GLOBIX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(ALL AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Globix Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Globix” or the “Company”) is a provider of Internet services to businesses and, through its subsidiary Neon Communications, Inc. (“NEON”), the Company owns and operates a high bandwidth fiber optic network that supplies transport services to carriers and enterprise customers in the twelve-state Northeast and mid-Atlantic market. The Company currently offers services from facilities in New York City, New York, Westborough, Massachusetts, Fairfield, New Jersey, Santa Clara, California, and London, England. The Company’s common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “GEX”.

The Company has historically experienced negative cash flow from operations and has incurred net losses. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $14,221 and an accumulated deficit of $132,916. The Company’s ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and achieve profitability is dependent upon its ability to grow its revenue while maintaining its current cost structure and network efficiencies. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving sufficient profitability, attracting new customers, increasing our revenue levels or reducing our outstanding indebtedness. If the Company fails to generate sufficient cash flow, the Company may have to take drastic steps to meet its liquidity needs. Such steps may include the reduction of our headcount, the consolidation, elimination or sale of facilities, the termination of low margin customers and the negotiation with our creditors to restructure our indebtedness, including, but not limited to, our 11% and 9% senior notes.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all of the adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2006 and the nine month period then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, contained in the 2005 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the nine month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2006.

MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

Significant estimates include estimates of the allowance for doubtful accounts, credit reserve, the useful lives and ultimate realizability of property, equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowance and payroll and occupancy cost allocations between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results may vary from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

SFAS 123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all share based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS 123(R) establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for generally all share based payment transactions with employees.

On October 1, 2005 (the first day of our 2006 fiscal year), the Company adopted SFAS 123(R). The provisions of SFAS 123(R) became effective the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. We adopted SFAS 123(R) using a modified prospective application, as permitted under SFAS 123(R). Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.

Prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), SFAS No. 123 required that the Company provide pro forma information regarding net earnings and net earnings per common share as if compensation cost for the Company’s stock based awards had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed therein. The Company had previously adopted the disclosure portion

(ALL AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” requiring quarterly SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure. The pro forma charge for compensation cost related to stock based awards granted was recognized over the service period. For stock options, the service period represents the period of time between the date of grant and the date each option becomes exercisable without consideration of acceleration provisions (e.g., retirement, change of control, etc.).

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings per common share as if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding awards for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005:

Beginning with our 2006 fiscal year, with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we included stock based compensation in selling, general and administrative expense for the cost of stock options. Stock based compensation expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,952 which includes the expense of $1,608 associated with the hiring of Ted S. Lodge as Chairman of the Company’s board of directors and as Executive Chairman of the Company (as previously disclosed in the form 8-K filed on November 3, 2005).

Under SFAS No. 123(R) the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

During the nine months ended June 30, 2006, the Company granted approximately 1,143,000 options with an exercise price of $2.75 per share to various employees. Included in this figure were options granted to Mr. Lodge during the three-month period ended December 31, 2005 to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock.

Stock based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $20. No options to purchase the Company’s stock were granted during this same period.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for voluntary changes in accounting principle.

SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 will depend on the accounting change, if any, in a future period.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 allows companies to elect to measure at fair value entire financial instruments containing embedded derivatives that would otherwise have to be accounted for separately. It also requires companies to identify interests in securitized financial assets that are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives that would have to be accounted for separately, clarifies which interest- and principal-only strips are subject to SFAS No. 133, and amends SFAS No. 140 to revise the conditions of a qualifying special purpose entity due to the new requirement to identify whether interests in securitized financial assets are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued

or subject to a remeasurement event after the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires the recognition of a servicing asset or liability each time a company undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset in certain situations. It requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practical. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the implementation of SFAS No. 156 and whether it will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 — ACQUISITION OF NEON COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

