NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | Business and Organization |

(together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Terremark”) is a leading operator of integrated Tier-1 Internet exchanges and a global provider of managed IT infrastructure solutions for government and commercial sectors. Terremark delivers its portfolio of services from seven locations in the U.S., Europe and Latin America and from our four service aggregation and distribution locations in Europe and Asia.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the quarter or the nine months ended December 31, 2005 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2006. Amounts as of March 31, 2005 included in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates |
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and profit recognition |
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. The Company does not request collateral from customers. If the Company determines that collection is not reasonably assured, the Company recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. The Company accounts for certain data center revenues by separating multiple element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting.
Data center revenues consist of monthly recurring fees for colocation, exchange point, and managed and professional services fees. It also includes monthly rental income for unconditioned space in our Miami facility. Revenues from colocation and exchange point services, as well as rental income for unconditioned space, are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Installation fees and related direct costs are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected life of the customer installation.

TERREMARK WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Effective April 1, 2005, the Company revised the estimated life of customer installations from 12 to 48 months. The Company has determined that this change in accounting estimate does not and will not have a material impact on net earnings in current and future periods. Managed services fees are recognized in the period in which the services are provided.
Revenues for professional services rendered are recognized on a time and materials basis or on a fixed-fee basis. Revenues for time and materials contracts are recognized based on the number of hours worked by our employees at an agreed upon rate per hour and are recognized in the period in which services are performed. Revenues related to fixed-fee contracts are recognized on the proportional performance method of accounting based on the ratio of labor hours incurred to estimated total labor hours. This percentage is multiplied by the contracted dollar amount of the project to determine the amount of revenue to recognize in an accounting period. The contracted dollar amount used in this calculation excludes the amount the client pays us for procurement of equipment and services to be provided by third parties. Revenues and costs related to the procurement of equipment and services to be provided by third parties are deferred in the balance sheet until the equipment or the service is delivered and accepted by the customer. On an ongoing basis, our project delivery and finance personnel review hours incurred and estimated total labor hours to complete projects and any revisions in these estimates are reflected in the period in which they become known.
Derivatives |
The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, the Company’s 9% Senior Convertible Notes due June 15, 2009 (the “Senior Convertible Notes”) contain embedded derivatives that require separate valuation from the Senior Convertible Notes. The Company recognizes these derivatives as liabilities in its balance sheet and measures them at their estimated fair value, and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in earnings in the period of change.
The Company, with the assistance of a third party, estimates the fair value of its embedded derivatives using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. These embedded derivatives derive their value primarily based on changes in the price and volatility of the Company’s common stock. Over the life of the Senior Convertible Notes, given the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock, changes in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. Furthermore, the Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a theoretical model based on the historical volatility of its common stock over the past year. If an active trading market develops for the Senior Convertible Notes or the Company is able to find comparable market data, it may in the future be able to use actual market data to adjust the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives. Such adjustment could be significant and would be accounted for prospectively.
Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts, if any, that the Company may eventually pay to settle these embedded derivatives.

Stock-based compensation |
The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for its employee stock-based compensation plans. Under this method, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s shares and the option’s exercise price. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to non-employees using the fair value method.
The following table presents what the net loss and net loss per share would have been had the Company accounted for employee stock based compensation using the fair value method:

Fair value calculations for employee grants were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
2005 | 2004 | |||||||
Risk Free Rate | 3.69% — 4.40% | 2.14% — 3.50% | ||||||

Stock warrants |
The Company uses the fair value method to value warrants granted to non-employees. Some warrants are vested over time and some are vested upon issuance. The Company determines the fair value for non-employee warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the same assumptions used for employee grants, except for the expected life, which was assumed to be between 1 and 7 years. When warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock are issued in connection with the sale of debt or other securities, aggregate proceeds from the sale of the warrants and other securities are allocated among all instruments issued based on their relative fair market values. Any resulting discount from the face value of debt is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the debt.

Loss per share |
The Company’s Senior Convertible Notes contain contingent interest provisions which allow the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes to participate in any dividends declared on the Company’s common stock. Further, the Company’s Series H and I preferred stock contain participation rights which entitle the holders to receive dividends in the event the Company declares dividends on its common stock. Accordingly, the Senior Convertible Notes and the Series H and I preferred stock are considered participating securities.
Effective May 16, 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved a one for ten reverse stock split. All share and per share information has been restated to account for the one for ten reverse stock split.
Basic EPS is calculated as income or loss available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. If the effect is dilutive, participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS. Our participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses in any given period. As a result, these participating securities will not be allocated any losses in the periods of net losses, but will be allocated income in the periods of net income using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amounts of dividends that must be paid for the current period. The remaining earnings are then allocated to common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock and “if converted” methods for potential common stock. For diluted earnings (loss) per share purposes, however, the Company’s preferred stock will continue to be treated as a participating security in periods in which the use of the “if converted” method results in anti-dilution.

Recent accounting standards |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No 123(R) requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation, such as employee stock purchase plans and restricted stock awards. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation awards must meet certain criteria in order for the award to qualify for equity classification. An award that does not meet those criteria will be classified as liability and be remeasured each period. SFAS No. 123(R) retains the requirements on accounting for the income tax effects of stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123; however, it changes how excess tax benefits will be presented in the statement of cash flows. In addition, in March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which offers guidance on SFAS No. 123(R). SAB No. 107 was issued to assist preparers by simplifying some of the implementation challenges of SFAS No. 123(R) while enhancing the information that investors receive. Key topics of SAB No. 107 include discussion on the
9
Table of Contents
TERREMARK WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
valuation models available to preparers and guidance on key assumptions used in these valuation models, such as expected volatility and expected term, as well as guidance on accounting for the income tax effects of SFAS No. 123(R) and disclosure considerations, among other topics. SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 were effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005; however, in April 2005, the SEC approved a new rule that SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 are now effective for public companies for annual, rather than interim, periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company is currently considering the financial accounting, income tax and internal control implications of SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. It eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets contained in APB Opinion No. 29 and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of an entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. As the provisions of SFAS No. 153 are to be applied prospectively, the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will not have an impact on the Company’s historical financial statements; however, the Company will assess the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on any future nonmonetary transactions that the Company enters into, if any.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“FIN No. 47”) FIN No. 47 clarifies that the term, conditional retirement obligation, as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN No. 47 further clarifies that the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement and provides guidance on how an entity might reasonably estimate the fair value of such a conditional asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN No. 47 is not expected to have a material impact, if any, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination” (“EITF 05-6”). EITF 05-6 addresses the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of a lease term. EITF 05-6 states that (i) leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of acquisition and (ii) leasehold improvements that are placed into service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. EITF 05-6 is effective for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a significant impact, if any, on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), which will require entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB No. 20”), which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Another significant change in practice under SFAS No. 154 will be that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Under APB No. 20, such a change would have been reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In September 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05–7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Securities and Related Issues” (“EITF 05–7”). EITF 05–7 addresses that the changes in the fair value of an embedded conversion option upon modification should be included in the analysis under EITF Issue 96–19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” to determine whether a modification or extinguishment has occurred and that changes to the fair value of a conversion option affects the interest expense on the associated debt instrument following a modification. Therefore, the change in fair value of the conversion option should be recognized upon the modification as a discount or premium associated with the debt, and an increase or decrease in additional paid-in capital. EITF 05–7 is effective for all debt modifications in annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05–7 is not expected to have significant impact, if any, on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In September 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05–8, “Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature” (“EITF 05–8”). EITF 05–8 addresses that (i) the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature creates a difference between the book basis and tax basis (“basis difference”) of a convertible debt instrument, (ii) that basis difference is a temporary difference for which a deferred tax liability should be recorded and (iii) the effect of recognizing the deferred tax liability should be charged to equity in accordance with SFAS No. 109. EITF 05–8 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and must be adopted through retrospective application to all periods presented. As a result, EITF 05–8 applies to debt instruments that were converted or extinguished in prior periods as well as to those currently outstanding. The adoption of EITF 05–8 is not expected to have significant impact, if any, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
3. | Acquisition |
On August 5, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Dedigate, N.V., a managed host services provider in Europe. The preliminary purchase price of $12,114,162 was comprised of: (i) 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $10,755,200, (ii) cash consideration of $653,552 and (iii) direct transaction costs of $705,410. The fair value of the Company’s stock was determined using the five-day trading average price of the Company’s common stock for two days before and after the date the transaction was announced in August 2005.

