1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Premiere Global Services, Inc., or PGi, has been a global leader in virtual meetings for over 20 years. Our cloud-based solutions deliver multi-point, real-time virtual collaboration using video, voice, mobile, web streaming and file sharing technologies. PGi solutions are available via desktops, tablets and mobile devices, helping businesses worldwide be more productive, mobile and environmentally responsible. We have a global presence in 25 countries in our three segments in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results for interim periods shown. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2013 or for any other interim period. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes information and disclosures not included in this quarterly report.

Unless otherwise stated, current and prior period results in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows and these notes reflect our results from continuing operations and exclude the effect of discontinued operations. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information and related disclosures regarding our discontinued operations.


2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and equivalents consist of cash on hand. Cash balances that are legally restricted as to usage or withdrawal are separately included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $0.0 million and $0.6 million of restricted cash, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Included in accounts receivable at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was earned but unbilled revenue of $9.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively, which results from non-calendar month billing cycles and the one-month lag time in billing related to certain of our services. Earned but unbilled revenue is billed within 30 days. Provision for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Provision for doubtful accounts was $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Write-offs against the allowance for doubtful accounts were $0.3 million and $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Write-offs against the allowance for doubtful accounts were $0.4 million in each of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Our allowance for doubtful accounts represents reserves for receivables that reduce accounts receivable to amounts expected to be collected. Management uses significant judgment in estimating uncollectible amounts. In estimating uncollectible amounts, management considers factors such as historical and anticipated customer payment performance and industry-specific economic conditions. Using these factors, management assigns reserves for uncollectible amounts by accounts receivable aging categories to specific customer accounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, commencing when the assets are placed in service. The estimated useful lives are five to seven years for furniture and fixtures, two to five years for software and three to ten years for computer servers and Internet and telecommunications equipment. Accumulated depreciation was $146.4 million and $134.2 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The cost of installation of equipment is capitalized, as applicable. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation. Assets recorded under capital leases and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their useful lives or the term of the related lease.

(UNAUDITED)

Research and Development

Research and development expenses primarily related to developing new services, features and enhancements to existing services that do not qualify for capitalization are expensed as incurred.

Software Development Costs

We capitalize certain costs incurred to develop software features used as part of our service offerings within “Property and Equipment, Net” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We capitalized approximately $4.4 million and $3.9 million of these costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $8.3 million and $7.6 million of these costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We amortize these capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the related software, not to exceed five years. Depreciation expense recorded for the developed software was $3.3 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $6.6 million and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill is subject to an impairment assessment performed at the reporting unit level, at least annually and more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. Our reporting units are our operating segments: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. No impairment of goodwill was identified in the year ended December 31, 2012, the date of our most recent assessment. As of June 30, 2013, we are not aware of any events that would lead to an impairment; therefore, we do not believe that any of our reporting units are at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test.

Cost Method Investments

In March 2013, we invested $1.0 million in a privately-held cloud solutions provider. In September 2012, we invested $1.0 million in a privately-held cloud service marketplace company by purchasing a convertible promissory note. We earn interest on this investment at an annual rate of 8% that will be due with the principal balance in September 2014. In June 2011, we invested approximately $1.0 million in a privately-held conferencing company. This investment is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

These three investments are accounted for under the cost method and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment using financial results, economic data and other quantitative and qualitative factors deemed applicable. In the event an other-than-temporary impairment occurs, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the cost basis and the fair value would be recognized. After the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, our cost method investments had a total carrying value of $2.8 million and $1.9 million and were included as a component of “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from continuing operations consist primarily of usage fees which are generally billed on a per minute basis. To a lesser extent, we charge subscription-based and license fees and have fixed-period minimum revenue commitments. Revenues related to our virtual meeting solutions primarily consist of usage fees which are recognized ratably over the contracted term of the agreement. These revenues may also include set-up fees and maintenance and update fees, which are typically also recognized ratably over the life of the contract. Unbilled revenue consists of earned but unbilled revenue that results from non-calendar month billing cycles and the one-month lag time in billing related to certain of our services. Deferred revenue consists of payments made by customers in advance of the time services are rendered. Incremental direct costs incurred related to deferred revenue are deferred over the life of the contract and are recorded in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

