Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this annual report regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are 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 starting on page10 of this annual report under the heading “Risk Factors” and in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct.

Item 1. Business

Overview

EasyLink Services International Corporation is a Delaware corporation founded in 1991. We are a global provider of value added services that facilitate the electronic exchange of documents and information between enterprises, their trading communities and their customers. We deliver our services through a global Internet Protocol (“IP”) network, which hosts our applications on enterprise-class platforms that are comprised of server and network operations centers located worldwide.

Our core services include electronic data interchange (“EDI”) services, fax services, telex services and other services that are integral to the movement of money, materials, products and people in the global economy including documents such as insurance claims, trade and travel confirmations, purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices and funds transfers that help our customers to be more efficient and mobile. Our operations include two business segments defined as follows:

• Supply Chain Messaging Segment (“Supply Chain”) segment, which includes all our EDI and telex services. This segment was 100%, 100% and 53% of reported revenue for the years ending July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

• On Demand Messaging Segment (“On Demand”) segment, which includes all fax, e-mail, document capture and management (“DCM”) and workflow services. This segment was 0%, 0% and 47% of reported revenue for the years ending July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Prior to our merger with EasyLink Services Corporation (“ESC”) in August of 2007, we were known as Internet Commerce Corporation (“ICC”) and had reported two different business segments solely related to our EDI service offerings through our fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, both of which are now reported in the Supply Chain Segment.

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.

Recent Acquisitions

EasyLink Services Corporation.On August 20, 2007, we completed our acquisition by merger of ESC. 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 global marketplace.

This acquisition process began on May 3, 2007, when we 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 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 with interest 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 with interest 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 also had the option to prepay $15 million of the Series B Notes from the proceeds of certain types of asset sales, which prepayment would have been subject to a 12.5% prepayment penalty.

Prior to December 19, 2007, 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, 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.

We made offers of partial prepayment in connection with Excess Cash Flow for the first three fiscal quarters of 2008 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.

2

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 prior to the date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Series A and Series B Notes is less than $20,000,000.

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 the Registrable Securities 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.

(“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.

No gain or loss was recognized from this sale.

Industry Background

Enterprise transaction and information management solutions range from mail and fax based approaches to Internet-based point-to-point communication systems. Our customers typically use a number of these transaction management solutions. The solution that is appropriate in each case depends on the size, nature and needs of the individual customer. Non-electronic means, such as mail and courier services, are appropriate for some document exchanges, whereas electronic solutions including fax, e-mail exchange, point-to-point, EDI and web-based marketplaces, may be more suited to different operating environments. We believe the business-to-business exchange of documents and information will continue to evolve towards multiple electronic means and away from paper-based formats.

Company Background

EasyLink Services International Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1991 under the name Infosafe Systems, Inc. (“Infosafe”). Infosafe completed an initial public offering on January 25, 1995. On April 16, 1997, Infosafe entered into an agreement to create and fund a newly incorporated majority owned subsidiary, Internet Commerce Corporation. On June 19, 1998, Infosafe entered into an agreement of merger that merged the Internet Commerce Corporation subsidiary into Infosafe, with Infosafe remaining as the surviving corporation. On July 2, 1998, Infosafe changed its name to Internet Commerce Corporation. On June 22, 2004, ICC acquired Electronic Commerce Systems, Inc. (“ECS”) expanding our managed EDI services to small and medium sized businesses. On March 17, 2005, ICC acquired the Managed ECÔ (“MEC”) division of QRS Corporation continuing the expansion of our EDI managed services business. On November 1, 2005, ICC acquired The Kodiak Group, Inc. (“Kodiak”) adding additional EDI service offerings. On May 9, 2006, ICC acquired Enable Corp. (“Enable”) adding web based EDI capabilities to our service offerings.

On August 20, 2007, ICC acquired ESC as a wholly-owned subsidiary. In conjunction with the acquisition, ICC changed its name to EasyLink Services International Corporation. ESC was originally incorporated as GlobeComm, Inc. in 1994 and had been publicly-traded since its initial public offering in June 1999. ESC previously did business under the name Mail.com and had developed or acquired a number of business messaging platforms. Mail.com changed its name to EasyLink Services Corporation in 2001 after its acquisition of ATT’s EasyLink Services division.

Product Development

Our product development efforts are focused on adding enhanced and new functionality to existing products, integrating the various product offerings into our services delivery, supporting new and advanced technologies, developing new services and internal operating platforms. Our success will depend in part upon our ability to adopt technology and industry trends, respond to customer requirements and market opportunities and incorporate emerging standards into our existing and new services. To that end, our development efforts center on requirements and features that have been identified through market research, customer interactions, standards announcements and competitive analysis. As a result, we intend to continue to offer products and services with increasing functionality and scalability to meet the needs of customers regardless of size and technical sophistication. Most of our development projects are performed internally. However, some projects require specialized skills that are acquired through an outsourced arrangement with various contractors.

Our research and development expenses for the years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $7,811,000, $2,268,000 and $613,000, respectively.

Our sales force has traditionally consisted of regional sales managers, inside sales representatives, technical sales representatives and sales support. We seek to continue to make arrangements with agents, resellers and other solution providers, to sell to companies around the world and expand our reach into markets that we do not service directly. We have dedicated a part of our sales resources to expand these indirect channels. We believe that our service offerings enable a wide variety of companies to recommend, market, and sell our services.

As of July 31, 2008, we provided services to approximately 15,000 customers in professional services, financial services, manufacturing, mining, retail, distribution, freight services, insurance, telecommunications and other industries. Our customers range in size from the Fortune 500 to sole proprietorships. The majority of our customers may generally terminate our services with 30 days notice without penalty, unless their agreement contains a minimum revenue commitment that would require payment by the customer of any unused shortfall amount upon termination. We are continuing our efforts to enter into annual or multi-year contracts with minimum commitments. For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue.

For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, approximately 28%, 2% and 1%, respectively, of our revenues were generated from international customers. The bulk of our international revenues come from the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Brazil and South Korea. Nine percent of our long-lived assets are held in foreign territories, principally the United Kingdom.

Seasonality and Backlog

Our revenues are impacted by the number of effective business days in a given period. We have no material backlog in sales orders or the provisioning of customer orders.

Competition

While we are unaware of any single competitor that provides all of the services we deliver, we compete with a range of companies in each of our two business segments, as well as with the internally developed solutions of companies who choose to insource these needs. The markets for each of our two segments are highly competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to changing technology, shifting customer needs and introductions of new products and services. We face a significant number of competitors, ranging from very large enterprises or divisions of very large companies to a number of relatively small organizations. Our Supply Chain solutions compete with large e-commerce business-to-business and EDI vendors with a broad array of VAN, software and service offerings, including GXS, Sterling Commerce and Inovis and multiple smaller EDI companies with a core competence in a particular industry or technology, “mom-and-pop” service centers or privately owned VANs. Our integrated desktop messaging and production messaging solutions compete primarily against traditional fax machine manufacturers, which are generally large and well established companies, providers of fax servers and related software, such as Captaris, Inc., as well as publicly traded and privately-held application service providers, such as Premiere Global Services, Inc. (formerly PTEK Holdings Inc.), j2 Global Communications, Inc. and Protus IP Solutions. Our telex solutions compete against Swiss Telex, Network Telex, Graphnet, Wirefast and various designated international providers of postal, telephone and telegraph (“PTT”) services.

These competitors are diverse in terms of their histories, business models, corporate strategies, financial strength, name recognition, company reputation, customer base and breadth of offerings. Our large competitors generally have more history, significantly greater financial resources, larger customer bases and more easily recognized names than we do.

We also rely on many of our competitors to interconnect with our EDI VAN services. These interconnection arrangements allow trading partners using different VANs to connect with one another for trading purposes. We currently have interconnect agreements with all major VANs.

Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Technology

We have several technology platforms through which we provide our various services to customers. Each of those platforms was developed by our company or by companies we have acquired. To the extent we have intellectual property rights in those technology platforms, those intellectual property rights generally consist of copyrights and trade secrets. We do not have any patents that would prevent competitors from deploying technology platforms identical to ours. We take steps to ensure the ongoing confidentiality of our trade secrets and to search for additional ways to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology platforms. There can be no assurance, however, that our existing intellectual property rights will afford us adequate protection or that competitors will not develop or market competing products using technologies similar to, or better than, our own.

We have trademark rights to the name EasyLink as well as other marks and logos both in the United States and in other countries. We review our marketing and advertising efforts from time to time to ensure we take advantage of opportunities to create new or more valuable trademark rights.