The costs to acquire Dedigate were allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, and any excess was allocated to goodwill. The Company has not yet completed the final allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition. Additional information could come to the Company’s attention that may require a revision to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill. As of December 31, 2005, the purchase price allocation was adjusted by an increase in goodwill and other assets of $131,702. The effect of these adjustments on the related amortization was insignificant.

In connection with the purchase of TECOTA, the Company obtained a $49.0 million loan from CitiGroup Global Markets Realty Corp., $4.0 million of which is restricted and can only be used to fund customer related capital improvements made to the NAP of the Americas in Miami. This loan is
12

collateralized by a first mortgage on the NAP of the Americas building and a security interest in all the existing building improvements that the Company has made to the building, certain of the Company’s deposit accounts and any cash flows generated from customers by virtue of their activity at the NAP of the Americas building. The loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of 6.75% or LIBOR plus 4.75%, and matures in February 2009. This mortgage loan includes numerous covenants imposing significant financial and operating restrictions on the Company’s business. See Note 8.
In connection with this financing, the Company issued to Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., for no additional consideration, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Those warrants expire on December 31, 2011 and are divided into four equal tranches that differ only in respect of the applicable exercise prices, which are $6.80, $7.40, $8.10 and $8.70, respectively. The warrants were valued by an independent appraiser at approximately $2,200,000, which was recorded as a discount to the debt principal. Proceeds from the issuance of the mortgage note payable and the warrants were allocated based on their relative fair values. The costs related to the issuance of the mortgage loan were deferred and amounted to approximately $1,570,000. The discount to the debt principal and the debt issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the mortgage loan.

6. | Convertible Debt |
On June 14, 2004, the Company privately placed $86.25 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes to qualified institutional buyers. The Senior Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable semiannually, on each December 15 and June 15, and are convertible at the option of the holders, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $12.50 per share. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to pay notes payable amounting to approximately $36.5 million and convertible debt amounting to approximately $9.8 million. In conjunction with the offering, the Company incurred $6,635,912 in debt issuance costs, including $1,380,000 in estimated fair value of warrants issued to the placement agent to purchase 181,579 shares of the Company’s common stock at $9.50 per share.
The Senior Convertible Notes rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and rank junior to any future secured indebtedness. If there is a change in control of the Company, the holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Repurchase Price”). If a change in control occurs and at least 50% of the consideration for the Company’s common stock consists of cash, the
13
Table of Contents
TERREMARK WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
holders of the Senior Convertible Notes may elect to receive the greater of the Repurchase Price or the Total Redemption Amount. The Total Redemption Amount will be equal to the product of (x) the average closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days prior to announcement of the change in control and (y) the quotient of $1,000 divided by the applicable conversion price of the Senior Convertible Notes, plus a make whole premium of $135 per $1,000 of principal if the change in control takes place before June 15, 2006 reducing to $45 per $1,000 of principal if the change in control takes place between June 16, 2008 and December 15, 2008. If the Company issues a cash dividend on its common stock, it will pay contingent interest to the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes equal to the product of the per share cash dividend and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each holder’s note.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Convertible Notes for cash at any time on or after June 15, 2007, if the closing price of the Company’s common shares has exceeded 200% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date it mails the redemption notice. If the Company redeems the notes during the twelve month period commencing on June 15, 2007 or 2008, the redemption price equals 104.5% or 102.25%, respectively, of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus an amount equal to 50% of all remaining scheduled interest payments on the notes from, and including, the redemption date through the maturity date.
The Senior Convertible Notes contain an early conversion incentive for holders to convert their notes into shares of common stock before June 15, 2007. If exercised, the holders will receive the number of common shares to which they are entitled and an early conversion incentive payment in cash or common stock, at the Company’s option, equal to one-half the aggregate amount of interest payable through June 15, 2007.
The conversion option, including the early conversion incentive, and the equity participation feature embedded in the Senior Convertible Notes were determined to be derivative instruments to be considered separately from the debt and accounted for separately. As a result of the bifurcation of the embedded derivatives, the carrying value of the Senior Convertible Notes at issuance was approximately $50.8 million. The Company is accreting the difference between the face value of the Senior Convertible Notes ($86.25 million) and the carrying value to interest expense under the effective interest method on a monthly basis over the life of the Senior Convertible Notes.
7. | Derivatives |
The Senior Convertible Notes contain three embedded derivatives that require separate valuation from the Senior Convertible Notes: a conversion option that includes an early conversion incentive, an equity participation right and a takeover make whole premium due upon a change in control. The Company has estimated to date that the embedded derivatives related to the equity participation rights and the takeover make whole premium do not have significant value.
The Company estimated that the embedded derivatives had a March 31, 2005 estimated fair value of $20,199,750 and a December 31, 2005 estimated fair value of $11,644,613 resulting from the conversion option. The change of $8,555,138 in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives was recognized as other income in the nine months ended December 31, 2005. For the three months ended December 31, 2005, the change in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives was $1,422,538 and was recognized as other expense in the three months ended December 31, 2005.
The interest rate on our mortgage loan is payable at variable rates indexed to LIBOR. To partially mitigate the interest rate risk on our mortgage loan, the Company paid $100,000 on December 31, 2004 to enter into a rate cap protection agreement. The rate cap protection agreement capped at the following