On March 7, 2005, Globix completed its acquisition of NEON purchasing all of the capital stock of NEON. The purchase price of $112,862 consisted of $5,349 in cash, the issuance of 27,573 shares of common stock with a fair value of $83,507 (based on the average share price during the three day period before and after the announcement of the merger), the issuance of 2,972 shares of cumulative convertible preferred stock with a fair market value of $12,639, the issuance of 3,381 shares of stock options and warrants with a fair value of $7,928 and approximately $3,439 of other direct acquisition costs. NEON owns and operates a high bandwidth fiber optic network, extending from Portland, ME to Washington, DC. Through this network NEON provides metro and intercity communications coverage, as well as co-location space, to local and long distance telecommunications carriers and a small number of non-carrier customers, including universities, colleges and financial institutions, in various markets in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, including Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Newark, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Portland, Portsmouth, Springfield, Worcester, Albany, White Plains, Providence, Hartford, Hackensack, Reston, Virginia and smaller communities along our network routes.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business operations. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome or effect of any legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, the Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the ultimate liabilities, if any, arising from any such legal proceedings would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Globix has retained the investment banking firm of The Bank Street Group LLC to assist it in reviewing strategic and financing alternatives for the Company and its businesses. The Company is committed to pay The Bank Street Group LLC a set fee upon the successful completion of its contracted responsibilities.

On May 2, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement with a major leasing company for a 30 month equipment lease line for up to $3 million and a second agreement with another company for a 24 month equipment lease for up to $1.3 million. As of June 30, 2006 the Company had utilized $1.1 million of the $3 million line for equipment leases and none of the $1.3 million dollar line. The terms of the first equipment lease line do not meet any one of the four necessary criteria established in SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” that would allow the Company to capitalize the equipment received through these leases and, as such, the costs related to these leases are being recorded as operating expenses.

In January 2005 the Company filed a general unsecured claim in the bankruptcy proceeding involving Universal Access, Inc. (the “Claim”) pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division. Universal Access, Inc. objected to the Claim. The Company and Universal Access, Inc. negotiated a settlement on June 26, 2006 whereby the Company has been allowed a general unsecured claim of $1.2 million. This settlement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and distributions will be made to the Company, in the future, in accordance with the provisions of the “Second Amended Liquidating Ch 11 Plan Jointly Proposed by Universal Access Global Holdings Inc., Universal Access, Inc., Universal Access of Virginia, Inc., Universal Access Communications Inc. and Tri-Quad Enterprises, Inc., Debtors-In-Possession, And By the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors” as approved by the Bankruptcy Court. As a result of this settlement, the bad debt reserve the Company established in a prior fiscal year for Universal Access was reversed in the amount of $0.6 million in the three-months ended June 30, 2006.

In May 2006 the Company was served with a complaint in an action entitled Media Express USA, Ltd. V. Globix Corporation which is pending in the New York County Supreme Court. The complaint seeks a total of $0.5 million on two causes of action based on a claim that the Company failed to provide plaintiff with certain contracted-for services. The Company has filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint and is asserting numerous defenses.

In July 2006 the Company settled for $0.1 million a Massachusetts state court action against CC&F Lincoln Street, LLC (“Lincoln Street”). The Company had been granted a default judgment in 2004 in a suit it had brought on a note that had been issued by Lincoln Street as part of a settlement involving a lease between the Company and Lincoln Street.

Other than noted above, there have been no developments in ongoing legal proceedings nor has any material litigation been commenced or threatened since the prior descriptions in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2005 Form 10-K, and the “Legal Proceedings” section of the 2005 Form 10-K.

Note 7 — DEBT FINANCING

In order to obtain additional financing to meet the Company’s needs for working capital, on December 13, 2005, the Company issued and sold $5 million in principal amount of its 9% senior notes to a group of investors. The notes mature on May 1, 2008. Interest on the notes is payable quarterly in arrears, beginning January 1, 2006. One percent of the proceeds of the notes was used to pay a one time origination fee to the note purchasers at closing. The notes are secured by a first priority security interest in domestic accounts receivable in the amount of 150% of the principal amount of the notes. Covenants and events of default under the notes are generally no more onerous than those contained in the indenture relating to the Company’s outstanding 11% senior notes, except that the new notes limit the incurrence of additional senior debt that otherwise might be permitted under the 11% senior notes. The new notes can be prepaid without penalty or premium at any time following 30 days notice.

