Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2001
(amounts in thousands, except share data)
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Loss Per Common Share

		Three months ended						Six months ended
		June 30,						June 30,
		2001			2000			2001			2000
Numerator:
	Net loss	$	(10,721	)	$	(698	)	$	(28,715	)	$	(1,312	)
	Dividends on Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock		—			(200	)		—			(400	)
	Accretion of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock		—			(24	)		—			(48	)
	Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(10,721	)	$	(922	)	$	(28,715	)	$	(1,760	)
Denominator:
	Denominator for basic and diluted loss per common share — weighted-average shares		28,428,803			12,780,023			27,932,409			11,771,303
Loss per common share — basic and diluted		$	(0.38	)	$	(0.07	)	$	(1.03	)	$	(0.15	)

Basic loss per share is based upon the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 because the result would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and warrants.

3. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

The Company acquired property and equipment under capital leases totaling $2,178 and $622 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $2,309 and $1,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Interest paid totaled $153 and $423 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $259 and $774 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

5. Xypoint Acquisition

As discussed more fully in Note 22 to the 2000 audited financial statements, the Company completed the purchase of Xypoint Corporation (“Xypoint”) for aggregate consideration of $69,005 on January 19, 2001. Xypoint is a leading provider of enhanced 911 services to wireless carriers and has focused its business on wireless technology which identifies and makes use of information as to a wireless user’s location. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and included a charge for in-process research and development.

The following summarizes unaudited pro forma statement of operations information for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, assuming the acquisition of Xypoint was completed on January 1, 2000. The in-process research and development charge is excluded from the pro forma statement of operations information because the charge is non-recurring. The results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had this transaction been consummated as of the beginning of the period nor of future operations of the Company:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2001			2000			2001			2000
Revenue	$	16,248		$	14,248		$	33,928		$	27,726
Net loss	$	(10,721	)	$	(7,451	)	$	(19,909	)	$	(13,851	)
Net loss attributable to common shareholders	$	(10,721	)	$	(7,675	)	$	(19,909	)	$	(14,299	)
Loss per common share, basic and diluted	$	(0.38	)	$	(0.47	)	$	(0.69	)	$	(0.93	)

6. New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The Company will apply the new rules of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in a decrease of net loss of $11,840 ($0.42 per share) per year. During 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

      The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other detailed information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such terms as “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” or “expects.” For example, the statement regarding our belief as to the sufficiency of our cash position for the next twelve months is a forward-looking statement. These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations. In light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all such projected operational matters, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved or that any of our operating expectations will be realized. Our revenue and results of operations are difficult to forecast and could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained in this report depending in particular on certain factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, our ability to (i) focus our business on network application software products and related services, (ii) continue to rely on third parties to market and sell our network application products and for other relevant support, (iii) adapt and integrate new technology into our products, (iv) expand our business offerings in the wireless data industry, (v) capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace, (vi) develop software without any errors or defects, (vii) implement our sales and marketing strategies and (viii) conduct our operations in foreign countries. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Company Background

      We are a developer and a licensor of Network Application Software Products that enable the delivery of Internet content, short messages, and enhanced communication services to a wide variety of wireless devices, including phones, two-way pagers and personal digital assistants. We also provide Network Application Services, which include the maintenance of our software and development of custom software applications. Our Network Applications group was expanded in January 2001 with the acquisition of Xypoint, adding enhanced wireless 911 and carrier grade network operations centers. These network operations centers enable the delivery of location services and other network applications on a service bureau basis. Our service bureau model allows customers to acquire use of our software functionality through network connections to and from our facilities and to pay us based on usage volume. Through our February 2001 acquisition of reachNET, we provide messaging services to the hearing impaired using paging devices on a service bureau basis. Our Network Solutions (formerly Communications Engineering) group designs and installs wireless and wireline networks including high speed, satellite, and internet protocol networks and communications systems for corporate and government enterprises.

      We were founded in 1987 and initially provided network solutions to the U.S. Department of Defense and other government customers. In 1996, we entered into a development agreement with Lucent Technologies to develop and co-own certain network application software, including Short Message Service Center. We have subsequently developed our proprietary Wireless Internet Gateway and related software and service bureau offerings to carrier and enterprise customers. Our January 2001 acquisition of Xypoint accelerated and enhanced our offerings of wireless location based messaging services.

