The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and include the results of GoAmerica, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged, but the issuance of FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2 has delayed the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 as it relates to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” to permit all entities to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The decision whether to elect the fair value option may occur for each eligible item either on a specified election date or according to a preexisting policy for specified types of eligible items. However, that decision must also take place on a date on which criteria under SFAS 159 occurs. Finally, the decision to elect the fair value option shall be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, except in certain circumstances. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an entity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“SFAS 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R ) applies to fiscal years beginning on or after December 18, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141(R) on its results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, this statement requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 applies to fiscal years beginning on or after December 18, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on its results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provided greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect and entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3 – Series A Preferred Stock:
On August 1, 2007, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Such certificate authorized and designated 290,135 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, has a liquidation value of $5.17 per share and is convertible into shares of Common Stock, at any time after the date of issue, at a conversion price of $5.17, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and issuances of additional shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration that is less than the conversion price that is then in effect. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the holder or by the Company under certain circumstances.
- - 7 -
Each holder shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock the Series A Preferred Stock could be converted into. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock will accrue cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly from the date of issuance. Payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be paid in preference to any dividend on common stock.
On August 1, 2007, the Company sold 290,135 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to “Clearlake Capital Group (Clearlake) at a purchase price of $5.17 per share resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1,460. On August 1, 2007, the Company also entered into an agreement with Clearlake, which was later amended on September 12, 2007, allowing for the purchase of 7,446,809 additional shares of preferred stock, which was effected by Clearlake on January 10, 2008, in connection with the acquisitions more fully described in note 11. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had accrued approximately $765 of preferred dividends.
Note 4 – Credit Agreement:
On August 1, 2007, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with Clearlake as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which the Company received a $1,000 bridge loan, which was increased by $1,750 on September 14, 2007 and an additional increase of $750 on October 29, 2007. Interest on the loan was payable on the first business day following the end of each month, at the LIBOR rate, plus 8%. The LIBOR rate utilized for interest calculations through January 10, 2008 was 5.125%. Interest was payable in cash, except that a portion of the interest equal to 4% is payable in kind in the form of additional loans. The loan is secured by substantially all of the assets of GoAmerica and its principal subsidiaries and the stock of such principal subsidiaries. The credit agreements contained customary operating and financial covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its common stockholders, make investments, undertake affiliate transactions, and incur additional indebtedness, in addition to financial compliance requirements. On January 10, 2008, the loan was repaid in full, in the amount of $3,581, upon the closing of the Verizon transaction described in note 11. Included in the amount paid was $50 of accrued interest expense incurred during January 2008.
Note 5 – Senior Debt:
First Lien Credit Facilities.
On January 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), dated as January 10, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), with Churchill Financial LLC, as administrative agent (the “First Lien Administrative Agent”), and Ableco Finance LLC, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). The First Lien Credit Agreement provides for term loans of $40,000, all of which was borrowed on the Closing Date, and revolving loan availability of up to $15,000, none of which was borrowed on the Closing Date. The maturity date of the term loans is January 10, 2014, and the maturity date for revolving loans made from time to time is January 10, 2013. The Company is required to make quarterly repayments of principal on the term loans in the amount of $100 per quarter. Mandatory prepayments are also required to be made in the case of certain events, including asset sales, a portion of excess cash flow, proceeds from debt issuances and extraordinary receipts. Voluntary prepayments of principal of the term loans are subject to a prepayment penalty, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount so prepaid, of 2% from the Closing Date through but not including the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and 1% from the first anniversary of the Closing Date through but not including the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Mandatory prepayments are generally not subject to the payment of penalties except in the case of debt issuances, where the principal amount of term loans so prepaid is treated as though they were voluntary prepayments.
The First Lien Credit Agreement contains affirmative and restrictive covenants that require the Company to take or refrain from taking certain actions, including, among other things, the obligation to provide certain financial and other information and limitations on its ability to incur debt, make investments, pay dividends, change the nature of its business, engage in affiliate transactions, or sell assets. In addition, the Company must comply with financial covenants for maximum consolidated leverage, maximum amounts of capital expenditures, minimum amount of net revenue, having reserves on its books relating to the earnout provisions under the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated August 1, 2007, by and between Verizon and GoAmerica Relay Services Corp., as amended, and certain amounts of revolver availability or cash and cash equivalents subject to control agreements in favor of the Collateral Agent.