Purchasers of the notes include: LC Capital Master Fund Ltd., an investment fund managed by an investment advisor with which one member of the Company’s Board of Directors, Steven Lampe, is affiliated; Karen Singer, the sister-in-law of another Board member, Steven Singer; and Metronome LPC 1, Inc., an affiliate of Loeb Partners Corp., which (together with its affiliates) is the beneficial owner of approximately 7.9% of our common stock. LC Capital Corp. Ltd. is the beneficial owner of approximately 10.9% of the Company’s common stock (including 462,462 shares that may be acquired upon conversion of our convertible preferred stock). Karen Singer is the sole trustee of the Singer Children’s Management Trust, which is the beneficial owner of approximately 8.8% of the Company’s common stock (including 699,099 shares that may be acquired on conversion of the preferred stock). The principal amounts purchased by these holders are $1 million for LC Capital Master Fund Ltd., $1 million for Karen Singer and $1 million for Metronome. Steven Singer disclaims any beneficial ownership interest in the 9% notes. The transaction was approved by all of the disinterested members of the board of directors.

Prior to commencing discussions with the purchasers of the notes, the Company approached and made presentations to a number of unaffiliated financial institutions in its efforts to locate working capital financing. The Company believes that the terms of the 9% notes are significantly better than the terms of any written proposal received by it, based on the financial terms of the loan and associated transactional costs, as well as better prepayment and other operational terms.

NOTE 8 — DEBT FOR EQUITY EXCHANGE

As a condition to the closing of the acquisition of NEON, Globix exchanged $12.5 million in principal and accrued interest on its 11% senior notes in exchange for 4,545,455 shares of its common stock in private transactions pursuant to separate securities exchange agreements with certain holders of the 11% senior notes. LC Capital Master Fund Ltd., an entity affiliated with Steven Lampe, a member of the Board of Directors of Globix, exchanged $1.25 million in 11% senior notes for 454,545 shares of common stock. The debt for equity exchange resulted in a loss of $3.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Following the exchange, Globix filed a registration statement covering the re-sale of the common stock issued in the debt for equity exchange. Under the debt for equity exchange agreements, the exchanging holders have the right to purchase an additional 22,728 shares of common stock at $2.75 per share as a result of the failure of the registration statement to become effective by July 6, 2005. The registration statement became effective on September 27, 2005.

NOTE 9 — PREFERRED STOCK

Globix has authorized 4,500,000 shares of 6% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“preferred stock”), of which 2,971,753 shares were issued in the acquisition of NEON. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the holder, is entitled to one vote, has a liquidation preference of $3.60 per share plus accrued dividends, and is senior to the common stock of Globix. Dividends are payable semi-annually at a rate of $0.11 per share when and if declared by the Board of Directors. At the option of Globix, dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of preferred stock. At the option of Globix, shares of preferred stock can be redeemed in whole or in part at $3.82 per share, plus accrued dividends, in 2006, $3.71 per share, plus accrued dividends, in 2007 and $3.60 per share, plus accrued dividends, thereafter. In the event of a change of control, as defined, each holder of preferred stock can require Globix to purchase such holder’s shares of preferred stock for a price equal to $3.64 plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the purchase date. As of June 30, 2006, a dividend of $0.9 million in the aggregate, payable in either cash or additional shares of preferred stock at $3.60 per share, had accrued on the outstanding shares of preferred stock.

NOTE 10 — WARRANTS ISSUED

As of May 1, 2005, Globix issued a warrant to Further Lane Asset Management, LLC to purchase 250,000 shares at a purchase price of $4.00 per share in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, in exchange for financial advisory services to be provided to Globix by Further Lane. One twelfth of the warrants become exercisable in each month so that all warrants were vested on May 1, 2006. The warrants expire on May 1, 2008.

NOTE 11 — FIBER OPTIC EXCHANGE

On December 30, 2005 the NEON subsidiary of Globix entered into a fiber optic exchange agreement with AT&T Corp. Globix provided fiber along its New York City to Washington, DC route in exchange for fiber principally located in northern New Jersey and greater Philadelphia and $1,960 in cash from AT&T. The Company treated this as a reduction of the fair value of the plant, property and equipment acquired in the NEON acquisition. No gain or loss resulted from the exchange.

OVERVIEW

We are a provider of Internet services to businesses and, through our subsidiary NEON Communications, Inc. (“NEON”), we own and operate a high bandwidth fiber optic network that supplies transport services to carriers and enterprise customers in the twelve-state Northeast and mid-Atlantic market. We currently offer services from facilities in New York City, New York, Westborough, Massachusetts, Fairfield, New Jersey, Santa Clara, California and London, England. The Company’s common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “GEX”.

