EASYLINK SERVICES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EasyLink Services International Corporation (formerly Internet Commerce Corporation, referred to as “EasyLink,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying financial statements do not include all the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. While we believe the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2007.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
Operating results for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008 or any future period.
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
EasyLink’s original core business deploys and manages the secure and reliable electronic exchange of essential business documents over our value added network (“VAN”), hosted applications and managed services. We are known as a trusted provider of e-commerce solutions to connect businesses, regardless of their size and level of technical sophistication, with their trading communities through electronic data interchange or “EDI.”
With our acquisition on August 20, 2007 of EasyLink Service Corporation (“ESC”), we added a comprehensive portfolio of EDI services and other messaging services that deliver high volumes of mission-critical documents through various non-EDI message delivery modes including e-mail, telex and fax. Our fax services include integrated desktop messaging which allows customers to integrate fax sending and receiving with their existing corporate e-mail systems and associated administrative systems as well as production and broadcast fax messaging services. We also enable customers to automate and personalize outbound communications with their global business partners through e-mail, file transfer, document capture and management services (“DCM”) and workflow services. DCM allows customers to digitally convert paper forms into usable data that can be processed directly by enterprise systems such as production servers, workflow solutions and databases. Workflow services provide customers the capability of moving, sorting and retrieving images and documents electronically within a work group. See Note 2, Acquisitions.
We are focusing on two reportable business segments, the Supply Chain Messaging segment and the On Demand Messaging segment. The Supply Chain Messaging segment is composed of all EDI services including VAN services and browser-based and hosted applications. In addition, this segment includes all telex services. The On Demand Messaging segment includes integrated desktop messaging, production fax, broadcast fax, e-mail, file transfer, DCM and workflow services.
Our principal executive offices are located at 6025 The Corners Parkway, Suite 100, Norcross, Georgia 30092, and our telephone number at that location is (678) 533-8000.

2. ACQUISITIONS
EasyLink Services Corporation
On August 20, 2007, we completed our acquisition by merger of ESC, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary. ESC is a global provider of outsourced business process automation services that enable medium and large enterprises, including a majority of the Fortune 100, to improve productivity and competitiveness by transforming manual and paper-based business processes into efficient electronic business processes. We acquired ESC to diversify our service offerings, increase our revenue and obtain a larger customer base in order to compete more effectively in the market place.
We began this acquisition process on May 3, 2007, when the Company and one of our then existing wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jets Acquisition Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire ESC (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we paid $5.80 per share in cash in exchange for each share of class A common stock of ESC, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $70.8 million.
On May 3, 2007, in order to finance the Merger, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) affiliated with York Capital Management (“York Capital”). On July 2, 2007, in order to secure immediate bridge financing for the Merger, we entered into an additional Securities Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers (the “Bridge Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchasers purchased an aggregate of $10 million in principal amount of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) issued by EasyLink.
On August 20, 2007, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as amended by an Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 20, 2007) and the Bridge Agreement, we issued to the Purchasers in a private placement Series A Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Series A Notes”), Series B Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Series B Notes”), warrants to purchase shares of our class A common stock (the “Warrants”) and additional investment rights to acquire additional notes on the same terms as the Series A Notes (the “Additional Investment Rights”) for an aggregate purchase price of $70,105,416. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Bridge Agreement, the Purchasers purchased from us Series A Notes in an original aggregate principal amount of $30 million and Series B Notes in an original aggregate principal amount of $30 million. In addition, the Purchasers converted all of the Bridge Notes into equal portions of Series A Notes and Series B Notes in an original principal amount of $10 million plus accrued interest. The Series A Notes bear interest at the prime rate plus 75 basis points (0.75%) less an interest factor based on the performance of our class A common stock, and interest is payable either quarterly in arrears or annually in advance at our option. The Series B Notes bear interest at the prime rate plus 300 basis points (3.00%) less an interest factor based on the performance of our class A common stock, and interest is payable either quarterly in arrears or annually in advance at our option.