- - 8 -
Interest on the loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement is at variable rates which can be linked to LIBOR plus the applicable margin, or at a “base rate” of the higher of the U.S. prime rate quoted byThe Wall Street Journaland the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum, plus the applicable margin. The interest rate increases by 2% in the case of an event of default. The applicable margin is determined as follows:
- during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the next date of determination after the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2008, the incremental percentage set forth in the applicable column opposite Level I in the table set forth below and;
- thereafter, as of each date of determination (and until the next such date of determination), a percentage equal to the percentage set forth below in the applicable column opposite the level corresponding to the Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the agreement) in effect as of the last day of the most recently ended quarter:
CONSOLIDATED SENIOR | |||
LEVEL | LEVERAGE RATIO | BASE RATE LOANS | LIBOR RATE LOANS |
I | Greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1 | Plus 4 .00 | Plus 5 .00 |
II | Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1 and less than 3.00 to 1 | Plus 3 .50 | Plus 4 .50 |
III | Less than 2.00 to 1 | Plus 3 .25 | Plus 4 .25 |
In accordance with the Guaranty and Security Agreement entered into by the Company and the Collateral Agent on the Closing Date, the obligations of the Company under the First Lien Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company.
In conjunction with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $1,180 of fees paid to the lenders and $425 of financing fees paid to third parties. Amounts paid to the lenders are presented as debt discount, which are recorded as a reduction to the debt, and are amortized over the life of the debt. Fees paid to third parties are classified as deferred financing costs and are amortized over the life of the debt.
Second Lien Credit Facilities and Intercreditor Agreement.
Concurrently with entering into the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Company entered into the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), dated as of the Closing Date, with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Clearlake, as administrative agent (the “Second Lien Agent”). The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for term loans of $30,000, all of which was borrowed on the Closing Date. The maturity date of the loans is July 10, 2014, and there are no scheduled amortization payments. Mandatory prepayments, which are not subject to prepayment penalty, are required to be made in the case of certain events, including asset sales, a portion of excess cash flow, proceeds from debt issuances and extraordinary receipts. Voluntary prepayments of principal of the loans are subject to a prepayment penalty, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount so prepaid, of 2% from the Closing Date through but not including the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and 1% from the first anniversary of the Closing Date through but not including the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date. Mandatory prepayments are generally not subject to the payment of penalties except in the case of debt issuances, where the principal amount of loans so prepaid is treated as though they were voluntary prepayments. The affirmative, negative and financial covenants in the Second Lien Credit Agreement are substantially similar to those set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement, except that in certain circumstances they are less restrictive than those set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement. Loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 9% per annum, which rate increases by 2% in the case of an event of default.
In accordance with the Second Guaranty and Security Agreement entered into by the Company and the Second Lien Agent on the Closing Date, the obligations of the Company under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and subject to certain exceptions and limitations, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (referred to below).
- - 9 -
The Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the First Lien Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Agent (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), provides for and governs, among other things, the relative priorities among the secured parties under the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations. The Company acknowledged the Intercreditor Agreement but is not a party thereto.
In conjunction with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $1,162 of fees paid to the lenders. Amounts paid to lenders are presented as debt discount, which are recorded as a reduction to the debt, and are amortized over the life of the debt.
A summary of the outstanding debt is as follows:
As of March 31, | |||
2008 | |||
First lien debt | $ 39,900 | ||
Second lien debt | 30,000 | ||
Total debt | 69,900 | ||
Less of debt discount | (2,261 | ) | |
Total debt, net of debt discount | 67,639 | ||
Less: current portion of long term debt | 400 | ||
Long term debt | $ 67,239 | ||
Aggregate maturities of long term debt of the Company due within the next five years are as follows:
2009 | $ 400 | ||
2010 | 400 | ||
2011 | 400 | ||
2012 | 400 | ||
2013 | 400 | ||
Thereafter | 67,900 | ||
Total long term debt | $ 69,900 | ||
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized $138 of interest expense from amortization of the debt discount.

Note 6 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share:
The Company computes net loss per share under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (“SFAS 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”).
Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As the Company had a net loss applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the impact of the assumed exercise of the stock options and warrants is anti-dilutive and as such, 9,584,839 and 425,844, respectively, of common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as follows:
Common stock equivalent shares: | Three Months Ended March 31, | |||
2008 | 2007 | |||
Options | 1,763,575 | 83,191 | ||
Warrants | 84,320 | 84,320 | ||
Preferred stock | 7,736,944 | — | ||
Non-vested restricted stock | — | 258,333 | ||
Total | 9,584,839 | 425,844 | ||
Note 7 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
The Company follows SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company believes there are no such impairment indicators at March 31, 2008. The following table summarizes activity in goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Goodwill | |
Beginning balance January 1, 2008 | $ 6,000 |
Additions from Verizon acquisition (see note 11) | 13,017 |
Additions from Hands On acquisition (see note 11) | 52,817 |
Ending balance March 31, 2008 | $ 71,834 |

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized $1,429 of amortization expense. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $6,404, $6,404, $5,312, $2,006 and $2,461 for the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and thereafter, respectively.