USF Charges

In accordance with Federal Communications Commission rules, we are required to contribute to the federal Universal Service Fund, or USF, for some of our solutions, which we recover from our applicable customers and remit to the Universal Service Administration Company. We present the USF charges that we collect and remit on a net basis, with both collections from our customers and the amounts we remit, recorded in "Net revenues". Had we presented USF charges on a gross basis, net revenues and cost of revenues would have been $6.9 million and $8.2 million higher for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $14.4 million and $17.0 million higher for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

PREMIERE GLOBAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(UNAUDITED)

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated at rates of exchange existing at our condensed consolidated balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the “Accumulated other comprehensive income” component of shareholders’ equity. In addition, certain of our intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently invested for the foreseeable future. Therefore, foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to these permanently invested balances are recorded in the “Accumulated other comprehensive income” component of shareholders’ equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Treasury Stock

All treasury stock transactions are recorded at cost, and all shares of treasury stock repurchased are retired. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we repurchased 16,000 shares of our common stock for $0.2 million in the open market pursuant to our board-approved stock repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 1,202,874 shares of our common stock for $10.3 million in the open market pursuant to our board-approved stock repurchase program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we redeemed 136,863 and 155,985 shares, respectively, of our common stock to satisfy certain of our employees’ tax withholdings due upon the vesting of their restricted stock grants and remitted $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, to the Internal Revenue Service on our employees’ behalf.

Preferred Stock

We have 5.0 million shares of authorized $0.01 par value preferred stock, none of which are issued or outstanding. Under the terms of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our board of directors is empowered to issue preferred stock without shareholder action.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring reserves are based on certain estimates and judgments related to severance and exit costs, contractual obligations and related costs and are recorded as “Restructuring costs (income)” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information and related disclosures regarding our restructuring costs.

Excise and Sales Tax

Some of our solutions may be subject to telecommunications excise tax and sales taxes in states where we have not collected and remitted such taxes from our customers. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we made a $0.3 million payment to one state in partial satisfaction of anticipated amounts due. In 2012, we did not make any significant payments related to the settlement of these state excise and sales tax contingencies.

We have reserves for certain state excise and sales tax contingencies based on the likelihood of obligation. These contingencies are included in “Accrued taxes, other than income taxes” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had reserved approximately $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for certain state excise and sales tax contingencies and interest. We believe we have appropriately accrued for these contingencies. In the event that actual results differ from these reserves, we may need to make adjustments, which could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, states may disagree with our method of assessing and remitting such taxes, or additional states may subject us to inquiries regarding such taxes.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are determined under the asset and liability method as required by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary items are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a period, an expense is recorded within the income tax provision in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under current accounting principles, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the

(UNAUDITED)

income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, compared to $2.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in income tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to discrete tax benefits related to state tax adjustments and our expected 2012 U.S. research and development tax credit. The legislation extending this tax credit was enacted in January 2013.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $5.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits. Upon resolution, unrecognized tax benefits of $4.3 million and $4.1 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, would affect our annual effective tax rate. The unrecognized tax benefits are included in “Accrued expenses” under “Long-Term Liabilities” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our valuation allowance at December 31, 2012 primarily relates to certain foreign and state net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards that, in the opinion of management, are more likely than not to expire unutilized. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our valuation allowance increased by $0.2 million primarily as a result of current year tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions that, in the opinion of management, are more likely than not to go unutilized.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value amounts for cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, net, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt and capital lease obligations at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were based on expected future payments discounted using current interest rates offered to us on debt of the same remaining maturity and characteristics, including credit quality, and did not vary materially from carrying value.

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that the entity intends to use and is available for settlement at the reporting date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. As the guidance is consistent with our current reporting practices, it will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.