On March 7, 2005, we completed our acquisition of all of the capital stock of NEON valued at $112.9 million in exchange for common and convertible preferred stock of Globix worth approximately $96.2 million, options and warrants of Globix common stock worth approximately $7.9 million, direct closing costs of approximately $3.4 million and approximately $5.4 million in cash. Simultaneously with the closing of the acquisition, we exchanged $12.5 million in principal and interest on our 11% senior notes for 4,545,455 shares of common stock.

On December 13, 2005, we issued and sold $5 million in principal amount of our 9% senior secured notes due May 1, 2008. For further information about the terms of this financing, see Note 7 of the financial statements.

OVERVIEW: OUR MAJOR SERVICE LINES

Although we operate in two reportable segments, there are 6 major service lines as follows:

INTERNET HOSTING AND CO-LOCATION—We offer co-location solutions for customers who choose to own and maintain their own servers and or optronics, but require the physically secure, climate-controlled environment provided by our data centers and connectivity to our network. We offer hosting services in a dedicated server environment. This service includes providing integrated hardware usage, bandwidth and managed services to meet customer-specific needs.

MANAGED SERVICES—We provide managed application, system, network and media services to our hosting and co-location customers. Such services include a wide variety of maintenance, administration and problem resolution services for many popular operating systems, Internet network devices, software security solutions, web-based applications, as well as streaming media delivered in a streaming or continuous fashion over the Internet or over a company’s intranet.

NETWORK SERVICES AND INTERNET ACCESS—We provide access to our network for our hosting and co-location customers located inside of our Internet data centers as well as Internet access services which provide businesses with high-speed continuous access to the Internet from their own premises. In addition, we provide other services, such as domain name registration, local loop provisioning, Internet address assignment, router configuration, e-mail configuration and management and technical consulting services.

LIT FIBER SERVICES (TRANSPORT SERVICES)—We provide dedicated, point-to-point services provided over fiber optic transmission lines that have electronic or optronic equipment installed and maintained by NEON. Specific service offerings include: SONET Private Line services at bandwidth levels including DS-3, OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48; Wavelength (DWDM) services enabling flexible and scalable high capacity transport at 2.5 and 10 Gbps, configured as either protected or unprotected wavelengths; and Ethernet services via dedicated, point-to-point connectivity offered as Fast Ethernet (FastE) at 50 or 100 Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) at 600 or 1000 Gbps.

14


DARK FIBER SERVICES—We lease fiber cable in our fiber optic network running from Portland, ME to Washington, DC. The fiber cable is leased without electronic or optronic equipment installed by NEON.

OTHER— This business line includes hardware and software sales and other non-recurring revenue from our Globix business segment. Hardware and software sales are typically tied to agreements to provide recurring services such as hosting, network services and managed services.

Our Globix business segment includes all of our Internet services except for co-location services that are provided at various locations along our fiber optic network, which we include in our NEON business segment. Our NEON business segment includes lit and dark fiber services utilizing our fiber optic network, and co-location services along this network.

OVERVIEW: STRATEGY

Our operational strategy is to seek to grow profitably by selling a more profitable mix of business and continuing our investment in revenue supporting infrastructure. Our transport business has experienced consistent revenue growth and profitability improvement over the past year through success based investments to meet the growing needs of our customers. To the extent the company has the financial resources to continue making these investments it will do so. Our transport business will continue to focus on selling into the carrier and large enterprise markets. Within these segments our key customer targets are wireless providers, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), inter-exchange carriers, financial services providers and universities.

In our hosting business we continue to be focused on improving the cost structure, selling a more profitable mix of services, and making limited investments in infrastructure enhancements. In addition, we may seek to consolidate operations and reduce our exposure to less profitable markets. The target market for the hosting segment is small to medium size businesses, and the company seeks to optimize its profitability with each customer by offering them a package of services that includes co-location, internet access and managed services.

Although the acquisition of NEON and the concurrent debt for equity exchange increased our revenues and asset base and reduced the total amount of our indebtedness, we remain highly leveraged. Our board of directors elected to pay annual accrued interest of approximately $7.4 million on the 11% senior notes through the issuance of additional notes effective on May 1, 2006. Interest on the 11% senior notes must be paid in cash on May 1, 2007.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our accounting estimates on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may vary from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates:

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue consists primarily of Internet hosting, co-location, managed services, network services, internet access, lit fiber services and dark fiber services. We recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”), No. 104 “Revenue Recognition” which revises and rescinds certain sections of SAB No. 101, “Revenue Recognition”. The changes noted in SAB 104 did not have a material effect on Globix’s consolidated financial statements.

