatility in their stock prices. A 20% adverse change in equity prices, based on a sensitivity analysis of our public holdings as of March 31, 2008, would result in approximately a $14 million decrease in the fair value of our public holdings. Through March 31, 2008, the Company has entered into cashless collar contracts with various expiration dates in 2010 to hedge 1,625,000 shares of its total holdings of 2,187,060 shares of Blackboard common stock at weighted average minimum and maximum prices per share of $24.27 and $56.35, respectively. Each of these contracts limits the Company’s exposure to price declines in the underlying equity securities. Additionally, each of these contracts limits the Company’s maximum benefits from price increases in the underlying equity securities.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Marketable securities are carried at fair value.
We have historically had very low exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and, as such, have not used derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency fluctuation risk.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Controls and Procedures
Management’s Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered in this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the
31
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the relevant SEC rules and forms.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all future events, no matter how remote, that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may not deteriorate. Because of their inherent limitations, systems of control may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Accordingly, even effective systems of control can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
In May and June 2001, certain of the Company’s present directors, along with the Company, certain of its former directors, certain of its present and former officers and its underwriters, were named as defendants in nine class action complaints filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs and the putative classes they seek to represent include present and former stockholders of the Company. The complaints generally allege violations of Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act, based on, among other things, the dissemination of statements allegedly containing material misstatements and/or omissions concerning the commissions received by the underwriters of the initial public offering and follow-on public offering of the Company as well as failure to disclose the existence of purported agreements by the underwriters with some of the purchasers in these offerings to buy additional shares of the Company’s stock subsequently in the open market at pre-determined prices above the initial offering prices. The plaintiffs seek for themselves and the alleged class members an award of damages and litigation costs and expenses. The claims in these cases have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes (together with claims against other issuers and underwriters) before one judge in the Southern District of New York federal court. In April 2002, a consolidated, amended complaint was filed against these defendants which generally alleges the same violations and also refers to alleged misstatements or omissions that relate to the recommendations regarding the Company’s stock by analysts employed by the underwriters. In June and July 2002, defendants, including the Company defendants, filed motions to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaints on numerous grounds. The Company’s motion was denied in its entirety in an opinion dated February 19, 2003. In July 2003, a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a proposed settlement with the plaintiffs in this matter, which was preliminarily approved by the District Court overseeing the litigation in February 2005. A final fairness hearing on the settlement was held on April 24, 2006. On December 5, 2006, however, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the certification of plaintiff classes in six actions related to other issuers that had been designated as test cases with respect to the non-settling defendants in those matters (the “Focus Cases”) and made other rulings that drew into question the legal viability of the claims in the Focus Cases. The Court of Appeals later rejected the plaintiffs’ request that it reconsider that decision. As a result, on June 25, 2007, the District Court approved a stipulation and order terminating the proposed settlement. In addition, the Court has issued an order applying the appellate decision made with respect to the Focus Cases to all other cases, including the consolidated action against the Company (the “Remaining Cases”). On August 14, 2007, the plaintiffs filed an amended “master” complaint containing allegations purportedly common to
32
all defendants in all actions and filed amended complaints containing specific allegations against the six issuer defendants in the Focus Cases. In addition, on September 27, 2007, the plaintiffs again moved to certify classes in each of the Focus Cases. The defendants in the Focus Cases have moved to dismiss the amended complaints. On March 26, 2008, the District Court granted in part and denied in part those defendants’ motion to dismiss. The motion to certify the Focus Cases as class actions remains outstanding. The Court has approved a stipulation extending the time within which the plaintiffs must file amended pleadings containing specific allegations against the other issuer defendants, including the Company, and the time within which those defendants must move, answer or otherwise respond to those specific allegations. Counsel for plaintiffs have indicated an interest in commencing discovery in the Remaining Cases, but the scope and timetable for any such discovery, including discovery relating to the consolidated action against the Company, has not yet been determined.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