3.	RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances related to our restructuring efforts for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The expenses associated with these activities are reflected in “Restructuring costs” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash payments for restructuring costs from continuing operations were $0.9 million and $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The components included in the reconciliation of the liability balances include costs related to our continuing and discontinued operations (in thousands):

Realignment of Workforce – 2012

During 2012, we eliminated approximately 50 positions in an effort to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce. To date, we have recorded $2.2 million of severance costs, which included $0.3 million in adjustments recorded in 2013. On a segment basis, these restructuring costs totaled $1.1 million in North America, $0.7 million in Europe and $0.4 million in Asia Pacific. Our reserve for the 2012 realignment was $0.1 million at June 30, 2013, which we anticipate will be paid within one year.

Realignment of Workforce – 2010

During 2010, we eliminated approximately 165 positions in an effort to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce. To date, we have recorded $9.2 million of severance costs and $0.6 million of lease termination costs associated with this realignment. We have also recorded $1.8 million of asset impairments in connection with these restructuring efforts. In addition, we recorded $0.9 million of exit costs related to marketing efforts abandoned during 2010 and $0.5 million of exit costs related to the reorganization of our operating structure subsequent to the sale of our PGiSend messaging business as restructuring costs. On a segment basis, these restructuring costs totaled $7.7 million in North America, including accelerated vesting of restricted stock with a fair market value of $0.2 million, $2.3 million in Europe and $1.2 million in Asia Pacific. Included in these amounts was an adjustment to reduce severance and exit costs by $0.1 million in Europe, which was recorded during 2013. There is no remaining reserve for the 2010 realignment at June 30, 2013.

Realignment of Workforce – 2009

During 2009, we executed a restructuring plan to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce. As part of these consolidations, we eliminated approximately 500 positions. To date, we have recorded total severance and exit costs of $14.6 million associated with this realignment, including accelerated vesting of restricted stock with a fair market value of $0.2 million in North America. We have also recorded $4.4 million of lease termination costs associated with office locations in North America and Europe. On a segment basis, these restructuring costs totaled $12.4 million in North America, $6.0 million in Europe and $0.6 million in Asia Pacific. Our reserve for the 2009 realignment, comprised of lease termination costs, was $0.3 million at June 30, 2013. We anticipate these costs will be paid within the next two years.

Less current portion	(1,838		)	(3,137		)
Total long-term debt and capital lease obligations	$	176,716		$	179,832

Our credit facility consists of a $250.0 million revolver, a $50.0 million Term A loan and an uncommitted $75.0 million accordion feature. Our subsidiary, American Teleconferencing Services Ltd., or ATS, is the borrower under our credit facility, with PGi and certain of our material domestic subsidiaries guaranteeing the obligations of ATS under the credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our material domestic subsidiaries. In addition, we have pledged as collateral all of the issued and outstanding stock of our material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of our material foreign subsidiaries. Proceeds drawn under our credit facility can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The annual interest rate applicable to borrowings under our credit facility, at our option, is (1) the base rate (the greater of either the federal funds rate plus one-half of one percent, the prime rate or one-month LIBOR plus one and one-half percent) plus an applicable percentage that varies based on our consolidated leverage ratio at quarter end, or (2) LIBOR for one, two, three, nine or twelve months adjusted for a percentage that represents the Federal Reserve Board’s reserve percentage plus an applicable percentage that varies based on our consolidated leverage ratio at quarter end. The applicable percentage for base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 1.25% and 2.25%, respectively, at June 30, 2013 under our credit facility. Our interest rate on LIBOR loans, which comprised materially all of our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2013, was 2.48%. In addition, we pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of our credit facility that is based on our consolidated leverage ratio at quarter end. As of June 30, 2013, the rate applied to the unused portion of our credit facility was 0.35%. Our credit facility contains customary terms and restrictive covenants, including financial covenants. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants under our credit facility.


7.	EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

We may issue restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, directors, non-employee consultants and advisers under our amended and restated 2004 long-term incentive plan and our amended and restated 2000 directors stock plan, each plan as amended. Options issued under our 2004 plan may be either incentive stock options, which permit income tax deferral upon exercise of options, or non-qualified options not entitled to such deferral. We may only issue non-qualified options under our directors stock plan. The compensation committee of our board of directors administers these stock plans.