In the past we held a number of patents relating to fax and other technologies. On June 12, 2006, we sold four outstanding patents and related patent applications relating to information security technology to Harmony Logic Systems LLC (“Harmony”). These patents were not being used in our services offerings and were considered immaterial to our business operations. Harmony paid us $825,000 in cash in consideration for the assignment of these patents and granted us a royalty-free, irrevocable worldwide license for the patents. In addition, we may receive a royalty of 10% of the net consideration from the licensing of the patents, if any. We have not received any royalty payments as a result of the sale of the patents. We retain some remaining patents and pending patent applications, although we do not believe they are material to our business at this time.

Although we believe that our technology does not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, it is possible that others may have or be granted patents claiming products or processes that are necessary for or useful to the delivery of our services. From time to time we are approached by parties claiming to own patents that they claim are infringed by our services or operations. We evaluate such claims when they arise to determine whether those claims are valid and whether it would be more effective to obtain a license or dispute that any infringement is occurring. We have at times in the past obtained licenses from parties claiming to hold patents that they contended were infringed by our services or operations, including a perpetual, fully-paid license from AudioFAX IP, L.L.P. as to certain patents owned by it. See Item 3, Legal Proceedings.

Suppliers

We purchase telecommunications services pursuant to supply agreements with telecommunications service providers. Some of our agreements with telecommunications service providers contain commitments that require us to purchase a minimum amount of services through 2011. These costs were approximately $2,630,000 in fiscal year 2008. Prior to the acquisition of ESC, we did not have any material minimum commitments with telecom suppliers.

Government Regulation

In general, we operate as an unregulated provider of our various messaging services. We believe that our services are not subject to regulation in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) or the by state-level public service commissions with respect to the manner in which we provide service or the prices we charge. We do not file tariffs setting forth our prices or business practices with the FCC, at the state level in the U.S. or in any other country.

We are, however, subject to regulations imposed by the FCC that relate to telecommunications as well as international telecommunications regulatory authorities, and we may be affected by regulatory decisions, trends or policies issued or implemented by federal, state, local and international authorities. We are also subject to regulatory requirements applicable to businesses generally in the United States and in the other countries where we do business.

In countries other than the United States we are sometimes required by national laws to obtain licenses or to pay license fees or similar amounts to national regulatory bodies. Such amounts are reflected in our financial statements and such non-U.S. regulatory matters are not material to our operations or business plans.

Telecommunications technologies and the laws that regulate businesses in the telecommunications industry are constantly changing and there can be no assurance that the FCC or another regulatory body may not try to extend its jurisdiction over all or a part of our business.

Employees

As of July 31, 2008, we had 359 employees. Of these employees, 289 were located in the United States and 70 were located in the United Kingdom and other international locations. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Web Availability of Reports

Our corporate information Website iswww.easylink.com. The information on our Website is not part of this annual report on Form 10-K. However, on the Investor Information portion of this Website the public can access free of charge our annual, quarterly and current financial reports filed with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing dates. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (EDGAR) that contains other ownership reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding our filings athttp://www.sec.gov.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this annual report in evaluating our business or an investment in shares of our class A common stock. While these are the risks and uncertainties that we believe are the most important for you to consider, you should know that they are not the only risks or uncertainties facing us or that may adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition and operating results would likely suffer. In that event, the market price of our class A common stock could decline.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Weakness in the financial markets and in the general economy has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect certain segments of our customers. These general economic conditions may result in a decrease in the number of new customers we are able to attract and may negatively affect the usage levels of our services as well as customer retention.

Most of our customers are businesses that use our services for business purposes. To the extent that our customers’ businesses have been adversely affected by the current uncertainties in the credit markets and weakness in the mortgage market, retail industry and general economy, 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.

10

Acquisitions are central to our growth plan, if we cannot find, finance and integrate accretive acquisitions, our financial results will suffer.

Our ability to implement our business plan depends on identifying appropriate acquisitions, negotiating accretive financial terms, obtaining additional financing at affordable costs, if required, and successfully integrating the acquired businesses. If our acquisition efforts are not successful, our business and financial results will suffer. If we are successful in our acquisition efforts, we expect that we will need to continue to manage and to expand multiple relationships with customers, Internet service providers and other third parties. We also expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial systems, procedures and controls and will need to expand, train and manage our workforce, particularly our information technology and sales and marketing staffs.

ESIC has reported substantial losses in the recent past and we may not be profitable in the future.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1991, and, as of July 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $63.7 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 later in this section) 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 non-cash effect on our earnings.

We may not be successful in competing against our competitors.

We face a significant number of competitors, ranging from very large enterprises or divisions of very large companies to a number of relatively small organizations. These competitors are diverse in terms of their histories, business models, corporate strategies, financial strength, name recognition, company reputation, customer base and breadth of offerings. Many of our large competitors have more history, significantly greater financial resources, larger customer bases and more easily recognized names than we do. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to changing technology and changes in customer requirements or be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and make more attractive offers to potential customers and employees, or be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their services than we can. New competition is emerging in the form of web services networks, collaborative applications, application service providers, e-marketplaces and integration broker suites. There can be no assurance that our product and service offerings will compete effectively and generate any significant revenues.

We must continue to develop new products and services.

If we do not keep pace with rapid technological changes, customer demands and intense competition, we will not be successful. Our market is characterized by changing technology, customer demands and intense competition. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure, customer support and document delivery systems and our web site are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract customers and maintain adequate customer service levels. If we cannot keep pace with these changes and maintain the performance and reliability of our network and customer service levels, our business will suffer. The Internet’s recent growth and the intense competition in our industry require us to continually develop strategic business and Internet solutions that enhance and improve the customer service features, functions and responsiveness of all of our existing or proposed services and that keep pace with competitive changes in information technology and customer requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to keep pace with these changes, and if we are not successful in developing and marketing enhancements to all of our services or meeting customer demands, our business may suffer.

11

Outsourcing of our services may not prove to be a viable business.

An important part of our business strategy is to leverage our existing global customer base and global network by continuing to provide our existing services and by offering these customers additional services in the future. Our success will depend on the development of viable markets for the outsourcing of all of our services, which is somewhat speculative. Outsourcing is one of the principal methods by which we will attempt to reach the size we believe is necessary to be successful. Security and the reliability of service, however, are likely to be of concern to enterprises and service providers deciding whether to outsource these services or to continue to provide them themselves. These concerns are likely to be particularly strong at larger businesses and service providers, which are better able to afford the costs of maintaining their own systems. While we intend to focus on outsourcing our services, we cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain or expand our business customer base. In addition, the sales cycle for many of these services is lengthy and could delay our ability to generate revenues.

We have significant debt obligations, and we may be unable to meet the associated debt covenants over time.

In connection with our sale of the Series A Notes, Series B Notes, Warrants and Additional Investment Rights to the York Entities, we incurred $70,105,416 in additional indebtedness. As of July 31, 2008, the ratio of our long-term debt to total capitalization is 78%. As a result of this leverage, our principal and interest obligations have increased substantially. The degree to which we are leveraged could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes and could make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures. Our increased leverage could also adversely affect our liquidity, as a substantial portion of available cash from operations may have to be applied to meet debt service requirements and, in the event of a cash shortfall, we could be forced to reduce other expenditures and forego potential acquisitions to be able to meet such requirements.

Under the York 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, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense. The York 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. We may not be able to continuously satisfy these requirements in the future. If we fail to satisfy any of these requirements, the York Entities could call their loans immediately. In the event we fail to repay these obligations upon demand, the York Entities may file legal actions against us and foreclose on our assets, which may significantly disrupt, or even cause us to cease, our business.

If we lose our net operating loss carryforward, our financial results will suffer.

As of July 31, 2008, our net operating loss carryforward was approximately $84.1 million. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code contains rules that are designed to discourage persons from buying and selling the net operating losses of companies. These rules generally operate by focusing on ownership changes among stockholders owning directly or indirectly 5% or more of the common stock of a company or any change in ownership arising from a new issuance of stock by a company. In general, the rules limit the ability of a company to utilize net operating losses after a change of ownership of more than 50% of its common stock over a three-year period. Purchases of our class A common stock in amounts greater than specified levels could create a limitation on our ability to utilize our net operating losses for tax purposes in the future. We are currently subject to a limitation on the utilization of a portion of our net operating loss carryforward. The potential conversion of the notes issued in connection with our acquisition of ESC into shares of our class A common stock may result in severe limitations on our use of our existing net operating loss carryforward.

Our financial performance could cause future write-downs of goodwill or other intangible assets in future periods.

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS No. 142) effective August 1, 2001. With the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized; however, we are required to perform an annual impairment review which could result in impairment write-downs to goodwill and/or other intangible assets. As of July 31, 2008, we had $40.2 million of goodwill and $27.7 million of other intangible assets on our balance sheet.

