UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Preparation of Interim Financial Statements
(1)Preparation of Interim Financial Statements– The condensed consolidated financial statements of USA Mobility, Inc. and subsidiaries (“USA Mobility” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Amounts shown on the condensed consolidated results of operations within the operating expense categories of cost of products sold; service, rental and maintenance; selling and marketing; and general and administrative are recorded exclusive of severance and restructuring and depreciation, amortization and accretion. These items are shown separately on the condensed consolidated results of operations within operating expenses. Foreign currency translation adjustments were deemed immaterial and were not presented separately in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The financial information included herein, other than the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, has been prepared without audit. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. In our management’s opinion, our unaudited statements include all adjustments and accruals that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. Certain prior year’s amounts in our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Amcom Software, Inc. (“Amcom” or “software operations”), have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in USA Mobility’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Report”). The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
(2) Business
(2) Business – USA Mobility, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, USA Mobility Wireless, Inc. (“wireless operations”) is a leading provider of wireless messaging, mobile voice and data and unified communications solutions in the United States. We provide one-way and two-way messaging services. One-way messaging consists of numeric and alphanumeric messaging services. Numeric messaging services enable subscribers to receive messages that are composed entirely of numbers, such as a phone number, while alphanumeric messages may include numbers and letters which enable subscribers to receive text messages. Two-way messaging services enable subscribers to send and receive messages to and from other wireless messaging devices, including pagers, personal digital assistants and personal computers. We also offer voice mail, personalized greeting, message storage and retrieval and equipment loss and/or maintenance protection to both one-way and two-way messaging subscribers. These services are commonly referred to as wireless messaging and information services.
In addition, the Company, through Amcom, provides mission critical unified communications solutions for contact centers, emergency management, mobile event notification and Smartphone messaging. The combined product offering is capable of addressing a customer’s mission critical communication needs. Amcom delivers software solutions, which enable seamless, critical communications. Amcom’s unified communications suite (includes solutions for contact centers, emergency management, mobile event notification, and messaging) connects people across a changing complement of communication devices.

(3) Risks and Other Important Factors
(3)Risks and Other Important Factors – See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and the 2011 Annual Report, which describes key risks associated with our operations and industry.
Based on current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe that our net cash provided by operating activities, together with cash on hand, should be adequate to meet our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
In the event that net cash provided by operating activities and cash on hand are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, we may be required to reduce planned capital expenses, reduce or eliminate our cash dividends to stockholders, reduce or eliminate our common stock repurchase program, and/or sell assets or seek additional financing beyond the availability in our revolving credit facility. We can provide no assurance that reductions in planned capital expenses or proceeds from asset sales would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that additional financing beyond the availability in our revolving credit facility would be available or, if available, offered on acceptable terms.
We believe that future fluctuations in our revenues and operating results may occur due to many factors, particularly the decreased demand for our messaging services. If the rate of decline for our messaging services exceeds our expectations, revenues may be negatively impacted, and such impact could be material. Our plan to consolidate our networks may also negatively impact revenues as customers may experience a reduction in, and possible disruptions of, service in certain areas. Under these circumstances, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any future revenue shortfall. It is possible that, due to these fluctuations, our revenue or operating results may not meet the expectations of investors, which could reduce the value of our common stock and impact our ability to make future cash distributions to stockholders or repurchase shares of our common stock.
(4) Recent and New Accounting Pronouncements
(4) Recent and New Accounting Pronouncements – In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-12,Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update Number 2011-05, which addresses the presentation of comprehensive income. This standard was deemed not applicable to us as foreign currency translation adjustments were deemed immaterial and were not presented separately in our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity in our 2011 Annual Report.
Pronouncements issued or effective during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were not applicable to us and are not anticipated to have an effect on our financial position or results of operations.

(8) Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets
(8)Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets – Goodwill at June 30, 2012 was $132.6 million which is all attributed to our software operations. During the second quarter of 2012, we increased goodwill by $1.6 million due to the
7
acquisition of certain assets and technology from IMCO Technologies Corporation (“IMCO”). Goodwill is not amortized but evaluated for impairment at least annually, or when events or circumstances suggest a potential impairment has occurred. We have selected the fourth quarter to perform this annual impairment test. We will evaluate goodwill for impairment between annual tests if indicators of impairment exist. GAAP requires the comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount to determine if there is potential impairment. For this determination, our software segment is considered the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is required to be recorded to the extent that the implied value of goodwill within the reporting unit is less than the carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined based upon generally accepted valuation methodologies such as market capitalization, discounted cash flows or other methods as deemed appropriate.
Other intangible assets for wireless operations consisted of a non-compete agreement with a former executive which is being amortized over a three year period. Other intangible assets for software operations were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are being amortized over periods ranging from two to fifteen years. During the second quarter of 2012, our software operations acquired amortizable intangible assets of $1.5 million from IMCO. These intangible assets are being amortized over a four year period.
We will continue to identify potential adjustments to the purchase price and the fair value of the assets acquired from IMCO. We anticipate finalizing the purchase price as soon as practicable but no later than one-year from the acquisition date or May 2, 2013.
The gross carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets for the wireless operations was $0.4 million, and $45.1 million for software operations at June 30, 2012. The accumulated amortization for wireless operations was $0.3 million and $8.1 million for software operations. The net consolidated balance of amortizable intangible assets consisted of the following:

Accrued taxes are based on our estimate of outstanding state and local taxes. This balance may be adjusted in the future as we settle with various taxing jurisdictions. Accrued taxes at June 30, 2012 include state income tax liabilities which were reclassified from other long-term liabilities to accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the first quarter of 2012 based on our assessment of the timing of payment of the liabilities. The restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awarded under the 2009 LTIP are expected to vest in December 2012. Therefore, the line item dividends payable – 2009 LTIP was reclassified from other long-term liabilities to accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the second quarter of 2012 based on the expected vesting in December 2012.
(11) Asset Retirement Obligations
(11)Asset Retirement Obligations– We recognize liabilities and corresponding assets for future obligations associated with the retirement of assets. We have paging equipment assets, principally transmitters, which are located on leased locations. The underlying leases generally require the removal of equipment at the end of the lease term; therefore, a future obligation exists.
At December 31, 2011, we had recognized cumulative asset retirement costs of $1.9 million. During the first quarter of 2012, we recorded an increase of $0.1 million in asset retirement costs. During the second quarter of 2012, we recorded an increase of $0.1 million in asset retirement costs. At June 30, 2012, cumulative asset
10
retirement costs were $2.1 million. The asset retirement cost additions during the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased paging equipment assets and are being depreciated over the related estimated lives of 54 to 57 months. The asset retirement costs and the corresponding liabilities that have been recorded to date generally relate to either current plans to consolidate networks or to the removal of assets at an estimated future terminal date.

The balances above were included with accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2012.
(12) Deferred Revenue
(12)Deferred Revenue– Deferred revenue on a consolidated basis at June 30, 2012 was $14.6 million for the current portion and $0.5 million for the non-current portion. Deferred revenue at June 30, 2012 consisted primarily of unearned maintenance revenue and customer deposits for installation services. Unearned maintenance revenue represented a contractual liability to provide maintenance support over a defined period of time for which payment has generally been received. Customer deposits for installation represented a contractual liability to provide installation services for which payments have been received. At June 30, 2012, we had received $1.9 million in customer deposits for future installation services. We will recognize revenue when the service or software is provided or otherwise meets our revenue recognition criteria.

(13) Long-Term Debt
(13)Long-Term Debt– On November 8, 2011, we executed the First Amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). The Amended Credit Agreement increased the amount of the revolving credit facility to $40.0 million. The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is September 3, 2015. We may make a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate election for any amount of our debt for a period of 1, 2 or 3 months at a time; however, we may not have more than 5 individual LIBOR rate loans in effect at any given time. We may only exercise the LIBOR rate election for an amount of at least $1.0 million.
The debt is secured by a lien on substantially all of our existing assets, interests in assets and proceeds owned or acquired by us.
11
On April 6, 2012, we repaid the $3.3 million that was outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2012, the Amended Credit Agreement remains in effect with $40.0 million of available borrowing capacity subject to maintaining a minimum liquidity threshold of $25.0 million. The $25.0 million liquidity threshold can be satisfied by maintaining cash on hand or borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement.
We are exposed to changes in interest rates should we have borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement. The floating interest rate debt exposes us to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate exposure resulting from changes in LIBOR. As of June 30, 2012, we have no debt outstanding or derivative financial instruments outstanding to manage our interest rate risk.
We are subject to certain financial covenants on a quarterly basis under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. These financial covenants consist of a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all of the required financial covenants as of June 30, 2012.
We have also established control agreements with the financial institutions that maintain our cash and investment accounts. These agreements permit Wells Fargo to exercise control over our cash and investment accounts should we default under provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement. We are not in default under the Amended Credit Agreement and do not anticipate that Wells Fargo would need to exercise its rights under these control agreements during the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.