Equity-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. Included in the expense amounts are employer related costs for taxes incurred upon vesting of awards which do not impact Additional Paid-In Capital. The following table presents total equity-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards included in the line items below in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

(UNAUDITED)

Restricted Stock Awards

The fair value of restricted stock awards is the market value of the stock on the date of grant. The effect of vesting conditions that apply only during the requisite service period is reflected by recognizing compensation cost only for the restricted stock awards for which the requisite service is rendered. As a result, we are required to estimate an expected forfeiture rate, as well as the probability that performance conditions that affect the vesting of certain stock-based awards will be achieved and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. We estimate that forfeiture rate based on historical experience of our stock-based awards that are granted, exercised and voluntarily canceled. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. Our estimated forfeiture rate for restricted stock awards is 3.0%.

The following table summarizes the activity of unvested restricted stock awards under our stock plans from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013:



	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2012	1,764,672		$	8.50
Granted	650,490		11.10
Vested/released	(475,306	)	8.42
Forfeited	(54,165	)	8.26
Unvested at June 30, 2013	1,885,691		$	9.43

The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $11.10 and $8.95, respectively. The aggregate fair value of restricted stock vested was $1.7 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $1.8 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued 330,912 and 637,686 shares, respectively, of our common stock relating to the vesting of restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2013, we had $14.7 million of unvested restricted stock, which we will recognize over a weighted-average recognition period of 2.3 years.

Stock Options

The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant with the Black-Scholes option pricing model using various assumptions such as expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and forfeiture rates. The expected life of stock-based awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding and is estimated using historical data. Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we estimate the volatility of our common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of our common stock. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. We have not historically paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. Stock-based compensation is recorded for only those awards that are expected to vest. No stock options have been issued since the year ended December 31, 2005.

The following table summarizes the stock options activity under our stock plans from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013:



	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding at December 31, 2012	87,168		$	11.23
Granted	—		—
Exercised	—		—
Expired	(74,668	)	11.33

As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, we had no remaining unvested stock options to be recorded as an expense for future periods. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued 109,167 shares of our common stock as a result of options exercised. No options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013.


8.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding at June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, are considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic earnings per share calculation until the shares are vested. Unvested shares of our restricted stock do not contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents.

Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. Our unvested restricted shares and stock options are potentially dilutive securities. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding was the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares and stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share from continuing operations computations contained in our condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands, except per share data):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Net income from continuing operations	$	8,108	$	6,693	$	15,289	$	12,919
Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic and diluted:
Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic	46,204		48,103		46,146		48,279
Add effect of dilutive securities:
Unvested restricted shares	506		448		467		451
Stock options	10		—		5		10
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted	46,720		48,551		46,618		48,740

Diluted net income per share from continuing operations	$	0.17	$	0.14	$	0.33	$	0.27

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 excludes the effect of an aggregate of 890 and 45,361 restricted shares and out-of-the-money options, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 excludes the effect of an aggregate of 117,077 and 149,913 restricted shares, out-of-the-money options and warrants, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Litigation and Claims

State Telecommunications Excise Tax Matter

On March 19, 2013, we received notice of deficiencies from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, dated March 15, 2013, for telecommunications franchise and gross excise taxes assessed on our former subsidiary, Xpedite Systems, LLC, or Xpedite, for the tax years ended December 31, 2001 - 2006. The assessments total approximately $4.3 million as of March 4, 2013, including approximately $1.9 million in taxes and $2.4 million in accrued interest and penalties, on which interest continues to accrue. We believe we are adequately reserved for this matter. We plan to vigorously contest these assessments. However, if the New York State Department of Taxation’s assessment is sustained, the amount assessed could result in a material adjustment to our consolidated financial statements which would impact our cash flows and results of operations. We agreed to indemnify EasyLink for this matter in connection with our PGiSend sale.

State Corporate Tax Matter

On August 6, 2010, our former subsidiary, Xpedite, received a final determination from the New Jersey Division of Taxation upholding a corporate business tax audit assessment for the tax years ended December 31, 1998 through December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2002. The assessment totaled approximately $6.2 million as of August 15, 2010, including approximately $2.4 million in taxes and $3.8 million in accrued interest and penalties, on which interest continues to accrue. The assessment relates to the sourcing of Xpedite’s receipts for purposes of determining the amount of its income that is properly attributable to, and therefore taxable by, New Jersey. We are vigorously contesting the determination through a timely appeal that we filed with the Tax Court of New Jersey on November 2, 2010. We believe we are adequately reserved for this matter. However, if the New Jersey Division of Taxation’s final determination is sustained, the amount assessed could result in a material adjustment to our consolidated financial statements which would impact our cash flows and results of operations. We agreed to indemnify EasyLink for this matter in connection with our PGiSend sale.

Other Litigation and Claims

We are involved in other litigation matters and are subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business that we do not believe will have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations, although we can offer no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such matters.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

We manage our operations on a geographic regional basis, with segments in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The accounting policies as described in the summary of significant accounting policies are applied consistently across our segments. Our North America segment is primarily comprised of operations in the United States and Canada. We present “Operating income” for each of our segments as a measure of segment profit. Our chief operating decision makers use operating income internally as a means of analyzing segment performance and believe that it more clearly represents our segment profit without the impact of income taxes and other non-operating items.

ITEM 2	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

PGi has been a global leader in virtual meetings for over 20 years. Our cloud-based solutions deliver multi-point, real-time virtual collaboration using video, voice, mobile, web streaming and file sharing technologies. PGi solutions are available via desktops, tablets and mobile devices, helping businesses worldwide be more productive, mobile and environmentally responsible. We have a global presence in 25 countries in our three segments in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

During 2013, we are continuing our strategy to transition PGi to a software-as-a-service, or SaaS, company, focusing our sales and marketing efforts on growing the market awareness and adoption of our next-generation virtual meeting solutions, iMeet^® and GlobalMeet^®. As a result and except as provided herein, the following discussion and analysis reflects our results from continuing operations.

Key highlights of our financial accomplishments for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 include:


•	Generated approximately 4.1% growth in our net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, despite a negative impact of 0.8% from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and


•	Grew revenues from our SaaS products by approximately 75% during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.

Our primary corporate objectives for the remainder of 2013 are focused on continuing to:


•	Expand our global distribution through an increase in our direct sales headcount, as well as new agents, resellers and strategic alliances with carriers worldwide, in order to further our market reach and accelerate customer awareness and adoption of iMeet and GlobalMeet;


•	Develop and release additional upgrades and enhancements to iMeet and GlobalMeet to increase their functionality, improve their competitive positioning and grow their market opportunities; and


•	Transition our audio-only customers to our more integrated, online meeting solutions that provide a richer, more productive user experience.

We believe these strategic initiatives will increase the addressable market opportunity for PGi and our solutions.

In the first six months of 2013, 36.6% of our net revenues were generated in countries outside the United States. Because we generate a significant portion of our net revenues from our international operations, movements in foreign currency exchange rates affect our reported results. We estimate that changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the first six months of 2013 negatively affected our net revenues by approximately $1.8 million as compared to the same period in 2012.

We have historically generated net revenue growth in our meeting solutions. Revenue growth is driven primarily by the increase of total minutes sold, partially offset by the decrease in average rates per minute. We believe that this trend is consistent with the industry, and we expect it to continue in the foreseeable future. Our business trends and revenue growth continue to be affected by the challenging economic climate, higher global unemployment and lower global business activity. Despite these economic headwinds and continued price compression, our net revenues increased to $261.7 million in the first six months of 2013 as compared to $253.6 million in the same period in 2012, primarily due to our volume growth.

We have historically used our cash flows from operating activities for debt repayments, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, acquisitions and strategic investments. As of June 30, 2013, borrowings under our $375.0 million credit facility, including the uncommitted $75.0 million accordion feature, were $174.8 million. See “- Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Resources” for a description of our credit facility.

In addition, we intend to continue to prudently invest in our virtual meeting solutions, specifically in technology innovation and platform development, as well as new market strategies to better meet the needs of our existing customers and to better attract, engage and acquire new customers.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. See the section in this quarterly report entitled “—Critical Accounting Policies.” The following discussion and analysis provides information which we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations

and financial condition. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2013 or for any other interim period. The financial information and discussion presented herein should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes information and disclosures not included in this quarterly report. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

June 30, 2013	$	261,670		$	172,669		$	56,354		$	32,647

Net revenues increased in each of our operating segments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 from the comparable prior year periods due to increased volume, partially offset by decreased average selling prices. These trends in volume and average selling prices are primarily due to volume growth from newly acquired and existing large enterprise customers, mix of products sold and continued price reductions to existing customers. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted net revenues in Asia Pacific by $1.0 million and $1.7 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, but did not have a significant impact in North America or Europe.

Asia Pacific	52.3	47.6	51.7	45.1
Consolidated	43.0	42.3	42.9	42.3

The increase in costs of revenues as a percentage of segment net revenues for Europe and Asia Pacific during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was attributable primarily to volume growth in our large enterprise customer base, including increased capacity requirements in certain countries in Asia Pacific with higher telecommunication costs and price concessions to existing customers in both regions. In addition, certain global customer costs were re-allocated between regions, resulting in higher costs of revenues in Europe offset by lower North America costs. Large enterprise customer agreements are generally negotiated on a global basis, resulting in varying profitability at the segment level. The increases in Europe were mitigated by growth in sales of our higher margin virtual meeting solutions. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in a decrease in cost of revenue in Asia Pacific of $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012.

The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of segment net revenues for North America during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was attributable primarily to the growth in our higher margin virtual meeting solutions, the re-allocation of customer costs between regions discussed above and a decrease in sales of lower margin third-party products. This decrease was partially offset by continued price concessions to existing customers.

Asia Pacific	28.6	30.1	28.8	30.8
Consolidated	26.0	26.0	26.2	26.4

Selling and marketing expenses increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 from the same periods in the previous year for North America and Europe. The increase in North America was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs due to an increase in headcount, as well as new promotional incentives on certain products beginning in 2013. These increases were partially offset by lower marketing and direct advertising costs since the initial launch of our iMeet and GlobalMeet products. Europe also had headcount increases over the past year, which resulted in the majority of the increase in selling and marketing expenses for that region. The increases in Europe were partially offset by the impact of severance costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012. While selling and marketing expenses in Asia Pacific remained fairly consistent for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 in comparison to the same periods of the prior year, fluctuations in foreign currencies resulted in a decrease of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The foreign currency impact to Asia Pacific was primarily offset by increases in personnel-related costs due to an increase in headcount and advertising costs.

General and administrative expenses in North America and Europe increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily as a result of increases in professional fees incurred in connection with various legal and tax matters, none of which were individually significant. General and administrative expenses in Asia Pacific decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to a decrease in bad debt expense.

Research and Development Expenses

Consolidated research and development expense as a percentage of net revenues was 2.9% in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and was 2.8% and 2.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Consolidated research and development expenses increased $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by additional resources to develop our virtual meeting solutions. We incurred the majority of research and development costs in North America.

Equity-Based Compensation Expense

Equity-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards is included in operating expenses. The expense was recorded in the line items below (in thousands):

Consolidated amortization expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily as a result of customer lists and non-compete intangible assets from acquisitions in North America and Europe that have become fully amortized.

Restructuring Costs

Consolidated restructuring costs were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing less than 0.1% of net revenues for each period.

Realignment of Workforce – 2012

During 2012, we eliminated approximately 50 positions in an effort to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce. To date, we have recorded $2.2 million of severance costs which included $0.3 million in adjustments recorded in 2013. On a segment basis, these restructuring costs totaled $1.1 million in North America, $0.7 million in Europe and $0.4 million in Asia Pacific. Our reserve for the 2012 realignment was $0.1 million at June 30, 2013, which we anticipate will be paid within one year.