Note 8 – Stock-based Compensation:
The Company has a stock-based compensation program that provides our Board of Directors broad discretion in creating employee equity incentives. This program includes incentive and non-statutory stock options and non-vested stock awards (also known as restricted stock) granted under various plans, the majority of which are stockholder approved. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had 1,989,175 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plan and stock purchase plan.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, requiring us to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and, therefore, we did not restate our financial results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123.
On February 11, 2008, the Company issued new stock options totaling 1,406,500 to certain employees and consultants at an exercise price of $6.57 per share. The fair value of these options was calculated under the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Risk free rate | 3.64% | |
Volatility | 48.03% | |
Expected life | 10 years | |
Dividend yield | 0.00% |
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. As a result of the option grant referred to above, the Company will recognize a total of $5,819 compensation expense over a service period of one to four years. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had recognized $485 of this expense.
In accordance with the merger agreement 220,498 Hands On stock options were exchanged for 276,246 stock options of the Company. The fair value of the Company’s options exceeded the fair value of the Hands On options by approximately $32 at January 10, 2008 under the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Risk free rate | 3.91% | |
Volatility | 48.03% | |
Expected life | 9.08-9.75 years | |
Dividend yield | 0.00% |
This excess value will be recognized as stock based compensation over the remaining vesting life of the underlying options. In addition, the Company will also recognize approximately $577 of unamortized stock based compensation as of the assumption date. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has recognized approximately $33 of these amounts as stock based compensation.
Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2008, is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of our first quarter of 2008, which was $6.50, and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in the money options on March 31, 2008. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock.
During January 2008, the Company vested 124,998 shares of restricted stock which represented all remaining restricted shares held by executive management and directors that were unvested at December 31, 2007. The Company recognized $469 and $228 of expense related to the amortization of these restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of March 31, 2008, there was no unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock.

Note 9 – Contingencies:
Various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. Although we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, any liability arising from them will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company entered into several new employment agreements with certain officers and significant employees. The employment agreements provide for initial base salaries ranging from $185 to $275. Each employee received an option grant ranging from 70,000 to 400,000 shares. The Compensation Committee may award additional bonus payments, option grants or restricted stock awards in its discretion. In the event of termination without cause or resignation for good reason (as each such term is defined in the agreements), certain severed individual shall be entitled to receive enhanced severance, in an amount equal to one year’s base salary, as well as the right to continue in Company health and welfare benefit plans for one year after termination and 90 days’ outplacement services at a level commensurate with his position. In the event of a change of control of the Company, as defined in certain executive employment agreements, 25% of the Executives’ then-unvested stock options shall immediately vest. In addition, after a change of control of the Company, all remaining unvested stock of either Executive shall immediately vest if (a) such Executive’s aggregate compensation is substantially diminished, or (b) such Executive is required to relocate more than 100 miles from his then-current residence in order to continue to perform his duties. Each agreement also provides for a $1 per month expense allowances and is reimbursed for additional business travel and entertainment expenses incurred in connection with their duties.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Hands On, the Company assumed operating leases with future minimum lease payments totaling approximately $6,775. These leases have various expiration dates from 2009 to 2013.
In connection with the Verizon acquisition, the Company entered into a Managed Services Agreement, dated August 1, 2007, with Stellar Nordia Services LLC (“Stellar Nordia”). Under that agreement, Stellar Nordia assumed facilities, employee and operational responsibilities for the two primary call centers associated with Verizon’s TRS division business. Stellar Nordia will provide inbound call relay services to the Company, utilizing Stellar Nordia’s proprietary platform and software for the newly acquired traffic from Verizon and for the Company’s existing text traffic. In addition, pursuant to a related agreement, Stellar Nordia has, as subcontractor to the Company, assumed and operates under the Company’s supervision, the call centers acquired under the asset purchase agreement for Verizon’s TRS division as well as the current, pre-acquisition traffic of the Company. The Company expects to realize material cost savings as compared to Verizon from utilizing the Stellar Nordia arrangement described in this paragraph.
The managed services agreement also provides that Stellar Nordia will undertake capital expenditures and hiring in preparation for the TRS acquisition, such that Stellar Nordia will be in a position to service existing TRS division traffic upon consummation of the closing. The managed services agreement obligates the Company to pay certain fees to Stellar Nordia if the Company elects to terminate the managed services agreement early.
