1. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions toForm 10-Q and Article 10 ofRegulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included in our 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Effective April 1, 2006, we changed our estimate of the useful life of our computer hardware and software, used in our Service Bureau, from three to four years. The change in estimate resulted from our evaluation of the life cycles of our hardware and software used in the Service Bureau and our conclusion that these assets consistently have a longer life than previously estimated. We believe this change in estimate more accurately reflects the productive life of these assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the change in life has been accounted for as a change in estimate on a prospective basis from April 1, 2006. For the three- and six months ended June 30, 2007, this change in accounting estimate reduced the net loss by approximately $400 and $800, respectively, or a net loss per share by $0.01 and $0.02.
Software Development Costs. For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007, we capitalized $442 and $887 of software development costs for certain software projects after the point of technological feasibility had been reached but before the products were available for general release. Accordingly, these costs have been capitalized as software development costs in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives beginning when the products are available for general release. The capitalized costs relate to our location-based software, which is part of our continuing operations.
Stock-Based Compensation. We have two stock-based employee compensation plans: our Fifth Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). We have also previously issued restricted stock to directors and certain key executives as described in Note 2. Beginning January 1, 2006, we record compensation expense for all stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123,Share Based Payment, as revised (SFAS 123(R)). Our adoption of SFAS 123(R) is discussed in Note 2.
In conjunction with our implementation of SFAS 123(R), our non-cash stock compensation expense has been allocated to direct cost of revenue, research and development expense, sales and marketing expense, and general and administrative expense as detailed in Note 2.
Earnings per share. Basic income/(loss) per common share is based upon the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time, the impact of adoption of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position is being assessed.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48) which prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting interim periods, disclosure and transition. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not initial recognition threshold, no benefit is recorded in the financial statements. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 for which there as no cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation. The Company classifies interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the Provision for income taxes. There were no interest or penalties recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 and the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007. The Company does not currently anticipate that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within the next 12 months. The Company files income tax returns in U.S. and state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local tax examinations in major tax jurisdictions before 2003.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities.” SFAS 159 allows companies to elect to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

2. | Stock-Based Compensation |
We have two stock-based employee compensation plans: our Fifth Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive Plan) and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Stock based compensation expense for all awards granted after December 31, 2005 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Consistent with the requirements of SFAS 123(R), we recognized compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures, so that we have recognized expense for those shares expected to vest over their requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of 5 years. We estimated the rate of forfeitures based on historical experience.

We also recognize non-cash stock compensation expense for restricted stock issued to directors and certain key executives. The restrictions expire at the end of one year for directors and expire in annual increments over three years for executives and are based on continued employment. The fair value of the restricted stock at issuance is being amortized using the straight-line method over the period during which the restrictions expire. We had approximately 11,000 shares of restricted stock outstanding as of December 31, 2006, and 53,000 at June 30, 2007. We expect to record future stock compensation expense of $159 as a result of these restricted stock grants that will be recognized over the remaining vesting period in 2007.
The material components of our stock compensation expense are as follows:

4. | Enterprise Assets-Discontinued Operations |
As of December 31, 2005, we committed to a plan to sell our Enterprise division operations, which had previously been included in our Commercial Segment. They continued to be a part of our business until sold during the first half of 2007. Their operations and cash flows of the business have been eliminated from those of continuing operations and the Company does not expect to have any significant involvement in the operations after the disposal transaction. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows for the Enterprise assets have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets(Statement No. 144).
The assets of discontinued operations were classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During May 2007, the last Enterprise unit was sold to TPA Acquisition Corporation for $3,800 in cash, a $1,00018-month note, and $250 in equity interest. As of June 30, 2007, the Company received $4,000 in proceeds on the sale, net of closing costs. Approximately $200 remains in escrow. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company sold two of its three Enterprise units to strategic buyers for unregistered stock in the acquiring publicly traded companies and earn-out arrangements. The Mobile Finance unit, including its US and European operations, was sold to Stockgroup Information Systems, Inc. for 1.5 million shares of unregistered stock. Assets of the Mobile Office unit, doing business as mobeo®, were acquired by MobilePro Corporation for 9 million shares of unregistered stock.