Realignment of Workforce – 2010

Realignment of Workforce – 2009

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1.5 million and $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $3.3 million and $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our effective interest rate on LIBOR loans, which comprised materially all of our outstanding borrowings, was 2.48% and 2.75% at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The weighted-average outstanding balance on our credit facility was $185.4 million and $188.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $185.6 million and $188.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, compared to $2.7 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to discrete tax benefits related to state tax adjustments and our expected 2012 U.S. research and development tax credit. The legislation extending this tax credit was enacted in January 2013.

June 30, 2013, our valuation allowance increased by $0.2 million primarily as a result of current year tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions that, in the opinion of management, are more likely than not to go unutilized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities

Consolidated operating cash flows were $29.9 million and $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to fluctuations in working capital in 2013 compared to 2012.

Cash used in investing activities

Consolidated investing activities used cash of $17.9 million and $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The principal use of cash in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to $17.3 million of capital expenditures. The principal use of cash in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to $15.0 million of capital expenditures. The increase was primarily due to higher investment in new software and expansion of our international network.

Cash used in financing activities

Consolidated financing activities used cash of $6.6 million and $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The primary use of cash from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $5.2 million of net payments on borrowing arrangements and $1.8 million in treasury stock purchases, which includes the value of shares of our common stock redeemed to satisfy employees’ tax withholdings due upon the vesting of their restricted stock grants. The primary use of cash from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $10.4 million of net payments on our borrowing arrangements and $11.4 million in treasury stock purchases, partially offset by $0.9 million related to the exercise of stock options.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

At June 30, 2013, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Capital resources

Our credit facility consists of a $250.0 million revolver, a $50.0 million Term A loan and an uncommitted $75.0 million accordion feature. Our subsidiary, ATS, is the borrower under our credit facility, with PGi and certain of our material domestic subsidiaries guaranteeing the obligations of ATS under the credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of our assets and

the assets of our material domestic subsidiaries. In addition, we have pledged as collateral all of the issued and outstanding stock of our material domestic subsidiaries and 65% of our material foreign subsidiaries. Proceeds drawn under our credit facility can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The annual interest rate applicable to borrowings under our credit facility, at our option, is (1) the base rate (the greater of either the federal funds rate plus one-half of one percent, the prime rate or one-month LIBOR plus one and one-half percent) plus an applicable percentage that varies based on our consolidated leverage ratio at quarter end, or (2) LIBOR for one, two, three, six, nine or twelve months adjusted for a percentage that represents the Federal Reserve Board’s reserve percentage plus an applicable percentage that varies based on our consolidated leverage ratio at quarter end. The applicable percentage for base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 1.25% and 2.25%, respectively, at June 30, 2013 under our credit facility. Our interest rate on LIBOR loans, which comprised materially all of our outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2013, was 2.48%. In addition, we pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of our credit facility that is based on our consolidated leverage ratio at quarter end. As of June 30, 2013, the rate applied to the unused portion of our credit facility was 0.35%. Our credit facility contains customary terms and restrictive covenants, including financial covenants. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the covenants under our credit facility.

At June 30, 2013, we had utilized $180.3 million of our credit facility, with $174.8 million in borrowings and $5.5 million in letters of credit outstanding. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates on interest payments associated with our credit facility. As of June 30, 2013, we have no outstanding interest rate swaps.

At the scheduled maturity of our credit facility in December 2016, or in the event of an acceleration of the indebtedness under the credit facility following an event of default, the entire outstanding principal amount of the indebtedness under the facility, together with all other amounts payable thereunder, will become due and payable. We may not have sufficient funds to pay such obligations in full at maturity or upon such acceleration. If we default and are not able to pay any such obligations due, our lenders have liens on substantially all of our assets and could foreclose on our assets in order to satisfy our obligations.

We regularly review our capital structure and evaluate potential alternatives in light of current conditions in the capital markets. Depending upon conditions in these markets, cash flows from our segments and other factors, we may engage in other capital transactions. These capital transactions include, but are not limited to, debt or equity issuances or credit facilities with banking institutions.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2013, we had $25.3 million in cash and equivalents compared to $21.0 million as of December 31, 2012. Cash balances residing outside of the United States were $21.8 million and $18.6 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As we generate positive cash flows in the United States, we currently do not foresee a requirement to repatriate the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries to fund domestic operations or repay domestic obligations. Included in these cash flows are repayments of royalties and management fees charged to international locations from the United States. We also utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies with the objective of having our worldwide cash and cash equivalents available in the locations where they are needed, and, when advantageous, may access foreign cash or cash equivalents in a tax efficient manner. However, if these funds are needed for our operations in the United States, we could be required to pay additional U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.