The Globix business segment (Internet services) recognizes revenue when delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. SAB No. 104 expresses the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff in applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to certain revenue recognition issues. Under the provisions of SAB No. 104, set up and installation revenue are deferred and recognized over the estimated length of the customer relationship, which in the case of our Globix segment is approximately 36 months. Monthly service revenue under recurring agreements related to Internet hosting, co-location, network services, Internet access and managed services is recognized over the period that service is provided. Revenue derived from project or event type managed service engagements is recognized over the life of the engagement. Payments received in advance of providing services are deferred until the period that these services are provided.

The NEON business segment (primarily fiber optic network services) offers leases of lit fiber (fixed amounts of capacity on fiber optic transmission lines that use optronics equipment installed by us) and longer term leases of dark fiber (fiber optic transmission lines leased without optronics equipment installed by us) at fixed cost pricing over multi year terms. Revenues from fiber optic network services are recognized ratably over the term of the applicable lease agreements with customers, which range from one to 20 years, provided there exists persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured. Amounts billed in advance of the service provided are recorded as deferred revenue. We also lease space to customers at our co-location facilities. Revenues from nonrecurring installation charges and design, engineering and

15


construction services are recognized ratably over the multi-year network services terms to which the nonrecurring charges relate provided there exists persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue for Internet services consists primarily of telecommunications costs for Internet access and managed hosting, payroll and occupancy which we incur in support of our network operations, systems and customer services and the cost of hardware and software purchased for resale to customers. Payroll costs allocated to cost of revenue are based on the primary activity of the department such as maintaining the network, customer support and systems operations. Occupancy and utility costs allocated to cost of revenue are based primarily on the square footage of our various facilities. Cost of revenue excludes depreciation and amortization. Telecommunications costs include the cost of providing local loop for connecting dedicated access customers to Globix’s network, leased line and associated costs related to connecting with Globix’s peering partners and costs associated with leased lines connecting Globix’s facilities to its backbone and aggregation points of presence.

Cost of revenue for Fiber services consists primarily of right of way fees, dark fiber leases, real estate and collocation leases, last mile circuit leases and network operations and maintenance costs. Right of way fees are paid primarily to utilities and public and private entities for the right to place fiber optic cable on their structures and property. Fiber leases are fees paid to other telecommunications providers for the use of their dark fiber over which we provide transport services. We lease real estate and co-location space to allow placement of optronics equipment to power our network. Last mile circuit leases consist of services from other carriers and local phone companies to extend transport services beyond our network to a customer location. Network operations and maintenance consists primarily of labor, contractor services and utility costs.

PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at depreciated historical cost adjusted for impairment and include fresh start adjustments. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives of property are as follows:

 

 

 

YEARS

 


Buildings and buildings improvements

10  –  44

 

 

Computer hardware and software and network equipment

2  –  20

 

 

Office furniture and equipment

3  –    7

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of additions and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property retired or sold are removed from the applicable accounts and any gain or loss is taken into income.

Software obtained for internal use is stated at depreciated historical cost adjusted for impairments and fresh start adjustments and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life.

Our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We adopted SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” when we emerged from bankruptcy in April 2002. SFAS 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and that certain intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized as assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination whether acquired individually or with a group of other assets. SFAS No. 142 provides that intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill will not be amortized but, will be tested at least annually for impairment. If an impairment is indicated then the asset will be written down to its fair value typically based upon its future expected discounted cash flows.

16


 

 

 

 

Our intangible assets are as follows:

 

 

Trademarks and trade name;

 

 

Network build-out/know-how; and

 

 

Customer contracts.