In connection with the purchase of TECOTA, the Company issued Senior Secured Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $30.0 million and sold 306,044 shares of its common stock valued at $2.0 million to the Falcon investors. The Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than the TECOTA building, bear cash interest at 9.875% per annum and “payment in kind” interest at 3.625% per annum subject to adjustment upon satisfaction of specified financial tests, and mature in March 2009.
The Company issued to the Falcon investors, for no additional consideration, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Those warrants expire on December 30, 2011 and are divided into four equal tranches that differ only in respect of the applicable exercise prices, which are $6.90, $7.50, $8.20 and $8.80, respectively. The warrants were valued by a third party expert at approximately $6,600,000, which was recorded as a discount to the debt principal. Proceeds from the issuance of the senior secured notes and the warrants were allocated based on their relative fair values. The costs related to the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes were deferred and amounted to approximately $1,813,000. The discount to the debt principal and the debt issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Senior Secured Notes.
The Company’s mortgage loan and Senior Secured Notes include numerous covenants imposing significant financial and operating restrictions on its business. The covenants place restrictions on the Company’s ability to, among other things:
• | incur more debt; | |
• | pay dividends, redeem or repurchase its stock or make other distributions; | |
• | make acquisitions or investments; | |
• | enter into transactions with affiliates; | |
• | merge or consolidate with others; | |
• | dispose of assets or use asset sale proceeds; | |
• | create liens on our assets; and | |
• | extend the credit. |
Failure to comply with the obligations in the mortgage loan or the Senior Secured Notes could result in an event of default under the mortgage loan or the Senior Secured Notes, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of the indebtedness or other indebtedness which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 based on our current expectations, assumptions, and estimates about us and our industry. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including, among others, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, projected levels of growth, projected costs and projected financing needs, are forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of several important factors including, without limitation, a history of losses, competitive factors, uncertainties inherent in government contracting, concentration of business with a small number of clients, the ability to service debt, substantial leverage, material weaknesses in our internal controls and our disclosure controls, energy costs, the interest rate environment, one-time events and other factors more fully described in “Other Factors Affecting Operating Results” under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below and elsewhere in this report. The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we do not plan and assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein after the date of this report, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We operate Internet exchange points from which we provide colocation, interconnection and managed services to the government and commercial sectors. Terremark delivers its portfolio of services from seven locations in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Terremark’s flagship facility, the NAP of the Americas, located in Miami, Florida, is the model for the carrier-neutral Internet exchanges and is designed and built to disaster-resistant standards with maximum security to house mission-critical infrastructure. Our secure presence in Miami, a key gateway to North American, Latin American and European telecommunications networks, has enabled us to establish customer relationships with U.S. federal government agencies, including the Department of State and the Department of Defense. We have been awarded sole-source contracts with the U.S. federal government which we believe will allow us to both penetrate further the government sector and continue to attract federal information technology providers. As a result of our primarily fixed cost operating model, we believe that incremental customers and revenues will result in improved operating margins and increased profitability.
We generate revenue by providing high quality Internet infrastructure on a platform designed to reduce network connectivity costs. We provide our customers with the following:
• | space to house equipment and network facilities in immediate proximity to Internet and communications networks; | |
• | the platform to exchange telecommunications and Internet traffic and access to network-based services; and | |
• | related professional and managed services such as our network operations center, outsourced storage, dedicated hosting and remote monitoring. |
We differentiate ourselves from our competitors through the security and strategic location of our facilities and our carrier-neutral model, which provides access to a critical mass of Internet and telecommunications connectivity. We are certified by the U.S. federal government to house several “Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facilities,” or “SCIFs,” which are facilities that comply with
20
Table of Contents
federal government security standards and are staffed by our employees. Approximately 18% of our employees maintain an active federal government security clearance.
The immediate proximity of our facilities to major fiber routes with access to North America, Latin America and Europe has attracted numerous telecommunications carriers, such as AT&T, Global Crossing, Latin America Nautilus (a business unit of Telecom Italia), Progress Telecom, Sprint Communications and T-Systems (a business unit of Deutsche Telecom), to colocate their equipment with us in order to better service their customers. This network density, which allows our customers to reduce their connectivity costs, combined with the security of our facilities, has attracted government sector customers, including Blackbird Technologies, the City of Coral Gables, Florida, the Diplomatic Telecommunications Service — Program Office (DTS-PO, a division of the U.S. Department of State), Miami-Dade County, Florida, SRA International and the United States Southern Command. Additionally, we have had success in attracting content providers and enterprises such as Citrix, Google, Internap, Miniclip, NTT/ Verio, VeriSign, Bacardi USA, Corporación Andina de Fomento, Florida International University, Intrado, Jackson Memorial Hospital of Miami and Steiner Leisure.

The increase in data center revenues is mainly due to an increase in our deployed customer base and an expansion of services to existing customers. The increase in revenue from colocation and managed and professional services was primarily the result of growth in our deployed customer base from 169 customers
21
Table of Contents
as of December 31, 2004 to 408 customers as of December 31, 2005. Included in revenues and customer count are the results of Dedigate which we acquired on August 5, 2005. Data center revenues consist of:
• | colocation services, such as leasing of space and provisioning of power; | |
• | exchange point services, such as peering and cross connects; and | |
• | managed and professional services, such as network management, managed web hosting, outsourced network operating center (NOC) services, network monitoring, procurement and installation of equipment and procurement of connectivity, managed router services, technical support and consulting. |
During the quarter ended December 31, 2004 we completed two technology infrastructure build-outs under U.S. federal government contracts that included the procurement, installation and configuration of colocation specialized equipment at the NAP of the Americas facility in Miami. Under the completed contract method, we recognized approximately $9.4 million as technology infrastructure build-outs revenue upon delivery and formal acceptance by the customer. As a result, the percentage of data center revenues derived from the U.S. government, decreased to 27% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from 42% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.
Our utilization of total net colocation space increased to 11.8% as of December 31, 2005 from 7.7% as of December 31, 2004. Our utilization of total net colocation space represents the percentage of space billed versus total space available for customers. On December 31, 2004, we purchased TECOTA, the entity that owns the 750,000 square foot building in which the NAP of the Americas is housed. Prior to this acquisition, we leased 240,000 square feet of the building. For comparative purposes, total space available to customers includes our estimate of space available to customers in the entire building for both December 31, 2005 and 2004.
The increase in managed and professional services is mainly due to increases of approximately $2.5 million in managed services provided under government contracts, $2.0 million in managed services generated by Dedigate, N.V., a European managed dedicated hosting provider which we acquired in August 2005 and $1.4 million in the cost of equipment resales. We also earned $3.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 for professional services related to a feasibility study and a network engineering study. The remainder of the increase is primarily the result of an increase in orders from both existing and new customer growth as reflected by the growth in our customer count and utilization of space as discussed above.
The increase in exchange point services is mainly due to an increase in cross-connects billed to customers. Cross-connects billed to customers increased to 3,724 as of December 31, 2005 from 1,935 as of December 31, 2004.
We anticipate an increase in revenue from colocation, exchange point and managed services as we add more customers to our network of NAPs, sell additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services. We anticipate that the percentage of revenue derived from the public sector customers will fluctuate depending on the timing of exercise of expansion options under existing contracts and the rate at which we sell services to the public sector. We anticipate that the public sector revenues will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future.
Construction Contract Revenue and Fees. We have no construction contracts currently in process. We recognized $1.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 related to one construction contract completed during that period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2004, we also collected management fees from TECOTA, the entity that then owned the building in which the NAP of the Americas is located, equal to approximately $145,000. These management fees eliminate in consolidation in the current period due to the acquisition of TECOTA on December 31, 2004.

Data Center Operations Expenses. Excluding $7.4 million in costs incurred related to technology infrastructure build-outs, data center expenses increased $7.1 million to $27.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $20.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. Data center operations expenses consist mainly of operations personnel, procurement of connectivity and equipment, technical and colocation space rental, electricity and chilled water, insurance and property taxes, and security services. The increase is the result of an increase of $4.5 million in managed services costs, $2.6 million in personnel costs, $1.8 million in TECOTA facility costs, $1.0 million in electricity and chilled water costs, and $625,000 in equipment maintenance costs, offset by a decrease of $2.1 million in technical and co-location space costs.
The increase in managed service costs include a $1.9 million increase in the procurement of connectivity and a $1.1 million increase in the cost of equipment resales. The increase in connectivity costs is mainly due to an increase in revenues from managed services and new bandwidth costs for interconnecting our Internet exchange point facilities. The remainder of the increase is primarily the result of an increase in orders from both existing and new customers as reflected by the growth in our customer count and utilization of space as discussed above. The increase in personnel costs is mainly due to an increase in operations and engineering staff levels. Our staff levels increased to 162 employees as of December 31, 2005 from 118 as of December 31, 2004. The increase in the number of employees is mainly attributable to the hiring of personnel to work under existing and anticipated government contracts, the expansion of operations in the Madrid NAP, the Brazil NAP and NAP-West, and the acquisition of Dedigate. The increase in power and chilled water costs is mainly due an increase in power utilization and chilled water consumption as a result of customer and colocation space growth.
The decrease in technical and co-location space costs is the result of the elimination of $2.8 million in technical space rental costs as a result of the acquisition of TECOTA, offset by the cost of new leases in Madrid, Frankfurt, London, Herndon (Virginia), Hong Kong and Singapore. We also have new leases in Gent and Amsterdam as a result of the acquisition of Dedigate.
Construction Contract Expenses. There was no construction activity during the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Construction contract expenses were $1.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $500,000 to $11.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $10.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, professional service fees, travel, rent, and other general corporate expenses. This increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $863,000 in professional fees. The increase in professional services is mainly due to additional audit and consulting fees resulting from our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance work efforts. Going forward, we expect our accounting and consulting fees, and general and administrative expenses, to remain stable as we enter into our second year of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.7 million to $6.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $3.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The most significant components of sales and marketing are payroll, sales commissions and promotional activities. Payroll increased $2 million mainly due to increased staff levels. Our sales and marketing staff levels increased to 43 employees as of December 31, 2005 from 27 as of December 31, 2004. A new advertising campaign resulted in an increase of approximately $643,000 in marketing expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.3 million to $6.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from $3.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase is mainly due to the acquisition of TECOTA, the entity that owns the building that houses the NAP of the Americas.