(14) Other Long-Term Liabilities
(14)Other Long-Term Liabilities– Other long-term liabilities consisted of the following for the periods stated:

Cash award – 2009 LTIP was reclassified to accrued compensation and benefits from other long-term liabilities in the second quarter of 2012 since the award is expected to vest in December 2012. The RSUs awarded under the 2009 LTIP are also expected to vest in December 2012. Therefore, the related dividends payable was also reclassified in the second quarter of 2012 to accounts payable and accrued liabilities from other long-term liabilities based on the expected vesting in December 2012. State income tax was reclassified to accounts payable and accrued liabilities from other long-term liabilities in the first quarter of 2012 based on our assessment of the timing of payment of the liabilities.

At June 30, 2012, we had no stock options outstanding.
We established the USA Mobility, Inc. Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2004 Equity Plan”) in connection with and prior to the November 2004 merger of Arch Wireless, Inc. (“Arch”) and Metrocall Holdings, Inc. (“Metrocall”) and subsidiaries. Under the 2004 Equity Plan, we had the ability to issue up to 1,878,976 shares of our common stock to eligible employees and non-executive members of the Board of Directors in the form of shares of common stock, stock options, shares of restricted common stock (“restricted stock”), RSUs or stock grants. Restricted stock awarded under the 2004 Equity Plan entitled the stockholder to all rights of common stock ownership except that the restricted stock may not be sold, transferred, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of during the restriction period, which will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. RSUs are generally convertible into shares of common stock pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement when the appropriate vesting conditions have been satisfied.

2009 LTIP. On January 6, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a long-term incentive program that included a cash component and a stock component in the form of RSUs based upon achievement of expense reduction and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion goals during our 2012 calendar year and continued employment with the Company. RSUs were granted under the 2004 Equity Plan pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement based upon the closing price per share of our common stock on January 15, 2009 of $12.01. Our Board of Directors awarded 329,416 RSUs to certain eligible employees and also approved that future cash dividends related to the existing RSUs will be set aside and paid in cash to each eligible employee when the RSUs are converted into shares of common stock. Existing RSUs would be converted into shares of common stock on the earlier of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2004 Equity Plan) or on or after the third business day following the day that we file our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2012 Annual Report”) with the SEC but in no event later than December 31, 2013.
Any unvested RSUs granted under the 2004 Equity Plan and the related cash dividends are forfeited if the participant terminates employment with USA Mobility. As of December 31, 2011 a total of 80,104 RSUs have been forfeited offset by new grants of 9,418 RSUs resulting in an outstanding balance of 258,730 RSUs as of June 30, 2012. There were no forfeitures or additional grants in the first quarter and second quarter of 2012.
We used the fair-value based method of accounting for the 2009 LTIP and are amortizing $3.1 million to expense over the 48-month vesting period. A total of $0.2 million was included in stock based compensation expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and a total of $0.4 million was included in stock based compensation expense for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in relation to the 2009 LTIP.
Also on January 6, 2009, we provided for long-term cash performance awards to the same certain eligible employees under the 2009 LTIP. Similar to the RSUs, the vesting period for these long-term cash performance awards is 48 months upon attainment of the established performance goals and would be paid on the earlier of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2004 Equity Plan); or on or after the third business day following the day that we file our 2012 Annual Report with the SEC but in no event later than December 31, 2013.
We are ratably recognizing $3.0 million to expense over the 48-month vesting period. A total of $0.2 million was included in payroll and related expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and a total of $0.4 million was included in payroll and related expense for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for these long-term cash performance awards. Any unvested long-term cash performance awards are forfeited if the participant terminates employment with USA Mobility.
2011 LTIP. On March 15, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a long-term incentive program that included a stock component in the form of RSUs. The 2011 LTIP provides eligible employees the opportunity to earn RSUs based upon achievement of performance goals, established by our Board of Directors for our revenue and operating cash flows (including software operations) during the period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2014
16
(the “performance period”), and continued employment with the Company. For the purpose of the 2011 LTIP as it relates to software operations, the performance period is considered as April 1, 2011 through December 31, 2014. On April 7, 2011, our Board of Directors granted eligible employees from Amcom RSUs under the 2004 Equity Plan pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement based upon the closing price per share of our common stock on April 6, 2011 of $15.41. Our Board of Directors awarded 211,587 RSUs to certain eligible employees at Amcom and also approved that future cash dividends related to the existing RSUs will be set aside and paid in cash to each eligible employee when the RSUs are converted into shares of common stock. Existing RSUs would be converted into shares of common stock on the earlier of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2004 Equity Plan for RSUs granted before May 16, 2012 or the 2012 Equity Plan for future grants on or after May 16, 2012) or on or after the third business day following the day that we file our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2014 Annual Report”) with the SEC but in no event later than December 31, 2015.
Any unvested RSUs granted and the related cash dividends are forfeited if the participant terminates employment with USA Mobility. During the second quarter of 2012, 101,294 RSUs and the related cash dividends were forfeited by two former executives resulting in an outstanding balance of 110,293 RSUs as of June 30, 2012. On July 1, 2012, our Board of Directors awarded an additional grant of 36,795 RSUs to certain eligible employees based on the closing price per share of our common stock on June 29, 2012 of $12.86 and also approved that future cash dividends relating to the existing RSUs will be set aside and paid in cash to each eligible employee when the RSUs are converted into shares of common stock. This resulted in an outstanding balance of 147,088 RSUs under the 2011 LTIP as of July 31, 2012.
We used the fair-value based method of accounting for the 2011 LTIP and are amortizing $1.5 million (after the effect of estimated forfeitures) to expense over the 45-month vesting period beginning on April 1, 2011 for the April 1, 2011 grant of RSUs and $0.4 million (after the effect of estimated forfeitures) to expense over the 30-month vesting period beginning on July 1, 2012 for the additional grant of RSUs awarded on July 1, 2012. A total of $0.2 million was included in stock based compensation expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and a total of $0.4 million and $0.2 million was included in stock based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in relation to the 2011 LTIP. Stock based compensation expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 included a net one-time benefit of $0.4 million for forfeitures under the 2011 LTIP associated with the departure of two former executives in our software operations.
Board of Directors Equity Compensation. On August 1, 2007, for periods of service beginning on July 1, 2007, our Board of Directors approved that, in lieu of RSUs, each non-executive director will be granted in arrears on the first business day following the quarter of service, restricted stock under the 2004 Equity Plan or the 2012 Equity Plan for their service on the Board of Directors and committees thereof. The restricted stock will be granted quarterly based upon the closing price per share of our common stock at the end of each quarter, such that each non-executive director will receive $40,000 per year of restricted stock ($50,000 for the Chair of the Audit Committee). The restricted stock will vest on the earlier of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2004 Equity Plan for restricted stock granted before May 16, 2012 or the 2012 Equity Plan for future grants on or after May 16, 2012) or one year from the date of grant, provided, in each case, that the non-executive director maintains continuous service on the Board of Directors. Future cash dividends related to the restricted stock will be set aside and paid in cash to each non-executive director on the date the restricted stock vests. In addition to the quarterly restricted stock grants, the non-executive directors will be entitled to cash compensation of $40,000 per year ($50,000 for the Chair of the Audit Committee), also payable quarterly. These sums are payable, at the election of the non-executive director, in the form of cash, shares of common stock, or any combination thereof.

(1) | The quarterly restricted stock awarded is based on the price per share of our common stock on the last trading day prior to the quarterly award date. |
(2) | Amount excludes interest earned and paid upon vesting of shares of restricted stock. |
The shares of restricted stock will vest one year from the date of grant and the related cash dividends on the vested restricted stock will be paid to our non-executive directors at vesting. Grants of shares of restricted stock made after May 16, 2012 will reduce the number of shares eligible for future issuance under the 2012 Equity Plan.
We used the fair-value based method of accounting for the equity awards. A total of $52,500 was included in stock based compensation expense for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and a total of $0.1 million was included in stock based compensation expense for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, in relation to the restricted stock issued to our non-executive directors.

Cash dividends on RSUs and restricted stock have been accrued and are paid when the applicable vesting conditions are met. Accrued cash dividends on forfeited RSUs and restricted stock are also forfeited.