12

If we are unable to maintain or replace our existing VAN interconnect arrangements, our results of operations will suffer.

We rely on many of our competitors to interconnect with our service to promote an “open community” so all businesses can take advantage of the efficiencies of EDI, no matter what network they choose as their provider. Although we have interconnect agreements with the major VAN providers, there can be no assurances that these agreements will not be terminated or will continue with acceptable terms. If terminated, we would have to find an acceptable alternative. If available, such an alternative could add significant operating costs to our business.

We rely on third parties to provide our services, and any failure of such third parties could adversely affect our business.

Failure of our third-party providers to provide adequate Internet, telecommunications and power services could result in significant losses of revenue. Our operations depend upon third parties for Internet access and telecommunications service. Frequent or prolonged interruptions of these services could result in significant losses of revenues. We have experienced outages in the past and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our internal activities in the future. These types of occurrences could also cause users to perceive our services as not functioning properly and therefore cause them to use other methods to deliver and receive information. We have limited control over these third parties and cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain satisfactory relationships with any of them on acceptable commercial terms or that the quality of services that they provide will remain at the levels needed to enable us to conduct our business effectively.

We are dependent on licensed technology and third party commercial partners.

We license a significant amount of technology from third parties, including technology related to our Internet fax services, billing processes and databases. We also rely on third party commercial partners to provide services for our trading community enablement services, document capture and management services and some of our other services. We anticipate that we will need to license additional technology or to enter into additional commercial relationships to remain competitive. We may not be able to license these technologies or to enter into arrangements with prospective commercial partners on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Third-party licenses and strategic commercial relationships expose us to increased risks, including risks relating to the integration of new technology, the diversion of resources from the development of our own proprietary technology, a greater need to generate revenues sufficient to offset associated license or service fee costs, and the possible termination of or failure to renew an important license or other agreement by the third-party licensor or commercial partner.

We may need to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms to continue to compete successfully.

If we are unable to obtain necessary future capital, our business will suffer. We may need to raise additional funds if competitive pressures or technological changes are greater than anticipated, if we are unable to increase revenue at anticipated rates, if our expenses increase significantly, if our customers delay payment of our receivables, or if we identify a suitable acquisition candidate that requires a cash outlay in order to complete the transaction. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available on reasonable terms or at all. Raising additional funds in the future by issuing securities could adversely affect our stockholders and negatively impact our operating results. The acquisition of ESC was financed through the issuance of debt securities, and the holders of the debt securities have a claim to our assets that will have priority over any claim of our stockholders. The interest on these debt securities will increase our costs and negatively impact our operating results. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of class A common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for class A common stock, the percentage ownership of our then-existing stockholders will decrease, and they may experience additional dilution. In addition, any convertible or exchangeable securities may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable to the holders than those of the class A common stock.

We may need to upgrade some of our computer systems to accommodate increases in traffic and to accommodate increases in the usage of our services, but we may not be able to do so while maintaining our current level of service, or at all.

We must continue to expand and adapt our computer systems as the number of customers and the amount of information they wish to transmit increases and as their requirements change and as we further develop our services. We may also decide to consolidate many of our data centers into a single location. If we cannot provide the necessary service while maintaining expected performance and possibly consolidating our data centers, our business would suffer and our ability to generate revenues through our services would be impaired.

13

Our computer systems may fail and interrupt our service.

Our customers have in the past experienced interruptions in our services due to hardware failures and other computer system failures. These failures have resulted and may continue to result in significant disruptions to our service. Some of our operations have redundant switch-over capability. Although we have installed backup computers and implement procedures on other parts of our operations to reduce the impact of future malfunctions in these systems, the potential presence of single points of failure in our network increases the risk of service interruptions. Our computer and communications hardware is vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, earthquake and similar events wherever they are located. Our services would be suspended for a significant period of time if any of our primary data centers was severely damaged or destroyed. We might also lose customer transaction documents and other customer files, causing significant customer dissatisfaction and possibly giving rise to claims for monetary damages.

If we cannot successfully continue to expand our business outside of the United States, our revenues and operating results will be adversely affected.

Our current and future customers are conducting their businesses internationally. As a result, one component of our business strategy is to expand our international marketing and sales efforts, and if we do not successfully continue to expand our business in this way, we may lose current and future customers.

Our international operations are subject to additional risks, and our operating results may suffer if these risks are not properly managed.

We operate in international markets and may not be able to compete effectively in these markets. We face significant risks inherent in conducting business internationally, such as:

• uncertain demand in foreign markets for our services;

• difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;

• differing technology standards;

• difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;

• economic instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates and imposition of currency exchange controls;

• potentially adverse tax consequences;

• regulatory limitations on the activities in which we can engage and foreign ownership limitations on our ability to hold an interest in entities through which we wish to conduct business;

• political instability, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, and reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;

• export restrictions;

• terrorism; and

• difficulties in enforcing contracts and potentially adverse consequences.

If we cannot hire and retain highly qualified employees, our business and financial results will suffer.

We are substantially dependent on the continued services and performance of our executive officers and other key employees. If we are unable to attract, assimilate and retain highly qualified employees, our management may not be able to effectively manage our business, exploit opportunities and respond to competitive challenges, and our business and financial results will suffer. Many of our competitors may be able to offer more lucrative compensation packages and higher-profile employment opportunities than we can.

14

We depend on our intellectual property, which may be difficult and costly to protect.

If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, competitors could offer similar products relying on technologies we developed, potentially harming our competitive position and decreasing our revenues. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights by limiting access to the distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information and by relying on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws. In addition, we enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and certain customers, vendors and strategic partners. In some circumstances, however, we may, if required by a business relationship, provide our licensees with access to our data model and other proprietary information underlying our licensed applications. Despite the precautions we take, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy aspects of our current or future products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of software is difficult, and some foreign laws do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as United States laws. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, any of which could be costly and could adversely affect our operating results.

Intellectual property infringement claims against us could harm our business.

Our business activities and our service offerings may infringe upon the proprietary rights of others and other parties may assert infringement claims against us. Any such claims and any resulting litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages and could invalidate our proprietary rights. We could be required to enter into royalty and licensing agreements, which may be costly or otherwise burdensome or which may not be available on terms acceptable to us.

We must comply with costly reporting requirements.

Under current SEC regulations pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX), we are required to prepare a report regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Because we are a non-accelerated filer, current SEC rules relieve us of the obligation to have management’s report on internal controls attested by our registered public accounting firm for this annual report. If our status changes, or if the SEC modifies the rules that relieve us of this obligation, however, we may be required to have management’s report on internal controls attested by our registered public accounting firm for the annual report we expect to file for our fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. If we were required to do so, our expenses associated with complying with this requirement would increase. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, our costs of complying with SOX were approximately $465,000 and are expected to be approximately $375,000 in fiscal year 2009. We cannot give any assurance that we will be fully compliant when, or if, we are required to provide an attestation from our registered public accounting firm or that our compliance costs will not exceed our expectations.

We may be subject to assessment of income, state sales or other taxes for which we may not have accrued.

We have reserves for certain international, federal, state and local income and sales taxes, and we believe that we have accrued appropriately for these taxes. With our history of acquisitions, it is possible that liabilities may arise for the combined company that were not previously in place, or liabilities may exist of which we are not presently aware. In addition, tax jurisdictions may disagree with our methods of interpreting, assessing and remitting various taxes. In the event that actual results differ from our reserves, we may need to record additional expense that could have a material effect on our reported earnings.

We may have to use significant resources indemnifying our officers and directors or paying for damages caused by their conduct.

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides for broad indemnification by corporations of their officers and directors and permits a corporation to exculpate its directors from liability for their actions. Our bylaws and certificate of incorporation implement this indemnification and exculpation to the fullest extent permitted under this law as it currently exists or as it may be amended in the future. Consequently, subject to this law and to some limited exceptions in our certificate of incorporation, none of our directors will be liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages resulting from conduct as a director.

Risks Relating to our Industry and the Internet and Online Commerce Aspects of Our Business

Government regulation and legal uncertainties relating to the Internet could harm our business.

Changes in the regulatory environment in the United States and other countries could decrease our revenues and increase our costs. The Internet is largely unregulated and the laws governing the Internet remain unsettled, even in areas where there has been some legislative action. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy and taxation apply to the Internet. In addition, because of increasing popularity and use of the Internet, any number of laws and regulations may be adopted in the United States and other countries relating to the Internet or other online services covering issues such as user privacy, security, pricing and taxation, content and distribution. The cost of transmitting documents and data over the Internet could increase. We may not be able to increase our prices to cover these rising costs. Also, foreign and state laws and regulations relating to the provision of services over the Internet are still developing. If individual states or foreign countries impose taxes or laws that negatively impact services provided over the Internet, our cost of providing our services may increase.