Change in Fair Value of Derivatives Embedded within Convertible Debt. Our 9% senior convertible notes due June 15, 2009 contain embedded derivatives that require separate valuation from the senior convertible notes. We recognize these embedded derivatives as a liability in our balance sheet, measure them at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative instruments in earnings. We estimated that the embedded derivatives had a March 31, 2005 estimated fair value of $20.1 million and a December 31, 2005 estimated fair value of $11.6 million. The embedded derivatives derive their value primarily based on changes in the price and volatility of our common stock. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives increases as the price of our common stock increases and decreases as the price of our common stock decreases. The closing price of our common stock decreased to $4.65 on December 31, 2005 from $6.50 as of March 31, 2005. As a result, during the nine months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized a gain of $8.5 million from the change in estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. Over the life of the senior convertible notes, given the historical volatility of our common stock, changes in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are expected to have a material effect on our results of operations. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” Furthermore, we have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a theoretical model based on the historical volatility of our common stock of (77% as of December 31, 2005) over the past twelve months. If a market develops for our senior convertible notes or we are able to find comparable market data, we may be able to use future market data to adjust our historical volatility by other factors such as trading volume. As a result, the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives could be significantly different. Any such adjustment would be made prospectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2004, we recognized a gain of $14.3 million due to the change in value of our embedded derivatives.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $9.2 million from $9.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 to $18.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. This increase is mainly due to additional debt incurred, including our mortgage loan, our senior secured notes and our senior convertible notes.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $1.0 million from approximately $331,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 to $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to available cash balances as a result of the March 14, 2005 sale of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Net Loss. Net loss for our reportable segments was as follows:

Excluding the change in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives of approximately $8.5 million, the net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $23.8 million. The net loss from data center operations is primarily the result of insufficient revenues to cover our operating and interest expenses. We will generate net losses until we reach required levels of monthly revenues.

Data center revenue | $ | 18,881,744 | 100% | $ | 18,319,711 | 100% | ||||||||||
The increase in data center revenues is mainly due to an increase in our deployed customer base and an expansion of services to existing customers. The increase in revenue from colocation and managed and professional services was primarily the result of growth in our deployed customer base from 169 customers as of December 31, 2004 to 408 customers as of December 31, 2005. Included in revenues and customer count are the results of Dedigate which we acquired on August 5, 2005. Data center revenues consist of:
• | colocation services, such as leasing of space and provisioning of power; | |
• | exchange point services, such as peering and cross connects; and | |
• | managed and professional services, such as network management, managed web hosting, outsourced network operating center (NOC) services, network monitoring, procurement and installation of equipment and procurement of connectivity, managed router services, technical support and consulting. |
Our utilization of total net colocation space increased to 11.8% as of December 31, 2005 from 7.7% as of December 31, 2004. Our utilization of total net colocation space represents the percentage of space billed versus total space available for customers. On December 31, 2004, we purchased TECOTA, the entity that owns the 750,000 square foot building in which the NAP of the Americas is housed. Prior to this acquisition, we leased 240,000 square feet of the building. For comparative purposes, total space available to customers includes our estimate of space available to customers in the entire building for both December 31, 2005 and 2004.
The increase in managed and professional services is mainly due to increases of approximately $2.0 million in managed services provided under government contracts and $2.0 million in managed services generated by Dedigate, N.V., a privately held European managed dedicated hosting provider acquired in August 2005. We also earned $3.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 for professional services related to a feasibility study and a network engineering study. The remainder of the increase is primarily the result of an increase in orders from both existing and new customer growth as reflected in the growth of our customer count and the utilization of space as discussed above.