Both the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) have a term of four years and must be repaid in 30 equal monthly installments of principal beginning 18 months after issuance. We may prepay the Notes at any time, subject to a prepayment penalty of up to 25% and certain other conditions. Prior to August 20, 2008, we may prepay $15 million of the Series B Notes from the proceeds of certain types of asset sales, which prepayment will be subject to a 12.5% prepayment penalty.
We were required to prepay a total of $5 million of the Series A Notes and $5 million of the Series B Notes plus interest prior to December 19, 2007, which prepayment would have been subject to a 12.5% prepayment penalty. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 18, 2007 (the “Second Amendment to Purchase Agreement”), however, we were relieved of the obligation to make that prepayment.
We are obligated to offer to prepay the Notes in the event of any “Asset Sale” (defined to include the issuance of any equity securities or the sale of any assets with a value of more than $500,000) or if we accumulate more than fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) in cash and cash equivalents (defined as “Excess Cash Flow”) at the end of any fiscal quarter, with the amount of the prepayment offer to be one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds of the Asset Sale or fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Cash Flow. Each Purchaser has ten (10) trading days in which to accept such offer.
5
Accordingly, we made offers of partial prepayment in connection with Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2007 and with the sale of our web-based fax delivery business. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment to Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers declined both of our offers of partial prepayment and eliminated the requirement that we reduce the outstanding balance of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes at December 17, 2007 to $60,000,000. The Second Amendment to Purchase Agreement also clarified certain language in the Purchase Agreement to provide that Excess Cash Flow would be measured at the end of each fiscal quarter.
The Warrants entitle the Purchasers to acquire an aggregate of 4,156,448 shares of our class A common stock. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $3.34 per share from the closing of the ESC merger until the fifth anniversary of the date a registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is declared effective by the SEC. The Additional Investment Rights entitle the Purchasers to purchase additional notes having terms similar to the Series A Notes in an aggregate principal amount up to $10,000,000.
Under the Purchase Agreement, we are subject to certain limitations, including limitations on our ability to incur additional debt or sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions, grant liens and pay dividends and distributions. We are also subject to financial covenants on a quarterly basis, which include minimum requirements for recurring revenue of $22.5 million; for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined in the Purchase Agreement that range from $2.75 million to $4.5 million over the life of the Notes; and for the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense that range from 1.55 to 3.00 over the life of the Notes. The Purchase Agreement contains certain events of default (many of which are subject to applicable cure periods), including, among others, the failure to make payments when due, defaults under other contractual obligations, change of control and noncompliance with covenants.
In connection with the issuance and sale of the securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, ESC entered into a guaranty agreement whereby it has guaranteed the repayment of the Series A Notes and Series B Notes and provided a senior security interest in all or substantially all of its assets as collateral to secure such guarantee. We also granted a senior security interest in all or substantially all of our assets and pledged our shares of capital stock in ESC. All of the proceeds from the Purchase Agreement and the Bridge Agreement were used to finance the Merger.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement covering: (1) the resale by the Purchasers of the shares of class A common stock issuable upon conversion or payment of principal and/or interest of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes; (2) the resale by the Purchasers of the shares of class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; (3) the resale by the Purchasers of the shares of class A common stock issuable upon conversion or payment of principal and/or interest of the additional notes on the same terms as the Series A Notes that the Purchasers have the right to acquire pursuant to the Additional Investment Rights; and (4) the resale by the Purchasers of the shares of class A common stock issuable upon conversion or payment of principal and/or interest of the additional Series A Notes and Series B Notes into which the Bridge Notes were converted (all of such securities being the “Registrable Securities”).
On February 22, 2008, we entered into the Third Amendment to Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, further extending the date by which the initial registration statement registering shares of the class A common stock underlying the securities purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement must be effective. As amended, our obligation to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities has been extended until such time as Purchasers holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities request in writing (a “Registration Notice”) that we file such a registration statement, and we are obligated to cause such registration to become effective within 120 days following the date of the Registration Notice.

3. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On December 7, 2007, the Company, ESC, and j2 Global Communications, Inc. (“j2 Global”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which ESC sold to j2 Global certain assets and liabilities relating to and used in ESC’s web-based fax delivery service known as RapidFax. The net purchase price paid by j2 Global was $5.2 million in cash after adjustment, subject to a holdback amount as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. No gain or loss was recognized from this sale.

As per the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-5 as modified by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
No. 00-27, we recorded a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $15.5 million upon the issuance of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes and assigned a separate fair market value as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing method to the Warrants issued under the Purchase Agreement related to the Notes amounting to approximately $7.0 million. These amounts, totaling $22.5 million, were recorded by proportionately reducing the face value of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes on the date of issuance with the offset to additional paid-in capital. We then must recognize the $22.5 million as interest expense in our financial statements over the life of the Notes using the interest rate method. We have also recorded $316,000 of debt issue costs as a discount to the debt, and we will also recognize that amount as interest expense over the life of the Notes. Should any of the Series A or Series B Notes be converted to common stock as per their terms, any proportional amount of the remaining unrecognized $22.8 million as of the date of conversion will be recognized as interest expense.
We are also subject to quarterly financial covenants as long as any portion of the debt is outstanding, including minimum requirements for recurring revenue of $22.5 million; for EBITDA that range from $2.75 million to $4.5 million over the life of the Notes; and for the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense that range from 1.55 to 3.0 over the life of the Notes.
6. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
On April 25, 2008, the holder of 250 shares of our Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock gave notice to convert all of such shares. Each share of Series D Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock was convertible into 769.23 shares of Class A common stock, resulting in an issuance of 192,307 shares. The effective date of the conversion was April 25, 2008.
On April 7, 2008, a holder of 98,600 of our warrants exercised those warrants in exchange for 98,600 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $2.22, for a total of $218,892 in cash.
7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We will be required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) for the fiscal year beginning August 1, 2008. SFAS 157 provides a single definition of fair value and a hierarchical framework for measuring it, as well as establishing additional disclosure requirements about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides the option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the intent to mitigate volatility in financial reporting that can occur when related assets and liabilities are recorded on different bases and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 159, if elected, on our results of operations and financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment to ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). Under the provisions of SFAS 160, a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, or minority interest, must be classified as equity, and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the minority interest must be clearly identified in the consolidated statement of operations. SFAS 160 also requires consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling interest retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning August 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our results of operations and financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for us beginning with our interim period ending January 31, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS 161 may have on our financial statements.

8. RECLASSIFICATIONS OF CERTAIN COSTS
During 2008, we re-categorized reporting of certain customer and technical service costs from cost of services to general and administrative expenses, as these costs have no direct relationship to generating revenue. As such, the following reclassifications have been made to the consolidated statements of operations for the three month period ended April 30, 2007 and the nine-month period ended April 30, 2007 (unaudited). Costs of services were reduced by $808,359 for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and reclassified to general and administrative expenses. Costs of services were reduced by $2,067,709 for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and reclassified to general and administrative expenses.
The table below summarizes the reclassifications:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended | | | | | | | | |
| | April 30, 2007 | | | | | | | Three months ended | |
| | Previously | | | Customer Service | | | April 30, 2007 | |

General and administrative | | | 1,780,780 | | | | 808,359 | | | | 2,589,139 | |

| | Reported | | | Reclassification | | | Reclassified | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost of services | | $ | 5,828,093 | | | $ | (2,067,709 | ) | | $ | 3,760,384 | |
General and administrative | | | 5,609,905 | | | | 2,067,709 | | | | 7,677,614 | |
9. INCOME TAXES
As of April 30, 2008, we released a portion of our valuation allowance in connection with our use of net operating loss carryforwards to offset estimated taxable income for the current fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. This release of valuation allowance resulted in a benefit of approximately $4.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2008. We do not anticipate releasing any additional reserve for our fiscal 2008 results.