(1) | The total payment reflects the cash dividends paid in relation to common stock and vested restricted stock. |
Future Cash Dividends to Stockholders. On July 30, 2012, our Board of Directors reset the quarterly dividend distribution rate to $0.125 per share of common stock from $0.25 per share of common stock and declared a regular quarterly dividend distribution of $0.125 per share of common stock, with a record date of August 17, 2012, and a payment date of September 7, 2012. This dividend distribution of approximately $2.8 million will be paid from available cash on hand.
Common Stock Repurchase Program.On July 31, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock in the open market during the twelve-month period commencing on or about August 5, 2008. As discussed below, this program has been extended. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC will administer such purchases. We used available cash on hand and net cash provided by operating activities to fund the common stock repurchase program.
Repurchased shares of our common stock are accounted for as a reduction to common stock and additional paid-in-capital in the period in which the repurchase occurs.
The Company’s stock repurchase program has been extended at various dates between 2009 through 2012 by our Board of Directors. On July 24, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a fifth supplement to the common stock repurchase program effective August 1, 2012 which reset the repurchase authority to $25.0 million as of August 1, 2012 and extended the purchase period through December 31, 2013. This repurchase authority allows, at
19
management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market depending upon market price and other factors. Without exceeding the $25.0 million repurchase authority during the purchase period (August 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013), the maximum repurchase authority for the period August 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 is $13.5 million and the maximum repurchase authority for the calendar year 2013 is $19.1 million.
Through June 30, 2012 a total of 5,556,331 shares of our common stock has been repurchased under this program for approximately $51.7 million (excluding commissions).
Additional Paid-in Capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, additional paid-in capital increased by $0.9 million. The increase in 2012 was due primarily to amortization of stock based compensation and a net issuance of common stock under the 2011 STIP to our CEO after purchase of common stock from the CEO for his tax withholdings.
Net Income per Common Share.Basic net income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares including outstanding restricted stock using the “treasury stock” method plus the effect of outstanding RSUs, which are treated as contingently issuable shares. During the first quarter of 2012, we acquired a total of 21,657 shares of our common stock from our CEO in payment of required tax withholdings for the common stock awarded to him on March 2, 2012 related to the 2011 STIP. These shares of common stock acquired were retired and excluded from our reported outstanding share balance as of June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, no shares of common stock were repurchased under our common stock repurchase program. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the effect of 246 potential dilutive common shares was not included in the calculation for diluted net income per share as the impact was anti-dilutive. The components of basic and diluted net income per common share were as follows for the periods stated:

(16) Stock Based Compensation
(16)Stock Based Compensation– Compensation expense associated with RSUs and restricted stock is recognized based on the fair value of the instruments, over the instruments’ vesting period. Stock based compensation expense for wireless operations was $0.3 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $0.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Stock based compensation expense for software operations was a net benefit of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and a net expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and a net benefit of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and a net expense of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Stock based compensation expense for software operations for the three
20
months and six months ended June 30, 2012 included a benefit of $0.4 million for forfeitures under the 2011 LTIP associated with the departure of two former executives. The following table reflects the results of operations line items for stock based compensation expense for the periods stated:

(17) Research and Product Development
(17)Research and Product Development– Research and product development costs are expensed as incurred and are reflected in service, rental and maintenance expenses. Costs eligible for capitalization were not material to the consolidated financial statements.
(18) Advertising Costs
(18)Advertising Costs– Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred because they occur in the same period as the benefit is derived. These costs are included in selling and marketing. We do not incur any direct response advertising costs. Advertising expenses were $13,000 and $7,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $18,100 and $12,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for wireless operations. Advertising expenses were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for software operations.
(19) Income Taxes
(19)Income Taxes– We file our income tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our Federal income tax returns have been examined by the IRS through the year ended December 31, 2008. Amcom’s separate Federal income tax returns have been audited through the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 (2009 return). Amcom’s final separate company Federal income tax return was filed for the stub period ended on March 2, 2011 (2010 return) on August 15, 2011.
We are required to evaluate the recoverability of our deferred income tax assets. The assessment is required to determine whether based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than a 50% probability) whether all or some portion of the deferred income tax assets will be realized in the future. At June 30, 2012, we had total deferred income tax assets of $165.3 million and a valuation allowance of $115.8 million resulting in an estimated recoverable amount of deferred income tax assets of $49.5 million. This reflected a change from the December 31, 2011 balance of deferred income tax assets of $175.9 million and a valuation allowance of $115.7 million resulting in an estimated recoverable amount of $60.2 million. The change reflected the expected usage of the deferred income tax assets based on the estimates of 2012 taxable income.
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the balance of the valuation allowance was $115.8 million and $115.7 million, respectively. Included in the valuation allowance were $0.6 million and $0.7 million for foreign operations at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The anticipated effective income tax rate is expected to continue to differ from the Federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of changes to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, the effect of state income taxes, foreign rate differential, permanent differences between book and taxable income, and certain discrete items.
As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately $421.6 million of Federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) available to offset future taxable income after considering estimated NOLs of $63.6 million to be utilized in preparing the 2011 Federal income tax return, which must be filed by September 15, 2012. This amount is net of the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“IRC Section 382”) limitation. The IRC Section 382 limited NOLs as of January 1, 2012 totaled $61.0 million which may be used at a rate of $6.1 million per year.

(20) Related Party Transactions
(20) Related Party Transactions – A member of our Board of Directors also served as a director for an entity that leases transmission tower sites to our Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid that entity $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid that entity $2.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in site rent expenses for wireless operations that were included in service, rental and maintenance expenses.
(21) Commitments and Contingencies
(21) Commitments and Contingencies – In May 2012, we contracted for a managed service-hosting provider for certain computer support services over a three-year contract term for $0.5 million.
We are involved, from time to time, in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. We believe these pending lawsuits will not have a material adverse impact on our financial results or operations.
The following amends and restates the description of previously reported legal contingencies in the 2011 Annual Report for which there has been a material development during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Filed Litigation.On June 25, 2012, Mr. and Mrs. Andre C. Franco (collectively the “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland against Metrocall, Inc. (now USA Mobility Wireless, Inc. “Wireless”), and an employee of Wireless (collectively “the Defendants”). The lawsuit arose from a vehicle accident involving the employee in December 2009. The Plaintiffs seek damages of $21.0 million jointly and severally from the Defendants.
We are fully insured for these damages and our defense against this claim has been assumed by the insurance carrier who has designated legal counsel to handle this lawsuit on our behalf. We do not expect the monetary settlement of this lawsuit, if any, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
(22) Segment Reporting
(22)Segment Reporting– With the acquisition of Amcom on March 3, 2011, we currently have two reportable operating segments: a Wireless segment and a Software segment. These segments are operated and managed as strategic business units and are organized by products and services. We measure and evaluate our segments based on segment operating income, consistent with the chief operating decision maker’s assessment of segment performance.
Our segments and their principal activities consist of the following:
Wireless | Provides local, regional and nationwide one-way paging and advanced two-way messaging services and mobile voice and data services through third party providers. | |||
Software | Provides mission critical unified communications solutions for contact centers, emergency management, mobile event notification and messaging. |
We use a non-GAAP financial measure as a key element in determining performance for purposes of incentive compensation under our annual STIP. That non-GAAP financial measure is operating cash flow (“OCF”) defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (“EBITDA”) less purchases of property and equipment. (EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortization and accretion, each determined in accordance with GAAP). Purchases of property and equipment are also determined in accordance with GAAP.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements and information relating to USA Mobility, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“USA Mobility” or the “Company”) that set forth anticipated results based on management’s current plans, known trends and assumptions. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “target”, “forecast” and similar expressions, as they relate to USA Mobility are forward-looking statements.
Although these statements are based upon current plans, known trends and assumptions that management considers reasonable, they are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those discussed below and under the captions “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”),” and “Part I – Item 1A –Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2012 (the “2011 Annual Report”). Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, known trends change, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results or outcomes may differ materially from past results and those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements. Investors are advised to consult all further disclosures the Company makes in its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K that it will file with the SEC. Also note that, in the risk factors, the Company provides a cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to its business. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from past results as well as those results that may be forecasted, anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risk factors. Consequently, investors should not consider the risk factor discussion to be a complete discussion of all of the potential risks or uncertainties that could affect USA Mobility’s business, results of operations or financial condition, subsequent to the filing of this Quarterly Report.
Overview
The following MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of USA Mobility. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our 2011 Annual Report and our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
USA Mobility, a holding company, which, acting through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, USA Mobility Wireless, Inc. (“wireless operations”), is a leading provider of wireless messaging, mobile voice and data and unified communications solutions in the United States. In addition, through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Amcom Software, Inc. (“Amcom” or “software operations”), we provide mission critical unified communications solutions for contact centers, emergency management, mobile event notification, and Smartphone messaging. Our combined product offerings are capable of addressing a customer’s mission critical communications needs. We offer our services and products in the United States and abroad primarily to three major market segments: healthcare, government and large enterprise.
We generate revenue by providing paging services, developing, licensing, and supporting a wide range of software products and services. Our most significant expenses are related to compensating employees, site rents, telecommunications and income taxes.
24
Wireless Operations
Our wireless operations provide one-way and advanced two-way wireless messaging services including information services throughout the United States. We also offer voice mail, personalized greeting, message storage and retrieval, and equipment loss and/or maintenance protection to both one-way and two-way messaging subscribers. We market and distribute these wireless messaging and information services through a direct sales force and a small indirect sales channel.
Direct.The direct sales force rents or sells products and messaging services directly to customers ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to companies in the Fortune 1000, healthcare and related businesses, and Federal, state and local government agencies. We intend to continue to market to commercial enterprises utilizing our direct sales force as these commercial enterprises have typically disconnected service at a lower rate than individual consumers. Our sales personnel maintain a sales presence throughout the United States. In addition, we maintain several corporate sales groups focused on medical sales, Federal government accounts, large enterprises, advanced wireless services, emergency/mass notification services, and other product offerings.
Indirect.Within the indirect channel, we contract with and invoice an intermediary for airtime services (which includes telemetry services). The intermediary or “reseller” in turn markets, sells, and provides customer service to the end user. Generally, there is no contractual relationship that exists between us and the end subscriber. Therefore, operating costs per unit to provide these services are lower than those required in the direct distribution channel. Indirect units in service typically have lower average revenue per unit (“ARPU”) than direct units in service. The rate at which subscribers disconnect service in the indirect distribution channel has generally been higher than the rate experienced with direct customers, and we expect this trend to continue in the foreseeable future.
The following table summarizes the breakdown of our direct and indirect units in service at specified dates:

Customers may subscribe to one-way or two-way messaging services for a periodic (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) service fee which is generally based upon the type of service provided, the geographic area covered, the number of devices provided to the customer and the period of commitment. Voice mail, personalized greeting, and equipment loss and/or maintenance protection may be added to either one-way or two-way messaging services, as applicable, for an additional monthly fee. Equipment loss protection allows subscribers who lease devices to limit their cost of replacement upon loss or destruction of a messaging device. Maintenance services are offered to subscribers who own their device.
25
A subscriber to one-way messaging services may select coverage on a local, regional or nationwide basis to best meet their messaging needs. Local coverage generally allows the subscriber to receive messages within a small geographic area, such as a city. Regional coverage allows a subscriber to receive messages in a larger area, which may include a large portion of a state or sometimes groups of states. Nationwide coverage allows a subscriber to receive messages in major markets throughout the United States. The monthly fee generally increases with the size of the coverage area. Two-way messaging is generally offered on a nationwide basis.
The following table summarizes the breakdown of our one-way and two-way units in service at specified dates:

The demand for one-way and two-way messaging services declined at each specified date and we believe demand will continue to decline for the foreseeable future. Demand for our services has also been impacted by the weak United States economy and high unemployment rates nationwide. To the extent that unemployment rates may remain high or increase for the remainder of 2012, we anticipate an unfavorable impact on the level of subscriber cancellations.
We provide wireless messaging services to subscribers for a periodic fee, as described above. In addition, subscribers either lease a messaging device from us for an additional fixed monthly fee or they own a device, having purchased it either from us or from another vendor. We also sell devices to resellers who lease or resell devices to their subscribers and then sell messaging services utilizing our networks.
We derive the majority of our revenues from fixed monthly or other periodic fees, charged to subscribers for wireless messaging services. Such fees are not generally dependent on usage. As long as a subscriber maintains service, operating results benefit from recurring payment of these fees. Revenues are generally based upon the number of units in service and the monthly charge per unit. The number of units in service changes based on subscribers added, referred to as gross placements, less subscriber cancellations, or disconnects. The net of gross placements and disconnects is commonly referred to as net gains or losses of units in service or net disconnect rate. The absolute number of gross placements as well as the number of gross placements relative to average units in service in a period, referred to as the gross placement rate, is monitored on a monthly basis. Disconnects are also monitored on a monthly basis. The ratio of units disconnected in a period to average units in service for the same period, called the disconnect rate, is an indicator of our success at retaining subscribers, which is important in order to maintain recurring revenues and to control operating expenses.
The following table sets forth our gross placements and disconnects for the periods stated:

The other factor that contributes to revenue, in addition to the number of units in service, is the monthly charge per unit. As previously discussed, the monthly charge per unit is dependent on the subscriber’s service, extent of geographic coverage, whether the subscriber leases or owns the messaging device and the number of units the customer has in the account. The ratio of revenues for a period to the average units in service for the same period, commonly referred to as ARPU, is a key revenue measurement as it indicates whether charges for similar services and distribution channels are increasing or decreasing. ARPU by distribution channel and messaging service are monitored regularly.
The following table sets forth ARPU by distribution channel for the periods stated:
ARPU For the Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||
Distribution Channel | June 30, 2012 | March 31, 2012 | June 30, 2011 | |||||||||

Indirect | 5.97 | 6.14 | 6.40 | |||||||||
Consolidated | 8.45 | 8.50 | 8.74 |
While ARPU for similar services and distribution channels is indicative of changes in monthly charges and the revenue rate applicable to new subscribers, this measurement on a consolidated basis is affected by several factors, including the mix of units in service and the pricing of the various components of our services. We expect future sequential annual revenues to decline in line with recent trends. The change in ARPU in the direct distribution channel is the most significant indicator of rate-related changes in our revenues. The decrease in consolidated ARPU for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 from the previous quarters was due to the change in composition of our customer base as the percentage of units in service attributable to larger customers continues to increase. These larger customers benefit from lower pricing associated with their larger number of units-in-service. We believe that without further price adjustments, ARPU would trend lower for both the direct and indirect distribution channels in 2012 and that price increases could mitigate, but not completely offset, the expected declines in both ARPU and revenues.

Software Operations
Our primary business in the software operations is the sale of software, professional services (consulting and training), equipment sales (to be used in conjunction with the software) and post-contract support (on-going maintenance). The software is licensed to end users under an industry standard software license agreement. Our software products are considered to be “off-the-shelf software” with the software marketed as a stock item that customers can use with little or no customization. Such sales generate license fees (or revenues). In addition to the license fees, we generate revenue through the delivery of implementation services and training, annual maintenance revenues and the sale of third party equipment for use with the software.
Specifically, we develop, sell, and support enterprise-wide systems for hospitals and other organizations needing to automate, centralize, and standardize mission critical communications. These solutions are used for contact centers, emergency management, mobile event notification and messaging. We are focused on marketing these solutions primarily to the healthcare sector and to a lesser extent the government and large enterprise sectors. These areas of market focus compliment the market focus of our wireless operations outlined above. We have a sales presence and customer base both domestically and internationally, specifically in Europe, Australia and Asia.
Our software operations are organized as follows to support this business:
Marketing. We have a centralized marketing function which is focused on supporting our software products and vertical sales efforts by strengthening our Amcom brand, generating sales leads, and facilitating the sales process. These marketing functions are accomplished through targeted email campaigns, webinars, regional and national user conferences, monthly newsletters, and participation at industry trade shows.
Sales. We sell our software products through a direct and channel sales force. The direct sales effort is geographically focused with the exception of dedicated government and certain large enterprise sales specialists. The direct sales force targets unified communication executives such as chief information officers, information technology directors, telecommunications directors and contact center managers. The timing for a direct sale from initial contact to final sale ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on the type of software solution. The average size for a new sale is approximately $135,000, with the sale of additional modules or software upgrades estimated at $80,000.
The direct sales force is complemented by a channel sales force consisting of a dedicated team of managers. These managers coordinate relationships with telecommunication focused alliance partners who provide sales introductions for our direct sales force.
Professional Services. We offer implementation services for our software products. These implementation services are provided by a dedicated group of professional service employees. Our professional services staff uses a branded, consistent methodology that provides a comprehensive phased work plan for both new software installations and/or upgrades. In support of our implementation methodology, we manage the various aspects of the process through a professional services automation tool. A typical implementation process ranges from 60 to 90 days depending on the type of implementation.
28
Customer Support. To support our software products, we have established a dedicated customer support organization. Due to the mission critical nature of our software products, we provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year customer support that customers can access via telephone, email or the Internet.
Product Development. We maintain a product development group focused on developing new software products and enhancing existing products. Our product development group, supported by a limited group of external developers, uses a methodology that balances enhancement requests from a number of sources including customers, the professional services staff, customer support incidents, known defects, market and technology trends, and competitive requirements. These requests are reviewed and prioritized based on criteria that include the potential for increased revenues, customer/employee satisfaction, possible cost savings and development time and expense.
We recognize operations revenue when the application is installed and operational at the customer location. It consists of software license revenue, professional services revenue and equipment sales. Maintenance revenue is for ongoing support of a software application and is recognized ratably over the period of coverage, typically one year. The maintenance renewal rates for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 98.8% and 99.9%, respectively. Revenue from software operations is included in product and related sales, net in the condensed consolidated results of operations and reflects results from March 3, 2011, the acquisition date. The detailed breakout of revenues by component from software operations was as follows for the periods stated below. Revenue from software operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 included a reduction of $2.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, required by acquisition accounting to reflect fair value.