We amortize intangible assets by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Trademarks and trade name are amortized over a period of 7-15 years, network build-out/know-how is amortized over 8 years and the customer contracts are amortized over 2-10 years.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Use of estimates and assumptions include, but is not limited to, purchase price allocation, allowance for doubtful accounts, credit reserve, the useful lives and ultimate reliability of property, equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax valuation allowance and payroll and occupancy cost allocation between cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results may vary from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND CREDIT RESERVE

At each reporting period we evaluate on a specific basis the economic condition of our customers and their ability and intent to pay their debt. If such evaluation shows that it is probable that a customer will not settle his full obligation, a reserve against accounts receivable in general and administrative expense is recorded for the questionable amount. We also maintain a general bad debt reserve, which is based on the aging of our customers’ receivables. In addition, during each reporting period we must make estimates of potential future credits, which will be issued in respect of current revenues. We analyze historical credits and changes in customer demands regarding our current billings when evaluating credit reserves. If such analysis shows that it is probable that a credit will be issued, we reserve the estimated credit amount against revenues in the current period. As of June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 the balance of bad debt reserve amounted to approximately $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income tax expense in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves us estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as accruals and reserves, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Management currently estimates that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future and accordingly a 100% valuation allowance is recorded against the deferred tax assets.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30 2005

REVENUE, NET. Revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased 14.4%, or approximately $4.2 million, to $33.4 million from $29.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005.

Revenues for the major service lines were as follows. Revenue from Internet Hosting and Co-Location increased by $2.4 million, or 34.8%, to $9.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to $7.1 million in the same period in fiscal year 2005. This revenue growth has been driven by favorable pricing trends in the segment and increasing fill rates at our data centers. Revenue from Network Services and Internet Access decreased by $1.5 million, or 39.0%, to $2.3 million in third fiscal quarter of 2006 compared to $3.8 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2005, due to increased competition and associated price pressures for these services. Revenue from Hardware and Software Sales and Other decreased by $0.2 million to $0.1 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $0.3 million in the same period in fiscal year 2005, due to a decrease in Hardware sales and increased focus on recurring revenues as opposed to one time hardware revenues. Revenue from Managed Services decreased by $0.4 million, or 7.6%, to $4.8 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $5.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2005. Revenue from Lit and Dark Fiber Services, services newly offered in 2005 as a result of the acquisition of NEON, were $15.3 million and $1.2 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $11.4 million and $1.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The aggregate increase in revenue is the result of a focus on the Lit Fiber Services of our NEON segment. Foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British Pound did not have a material effect on the aforementioned analysis.

17


COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased to $19.0 million from $16.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $2.2 million. This increase in our cost of revenue is primarily related to our increase in revenues in the comparable quarters. Our gross margins for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 43.3% and 42.7% respectively. Foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British Pound did not have a material effect on the aforementioned analysis.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.3 million to $9.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $10.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Employee related costs and professional fees decreased by $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This was offset in part by an increase in rent and utilities costs. Foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British Pound did not have a material effect on the aforementioned analysis.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 were $6.5 million compared to $6.0 million in the same quarter in fiscal year 2005. This increase of $0.5 million is primarily the result of the increase of depreciable assets during the three month period ended June 30, 2006.

INTEREST AND FINANCING EXPENSES. Interest and financing expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $2.9 million, compared to $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as a result of our higher average outstanding balance of the 11% senior notes during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was relatively flat at $0.1 million, compared to $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE, NET. Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $0.2 million, compared to $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The variance of $0.1million is primarily the result of the rental income from tenants at our 139 Centre Street building during the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS. As a result of the factors described above, we reported net loss attributable to common stockholder of $3.9 million, or $0.08 basic and diluted loss per share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to a net loss of $6.3 million, or $0.13 basic and diluted loss per share for the same period in 2005.

18


NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005

REVENUE, NET. Revenue for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased 47.8%, or approximately $31.4 million to $97.2 million from $65.8 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005. Excluding $32.1 million of revenue as a direct result of the Neon acquisition, revenue for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 decreased by 1.4%, or approximately $0.7 million, compared to the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005.

Revenues from the major service lines were as follows. Revenue from Internet Hosting and Co-Location increased by $6.1 million, or 31.7%, to $25.7 million in the nine-months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $19.7 million in the same period in fiscal year 2005. Approximately $1 million of the increase is a result of Neon revenue. The remainder of the growth is driven by favorable pricing trends in the segment and increasing fill rates at our data centers. Revenue from Network Services and Internet Access decreased by $3.4 million, or 29.1%, to $8.4 million in the nine-months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $11.8 million in the same period of fiscal year 2005, due to increased competition and associated price pressures for these services. Revenue from Hardware and Software Sales and Other decreased by $1.5 million to $0.7 million in the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2.2 million in the same period in fiscal year 2005, which resulted primarily from a decrease in Hardware sales due to an increased focus on recurring revenues. Revenue from Managed Services decreased by $0.9 million, or 5.2%, to $15.3 million in the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $16.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2005. This decrease is the result of our focus on improving our core Internet Hosting and Co-Location business. Revenue from Lit and Dark Fiber Services were $43.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $14.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. The improvements in these service lines are the result of a full nine months of operation in 2006. The above analysis includes the negative effect of foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British Pound in the amount of approximately $1.1 million on our revenue for the nine-months ended June 30, 2006 over the nine-months ended June 30, 2005.

