eSTARA, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company was incorporated in the state of Maryland on January 13, 1999 under the name of PublicWebPhone, Inc. and began operations shortly thereafter. In April 2000, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to eStara, Inc. The Company provides click to call, chat and call tracking solutions proven to convert online sales for over 350 companies worldwide. The Company is headquartered in Reston, Virginia.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit with banks and overnight repurchase agreements stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company considers the carrying value of its financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, to approximate fair value at December 31, 2005 and 2004 because of the relatively short period of time between origination of the instruments and the expected realization at settlement.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to seven years.
Software licenses
The Company capitalizes software licenses that are to be used internally or included in the development of its product. Such costs are amortized over their estimated useful life, which is generally three years. Amortization expense on software licenses aggregated $16,445 and $30,500 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Revenue and cost of revenue
Revenue is generated by providing Internet-based telephony and communications services and is recognized as those services are provided based on usage as defined in each contract. Set-up and maintenance fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the contracts, which range from twelve to thirty-six months in duration. Under most contracts, customer set-up fees are non-refundable.
Cost of revenue includes the costs of providing Internet-based telephony and Internet communications services.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue consists principally of collections from customers for set-up fees and maintenance fees, which entitle the customer to technical support and software upgrades that are provided over the contract period.
Sales and marketing expense
Sales and marketing costs are related to ongoing sales and marketing activities and are expensed as incurred.
Stock-based compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,allows companies to account for stock-based compensation using either the provisions of SFAS No. 123 or the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,but requires pro forma disclosure in the notes to the financial statements as if the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation in accordance with APB No. 25 (see Note 4). No stock-based employee compensation costs are reflected in the net income from stock options, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost been determined as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation, the net income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 would have been decreased by an immaterial amount.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123R”),Share-Based Payment,that eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25, and the related pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123. Measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments under SFAS 123R will be based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). The cost will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. This statement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Although, the Company has not fully evaluated the application of SFAS 123R, management does not expect adoption to result in additional expense.
Income taxes
Income taxes have been recorded using the liability method. The income tax provision includes federal and state income taxes both currently payable and changes in deferred taxes due to differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Goodwill
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(SFAS No. 142), which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuation of goodwill amortization and an annual test for the impairment of goodwill, which could result in a
charge to operations when the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and in accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company performed the required annual impairment test for goodwill based on the goodwill carrying value of $470,000 and $470,000, respectively. The Company determined, based on the estimated future cash flows, that an impairment adjustment was not required for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31:

In October 2001, the Company purchased certain assets of ITXC’s eCommerce Business. The consideration was paid through the issuance of its Series D preferred stock representing 19.9% of the voting shares of the Company at the date of purchase. As a result, eStara issued to ITXC 1,956,566 shares of Series D preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and a fair value of $2.41 per share for an aggregate consideration of $4.7 million. In March 2003, the bridge loan and related accrued interest were converted into 6,890,586 shares of Series E 8% cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and a fair value of $0.30 per share for an aggregate consideration of $2.8 million.

The holders of the Series E preferred stock are entitled to an amount equal to the original issue price (subject to adjustment, as defined), plus an amount equal to any unpaid cumulative dividends. After payment in full of the Series E liquidation preference, the holders of the Series D and C-2 preferred stock are entitled to an amount per share equal to the original issue price (subject to adjustment, as defined), plus an amount equal to any unpaid cumulative dividends.

NOTE 4 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock option plan
Under the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, the Company may grant up to 3,750,055 shares of its common stock in the form of stock options or restricted common stock. The options generally vest over three years, in equal monthly increments, and expire ten years after the grant date. As of December 31, 2005, 97,178 shares of common stock were still available for issuance under the plan. Subsequent to the year end, the Company’s board of directors authorized an additional 17,500,000 shares to be made available for grant under the stock option plan.
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model under the minimum value method using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate ranging from 3.1% to 4.5%, expected option life often years, and dividend yield of 0%.

Restricted stock
During 2005 and 2004, the Company granted 1,445,890 and 660,000 shares of common stock, respectively, in the form of restricted stock. Shares subject to this grant vest in various increments over periods ranging from immediate to three years. Upon an employee’s separation from the Company, all non-vested shares are reclaimable by the Company. Each share grant requires the employee to execute an agreement that restricts the transfer of shares prior to any public registration.
Compensation as a result of the grants is measured using the total number of shares granted, the grant date, and the fair market value per share and is amortized over the respective vesting periods. The unamortized portion of such compensation as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 is $13,043 and $11,107, respectively, and is included as a component of stockholders’ equity. Adjustments for forfeited shares are made in the period of forfeiture. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, a total of $12,523 and $6,930, respectively, was charged to operations. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, unvested outstanding restricted common stock totaled 1,304,301 shares and 1,110,651 shares, respectively.

NOTE 9 — CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company’s management believes the risk of loss associated with cash and cash equivalents is very low since cash and cash equivalents are maintained in financial institutions. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents balances on deposit with a financial institution in excess of the federally insured limit. To date, accounts receivable have been derived primarily from commercial contracts. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and no collateral is required.