We believe that our services are “information services” under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and existing precedent and, therefore, would not currently be subject to traditional U.S. telecommunication services regulation. However, while the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) historically has refrained from extensive regulation of entities that provide service using the Internet or IP, it has recently begun to impose at least some regulatory paradigms on these services as they increasingly are used as substitutes for traditional communications services. For example, the FCC already has required certain providers of voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) telephony to provide enhanced 911 capability to their customers and to accommodate requests by law enforcement to permit electronic surveillance. These requirements are likely to create additional costs. In addition, the FCC is currently considering whether to impose certain obligations on providers of Internet-based and IP-based services generally. These potential rules could include requirements to ensure access for disabled persons, contribute to universal service funds, and pay for using the public telephone network. Any of these requirements, if applicable to a given service, could increase the cost of providing that service. The FCC is also examining whether and how to differentiate among Internet-based and IP-based services to determine which services should be subject to particular regulatory obligations. It cannot be predicted whether these rules will be adopted and, if so, whether they would be applied to our non-voice services.

Moreover, although the FCC has indicated that it views certain Internet-based services as being interstate and, thus, subject to the protection of federal laws that warrant preemption of state efforts to impose traditional common carrier regulation on these services, the FCC’s efforts are currently under legal challenge, and we cannot predict the outcome of state efforts to regulate such services or the scope of federal policy to preempt these efforts.

Apart from these issues, federal and state regulations could change in a manner that increases the contributions required by telecommunications carriers, which would in turn increase our costs in purchasing these telecommunications services. Because providers are authorized to pass their contribution costs on to their customers, our costs for telecommunications services that we purchase reflect these amounts. The contributions are currently calculated as a percentage of telecommunications services revenues. Alternative contribution methodologies, such as the imposition of a fee per telephone line, and other changes have been proposed that could increase these amounts and, thus, our costs in purchasing such telecommunications services. If adopted, these changes may in turn require us to raise the price of one or more of our services to our customers. No assurance can be given that we will be able to recover all or part of any increase in costs that may result from these changes if adopted by the FCC or that such changes will not otherwise adversely affect the demand for our services.

Privacy concerns may prevent customers from using our services.

Concerns about the security of online transactions, the security of data bases and the privacy of users may inhibit the growth of the Internet as a means of delivering business documents and data. We may need to incur significant expenses to protect against the threat of security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches. We rely upon encryption and authentication technology to provide secure transmission of confidential information and various firewall systems to protect our data bases and computer systems. If our security measures do not prevent security breaches, we could suffer operating losses, damage to our reputation, litigation and possible liability. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments that render current encryption technology outdated may result in a breach of our encryption and authentication technology and firewalls and could enable an outside party to steal proprietary information or interrupt our operations.

We and our customers are subject to laws and regulations protecting personal and other confidential information in connection with the exchange of such information by these customers using our services. At present, in the United States, interactive Internet-based service providers have substantial legal protection for the transmission of third-party content that is infringing, defamatory, pornographic or otherwise illegal. We cannot guarantee that a U.S. court would not conclude that we do not qualify for these protections as an interactive service provider. We do not and cannot screen all of the content generated and received by users of our services or the recipients of messages delivered through our services. Some foreign governments, such as France and Germany, have enforced content-related laws and regulations against Internet service providers.

16

Domestic and foreign regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In connection with the deployment of Internet-capable nodes in countries throughout the world, we are required to satisfy a variety of foreign regulatory requirements. We intend to explore and seek to comply with these requirements on a country-by-country basis as the deployment of Internet-capable fax nodes continues. There can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy the regulatory requirements in each of these countries, and the failure to satisfy these requirements may prevent us from installing Internet-capable fax nodes in these countries or require us to limit the functionality of these nodes. The failure to deploy a number of such nodes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our fax nodes and telex switches utilize encryption technology. The export of this encryption technology is regulated by the United States government. We have authority for the export of this encryption technology except to countries such as Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria and Sudan. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that this authority will not be revoked or modified at any time for any particular jurisdiction or in general. In addition, there can be no assurance that these export controls, either in their current form or as may be subsequently enacted, will not limit our ability to distribute our services outside of the United States or electronically. While we take precautions against unlawful exportation of our software, the global nature of the Internet makes it virtually impossible to effectively control the distribution of our services. Moreover, future Federal or state legislation or regulation may further limit levels of encryption or authentication technology. Any of these export restrictions, the unlawful exportation of our services or new legislation or regulation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The legal structure and scope of operations of our subsidiaries in some foreign countries may be subject to restrictions that could severely limit our ability to conduct business in these countries. To the extent that we develop or offer messaging or other services in foreign countries, we will be subject to the laws and regulations of those countries. The laws and regulations relating to the Internet and telecommunications services in many countries are evolving and in many cases are more burdensome than U.S. law and/or unclear as to their application. For example, in India, the Peoples Republic of China, and other countries, we may be subject to licensing requirements with respect to the activities in which we propose to engage, and we may also be subject to foreign ownership limitations or other approval requirements that preclude our ownership interests or limit our ownership interests to up to specified percentages of the entities through which we propose to conduct any regulated activities. If these limitations apply to our activities (including activities conducted through our subsidiaries), our opportunities to generate revenue will be reduced, our ability to compete successfully in these markets will be adversely affected, our ability to raise capital in the private and public markets may be adversely affected, and the value of our investments and acquisitions in these markets may decline. Moreover, to the extent we are limited in our ability to engage in certain activities or are required to contract for these services from a licensed or authorized third party, our costs of providing our services will increase and our ability to generate profits may be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Our Class A Common Stock

The market price of our class A common stock is likely to be highly volatile.

During the 2008 fiscal year, the market price of our class A common stock has been volatile, ranging from a low of $2.40 to a high of $4.28, and will likely fluctuate substantially in the future. The market price of our class A common stock may fluctuate in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, changes in our financial condition, and any acquisitions, dispositions and other corporate developments we undertake or experience. In addition, the securities markets and, in particular the technology stock market sector, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations recently that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our class A common stock.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect our stock price.

In addition to our currently registered shares of class A common stock, with our sale of the Series A Notes, Series B Notes, Warrants and Additional Investment Rights to the York Entities, we may be required to register for resale under the Securities Act of an additional 30,541,631 shares of our class A common stock issuable to the York Entities upon conversion or exercise of the securities acquired by these entities pursuant to the York Purchase Agreement. The market price of our class A common stock and our ability to raise additional capital in the future through the sale of equity securities could be materially and adversely affected by sales of these shares or the perception that these sales could occur.

17

If there is not a significant demand for our class A common stock, it may make it difficult for investors to sell.

The market for our class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market may be illiquid, which would restrict the ability to sell shares of class A common stock and could result in increased volatility in the trading prices for our class A common stock. The price at which our class A common stock will trade in the future cannot be predicted and will be determined by the market. The price may be influenced by many factors, including investors’ perceptions of our business, our financial condition, operating results and prospects, the use of the Internet for business purposes and general economic and market conditions.

Our Board of Directors can issue preferred stock with rights adverse to the holders of class A common stock.

Our Board of Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to determine the provisions of and to issue up to 4,979,575 shares of preferred stock. Issuance of preferred shares with rights to dividends and other distributions, voting rights or other rights superior to the class A common stock could be adverse to the holders of class A common stock. In addition, issuance of preferred shares could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing an unsolicited change in control of our company, or could impose various procedural and other requirements that could make it more difficult for holders of our class A common stock to effect certain corporate actions, including the replacement of incumbent directors and the completion of transactions opposed by the incumbent Board of Directors. The rights of the holders of our class A common stock would be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

As of July 31, 2008, we have no unresolved staff comments.

Item 2. Properties

Domestic.We currently conduct our domestic operations primarily from six locations, all of which are leased. We also lease small office spaces for sales representatives in the U.S. and have non-material obligations for leased office space that was formerly used by us but is now subleased. The facilities consist primarily of sales, development, operations and administrative offices. A summary of our principal leased properties that are currently in use are as follows:

Location	Description	Area (Sq. Ft.)		Lease Expiration
Norcross, GA	Office space		12,949	May 31, 2010
East Setauket, NY	Office space		8,900	June 30, 2009
Carrollton, GA	Office space		8,000	July 31, 2009
Pittsfield, MA	Office space		4,787	December 31, 2009
New York, NY(1)	Office space		18,548	November 30, 2010
Vandalia, Ohio	Office space		9,100	June 30, 2010
Piscataway, NJ	Office space		67,000	February 1, 2013

(1) We sublease 100% of this facility. The sublease terminates simultaneously with our lease agreement on November 30, 2010.