 

COST OF REVENUE. Cost of revenue for the nine-months ended June 30, 2006, increased to $53.5 million from $37.9 million in the nine-months ended June 31, 2005. $16.9 million of the increase is the direct result of our acquisition of Neon on March 7, 2005. The remaining decrease of approximately $1.2 million was primarily attributable to our change in sales strategy and the related decrease in hardware sales period over period. Our gross margins including the impact of the Neon acquisition for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 44.9% and 42.4% respectively. Foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British Pound did not have a material effect on the aforementioned analysis.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $32.7 million as compared to $27.0 million for the nine-months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively. This included a $4.9 million increase of selling, general and administrative expenses from Neon. The remaining increase of $0.8 million is primarily the result of an increase in professional fees and utilities in the nine-months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2005. The above analysis includes the positive effect of foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British Pound in the amount of approximately $0.6 million on our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-months ended June 30, 2006 over the nine-months ended June30, 2005.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 were $18.0 million compared to $14.0 million in the same period in fiscal year 2005. This increase of $4.0 million is primarily the result of a full nine months of Neon operations in 2006.

INTEREST AND FINANCING EXPENSES. Interest and financing expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was $7.7 million, compared to $7.1 million for the nine-months ended June 30, 2005, as a result of our higher average outstanding balance of the 11% senior notes during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million for the nine-months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to our newly implemented policy of overnight investment of our excess cash balances.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE, NET. Other income for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.7 million compared to other expense for the nine-months ended June 30, 2005 of $0.6 million. This difference included the recognition of a loss of $0.9 million on the sale of marketable securities during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005.

GAIN (LOSS) ON DISCHARGE OF DEBT. Loss on discharge of debt for the nine-months ended June 30, 2005 was $3.2 million. The $3.2 million loss was the direct result of the debt for equity swap described in note 8 to the financial statements.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS. As a result of the factors described above, we reported net loss of $14.2 million, or $0.29 basic and diluted loss per share, for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to a net loss of $23.8 million, or $0.79 basic and diluted loss per share, for the same period in 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2006, our negative working capital was $9,606 as compared to $8,378 as of September 30, 2005. The decrease in working capital as of June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the decrease in our cash and cash equivalents and an increase in our accrued liabilities, partially offset by an increase in our prepaid expenses.

Historically our cost structure in the Globix business segment exceeded our revenue base mainly due to high labor costs. This has led us to experience negative cash flows from operations and incur net losses. Our management believes that steps taken as part of our restructuring efforts to reduce facilities and personnel, combined with our ongoing efforts to derive efficiencies from our network have reduced our cash outflows, net of capital expenditures, to a level that approximates our cash inflows. We believe that this is supported by our current positive cash flows from operations.

Beginning in the second half of fiscal 2005, we experienced a demand for additional capital investment in the NEON business segment as well as unexpected operating costs and capital requirements in the Globix business segment. This led us to borrow $5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to meet our cash requirements.

Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and achieve profitability is dependent upon our ability to grow our revenue while controlling costs and becoming more efficient. We believe we will ultimately be able to meet our revenue and profitability targets by:

 

 

 

 

maintaining a monthly positive change in contract rate (negative churn),

 

 

 

 

pursuing long term contracts that take advantage of market demand for fiber optic network services,

 

 

 

 

focusing on the most profitable business lines within our existing capital and infrastructure constraints, including the provision of services solutions,

 

 

 

 

increasing prices, where possible and within current industry trends, for services such as power and space and

 

 

 

 

increasing the efficiency of our operations

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving sufficient profitability, attracting new customers, maintaining our existing churn levels or reducing our outstanding indebtedness. In addition, in the future, we may make acquisitions or investments, which, in turn, may adversely affect our liquidity. In such cases we will have to take drastic steps to reduce our operating expenses to meet our revenue base and liquidity needs. Such steps may include sales of assets, further reduction of our headcount, consolidation or elimination of facilities, termination of low margin customers, reduction of capital expenditures and negotiating with our creditors to restructure our indebtedness, mainly but not limited to our 11% and 9% senior notes.