The managed services agreement replaced the Company’s existing agreement with Stellar Nordia upon the closing of the acquisition of Verizon’s TRS division. Under the new agreement, provided that one or more of the state contracts are in effect, the Company has agreed to provide Stellar Nordia with rolling forecasts of its IP relay traffic demand forecasts, and has agreed to certain minimum call traffic commitments with financial penalties for failure to achieve either the traffic forecasts or the call traffic commitments as to such state contracts. The Company has agreed to pay Stellar Nordia monthly and Stellar Nordia has agreed to bill the Company in U.S. dollars. The Company agreed to reimburse Stellar Nordia for costs incurred in connection with their assuming the workforce, facilities and operational responsibilities for the two primary call centers associated with Verizon’s TRS division business in an amount not to exceed $5.5 million, paid in sixteen quarterly payments. Since the conditions of this agreement were a requirement of Verizon as a condition of sale, the Company considers these payments to be contingent consideration of the Verizon TRS division consideration in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” As of March 31, 2008 the Company has included approximately $344 in the purchase price and will continue to include additional amounts as they are incurred or become measurable.

Note 10 – Settlement of Hands On Litigation:
On May 2, 2005, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Hands On Video Relay Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Hands On Sign Language Services, Inc., a California corporation (collectively, the "Hands On Entities"). Pursuant to that agreement, all amounts that the Company advanced to Hands On were secured, initially, by the assets acquired with such funds with interest at a defined prime rate. On July 6, 2005, the Company entered into a merger agreement with the Hands On Entities and their principal shareholders (collectively, “Hands On”).
On March 1, 2006, the Company announced its receipt of a letter from Hands On in which Hands On purportedly terminated the merger agreement among the parties. Subsequent discussions between the parties did not provide a basis to pursue the merger. Hands On stockholders had approved the proposed merger with GoAmerica at special Hands On stockholder meetings held on February 22, 2006. A Special Meeting of GoAmerica Stockholders relating to the Company's proposed merger with Hands On was scheduled for March 13, 2006, adjourned from February 27, 2006 in order to allow GoAmerica to achieve a quorum with respect to the Special Meeting. As of March 6, 2006, the Company had achieved a quorum and received votes overwhelmingly in favor of the Hands On merger. On March 7, 2006, the Company announced its cancellation of its Special Meeting of Stockholders and its determination not to pursue its proposed merger with Hands On. As a result of the merger agreement termination, Hands On’s repayment obligations under the loan agreement began July 1, 2006. After the Company received all such payments due through September 30, 2006, Hands On ceased making payments due leaving an outstanding receivable of $562 at December 31, 2006.
Hands On had indicated that it did not intend to make any more payments to the Company under the existing terms of the loan agreement and that Hands On was attempting to restructure its debts and raise new capital. In December 2006, the Company commenced litigation against Hands On, seeking recovery of its loan receivable.
In April 2007, the Company executed a settlement agreement and mutual release related to its litigation with Hands On in exchange for an immediate $400 cash payment, termination of litigation, mutual release of all loan- and merger-related claims (asserted and otherwise), and other consideration and recorded a settlement loss of $162.
On January 10, 2008, the Company acquired Hands On. (see note 11)
Note 11 – Acquisitions:
Verizon TRS division acquisition:
On January 10, 2008, in an effort to increase its volume and improve its results of operations, the Company acquired the assets of Verizon’s TRS division for $46 million, including acquired working capital of $6 million. The Verizon acquisition was financed through $40 million of committed senior debt financing funded by the First Lien Administrative Agent and $33.5 million of equity financing, funded by funds managed by Clearlake (Clearlake purchased an additional 6,479,691 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $5.17 per share). The Company could be liable for up to an additional $8 million in contingent cash consideration under certain circumstances.
The purchase price has been determined as follows:
Consideration financed thru debt and equity | $46,000 | ||
Transaction costs | 5,217 | ||
Total consideration and transaction costs | 51,217 | ||
Acquired working capital | (6,000 | ) | |
Total purchase price attributable to intangable assets and goodwill | $45,217 | ||
- - 15 -
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to net tangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition. Based upon preliminary valuation reports, the Company recorded identified intangible assets. The fair value assigned to the identified intangible assets and goodwill are as follows:
Trademarks | $19,500 | |
Customer lists | 12,700 | |
Goodwill | 13,017 | |
Fair value of assets acquired | $45,217 | |
Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes, however, the amount will be amortized over a 15 year life for income tax purposes.
The fair value of these assets is subject to modification as additional information may come to management’s attention and restructuring decisions are made.