Table of Contents
The increase in exchange point services is mainly due to an increase in cross-connects billed to customers. Cross-connects billed to customers increased to 3,724 as of December 31, 2005 from 1,935 as of December 31, 2004.
We anticipate an increase in revenue from colocation, exchange point and managed services as we add more customers to our network of NAPs, sell additional services to existing customers and introduce new products and services. We anticipate that the percentage of revenue derived from the public sector customers will fluctuate depending on the timing of exercise of expansion options under existing contracts and the rate at which we sell services to the public sector. The remainder of the increase is primarily the result of an increase in orders from both existing and new customer growth as reflected in the growth in our customer count and utilization of space as discussed above.
Construction Contract Revenue and Fees. We have no construction contracts currently in process. We recorded $188,000 of construction contract revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2004 relating to one construction contract completed in that period. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, we also collected monthly management fees equal to $54,000, from TECOTA, the entity that then owned the building in which the NAP of the Americas is located. These management fees eliminate in consolidation in the current period due to the acquisition of TECOTA on December 31, 2004.
Data Center Operations Expenses. Excluding $7.4 million in costs incurred related to technology infrastructure build-outs during the period ended December 31, 2004, data center expenses increased $3.5 million to $11.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Data center operations expenses consist mainly of operations personnel, procurement of connectivity and equipment, technical and colocation space rental, electricity and chilled water, insurance and property taxes, and security services. The increase in total data center operations expenses is the result of an increase of approximately $2.1 million in managed service costs, $846,000 increase in property taxes, $612,000 in personnel costs, $413,000 in electricity and chilled water costs, $358,000 in equipment maintenance costs, offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in technical and colocation space costs.
The increase in managed service costs includes an increase of approximately $460,000 in the procurement of connectivity and an increase of approximately $455,000 in the cost of equipment resales. The increase in connectivity costs is mainly due to an increase in revenues from managed services and new bandwidth costs for interconnecting our Internet exchange point facilities. The remainder of the increase is primarily the result of an increase in orders from both existing and new customers as reflected by the growth in our customer count and utilization of space as discussed above. The increase in property taxes is due to a higher property value assessment. The increase in personnel costs is mainly due to an increase in operations and engineering staff levels. Our staff levels increased to 162 employees as of December 31, 2005 from 118 as of December 31, 2004. The increase in the number of employees is mainly attributable to the hiring of personnel to work under existing and anticipated government contracts, the expansion of operations in the Madrid NAP, Brazil NAP and NAP-West, and the acquisition of Dedigate. The increase in power and chilled water as well as equipment maintenance costs is mainly due an increase in power utilization and chilled water consumption as a result of customer and colocation space growth.
The decrease in colocation and technical space rental costs is the result of the elimination of technical space rental costs as a result of the acquisition of TECOTA, offset by the cost of new leases in Madrid, Frankfurt, London, Herndon (Virginia), Hong Kong and Singapore. We also have new leases in Gent and Amsterdam as a result of the acquisition of Dedigate.
Construction Contract Expenses. There was no construction activity during the three months ended December 31, 2005. Construction contract expenses were approximately $180,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $200,000 to $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $3.5 million for the three
26
Table of Contents
months ended December 31, 2004. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, professional service fees, facility fees, travel, and other general corporate expenses. Going forward, we expect our accounting and consulting fees, and general and administrative expenses, to remain stable as we complete our second year of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The average number of administrative employees increased from 55 employees as of December 31, 2004 to 61 as of December 31, 2005.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $900,000 to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The most significant components of sales and marketing are payroll, sales commissions and promotional activities. Payroll and commissions increased approximately $700,000 mainly due to increased staff levels. Our sales and marketing staff levels increased to 43 employees as of December 31, 2005 from 27 as of December 31, 2004. A new advertising campaign resulted in an increase of approximately $227,000 in marketing expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.0 million to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase is mainly due to the acquisition of TECOTA, the entity that owns the building that houses the NAP of the Americas.
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives Embedded within Convertible Debt. Our 9% senior convertible notes due June 15, 2009 contain embedded derivatives that require separate valuation from the senior convertible notes. We recognize these embedded derivatives as a liability in our balance sheet, measure them at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative instruments in earnings. We estimated that the embedded derivatives had a September 30, 2005 estimated fair value of $10.2 million and a December 31, 2005 estimated fair value of $11.6 million. The embedded derivatives derive their value primarily based on changes in the price and volatility of our common stock. The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives increases as the price of our common stock increases and decreases as the price of our common stock decreases. The closing price of our common stock increased to $4.65 on December 31, 2005 from $4.39 as of September 30, 2005. As a result, during the three months ended December 31, 2005, we recognized a loss of $1.4 million from the change in estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. Over the life of the senior convertible notes, given the historical volatility of our common stock, changes in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are expected to have a material effect on our results of operations. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” Furthermore, we have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using a theoretical model based on the historical volatility of our common stock of (77% as of December 31, 2005) over the past three months. If a market develops for our senior convertible notes or we are able to find comparable market data, we may be able to use in the future market data to adjust our historical volatility by other factors such as trading volume. As a result, the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives could be significantly different. Any such adjustment would be made prospectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, we recognized a gain of approximately $664,000 due to the change in value of our embedded derivatives.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.3 million from $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $6.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This increase is mainly due to additional debt incurred, including our mortgage loan, our senior secured notes and our senior convertible notes.
Interest Income. Interest income increased approximately $326,000 from approximately $135,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $461,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to available cash balances as a result of the March 14, 2005 sale of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Excluding the change in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives of approximately $1.4 million, the net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $6.4 million. The net loss from data center operations is primarily the result of insufficient revenues to cover our operating and interest expenses. We will generate net losses until we reach required levels of monthly revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity |
We have incurred losses from operations in each quarter and annual period since our merger with AmTec, Inc. Although cash used in operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $12.4 million and $13.5 million, respectively, our loss from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $489,000 and the cash used in operations was approximately $800,000. As of December 31, 2005, our total liabilities were approximately $169.5 million.
As of December 31, 2005, our principal source of liquidity was our $22.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. We anticipate that this cash, coupled with our anticipated cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our capital expenditures, working capital, debt service and corporate overhead requirements in connection with our currently identified business objectives. Our projected revenues and cash flows depend on several factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the rate at which we provide services, the timing of exercise of expansion options by customers under existing contracts, the rate at which new services are sold to the government sector and the commercial sector, the ability to retain the customer base, the willingness and timing of potential customers in outsourcing the housing and management of their technology infrastructure to us, the reliability and cost-effectiveness of our services and our ability to market our services.
Indebtedness |
On December 31, 2004, we purchased the remaining 99.16% equity interests of TECOTA that were not owned by us and TECOTA became our wholly-owned subsidiary. TECOTA owns the building in which the NAP of the Americas is housed. Throughout this report, we refer to this building as the NAP of the Americas building. In connection with this purchase, we paid approximately $40.0 million for the equity interests and repaid an approximately $35.0 million mortgage to which the NAP of the Americas building was subject. We financed the purchase and repayment of the mortgage from two sources. We obtained a $49.0 million first mortgage loan from Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., $4.0 million of the proceeds of which are restricted and can only be used to fund customer related improvements made to the NAP of the Americas in Miami. Simultaneously, we issued senior secured notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $30.0 million and sold 306,044 shares of our common stock valued at $2.0 million to the Falcon investors. The $49.0 million loan by Citigroup is collateralized by a first mortgage on the NAP of the Americas building and a security interest in all then existing building improvements that we have made to the building, certain of our deposit accounts and any cash flows generated from customers by virtue of their activity at the NAP of the Americas building. The mortgage loan matures in February 2009 and bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) 6.75% or (b) LIBOR plus 4.75% (9.59% as of December 31, 2005). In addition, if an event of default occurs under the mortgage loan agreement, we must pay interest at a default rate equal to 5% per annum in excess of
28
Table of Contents
the rate otherwise applicable under the mortgage loan agreement on any amount we owe to the lenders but have not paid when due until that amount is paid in full. The terms of the mortgage loan agreement require us to pay annual rent of $5,668,992 to TECOTA until May 31, 2006 at which time we will be required to pay annual rent to TECOTA at previously agreed upon rental rates for the remaining term of the lease. The senior secured notes are collateralized by substantially all of our assets other than the NAP of the Americas building, including the equity interests in our subsidiaries, bear cash interest at 9.875% per annum and “payment in kind” interest at 3.625% per annum, and mature in March 2009. In the event we achieve specified leverage ratios, the interest rate applicable to the senior secured notes will be reduced to 12.5% but will be payable in cash only. Overdue payments under the senior secured notes bear interest at a default rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest then borne by the senior secured notes. Our obligations under the senior secured notes are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries.
We may redeem some or all of the senior secured notes for cash at any time. If we redeem the notes during the twelve month period commencing on December 31, 2005 or the six month period commencing on December 31, 2006, June 30, 2007, or December 31, 2007, the redemption price equals 115.0%, 107.5%, 105.0%, and 102.3%, respectively, of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. After June 30, 2008, the redemption price equals 100% of their principal amounts. Also, if there is a change in control, the holders of these notes will have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Our mortgage loan and our senior secured notes include numerous covenants imposing significant financial and operating restrictions on our business. The covenants place restrictions on our ability to, among other things:
• | incur more debt; | |
• | pay dividends, redeem or repurchase our stock or make other distributions; | |
• | make acquisitions or investments; | |
• | enter into transactions with affiliates; | |
• | merge or consolidate with others; | |
• | dispose of assets or use asset sale proceeds; | |
• | create liens on our assets; and | |
• | extend credit. |
Also, a change in control without the prior consent of the lenders could allow the lenders to demand repayment of the loan. Our ability to comply with these and other provisions of the mortgage loan and the senior secured notes can be affected by events beyond our control. Our failure to comply with the obligations in the mortgage loan and the senior secured notes could result in an event of default under the mortgage loan and the senior secured notes, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of the indebtedness or other indebtedness which could have a material adverse effect on us.
In June 2004, we privately placed $86.25 million in aggregate principal amount of 9% senior convertible notes due June 15, 2009 to qualified institutional buyers. The notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable semi-annually, on each December 15 and June 15 and are convertible at the option of the holders at $12.50 per share. We utilized net proceeds of $81.0 million to pay approximately $46.3 million of outstanding loans and convertible debt. The balance of the proceeds are being used for acquisitions and for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. The notes rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and rank junior to any future secured indebtedness.