      As the demand for software applications that provide data delivery to wireless devices grows, we expect our future revenue to continue to be increasingly derived from network application software licenses and related services. We have incurred net losses in three of the past five years. We may incur further net losses in the future. For the second half of 2001, we expect our operating expenses to be slightly higher than the first six months of 2001, primarily related to research and development expenditures.

Business Overview

      We manage our business in two segments, network applications and network solutions. Our network applications segment consists of the development and licensing of software products and the provision of related services. Our network solutions segment includes the design, development and deployment of complex information processing and communication systems and the provision of related services. The following table sets forth information on each of our segments:

				Three months ended						Six months ended
				June 30,						June 30,
				2001			2000			2001			2000

			Total segment loss	$	(11,131	)	$	(792	)	$	(29,657	)	$	(1,415	)

      Total company backlog at June 30, 2001 was $29.7 million, an increase from $21.2 million at June 30, 2000. The backlog at any given time may be affected by a number of factors, including contracts being renewed or new contracts being signed before existing contracts are completed. Accordingly, a comparison of backlogs from period to period is not necessarily meaningful and may not be indicative of eventual actual shipments or future revenue. From 1989 to June 1998, we participated as a minority-owned business enterprise for federal government contracting purposes under Section 8(a) of the U.S. Small Business Act. The last of these contracts is scheduled to end during 2001. We continue to perform under contracts awarded to us under this program, and in August 2000 received a waiver of the termination of the Section 8(a) contracts with the Small Business Administration to enable us to continue to perform under those contracts following our initial public offering. We had $3.8 million of backlog under such contracts as of June 30, 2001.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2001, our aggregate revenue from various U.S. government agencies was approximately $10.4 million and revenue from our Lucent channel was approximately $5.5 million, compared to $10.9 million from the U.S. government and $4.1 million from Lucent for the same period in 2000. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, our aggregate revenue from various U.S. government agencies was approximately $5.3 million and revenue from our Lucent channel was approximately $1.8 million, compared to $6.1 million from the U.S. government and $2.4 million from Lucent for the same period in 2000.

Network Applications Revenue

      We generate network applications revenue from two sources, licensing of our software products and provision of related services. The Short Message Service Center, Prepaid Wireless and Wireless Internet Gateway products have been the principal generators of software license fees. For products sold through our Lucent channel, Lucent pays us initial license fees generally equal to 50% of the revenue it generates from sales of the Short Message Service Center and Prepaid Wireless applications that we developed under the development agreement we entered into with Lucent. For sales of our Wireless Internet Gateway, Lucent pays us initial fees which we negotiate on a case by case basis and which have generally ranged between 75% and 90% of the sale value. Initial licensing fees are a function of the number of subscribers in the network where our software is deployed. As a carrier’s subscriber base increases, the carrier purchases additional capacity under its license agreement with Lucent and we receive additional revenue. We recognize license fee revenue when each of the following has occurred: (1) evidence of an arrangement is in place; (2) we have delivered software; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the fee is probable. Software license fees billed and not recognized as revenue are included in deferred revenue.

      In April 2000, we amended our development agreement with Lucent and granted Lucent the right to incorporate Prepaid Wireless software and other intellectual property developed by us into another prepaid wireless software application which Lucent now sells. Lucent has agreed to share revenue with us from the sale of this new prepaid wireless software for the next four years. We received 50% of the revenue from Lucent’s sales of this software for the twelve months ended March 31, 2001. We will receive 25% of this revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002 and 20% of this revenue for the 24 months ended March 31, 2004. We cannot predict the amount of revenue we will ultimately receive from the sale of this new prepaid wireless software application. If we sell the Prepaid Wireless software application developed under the development agreement with Lucent or any software primarily based upon it, we will split all revenue from these sales with Lucent. Additionally, we agreed to refrain from marketing Prepaid Wireless software to specified Lucent wireless carrier customers through March 31, 2001. Our license and related service revenue from the Prepaid Wireless software was approximately 4% and 5% of our network applications revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

      Our network application service revenue arises from annual maintenance fees for our packaged software products, monthly recurring service fees from our service bureau products and fees from development, implementation and maintenance of custom software. Maintenance fees on packaged software are collected in advance and recognized ratably over the annual maintenance period. Unrecognized maintenance fees are included in deferred revenue. Service bureau revenue is generated primarily from our enhanced 9-1-1 offering. Custom software development, implementation and maintenance services may be provided under time and materials or fixed-fee contracts. We recognize fixed-fee contract revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. We measure progress to completion using costs incurred compared to estimated total costs. We recognize estimated losses under long-term contracts in their entirety upon discovery.

Network Solutions Revenue

      We generate network solutions revenue from the design, development and deployment of complex information processing and communication systems for corporate and government enterprises. Examples of recent representative network solutions projects include work performed under our agreements with U.S. Department of State and State of Jigawa, Nigeria. We have an agreement with the State of Jigawa, Nigeria to build a network that will provide global Internet access, satellite communications connectivity, State-wide and local wireless Internet distribution and Internet protocol multimedia content to 26 cities within Jigawa. We deliver our Deployable Communications Systems (“DCS”) to the U.S. Department of State. The DCS system supports a worldwide network for use by the Department of State during trips abroad and throughout the United States and provides full network functionality and IP telephony capability using landlines and satellite-based technologies.

      We generally provide network solutions under long-term contracts. We recognize revenue under long-term contracts as billable costs are incurred and for fixed-price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by total costs incurred compared to total estimated costs. We recognize estimated losses on contracts in their entirety upon discovery. Under our contracts with the U.S. government, contract costs, including the allocated indirect expenses, are subject to audit and adjustment by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. We record revenue under these contracts at estimated net realizable amounts.

Direct Cost of Network Applications

      Our direct cost of network applications consists primarily of compensation, benefits and travel expenses incurred when providing our services.

Direct Cost of Network Solutions

      Our direct cost of network solutions consists primarily of compensation, benefits, travel, purchased equipment and systems components, and the costs of third-party contractors that we engage.

11

Sales and Marketing Expense

      Our sales and marketing expenses include compensation and benefits, and trade show, travel, advertising and public relations costs that are expensed as incurred. We primarily sell our network application software products through our relationship with Lucent. This sales process typically includes participation of our engineers along with Lucent in presenting our products to prospective customers. We also market our network applications and network solutions products and services by responding to requests for proposals and through our direct sales force. During the past two years, we have hired additional personnel to market our products directly to wireless carriers and enterprises.

Research and Development Expense

      Our research and development expense consists of the costs of developing software products incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility. We incur these costs to enhance existing packaged software products, enhance our service bureau offerings as well as to create new software products. These costs primarily include compensation and benefits for in-house developers, costs for third-party consultants, as well as costs associated with using third-party laboratory and testing resources. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred.

General and Administrative Expense

      General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and benefit costs and other costs associated with management, finance, human resources and internal information systems. These costs also include rent, utilities and other facilities costs that are expensed as incurred.

Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation Expense

      During the second and third quarters of 2000, we granted options to purchase 885,983 shares of Class A Common Stock to employees and directors at an exercise price less than the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock at the date of grant. We will record future additional stock compensation expense of approximately $7.3 million as a result of these option grants that will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, we recognized approximately $0.7 million and $1.5 million of stock compensation expense related to these grants.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

      Depreciation and amortization expense (other than amortization of software development costs) represents the period costs associated with our investment in computers, software, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements. We compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Amortization of Software Development Costs

      We capitalize software development costs after we establish technological feasibility, and amortize those costs over the estimated useful life of the software beginning on the date when the software is first available for general release. We calculate amortization of software development costs on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, which is never greater than four years. We also compute amortization using the ratio that current revenue for the product bears to the total of current and anticipated future revenue for that product. If this revenue curve method results in amortization greater than the amount computed using the straight-line method, we record amortization at that greater amount. Amortization as a percentage of software license fees is generally a higher percentage in the early stages of a product’s life cycle.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles and In-Process Research and Development

      In connection with our acquisitions of Xypoint and reachNET during the first quarter of 2001, we recorded $47.4 million and $3.1 million of goodwill and other intangibles, respectively. We also recorded an immediate expense of $9.7 million relating to in-process research and development in connection with the Xypoint acquisition.