In connection with the Verizon acquisition, the Company entered into a Managed Services Agreement, dated August 1, 2007, with Stellar Nordia Services LLC (“Stellar Nordia”). (see note 9)
Hands On acquisition:
On January 10, 2008, in an effort to increase its volume and improve its results of operations, the Company acquired Hands On for $35 million, and approximately 6,700,000 shares of its common stock. The cash portion of the consideration was funded by the sale of 967,118 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price of $5.17 per share, to a fund managed by Clearlake and the issuance of $30 million in second lien new debt (see note 5).
In accordance with the merger agreement 220,498 Hands On stock options were exchanged for 276,246 stock options of the Company (see note 8).
The purchase price has been determined as follows:
Consideration financed thru debt and equity | $32,282 | |
Common shares issued | 34,621 | |
Transaction costs | 6,346 | |
Total purchase price attributable to intangable assets and goodwill | $73,249 | |

Fair value of net assets acquired | $73,249 | ||
Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting or tax purposes.
The fair value of these assets and liabilities assumed is subject to modification as additional information may come to management’s attention and restructuring decisions are made.
In conjunction with the closing of the Hands On acquisition, the Company assumed certain outstanding operating and capital leases agreements in force on the date of closing. (see note 9).
To create additional flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities, the Company has also secured a $15 million unfunded credit revolver which creates additional liquidity for the Company as needed.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the combined results of operations as if the Verizon and Hands On acquisitions described above had occurred as of January 1, 2007, and does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have occurred had the transactions been completed as of that date or of results that may occur in the future.

Note 12 – Income Taxes:
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements or adjustments to our deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. The evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of March 31, 2008.
The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event the Company may have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.
The Company had federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $181,500 and $129,400, respectively. The federal NOL carryforwards expire beginning in 2011 and state NOL’s beginning in 2008. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 enacted a complex set of rules limiting the potential utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in periods following a corporate “ownership change.” In general, for federal income tax purposes, an ownership change is deemed to occur if the percentage of stock of a loss corporation owned (actually, constructively and, in some cases, deemed) by one or more “5% shareholders” has increased by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of such stock owned during a three-year testing period. The Company believes that an ownership change has occurred with respect to the transactions described in note 11. The effect of an ownership change would be the imposition of an annual limitation on the use of net operating loss carryforwards attributable to periods before the change. The Company has not performed a detailed analysis to determine the amount of the potential limitations.
Note 13 – Related Party Transactions:
The Company entered into certain additional financing and equity agreements with Clearlake as a result of the transactions described in notes 5 and 11. On January 10, 2008, all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement with Clearlake (more fully described in note 4) were repaid in full. The Company paid Clearlake approximately $962 of interest during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Note 14 – Stockholders’ Equity:
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company entered into the following stock related transactions:
• | Sold shares of Series A Preferred Stock (see note 11). | |
• | Issued shares of Common Stock in conjunction with the acquisition of Hands On (see note 11). | |
• | Assumed outstanding stock options of Hands On in conjunction with the acquisition of Hands On (see note 8). | |
• | Granted stock options to employees and consultants (see note 8). | |
• | Accelerated the vesting of restricted stock grants (see note 8). | |
• | In January 2008, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The amendment included such provisions as: | |
o | increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock and Series A Preferred Stock to 11,671,180, | |
o | decreased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock to 50,000,000, | |
o | provided for automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock to common stock if the sale of GoAmerica common stock yields $50 million or more in gross proceeds in an underwritten public offering and the average closing price of the common stock is $15.00 or more per share over a 90-day period, and | |
o | provided for a reduction in the rate of dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock from 8% per year to 3% per year if the average closing price of the common stock is $20.00 or more per share over a 90-day period at any time one year or more after completion of the Hands On merger. | |
Note 15 – Subsequent Events:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General
GoAmerica® is a communications service provider, offering solutions primarily for consumers who are deaf, hard of hearing and/or speech impaired, including Internet relay services, wireless subscription and value added services, and wireless devices and accessories. On January 10, 2008, the Company acquired (1) certain assets of the Telecommunications Relay Services (“TRS”) division of MCI Communications Services, Inc. (“Verizon”), a leading provider of relay services transactions, and (2) Hands On Video Relay Services, Inc., a California-based provider of video relay and interpreting services. Our i711.com™ telecommunications relay service was launched in March 2005 and enables people who are deaf or hard of hearing to call and “converse” with hearing parties by using a computer, wireless handheld device or similar unit, through an operator that interprets text to voice and vice versa. In addition, during December 2006, we began offering our i711 Video Relay Service (VRS), the newest member of the i711.com™ family of relay services. i711 VRS enables people who are deaf to use sign language to communicate with hearing people using a Windows computer, a web camera, and a broadband Internet connection. We sell wireless devices and services directly to customers and indirectly through sub-dealers. We have a dealer agreement with T-Mobile whereby we sell devices and earn a commission, also called a bounty, upon activation of the device with an associated service rate plan. GoAmerica continues to support customers who use our proprietary software technology called Go.Web™.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and note receivable and recoverability of our goodwill and other intangible assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors 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 that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Recently, we have derived our revenue primarily from relay services. Revenue from relay services is recognized as revenue when services are provided or earned. Revenue from interpreting services is recognized as revenue when services are provided or earned. Revenue from commissions is recognized upon activation of subscribers on behalf of third party wireless network providers. Subscriber revenue consists primarily of monthly charges for access and usage and is recognized as the services are provided. Equipment revenue is recognized upon shipment to the end user. We estimate the collectibility of our trade and note receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including analysis of historical collection rates and the current credit-worthiness of significant customers. Significant changes in required reserves have been recorded in recent periods and may occur in the future due to current market conditions. In assessing the recoverability of our goodwill, other intangibles and other long-lived assets, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows. If such assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets not previously recorded.