Table of Contents
If there is a change in control, the holders of the 9% senior convertible notes have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If a change of control occurs and at least 50% of the consideration for our common stock consists of cash, the holders of the 9% senior convertible notes may elect to receive the greater of the repurchase price described above or the total redemption amount. The total redemption amount will be equal to the product of (x) the average closing prices of our common stock for the five trading days prior to the announcement of the change of control and (y) the quotient of $1,000 divided by the applicable conversion price of the 9% senior convertible notes, plus a make-whole premium of $135 per $1,000 of principal if the change of control takes place before June 15, 2006, reducing to $45 per $1,000 of principal if the change of control takes place between June 16, 2008 and December 15, 2008. If we issue a cash dividend on our common stock, we will pay contingent interest to the holders equal to the product of the per share cash dividend and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each holder’s note.
We may redeem some or all of the 9% senior convertible notes for cash at any time on or after June 15, 2007 if the closing price of our common shares has exceeded 200% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day before the date we mail the redemption notice. If we redeem the 9% senior convertible notes during the twelve month period commencing on June 15, 2007 or 2008, the redemption price equals 104.5% or 102.25%, respectively, of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus an amount equal to 50% of all remaining scheduled interest payments on the 9% senior convertible notes from, and including, the redemption date through the maturity date.
The 9% senior convertible notes contain an early conversion incentive for holders to convert their notes into shares of common stock before June 15, 2007. If exercised, the holders will receive the number of shares of our common stock to which they are entitled and an early conversion incentive payment in cash or stock, at our option, equal to one-half the aggregate amount of interest payable through July 15, 2007.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Cash used in operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $12.4 million and $13.5 million, respectively. We used cash to primarily fund our net loss, including cash interest payments on our debt.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was $4.3 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $87.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $82.9 million. This decrease is primarily due to the payments made in connection with the acquisitions of NAP Madrid and TECOTA in 2004.
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 was $5.0 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $112.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $107.2 million. For the nine months ended December 31, 2005, cash used in financing activities included $4.7 million of loan payments. For the nine months ended December 31, 2004, cash provided by financing activities includes proceeds aggregating $165.3 million from a new mortgage loan, the issuance of warrants, the senior secured notes and the senior convertible notes partially offset by $46.6 million in payments for loans and convertible debt.
Guarantees and Commitments
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. has guaranteed TECOTA’s obligation, as borrower, to make payments of principal and interest under the mortgage loan with Citigroup Global Markets Realty Group to the extent any of the following events shall occur:
• | TECOTA files for bankruptcy or a petition in bankruptcy is filed against TECOTA with TECOTA’s or Terremark’s consent; |

Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of stock-based compensation, such as employee stock purchase plans and restricted stock awards. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation awards must meet certain criteria in order for the award to qualify for equity classification. An award that does not meet those criteria will be classified as liability and be remeasured each period. SFAS No. 123(R) retains the requirements on accounting for the income tax effects of stock-based compensation contained in SFAS No. 123; however, it changes how excess tax benefits will be presented in the statement of cash flows. In addition, in March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”), which offers guidance on SFAS No. 123(R).
SAB No. 107 was issued to assist preparers by simplifying some of the implementation challenges of SFAS No. 123(R) while enhancing the information that investors receive. Key topics of SAB No. 107 include discussion on the valuation models available to preparers and guidance on key assumptions used in these valuation models, such as expected volatility and expected term, as well as guidance on accounting for the income tax effects of SFAS No. 123(R) and disclosure considerations, among other topics. SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 were effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005; however, in April 2005, the SEC approved a new rule that SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 are now effective for public companies for annual, rather than interim, periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We are currently considering the financial accounting, income tax and internal control implications of SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) and SAB No. 107 are expected to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, and an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. It eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets contained in APB Opinion No. 29 and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of an entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. As the provisions of SFAS No. 153 are to be applied prospectively, the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will not have an impact on our historical financial statements; however, we will assess the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on any future nonmonetary transactions that we enter into, if any.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN No. 47”). FIN No. 47 clarifies that the term, conditional retirement obligation, as used in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN No. 47 further clarifies that the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement and provides guidance on how an entity might reasonably estimate the fair value of such a conditional asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN No. 47 is not expected to have an impact, if any, on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination” (“EITF 05-6”). EITF 05-6 addresses the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of a lease term. EITF 05-6 states that (i) leasehold improvements acquired
32
Table of Contents
in a business combination should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of acquisition and (ii) leasehold improvements that are placed into service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. EITF 05-6 is effective for leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a significant impact, if any, on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), which will require entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. SFAS No. 154 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (“APB No. 20”), which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. Another significant change in practice under SFAS No. 154 will be that if an entity changes its method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets, the change must be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Under APB No. 20, such a change would have been reported as a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In September 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05–7, “Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Securities and Related Issues” (“EITF 05–7”). EITF 05–7 addresses that the change in the fair value of an embedded conversion option upon modification should be included in the analysis under EITF Issue 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” to determine whether a modification or extinguishment has occurred and that changes to the fair value of a conversion option affects the interest expense on the associated debt instrument following a modification. Therefore, the change in fair value of the conversion option should be recognized upon the modification as a discount or premium associated with the debt, and an increase or decrease in additional paid-in capital. EITF 05–7 is effective for all debt modifications in annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05–7 is not expected to have an impact, if any, on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2005, the FASB approved EITF Issue 05–8, “Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a Beneficial Conversion Feature” (“EITF 05–8”). EITF 05–8 addresses that (i) the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature creates a difference between the book basis and tax basis (“basis difference”) of a convertible debt instrument, (ii) that basis difference is a temporary difference for which a deferred tax liability should be recorded and (iii) the effect of recognizing the deferred tax liability should be charged to equity in accordance with SFAS No. 109. EITF 05–8 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and must be adopted through retrospective application to all periods presented. As a result, EITF 05–8 applies to debt instruments that were converted or extinguished in prior periods as well as to those currently outstanding. The adoption of EITF 05–8 is not expected to have an impact, if any, on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Other Factors Affecting Operating Results
We have a history of losses, expect future losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability. |
We have incurred net losses from operations in each quarterly and annual period since our April 28, 2000 merger with AmTec, Inc. We incurred net losses of $9.9 million, $22.5 million and $41.2 million for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and incurred a loss from operations of
33
Table of Contents
$7.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, our accumulated deficit was $262.0 million. We cannot guarantee that we will become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, given the evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise additional funds.
We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. |
Our products and services must be able to differentiate themselves from existing providers of space and services for telecommunications companies, web hosting companies and other colocation providers. In addition to competing with neutral colocation providers, we must compete with traditional colocation providers, including local phone companies, long distance phone companies, Internet service providers and web hosting facilities. Likewise, with respect to our other products and services, including managed services, bandwidth services and security services, we must compete with more established providers of similar services. Most of these companies have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us.
Because of their greater financial resources, some of our competitors have the ability to adopt aggressive pricing policies, especially if they have been able to restructure their debt or other obligations. As a result, in the future, we may suffer from pricing pressure that would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, these competitors could offer colocation on neutral terms, and may start doing so in the same metropolitan areas where we have NAP centers. Some of these competitors may also provide our target customers with additional benefits, including bundled communication services, and may do so in a manner that is more attractive to our potential customers than obtaining space in our IBX centers. We believe our neutrality provides us with an advantage over these competitors. However, if these competitors were able to adopt aggressive pricing policies together with offering colocation space, our ability to generate revenues would be materially adversely affected. We may also face competition from persons seeking to replicate our IBX concept by building new centers or converting existing centers that some of our competitors are in the process of divesting. We may experience competition from our landlords in this regard. Rather than leasing available space in our buildings to large single tenants, they may decide to convert the space instead to smaller square foot units designed for multi-tenant colocation use. Landlords may enjoy a cost effective advantage in providing similar services as our NAPs, and this could also reduce the amount of space available to us for expansion in the future. Competitors may operate more successfully or form alliances to acquire significant market share. Furthermore, enterprises that have already invested substantial resources in outsourcing arrangements may be reluctant or slow to adopt our approach that may replace, limit or compete with their existing systems. In addition, other companies may be able to attract the same potential customers that we are targeting. Once customers are located in competitors’ facilities, it may be extremely difficult to convince them to relocate to our NAP centers.
Our success in retaining key employees and discouraging them from moving to a competitor is an important factor in our ability to remain competitive. As is common in our industry, our employees are typically compensated through grants of stock options in addition to their regular salaries. We occasionally grant new stock options to employees as an incentive to remain with us. If we are unable to adequately maintain these stock option incentives and should employees decide to leave, this may be disruptive to our business and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We anticipate that an increasing portion of our revenues will be from contracts with agencies of the United States government, and uncertainties in government contracts could adversely affect our business. |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and the quarter ended December 31, 2005, revenues under contracts with agencies of the U.S. federal government constituted 23% and 27% of our data center revenues, respectively. Generally, U.S. government contracts are subject to oversight audits by government representatives, to profit and cost controls and limitations, and to provisions permitting modification or termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the government’s convenience. In some cases,
34
Table of Contents
government contracts are subject to the uncertainties surrounding congressional appropriations or agency funding. Government contracts are subject to specific procurement regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracting for a period of time, which could limit our growth prospects and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Government contracts typically have an initial term of one year. Renewal periods are exercisable at the discretion of the U.S. government. We may not be successful in winning contract awards or renewals in the future. Our failure to renew or replace U.S. government contracts when they expire could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a few clients; accordingly, a reduction in our clients’ demand for our services or the loss of clients would likely impair our financial performance. |
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we derived approximately 16% and 10% of our data center revenues from two customers. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, we derived approximately 43% and 15% of our data center revenues from two customers. Because we derive a large percentage of our revenues from a few major customers, our revenues could significantly decline if we lose one or more of these customers or if the amount of business we obtain from them is reduced.
We have significant debt service obligations which will require the use of a substantial portion of our available cash. |
We are a highly leveraged company. As of December 31, 2005, our total liabilities were approximately $169.5 million and our total stockholders’ equity was $35.0 million. Our mortgage loan and our senior secured notes are, collectively, collateralized by substantially all of our assets. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Each of these obligations requires significant amounts of liquidity. Should we need additional capital or financing, our ability to arrange financing and the cost of this financing will depend upon many factors, including:
• | general economic and capital markets conditions, and in particular the non-investment grade debt market; | |
• | conditions in the Internet infrastructure market; | |
• | credit availability from banks or other lenders; | |
• | investor confidence in the telecommunications industry generally and our company specifically; and | |
• | the success of our facilities. |
We may be unable to find additional sources of liquidity on terms acceptable to us, if at all, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, a default could result in acceleration of our indebtedness. If this occurs, our business and financial condition would be adversely affected.
The mortgage loan with Citigroup and our senior secured notes contain numerous restrictive covenants. |
Our mortgage loan with Citigroup and our senior secured notes contain numerous covenants imposing restrictions on our ability to, among other things:
• | incur more debt; | |
• | pay dividends, redeem or repurchase our stock or make other distributions; | |
• | make acquisitions or investments; | |
• | enter into transactions with affiliates; |
35
Table of Contents
• | merge or consolidate with others; | |
• | dispose of assets or use asset sale proceeds; | |
• | create liens on our assets; and | |
• | extend credit. |
Our failure to comply with the obligations in our mortgage loan with Citigroup and our senior secured notes could result in an event of default under the mortgage loan or the senior secured notes, which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of the indebtedness or our other indebtedness, or result in the same consequences as a default in payment. If the acceleration of the maturity of our debt occurs, we may not be able to repay our debt or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it on terms that are acceptable to us, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our substantial leverage and indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition, limit our growth and prevent us from fulfilling our debt obligations. |
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to us and may, among other things:
• | limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our growth strategy, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes; | |
• | limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to make principal payments and fund debt service requirements; | |
• | cause us to be unable to satisfy our obligations under our existing or new debt agreements; | |
• | make us more vulnerable to adverse general economic and industry conditions; | |
• | limit our ability to compete with others who are not as highly leveraged as we are; and | |
• | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, industry and market conditions. |
In addition, subject to restrictions in our existing debt instruments, we may incur additional indebtedness. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify. Our growth plans and our ability to make payments of principal or interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness, will depend on our future operating performance and our ability to enter into additional debt and/or equity financings. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows in the future to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, to sell assets or to obtain additional financing. We may not be able to do any of the foregoing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that may prevent us from being able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which could harm our business and operating results, the trading price of our stock and our access to capital. |
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable and accurate financial reports and prevent fraud. In addition, Section 404 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we assess, and our independent registered public accounting firm attest to, the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot provide reliable and accurate financial reports and prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed. We identified material weaknesses in connection with our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting for the year ended March 31, 2005. Our efforts regarding internal controls are discussed in detail in this report under Item 4, “Controls and Procedures.” Our remedial measures may not be sufficient to ensure that we design, implement, and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting to eliminate these material weaknesses in the future. Remedying the material weaknesses that have been identified, and any additional deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that we or our independent registered public accounting firm may identify in the future, could require us to incur additional costs, divert management
36
Table of Contents
resources or make other changes. We have not yet fully remediated the material weaknesses related to maintaining adequate controls to restrict access to key financial applications and data, controls over custody and processing of disbursements and of customer payments received by mail; controls over the billing function to ensure that invoices capture all services delivered to customers and that such services are invoiced and recorded accurately as revenue; and controls over the accounting for and calculation of earnings per share after considering the impact of the embedded derivatives within our Senior Convertible Notes. If we do not remedy these material weaknesses, we may be required to continue to report in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting continue to exist. Any delay or failure to design and implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or operation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, or prevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. Disclosure of our material weaknesses, any failure to remediate such material weaknesses in a timely fashion or having or maintaining ineffective internal controls could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock and our access to capital.
If our financial condition deteriorates, we may be delisted by the American Stock Exchange and our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our common stock. |
Our common stock currently trades on the American Stock Exchange, or AMEX. The AMEX requires companies to fulfill specific requirements in order for their shares to continue to be listed. Our securities may be considered for delisting if:
• | our financial condition and operating results appear to be unsatisfactory; | |
• | we have sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to our overall operations or our existing financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable whether we will be able to continue operations and/or meet our obligations as they mature. |
If our shares are delisted from the AMEX, our stockholders could find it difficult to sell our stock. To date, we have had no communication from the AMEX regarding delisting. If our common stock is delisted from the AMEX, we may apply to have our shares quoted on NASDAQ’s Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets” maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. The Bulletin Board and the “pink sheets” are generally considered to be less efficient markets than the AMEX. In addition, if our shares are no longer listed on the AMEX or another national securities exchange in the United States, our shares may be subject to the “penny stock” regulations. If our common stock were to become subject to the penny stock regulations it is likely that the price of our common stock would decline and our stockholders would find it difficult to sell their shares.
We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our success. |
We are highly dependent on the skills, experience and services of key personnel, particularly Manuel D. Medina, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of Mr. Medina or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. Our potential growth and expansion are expected to place increased demands on our management skills and resources. Therefore, our success also depends upon our ability to recruit, hire, train and retain additional skilled and experienced management personnel. Employment and retention of qualified personnel is important due to the competitive nature of our industry. Our inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could impair our ability to manage and operate our business effectively.
Our business could be harmed by prolonged electrical power outages or shortages, or increased costs of energy. |
Substantially all of our business is dependent upon the continued operation of the NAP of the Americas building. The NAP of the Americas building and our other IX facilities are susceptible to
37
Table of Contents
regional costs of power, electrical power shortages and planned or unplanned power outages caused by these shortages. A power shortage at an IX facility may result in an increase of the cost of energy, which we may not be able to pass on to our customers. We attempt to limit exposure to system downtime by using backup generators and power supplies. Power outages, which last beyond our backup and alternative power arrangements, could harm our customers and our business.
We have acquired and may acquire other businesses, and these acquisitions involve numerous risks. |
As part of our strategy, we may pursue additional acquisitions of complementary businesses, products services and technologies to enhance our existing services, expand our service offerings and enlarge our customer base. If we complete future acquisitions, we may be required to incur or assume additional debt and make capital expenditures and issue additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock as consideration, which will dilute our existing stockholders’ ownership interest and may adversely affect our results of operations. Our ability to grow through acquisitions involves a number of additional risks, including the following:
• | the ability to identify and consummate complementary acquisition candidates; | |
• | the possibility that we may not be able to successfully integrate the operations, personnel, technologies, products and services of the acquired companies in a timely and efficient manner; | |
• | diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations to negotiate acquisitions and integrate acquired businesses; | |
• | insufficient revenues to offset significant unforeseen costs and increased expenses associated with the acquisitions; | |
• | challenges in completing products associated with in-process research and development being conducted by the acquired businesses; | |
• | risks associated with our entrance into markets in which we have little or no prior experience and where competitors have a stronger market presence; | |
• | deferral of purchasing decisions by current and potential customers as they evaluate the likelihood of success of our acquisitions; | |
• | issuance by us of equity securities that would dilute ownership of our existing stockholders; | |
• | incurrence and/or assumption of significant debt, contingent liabilities and amortization expenses; and | |
• | loss of key employees of the acquired companies. |
Failure to manage effectively our growth through acquisitions could adversely affect our growth prospects, business, results of operations and financial condition.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. |
We have not entered into any financial instruments for trading purposes. However, the estimated fair value of the derivatives embedded within our 9% senior convertible notes creates a market risk exposure resulting from changes in the price of our common stock. These embedded derivatives derive their value primarily based on the price and volatility of our common stock; however, we do not expect significant changes in the near term in the one-year historical volatility of our common stock used to calculate the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives. Other factors being equal, as of December 31, 2005, the table below provides information about the estimated fair value of the derivatives embedded within our
38
Table of Contents
senior convertible notes and the effect that changes in the price of our common stock are expected to have on the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives:
Estimated Fair Value of | ||||
Price per Share of Common Stock | Embedded Derivatives | |||
$1.00 | $ | 806,288 | ||
$2.00 | $ | 3,063,975 | ||
$4.00 | $ | 9,393,016 | ||
$6.00 | $ | 16,862,657 | ||
$8.00 | $ | 24,214,081 |
Our exposure to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates results from the variable rate of our mortgage loan, as an increase in interest rates would result in lower earnings and increased cash outflows. The interest rate on our mortgage loan is payable at variable rates indexed to LIBOR. The effect of each 1% increase in the LIBOR rate (4.34% at December 31, 2005) would result in an annual increase in interest expense of approximately $460,000. Based on the U.S. yield curve as of December 31, 2005 and other available information, we project interest expense on our variable rate debt to increase approximately $158,000, $162,000, $176,000 and $158,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. To partially mitigate the interest rate risk on our mortgage loan, we entered a rate cap protection agreement on December 31, 2004. The rate cap protection agreement capped at the following rates the $49.0 million mortgage payable for the four-year period for which the rate cap protection agreement is in effect:
• | 5.75% per annum through February 10, 2006; | |
• | 6.50% per annum, starting February 11, 2006; | |
• | 7.25% per annum, starting August 11, 2006; and | |
• | 7.72% per annum, starting February 11, 2007 until the termination date of the rate cap protection agreement. |
Our 9% senior convertible notes and our senior secured notes have fixed interest rates and, accordingly, are not exposed to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates. However, the fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. These interest rate changes may affect the fair market value of the fixed interest rate debt but do not impact our earnings or cash flows.
Our carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable approximations of their fair value.
As noted above, the estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives increases as the price of our common stock increases. These changes in estimated fair value will affect our results of operations but will not impact our cash flows.
To date, approximately 90% of our recognized revenue has been denominated in U.S. dollars, generated mostly from customers in the U.S., and our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations has been minimal. In the future, a larger portion of our revenues may be derived from operations outside of the U.S. and may be denominated in foreign currency. As a result, future operating results or cash flows could be impacted due to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
Furthermore, to the extent we engage in international sales that are denominated in U.S. dollars, an increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make our services less competitive in the international markets. Although we will continue to monitor our exposure to currency fluctuations, and when appropriate, may use financial hedging techniques in the future to minimize the effect of these fluctuations, we cannot conclude that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial results in the future.
39