We maintain four domestic data centers in leased co-location facilities designed to house computer systems in secure locations with redundant power and internet access. We may also from time to time rent executive office space for sales personnel outside of our primary office areas.

International.We lease approximately 11,000 square feet of office space in two locations in England under leases expiring in June 2017, with cancellation allowable after 2011. We also from time to time lease executive or back office space in other international locations in Europe, Asia and the United Arab Emirates. We have tele-housing and co-location agreements under short-term leases for our communications nodes around the world.

We believe that these facilities should be adequate for our present and reasonably foreseeable operating requirements.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

In June 2008, j2 Global Communications, Inc. (“J2”) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas claiming that our fax services infringe two of J2’s patents. J2 filed identical or very similar lawsuits against several other competitors in the same court at approximately the same time. J2 claims to be seeking unspecified damages as well as injunctive relief. We have filed an answer in the litigation denying J2’s claims and seeking a declaratory judgment that J2’s patents are invalid.

From time to time we have litigation with other parties involving amounts in controversy that are not material, including actions that we file to recover amounts we believe are owed to us.

With respect to each of the foregoing matters where parties have asserted claims against us we believe we have adequate defenses, intend to defend ourselves vigorously, and believe that the litigation will not result in any material adverse effect.

The outcome of litigation may not be assured, and despite management’s views of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of our estimates and reserves, our cash balances could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment. In accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” we believe we have adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from the above legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated. As such, we do not believe that the anticipated outcome of the aforementioned proceedings will have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

(c) Performance Graph.

The following line-graph provides a comparison of the cumulative total stockholder return on our class A common stock for the period from July 31, 2003 through July 31, 2008, against the CRSP Total Return Index for the Nasdaq National Market (U.S. and Foreign) (the “NASDAQ Market Index”) and the Hemscott Group Index (“Hemscott Group Index”). The comparisons in the graph are required by the rules promulgated by the SEC and are not intended to forecast or be indicative of possible future performance of our class A common stock. Data for the NASDAQ Market Index and the Hemscott Group Index assume reinvestment of dividends. We have never paid dividends on our class A common stock and have no present plans to do so.

(d) Dividends.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our class A common stock and do not intend to declare or pay such dividends in the foreseeable future. The holders of the outstanding shares of our series C preferred stock are entitled to a 4% annual dividend payable in cash or in shares of class A common stock, at our option. These dividends are payable on January 1st of each year.

On December 14, 2006, two subsidiaries of 3V Capital LLC (3V Capital Fund Ltd. and Distressed/High Yield Trading Opportunities, Ltd. (collectively, the “3V Entities”)) acquired from Omega Liquidating Trust, the liquidating trust for the bankrupt Cable & Wireless USA, 10,000 shares of our series C preferred stock and 381,111 shares of our class A common stock, which had previously been issued as dividend payments. Thereafter, on December 20, 2006, ESIC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with each of the 3V Entities, pursuant to which we reacquired a total of 5,000 shares of our series C preferred stock and 190,555 shares of our class A common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,875,000. Following this reacquisition of shares by us, the 3V Entities together continue to own the remaining 5,000 shares of our series C preferred stock and 190,556 shares of our class A common stock. The repurchased shares were subsequently retired. As of July 31, 2008, all outstanding dividend amounts declared and payable per the terms of the series C preferred stock have been paid. We will continue to accrue and annually pay the 4% dividend as per the terms of the remaining outstanding series C preferred stock.

Item 7. 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 annual 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 I of this annual 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 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. The following list of critical accounting policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this annual report. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally accepted accounting principles with no need for management’s judgment in their application. 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We derive revenue from subscriptions to our various services, which includes transaction, monthly service and fax transmission fees. The subscription fees are comprised of both fixed and usage-based fees. Fixed subscription fees are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the subscription period. Usage fees are recognized in the period the services are rendered. We also derive revenue through implementation fees, interconnection fees and by providing data mapping services to our customers. Implementation fees are recognized over the life of the subscription period. Interconnection fees are fees charged to connect to another VAN service and are recognized when the data is transmitted to the connected service. Revenue from data mapping services is recognized when the mapping service has been completed and delivered to the customer.

Goodwill

Goodwill consists of the excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The assessment requires the comparison of the fair value of each of our reporting units to the carrying value of its respective net assets, including allocated goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we must perform a second test to measure the amount of impairment. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. We allocate the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

23

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected lives.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Our long-lived assets, including amortizable intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Management also reevaluates the periods of amortization of long-lived assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we test for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, we would recognize an impairment loss. The amount of the impairment loss will be determined by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to the present value of the net future operating cash flows to be generated by the asset. No impairment has occurred as of July 31, 2008 and 2007.

Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition principles of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the stock award (generally three years) using the straight-line method. Stock based compensation was $685,000, $850,000 and $646,000 in the fiscal years ending July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Income Taxes

EasyLink and its eligible domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return. Foreign operations file income tax returns in a number of jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. We have a variety of deferred tax assets in numerous tax jurisdictions. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessment as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recognized. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that we would recover these deferred tax assets, future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies are considered.

We have net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $84.1 million as of July 31, 2008. These NOL carryforwards expire from 2018 to 2027. 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 July 31, 2008. During 2008, $13.8 million of valuation allowances on the net operating loss carryforwards of ESIC were reversed due to the anticipated future profits. Because of the NOL carryforwards, we do not expect to make material cash outlays for US federal and state taxes during the next twelve months.

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on August 1, 2007. Among other things, FIN 48 requires application of a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions. It further requires that a change in judgment related to prior years’ tax positions be recognized in the quarter of such change.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include the fair value of equity securities underlying stock based compensation, the realizability of deferred tax assets, the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization. The following discussion reviews items incorporated into our financial statements that required the use of significant management estimates.

24

We have entered into several transactions involving the issuance of warrants and options to purchase shares of our class A common stock to employees, consultants, lenders, warrant holders, placement agents and other business associates and vendors. The issuance of these securities required management to estimate their value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make certain estimates for values of variables used by the model. Management estimated the values for stock price volatility, the expected life of the equity instruments, the forfeiture rate and the risk free interest rate based on information that was available to management at the time the Black-Scholes option-pricing calculations were performed. Changes in such estimates could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of those equity instruments.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on the net present value of expected future cash flows. The use of this method requires management to make estimates of the expected future cash flows of the reporting unit and our weighted average cost of capital. Estimating the weighted average cost of capital requires management to make estimates for long-term interest rates and risk premiums. Management estimated these items based on information that was available to management at the time we prepared our estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit. Changes in either the expected cash flows or the weighted average cost of capital could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of our reporting units.

Beneficial Conversion Feature and Accretive Interest Expense

Under GAAP, a beneficial conversion feature is required to be recognized on the date that a convertible instrument becomes convertible into equity shares and the fair market value of those equity shares exceeds the conversion price under the convertible instrument. In addition, a separate fair market value as determined by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is to be applied to detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt financings. These amounts are recorded as a reduction in the face value of the issued convertible or debt instrument with an offset going to additional paid-in-capital. This reduction will accrete through the profit and loss statement as interest expense using the interest rate method over the life of the convertible or debt instrument. We recognized approximately $22.5 million in reduction to the York notes on issuance as a result of these GAAP treatments. The accretive interest recorded for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 is approximately $7.1 million.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable represent trade receivables billed to customers in arrears on a monthly basis. Receivables are recorded in the period that the related revenues are earned and are generally collected within 45 to 60 days. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through an allowance for doubtful accounts and an allowance for sales returns and allowances. The allowance for doubtful accounts results in a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has performed reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The allowance for sales returns and allowances is recorded as a reduction of total revenue and a credit to the allowance account based on specific review of account balances. Credit is granted to customers without requiring collateral. The amount of accounting loss for which we are at risk in these unsecured accounts receivable is limited to their carrying value. The carrying values of accounts receivable were $13.6 million and $3.5 million as of July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Software Development Costs

Software development costs are capitalized under the provisions of Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (“SOP 98-1”). We capitalize the costs of acquiring, developing and testing software to meet our internal needs. Under the provisions of SOP 98-1, we capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and management has authorized further funding for the project which it deems probable will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalized costs include only (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal-use software project and (3) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use software. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Software development costs are amortized using a straight-line method over a three-year period.

Foreign Currency

The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. The financial statements are maintained in local currencies and are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates during the period for revenues, cost of revenues and expenses. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of income.

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, 2008.

Revenue

Total revenue for the year ended July 31, 2008, was $92.2 million, an increase of $70.3 million as compared to the year ended July 31, 2007. Of the $92.2 million, $71.3 million was due to the acquisition of ESC in August 2007. Revenue from US-based and international customers was $66.1 million and $26.1 million, respectively. Revenue from the legacy business prior to the acquisition decreased by $1 million due to our customers’ sourcing of alternative EDI solutions.