Three months ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three months ended March 31, 2007
Relay services revenue.Relay services revenue increased 661%, to $27,843 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $3,660 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to our January 10, 2008 acquisition of certain assets of the Verizon TRS Division and of Hands On Video Relay Services, Inc. (“Hands On”), a California-based provider of video relay and interpreting services. Our video relay service revenue was $14,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $218 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and our telecommunications relay service revenue was $13,451 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $3,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect relay services revenue to increase as we expand our user base for both our video and telecommunication relay services.
Interpreting services revenue.Interpreting services revenue was $621 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This consisted of certified sign language interpreters providing interpreting services in situations where relay services may not be available or ideal. This increase was primarily due to our January 10, 2008 acquisition of Hands On. There was no such corresponding revenue in 2007. We expect interpreting services revenue to increase as we expand our customer base for these services.
Included in other revenue are the four components listed immediately below:
Commission revenue.Commission revenue increased to $251 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $187 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase primarily was due to increased acquisition of subscribers on behalf of wireless network providers through our indirect distribution channel. We expect commission revenue to decrease as we do not intend to concentrate marketing efforts on activities to acquire subscribers on behalf of various wireless network providers.
Subscriber revenue.Subscriber revenue decreased to $210 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $316 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in our full service offering subscriber base. We expect subscriber revenues to decline further as we do not intend to concentrate marketing efforts on these services.
- - 22 -
Equipment revenue.Equipment revenue increased slightly to $115 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $106 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect equipment revenue to decrease further as we do not intend to concentrate marketing efforts on activities to acquire subscribers on behalf of various wireless network providers.
Other revenue.Other revenue decreased to $12 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $38 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Cost of relay services revenue.Cost of relay services revenue increased 498%, to $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to our January 10, 2008 acquisition of certain assets of Verizons TRS division and of Hands On. Our cost of video relay service revenue was $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $161 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and our cost of telecommunications relay service revenue was $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect cost of relay services revenue to increase as we expand our user base for both our video and telecommunication relay services.
Cost of interpreting services revenue.Cost of interpreting services revenue was $339 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This consisted of third party service fees related to our i711.com™ telecommunications relay service. This increase was primarily due to our January 10, 2008 acquisition of Hands On Video Relay Services, Inc., a California-based provider of video relay and interpreting services. There was no such corresponding cost in 2007. We expect cost of interpreting services revenue to increase as we expand our customer base for these services.
Included in cost of other revenue are the three components listed immediately below:
Cost of subscriber revenue.Cost of subscriber airtime decreased to $188 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $310 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in our full service offering subscriber base. We expect cost of subscriber revenues to decline further as we do not intend to concentrate marketing efforts on these services.
Cost of network operations.Cost of network operations remained relatively constant at $29 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect our cost of network operations to decline as a percentage of sales.
Cost of equipment revenue.Cost of equipment revenue increased to $436 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $134 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. We expect cost of equipment revenue to decrease as we do not intend to concentrate marketing efforts on activities to acquire subscribers on behalf of various wireless network providers.
Sales and marketing.Sales and marketing expenses increased to $2,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $524 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase primarily was due to our January 10, 2008 acquisitions described above. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase as a percentage of sales as we continue to introduce new products and services to the consumer marketplace.