Operations - Consolidated
Our operating expenses are presented in functional categories. Certain of our functional categories are especially important to overall expense control and management; these operating expenses are categorized as follows:
• | Cost of product sold. These are expenses associated with costs for pagers for the wireless operations and hardware, third-party software, professional services, payroll and related expenses, and various other expenses associated with the software operations. |
• | Service, rental, and maintenance. These are expenses associated with the operation of our networks and the provision of messaging services. Expenses consist largely of site rent expenses for transmitter locations, telecommunication expenses to deliver messages over our networks, and payroll and related expenses for our engineering and pager repair functions. Expenses related to the development and maintenance of our software products are included in this category. |
• | Selling and marketing. These are expenses associated with our direct sales force and indirect sales channel and marketing expenses in support of those sales groups. This classification consists primarily of payroll and related expenses and commission expenses. These expenses also include expenses associated with selling and marketing our software products. |
• | General and administrative. These are expenses associated with customer service, inventory management, billing, collections, bad debt, and other administrative functions. This classification consists primarily of payroll and related expenses, facility rent expenses, tax, license and permit expenses, and outside service expenses. |
We review the percentages of these operating expenses to revenues on a regular basis. Even though the operating expenses are classified as described above, expense control and management are also performed by expense category. Approximately 70% of the operating expenses referred to above were incurred in payroll and related expenses, site and facility rent expenses and telecommunication expenses for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
30
Payroll and related expenses include wages, incentives, employee benefits and related taxes. On a monthly basis, we review the number of employees in major functional categories such as direct sales, engineering and technical staff, customer service, collections and inventory. We also review the design and physical locations of functional groups to continuously improve efficiency, to simplify organizational structures, and to minimize the number of physical locations for the wireless operations. We have reduced our wireless employee base by approximately 13.5% to 411 full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) at June 30, 2012 from 475 FTEs at June 30, 2011. We anticipate continued staffing reductions in 2012 for wireless operations, consistent with the subscriber and revenue trends, and we have accrued post-employment benefits for these anticipated staffing reductions. We expect staffing increases associated with our software operations to support our software revenue growth. The software operations had 275 FTEs at June 30, 2012, an increase of 10.9% from 248 FTEs at June 30, 2011.
Site rent expenses for transmitter locations are largely dependent on our paging networks. We operate local, regional, and nationwide one-way and two-way paging networks. These networks each require locations on which to place transmitters, receivers, and antennae. Generally, site rent expenses are incurred for each transmitter location. Therefore, site rent expenses for transmitter locations are highly dependent on the number of transmitters, which in turn is dependent on the number of networks. In addition, these expenses generally do not vary directly with the number of subscribers or units in service, which is detrimental to our operating margins as revenues decline. In order to reduce these expenses, we have an active program to consolidate the number of networks, and thus transmitter locations, which we refer to as network rationalization. We have reduced the number of active transmitters by 8.7% to 4,795 active transmitters at June 30, 2012 from 5,253 active transmitters at June 30, 2011.
Telecommunication expenses are incurred to interconnect our paging networks and to provide telephone numbers for customer use, points of contact for customer service, and connectivity among our offices. These expenses for wireless operations are dependent on the number of units in service and the number of office and network locations that we maintain. The dependence on units in service is related to the number of telephone numbers provided to customers and the number of telephone calls made to our call centers, though this is not always a direct dependency. For example, the number or duration of telephone calls to call centers may vary from period to period based on factors other than the number of units in service, which could cause telecommunication expenses to vary regardless of the number of units in service. In addition, certain phone numbers we provide to our customers may have a usage component based on the number and duration of calls to the subscriber’s messaging device. Telecommunication expenses do not necessarily vary in direct relationship to units in service. Therefore, based on the factors discussed above, efforts are underway to review and reduce telephone circuit inventories for wireless operations. Telecommunication expenses are also incurred for our offices and call centers for software operations.

As previously discussed, demand for messaging services has declined over the past several years and we anticipate that it will continue to decline for the foreseeable future, which will result in reductions in service, rental and maintenance revenues, net due to the lower number of subscribers and related units in service.
Revenues - Software
Product and related sales for software operations were $13.2 million and $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which reflect software license revenue, professional services revenue, equipment sales, and maintenance revenue. Operations revenue from software licenses, professional services, and equipment sales was $6.7 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Operations revenue decreased by $3.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to a significant sale that was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Maintenance revenue for software operations is recognized as earned over the maintenance contract period. Maintenance revenue was $6.5 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, maintenance revenue was reduced by $2.6 million to reflect the reduction to fair value as required by acquisition accounting.

As illustrated in the table above, cost of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $1.8 million from the same period in 2011 due to the following variances:
• | Payroll and related — The increase of $0.2 million in payroll and related expenses was due to installation costs associated with the software operations. Total FTEs who performed software installations as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 115 FTEs and 112 FTEs, respectively. |
• | Cost of sales —The decrease of $1.8 million in cost of sales was mainly due to lower cost basis of devices sold to or lost by wireless operations’ customers of $1.0 million and due to lower cost of sales of hardware and third-party software of $0.8 million for software operations. |
• | Other —The decrease of $0.2 million in other expenses was primarily due to lower miscellaneous expenses associated with installation services in the software operations. |

As illustrated in the table above, service, rental and maintenance expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $2.3 million or 14.2% from the same period in 2011 due to the following variances:
• | Site rent —The decrease of $1.5 million in site rent expenses was primarily due to the rationalization of our networks, which has decreased the number of transmitters required to provide service to our customers. The reduction in transmitters has, in turn, reduced the number of lease locations for the wireless operations. Active transmitters declined 8.7% in 2012 from the same period in 2011. |
• | Telecommunications —The decrease of $0.5 million in telecommunication expenses was due to the consolidation of our networks. We believe continued reductions in these expenses will occur as our networks continue to be consolidated as anticipated throughout 2012 for our wireless operations. |
35
• | Payroll and related —Payroll and related expenses for wireless operations were incurred largely for field technicians, their managers, and in-house repair personnel, and payroll and related expenses for software operations were incurred for product development and technical support personnel. The decrease in payroll and related expenses of $0.2 million was due primarily to the reduction of $0.5 million in payroll and related costs for wireless operations due to headcount reductions of 22 FTEs to 157 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 179 FTEs at June 30, 2011, partially offset by the increase of $0.3 million of payroll and related costs for software operations. Software operations FTEs increased by 8 FTEs to 64 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 56 FTEs at June 30, 2011. |
• | Stock based compensation — Stock based compensation expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2012 were consistent with the same period in 2011. Stock based compensation expenses represented amortization of compensation expense for the restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awarded to certain eligible employees under the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). |
• | Other —The decrease of $18,000 in other expenses was primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million in wireless operations mainly due to a reduction in repairs and maintenance expenses, offset by an increase in outside service expenses of $0.2 million for external product development support for software operations. |