At June 30, 2013, we had $119.7 million of available credit on our credit facility, without regard to the uncommitted $75.0 million accordion feature. We have historically borrowed on our credit facility in order to fund stock repurchases and acquisitions. We had sufficient cash flows from consolidated operations to service existing debt obligations, to fund capital expenditure requirements and to fund research and development expenses for new services and enhancements to existing services. Assuming no material change to these costs, which we do not anticipate, we believe that we will generate adequate operating cash flows for capital expenditures and contractual commitments and to satisfy our indebtedness and fund our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We review the accounting policies used in reporting our financial results on a regular basis and review critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the audit committee of our board of directors. We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial condition and results of operations:


•	Revenue recognition;


•	Allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable;


•	Goodwill and other intangible assets;


•	Income taxes;


•	Restructuring costs; and


•	Legal contingencies.

For a detailed discussion on the application of these accounting policies, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere by us or by management from time to time, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and reflect future business decisions which are subject to change. A variety of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following factors:


•	Competitive pressures, including pricing pressures;


•	Technological changes and the development of alternatives to our services;


•	Market acceptance of our cloud-based, virtual meeting solutions, including our iMeet and GlobalMeet solutions;


•	Our ability to attract new customers and to retain and further penetrate our existing customers;


•	Our ability to establish and maintain strategic reseller relationships;


•	Risks associated with challenging global economic conditions;


•	Price increases from our telecommunications service providers;


•	Service interruptions and network downtime;


•	Technological obsolescence and our ability to upgrade our equipment or increase our network capacity;


•	Concerns regarding the security and privacy of our customer’s confidential information;


•	Future write-downs of goodwill or other intangible assets;


•	Greater than anticipated tax and regulatory liabilities;


•	Restructuring and cost reduction initiatives and the market reaction thereto;


•	Our level of indebtedness;


•	Risks associated with acquisitions and divestitures;


•	Indemnification claims from the sale of our PGiSend business;


•	Our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, including possible adverse results of litigation or infringement claims;


•	Regulatory or legislative changes, including further government regulations applicable to traditional telecommunications service providers and data privacy;


•	Risks associated with international operations and market expansion, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;


•	Factors described under the caption Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012; and


•	Factors described from time to time in our press releases, reports and other filings made with the SEC.

We caution that these factors are not exclusive. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in other documents filed with the SEC are qualified by these cautionary statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or to release publicly any revisions to forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of the quarterly report or the date of the statement, if a different date, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


ITEM 3	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and the timing of intercompany payable settlements. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates on interest payments associated with our credit facility. However, as of June 30, 2013, we had no outstanding swaps.

At June 30, 2013, we had borrowings of approximately $174.8 million outstanding under our credit facility that are subject to interest rate risk. Each 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates relative to these borrowings would impact our annual pre-tax earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.8 million based on our June 30, 2013 debt level.

We generated approximately 36.6% of our consolidated net revenues and 32.5% of our operating expenses in countries outside of the United States in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Additionally, we have foreign currency denominated debt as part of our credit facility. At June 30, 2013, we had foreign debt outstanding of £2.5 million. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates impact the amount of our reported consolidated net revenues, operating income and debt. A hypothetical positive or negative change of 10% in foreign currency exchange rates in the aggregate would positively or negatively change our consolidated net revenues, operating expenses and outstanding debt for the six months ended June 30, 2013 by approximately $9.6 million, $7.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Our principal exposure has been related to local currency sales and operating costs in Australia, Canada, the Euro Zone, Japan, Norway and the United Kingdom. We have not used derivatives to manage foreign currency exchange risk, and we did not have any foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2013.


ITEM 4	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), were effective and designed to ensure that (a) information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (b) information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