We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against most of our deferred tax asset balance, primarily related to our net operating loss carryforward amounts of $64 million. We are in the process of conducting a review of approximately $20.2 million in additional loss carryforwards from the ESC acquisition and will evaluate the results of that study, analyze our profitability projections for future years and make appropriate revisions, if any, to the remaining valuation allowance. We expect to complete this review no later than the end of fiscal year 2008.
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) on August 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
11
The impact of adopting FIN 48 was not material to our financial position or results of operations. During the second fiscal quarter of the nine months ended April 30, 2008, we had a $563,000 release of our FIN 48 liability due to the settlement of audits in the United States ($63,000) and the expiration of the statute of limitations in a foreign jurisdiction ($500,000). We do not expect the remaining amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next twelve months.
We are not currently involved in any federal or state income tax examinations. We believe that there is no tax jurisdiction in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. We further believe that we have made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Series A and B Notes:
The Series A Notes and the Series B Notes issued pursuant to our acquisition of ESC are convertible into shares of our class A common stock at a conversion price of $3.036 per share at any time. The security agreement limits the Purchasers’ investment in our stock to 9.9% of the outstanding shares at any time, thus limiting the number of shares that can be converted at any one time.
Representations and Warranties:
As part of our standard license agreements, we have agreed to indemnify our customers against liability if our products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs related to performance under these indemnities. As of April 30, 2008, we are not subject to or aware of any potential significant litigation alleging that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of any third parties.
Letters of Credit:
We have provided cash collateral for certificates of deposit in the aggregate amount of $417,330 at April 30, 2008, which certificates of deposit serve as security deposits for certain lease agreements.
Legal Proceedings:
From time to time, the Company may be party to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these claims or any of the above mentioned legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Penalty for Failure to Register Shares:
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement (as amended to date), if we fail to have a registration statement declared effective by the SEC for the underlying class A common shares required for the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants within 120 days after notice is requested, we will be subject to a monthly penalty of 1% of the principal amount of the outstanding Series A Notes and the Series B Notes or the value of the registrable securities underlying the Warrants. The penalty continues to apply for each month of failure to register such shares. As of June 9, 2008, we have not received a request from the Purchasers regarding conversion and registration.
In addition, if our class A common shares are no longer listed or quoted or are suspended from trading for more than three consecutive days on an eligible market, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, a penalty equal to 1% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes would also be due. Under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” our management believes that the likelihood of these conditions taking place is remote.
12
New York State Sales Tax Assessment:
As a result of a New York state sales tax audit completed in 2005 of EasyLink Services International, Inc., a dissolved subsidiary of ESC, we were assessed approximately $448,000 in New York sales taxes, penalties and interest on revenue for the period of March 1, 2001 through May 31, 2004. A study prepared by an independent tax consultant concluded that our Email and EDI services were not subject to any New York sales tax. Fax and telex services that were intrastate rather than interstate would have been subject to tax in New York if deemed to be “telecommunications services.” Our fax and telex services provide enhanced services to customers as opposed to mere transport, thereby distinguishing those services from “telecommunications services.” As a consequence, we believe that none of our fax or telex services are “telecommunications services” or are intrastate in nature, and that none of these revenues should be subject to New York state sales or local taxes.
We have appealed the assessment to an administrative law judge. The administrative law judge heard oral arguments in a hearing that took place over two days in the second half of 2007. We filed a supplemental brief in support of our position and received a response from the State of New York in early March 2008. We replied on March 31, 2008. A ruling is expected during the second half of the calendar year. We have accrued $356,000 in respect of this assessment as of April 30, 2008.
11. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our two reportable segments are:
| • | | Supply Chain Messaging segment, which includes VAN services, browser-based and hosted applications, EDI outsourcing and services, mapping and professional services, and telex services; and |
|
| • | | On Demand Messaging segment, which includes the integrated desktop messaging services, other fax services, DCM services, and the workflow service obtained in the ESC acquisition. |
We changed our reportable segments for the 2008 fiscal year to better reflect our current business as a result of the ESC acquisition. The previous two segments, Electronic Commerce Solutions and Electronic Commerce Services, were combined into the new Supply Chain Messaging segment along with the EDI services and telex services acquired in the ESC acquisition. The On Demand Messaging segment was formed and consolidates the other ESC services described above. In reporting segment operating income, we allocate operating expenses that are directly related to the development and delivery of a reporting segment’s products and services.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Beginning in May, 2008, we began to repurchase stock in accordance with a stock buyback program resolution adopted recently by our Board of Directors. On May 1, 2008, York Capital Management, L.P. and the other Purchasers who are party to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 3, 2007 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) executed and delivered to the Company a Conditional Waiver and Consent to Repurchase of Common Shares, waiving the provisions of the Purchase Agreement that restricted the Company from repurchasing its own common stock to the extent that the Company’s repurchase does not exceed one million shares of the Company’s Series A common stock and that such repurchases are consummated on or before December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the resolutions adopted by our Board of Directors, all such repurchases must be made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
All statements, trend analyses and other information, other than statements of historical facts, contained in the following discussion related to our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this quarterly report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “continue” and “intend,” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors, including, without limitation, those described in Item 1A of Part II of this quarterly report under the heading “Risk Factors” and in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Although we believe our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this annual report as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, valuation of acquired intangibles and impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and valuation of investments to be critical policies due to the estimation process involved in each. Management discusses its estimates and judgments with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Beneficial Conversion Feature and Accretive Interest Expense – As per the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-5 as modified by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-27, the Company has recognized a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $15.5 million upon issuance of the Series A Notes and Series B Notes and assigned a separate fair market value as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model to the Warrants issued under the Purchase Agreement of approximately $7.0 million. The combined amounts for the beneficial conversion feature and the Warrants of approximately $22.5 million proportionately reduced the face value recorded for the Series A Notes and Series B Notes on the date of issuance with the offset going to additional paid-in-capital. The Company will accrete the $22.5 million through the profit and loss statement as interest expense using the interest rate method over the life of the Series A Notes and Series B Notes. Should any of the Series A Notes and Series B Notes be converted to common stock as per their terms, any proportional amount of the remaining unaccreted $22.5 million as of the date of conversion will be recognized as interest expense. The accretive interest recorded for the first nine months of the year equals approximately $6.2 million.
For a more detailed description on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. Reference is also made to the discussion of the application of these critical accounting policies and estimates contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007. During the three months ended April 30, 2008, there were no significant or material changes in the application of critical accounting policies that would require an update to the information provided in the Form 10-K for fiscal 2007.

Revenue – Total revenue for the nine month period ended April 30, 2008, was $68.2 million, an increase of $51.7 million as compared to the nine-month period ended April 30, 2007. This increase is due to the acquisition of ESC in August 2007.
The Supply Chain Messaging segment grew $19.7 million from the nine-month period ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the nine-month period ended April 30, 2008. This increase included $8.4 million from telex services and $11.3 million from EDI services acquired from ESC. The portion of the business that generated the $16.5 million in EDI services in the 2007 fiscal period decreased $600,000 during the 2008 fiscal period due to less demand for EDI professional and managed services. The Supply Chain Messaging segment comprises approximately 53% of our revenue during the 2008 nine-month period.
17
The On Demand Messaging segment is made up entirely of service lines acquired from ESC in August 2007. As a result, there is no comparability to the nine-month period ended April 30, 2007. The On Demand Messaging segment comprises approximately 47% of our revenue during the 2008 nine-month period.
Cost of Revenue – Total cost of revenue increased $16.0 million from the nine-month period ended April 30, 2007 compared to the nine-month period ended April 30, 2008. Again, this increase is due primarily to the acquisition of ESC during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Cost of revenue consists mainly of telecommunication costs, which include interconnect, data line and telephone costs and network operating costs, which includes salaries, benefits, depreciation, rent, utilities and other operating costs. For the period ended April 30, 2008, telecommunication costs increased $9.4 million from the period ended April 30, 2007 and network operating costs increased $6.3 million from the same period ended in 2007.
