Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE "Basic income (loss) per share" is determined by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. "Diluted income (loss) per share" includes the effects of potentially issuable common stock, but only if dilutive (i.e., a loss per share is never reduced). The treasury stock method, using the average price of the Company's common stock for the period, is applied to determine dilution from options and warrants. The if-converted method is used for convertible securities. Potentially dilutive common stock options and warrants that were excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share because their effect is antidilutive totaled 861,213 and 1,072,924 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 824,380 and 1,132,317 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. NOTE 3 - WARRANTS During the second quarter, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock to an investor relations consulting firm for services to be provided over one year. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrant, totaling $273,000, as a prepaid expense which will be amortized over the one-year service period on a straight-line basis. The Company also issued a warrant to purchase 36,590 shares of the Company's common stock to a marketing firm for services to be provided in the future. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrant, totaling $100,000, as a prepaid expense which will be expensed as services are provided. NOTE 4 - REPORTABLE SEGMENTS The Company has five reportable segments, or "business units": Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier ("ILEC"), Competitive Local Exchange Carrier ("CLEC"), Wireless, Direct, and Corporate. The Company measures its reportable business units based on revenue and costs directly related to each business unit. Substantially all of the Company's customers are in the United States. The Company's business units are segmented based on the type of customer each business unit serves. The ILEC, CLEC and Wireless business units address ILEC, CLEC and wireless carriers, respectively. The Direct business unit addresses sales, either directly or indirectly, to state and local government entities. The Corporate business unit captures costs that are not directly related to a specific Business Unit. These segments are managed separately because the nature of and resources used for each segment is unique. Revenue and costs are segregated in the Statement of Operations for the reportable segments. The Company does not segregate assets between the segments as it is impractical to do so. 6 For the Three Months Ending June 30: - ------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) ILEC CLEC WIRELESS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $7,111 $6,806 $1,710 $ 891 $ 1,034 $ 392 Direct costs 3,964 3,768 538 472 1,186 1,148 Sales and marketing 400 399 184 88 191 133 General and administrative -- -- -- -- -- -- Research and development 43 88 77 28 225 84 ------ ------ ------ ----- ------- ------- Total 4,407 4,255 799 588 1,602 1,365 Operating income (loss) 2,704 2,551 911 303 (568) (973) Other income, net -- -- -- -- -- -- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ------- Income (loss) before income taxes 2,704 2,551 911 303 (568) (973) Income tax benefit -- -- -- -- -- -- ------ ------ ------ ------- ------- ------- Net income (loss) from continuing operations before extraordinary item 2,704 2,551 911 303 (568) (973) Loss from operations of discontinued division, net of tax -- -- -- -- -- -- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ------- Net income (loss) $2,704 $2,551 $ 911 $ 303 ($ 568) ($ 973) ====== ====== ====== ===== ======= ======= -

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 Information for 1999 has been reclassified to reflect the realignment of various business units. Licenses and implementation services are now included in the ILEC Business Unit. ILEC, CLEC, Wireless and Direct were formerly included in Data Management Services. NOTE 4 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and No. 137 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 - An amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 137 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to financial quarters and financial years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not typically enter into arrangements that would fall under the scope of Statement No. 133 and thus, management believes that Statement No. 133 will not significantly affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 101 provides interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The accounting impact of SAB 101 is required to be determined no later than the Company's fourth fiscal quarter of 2000. If the Company determines that its revenue recognition policies must change to be in compliance with SAB 101, the implementation of SAB 101 will require the Company to restate all of its previously reported 2000 quarterly results to reflect a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as if SAB 101 had been implemented on January 1, 2000. The Company is currently reviewing SAB 101 to determine what impact, if any, the adoption of SAB 101 will have on its financial position and results of operations. FASB Interpretation No. 44 In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN No. 44"). FIN No. 44 clarifies the application of APB No. 25 for certain issues related to equity-based instruments issued to employees. FIN No. 44 is effective on July 1, 2000, except for certain transactions, and will be applied on a prospective basis. Management believes that FIN No. 44 will not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT MIGHT CAUSE SUCH A DIFFERENCE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED UNDER "ITEM 2A. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS" BELOW. Overview We are the leading provider of 9-1-1 data management services to ILECs, CLECs and wireless carriers in the United States. We manage the data that enables a 9-1-1 call to be routed to the appropriate public safety agency with accurate and timely information about the caller's identification and location. We were incorporated in July 1979 in the State of Colorado under the name Systems Concepts of Colorado, Inc. and were reincorporated in September 1993 in the State of Delaware under the name SCC Communications Corp. Prior to 1995, substantially all of our revenue was derived from the sale of software licenses and related implementation services to ILECs and public safety agencies. During 1994, we began investing in infrastructure to provide our 9-1-1 OSS solution to telephone operating companies seeking to outsource such operations. We signed our first 9-1-1 data management services contract in August 1994 and continue to add to the number of records under management. We began to recognize revenue from wireless carriers in the third quarter of 1997, and continue to increase the number of live wireless subscribers managed. In addition, we signed a contract with the General Services Commission of the State of Texas in November 1998, representing the first time that a state agency has endeavored to centralize 9-1-1 OSS and data management services with a neutral third party. Each of our Business Units provides an outsourcing solution for its respective customer bases' 9-1-1 data management. Revenue generally includes a non-recurring initial fee for the design and implementation of the solution, conversion of the customer's data to our systems, hiring and training of personnel, and other costs required to prepare for the processing of customer data. Non-recurring fees are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method over the period required to perform the tasks necessary to prepare for the processing of customer data. Our contracts also separately allow for a monthly service fee based on the number of subscriber records under management, which is recognized in the period in which the services are rendered. Related costs are expensed as they are incurred. We may also offer our customers enhanced products or services, for which revenue is recognized in the period that the work is performed. Our revenue breaks down as a percent of total revenue as follows: Three Months Six Months ------------ ----------- Ended June 30, Ended June 30, -------------- -------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- ILEC Business Unit 67% 83% 69% 85% CLEC Business Unit 16% 11% 17% 9% Wireless Business Unit 10% 5% 9% 5% Direct Business Unit 7% 1% 5% 1% During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, we recognized approximately 69% and 82%, respectively, of total revenue from Ameritech, BellSouth Inc. and U S WEST, each of which accounted for greater than 10% of our total revenue in such periods. As of December 31, 1999, we had net operating loss carryforwards of $11.2 million available to offset future net income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Since we expect to incur losses in the near term related to development costs for new commercial products, future taxable income may not be sufficient to realize additional deferred tax assets that will be created by the projected net operating losses. Consequently, we presently expect our statement of operations will not reflect tax benefits for projected operating losses to be incurred during 2000. In June 1997, we sold the net assets of our Premise Products Division. The sale of our Premise Products Division resulted in a net loss from the sale of $2.0 million. Net loss from operations of this division, net of tax, totaled $124,000 in the first six months of 1999, and is presented in our financial statements as loss from operations of discontinued division. This loss resulted from final closeout of unassigned contracts and the transition of customers to the company that acquired this division. 