The Supply Chain Messaging segment grew $26.7 million from the year ended July 31, 2007 as compared to the year ended July 31, 2008. This increase included $11.3 million from telex services and $15.4 million from EDI services acquired from ESC. The portion of the business that generated the $21.8 million in EDI services in the 2007 fiscal year decreased to $20.8 million in fiscal year 2008. This $1 million decrease was due to our customers’ sourcing of alternative EDI solutions. The Supply Chain Messaging segment comprised approximately 53% of our revenue during the 2008 fiscal year.

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 year ended July 31, 2007. The On Demand Messaging segment comprised approximately 47% of our revenue during the 2008 fiscal year.

In December 2007, we sold the assets of our RapidFax business. This business generated approximately $500,000 in revenue during 2008. The loss of this business will have an immaterial effect on our future profitability.

Cost of Revenue

Total cost of revenue increased $21.8 million from the year ended July 31, 2007 compared to the year ended July 31, 2008. Again, this increase is due 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 year ended July 31, 2008, telecommunication costs increased $12.9 million from the year ended July 31, 2007 and network operating costs increased $8.9 million from the same period ended in 2007.

Product Development

Product development costs increased $5.8 million from the year ended July 31, 2007 compared to the year ended July 31, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased costs consisted mainly of a $4.5 million increase in labor and benefits, an increase of $922,000 in rent, utilities and other operating expenses and a $419,000 increase in consultant and professional services.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses increased $10.2 million from the year ended July 31, 2007 to the year ended July 31, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. These costs consisted of $6.6 million in labor and benefits, $1.9 million in external commissions, $363,000 in outside marketing expenses, $436,000 in travel expenses and $794,000 in rent, utilities and other operating expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $19.4 million from the year ended July 31, 2007 to the year ended July 31, 2008 due mainly to increased costs that were the result of the ESC acquisition. The increased costs consisted mainly of $5.8 million in labor and benefits costs, $4.7 million in rent, utilities and other operating expenses, $2.9 million in professional and legal fees, $476,000 in software and hardware expenses, $221,000 in bank fees and $459,000 in insurance expenses. In addition to the regular operating expenses mentioned above, there was an increase of $4.46 million in amortization on the intangibles acquired in the acquisition. Total amortization included in general and administrative expenses was $5.2 million.

Other (Expense) Income

Other expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 consist mainly of interest expense of $12.9 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 $800,000 of interest income and approximately $800,000 of foreign exchange gains during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. Interest expense consists of $7.3 million for the non-cash interest expense and $5.6 million for interest on the outstanding debt for a total of $12.9 million. (see Note 11, Indebtedness, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2007 Compared with Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 2006

Results of Operations

There was no On Demand Messaging segment in fiscal years 2007 and 2006. All revenue was from the Supply Chain Messaging segment. The following table reflects consolidated operating data. All significant inter-company activities have been eliminated.

Revenue

Total revenue for the year ended July 31, 2007 was $21.9 million, an increase of $2.1 million as compared to the year ended July 31, 2006. The revenue increase was primarily due to the inclusion of TradeGateway revenue from the Enable acquisition for a full year in 2007. The increase was offset by customer attrition from the Kodiak acquisition that occurred in our fiscal year ended July 2006 and customer attrition following our acquisition of QRS Corporation’s Managed EC^TM business (“MEC”) that occurred in our fiscal year ended July 2005.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue remained virtually flat at $4.8 million due to the low direct costs of the TradeGateway revenues.

Product Development

Product development costs increased from $600,000 to $2.4 million due to the additional staff, consulting and rent expenses from the acquired Enable operations.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing costs decreased from $2.1 million to $1.5 million due to reduced headcount and related expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased 3% due to increases in depreciation expense as well as legal and professional fees, facility costs and travel that resulted from the Enable acquisition.

Other Income

Other income of $157,000 in 2007 is comprised of interest income earned on our higher levels of cash reserves, while the $883,000 in 2006 is comprised primarily of the one-time patent sale of $825,000.

29

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents and increased approximately $26.6 million to a total of approximately $ 32.1 million as of July 31, 2008 from approximately $5.4 million as of July 31, 2007. This increase in cash was primarily generated by $59.9 million in borrowings under the Series A Notes and Series B Notes issued in connection with the ESC acquisition. $49.4 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 $12.7 million of cash from operations mainly due to $16.3 million of income generated during the year as well as $8.5 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization, $431,000 of bad debt expense and $686,000 of non-cash compensation. This positive cash flow from operations was partially offset by an increase in receivables that resulted from timing of collections by some of our larger customers as well as decreases in other liabilities and accruals that mainly were included with the acquisition of ESC and were subsequently paid. Beginning March of 2009, we will begin to repay the Series A Notes and Series B Notes at approximately $2.3 million per month for the next eighteen months. These payments will reduce future cash balances. We believe our cash resources will provide us with sufficient liquidity to continue in operation for at least the next four fiscal quarters.

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 July 31, 2008.

Item 7A. 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 will 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 year ended July 31, 2008, our cash investments consisted of overnight cash sweep accounts invested in a fund composed primarily of triple A rated commercial paper and government agency bonds and an investment in money market funds. As of July 31, 2008, the interest rate for these investments ranged from 1.33% to 4.68%.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of EasyLink Services International Corporation
Norcross, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of EasyLink Services International Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) (formerly Internet Commerce Corporation) as of July 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2008. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EasyLink Services International Corporation and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2008, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2008 and the financial statement schedule, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, in Fiscal 2008 the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” effective August 1, 2007.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EasyLink Services International Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

During the second quarter of 2008, the company 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 2007 and 2006 consolidated statements of operations to better reflect comparability between the years represented. The table below summarizes the reclassifications:

	July 31, 2007
	As Previously		Cost of Services			July 31, 2007
	Reported		Reclassifications			As Reclassified
Cost of services	$	7,629,491	$	(2,836,927	)	$	4,792,564

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONT’D)

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include the fair value of equity securities underlying stock based compensation, the collectability of receivables, the realizability of deferred tax assets, the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets and depreciation and amortization.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

We derive revenue from subscriptions to our various services, which includes transaction, monthly service and fax transmission fees. The subscription fees are comprised of both fixed and usage-based fees. Fixed subscription fees are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the subscription period. Usage fees are recognized in the period the services are rendered. We also derive revenue through implementation fees, interconnection fees and by providing data mapping services to our customers. Implementation fees are recognized over the life of the subscription period. Interconnection fees are fees charged to connect to another VAN service and are recognized when the data is transmitted to the connected service. Revenue from data mapping services is recognized when the mapping service has been completed and delivered to the customer.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue is comprised of deferrals for subscription fees, professional services and license and maintenance revenue associated with contracts for which amounts have been received in advance of services to be performed.

Cash and cash equivalents

All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to seven years. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments and are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable represent trade receivables billed to customers in arrears on a monthly basis. Receivables are recorded in the period that the related revenues are earned and are generally collected within 45 to 60 days. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through an allowance for doubtful accounts and an allowance for sales returns and allowances. The allowance for doubtful accounts results in a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on our assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has performed reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The allowance for sales returns and allowances is recorded as a reduction of total revenue and a credit to the allowance account based on specific review of account balances. Credit is granted to customers without requiring collateral. The amount of accounting loss for which we are at risk in these unsecured accounts receivable is limited to their carrying value.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONT’D)

Equity accounting for investments

Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in which we do not exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted time deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other liabilities excluding deferred revenue, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and for income tax reporting carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided, based on the weight of available evidence, if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings per share of common stock

Earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. In accordance with SFAS 128, basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and all potential dilutive common shares that were assumed to be outstanding during the period.

The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock:

Software development costs

Software development costs are capitalized under the provisions of Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (“SOP 98-1”). We capitalize the costs of acquiring, developing and testing software to meet our internal needs. Under the provisions of SOP 98-1, we capitalize costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and management has authorized further funding for the project which it deems probable will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalized costs include only (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal-use software project and (3) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use software. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Software development costs are amortized using a straight-line method over a three-year period.

Stock-based compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition principles of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the estimated term of the stock award using the straight-line method.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected lives.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Our long-lived assets, including amortizable intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Management also reevaluates the periods of amortization of long-lived assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we test for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. The amount of the impairment loss will be determined by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to its fair value (See Note 5).

Goodwill

Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer required to be amortized; instead, goodwill is to be evaluated for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The assessment requires the comparison of the fair value of our reporting units to the carrying value of net assets, including allocated goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we must perform a second test to measure the amount of impairment. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company allocates the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess (see Note 5). We performed an annual goodwill impairment test as of July 31.