Network application service revenue increased $4.2 million, or 162%, to $6.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000. The expansion of our network application services offerings in January 2001 to include Xypoint’s service bureau offering, enhanced 911, contributed $3.7 million to network application services revenue for the second quarter of 2001.

      Network solutions revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 16%, to $6.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 from $7.7 million in the same period in 2000. Second quarter revenue decreased from the prior year due to the timing of multi-month government projects, as well as lower revenue in the quarter from satellite solutions contracts.

      Direct Cost of Revenue. Total direct cost of revenue increased $0.7 million, or 10%, to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $7.4 million in the same period in 2000. As a percentage of revenue, direct cost of revenue decreased to 50% in second quarter of 2001 from 60% in the second quarter of 2000.

      Direct cost of network applications increased $2.0 million, or 113%, to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in direct cost of network applications is a result of the acquisition of Xypoint and the addition of $1.6 million of costs associated with those operations. The remaining increase in direct cost of network applications is a result of the increase in personnel and other related costs to support the increase in revenue as noted above. As a percentage of related revenue, direct cost of network applications increased from 37% in the second quarter of 2000 to 39% in the second quarter of 2001.

      Direct cost of network solutions decreased $1.3 million, or 23%, to $4.3 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 from $5.6 million for the same period in 2000. As a percentage of related revenue, direct cost of network solutions decreased to 68% in the second quarter of 2001 from 73% in the second quarter of 2000 due to lower direct costs associated with a particular customer.

      Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense increased $2.8 million, or 223%, to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $1.2 million for the same period of 2000. Since our initial public offering we have committed significant resources to creating a comprehensive sales and marketing group. We have focused on hiring sales and marketing personnel as well as developing marketing tools, participating in trade shows and other similar activities to promote our products and services to carriers outside of the Lucent channel as well as to enterprises.

      Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense increased $4.3 million, or 644%, to $5.0 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 from $0.7 million for the same period in 2000.

We anticipate that research and development expenses will continue to increase over the prior year due to product development efforts associated with all of our initiatives, including Message Distribution Center, enhanced 911 and various web and enterprise products.

      General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased $1.3 million, or 52%, to $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2001 from $2.6 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is due to the addition of personnel in general and administrative functions and additional expenses related to the expansion of our facilities to support the increased volume of software development and other business activities, as well as our 2001 acquisition of Xypoint and additional expenses in connection with our operation as a public company.

13

      Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased $0.6 million, or 114%, to $1.1 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 from $0.5 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2000. The increase is primarily related to the increase in property and equipment from the Xypoint acquisition.

      Amortization of Software Development Costs. Amortization of software development costs increased to $1.2 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 from $0.7 million for the same period in 2000. This increase is due to allocating $4.1 million of the Xypoint purchase consideration to software development costs. In the second quarter of 2001, $0.3 million of the Xypoint acquired technology was amortized. Amortization expense as a percentage of software license fees increased to 39% in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 from 30% for the same period in 2000 as a result of increased amortization expense period over period.

      Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles relating to our acquisitions of Xypoint in January 2001 and reachNET in February 2001 aggregated $3.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2001. In connection with the Xypoint and reachNET acquisitions, we recorded goodwill of approximately $47.4 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a four year period. We also recorded $1.5 million and $1.6 million in other intangibles related to workforce-in-place and trade name in connection with the Xypoint acquisition.

      Interest Income (Expense) and Other Financing Costs. Net interest income was $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to a net interest expense of $0.4 million for the same period in 2000. Our remaining initial public offering proceeds are invested in highly-liquid cash equivalents that earn interest income. Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2000 primarily represented interest on debt. We used $9.3 million of our initial public offering proceeds to extinguish outstanding debt during the third quarter of 2000.

      Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2001 compared to a net loss of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2000 due to the factors described above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

      Revenue. Total revenue increased $8.8 million, or 36%, to $33.4 million in the first half of 2001 from $24.6 million in the same period in 2000.

      Total network applications revenue increased $10.7 million, or 130%, to $18.9 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 from $8.2 million in the same period in 2000.