9 Historically, substantially all of our revenue has been generated from sales to customers in the United States. However, we have generated revenue in Canada and intend to enter additional international markets, which may require significant management attention and financial resources. International sales are subject to a variety of risks. See "Item 2A. Factors That May Affect Future Results." Our quarterly and annual operating results have varied significantly in the past. The variation in operating results will likely continue and may intensify. We believe that period to period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance. Our operating results may continue to fluctuate as a result of many factors, including the length of the sales cycles for new or existing customers, the size, timing or duration of significant customer contracts, fluctuations in number of subscriber records under management, timing or duration of service offerings, rate of adoption of wireless services by Public Safety Answering Points, efforts expended to accelerate the introduction of certain new products, our ability to hire, train and retain qualified personnel, increased competition, changes in operating expenses, changes in our strategy, the financial performance of our customers, changes in telecommunications legislation and regulations that may affect the competitive environment for our services, and general economic factors. Our contracts for 9-1-1 data management services generally include a separate non-recurring fee for the design and implementation of services, conversion of the customer's data to our systems, hiring and training of personnel, and other costs required to prepare for the processing of customer data, and therefore, we may recognize significantly increased revenue for a short period of time upon commencing services for a new customer. Our expense levels are based in significant part on our expectations regarding future revenue. Our revenue is difficult to forecast because the market for our services is evolving rapidly and the length of our sales cycle, the size and timing of significant customer contracts and license fees and the timing of recognition of non-recurring initial fees vary substantially among customers. Accordingly, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in revenue. Any significant shortfall could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We expect to incur expenses of approximately $10 million in 2000 for research, development and marketing to expand our product offerings. As of June 30, 2000 we have invested approximately $1.3 million. In addition, we hired additional employees in 1999 and year-to- date 2000, and expect to continue hiring additional employees during the remainder of 2000. We also began leasing office space in Texas in December 1999, from which we will perform some of our operations. We cannot assure you that we can report operating profits or that our investments in research and development will generate future revenue. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are currently reviewing the potential impact of adopting Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 101 provides interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in our financial statements. We are required to determine the potential impact of SAB 101 no later than fourth quarter of 2000. If we determine that our revenue recognition policies will need to be changed to be in compliance with SAB 101, we will be required to restate all of our previously reported 2000 quarterly results to reflect the cumulative change in accounting principle as if SAB 101 had been implemented on January 1, 2000. See "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements." Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Total Company Total revenue increased 29%, from $8.2 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2000. Total direct costs increased 26%, from $5.8 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2000, representing 70% and 69% of total revenue, respectively. ILEC Business Unit ILEC revenue increased 4%, from $6.8 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2000. ILEC subscribers under management grew to 84.4 million, an increase of 6% from June 30, 1999. The recurring portion of ILEC revenue increased 3% from the second quarter of 1999 to the same period in 2000. ILEC revenue increased due to an increase in the number of records under management and non-recurring fees recognized for enhanced services. ILEC direct costs increased 5%, from $3.8 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2000, representing 55% and 56% of ILEC revenue for such periods, respectively. Costs increased due to the hiring of additional systems operations staff and increased systems maintenance costs to accommodate growth. ILEC sales and marketing expenses of $399,000 in the second quarter of 1999 are comparable to the sales and marketing expenses of $400,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 6% of ILEC revenue for both periods. ILEC research and development costs decreased 51%, from $88,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to 10 $43,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 1% of ILEC revenue for both periods. ILEC research and development costs due to increased focus by the Company's software engineering staff on projects for other business units. CLEC Business Unit CLEC revenue increased 92%, from $891,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2000. CLEC revenue increased due to an increase in the number of records under management for new and existing customers and additional non-recurring revenue recognized on new customers signed in 2000. We now have 32 CLEC contracts, representing 4.1 million subscribers. Approximately 87% of CLEC revenue in the second quarter of 2000 was recurring. CLEC direct costs increased 14%, from $472,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $538,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 53% and 31% of CLEC revenue for such periods, respectively. The dollar increase in CLEC costs is due to the hiring of additional CLEC operations staff to assist with the continued growth in records under management. The percent decrease in CLEC costs is due mainly to volume efficiencies gained by the growth in records managed. CLEC sales and marketing expenses increased 109%, from $88,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $184,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 10% and 11% of CLEC revenue for such periods, respectively. The dollar increase in CLEC sales and marketing expenses is due to the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel to accommodate the growth in the CLEC Business Unit and increased direct marketing campaign costs. CLEC research and development costs increased 175%, from $28,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $77,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 3% and 5% of CLEC revenue for such periods, respectively. CLEC research and development costs increased due to the development of Local Number Portability (LNP) software applications. Wireless Business Unit Wireless revenue increased 164%, from $392,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2000. Wireless revenue increased due to one-time fees related to system capacity expansion to accommodate wireless carriers and an increase in the number of records under management. Wireless subscribers grew 94% from the first quarter of 2000 to 1.6 million. Public safety agency requests for wireless services increased 8% from the first quarter of 2000 to 3,530, covering approximately 18.3 million subscribers. We signed 3 new wireless contracts in the second quarter of 2000, bringing our total customers to 15. Our wireless customers represent approximately 33.3 million subscribers. Approximately 39% of wireless revenue in the second