As indicated in the table above, selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by $0.7 million, or 10.2%, from the same period in 2011. Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of payroll and related expenses, which decreased slightly for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to a reduction of $0.4 million in payroll and related costs for wireless operations due to headcount reductions of 25 FTEs to 88 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 113 FTEs at June 30, 2011, offset by an increase of payroll and related costs of $0.4 million for software operations. Software operations FTEs increased by 13 FTEs to 66 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 53 FTEs at June 30, 2011. The sales and
36
marketing staff are all involved in selling our paging and software products and services domestically and internationally, as well as reselling other wireless products and services such as cellular phones and e-mail devices under authorized agent agreements. These expenses support our efforts to maintain gross placements of units in service, which mitigated the impact of disconnects on our revenue base for wireless operations, and to identify business opportunities for additional or future software sales. We have a centralized marketing function which is focused on supporting our software products and vertical sales efforts by strengthening our brand, generating sales leads and facilitating the sales process. These marketing functions are accomplished through targeted email campaigns, webinars, regional and national user conferences, monthly newsletters and participation at industry trade shows. We sell our software products through a direct and channel sales force that consists of a dedicated team of managers. Due to the longer sales cycle for our software products we have increased the number of software sales and marketing staff with the intention of increasing our potential sales opportunities. We have reduced the overall cost of our selling and marketing activities on the wireless operations by focusing on the most productive sales and marketing employees.
Commission expenses decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due primarily to a reduction of commission expenses for wireless operations of $0.5 million in line with the revenue and subscriber erosion and a reduction in commission expenses for software operations of $0.1 million. Stock based compensation expenses increased slightly due to higher amortization of compensation expense for the RSUs awarded to certain eligible employees under the 2009 LTIP. The decrease of $43,000 in other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to a reduction in outside service expenses of $67,000 and rewards and recognition expenses of $65,000 in our wireless operations, partially offset by an increase in advertising expenses of $0.1 million in our software operations.

As illustrated in the table above, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $1.3 million, or 9.7%, from the same period in 2011 due primarily to lower payroll and related expenses, tax, license and permit expenses and stock based compensation expenses. Total general and administrative expenses decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to the following variances:
• | Payroll and related — Payroll and related expenses were incurred mainly for employees in customer service, information technology, inventory, collections, finance and other support functions as well as executive management. Payroll and related expenses decreased by $0.8 million due primarily to lower payroll and related expenses of $0.6 million for software operations and lower payroll and related expenses of $0.2 million for wireless operations reflecting headcount reductions of 17 FTEs to 166 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 183 FTEs at June 30, 2011 for wireless operations. Software operations FTEs increased by 3 FTEs to 30 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 27 FTEs at June 30, 2011. The lower payroll and related expenses for software operations was due primarily to a one-time benefit of $0.3 million for forfeitures under the 2012 Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”) associated with the departure of two former executives. |
• | Stock based compensation — Stock based compensation expenses consisted primarily of amortization of compensation expense associated with RSUs awarded to certain eligible employees for both wireless and software operations and amortization of compensation expense for restricted stock awarded to non-executive members of our Board of Directors under the Equity Plans. Stock based compensation expenses decreased by $0.5 million primarily due to a net one-time benefit of $0.4 million for forfeitures under the 2011 LTIP associated with the departure of two former executives in our software operations. |
38
• | Bad debt —The increase of $0.4 million in bad debt expenses is primarily due to a one-time benefit of $0.5 million in the bad debt allowance account during the three months ended June 30, 2011, partially offset by a reduction of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which reflected our bad debt experience due to the change in the composition of the wireless operations customer base to accounts with a large number of units in service. |
• | Facility rent —The decrease of $0.2 million in facility rent expenses was primarily due to lower facility rent expenses of $0.2 million related to the closure of office facilities in the wireless operations as we continue to rationalize our operating requirements to meet lower revenue and customer demand for the wireless operations. |
• | Telecommunications —The decrease of $47,000 in telecommunication expenses reflected continued office and staffing reductions as we continue to streamline our operations and reduce our telecommunication requirements for the wireless operations. |
• | Outside services —Outside service expenses consisted primarily of costs associated with printing and mailing invoices, outsourced customer service, temporary help, and various professional fees. The decrease of $0.1 million in outside service expenses was primarily due to lower external legal service expenses for wireless operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. |
• | Taxes, licenses and permits —Tax, license and permit expenses consist of property, franchise, gross receipts and transactional taxes. The decrease in tax, license and permit expenses of $0.8 million was primarily due to one-time resolution of various state and local tax audits for wireless operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 at amounts higher than the originally estimated liabilities. |
• | Other —The increase of $0.6 million in other expenses was primarily due to an increase of $0.1 million in financial service expenses for the wireless operations and an increase of $0.5 million for the software operations, which consisted of office expenses of $0.1 million and various other miscellaneous expenses of $0.4 million. |
Severance and Restructuring. Severance and restructuring expenses increased to $24,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $17,000 for the same period in 2011, which consisted of lease restructuring costs associated with the terminations of certain lease agreements for transmitter locations for wireless operations. Severance and restructuring expenses of $24,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were all related to severance expenses for software operations due to involuntary terminations.
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses were $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2011. There were $0.4 million in lower depreciation expense for the period from fully depreciated paging infrastructure and other assets, $0.3 million in lower depreciation expense on paging devices resulting from fewer purchases of paging devices and from fully depreciated paging devices, $22,000 decrease in amortization expenses and $17,000 decrease in accretion expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses for software operations represented $1.7 million of the total $4.6 million in depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses for the three months end June 30, 2012 and $1.7 million of the total $5.3 million in depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Interest Expense, Net; Other Income, Net and Income Tax Expense
Interest Expense, Net.Net interest expense decreased to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $0.9 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to minimal interest on debt for the three months ended June 30, 2012 associated with the Amcom acquisition as the debt was completely repaid on April 6, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, we have no debt outstanding.
39
Other Income, Net. Net other income decreased to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $7.7 million of other income, net, for the same period in 2011. The other income recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily related to the gain on the sale of narrowband personal communications service licenses to Sensus USA, Inc. (“Sensus”) in 2011 of $7.5 million.
Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $5.7 million, an increase of $1.3 million from $4.4 million of income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Operations revenue from software licenses, professional services, and equipment sales was $12.7 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Operations revenue decreased by $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to a significant sale that was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Maintenance revenue for software operations is recognized as earned over the maintenance contract period. Maintenance revenue was $12.9 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the period of March 3, 2011 through June 30, 2011, maintenance revenue was reduced by $3.5 million to reflect the reduction to fair value as required by acquisition accounting.

As illustrated in the table above, cost of products sold for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $0.5 million from the same period in 2011 due to the following variances:
• | Payroll and related — The increase of $1.9 million in payroll and related expenses was due to installation costs associated with the software operations. Total FTEs who performed software installations as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 115 FTEs and 112 FTEs, respectively. |
42
• | Cost of sales — The decrease of $1.3 million in cost of sales was due to $1.5 million reduction to wireless operations’ costs due to the lower cost basis of devices sold to or lost by wireless operations’ customers, partially offset by an increase in cost of sales of hardware and third-party software of $0.2 million for software operations. |
• | Other —Other expenses associated with installation services costs in the software operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased slightly compared to the same period in 2011. |

As illustrated in the table above, service, rental and maintenance expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $4.5 million or 13.7% from the same period in 2011 due to the following variances:
• | Site rent — The decrease of $3.6 million in site rent expenses was primarily due to the rationalization of our networks, which has decreased the number of transmitters required to provide service to our customers. The reduction in transmitters has, in turn, reduced the number of lease locations for the wireless operations. Active transmitters declined 8.7% in 2012 from the same period in 2011. |
43
• | Telecommunications —The decrease of $1.3 million in telecommunication expenses was due to the consolidation of our networks. We believe continued reductions in these expenses will occur as our networks continue to be consolidated as anticipated throughout 2012 for our wireless operations. |
• | Payroll and related —Payroll and related expenses for wireless operations were incurred largely for field technicians, their managers, and in-house repair personnel, and payroll and related expenses for software operations were incurred for product development and technical support personnel.The increase in payroll and related expenses of $0.6 million was due primarily to the increase of $1.6 million of payroll and related costs for software operations, partially offset by a reduction of $1.0 million in payroll and related costs for wireless operations due to headcount reductions of 22 FTEs to 157 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 179 FTEs at June 30, 2011. Software operations FTEs increased by 8 FTEs to 64 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 56 FTEs at June 30, 2011. |
• | Stock based compensation —Stock based compensation expenses increased slightly due to higher amortization of compensation expense for the RSUs awarded to certain eligible employees under the 2009 LTIP. |
• | Other — The decrease of $0.1 million in other expenses was due primarily to a decrease in office expenses of $0.5 million and a decrease in repairs and maintenance expenses of $0.2 million for wireless operations, partially offset by an increase in outside service expenses of $0.5 million and various other expenses, net of $0.1 million for software operations. |