Product Development – Product development costs increased $4.1 million from the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased costs consisted mainly of a $3.2 million increase in labor and benefits; an increase of $303,000 in rent, utilities and other operating expenses and a $263,000 increase in consultant and professional services.
Selling and Marketing – Selling and marketing expenses increased $6.9 million from the nine months ended April 30, 2007 to the nine months ended April 30, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased costs consisted of $4.7 million in labor and benefits, $1.4 million in external commissions, $330,000 in outside marketing expenses $256,000 in travel expenses and $133,000 in rent, utilities and other operating expenses.
General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses increased $14.2 million from the nine months ended April 30, 2007 to the nine months ended April 30, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased costs consisted mainly of $4.9 million in labor and benefits costs, $2.7 million in rent, utilities and other operating expenses, $1.2 million in professional and legal fees, $375,000 in software and hardware expenses, $230,000 in bank fees and $169,000 in insurance expenses. In addition to the regular operating expenses mentioned above, there was $3.1 million in amortization on the intangibles acquired in the acquisition.
Other Expense – Other expenses for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2008 consist mainly of interest expense of $10.5 million and a loss recorded under the equity method of $930,000 from our 20.7% ownership of ESC common stock outstanding prior to the acquisition on August 20, 2007. These expenses were partially offset by approximately $600,000 of interest income and approximately $914,000 of foreign exchange gains during the nine months ended April 30, 2008. Interest expense consists of $6.2 million for the non-cash interest expense (see Note 5, Long Term Debt, to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and $4.3 million for interest on the outstanding debt.

Revenue – Total revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2008, was $23.6 million, an increase of $18.2 million as compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of ESC in August 2007.

The portion of the business that generated the $5.4 million in EDI services in the 2007 fiscal period decreased $300,000 during the 2008 fiscal period due to less demand for EDI professional and managed services. The Supply Chain Messaging segment comprises approximately 52% of our revenue during the 2008 three-month period.
The On Demand Messaging segment is made up entirely of service lines acquired from ESC in August 2007. As a result, there is no comparability to the three-month period ended April 30, 2007. The On Demand Messaging segment comprises approximately 48% of our revenue during the 2008 three-month period.
Cost of Revenue – Total cost of revenue increased $5.5 million from the three-month period ended April 30, 2007 compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2008 due primarily to the acquisition of ESC during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Cost of revenue consists mainly of telecommunication costs, which include interconnect, data line and telephone costs, and network operating costs, which includes salaries, benefits, depreciation, rent, utilities and other operating costs. For the period ended April 30, 2008, telecommunication costs increased $3.2 million from the period ended April 30, 2007 and network operating costs increased $2.2 million from the same period ended in 2007.
19
Product Development – Product development costs increased $1.5 million from the three-month period ended April 30, 2007 compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased costs consisted mainly of $1.2 million in labor and benefits costs, $106,000 in rent, utilities and other operating expenses, and $75,000 in consultant and professional services costs.
Selling and Marketing – Selling and marketing expenses increased $2.5 million from the three month period ended April 30, 2007 to the three month period ended April 30, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased costs consisted mainly of $1.6 million in labor and benefits costs, $456,000 in external commissions, $111,000 in travel expenses and $57,000 in rents, utilities and other operating expenses.
General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses increased $4.8 million from the three month period ended April 30, 2007 to the three month period ended April 30, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased cost consisted mainly of $1.8 million in labor and benefits costs, $919,000 in rent, utilities and other operating expenses, $416,000 in professional and legal fees, $144,000 in software and hardware expenses, and $64,000 in bank fees. In addition to the regular operating expenses mentioned above, there was $1.1 million in amortization on the intangibles acquired in the acquisition.