As a result of the acquisition of NEON, we assumed commitments under standby letters of credit, issued primarily to secure certain leases, totaling approximately $7.1 million at June 30, 2006. We have no financial guarantees or other arrangements securing the obligations of any third parties or related parties other than our subsidiaries. Because of our limited cash resources and our limited access to capital markets, we may not be able to pursue further acquisitions and, in fact, may be forced to divest some or all of our businesses.

The indenture governing the 11% senior notes and the terms of the 9% senior notes contain a number of covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. These restrictions significantly limit, and in some cases prohibit, among other things, the ability of our company and certain of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, enter into business combinations or engage in certain activities with our subsidiaries.

NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

As of June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $6.0 million compared to approximately $4.4 million on June 30, 2005. This increase was mainly attributable to operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as described below.

20


OPERATING ACTIVITIES:

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $9.5 million compared to $3.3 million used in operating activities during the same period in 2005. The improvement in our cash outflow is due mainly to the decrease in our loss from operations excluding depreciation and amortization and loss on impairment of assets. As part of our normal course of doing business we experienced changes in our accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued interest, which in the aggregate did not have a material effect on our first nine months of fiscal 2006 operating cash flow.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES:

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine month period ended June 30, 2006 was $17.1 million. Approximately $19.2 million was used for capital expenditures, offset by proceeds of $2.0 million from AT&T from the fiber optic exchange.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine month period ended June 30, 2006 was $4.6 million. This was the result of proceeds of $5.0 million from the issuance of our 9% senior notes and was partially offset by $0.4 million used for paying our scheduled mortgage and capital lease payments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At June 30, 2006, $12.5 million of our cash and investments were restricted in accordance with the terms of certain collateral obligations.

We are also subject to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rates. To date, we have not utilized financial instruments to minimize our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. We will continue to analyze risk management strategies to minimize foreign currency exchange risk in the future. The Company believes that an immediate increase or decrease of 5% of the U.S. Dollar in comparison to the British Pound would not have a material impact on its operating results or cash flows.

We believe that we have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. The fair value of our investment portfolio or related income would not be significantly impacted by changes in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of the majority of our investment portfolio. An increase or decrease in interest rates would not significantly increase or decrease interest expense on debt obligations, due to the fixed nature of the substantial majority of our debt obligations.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives.

INTERNAL CONTROLS. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business operations. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome or effect of any legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, the Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the ultimate liabilities, if any, arising from any such legal proceedings would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2005 the Company filed a general unsecured claim in the bankruptcy proceeding involving Universal Access, Inc. (the “Claim”) pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division. Universal Access, Inc. objected to the Claim. The Company and Universal Access, Inc. negotiated a settlement on June 26, 2006 whereby the Company has been allowed a general unsecured claim of $1,150,000. This settlement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and distributions will be made to the Company, in the future, in accordance with the provisions of the “Second Amended Liquidating Ch 11 Plan Jointly Proposed by Universal Access Global Holdings Inc., Universal Access, Inc., Universal Access of Virginia, Inc., Universal Access Communications Inc. and Tri-Quad Enterprises, Inc., Debtors-In-Possession, And By the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors” as approved by the Bankruptcy Court. 

In May 2006 the Company was served with a complaint in an action entitled Media Express USA, Ltd. V. Globix Corporation which is pending in the New York County Supreme Court. The complaint seeks a total of $500,000 on two causes of action based on a claim that the Company failed to provide plaintiff with certain contracted-for services. The Company has filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint and is asserting numerous defenses.

In July 2006 the Company settled for $100,000 a Massachusetts state court action against CC&F Lincoln Street, LLC (“Lincoln Street”). The Company had been granted a default judgment in 2004 in a suit it had brought on a note that had been issued by Lincoln Street as part of a settlement involving a lease between the Company and Lincoln Street.

Other than noted above, there have been no developments in ongoing legal proceedings nor has any material litigation been commenced or threatened since the prior descriptions in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2005 Form 10-K, and the “Legal Proceedings” section of the 2005 Form 10-K.