As indicated in the table above, selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $0.1 million, or 0.5%, from the same period in 2011. Selling and marketing expenses consisted
44
primarily of payroll and related expenses, which increased $0.6 million or 9.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to the increase of payroll and related costs of $1.4 million for software operations, partially offset by a reduction of $0.8 million in payroll and related costs for wireless operations due to headcount reductions of 25 FTEs to 88 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 113 FTEs at June 30, 2011. Software operations FTEs increased by 13 FTEs to 66 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 53 FTEs at June 30, 2011. The sales and marketing staff are all involved in selling our paging and software products and services domestically and internationally, as well as reselling other wireless products and services such as cellular phones and e-mail devices under authorized agent agreements. These expenses support our efforts to maintain gross placements of units in service, which mitigated the impact of disconnects on our revenue base for wireless operations, and to identify business opportunities for additional or future software sales. We have a centralized marketing function which is focused on supporting our software products and vertical sales efforts by strengthening our brand, generating sales leads and facilitating the sales process. These marketing functions are accomplished through targeted email campaigns, webinars, regional and national user conferences, monthly newsletters and participation at industry trade shows. We sell our software products through a direct and channel sales force that consists of a dedicated team of managers. Due to the longer sales cycle for our software products we have increased the number of software sales and marketing staff with the intention of increasing our potential sales opportunities. We have reduced the overall cost of our selling and marketing activities on the wireless operations by focusing on the most productive sales and marketing employees.
Commission expenses decreased by $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due primarily to a reduction of commission expenses for wireless operations of $0.8 million in line with the revenue and subscriber erosion. The increase of $0.2 million in other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to increases in travel and entertainment expenses, outside service expenses, advertising expenses totaling $0.3 million and miscellaneous expenses of $0.1 million in our software operations, partially offset by reductions in travel and entertainment expenses, outside service expenses and rewards and recognition expenses totaling $0.2 million in our wireless operations.

As illustrated in the table above, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $3.7 million, or 12.7%, from the same period in 2011 due primarily to lower outside service expenses and tax, license and permit expenses. The 2011 outside service expenses included one-time acquisition related costs of $2.7 million for wireless operations. Total general and administrative expenses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to the following variances:
• | Payroll and related — Payroll and related expenses were incurred mainly for employees in customer service, information technology, inventory, collections, finance and other support functions as well as executive management. Payroll and related expenses decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to lower payroll and related expenses of $0.6 million for wireless operations reflecting headcount reductions of 17 FTEs to 166 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 183 FTEs at June 30, 2011 for wireless operations, partially offset by higher payroll and related expenses of $0.2 million for software operations. Software operations FTEs increased by 3 FTEs to 30 FTEs at June 30, 2012 from 27 FTEs at June 30, 2011. |
45
• | Stock based compensation — Stock based compensation expenses consisted primarily of amortization of compensation expense associated with RSUs awarded to certain eligible employees for both wireless and software operations and amortization of compensation expense for restricted stock awarded to non-executive members of our Board of Directors under the Equity Plans. Stock based compensation expenses decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to a net one-time benefit of $0.4 million for forfeitures under the 2011 LTIP associated with the departure of two former executives in our software operations, partially offset by higher amortization of compensation expenses for both the 2009 LTIP and 2011 LTIP during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. |
• | Bad debt—The increase of $0.2 million in bad debt expenses was primarily due to a one-time benefit in the bad debt allowance account during the six months ended June 30, 2011 in our wireless operations of $0.1 million and by an increase of $0.1 million in bad debt expenses in our software operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. |
• | Facility rent— The decrease of $0.2 million in facility rent expenses was primarily due to lower facility rent expenses of $0.5 million related to the closure of office facilities, as we continue to rationalize our operating requirements to meet lower revenue and customer demand for the wireless operations, offset by an increase in facility rent expenses for software operations of $0.3 million. |
• | Telecommunications—The decrease of $0.1 million in telecommunication expenses reflected continued office and staffing reductions as we continue to streamline our operations and reduce our telecommunication requirements for the wireless operations. |
• | Outside services— Outside service expenses consisted primarily of costs associated with printing and mailing invoices, outsourced customer service, temporary help, and various professional fees. The decrease of $2.9 million in outside service expenses was due primarily to lower external accounting and legal service expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to one-time acquisition and integration related costs of $2.7 million in 2011 and lower customer service expenses of $0.3 million for wireless operations in 2012, partially offset by an increase in outside service expenses of $0.1 million for software operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. |
• | Taxes, licenses and permits—Tax, license and permit expenses consist of property, franchise, gross receipts and transactional taxes. The decrease in tax, license and permit expenses of $0.6 million was primarily due to one-time resolution of various state and local tax audits for wireless operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 at amounts higher than the originally estimated liabilities. |
• | Other— The increase of $0.5 million in other expenses was primarily due to an increase of $0.1 million in financial service expenses for wireless operations and an increase of $0.4 million for office expenses, travel and entertainment expenses, repair and maintenance expenses and various other miscellaneous expenses for the software operations. |
Severance and Restructuring.Severance and restructuring expenses decreased to $46,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $50,000 for the same period in 2011, which consisted of lease restructuring costs associated with the terminations of certain lease agreements for transmitter locations for wireless operations. Severance and restructuring expenses of $46,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of $37,000 of severance expenses for software operations due to involuntary terminations and $9,000 of restructuring expenses for wireless operations.
46
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses were $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2011. There were $0.8 million in lower depreciation expense for the period from fully depreciated paging infrastructure and other assets, $0.9 million in lower depreciation expense on paging devices resulting from fewer purchases of paging devices and from fully depreciated paging devices and $34,000 reduction in accretion expenses, partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in amortization expense due to the increase in intangible assets associated with our software operations. Depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses for software operations represented $3.4 million of the total $9.1 million in depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses for the six months end June 30, 2012 and $2.2 million of the total $9.8 million in depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Interest Expense, Net; Other Income, Net and Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Interest Expense, Net.Net interest expense decreased to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $1.1 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to minimal interest on debt for the six months ended June 30, 2012 associated with the Amcom acquisition as the debt was completely repaid on April 6, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, we have no debt outstanding.
Other Income, Net. Net other income decreased to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $7.8 million of net other income for the same period in 2011. The other income recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily related to the gain on the sale of narrowband personal communications service licenses to Sensus in 2011 of $7.5 million.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit).Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $11.3 million, an increase of $34.3 million from the $23.0 million income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in income tax expense and the effective tax rate reflects no adjustment to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance in 2012. The benefit associated with the change in the deferred income tax asset valuation account in 2011 reflected the expected additional taxable income associated with the acquisition of Amcom. The following is the effective tax rate reconciliation for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Consolidated
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $41.0 million. This available cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third-party financial institutions and consist of invested cash and cash
47
in our operating accounts. The invested cash is invested in interest bearing funds managed by third-party financial institutions. These funds invest in direct obligations of the government of the United States. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurance that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
At any point in time, we have approximately $3.0 to $5.0 million in our operating accounts that are with third-party financial institutions. While we monitor daily the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.
We intend to use our cash on hand to provide working capital, to support operations, and to return value to stockholders by cash dividends and repurchases of our common stock. We may also consider using cash to fund acquisitions of assets of other businesses that we believe will provide a measure of growth or revenue stability while supporting our operating structure.
The significant decrease in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 reflects the use of available cash to repay a significant portion of the debt incurred in the acquisition of Amcom.