General and administrative.General and administrative expenses increased to $6,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $1,356 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase primarily was due to our January 10, 2008 of Verizons TRS division and of Hands On, including $988 in stock-based compensation related to the assumption of Hands On options, the accelerated vesting of previously granted restricted stock and new stock option grants. In addition, professional service fees increased by approximately $1,444 and increased salaries and benefits for personnel performing business development and general corporate activities of $1,911. We expect general and administrative expenses to decline as a percentage of revenue as our revenues increase.
Research and development. Research and development expense increased to $799 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $114 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to increased salaries and benefits for personnel performing development activities. We expect research and development expenses to increase as we continue to develop and maintain our relay technologies.
Interest income (expense), net. We incurred net interest expense of $1,665 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to net interest income of $35 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was due to interest expense incurred in connection with The Senior Debt more fully described in note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We expect net interest expense to increase as a result the debt raised by the Company to partially fund our January 10, 2008 acquisitions of Verizons TRS division and of Hands On.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and as of March 31, 2008 have an accumulated deficit of $279.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded net income of $365 and provided $9,405 of cash from operating activities and overall experienced an increase of $22,909 in our cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $25,277 in cash and cash equivalents. We currently anticipate that our available cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operating needs for at least the next 12 months. The Company secured a $15 million unfunded credit revolver which creates additional liquidity as needed. We currently have no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility.
On January 10, 2008, the Company acquired the assets of Verizon’s TRS division for $46 million in cash, including accquired working capital of $6 million, and up to an additional $8 million in contingent cash consideration. The Verizon acquisition was financed through $40 million of committed senior debt financing and $33.5 million of committed equity financing, funded in each case by funds managed by Clearlake. Concurrently with the execution of the Verizon acquisition, Clearlake purchased an additional 6,479,691 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $5.17 per share.
On January 10, 2008, the Company acquired Hands On for $35 million in cash and approximately 6,700,000 shares of its common stock. The cash portion of the consideration was funded by the sale of 967,118 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price of $5.17 per share, to a fund managed by Clearlake and the issuance of $30 million in second lien debt.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $9,405 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, principally resulting from our operating profit and changes in our operating assets and liabilities.
We used $4,807 in cash from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cash used in investing activities was principally for deferred acquisition fees and the purchases of property, equipment and leasehold improvements.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $18,311 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which resulted from the issuance of preferred stock and debt as part of our January 10, 2008 acquisitions described above.
As of March 31, 2008, our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under operating leases. As of March 31, 2008, future minimum payments for non-cancelable operating leases having terms in excess of one year amounted to $7,759, of which approximately $2,369 is payable in the next twelve months.
The following table summarizes GoAmerica’s contractual obligations at March 31, 2008, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flow in future periods.

Employment Agreements
Effective with the closing of the transactions referred to above there were changes to the following employment arrangements:
- Donald G. Barnhart's prior employment agreement was superseded by an Agreement Regarding Basic Terms of Employment (the "Superseding Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Barnhart will serve the Company as Senior Vice President, Accounting, at a base annual salary of $185. The Superseding Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Barnhart will serve on an at will basis, without a specific term of employment. He will be eligible to receive a bonus, and will receive an option grant of 70,000 shares. The options will vest at the rate of one-forty- eighth of such shares per month, provided Mr. Barnhart remains employed with the Company on each vesting date. If Mr. Barnhart's employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason (in each case as defined in the Superseding Employment Agreement), Mr. Barnhart will be entitled to receive 12 months severance.
- Jesse Odom's prior employment agreement was superseded by an Agreement Regarding Basic Terms of Employment (the "Second Superseding Employment Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Odom will serve the Company as Senior Vice President, Technology, at a base annual salary of $200. The Second Superseding Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Odom will serve on an at will basis, without a specific term of employment. He will be eligible to receive a bonus, and will receive an option grant of 100,000 shares. The options will vest at the rate of one-forty- eighth of such shares per month, provided Mr. Odom remains employed with the Company on each vesting date. If Mr. Odom's employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason (in each case as defined in the Superseding Employment Agreement), Mr. Odom will be entitled to receive 12 months severance.