      General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense increased $3.0 million, or 67%, to $7.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $4.5 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is due to the addition of personnel in general and administrative functions and additional expenses related to the expansion of our facilities to support the increased volume of software development and other business activities, as well as our 2001 acquisition of Xypoint and additional expenses in connection with our operation as a public company.

      Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment increased $0.9 million, or 84%, to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $1.1 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is primarily related to the increase in property and equipment from the Xypoint acquisition.

      Amortization of Software Development Costs. Amortization of software development costs increased to $2.2 million in the first six months of 2001 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2000. This increase is due to allocating $4.1 million of the Xypoint purchase consideration to software development costs. In the first half of 2001, $0.6 million of the Xypoint acquired technology was amortized. Amortization expense as a percentage of software license fees decreased to 33% in the first six months of 2001 from 39% for the same period in 2000 as a result of the increase of software license fee revenue that has been recognized in the half of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

      Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles relating to our acquisitions of Xypoint in January 2001 and reachNET in February 2001 aggregated $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. In connection with the Xypoint and reachNET acquisitions, we recorded goodwill of approximately $47.4 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a four year period. We also recorded $1.5 million and $1.6 million in other intangibles related to workforce-in-place and trade name in connection with the Xypoint acquisition.

      Acquired In-Process Research and Development. In January 2001, we completed the acquisition of Xypoint for aggregate consideration of $69.0 million. Xypoint is a leading provider of enhanced 911 services to wireless carriers. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase transaction and, accordingly, the aggregate consideration was allocated to certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair market values with the excess being accounted for as goodwill. The amount allocated to goodwill, approximately $44.9 million, will be amortized on a straight-line basis over four years. In connection with the acquisition, we incurred a non-recurring charge to operating results of $9.7 million as a result of the write-off of in-process research and development that had not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use. The value assigned to in-process research and development was determined by estimating the costs to develop such technologies into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from such technologies and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The discount rate includes a factor that takes into account the uncertainty surrounding the successful development of the acquired in-process technologies. If these technologies are not successfully developed, our future results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, the value of other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.

15

      Below is a summary of the estimated stage of completion and fair value assigned to the acquired in-process research and development technologies as of the acquisition date.

					Fair
		Estimated			Value
		Stage of
		Completion			(in millions)
Transaction Capability Application Part (“TCAP”) Interface			47	%		$	1.3
Presence & Privacy			10	%			0.1
Voice Processing System			60	%			2.0
NOMAD(TM)			60	%			2.5
InfoLink(TM)			60	%			1.5
Gateway			60	%			2.3
	Total					$	9.7

      As of June 30, 2001, additional progress had been achieved on each of the six technologies that were underway as of the acquisition. In general, we believe that these research and development projects are on track with our plans at the time the acquisition occurred. Through June 30, 2001, no significant adjustments have been made in the economic assumptions or expectations that underlie our acquisition decision and related purchase accounting.

      Descriptions of estimates used to determine the value assigned to the in-process technologies and costs, timing and anticipated benefits of completing the development of process technologies are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual costs and timing to complete development of the technologies and any benefits derived therefrom will depend on many factors, including our ability to complete development of the technologies successfully, to overcome remaining technical obstacles and competing technologies, to gain market acceptance, to adapt to market developments and the availability of adequate capital resources to commercialize such technologies. If we are unsuccessful in developing or commercializing these technologies, we will not achieve the benefits expected from acquiring Xypoint and would likely discontinue our operations with respect to these in-process technologies. Additionally, even if successfully completed, these technologies will require maintenance research and development after they have reached a state of technological feasibility.

      Funding for such technologies is expected to be from our remaining initial public offering proceeds and internally generated sources. Although we intend to complete the development of these in-process technologies and management believes in the likelihood of their feasibility, there can be no assurance that such projects will be completed successfully, or that upon completion such technologies will achieve commercial success.

      Interest Income (Expense) and Other Financing Costs. Net interest income was $0.9 million for the first half of 2001 compared to a net interest expense of $0.8 million for the same period in 2000. Our remaining initial public offering proceeds are invested in highly-liquid cash equivalents that earn interest income. Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2000 primarily represented interest on debt. We used $9.3 million of our initial public offering proceeds to extinguish outstanding debt during the third quarter of 2000.

      Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $28.7 million in the first six months of 2001 compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the first half of 2000 due to the factors described above.

Future Assessment of Recoverability and Impairment of Goodwill

      In connection with our acquisition of Xypoint and reachNET, we recorded goodwill, which we are amortizing on a straight-line basis over 4 years. These are the periods during which we estimate we will benefit from this goodwill. At June 30, 2001, unamortized goodwill was $44.6 million, or 31.2% of our total assets and 36.4% of our stockholders’ equity. For financial reporting purposes, goodwill and all other intangible assets are amortized over the estimated period benefited. We have determined the period for amortizing goodwill based upon several factors, the most significant of which are the relative size, historical financial viability, growth trends of the acquired companies and the relative lengths of time these companies have been in existence.

      Management periodically reviews the carrying value and recoverability of our unamortized goodwill. If the facts and circumstances suggest that the goodwill may be impaired, the carrying value of goodwill would be adjusted. This would result in an immediate charge against income during the period of the adjustment and/or a shortening of the length of the remaining amortization period, which would result in an increase in the amount of goodwill amortization during the period of adjustment and each period thereafter until fully amortized. If we adjust goodwill, we cannot assure you that we will not have to make further adjustments for impairment and recoverability in future periods. The most significant of the factors we will consider in determining whether goodwill is impaired will be losses from operations; loss of customers; and industry developments such as our inability to maintain market share, the development of competitive products or services or imposition of additional regulatory requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      We have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through various lending arrangements, revenue from our operations and through our initial public offering in August 2000, which generated approximately $83.2 million of net proceeds. Our lending arrangements have provided funding through a line of credit, term notes and capital lease obligations. As of June 30, 2001, we had $51.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $56.9 million.

      We utilized $7.0 million of cash for operations for the first six months of 2001, an increase of $10.2 million compared to the $3.2 million provided by operations in the same period in 2000. Earnings before non-cash charges declined from $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to a $7.5 million loss before non-cash charges for the same period in 2001.

16

      The Company’s investing activities utilized $5.9 million of cash in the first six months of 2001. The Company expended $2.1 million in the first six months of 2001 for telecommunications and computer hardware. The Company also invested $1.8 million in network application software development and used $1.4 million in restricted cash to repay the note payable to our controlling stockholder.

      Our first quarter 2001 acquisitions of Xypoint and reachNET utilized $3.0 million of cash, net of cash acquired of $3.6 million. The cash payments included $2.7 million of acquisition costs for both Xypoint and reachNET, $0.7 million cash consideration for Xypoint and $0.5 million cash consideration for reachNET.

      We utilized $1.7 million of cash for financing activities in the first six months of 2001, of which $1.4 million was used to repay a note payable to our controlling shareholder. Payments on capital lease obligations of $1.0 million were offset by proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $0.5 million.

      As of June 30, 2001, our most significant commitments consisted of obligations under non-cancelable operating leases for office space and equipment. We have commitments of approximately $5.6 million that are payable through 2005, $1.4 million of which are payable in 2001.

      The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, and the funds anticipated to be generated from operations will be sufficient to finance the Company’s operations for at least the next 12 months. Although, we currently believe that we have sufficient capital resources to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditures requirements beyond the next twelve months, unanticipated events and opportunities may make it necessary for us to return to the public markets or establish new credit facilities or raise capital in private transactions in order to meet our capital requirements.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

      In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

      The Company will apply the new rules of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the non-amortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in a decrease of net loss of $11.8 million ($0.42 per share) per year. During 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002 and has not yet determined what the effect of these tests will be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

      We have limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. The interest rate on our revolving line of credit facility varies depending on the lender’s prime rate. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the lender’s prime rate would have an immaterial annual impact on our results of operations. Our capital leases have fixed interest rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not materially impact our results of operations. At June 30, 2001, we had cash and cash equivalents of $51.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of demand deposits and money market accounts that are interest rate sensitive. However, these investments have short maturities mitigating their sensitivity to interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse movement (decrease) in interest rates would increase our net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 by less than $137,000 and $302,000 respectively, resulting in no significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