Some of our operating costs are subject to price fluctuations caused by the volatility of underlying commodity prices. The commodity most likely to have an impact on our results of operations in the event of significant price change is electricity. We are closely monitoring the cost of electricity. To the extent that electricity costs rise, we have the ability to pass these additional power costs onto our customers that utilize this power. We do not employ forward contracts or other financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer carried out an assessment with the participation of our Disclosure Committee, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon, this assessment as of December 31, 2005, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the existence of the material weaknesses described below.
Our management and the Audit Committee do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control gaps and instances of fraud have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
(b) | Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
In connection with the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by Form 10-K/ A filed on August 5, 2005, Form 10-K/ A filed on August 17, 2005 and Form 10-K/ A filed on February 2, 2006, we determined that material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. These material weaknesses related to (i) maintaining adequate controls to restrict access to key financial applications and data, and controls over custody and processing of disbursements and of customer payments received by mail; (ii) controls over the billing function to ensure invoices capture all services delivered to customers and that such services are invoiced and recorded accurately as revenue; and (iii) controls over the accounting for and calculation of earnings per share after considering the impact of the embedded derivative with the senior convertible notes. We have not fully remediated these material weaknesses as we are still in the process of testing and assessing the results of the following remediation actions:
• | We have restricted access to key financial information systems and data, particularly for employees with purchase order approval and check signing authority. | |
• | We have segregated the custody of payments received by mail from the processing of customer payments and from reconciliation of bank accounts. | |
• | We have engaged additional accounting personnel with appropriate experience and qualifications to perform additional quality review procedures and have implemented the use of financial checklists |
40
Table of Contents
specific to the documentation and evaluation of the applicable accounting treatment for the calculation of earnings per share. | ||
• | We have upgraded our main financial information system to be able to effectively monitor activities of database and system administrators. | |
• | We have set up a lockbox with our bank and our customers are making payments directly to the lockbox. | |
• | We are integrating our customer contract and billing data in one database. We continue to work with an information technology consultant to assist us with this integration. |
Except for the remediation disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The continued implementation of the described initiatives is among our highest priorities. Our Audit Committee will continually assess the progress and sufficiency of these initiatives and we will make adjustments as and when necessary. As of the date of this report, our management believes that the plan outlined above, when completed, will remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described above.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in various legal actions and other claims. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and we may be unable to accurately predict the outcome of individual litigated matters. Some of these matters possibly may be decided unfavorably to us. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not be material.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