Beneficial conversion feature and accretive interest expense

Under GAAP, a beneficial conversion feature is required to be recognized on the date that a convertible instrument becomes convertible into equity shares and the fair market value of those equity shares exceeds the conversion price under the convertible instrument. In addition, a separate fair market value as determined by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is to be applied to detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt financings. These amounts are recorded as a reduction in the face value of the issued convertible or debt instrument with an offset going to additional paid-in-capital. This reduction will accrete through the profit and loss statement as interest expense using the interest rate method over the life of the convertible or debt instrument. We recognized approximately $22.5 million in reduction to the York notes on issuance as a result of these GAAP treatments. The accretive interest recorded for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 equals approximately $7.3 million.

Foreign currency

The functional currencies of foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. The financial statements are maintained in local currencies and are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates during the period for revenues, cost of revenues and expenses. Translation gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

On August 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 describes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a $86,000 charge to our beginning retained deficit as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See Note 10 — Income Taxes.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

The Company 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. We do not believe that SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our financial statements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. 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. We evaluated the impact of SFAS 159 and determined that the impact will not be material.

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.

In May, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The PCAOB does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice. However, transition provisions have been provided in the unusual circumstance that the application of the provisions of this Statement results in a change in practice.

3. ACQUISITIONS

EASYLINK SERVICES CORPORATION —On August 20, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition by merger of EasyLink Services Corporation (“ESC”). 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 global market place.

STEWART TECHNICAL SERVICES

On January 31, 2007, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Stewart Technical Services, Inc. (“STS”). STS provided EDI services. In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), we paid $300,000 upon close and had a contingent payment of up to an additional one times revenue for the first year’s revenue less the $300,000 payment made at closing. In our fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, we paid a final earn-out to STS of $259,000. As a result of the acquisition, we recorded fixed assets of $5,000 and intangible assets of approximately $288,000 comprised of internally developed software of $188,000 and customer relationships of $100,000. The fixed assets have an estimated useful life of three years and customer relationships and internally developed software have estimated useful lives of five and four years, respectively. No pro forma information regarding revenue and income was provided as the effect of the acquisition on the consolidated financial statements was not material. Acquired intangible assets are deductible for tax purposes.

On May 9, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Enable Corp.

We issued an additional 12,488 shares of our class A common stock valued at approximately $36,000 on May 9, 2007 (the “Shortfall Stock”) as required under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement.

KODIAK

On November 1, 2005,we acquired the outstanding share of the Kodiak Group, Inc. (“Kodiak”), a privately held company that provided EDI outsourcing and global data synchronization services.

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, we paid $1.0 million in cash on close and we were to pay an additional $1.0 million in cash should the Kodiak operations generate revenue of no less than $3.0 million over the first twelve months following the acquisition, and up to an additional $0.5 million on a pro-rated basis should the Kodiak operations generate between $3.25 and $4.0 million in revenue over the first twelve months following the acquisition. For that period, the Kodiak operations did not achieve the revenue goal of $3.0 million. Therefore, we have no additional payment obligations. We based our allocation of the purchase price on the assumption that the sellers of Kodiak would not receive any of the additional payments outlined above.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Class A Common Stock:

Holders of class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by common stockholders. Subject to the preferences of the preferred stock, the holders of class A common stock are entitled to a proportional distribution of any dividends that may be declared by the Board of Directors, provided that if any distributions are made to holders of class A common stock, identical per-share distributions must be made to the holders of class B common stock, even if the distributions are in class A common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of EasyLink, the holders of class A common stock are entitled to share equally with holders of class B common stock in all assets remaining after liabilities and amounts due to holders of preferred stock have been paid in full or set aside. Class A common stock has no preemptive, redemption or conversion rights. The rights of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of series C preferred stock, series D preferred stock or any other series of preferred stock we may designate in the future.

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. As of July 31, 2008, we repurchased 109,250 shares at a cost of $303,325. The repurchase was recorded under the cost method and has been classified as Treasury stock. Future dividends may be limited per the Purchase Agreement.

Class B Common Stock:

Our Articles of Incorporation authorized the issuance of Class B common stock which was convertible into class A common stock. All of the class B common stock were issued and subsequently converted in to class A common stock prior to July 31, 2007. There are no remaining shares of class B common stock authorized or available for issuance.

Series C Preferred Stock:

Each share of series C preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into 44.76 shares of class A common stock, subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. On any matter presented to stockholders, series C preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes per share equal to the number of whole shares of class A common stock into which such share of series C preferred stock is convertible on the record date for the determination of stockholders that are entitled to vote on that matter.

Series C preferred stock is redeemable, in whole or part at our option at any time after January 1, 2005. The redemption price for each share of series C preferred stock is $1,000 plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Notice of redemption must be given 45 days prior to the redemption date. Series C preferred stock shall be preferred as to assets over all other classes or series of preferred stock in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of series C preferred stock are entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends before any distribution is made to holders of common stock.

The holders of the outstanding shares of series C preferred stock are entitled to receive a 4% per share annual cumulative dividend payable in cash or shares of common stock at our option. Each share of series C preferred stock is deemed to have a value of $1,000 and each share of common stock to be paid as a dividend shall be valued at the average of the Market Price (as defined by the certificate of designation of the series C convertible preferred stock) for ten consecutive trading days ending two days prior to the payment date. Dividends are payable on January 1 of each year. Dividends accrue and are cumulative on a daily basis, whether or not earned or declared. In February 2008, we issued a cash dividend of $200,000 in payment of the dividend on series C preferred stock. In January 2007 and 2006, we issued 65,398 and 141,844 shares of class A common stock in payment of the dividends on series C preferred stock, respectively.

Stock incentives

The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) was adopted in November 2005 and approved by the stockholders on January 4, 2006. The total shares of class A common stock subject to the 2005 Plan shall not exceed the sum of 2,000,000 shares plus any shares that were reserved and available for issuance under our retired Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Amended Plan”), as of the effective date of the 2005 Plan, which totaled 1,173,233 shares of class A common stock out of the original 7,000,000 shares under the Amended Plan. An amendment to the 2005 Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by an additional 2,500,000 shares was adopted by our Board of Directors in April of 2007 and approved by the shareholders on August 14, 2007. The Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee may grant the following stock incentives under the 2005 Plan: stock options to purchase shares of class A common stock, including incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options; restricted stock awards; restricted stock units; and stock appreciation rights. Each of the above stock incentives will be evidenced by a stock incentive agreement in such form and with such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee may, pursuant to the provisions of the 2005 Plan, determine in their discretion. As of July 31, 2008, the only stock incentives outstanding under the 2005 Plan are stock options and restricted stock awards.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $3.10 as of July 31, 2008, which would have been received by the option holders had those option holders exercised their options as of that date. We had 4,282,343 options-shares available for grant under the Plan as of July 31, 2008.

Prior to November 1, 2005, each non-employee member of the Board of Directors received annual compensation of $25,000, which was payable quarterly in shares of class A common stock. We issued 0, 0 and 29,998 shares of class A common stock for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and recorded a non-cash compensation charge related to these shares of $0, 0 and $87,000 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The shares were fully vested on issuance. The 29,998 shares of class A common stock issued in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006 were related to four months of services provided in 2005 and services provided for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. As of November 1, 2005, each non-employee member of the Board of Directors receives annual compensation of $36,000 for his current term of office and beginning January 1, 2007, each non-employee member of the Board of Directors was granted 7,500 options, which vest in increments of 25% at the beginning of each calendar quarter, as additional annual Board of Directors compensation. Each director may receive 2,500 additional options for participating in committees within the Board of Directors which vest in 25% increments at the beginning of each calendar quarter.

As of January 1, 2008, annual non-employee board member compensation increased to $45,000. In addition, effective January 1, 2008, a total of 25,861 shares of restricted stock were granted to our five board members.

Upon the acquisition of ESC, 164,029 restricted shares of ESC executives were converted to ESIC restricted stock at a value of $543,559. In addition, ESC stock options were converted to ESIC stock options at a value of $1,909,350.

Net deferred tax asset	$	4,358,703		$	—

At July 31, 2008, we had $35.9 million of deferred tax assets related to operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards. We had $34.3 million of deferred tax assets related to domestic net operating loss carryforwards, including $5.7 million for state income tax purposes, which expire between 2018 and 2027. We had $0.6 million of deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which have carryforward periods ranging from 8 years to unlimited in the various countries. We had $1.0 million in credit carryforwards, including $0.4 million of alternative minimum tax credits, which have an unlimited carryforward period, and $0.6 million of R&D credits, which expire between 2008 and 2021.