quarter of 2000 was non-recurring due to heavy implementation activity. Wireless costs increased 3%, from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2000, representing 293% and 115% of Wireless revenue for such periods, respectively. Costs increased due to the hiring of additional systems operations staff and increased systems maintenance and telephone line costs to accommodate growth. Wireless direct cost as a percentage of Wireless revenue decreased as the increase in subscribers managed grows to cover more of the infrastructure costs. Wireless sales and marketing expenses increased 44%, from $133,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $191,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 34% and 18% of Wireless revenue for such periods, respectively. The increase in Wireless sales and marketing expenses is due to the hiring of additional sales personnel in 2000. Wireless research and development costs increased 168% from $84,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $225,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 21% and 22% of Wireless revenue for such periods, respectively. Wireless research and development costs increased due to the development of improvements to our general wireless database application in 2000. Direct Business Unit Direct revenue increased from $100,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $701,000 in the second quarter of 2000. Direct revenue increased due to the transition of records in the State of Texas, fees recognized for enhanced services and recurring and non-recurring revenues related to our Emergency Warning and Evacuation (EWE) product. Both the Texas contract and EWE were launched in the beginning of 2000. The subscriber base in Texas increased to 5.0 million and EWE increased to 500,000. We now have five EWE customers. Based on results to date, we believe we may have as many as 6.0 million records live in Texas by the end of 2000. Direct costs increased from $402,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2000. Costs increased due to the additional personnel and system infrastructure needed to implement the State of Texas contract and to manage records that have been transitioned. In addition, we opened an office in Texas in late 1999 to supplement our operations. Direct sales and marketing expenses increased from $106,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $369,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 106% and 53% of Direct revenue for such periods, respectively. The increase in sales and 11 marketing costs is due to the hiring of additional sales personnel to support the State of Texas contract and EWE. Direct research and development costs decreased 10%, from $233,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $208,000 in the second quarter of 2000. Direct research and development costs decreased due to the reduction in EWE application development after the product was launched. Corporate Business Unit Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 69%, from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2000. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased due to the addition of corporate legal personnel and outside legal fees to address legislative and regulatory issues related to the Company's 9-1-1 SafteyNet Product and other offerings, the hiring of additional human resources staff to accommodate headcount growth in 2000, and corporate consulting costs. Corporate sales and marketing expenses increased 38%, from $695,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $961,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 8% and 9% in total revenue for such periods, respectively. Corporate sales and marketing expenses increased due to national tradeshow costs, direct marketing costs related to 9-1-1 SafetyNet, and public relations charges. Increase is partially offset by the reallocation of certain resources from marketing-related activities to legislative and regulatory affairs activities and the reduction in headcount for general corporate product marketing. Corporate research and development of $624,000 in the second quarter of 2000 represents labor and associated travel and consulting costs related to network architecture of our 9- 1-1 SafetyNet product offering. During the second quarter of 2000, we signed our first 9-1-1 SafetyNet customer. We currently estimate that our 9-1-1 SafetyNet product will begin to generate revenue in the first half of 2001. Net other income increased 85%, from $116,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to $215,000 in the second quarter of 2000, representing 1% and 2% of total revenue for such periods, respectively. Other income increased due to interest income earned from investments and the reduction in interest expense related to the repayment of certain capital leases. The benefit for income taxes decreased from $178,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to zero in the second quarter of 2000. We expect to incur losses in the near term related to development costs for new commercial products and future taxable income may not be sufficient to realize additional deferred tax assets that will be created by the projected net operating losses. Consequently, we presently expect our statement of operations will not reflect tax benefits for projected operating losses to be incurred during 2000. The loss from operations of discontinued division, net of tax, for the second quarter of 1999 of $15,000 represents the costs related to the final closeout of unassigned contracts related to our Premise Products division, which was sold in 1997, and the transition of customers to the company that acquired this division. Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Total Company Total revenue increased 26%, from $15.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $19.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Eighty- eight percent of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2000 was recurring.

The recurring portion of ILEC revenue, approximately 95%, increased 4% in the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 2000. ILEC revenue increased due to an increase in the number of records under management, offset by a decrease in non-recurring fees for enhanced services. ILEC direct costs increased 6%, from $7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $7.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 55% and 57% of ILEC revenue for such periods, respectively.

ILEC sales and marketing expenses decreased 13%, from $863,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $752,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 6% and 5% of ILEC revenue for such periods, respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing costs is due to a reduction in product management staff in late 1999 and early 2000. ILEC research and development costs decreased 9%, from $181,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $164,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 1% of ILEC revenue for both periods.

CLEC research and development costs increased 178%, from $58,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $161,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 4% and 5% of CLEC revenue for such periods, respectively. CLEC research and development costs increased due to the development of Local Number Portability (LNP) software applications. Wireless Business Unit Wireless revenue increased 103%, from $846,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Wireless research and development costs increased due to the development of improvements to our general wireless database application in 2000. Direct Business Unit Direct revenue increased from $100,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $988,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Direct revenue increased due to the transition of records in the State of Texas beginning in 2000 and delivery of the EWE product offering. Direct costs increased from $762,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Costs increased due to the additional personnel and system infrastructure needed to implement the State of Texas contract and to manage records that have been transitioned. In addition, we opened an office in Texas in late 1999 to supplement our operations. Direct sales and marketing expenses increased from $156,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $682,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 156% and 69% of Direct revenue for such periods, respectively.

Direct research and development costs decreased due to the reduction in EWE application development in 2000 after the product was launched. Corporate Business Unit Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 48%, from $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000, representing 15% and 18% of total revenue for such period, respectively.

We expect to incur losses in the near term related to development costs for new commercial products and future taxable income may not be sufficient to realize additional deferred tax assets that will be created by the projected net operating losses. Consequently, we presently expect our statement of operations will not reflect tax benefits for projected operating losses to be incurred during 2000. The loss from operations of discontinued division, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 of $124,000 represents the costs related to the final closeout of unassigned contracts related to our Premise Products division, which was sold in 1997, and the transition of customers to the company that acquired this division. Liquidity and Capital Resources Since our inception we have funded our operations with cash provided by operations, supplemented by equity and debt financing and leases on capital equipment. As of June 30, 2000, we had $18.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities. We borrowed approximately $1.1 million under our capital lease line secured by capital equipment in the six months ended June 30, 2000, and repaid $1.0 million and $956,000 of capital lease obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Additionally, we used $2.1 million and $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, for the purchase of capital assets and software development. We anticipate that our level of spending for capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2000 will continue, although we currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We have a line of credit with a bank equal to $2.0 million, which is available to meet operating needs. The interest rate on amounts borrowed under the line of credit is equal to the bank's prime rate or the one, two or three month Libor rate plus 2.25% per annum. The line of credit matures April 15, 2001 and is collateralized by certain of our assets. As of June 30, 2000, no borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit. We also have a $2.0 million capital lease line with a bank, which is available to meet capital acquisition needs that arise from normal business operations. The interest rate on capital leased under the lease line is equal to the bank's cost of funds at the time of each lease. Separate lease schedules are signed from time to time. Each lease schedule is collateralized by the assets that are being leased. Each lease has its own termination date, typically 36 months. As of June 30, 2000, $1.7 million was outstanding on the capital lease line. We expect to incur research, development and marketing expenses of up to $10 million on our 9-1-1 SafetyNet product. This may require up to $13 million in cash due to the capital expenditure requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we incurred expense of approximately $1.3 million on this initiative. Although we believe that our current cash and investments, cash generated from operations and lease financing will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital needs, research and development initiative and capital expenditures for our core operations, we may seek to raise additional capital to expand our 9-1-1 SafetyNet product offering. We may seek a new capital lease line or other sources of debt or equity financing to fund this initiative. In the event our plans or assumptions for our core operations change or prove to be inaccurate, or if we consummate any unplanned acquisitions of businesses or assets, we may be required to seek additional sources of capital. Sources of additional capital may include public and private equity and debt financings, sales of nonstrategic assets and other financing arrangements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 14 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and No. 137 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 - An amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 137 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to financial quarters and financial years beginning after June 15, 2000. We do not typically enter into arrangements that would fall under the scope of Statement No. 133 and thus, management believes that Statement No. 133 will not significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 101 provides interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. We are required to determine the potential impact of SAB 101 no later than fourth quarter of 2000. If we determine that our revenue recognition policies must change to be in compliance with SAB 101, the implementation of SAB 101 will require us to restate all of our previously reported 2000 quarterly results to reflect a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as if SAB 101 had been implemented on January 1, 2000. We are currently reviewing SAB 101 to determine what impact, if any, the adoption of SAB 101 will have on our financial position and results of operations. FASB Interpretation No. 44 In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN No. 44"). FIN No. 44 clarifies the application of APB No. 25 for certain issues related to equity-based instruments issued to employees. FIN No. 44 is effective on July 1, 2000, except for certain transactions, and will be applied on a prospective basis. Management believes that FIN No. 44 will not have a significant impact on our results of operations and financial position. 15 ITEM 2A. FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT MIGHT CAUSE SUCH A DIFFERENCE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED BELOW. Our operating results fluctuate, and our stock price may be volatile as a result. Our quarterly revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. We experienced a profit in 1998, but had a net loss of approximately $1.3 million in 1999 and a net loss of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Therefore, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of revenue or operating results as an indication of our future performance. If our quarterly revenue or operating results fall below the expectations of the investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could fall substantially. Our operating results may continue to fluctuate as a result of many factors, including: . our planned investments in research, development and marketing to expand our service offerings; . the length of our sales cycle; . the size, timing and duration of significant customer contracts; the number of subscriber records under our management; . we cannot predict the rate of adoption of wireless services by PSAPs; . the timing of introduction and market acceptance of new products and services by us and our competitors; and . changes in telecommunications legislation and regulations. Our contracts generally include a separate non-recurring fee for the design and implementation of the 9-1-1 solution, conversion of the customer's data to our systems, hiring and training of personnel, and other costs required to prepare for the processing of customer data. Therefore, we may recognize significantly increased revenue for a short period of time upon commencing services for a new customer. Our sales cycle is relatively long and difficult to predict. Our potential customers typically commit significant resources to the technical evaluation of our services and products, and we typically spend substantial time, effort and money providing education regarding our 9-1-1 solution. The evaluation process often results in an extensive and lengthy sales cycle, typically ranging between one month and two years, making it difficult for us to forecast the timing and magnitude of sales contracts. Delays associated with customers' internal approval and contracting procedures, procurement practices, and testing and acceptance processes are common. For example, customers' budgetary constraints and internal acceptance reviews may cause potential customers to delay or forego a purchase. The delay or failure to complete one or more large contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cause our operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. We depend on large contracts from a limited number of significant customers, and the loss of any of those contracts would adversely affect our operating results. We historically have depended on, and expect to continue to depend on, large contracts from a limited number of significant customers. We provide our services to a range of customers, including ILECs, CLECs, wireless carriers and state and local government agencies. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we recognized approximately 69% of total revenue from continuing operations from Ameritech, BellSouth Inc. and U S WEST, each of which accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, we recognized approximately 82% of total revenue from Ameritech, BellSouth Inc. and U S WEST, each of which accounted for greater than 10% of our revenue. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue during those periods. We believe that these customers will continue to represent a substantial portion of our total revenue in the future. Certain of our contracts with these customers allow them to cancel their contracts with us in the event of changes in regulatory, legal, labor or business conditions. Our contracts with these customers expire through 2005. The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 16 Two of our significant customers, Ameritech and U S WEST, have entered into merger agreements with companies that are not our customers. We cannot predict what effect, if any, these acquisitions will have on us and we cannot assure you that these acquisitions or any future consolidation in the telecommunications industry will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. None of our major customers has any obligation to purchase additional products or additional services beyond those currently contemplated by their existing contracts. Consequently, our failure to develop relationships with significant new customers could have a material adverse effect on the rate of growth in our revenue, if any. If we fail to monitor and maintain adequately the quality or our product and services, expand the breadth of our services and products, advance our technology or continue to price our services and products competitively, one or more of our major customers may select alternative providers or seek to develop services and products internally. If we lose the services of George Heinrichs or other key personnel, our business will suffer. Our future success depends in large part on the continued service of our key management, sales, product development and operational personnel, including George Heinrichs, our President and Chief Executive Officer. We have not entered into employment agreements with Mr. Heinrichs or any of our other key personnel. Losing the services of one or more of these individuals might hinder our ability to achieve our business objectives. Our Chief Financial Officer, Carol Nelson, announced her resignation effective September 30, 2000. Although we are actively seeking a successor CFO, there can be no assurance that we will be able to replace Ms. Nelson within a reasonable timeframe or that we will not experience significant interruption in our business as a result of her departure. Ms. Nelson has an agreement that provides for payments subsequent to the termination of her employment. We must hire and retain qualified personnel in a competitive labor market. Our success in large part depends on our ability to continue to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees, including technical, managerial and sales and marketing personnel. We expect to continue to expand the number of employees engaged in all aspects of our business. Competition in the recruitment of highly qualified personnel in the software and telecommunications services industry is intense and has become particularly difficult in the Denver metropolitan area. Our inability to hire and retain qualified personnel or the loss of the services of key personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our current business, development efforts and future business prospects. Our business will be adversely affected if Public Safety Answering Points do not demand E9-1-1 services at the rate we expect. We expect the percentage of our revenue derived from the management of 9-1- 1 data records for wireless carriers to increase. Recognizing the public safety need for improved wireless 9-1-1 service, the FCC issued Report and Order 94-102 on June 12, 1996 and subsequent orders in 1999 and 2000 that mandated the adoption of 9-1-1 technology by wireless carriers in two phases. Phase I requires wireless carriers to provide to requesting PSAPs at the time of a 9-1-1 call, tools to deliver the call to the appropriate PSAP and send the caller's telephone number and location of the receiving cell site with the call. Phase II requires wireless carriers to locate a 9-1-1 caller more accurately, subject to FCC guidelines. However, under the FCC rules, wireless carriers are not required to provide wireless 9-1-1 service without a PSAP request. To provide an additional impetus for wireless 9-1-1 implementation, the Federal Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act was signed into law in October 1999. This legislation provides liability protection to wireless carriers that is in parity with wireline carriers' liability protection. However, there is no assurance that the legislation will have the desired effect of accelerating wireless E9-1- 1 deployment. The FCC continues to work with the wireless industry to facilitate wireless E9-1-1 implementation. The FCC has outlined a phased implementation schedule for Phase II. We believe that the technological challenges confronting wireless carriers attempting to comply with Report and Order 94-102 will encourage them to outsource their E9-1-1 services. If many wireless carriers decide not to outsource such services, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Due to cost recovery, liability and operational issues, the number of PSAPs demanding services complying with Report and Order 94-102 from wireless carriers has been less than we anticipated. If the rate of adoption by PSAPs continues to be slow because of cost recovery, liability or operational issues, extensions granted by the FCC or other reasons, we will continue to experience delays in receiving revenue under our current wireless contracts that, because we have already incurred costs in expectation of such revenue, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 17 Our market is characterized by rapid technological change, and we could lose our competitive position and fail to grow our business if we do not develop and offer new products and services. The market for our services is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product or service introductions, evolving industry standards and changing customer needs. We launched our Emergency Warning and Evacuation, or EWE, product, in the fourth quarter of 1999, which allows PSAPs to call all numbers in a given area and warn citizens of imminent danger. We intend to offer other new products in the future, including 9-1-1 SafetyNet. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry and technology standards can render existing products and services obsolete and unmarketable in short periods of time. We expect other vendors to regularly introduce new products and services, as well as enhancements to their existing products and services, that will compete with the services and products offered by us. As a result, the life cycles of our services and products are difficult to estimate. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on our ability to maintain and enhance our current service and product offerings, to develop and regularly introduce new services and products that will keep pace with technological advances and satisfy evolving customer requirements, and to achieve acceptable levels of sales of our new services and products through our current customers that resell our solutions to their subscribers. However, we cannot assure you that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of such new services and products or that our new services and products will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Announcements of currently planned or other new service and product offerings by us or our competitors may cause customers to defer the purchase of our existing services and products. Our inability to develop on a timely basis new services or products, or the failure of such new services or products to achieve market acceptance, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The development of new, technologically advanced products and services is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We cannot assure you that we will successfully develop, introduce or manage the transition to new services and products. Furthermore, services and products such as those offered by us may contain undetected or unresolved errors when they are first introduced or as new versions are released. We cannot assure you that, despite extensive testing by us, errors will not be found in new services and products after commencement of commercial availability, resulting in delay in or loss of market acceptance and sales, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation or increased service and warranty costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Significant delays in meeting deadlines for announced service or product introductions or performance problems with such products or upgrades could result in an undermining of customer confidence in our services and products, which would materially adversely affect our customer relationships as well. In addition, we plan to introduce transaction-based services and software products to industries different from those we have traditionally supported. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing and marketing these new services and products or that our current or new services and products will adequately meet the demands of our new markets. Because it is generally not possible to predict the time required and costs involved in reaching certain research, development and engineering objectives related to entering new markets, actual development costs could exceed budgeted amounts and estimated development schedules could require extensions. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these services and products. If we are unable to develop and introduce new services and products to these new markets in a timely manner, or if a new release of a product or service to such new markets does not achieve market acceptance, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Substantially all of our revenue is derived from our 9-1-1 data management solution, and our operating results will depend upon our ability to continue to sell this solution. We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from the provisioning of our 9-1-1 data management solution to ILECs, CLECs, wireless carriers and state and local government agencies. Accordingly, we are susceptible to adverse trends affecting this market segment, such as government regulation, technological obsolescence and the entry of new competition. We expect that this market will continue to account for substantially all of our revenue in the near future. As a result, our future success will depend on our ability to continue to sell our 9-1-1 solution, maintain and increase our market share by providing other value-added services to the market, and successfully adapt our technology and services to other related markets. We cannot assure you that markets for our existing services and products will continue to expand or that we will be successful in our efforts to penetrate new markets. Our operating results could be adversely affected if we underestimate costs on our fixed price contracts. 18 During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, approximately 88% of our revenue was generated on a fixed price per subscriber basis. We generally enter into contracts with two- to ten-year terms and we generally receive a fixed monthly fee based upon the number of subscribers and upon the services selected by the customer. Therefore, our failure to estimate accurately the resources required for a fixed price per subscriber contract could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We could incur substantial costs from product liability claims relating to our software. Because our services and products are utilized by our customers to provide critical 9-1-1 services, the provisioning of services and licensing of software by us may entail the risk of product liability and related claims. Our agreements with our customers typically require us to indemnify our customers for our own acts of negligence. Product liability insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future. We cannot be sure that we will be able to maintain or obtain insurance coverage at acceptable costs or in a sufficient amount, that our insurer will not disclaim coverage as to a future claim or that a product liability claim would not otherwise adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. Our success depends upon the continued growth of wireline and wireless telecommunications markets. We provide our 9-1-1 data management solution to telecommunications carriers in the wireline and wireless markets. Although these markets have experienced significant growth and have been characterized by increased deregulation and competition in recent years, we cannot assure you that such trends will continue at similar rates or that we will be able to market and sell effectively our products and services in such markets. In addition, many of the new entrants in the telecommunications market are companies that lack significant financial and other resources. To cultivate relationships with such new market entrants, we may be required to offer alternative pricing arrangements, which may provide for deferred payments. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop such relationships or that new carriers that become our customers will gain market acceptance for their telecommunications services. If we permit customers that do not have adequate financial resources to pay us for our services on a deferred basis, we ultimately may be unable to collect payments for such services. Because we historically have depended on a limited number of long-term customer relationships, our failure to develop relationships with, make sales to, or collect payments from new telecommunications carriers, or the failure of our customers to compete effectively in the telecommunications market, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the telecommunications industry is experiencing substantial consolidations and changes that are unpredictable, and any such consolidation or change could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our business is subject to government regulation and other legal uncertainties, which could adversely affect our operations. The market for our services and products has been influenced by the adoption of regulations under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the duties imposed on ILECs by the Telecommunications Act to open the local telephone markets to competition, the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 related to LECs' responsibility to provide subscriber records to emergency services providers, requirements in the various states, including Texas where we are a regulated utility and a party to various Texas PUC dockets, and the requirements imposed on wireless carriers by the FCC's Report and Order 94-102. Therefore, any changes to such legal requirements, the adoption of new regulations by federal or state regulatory authorities under these laws and regulations or any legal challenges to them could have a material adverse effect upon the market for our services and products. Although these laws and regulations were designed or modified in some respects to expand competition in the telecommunications industry, the realization of the objectives of these laws and regulations is subject to many uncertainties, including judicial and administrative proceedings designed to define rights and obligations, actions or inactions by ILECs and other carriers that affect the pace at which changes contemplated by these laws and regulations occur, resolution of questions concerning which parties will finance such changes, and other regulatory, economic and political factors. We are aware of litigation challenging the validity of the Telecommunications Act and the local telephone competition rules adopted by the FCC to implement the Telecommunications Act, as well as certain administrative rule makings either underway or anticipated with respect to other laws and regulations. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court in AT&T v. Iowa invalidated the unbundling requirements adopted by the FCC while upholding a portion of the FCC's local competition rules. The FCC adopted new unbundling requirements on September 15, 1999 to comply with the decision of the Supreme Court. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has remanded to the FCC certain issues involving collocation of equipment as well as TELRIC (Total Element Long Run Incremental Cost) pricing that governs in part the method by which ILECs may charge competitive carriers for interconnecting to the 19 ILEC network. The final impact of the application of these rules is not yet known. Such litigation may serve to delay full implementation of these laws and regulations, which could adversely affect demand for our services and products. Any delays in the deadlines imposed by these laws and regulations, the FCC, state utility commissions, or any invalidation, repeal or modification in the requirements imposed by these laws or regulations, state utility commissions or the FCC could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, customers may require, or we otherwise may deem it necessary or advisable, that we modify our services and products to address actual or anticipated changes in the regulatory environment. Any other delays in implementation of these laws and regulations, or other regulatory changes, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We signed a contract to provide 9-1-1 data management services to the General Services Commission of the State of Texas. This contract was assigned by the General Services Commission to the Texas Commission for State Emergency Communications. As this is the first time that a state entity has endeavored to centralize 9-1-1 OSS and data management services with a neutral third party, federal and state regulations governing 9-1-1 service provisioning, which have typically applied to local exchange services providers, are being challenged and clarified for the first time. In accordance with Texas law, and on the recommendation of the Texas Public Utilities Commission, we have been granted a Service Provider Certificate of Operating Authority in the State of Texas. We successfully completed the field trial required under the contract in July 1999 and are in the process of marketing our services to the state's public safety agencies and implementing services to those who opt into the contract. Prior to commencement of the field trial, SBC Communications, which historically has been responsible for the provisioning of 9-1-1 OSS, data transport and data management services in Texas, challenged whether we have a right to access SBC Communications' source systems and 9-1-1 database, whether they must allow other parties to interconnect to their selective routing switches and whether they are obligated by law to unbundle components of their network functionality. An interim agreement among the involved parties was reached in March 1999 that allowed us to perform the field trial to test the interfacing technology solutions in the Houston area. As part of the interim agreement, the legal challenges and all related proceedings were placed in abeyance to permit the parties to proceed with the field trial. Those matters are still held in abeyance. As required by the agreement, SBC Communications filed wireline and wireless tariffs regarding its portion of the unbundled services. SBC Communications failed to unbundle its tariffs in a manner that allowed the cost of our solution to be competitively neutral to the grandfathered SBC Communications' solution, and the tariffs were contested by the Texas Commission for State Emergency Communications, us and various other parties. Subsequently, the Texas PUC promulgated new rules pertaining to 9-1-1 provisioning in this competitive environment which in many ways favor our position, and those rules have had the effect of making SBC Communications' proposed tariffs invalid, thus causing SBC to modify the tariffs and propose new tariffs that comply with the PUC's new rules that embrace a competitive 9-1-1 market place. We are in the process of reviewing those new proposed tariffs along with other interested parties, and it is possible we will find it necessary or desirable to file objections to the proposed tariffs. The outcome of the tariff filing is uncertain, although the parties to the tariff matters had previously executed a second interim agreement for both wireline and wireless services, which continues, in the meantime, to set the rates to be charged to public safety agencies who wish to procure our solution until a final tariff is determined. We believe that these legal and technological issues and their associated cost implications are likely to be readdressed by the PUC, which may yet decide on these matters in 2000 but more likely in 2001. Until such resolution, this interim tariff agreement will govern those rates and charges. We believe that the services that we will provide under our contract with the General Services Commission are permitted within the scope of the existing regulations and that the outcome of the matter before the PUC will be favorable to us and the Texas Commission for State Emergency Communications. However, we cannot assure you that the Texas PUC will decide in favor of us and the Texas Commission for State Emergency Communications or that SBC Communications will not resume its desire to pursue this and other legal challenges on a longer term basis, thus causing further delay of the commencement of the services by exercising its right to appeal a PUC decision that favors us or the Texas Commission for State Emergency Communications. If the PUC does not decide in our favor or places contingencies on the manner in which the services are provided, we may be prohibited from delivering our services to the State of Texas, may incur additional delays in that regard, may expend significant resources to appeal the PUC's decision or may expend additional costs to redesign the methodology by which the services are provided. In addition, if SBC Communications exercises its right to appeal, we may be required to spend significant resources to defend our right to provide our services in the State of Texas. The tariff proceedings were put in abeyance pending resolution of the PUC's new rule making which is now completed. We expect that the PUC and/or the administrative law judge presiding over those dockets, will soon cause the parties to take a position on the new SBC tariffs, and as mentioned, we may seek to object to the new tariffs. As part of our new initiatives to market and sell our 9-1-1 SafetyNet products and services, we are in the process of obtaining certificates of operating authority across the United States to operate as a 20 telecommunications provider and to become a bona fide beneficiary of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, including the right to interconnect with certain incumbent 9-1-1 network providers. While these efforts and their relation to the provision of telecommunications services may not fall within the express provisions of the Act and the "well worn path" for traditional competitive telecommunications providers, we believe that the Act, bolstered by events that have occurred since its passage, clearly contemplate and support the extension of the notion of competition to providers like us and our emergency services initiatives. The success of our new initiatives depends largely on the success of these legal, regulatory and contractual initiatives, and we can not make assurances that they will be successful. Thus, the same kinds of delays or problems outlined above regarding matters pending in the state of Texas may also occur in other states, including all states which could have substantial and material impacts on the success of our business. 9-1-1 services generally are funded by a locally imposed fee per subscriber per month. A portion of this tax is paid to the local carrier providing the 9-1- 1 services. We generally receive a monthly fee per subscriber from our customers for management of 9-1-1 data records, allowing the carrier to match our fixed revenue stream for 9-1-1 services with a fixed cost for record management. Changes by local governments in the funding mechanism for 9-1-1 services or the parties responsible for the provision of such services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our operating results could be adversely affected by any interruption of our services because of system failure. Our operations depend on our ability to maintain our computer and telecommunications equipment and systems in effective working order, and to protect our systems against damage from fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure or similar events. Although all of our mission- critical systems and equipment are designed with built-in redundancy and security, we cannot assure you that a fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure or similar event would not result in an interruption of our services. Any damage, failure or delay that causes interruptions in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any future addition or expansion of our facilities to increase capacity could increase our exposure to damage from fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure or similar events. We cannot assure you that our property and business interruption insurance will be adequate to compensate us for any losses that may occur in the event of a system failure or that such insurance will continue to be available to us at all or, if available, that it will be available on commercially reasonable terms. Our failure to manage our growth effectively could adversely affect our ability to increase our revenue and could increase our operating expenses. We have expanded our operations rapidly over the past several years, placing significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial personnel and systems. Additional expansion by us may further strain our management, operational, financial reporting, and other systems and resources. We cannot assure you that our systems, resources, procedures, controls and existing space will be adequate to support such expansion of our operations. Our future operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our management, operational, financial control and other reporting systems. In addition, our future operating results depend on our ability to attract, train and retain qualified consulting, technical, sales, financial, marketing and management personnel. Failure to hire, train or retain qualified personnel necessary to keep pace with our development of products and services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Continued expansion will require our management to: . enhance management information and reporting systems; . standardize implementation methodologies of our operations; . further develop our infrastructure; and . continue to maintain customer satisfaction. If we are unable to respond to and manage changing business conditions, the quality of our products and services, our ability to retain key personnel and our business, financial condition and results of operation could be materially adversely affected. The market for 9-1-1 data management solutions is highly competitive, and we could lose our market position if we fail to compete effectively. 21 The market for 9-1-1 data management solutions is intensely competitive and we expect competition to increase in the future. We believe that the principal competitive factors affecting the market for 9-1-1 data management services include flexibility, reliability, manageability, technical features, wireless support, performance, ease of use, price, scope of product offerings, and customer service and support. We cannot assure you that we can maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors, especially those with significantly greater financial, marketing, support service, technical and other competitive resources. Our principal competitors generally fall within one of three categories: . internal development departments of major carriers or consulting firms that support such departments; . relatively smaller companies that offer applications featuring portions of our comprehensive set of E9-1-1 solutions; and . larger companies that are either in the process of entering our market or have the potential to develop products and services that compete with our service offerings. There are a number of companies that market and sell various products and services to telecommunications carriers, such as billing software and advanced telecommunications equipment, that have been broadly adopted by our customers and potential customers. In addition, vendors of telecommunications software and hardware in the future may enhance their products to include functionality that is currently provided by our solutions. The widespread inclusion of the functionality of our service offerings as standard features of other telecommunications software or hardware could render our services obsolete and unmarketable, particularly if the quality of such functionality were comparable to that of our services. Furthermore, even if the 9-1-1 functionality provided as standard features by telecommunications software or networking hardware is more limited than that of our services, we cannot assure you that a significant number of customers would not elect to accept more limited functionality in lieu of purchasing additional products or services. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, access to larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products and services, than us. If these companies were to introduce products or services that effectively compete with our service offerings, they could be in a position to substantially lower the price of their 9-1-1 products and services or to bundle such products and services with their other product and service offerings. We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology rights. Our success and our ability to compete depends significantly upon our proprietary rights. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We cannot assure you that such measures will be adequate to protect our proprietary rights. Further, we may be subject to additional risks as we enter into transactions in foreign countries where intellectual property laws are not well developed or are difficult to enforce. Legal protections of our proprietary rights may be ineffective in such countries. Litigation to defend and enforce our intellectual property rights could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of the final outcome of such litigation. Despite our efforts to safeguard and maintain our proprietary rights, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in doing so or that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter misappropriation or independent third- party development of our technology, or to prevent an unauthorized third party from copying or otherwise obtaining and using our technology. There also can be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar technologies or duplicate any technology developed by us. Any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Claims by other companies that our products infringe their proprietary rights could adversely affect our financial condition. As the number of entrants to our markets increases and the functionality of our services and products increases and overlaps with the products and services of other companies, we may become subject to claims of infringement or misappropriation of the intellectual property rights of others. In certain of our customer agreements, we agree to indemnify our customers for any expenses or liabilities resulting from claimed infringements of patents, trademarks or copyrights of third parties. In some instances, the amount of the indemnities may be greater than the revenue we received from the customer. Any claims or litigation, with or without merit, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. Any royalty or licensing arrangements, if 22 required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We face additional risks from any international operations we undertake. Although substantially all of our revenue is generated from sales to customers in the United States, we have generated revenue in Canada and intend to enter additional international markets, which will require significant management attention and financial resources. International sales are subject to a variety of risks, including difficulties in establishing and managing international distribution channels, and in translating products and related materials into foreign languages. International operations are also subject to difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, staffing, managing personnel and enforcing intellectual property rights. Other factors that can adversely affect international operations include fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies and currency exchange rates, changes in import/export duties and quotas, introduction of tariff or non-tariff barriers and economic or political changes in international markets. We cannot assure you that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our future international sales and, consequently, on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, any inability to obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Acquisitions could cause financial or operational problems. As part of our overall strategy, we regularly evaluate opportunities to enter into strategic acquisitions, including potential business combinations and significant investments in complementary companies, assets, products and technologies. Acquisitions involve a number of operating risks that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the diversion of management's attention to assimilate the operations, products and personnel of the acquired companies, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies. Furthermore, acquisitions may involve businesses in which we lack experience. Because management has limited experience in acquisitions and we have no experience in integrating acquired companies or technologies into our operations, we cannot assure you that we will be able to manage one or more acquisitions successfully, or that we will be able to integrate the operations, products or personnel gained through any such acquisitions without a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of changes in United States interest rates. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. Historically and as of June 30, 2000, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities. Interest Rate Risk The interest payable on our line of credit is variable based on the lender's prime rate or the one, two, or three month Libor rate plus 2.25% per annum, and, therefore, is affected by changes in market interest rates. At June 30, 2000, no amounts were outstanding under our line of credit, however, we may borrow up to 80% of qualified accounts receivable, not to exceed $2,000,000. Rates on our capital lease line are also dependent on interest rates in effect at the time the lease line is drawn upon. In addition, we invest excess funds in high-grade treasury bonds and commercial paper on which we monitor interest rates frequently and as the investments mature. We do not believe that reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates will result in a material effect on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows. 23 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 - Legal Proceedings. We are not a party to any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on us or our business. Federal and state regulations governing 9- 1-1 service provisioning have typically applied to local exchange services providers. We plan to provide 9-1-1 services directly to state and local governments rather than local exchange carriers in certain areas. Since this is the first time that such services have been provided in this manner, the regulations are being challenged and clarified for the first time. We believe that the services we provide are within the scope of the existing regulations and that any challenges to the regulations would be decided in our favor. However, if the regulations are challenged and are not decided in our favor, we may be prohibited from expanding our services to certain markets. Item 2 - Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds. On June 29, 1998, we consummated our initial public offering of our common stock. The estimated net offering proceeds to us after deducting the foregoing discounts, commissions, fees and expenses were $25,988,400, of which $3,510,400 relates to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option on July 22, 1998. Through June 30, 2000, the proceeds of the offering have been applied as follows: Aggregate offering price $28,980,000 Direct and indirect payment to others for: Underwriting discounts and commissions 2,028,600 Other offering expenses 963,000 Construction of building and facilities 300,000 Capital lease payment to receive discount 2,878,500 Repayment of indebtedness 4,610,000 9-1-1 SafetyNet initiative 1,300,000 None of such payments were direct or indirect payments to our directors, officers, general partners or their associates or to persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or to our affiliates. We expect to use up to $13 million of our remaining net proceeds in 2000 for research, development and marketing to expand our product offerings, as well as for general corporate purposes, including working capital. A portion of the net proceeds also may be used for the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies that are complementary to ours. We invested a portion of the remaining proceeds in an investment portfolio consisting mostly of high-grade bonds and commercial paper. Item 3 - Defaults on Senior Securities. None. Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. a) On June 27, 2000, we held our 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting"). b) One matter voted on at the Annual Meeting was the election of seven directors. The seven nominees, who were existing directors and nominees of our Board of Directors, were re-elected at our Annual Meeting as directors, receiving the number of votes for election and abstentions as set forth next to their respective names below: NOMINEE FOR DIRECTOR FOR WITHHELD ABSTAIN -------------------- --- -------- ------- George K. Heinrichs 10,300,769 442,649 486,627 Stephen O. James 10,300,769 442,649 486,627 David Kronfeld 10,300,769 442,649 486,627 Phillip B.