Other Expense – Other expenses for the three-month period ended April 30, 2008 consists mainly of interest expense of $2.3 million, including $1.1 million in non-cash interest and $1.2 million in interest on the outstanding debt. Interest expense is also partially offset by $163,000 of interest income and approximately $128,000 of foreign exchange gains.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents and increased approximately $21.7 million for a total of approximately $27.2 million as of April 30, 2008 from approximately $5.4 million as of April 30, 2007. This increase in cash was primarily generated by $59.8 million in borrowings under the Series A Notes and Series B Notes issued in connection with the ESC acquisition. $51.6 million of this cash was used along with the $13.2 million of ESC common stock previously acquired to purchase ESC. We also added $4.5 million in cash from the sale of our RapidFax assets. In addition to the cash flow from the financing and investing activities, we generated $5.7 million of cash from operations. We believe these resources will provide us with sufficient liquidity to continue in operation for at least the next four fiscal quarters.
We have net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $64 million as of April 30, 2008. These NOL carryforwards expire from 2011 to 2025. The Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations contain provisions which limit the use of available NOL carryforwards in any given year should significant changes (greater than 50%) in ownership interests occur. Our annual NOL carryforward limitations prior to the acquisition of ESC were $5.4 million. We are in the process of evaluating the possible limitations of the ESC NOL carryforwards because of the ownership change and have fully reserved the $20.2 million of the ESC NOL carryforward as of April 30, 2008. Due to the NOL carryforwards, we do not expect to make material cash outlays for US federal and state taxes during the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
We enter into many contractual and commercial undertakings during the ordinary course of business. The following table summarizes information about certain of our obligations at April 30, 2008.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We believe that we are primarily exposed to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. Changes in interest rates may affect the value of these investments.
The Series A Notes and the Series B Notes issued in conjunction with the acquisition of ESC have interest rates that are tied to the prime rate. The interest rate on the Notes is also adjusted downward based on the ratio of current market price for our stock verses the conversion price if a certain volume weighted average price of our stock is maintained. These interest rate provisions expose us to interest rate risk.
With the acquisition of ESC, the portion of our revenue from foreign sources and the portion of our expenses denominated in foreign currencies are expected to increase, which may subject us to currency exchange risk.
We may invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments. If invested, we account for our investment instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). All of the cash equivalents and investments are treated as available-for-sale under SFAS 115. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may vary widely due to changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. For the quarter ended April 30, 2008, our cash investments consisted entirely of overnight cash sweep accounts invested in a fund composed primarily of triple A rated commercial paper and government agency bonds. As of April 30, 2008, the interest rate for these investments ranged from 2.43% to 3.15%.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2008, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date our disclosure controls and procedures in place were effective to ensure material information and other information requiring disclosure is identified and communicated on a timely basis. There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be party to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these claims or any of the legal matters mentioned elsewhere in this Quarterly Report will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following Risk Factor disclosure updates the risk factors as disclosed in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC.
Our business could be adversely affected by unfavorable general economic and business conditions. Most of our customers are businesses that use our services for business purposes. If the general economic or business climate should become unfavorable, those factors might cause fewer new customers to purchase our services, might cause existing customers to use our services less frequently and might cause some customers to cease using our services. Any such outcomes could negatively affect our ability to generate revenue.
21
We may not be profitable in the future.We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1991, and, as of April 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $71.8 million. As per the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-5 as modified by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-27, we recorded a beneficial conversion feature amounting to $15.5 million upon the issuance of the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes discussed earlier and assigned a separate fair market value as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing method to the Warrants issued under the Purchase Agreement related to the Notes amounting to $7.0 million. These amounts, totaling $22.5 million, were recorded by proportionately reducing the face value of the Series A Notes and Series B Notes on the date of issuance with the offset to additional paid-in capital. We will accrete the $22.5 million through the profit and loss statement as interest expense using the interest rate method over the life of the Notes. This accretion will have a negative effect on our earnings.