5. | Financing Arrangements |
On June 25, 2007, we refinanced $10,000 of long term debt with a five year bank term loan. The borrowing rate under the new term loan at June 30, 2007 was 8.5% per annum and the note is repayable in equal monthly installments of $167 plus interest. The funds were used primarily to retire the March 2006 secured notes. In March 2006, we issued (i) $10,000 of secured notes due March 10, 2009, with cash interest at 14% per annum, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.75 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The resulting carrying value of the debt at

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
issuance was $6,500, net of the original discount of $3,500 which was amortized to interest expense over its three-year term using the effective interest method, yielding an effective interest rate of 15.2%. The remaining unamortized debt discount and issuance expenses of $2.4 million were written off in the second quarter of 2007 as a result of early retirement of the March 2006 note. In December 2006, we issued a $5,000 three year term note secured by accounts receivable of one customer.
Our two operating segments are the Commercial Segment and the Government Segment.
Our Commercial Segment products and services enable wireless carriers to deliver short text messages, location information, internet content, and other enhanced communication services to and from wireless phones.

We also earn subscriber revenue through wireless applications including our Rand McNallytm Traffic application.
Our Government Segment provides communication systems integration, information technology services, and software systems and services to the U.S. Department of Defense and other government customers. We also own and operate secure satellite teleport facilities, resell access to satellite airtime (known as space segment), and design, furnish, install and operate data network communication systems, including our SwiftLink® deployable communication systems.
Management evaluates segment performance based on gross profit. We do not maintain information regarding segment assets. Accordingly, asset information by reportable segment is not presented.
The following table sets forth results for our reportable segments for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. All revenues reported below are from external customers.

9. | Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers |
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. Accounts receivable are generally due within thirty days and no collateral is required. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses and historically such losses have been within our expectations.
The following tables summarize revenue and accounts receivable concentrations from our significant customers:

We have a $22,000 revolving credit line with our principal bank through June 2010. Upon amendment of our agreement with the bank, the borrowing rate was reduced from the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25% to the bank’s prime rate which was 8.25% per annum at June 30, 2007. Borrowings at any time are limited based mainly on accounts receivable levels and a working capital ratio, each as defined in the amended line of credit agreement. The line of credit available is also reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding which totaled $2,921 at June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, we had no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit and had approximately $8,600 of unused borrowing availability under the line.
Our line of credit and term loan agreement contains covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum adjusted quick ratio and a minimum liquidity ratio which we are required to meet on a monthly basis; as well as other restrictive covenants including, among others, restrictions on our ability to merge, acquire assets above prescribed thresholds, undertake actions outside the ordinary course of our business (including the incurrence of indebtedness), guarantee debt, distribute dividends, and repurchase our stock, and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth.
The agreement also contains a subjective covenant that requires (i) no material adverse change in the business, operations, or financial condition of our Company occur, or (ii) no material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the borrowings; or (iii) no material impairment of value or priority of the lenders security interests in the collateral of the bank credit agreement. We believe that the Company will continue to comply with its restrictive covenants. If our performance does not result in compliance with any of our restrictive covenants, we would seek to further modify our financing arrangements, but there can be no assurance that the bank would not exercise its rights and remedies under its agreement with us, including declaring all outstanding debt due and payable.
As of June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all of the covenants related to our line of credit.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other detailed information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 (this“Form 10-Q”). ThisForm 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. We generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as “believe”, “intend”, “expect”, “may”, “should”, “plan”, “project”, “contemplate”, “anticipate”, or other similar statements. Examples of forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q include, but are not limited to statements: (a) regarding our belief as to the sufficiency of our capital resources to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months, (b) that we expect to realize approximately $39 million of backlog in the balance of this year and $71 million of backlog in the next twelve months, (c) that we believe our location-based software is positioned for early adoption by carriers, (d) regarding our belief that we will be able to comply with the restrictive covenants of our credit agreements; and (e) that we believe that capitalized software development costs will be recoverable from future gross profits. These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations. In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all such projected operational matters, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved or that any of our operating expectations will be realized. Our actual financial results realized could differ materially from the statements made herein, depending in particular upon the risks and uncertainties described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These include without limitation risks and uncertainties relating to our financial results and our ability to (i) reach and sustain profitability, (ii) continue to rely on our customers and other third parties to provide additional products and services that create a demand for our products and services, (iii) conduct our business in foreign countries, (iv) adapt and integrate new technologies into our products, (v) expand our sales and business offerings in the wireless communications industry, (vi) develop software without any errors or defects, (vii) have sufficient capital resources to fund the Company’s operations, (viii) protect our intellectual property rights, (ix) implement our sales and marketing strategy, and (x) successfully integrate the assets and personnel obtained in our acquisitions. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The information in this “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments. Our most significant estimates relate to accounting for our percentage-of-completion and proportional performance contracts, accounts receivable realizability, inventory value, evaluating goodwill for impairment, the realizability and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets, and contingent liabilities. 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 value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
14
We have identified our most critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition for our software and other contracts with multiple elements, revenue recognition for our contracts accounted for using the percentage-of-completion and proportional performance methods, capitalized software development costs, acquired intangible assets, goodwill impairment, stock compensation expense, and income taxes. We describe these accounting policies in relevant sections of this discussion and analysis. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006Form 10-K”).
Overview
Our business is reported across two market segments: (i) our Commercial Segment, which consists principally of enhanced communication services to and from wireless phones, location application software, our E9-1-1 application and other hosted services, and (ii) our Government Segment, which includes the design, development and deployment of information processing and communication systems and related services to government agencies.
As of December 31, 2005, we committed to a plan to sell our Enterprise assets which were comprised of three operating units. Two of the units were subscriber businesses, which sold BlackBerry® services and provided real-time financial market data to wireless device users under annual subscriber contracts in the U.S. and Europe, and wireless data solutions for mobile asset management business. The two subscriber business units were sold effective January 1, 2007 to two different buyers. The third unit provided wireless data solutions that include package and vehicle tracking, productivity tools, and the ability to capture digital signatures for proof of delivery to a growing installed base of logistics customers, and was sold during May 2007. The operations and cash flows of the business were eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of their sales. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations for the Enterprise assets have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in thisForm 10-Q. The operations of the Enterprise assets were previously included in our Commercial Segment.
On June 25, 2007, we issued $10 million of long-term debt under a bank term loan. The funds were used primarily to retire the March 2006 secured notes. On March 10, 2006, pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated the same date, we issued and sold to two institutional lenders (i) $10 million in aggregate principal amount of secured notes due March 10, 2009, with cash interest at the rate of 14% per annum, or non-cash interest at the rate of 16% per annum, at our option, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.75 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $9.3 million from this transaction, which were used for general corporate purposes.
This “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” provides information that our management believes to be necessary to achieve a clear understanding of our financial statements and results of operations. You should read this “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” together with Item 1A “Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2006Form 10-K as well as the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto located elsewhere in thisForm 10-Q.
Indicators of Our Financial and Operating Performance
Our management monitors and analyzes a number of key performance indicators in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance. Those indicators include:
| | |
| • | Revenue and gross profit. We derive revenue from the sales of systems and services including recurring monthly service and subscriber fees, software licenses and related service fees for the design, development, and deployment of software and communication systems, and products and |
15
| | |
| | services derived from the delivery of information processing and communication systems to governmental agencies. |
| | |
| • | Gross profit represents revenue minus direct cost of revenue, including certain non-cash expenses. The major items comprising our cost of revenue are compensation and benefits, third-party hardware and software, amortization of software development costs, non-cash stock-based compensation, and overhead expenses. The costs of hardware and third-party software are primarily associated with the delivery of systems, and fluctuate from period to period as a result of the relative volume, mix of projects, level of service support required and the complexity of customized products and services delivered. Amortization of software development costs, including acquired technology, is associated with the recognition of systems revenue from our Commercial Segment. |
|
| • | Operating expenses. Our operating expenses are primarily compensation and benefits, professional fees, facility costs, marketing and sales-related expenses, and travel costs as well as certain non-cash expenses such as non-cash stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. |
|
| • | Liquidity and cash flows. The primary driver of our cash flows is the results of our operations including discontinued operations. Important sources of our liquidity have been cash raised from our 2007 debt financing, all as described below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, and borrowings under our bank credit agreement and lease financings secured for the purchase of equipment. |
|
| • | Balance sheet. We view cash, working capital, and accounts receivable balances and days revenues outstanding as important indicators of our financial health. |

Commercial Services Revenue, Cost of Revenue, and Gross Profit:
Commercial services revenue decreased 5% and 8%, respectively, for the three-and six-months ended June 30, 2007 versus the comparable periods of 2006.
Our commercial service offerings mainly include our hosted Wireless E9-1-1, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) E9-1-1 service, hosted Position Determining Entity (PDE), and hosted Location Based Service (LBS) applications. Revenue from these offerings primarily consists of monthly recurring service fees and is recognized in the month earned.E-911, PDE, VoIP and hosted LBS service fees are priced based on units served during the period, such as the number of customer cell sites served, the number of connections to Public Service Answering Points (PSAPs), or the number of customer subscribers served. Subscriber service revenue is generated by client software applications such as Rand McNallytm Traffic and StreetFinder®. Maintenance fees on our systems and software licenses are collected in advance and recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Unrecognized fees are included in deferred revenue. Custom software development, implementation and maintenance services may be provided under time and materials or fixed-fee contracts. Commercial services revenue in the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, lower than the same periods for 2006. Revenue from increased service connection deployments for our VoIP and E9-1-1 services was offset by decreases in the average fee received per unit under pricing arrangement with some customers, and the loss of a mid-tier wireless carrier customer in the third quarter of 2006.
The direct cost of commercial services revenue consists primarily of network access, data feed and circuit costs, compensation and benefits, equipment and software maintenance. The direct costs of maintenance revenue consists primarily of compensation and benefits expense. For the three-months ended June 30, 2007, the direct cost of service revenue decreased 8% from 2006. Similarly, the direct cost of services revenue including decreased 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. During the 2007 periods, we incurred less labor and direct costs related to custom development efforts responding to customer requests and deployment requirements for VoIP E9-1-1 customers. For both the three- and six-month ended June 30, 2007, the cost of circuit and other data access costs accounted for approximately 15% of total direct costs of service revenues. Such costs comprised approximately 13% and 12%, respectively, of the total direct costs of our commercial service revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006. The increase as a percentage of revenue for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 is in direct relation with the decrease in revenue.
Commercial services gross profit was approximately 48% and 46% of commercial services revenue for both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Improved operating efficiencies have enabled reductions in labor, fringe and contractors costs so that the approximately the same gross profit was realized on lower revenue.
Commercial Systems Revenue, Cost of Revenue, and Gross Profit:
We sell communications systems incorporating our licensed software for enhanced services, mainly text messaging and location-based services, to wireless network operators. We design our licensed software to ensure that it is compliant with applicable interoperability standards, notably including the GSM/UMTS standards for location-based wireless services that were established in 2005 so that we believe our location based software is positioned for early adoption by carriers.
Licensing fees for our carrier software are generally a function of its usage in our customers’ networks. As a carrier’s subscriber base or usage exceeds licensed limits, the carrier must purchase additional capacity under its license agreement, and we receive additional license revenue. Systems revenues typically contain multiple elements, which may include the product license, installation,
17
integration, and hardware. The total arrangement fee is allocated among each element based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the relative fair value of each of the elements. Fair value is generally determined based on the price charged when the element is sold separately. In the absence of evidence of fair value of a delivered element, revenue is allocated first to the undelivered elements based on fair value and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. The software licenses are generally perpetual licenses for a specified number of users that allow for the purchase of annual maintenance at a specified rate. We recognize license fee revenue when each of the following has occurred: (1) evidence of an arrangement is in place; (2) we have delivered the software; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the fee is probable. Software projects that require significant customization are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. We measure progress to completion using costs incurred compared to estimated total costs or labor costs incurred compared to estimated total labor costs for contracts that have a significant component of third-party materials costs. We recognize estimated losses under long-term contracts in their entirety upon discovery. If we did not accurately estimate total costs to complete a contract or do not manage our contracts within the planned budget, then future margins may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Software license fees billed and not recognized as revenue are included in deferred revenue.
Commercial systems revenue was 66% lower for the three- month period ended June 30, 2007 than the comparable period of 2006, due to lower sales of licensed text messaging capacity. Commercial systems revenue was 13% higher for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 than for the comparable period of 2006 because a major carrier customer made a large purchase of increased license capacity in the first quarter of 2007, compared to a smaller purchase in the first two quarters of 2006.
The direct cost of our systems consists primarily of compensation, benefits, purchased equipment, third-party software, travel expenses, and consulting fees as well as the amortization of both acquired and capitalized software development costs for all reported periods. There is no significant direct cost associated with customer purchases of licensed capacity. During 2007, direct costs of systems included $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of amortization of software development costs, in the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007. In the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2006, the composition of the direct cost of our systems was about the same except for $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of amortization of software development costs. The increase in the direct costs of systems in the three- and six-month ended June 30, 2007 is due to new customs solutions.
Our commercial systems gross profit was 8% and 67%, respectively, in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 versus 76% for both the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2006. For both comparable periods, the average gross profit declined as a percentage of revenue as a result of lower sales of licensed software capacity.

We provide products and services to government customers under long-term contracts. We recognize contract revenue as billable costs are incurred and for fixed-price product delivery contracts using the percentage-of-completion method or proportional performance method, measured by either total labor costs or total costs incurred compared to total estimated labor costs or total estimated costs. We recognize estimated losses on contracts in their entirety upon discovery. If we have not accurately estimated total labor costs or total costs to complete a contract or do not manage our contracts within the planned budget, then future margins may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized, or contract terms must be renegotiated. Under our contracts with the U.S. Government, contract costs, including the allocated indirect expenses, are subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Since the Company’s 1987 inception, no significant adjustment has resulted from a DCAA audit. We record revenue under Government contracts at estimated net realizable amounts.
Government Services Revenue, Cost of Revenue, and Gross Profit:
Government services revenue primarily consists of communications engineering, program management, help desk outsource, telecom expense management, and network management and engineering. Our Government Segment also operates teleport facilities for data connectivity via satellite to and from North and South America, Africa and Europe. Most such services are delivered under time and materials contracts. For fixed-price service contracts, we recognize revenue using the proportional performance method. We recognize estimated losses on contracts in their entirety upon discovery. If we do not accurately estimate total labor costs or total costs to complete a contract or do not manage our contracts within the planned budget, then future margins may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized, or contract terms must be renegotiated.
Government services revenues increased to $8.0 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2006, and increased to $15.2 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2007 from $13.9 million for the comparable period of 2006. The increases were a result of both new and expanded-scope contracts, and some special projects for customers in 2007.

Direct cost of government service revenue consists of compensation, benefits and travel incurred in delivering these services, as well as satellite space segment purchased for resale government customers. The direct costs of government services increased in direct relation to the increase in government services revenue.
Our gross profit from government services was $1.9 million in the three- months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.8 million in the same period of 2006. Gross profit was $3.4 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2007 versus $3.6 million in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 decreased as a result of lower average pricing on the renewal of several contracts.
Government Systems Revenue, Cost of Revenue, and Gross Profit:
We generate government systems revenue from the design, development, assembly and deployment of information processing and communication systems, primarily deployable communications systems, and integration of those systems into customer networks, which are largely variations on our SwiftLink® product line. These are lightweight, secure, deployable communications systems, sold to units of the U.S. Departments of State, Justice, and Defense, and other agencies. We recognize contract revenue as billable costs are incurred, and for fixed-price product delivery contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by either total labor costs, total costs incurred, or units shipped compared to total estimated labor costs, or units as appropriate under the contract. We recognize estimated losses on contracts in their entirety upon discovery. If we have not accurately estimated total labor costs or costs to complete a contract or do not manage our contracts within the planned budget, then future margins may be negatively affected or losses on existing contracts may need to be recognized. Systems sales in our Government Segment were $11.4 million and $17.9 million for the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $5.5 million and $11.8 million for the three- and six- month ended June 30, 2006. The increases represent higher sales volume in 2007, resulting mainly from the fulfillment of task orders under the Army Worldwide Satellite Systems (WWSS)5-year contract vehicle, for which TCS was named one of six vendors in the third quarter of 2006.
The cost of our government systems revenue consists of purchased system components, compensation, benefits, travel, satellite airtime, and the costs of third-party contractors that we engage. These equipment and third-party costs are variable for our various types of products, and margins fluctuate between periods based on the respective product mixes.
Our government systems gross profit decreased to $1.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in the three- and six- months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of 2006 mainly as a result of lower margins on the sales to date under the WWSS vehicle.
Major Customers
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue were Verizon Wireless and U.S. Government agencies, measured as a single customer. The loss of either of these customers would have a material adverse impact on our business. Verizon Wireless and various U.S. Government agencies also accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2006. Verizon Wireless is a customer of our Commercial Segment, and the various U.S. Government agencies are customers of our Government Segment.

Revenue Backlog
As of June 30, 2007 and 2006, we had unfilled orders, or funded backlog, as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | |
($ in millions) | | 2007 | | | 2006 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Expected to be realized within 12 months | | $ | 71.3 | | | $ | 57.4 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Backlog for our hosted services is computed by multiplying the most recent month’s recurring revenue times the remaining months under existing long-term agreements, which we believe is the best available information for anticipating revenue under those agreements. Company backlog at any given time may be affected by a number of factors, including contracts being renewed or new contracts being signed before existing contracts are completed. Some of our backlog could be canceled for causes such as late delivery, poor performance and other factors. Accordingly, a comparison of backlog from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of eventual actual revenue.

Our research and development expense consists primarily of compensation, benefits, and a proportionate share of facilities and corporate overhead. The costs of developing software products are expensed prior to establishing technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is established for our software products when a detailed program design is completed. We incur research and development costs to enhance existing packaged software products as well as to create new software products, including software hosted in our network operations center. These costs primarily include compensation and benefits as well as costs associated with using third-party laboratory and testing resources. We expense such costs as they are incurred unless technological feasibility has been reached and we believe that the capitalized costs will be recoverable.
The expenses we incur relate mainly to software applications which are being marketed to new and existing customers on a global basis. Throughout the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, research and development was focused on cellular and hosted location-based applications, such as navigation, traffic, and point-of-interest finder, wireless and Voice over IP E9-1-1 software, enhancements to our hosted location-based service platform and to our wireless text messaging software.
For the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we capitalized $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of research and development costs for certain software projects in accordance with the above policy. The capitalized costs relate to our software for wireless location-based services. These costs will be amortized on aproduct-by-product basis using the straight-line method over the products’ estimated useful life, not longer than three years. Amortization is also computed using the ratio that current revenue for the product bears to the total of current and anticipated future revenue for that product (the revenue curve method). If this revenue curve method results in amortization greater than the
21
amount computed using the straight-line method, amortization is recorded at that greater amount. We believe that these capitalized costs will be recoverable from future gross profits generated by these products.
Research and development expenses were lower for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 than in the second quarter of 2006 as the result of directing more of our developers’ time and resources to customized client projects. For the six-months ended June 30, 2007 research and development expenses were about the same as for the first half of 2006.

Our sales and marketing expenses include compensation and benefits, trade show expenses, travel costs, advertising and public relations costs as well as a proportionate share of facility-related costs which are expensed as incurred. Our marketing efforts also include speaking engagements and attending and sponsoring industry conferences. We sell our software products and services through our direct sales force and through indirect channels. We have also historically leveraged our relationships with original equipment manufacturers to market our software products to wireless carrier customers. We sell our products and services to the U.S. Government primarily through direct sales professionals. These expenses have declined as a percentage of total revenue.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with management, finance, legal, human resources and internal information systems. These costs include compensation, benefits, professional fees, travel, and a proportionate share of rent, utilities and other facilities costs which are expensed as incurred. General and administrative expenses also included $0.2 million of non-cash stock compensation expense for both three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 as a result of the implementation of SFAS 123(R). The increase in 2007 spending was primarily due to higher legal fees associated with intellectual property protection, including about $0.8 million of nonrecurring patent litigation expenses during the second quarter of 2007.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment represents the period costs associated with our investment in computers, telephone equipment, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. We compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of our assets generally ranges from 5 years for furniture, fixtures, and leasehold improvements to 3 years for most other types of assets including computers, software, telephone equipment and vehicles. Depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2007 reflects a lower balance of net fixed asset cost than a year ago. As of April 1, 2006, a review of experience with equipment and software used in our service bureau operations led us to adjust their average asset lives from three years to four years. Depreciation expense for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 was about $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, lower than it would have been if three-year asset lives had been used.

Interest expense is incurred under notes payable, a revolving credit line, and capital lease obligations. Interest on our note payable dating prior to 2007 is primarily at stated interest rates of 7.75% per annum and interest on our line of credit borrowing is at the bank’s prime rate which rates equal to 8.25% per
23
annum as of June 30, 2007. On June 25, 2007, we refinanced our $10 million long term debt with a new five year note payable to our principal bank. The borrowing rate under the new note at June 30, 2007, was 8.5% per annum and the note is repayable in equal monthly installments of $0.2 million plus interest. The funds were used primarily to retire the March 2006 secured notes (2006 Notes). In March 2006, we issued and sold $10 million of secured notes, with cash interest at the rate of 14% per annum, along with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.75 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. The 2006 Notes provided for optional in-kind interest payments, but we paid all interest due under the 2006 Notes with cash. In December 2006, we borrowed $5 million under 3 year notes secured by accounts receivable of one customer. Our bank line of credit expires in June 2010, and our maximum line of credit is $22 million, subject to borrowing base limitations and working capital metrics. There were no borrowings outstanding under our line of credit at June 30, 2007.
Cash interest expense on notes payable in the second quarter of 2007 was about the same as in the second quarter of 2006. The interest for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 was higher than the same period in 2006 due to higher overall average principal outstanding during the quarter, due to the effect of the higher priced March 2006 debt. The interest cost of capital lease financings was about the same in both periods.
Deferred financing fees relate to the up-front expenditures at the time of contracting for notes payable and our revolving line of credit facility, which are being amortized over the term of the note or the life of the facility. The higher amortization in the first quarter of 2007 reflected fees to borrow the 2006 Notes. The lower amortization in the second quarter of 2007 include the unamortized debt issuance expenses of $0.4 million associated with the 2006 Notes which were written off upon their early retirement.
The amortization of debt discount relates to the issuance of the 2006 Warrants. The value of these warrants was estimated to be $2.9 million, determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital. The value of the adjustments to the 2004 Warrants was estimated to be $0.6 million using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital in the first quarter of 2006. The total debt discount at issuance of $3.5 million was being amortized to interest expense over the three year life of the 2006 Notes, yielding an effective interest rate of 15.2%. The remaining balance of $2.0 million of unamortized debt discount was fully expensed upon the retirement of those notes in the second quarter of 2007.
Our total interest and financing expense increased for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2007 versus the comparable periods of 2006 primarily as a result of the one time charge associated with the refinancing of our $10 million term debt.
Other income/(expense), net:
Other income/(expense), net consists primarily of foreign currency translation/transaction gain or loss, which is dependent on international fluctuations in exchange rates. The other components of other income/(expense), net typically remain comparable between periods and are not significant.
Income taxes:
Because we have generated significant net operating losses since 1999, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been made for the three- or six-months ended June 30, 2007 or any portion of 2006. We have recorded a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as a result of the uncertainty regarding our ability to fully realize our net operating loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets.
Discontinued Operations — Enterprise assets
As of December 31, 2005, we committed to a plan to sell the Enterprise assets which we acquired from Aether Systems, Inc. in 2004. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company sold two of its three
24
Enterprise units, carried as discontinued operations, to strategic buyers for unregistered stock in the acquiring companies and earn-out arrangements. The Mobile Finance unit, including its US and European operations, was sold to Stockgroup Information Systems, Inc. for 1.5 million shares of unregistered stock. Assets of the Mobile Office unit, doing business as mobeo®, was acquired by MobilePro Corporation for 9 million shares of unregistered stock. During May 2007, the remaining Mobile Asset Management unit, which provides package and vehicle tracking solutions, was sold to TPA Acquisition Corporation for $4.0 million in cash, a $1.0 million 18 month note, and $0.2 million in equity interest.

The second quarter 2007 revenue, gross profit, and operating expenses include only Mobile Asset Management division operations through May 21, 2007. The second quarter 2006 operating results, included the revenue and costs of the two subscriber-based divisions that were sold effective January 1, 2007. Other income in 2007 represents the estimated earn-out payments earned during the quarter under our subscriber unit divestiture agreements. In accordance with the relevant accounting literature, we ceased depreciation and amortization of the long-lived enterprise assets when they became classified as discontinued operations in 2005.

On June 25, 2007, we refinanced $10 million of long term debt with a five year bank term loan. The borrowing rate under the new term loan at June 30, 2007, was 8.5% per annum and the note is repayable in equal monthly installments of $0.2 million plus interest. The funds were used primarily to retire the March 2006 secured notes. In March 2006, we issued (i) $10 million of secured notes due March 10, 2009, with cash interest at 14% per annum, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.75 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. Also, some warrants issued in 2004 contained provisions which required an adjustment in both the warrant price and the number of warrants outstanding as a consequence of the issuance of 2006 Warrants. The resulting carrying value of the debt at issuance was $6.5 million, net of the original discount of $3.5 million which was amortized to interest expense over its three-year term using the effective interest method, yielding an effective interest rate of 15.2%. The remaining unamortized debt discount and deferred debt issuance expenses of $2.4 million were written off in the second quarter of 2007 as a result of early retirement of the March 2006 note. In December 2006, we issued a $5 million three year term note secured by accounts receivable of one customer.
We have a $22 million revolving credit agreement line with our principal bank through June 2010. Upon amendment of our agreement with the bank in the second quarter of 2007, the borrowing rate was reduced from the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25% to the bank’s prime rate which was 8.25% per annum at June 30, 2007. Borrowings at any time are limited based mainly on accounts receivable levels and a working capital ratio, each as defined in the amended line of credit agreement. the line of credit available is also reduced by the amount of letters of credit outstanding, which was $2.9 million at June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, we had no borrowings outstanding under our bank line of credit and had approximately $8.6 million of unused borrowing availability under the line.

Our line of credit and term loan agreement contains covenants requiring us to maintain a minimum adjusted quick ratio and a minimum liquidity ratio which we are required to meet on a monthly basis; as well as other restrictive covenants including, among others, restrictions on our ability to merge, acquire assets above prescribed thresholds, undertake actions outside the ordinary course of our business (including the incurrence of indebtedness), guarantee debt, distribute dividends, and repurchase our stock, and minimum tangible net worth as described below. The bank credit agreement also contains a subjective covenant that requires (i) no material adverse change in the business, operations, or financial condition of our Company occur, or (ii) no material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the bank credit agreement; or (iii) no material impairment of value or priority of the lenders security interests in the collateral of the bank credit agreement. We believe that the Company will continue to comply with its restrictive covenants. If our performance does not result in compliance with any of our restrictive covenants, we would seek to further modify our financing arrangements, but there can be no assurance that the bank would not exercise its rights and remedies under its agreement with us, including declaring all outstanding debt due and payable. As of June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all of the covenants related to our line of credit and we believe that the Company will continue to comply with its restrictive covenants.
We currently believe that we have sufficient capital resources with cash generated from operations as well as cash on hand to meet our anticipated cash operating expenses, working capital, and capital expenditure and debt service needs for the next twelve months. We also have borrowing capacity available to us in the form of capital leases as well as a line of credit arrangement with our bank which expires in June 2010. We may also consider raising capital in the public markets as a means to meet our capital needs and to invest in our business. Although we may need to return to the capital markets, establish new credit facilities or raise capital in private transactions in order to meet our capital requirements, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to access these potential sources of funds on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Cash generated by the operating activities of continuing operations totaled $6.1 million in the first six months of 2007, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and a net decrease in working capital. Discontinued operations used $3.3 million for operations, and generated $4.0 million from sale of assets during the six month period.
Cash was invested in fixed asset additions and capitalized software development projects totaling $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Significant financing activities in the first half included $10 million of new term debt raised in the second quarter, offset by net debt repayments totaling an approximately equal amount.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2007, we had standby letters of credit issued on our behalf of approximately $2.9 million, principally pursuant to a contracting requirement for our Government segment’s City of Baltimore services contract.
Contractual Commitments
As of June 30, 2007, our most significant commitments consisted of term debt, obligations under capital leases and non-cancelable operating leases. We lease certain furniture and computer equipment under capital leases. We lease office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. As of June 30, 2007 our commitments consisted of the following:

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Interest Rate Risk
There have not been any material changes to our interest rate risk as described in Item 7A of our 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K.
Foreign Currency Risk
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, we generated $1.3 million and $2.8 million of revenue, respectively, outside the U.S., mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. A change in exchange rates would not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2007, we had no billed accounts receivable that were denominated in foreign currencies and would be exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. During 2007, our average receivables subject to foreign currency exchange risk were $0.2 million. We have not had a material balance of unbilled receivables denominated in foreign currency at any point in 2007. We have recorded immaterial transaction losses of foreign currency denominated deferred revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2007 and $0.1 million for six-months ended June 30, 2007.
There have not been any other material changes to our foreign currency risk as described in Item 7A of our 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required byRule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2007.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter 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 |
We are not subject to any material legal proceedings other than as previously disclosed in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K and as described below.
As previously disclosed, on July 12, 2006, we filed suit in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Sybase 365 (formerly known as Mobile 365) and WiderThan Americas for patent infringement related to U.S. patent No. 6,985,748, Inter-Carrier Short Messaging Service Providing Phone Number Only Experience. We resolved the matter with regard to WiderThan Americas, and during the second quarter we received a favorable jury decision that Sybase 365 infringed the claims of our patent. The jury awarded us a one-time monetary payment of $12.1 million for past damages which represents a 12% royalty. The jury also found Sybase 365’s infringement willful and upheld the validity of the patent. The jury’s findings are subject to post trial motions, which we expect to be decided later this year. After the judge rules on the post trial motions, either side may appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. No revenue has been recorded pending the outcome of appeals and possible settlements.
There have not been any material changes to the information previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K.