Based on current and anticipated levels of operations, we anticipate net cash provided by operating activities, together with the available cash on hand at June 30, 2012, should be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements for both our wireless and software businesses for the foreseeable future.
In the event that net cash provided by operating activities and cash on hand are not sufficient to meet future cash requirements, we may be required to reduce planned capital expenses, reduce or eliminate our cash dividends to stockholders, reduce or eliminate our common stock repurchase program, and/or sell assets or seek additional financing beyond the availability in our revolving credit facility. We can provide no assurance that reductions in planned capital expenses or proceeds from asset sales would be sufficient to cover shortfalls in available cash or that additional financing beyond the availability in our revolving credit facility would be available on acceptable terms. As of June 30, 2012, our available cash on hand was $41.0 million and our available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was $40.0 million (see Borrowings below).
The following table sets forth information on our net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods stated:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities.As discussed above, we are dependent on cash flows from operating activities to meet our cash requirements. Cash from operations varies depending on changes in various working capital items including deferred revenues, accounts payable, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and various accrued expenses. The following table includes the significant cash receipt and expenditure components of our cash flows from operating activities for the periods indicated, and sets forth the change between the indicated periods:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Cash received from customers decreased $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011. Cash received from customers consisted of revenues and direct taxes billed to customers adjusted for changes in accounts receivable, deferred revenue and tax withholding amounts. The decrease was due to lower revenue of $9.8 million, lower deferred revenue of $2.3 million, partially offset by higher customer deposits, accounts receivable and accrued sales tax of $2.0 million.
The decline in cash received from customers was offset by the reductions in cash paid for operating activities as follows:
• | Cash payments for payroll and related costs decreased $1.7 million due primarily to reductions in payroll and related costs for wireless operations. |
• | Cash payments for site rent costs decreased $3.8 million. This decrease was due primarily to lower site rent expenses for leased locations as we rationalized our network and incurred lower payments in 2012 for wireless operations. |
• | Cash payments for telecommunication costs decreased $1.1 million. This decrease was due primarily to the consolidation of our networks and reflects continued office and staffing reductions to support our smaller customer base for wireless operations. |
• | Cash payments for interest costs decreased $0.7 million primarily due to less interest on debt associated with the Amcom acquisition as principal payments were paid to eliminate the debt amount. |
• | Cash payments for other operating costs decreased $3.7 million. The decrease was due primarily to lower outside service costs of $1.9 million (primarily related to one-time acquisition and integration costs in 2011), lower tax, license and permit expenses of $0.6 million, lower office expenses of $0.2 million, and lower various other expenses of $1.0 million in line with the reduction in revenue and subscriber base in the wireless operations. |

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $122.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due primarily to the consideration paid, net of cash acquired related to the Amcom acquisition in the first quarter of 2011 of $134.2 million. This decrease was partially offset by $7.5 million of proceeds received from Sensus in 2011 for the sale of the narrow band PCS license, an increase in consideration paid for the IMCO acquisition of $3.0 million and an increase in capital expenditures net of proceeds from disposal of property and equipment in 2012 compared to 2011 of $0.8 million.
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities increased $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011 due to the repayment of debt of $14.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, issuance of debt in 2011 associated with the Amcom acquisition of $24.0 million was partially offset by $1.3 million in deferred financing costs related to the debt recorded in the first quarter of 2011.
Cash Dividends to Stockholders. For both the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid a total of $11.1 million (or $0.50 per share of common stock) in cash dividends for each of the six month periods.
Future Cash Dividends to Stockholders. On July 30, 2012, our Board of Directors reset the quarterly dividend distribution rate to $0.125 per share of common stock from $0.25 per share of common stock and declared a regular quarterly dividend distribution of $0.125 per share of common stock, with a record date of August 17, 2012, and a payment date of September 7, 2012. This dividend distribution of approximately $2.8 million will be paid from available cash on hand.
Common Stock Repurchase Program.On July 31, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a program for us to repurchase our common stock in the open market. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC will administer such purchases. We expect to use available cash on hand and net cash provided by operating activities to fund the common stock repurchase program.
During 2011 our common stock repurchase program was suspended due to the acquisition of our software operations. On July 24, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a fifth supplement to the common stock repurchase program effective August 1, 2012 and extended the purchase period through December 31, 2013. This repurchase authority allows, at management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market depending upon market price and other factors. Without exceeding the $25.0 million repurchase authority during the purchase period (August 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013), the maximum repurchase authority for the period August 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 is $13.5 million and the maximum repurchase authority for the calendar year 2013 is $19.1 million. (See Note 15 of Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our common stock repurchase program.)
Borrowings. On November 8, 2011 we executed the First Amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). The Amended Credit Agreement increased the amount of the revolving credit facility to $40.0 million. The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is September 3, 2015. The Amended Credit Agreement also revised the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) definition to eliminate the LIBOR floor and reduced the interest rate margin to 3.25%. The debt is secured by a lien on substantially all of the existing assets, interests in assets and proceeds owned or acquired by us.
On April 6, 2012, we repaid the $3.3 million that was outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2012, the Amended Credit Agreement remains in effect with $40.0 million of available
50
borrowing capacity subject to maintaining a minimum liquidity threshold of $25.0 million. The $25.0 million liquidity threshold can be satisfied by maintaining cash on hand or borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2012, we had no debt outstanding. (See Note 13 of Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our long-term debt.)
We are subject to certain financial covenants on a quarterly basis under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. These financial covenants consist of a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all of the required financial covenants as of June 30, 2012.
Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases. We have operating leases for office and transmitter locations. Substantially all of these leases have lease terms ranging from one month to six years. We continue to review our office and transmitter locations, and intend to replace, reduce or consolidate leases, where possible. Total rent expense under operating leases for the wireless operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $4.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively; and approximately $9.8 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total rent expense under operating leases for the software operations for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.3 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Other Commitments.In May 2012, we contracted with a managed service-hosting provider for certain computer support services over a three-year contract term for $0.5 million.
We have various Letters of Credit (“LOCs”) outstanding with multiple state agencies. The LOCs typically have one to three-year contract requirements and contain automatic renewal terms. The deposits related to the LOCs are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Contingencies.We are involved, from time to time, in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. We believe these pending lawsuits will not have a material adverse impact on our financial results or operations.
See Note 21 of Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for legal proceedings during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The preceding discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements
51
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to those related to the impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to amortization and goodwill, accounts receivable allowances, revenue recognition, depreciation expense, asset retirement obligations, severance and restructuring and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies reported in the 2011 Annual Report that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use a non-GAAP financial measure as a key element in determining performance for purposes of incentive compensation under our annual STIP for our wireless and software operations. That non-GAAP financial measure is operating cash flow (“OCF”) defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion (“EBITDA”) less purchases of property and equipment. (EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortization and accretion, each determined in accordance with GAAP). Purchases of property and equipment are also determined in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of STIP performance, OCF was as follows for the periods stated:

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures and Market Risk |
Long-term Debt
On April 6, 2012, we repaid the remaining $3.3 million of the debt outstanding. As of June 30, 2012, we had no debt outstanding. The Amended Credit Agreement remains in effect with $40.0 million of available borrowing capacity. We will be exposed to changes in interest rates should we undertake new borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (see Note 13 of Unaudited Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our long-term debt). The floating interest rate debt exposes us to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate exposure resulting from changes in LIBOR.
The definitive extent of the interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. We do not customarily use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk profile. As of June 30, 2012, we have no derivative financial instruments outstanding to manage our interest rate risk.
We conduct a limited amount of business outside the United States. Currently, all transactions are billed and denominated in United States dollars and, consequently, we do not currently have any material exposure to the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our principal executive officer, and Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of our last fiscal quarter. Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports filed with the SEC (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In addition, our management carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule 13a -15(d) of the Exchange Act, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, of changes in our internal control over financial reporting. Effective January 3, 2012, we converted our software operations’ general ledger and related systems to the same systems currently utilized by wireless operations. Except as described above, the CEO and CFO concluded that there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as of June 30, 2012.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We are involved, from time to time, in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. We believe these pending lawsuits will not have a material adverse impact on our financial results or operations.
Information regarding reportable legal proceedings is contained in “Part I – Item 3 – Legal Proceedings” in the 2011 Annual Report. The following amends and restates the description of previously reported legal contingencies in the 2011 Annual Report for which there has been a material development during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
53
Filed Litigation.On June 25, 2012, Mr. and Mrs. Andre C. Franco (collectively the “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland against Metrocall, Inc. (now USA Mobility Wireless, Inc. “Wireless”), and an employee of Wireless (collectively “the Defendants”). The lawsuit arose from a vehicle accident involving the employee in December 2009. The Plaintiffs seek damages of $21.0 million jointly and severally from the Defendants.
We are fully insured for these damages and our defense against this claim has been assumed by the insurance carrier who has designated legal counsel to handle this lawsuit on our behalf. We do not expect the monetary settlement of this lawsuit, if any, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The risk factors included in “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” of the 2011 Annual Report have not materially changed during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
During the second quarter of 2012, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock. During 2011 our common stock repurchase program was suspended due to the acquisition of our software operations. On July 24, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a fifth supplement to the common stock repurchase program effective August 1, 2012 which reset the repurchase authority to $25.0 million as of August 1, 2012 and extended the purchase period through December 31, 2013. This repurchase authority allows, at management’s discretion, to selectively repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market depending upon market price and other factors. Without exceeding the $25.0 million repurchase authority during the purchase period (August 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013), the maximum repurchase authority for the period August 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 is $13.5 million and the maximum repurchase authority for the calendar year 2013 is $19.1 million.