- On March 20, 2008, the Company entered into new employment agreements with Daniel R. Luis, its Chief Executive Officer, and with Edmond Routhier, its President and Vice Chairman of the Board (collectively, the “Executives”). Each employment agreement is substantially the same. The employment agreements provide that both Executives are to receive an initial base salary of $275. Each executive received an option grant of 400,000 shares. The Compensation Committee may award one or both Executives additional bonus payments, option grants or restricted stock awards in its discretion. The agreements are each of indefinite term; each such agreement provides for an annual salary review, at which time the salaries paid under such agreements may be increased (but not decreased) in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. In the event that either Executive is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as each such term is defined in the agreements), he shall be entitled to receive enhanced severance, in an amount equal to one year’s base salary, as well as the right to continue in Company health and welfare benefit plans for one year after termination and 90 days’ outplacement services at a level commensurate with his position. In the event of a change of control of the Company, as defined in the employment agreements, 25% of the Executives’ then-unvested stock options shall immediately vest. In addition, after a change of control of the Company, all remaining unvested stock of either Executive shall immediately vest if (a) such Executive’s aggregate compensation is substantially diminished, or (b) such Executive is required to relocate more than 100 miles from his then-current residence in order to continue to perform his duties. Each Executive also receives a $1 per month expense allowances and is reimbursed for additional business travel and entertainment expenses incurred in connection with their duties. Each employment agreement also contains certain confidentiality provisions and requires that the Company maintain standard directors and officers insurance in the same amount as the Company maintains for other directors and officers.

- On April 1, 2008, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with John R. Ferron, who was appointed as its Chief Operating Officer on that same date. Until June 2, 2008, Mr. Ferron will be employed on a part-time basis as the Company's Chief Operating Officer, and after June 2, 2008, Mr. Ferron will be employed on a full-time basis as the Company's Chief Operating Officer and as its Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Ferron will receive an annual base salary of $130 during the period of his part-time employment, and thereafter will receive an annual base salary of $260. Upon commencement of his employment, Mr. Ferron also received a cash bonus of $40. Mr. Ferron's Employment Agreement provides for his employment by the Company on an "at will" basis, and may be terminated by the Company at any time, subject to its obligation to provide severance benefits under certain circumstances as described below. If Mr. Ferron is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as each such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), he will be entitled to receive enhanced severance, in an amount equal to one year's base salary, as well as the right to continue in Company health and welfare benefit plans for one year after termination and 90 days' outplacement services at a level commensurate with his position. In the event of a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Employment Agreement), 25% of Mr. Ferron's then-unvested stock options shall immediately vest. In addition, after a change of control of the Company, all remaining unvested stock of Mr. Ferron shall immediately vest if (a) Mr. Ferron's aggregate compensation is substantially diminished, or (b) Mr. Ferron is required to perform the majority of his obligations under the Employment Agreement from an office located more than 100 miles from Los Gatos, California (where he currently resides and intends to establish a small Company office). These accelerated vesting provisions will not apply to the 75,000 share option until such time as the Company's stockholders approve an amendment to the Plan permitting additional grants to be made under the Plan, as described above (see option grant below). Mr. Ferron will be reimbursed for up to $3 per month of direct, incurred expenses for one or more of the following: (a) corporate housing near the Company's northern California offices, (b) office space in Los Gatos, California, and/or (c) use of a car service, with driver, for business purposes. Mr. Ferron also receives a $1 per month expense allowance and is reimbursed for additional business travel and entertainment expenses incurred in connection with their duties. The employment agreement also contains certain confidentiality provisions and requires that the Company maintain standard directors and officers insurance covering Mr. Ferron in the same amount as the Company maintains for other directors and officers. On April 2, 2008, Mr. Ferron was granted an option to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share pursuant to the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). Such option vests in 48 equal monthly installments, commencing on the date of grant and continuing on the first day of each month thereafter. On April 2, 2008, Mr. Ferron also was granted an option to purchase an additional 75,000 shares of common stock. Such option is on substantially the same terms as the 200,000 share option, except that the 75,000 share option may not be exercised until such time as the Company's stockholders approve an amendment to the Plan permitting additional grants to be made under the Plan, and will expire if such shareholder approval is not obtained by June 30, 2008. The Compensation Committee also may make additional option grants or restricted stock awards to Mr. Ferron in its discretion from time to time.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged, but the issuance of FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2 has delayed the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 as it relates to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” to permit all entities to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The decision whether to elect the fair value option may occur for each eligible item either on a specified election date or according to a preexisting policy for specified types of eligible items. However, that decision must also take place on a date on which criteria under SFAS 159 occurs. Finally, the decision to elect the fair value option shall be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, except in certain circumstances. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an entity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“SFAS 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R ) applies to fiscal years beginning on or after December 18, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141(R) on its results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, this statement requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 applies to fiscal years beginning on or after December 18, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on its results of operations and financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provided greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect and entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We believe that we have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. At March 31, 2008, all of our available excess funds are cash or cash equivalents. The value of our cash and cash equivalents is not materially affected by changes in interest rates. A hypothetical change in interest rates of 1.0% would result in an annual change in our net income of approximately $253,000 based on cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2008. We currently hold no derivative instruments and do not earn foreign-source income.