The gross deferred tax assets as of July 31, 2008 were reduced by valuation allowances of $24.6 million, relating to domestic net operating loss carryforwards, foreign net operating loss carryforwards, and other tax attributes, as it is more likely than not that some portion or all of these tax attributes will not be realized. The valuation allowance was reduced by $13.8 million during fiscal 2008 due to releases of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets realized or expected to be utilized and to a larger extent resulting from an evaluation of the expected utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and tax attributes based on Company forecasts.

In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that we would recover our deferred tax assets, future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies were considered. We believe that our estimates for the valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances.

10. INCOME TAXES (CONT’D)

We adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on August 1, 2007. Among other things, FIN 48 requires application of a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions. It further requires that a change in judgment related to prior years’ tax positions be recognized in the quarter of such change. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a $85,863 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the August 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

	Federal		State		Foreign		Total
Balance at August 1, 2007	$	47,768	$	50,603	$	—	$	98,371
Additions based on tax positions related to current year		6,952		—		—		6,952
Additions for tax positions of prior years		—		31,986		—		31,986
Addition of EasyLink Services Corporation Unrecognized Tax Benefit		—		—		696,361		696,361
Balance at July 31, 2008	$	54,720	$	82,589	$	696,361	$	833,670

We file a consolidated federal income tax return and various state and international tax returns for each of the legal entities. We are not currently subject to U.S. federal, state or local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for any tax years. We therefore 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.

At August 1, 2007, our “unrecognized tax benefits” — that is, the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in our financial statements — amounted to $98,371. This amount increased to $833,670 during the current period, $696,361 of which was due to the acquisition of ESC in August 2007 and the transfer of its existing FIN 48 balance to EasyLink. If recognized, the effect of the unrecognized tax benefits on EasyLink’s rate would be $85,863 at August 1, 2007 and $801,638 at July 31, 2008. No portion of any such reduction might be reported as discontinued operations.

During fiscal year 2009, certain factors could potentially reduce our unrecognized tax benefits, such as the expiration of open statutes of limitation. The statute of limitations for domestic tax filings is generally three years from the date of filing. The statute of limitations for UK tax filings is generally one year from the date of filing. We do not expect these factors to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operation.

We have net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $84.1 million as of July 31, 2008. These NOL carryforwards expire from 2018 to 2027. 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 July 31, 2008. During 2008, $13.8 million of valuation allowances on the net operating loss carryforwards of ESIC were reversed due to the anticipated future profits. Because of the NOL carryforwards, we do not expect to make material cash outlays for US federal and state taxes during the next twelve months.

We classify interest on tax deficiencies as interest expense; we classify income tax penalties as penalties expense. At August 1, 2007, before any tax benefits, our accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits amounted to $4,715, and we had recorded no related accrued penalties. The amount of accrued interest increased by $41,413 during the current period to $46,128 at July 31, 2008, $36,249 of which was due to the acquisition of ESC in August 2007 and the transfer of its existing FIN 48 balance to EasyLink. We do not have any accrued penalties at August 1, 2007 or July 31, 2008.

11. INDEBTEDNESS

On May 3, 2007, in order to finance the Merger with ESC, 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 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 with interest 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 with interest 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 had the ability to prepay $15 million of the Series B Notes from the proceeds of certain types of asset sales, which prepayment would have been subject to a 12.5% prepayment penalty.

Prior to December 19, 2007 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, 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. 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 Series A Notes and Series B notes together totaling $70,105,416 may be converted into common shares at $3.036 per share, for a total of 23,091,376 shares.

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 prior to the date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Series A and Series B Notes is less than $20,000,000.

Additional investment rights with a total value of $10,000,000 may be exercised and converted into common stock at $3.036 per share, for a total of 3,293,807 shares.

Under GAAP, a beneficial conversion feature is required to be recognized on the date that a convertible instrument becomes convertible into equity shares and the fair market value of those equity shares exceeds the conversion price under the convertible instrument. In addition, a separate fair market value as determined by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is to be applied to detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt financings. These amounts are recorded as a reduction in the face value of the issued convertible or debt instrument with an offset going to additional paid-in-capital. This reduction accretes through the profit and loss statement as interest expense using the interest rate method over the life of the debt instrument. We recognized approximately 7.0 million for the warrants and $15.5 million for the discount to the York notes on issuance as a result of these GAAP treatments. The accretive interest recorded for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 is approximately $7.1 million.

11. INDEBTEDNESS (CONT’D)

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 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 the 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.

Obligations under operating leases

We have non-cancelable operating lease commitments for office space and rents expiring on various dates through March, 2015. Rent expense under these leases was approximately $3,256,000, $708,000, and $649,000 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Certain leases contain escalation clauses for operating expenses.

As of July 31, 2008, minimum future rental payments due under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Fiscal Year	Amount
2009	$	3,352,205
2010		3,018,367

As part of the acquisition of QRS Corporation’s Managed EC^TM business (“MEC”) in March 2005, we assumed a lease in New York, New York. The estimated present value of the net liability under this lease was recorded as part of the purchase price. Total rent payments under this lease were $1,244,000, $1,021,000 and $978,000 for the years ending July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In January 2006, we entered into a sublease agreement for the remaining term of the lease through November 2010. Total minimum future rental payments have been reduced by approximately $1,681,000 of sublease rentals to be received in the future under non-cancelable subleases as follows: 2009 — $710,000, 2010 — $728,000 and 2011 — $243,000.

Representations and Warranties

As part of its standard license agreements, we indemnify our customers against liability if our products infringe upon a third party’s intellectual property rights. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs related to performance under these indemnities.

Letters of credit

We have provided cash collateral for certificates of deposit in the aggregate amount of $417,000 at July 31, 2008 and 2007 as security deposits for certain lease agreements. These amounts have been recorded as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheets.

Separation Agreements

In February 2007, we entered into a Separation Agreement with our former Chief Operating Officer which required us to pay $102,500, payable in semi-monthly installments of $8,542 commencing on March 15, 2007. $85,417 was paid in fiscal year 2007 and $17,083 was paid in fiscal year 2008.

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 $414,000 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.

A ruling in our favor was received on June 26, 2008; however, the state has appealed. We continue to carry an accrual of $368,000 in respect of this assessment as of July 31, 2008.

Litigation

In June 2008 j2 Global Communications, Inc. filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas claiming that our fax services infringe two of J2’s patents. J2 filed identical or very similar lawsuits against several other competitors in the same court at approximately the same time. J2 claims to be seeking unspecified damages as well as injunctive relief. We have filed an answer in the litigation denying J2’s claims and seeking a declaratory judgment that J2’s patents are invalid.

From time to time we have litigation with other parties involving amounts in controversy that are not material, including actions that we file to recover amounts we believe are owed to us.

With respect to each of the foregoing matters where parties have asserted claims against us we believe we have adequate defenses, intend to defend ourselves vigorously, and believe that the litigation will not result in any material adverse effect.

The outcome of litigation may not be assured, and despite management’s views of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of our estimates and reserves, our cash balances could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment. In accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” we believe we have adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from the above legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated. As such, we do not believe that the anticipated outcome of the aforementioned proceedings will have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

13. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND REVENUES

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and accounts receivable. We invest our excess cash in money market instruments and commercial paper. Cash balances in banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. All accounts receivable are unsecured. We believe that any credit risk associated with receivables is minimal due to the number and creditworthiness of its customers. Receivables are stated at estimated net realizable value, which approximates fair value.

For the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at July 31, 2008 and 2007.

14. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

401(K) PLAN

We maintain a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all of our U.S. based employees. During the 2007 fiscal year, we approved an employer matching contribution program for all eligible 401(k) participants. The amount of expense related to the employer match for 2008 and 2007 was approximately $437,000 and $46,000, respectively. There was no employer match expense for the year 2006.

UNITED KINGDOM PENSION PLAN

We maintain one pension plan in the United Kingdom. Participants may contribute to the plan on a before-tax basis, subject to statutory limits. Participant contributions are fully and immediately vested. Our contribution is 9.5% to 10.5% of a participant’s pay and is also immediately vested. Our contributions from August 20, 2007 (the date of the ESC acquisition) through July 31, 2008 were approximately $546,000.

15. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our operations include two business segments defined as follows:

• Supply Chain Messaging Segment (“Supply Chain”), which includes all our EDI and telex services. This segment was 100%, 100% and 53% of reported revenue the years ending July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

• On Demand Messaging Segment (“On Demand”), which includes all fax, e-mail, document capture and management (“DCM”) and workflow services. This segment was 0%, 0% and 47% of reported revenue for the years ending July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Prior to our merger with ESC, we were known as Internet Commerce Corporation (“ICC”) and had reported two different EDI segments through our fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, both of which are now reported in the Supply Chain Segment.

The table below summarizes information about operations for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006:
