TEKELEC
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Tekelec and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair statement of our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations.
The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results
for the current year.
We operate under a thirteen-week quarter. For financial statement presentation purposes, the
reporting periods are referred to as ended on the last calendar day of the quarter. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010 are for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010, respectively.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the
notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note 2 Recent Acquisitions
In the second quarter of 2010 we completed the acquisitions of Camiant, Inc. (Camiant) and
Blueslice Networks, Inc. (Blueslice) for cash consideration of $127.0 million and $35.0 million,
respectively, for an aggregate of $162.0 million. We have included the results of operation of
these acquisitions in our consolidated results from the date of acquisition.
Select Pro-Forma Financial Information
The following represents our unaudited condensed pro-forma financial results as if the
acquisitions of Camiant and Blueslice had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period
presented. Unaudited condensed pro-forma results are based upon accounting estimates and judgments
that we believe are reasonable. The condensed pro-forma results are not necessarily indicative of
the actual results of our operations had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the periods
presented, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods. For
example, included in these pro-forma results is the estimated impact of intangible asset
amortization and other acquisition-related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Based on the estimated useful lives of certain intangible assets and how the acquisition-related
expenses are estimated to be incurred, pro-forma amounts presented in the table below for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 include less expense related to these items than our actual results for
the same periods.

Included in our actual operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is
$3.3 million of after tax amortization related to acquired intangible assets.
Note 3 Restructuring and Other Costs
In January 2011, we entered into an employment severance agreement with our former President
and Chief Executive Officer in connection with his resignation as an executive officer and employee
effective January 4, 2011. In connection with this agreement, we incurred approximately $2.5
million in severance costs that will be paid during 2011 and 2012 in 24 equal monthly installments.
During 2010 and continuing through 2011, demand for our Eagle 5 and other established
solutions has continued to decline as service providers shift their investments to data and other
broadband services. Further, while demand for our next-generation solutions has continued to grow,
the growth has not been able to offset the decline in demand for our Eagle 5 and other established
products. As a result, certain of our key operating metrics, such as total orders, total revenue,
gross margin, operating margin and revenue per employee, declined from our historical levels.
In response to this decline, in the first quarter of 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan
(the Plan) as part of our efforts to better align our operating cost structure with our current
and expected business opportunities. Under the Plan we have initiated the following actions:
|
|
|
a reduction of our overall headcount in the U.S and the consolidation of
positions from various global locations; in addition, subject to employee information
and consultation processes, reductions in positions in foreign countries. The overall
workforce reduction is expected to be approximately 10% to 15% of our workforce; |
|
|
|
|
a reduction of the discretionary portion of our operating costs through
various cost control initiatives, including: (i) reducing advertising expenditures;
(ii) delaying merit increases and modifying incentive compensation plans; (iii)
reducing capital expenditures; and (iv) reducing other discretionary expenditures, such
as costs related to outside consultants, travel and recruiting; and |
|
|
|
|
consolidation of certain facilities and the abandonment of certain assets
in connection with the consolidation of facilities. |
Included in our results from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are pre-tax
restructuring charges of $21.4 million related primarily to severance costs under our severance
policies, including the $2.5 million related to our former President and Chief Executive Officer
discussed above. These charges are included in Restructuring and other in the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated income statement for three months ended March 31, 2011. Under the
Plan, we anticipate that during 2011 we will incur total restructuring costs of between $23.0
million and $28.0 million. The Plan and the associated costs are based on our current best
estimates which could change materially, including without limitation as a result of employee
information and consultation processes conducted in local jurisdictions.
Subject to complying with and undertaking any necessary individual and collective employee
information and consultation obligations required by local law, we expect all of these activities
and associated expenses to occur by the end of 2011.

Note 5 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Recurring Measurements
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The
fair value of our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate
their respective carrying amounts based on the liquidity and short-term nature of these
instruments. The following table sets forth our financial instruments carried at fair value as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

|
The fair value of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2011 is based on quoted
prices in active markets for identical items and falls under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as
defined in the authoritative guidance.
8
Derivative Instruments
Our derivative instruments, which consist primarily of foreign currency forward contracts, are
recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value. These forward contracts are not formally
designated as hedges. The fair value of these contracts is based on market prices for comparable
contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are structured to expire on the last day of each
quarter, and we immediately enter into new contracts if necessary. Therefore, our derivative
instruments outstanding at period end are outstanding less than one full day when the reporting
period ends. Because of the short duration of these contracts, their fair value was not
significant as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Nonrecurring Measurements
We measure certain assets, accounted for under the cost method, at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other
than temporarily impaired.
We measure the fair value of our nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including but not
limited to, intangible assets, goodwill and restructuring obligations that are accounted for under
the authoritative guidance for exit or disposal cost obligations. We perform our annual impairment
test for intangible assets and goodwill on October 1st of each fiscal year and more
frequently upon the occurrence of certain events in accordance with the provisions of the
authoritative guidance for intangible assets and goodwill. In the first quarter of 2011, due to
the fact that our net book value exceeded our market capitalization, we performed an interim
goodwill impairment analysis in accordance with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for
intangible assets and goodwill. Our analysis indicated that no impairment existed as of March 31,
2011. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2011, we do not have any nonrecurring measurement disclosure
for these nonfinancial assets.
Note 6 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We operate internationally and thus are exposed to potential adverse changes in currency
exchange rates. We use derivative instruments (principally forward contracts to exchange foreign
currency) as a means of reducing our exposure to foreign currency rate changes on receivables and
other net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency forward
contracts require us to exchange currencies at rates agreed upon at the contracts inception. In
addition to these foreign exchange contracts, certain of our customer contracts contain provisions
that require our customers to assume the foreign currency exchange risk related to the applicable
transactions. The objective of these contracts is to reduce or eliminate, and efficiently manage,
the economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on our operating results as effectively as
possible. These contracts reduce the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rate movements because
the gains and losses associated with foreign currency balances and transactions are generally
offset with the gains and losses on the related contracts.
Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair
value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the
intended use of the derivative instrument and the resulting designation. We do not designate our
foreign currency exchange contracts as accounting hedges as defined by authoritative guidance for
derivatives and hedging, and, accordingly, we adjust these contracts to fair value through
operations (i.e., included in Other income (expense), net). We do not hold or issue financial
instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
We continually monitor our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As we
have expanded internationally, an increasing proportion of our revenues, costs and operating
expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, resulting in an increase in our foreign currency
exchange rate exposure. We enter into multiple forward contracts throughout a given month to
mitigate our changing exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations principally related
to receivables generated from sales denominated in non-functional currencies and our remeasurements
of international subsidiaries. Our exposure fluctuates as we generate new sales in non-functional
currencies and as existing receivables related to sales in non-functional currencies are collected.
Additionally, our exposure related to remeasurements of our subsidiaries financial statements
fluctuates with the underlying activity in those entities. Our foreign currency forward contracts
generally will have terms of one month or less and typically mature on the last day of any given
period. We then immediately enter into new foreign currency forward contracts, if necessary.

As of March 31, 2011, all of our derivative instruments are maintained with Wells Fargo
Bank, and potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk, which may result in credit
related losses in the event of the banks nonperformance. We mitigate this risk by monitoring
Wells Fargos credit ratings published by major rating firms (Fitch, Standard & Poors, and
Moodys). In addition, we monitor Wells Fargos Credit Default Swap spread on a quarterly basis to
assess the banks default risk relative to its peers.
As discussed above, our foreign currency forward contracts are structured to expire on the
last day of the accounting period, and we immediately enter into new contracts if necessary.
Therefore, our derivative instruments outstanding at period end are outstanding less than one full
day when the reporting period ends and, accordingly, their fair value was not significant as of
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

the contracts (i.e. forward points), and are generally offset by a corresponding foreign currency
gain or loss on the underlying hedged transaction (e.g., customer accounts receivable). The gain
or loss on both the derivative instrument and the

technology intangible assets associated with the Steleus and iptelorg acquisitions. Based on
current technological trends and our related expected business opportunities, we shortened the
useful lives of these assets from a remaining weighted average life of 3.75 years at the time the
evaluation was performed to an estimated life of approximately one year.
The estimated future amortization expense of purchased intangible assets with finite lives as
of March 31, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill
As required by the authoritative guidance for intangibles and goodwill, we do not amortize our
goodwill balances, but instead test our goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st
and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events in accordance with the provisions of the
authoritative guidance for intangibles and goodwill. In the first quarter of 2011, due to the fact
that our net book value exceeded our market capitalization, we performed an interim goodwill
impairment analysis in accordance with the provisions of the authoritative guidance for intangible
assets and goodwill. Our analysis indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its
net book value by over 20%, and thus no impairment existed as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31,
2011, no impairment losses were recognized with respect to goodwill.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are

Note 9 Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
we are required to estimate our full-year income and the related income tax expense in each
jurisdiction in which we operate. Changes in the geographical mix or estimated level of annual
pretax income can impact our effective tax rate or income taxes as a percentage of pretax income
(the Effective Rate). This process involves estimating our current tax liabilities in each
jurisdiction in which we operate, including the impact, if any, of additional taxes resulting from
tax examinations, as well as making judgments regarding the recoverability of deferred tax assets.
Tax liabilities can involve complex issues and may require an extended period to resolve. To
the extent that the recovery of deferred tax assets does not reach the threshold of more likely
than not based on our estimate of future taxable income in each jurisdiction, a valuation
allowance is established. While we have considered future taxable income and the existence of
prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance, in
the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred
tax assets in the future, we would charge to income tax expense an adjustment resulting from the
establishment of a valuation allowance in the period in which such a determination was made.
We conduct business globally, and as a result, one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax
returns in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are
subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. During 2008, the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) completed an examination of tax years 2004 through 2006; therefore, our
U.S. federal income tax returns for tax years prior to 2007 are generally no longer subject to
adjustment. In the first quarter of 2011, the IRS commenced its examination of tax years 2007
through 2009 as a result of Tekelec having filed a refund claim related to a capital loss generated
in 2009. As a result, we have extended the statute of limitations on our 2007 tax year. With
respect to our U.S. state tax returns, we are generally no longer subject to examination of tax
years prior to 2007 in our primary state tax jurisdictions. We are also currently under
examination by the state of North Carolina resulting from a refund claim filed with respect to our
2007 and 2008 tax years. Our foreign income tax returns are generally no longer subject to
examination for tax periods 2003 and prior. Although it is possible that certain tax examinations,
including the IRS examination, could be resolved during the next 12 months, the timing and outcomes
are uncertain.
With respect to tax years that remain open to federal, state and foreign examination, we
believe that we have made adequate provision in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements for any potential adjustments the IRS or other taxing authority may propose
with respect to income tax returns filed. We may, however, receive an assessment related to an
audit of our U.S. federal, state or foreign income tax returns that exceeds amounts provided for by
us. In the event of such an assessment, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact
on our results of operations for the period in which the matter is ultimately resolved or an
unfavorable outcome is determined to be more likely than not to occur.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 our effective tax rate was a benefit of 41% based on
the pre-tax loss for the quarter. The effective tax rate for this period differs from the
statutory rate of 35% primarily due to (i) research and development tax credits in various
jurisdictions, (ii) U.S. state income tax benefit, (iii) recognition of
13
certain previously unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the completion of studies related to our global transfer
pricing policies, and (iv) the jurisdictional split of our global income in countries with lower tax rates,
as offset by tax expense related to accounting for stock-based compensation and the required tax treatment under
the authoritative guidance discussed further below. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our effective
tax rate was 36%. The effective tax rate for this period differed from the statutory tax rate of 35%
primarily due to (i) state income tax expense, (ii) tax expense resulting from employee stock
option cancellations and the required tax treatment under the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation as
discussed below, and (iii) an offsetting tax benefit of lower tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which
we operate.
We no longer have a pool of windfall tax benefits as defined by the authoritative guidance
for stock-based compensation. As a result, future cancellations or exercises that result in a tax
deduction that is less than the related deferred tax asset recognized under the authoritative
guidance will negatively impact our effective tax rate and increase its volatility, resulting in a
reduction of our earnings. The authoritative guidance for stock compensation requires that the
impact of such events be recorded as discrete items in the quarter in which the event occurs. For
the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a discrete tax expense of $1.6 million as
compared to $0.5 million recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010 associated with our
stock compensation plans.
Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnities, Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
In the normal course of our business, we make certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees
under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These
indemnities, commitments and guarantees include, among others, intellectual property indemnities to
our customers in connection with the sale of our products and licensing of our technology,
indemnities for liabilities associated with the infringement of other parties technology based
upon our products and technology, guarantees of timely performance of our obligations, guarantees
and indemnities related to the reliability and performance of our equipment, and indemnities to our
directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by law. The duration of these indemnities,
commitments and guarantees varies, and, in certain cases, is indefinite. Many of these indemnities,
commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future
payments that we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded a liability for these
indemnities, commitments or guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets because future payment is
not probable.
From time to time, various claims and litigation are asserted or commenced against us arising
from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property matters, product warranties and
personnel and employment disputes. As to such claims and litigation, we can give no assurance that
we will prevail. However, we currently do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending
matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
On January 6, 2011, a purported class action complaint was filed against us and certain of our
current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina
alleging claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The case purports to be brought on behalf of a class of
purchasers of our stock during the period February 11, 2010 to August 5, 2010. The complaint
generally alleges violations of federal securities laws based on, among other things, claimed
misstatements or omissions regarding our business and prospects in emerging markets. The complaint
seeks unspecified damages, interest, attorneys fees, costs, and expenses. As we are in the very
early stages of this potential litigation, we are unable to predict the outcome of this case or
estimate a range of potential loss related to this matter. Although the Company denies the
allegations in the complaint and intends to vigorously pursue its defense, we are unable to predict
the outcome of this case. An adverse court determination in the purported class action lawsuit
against us could result in significant liability and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
On February 7, 2011, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the California Superior
Court of Santa Clara County against certain current and former officers and directors. The suit
alleges that named parties breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by, among other things,
making statements between February, 2010 and August, 2010 which plaintiffs claim were false and
misleading and by allegedly failing to implement adequate
internal controls and means of supervision at the Company. On March 3, 2011, a nearly
identical shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central
District of California. These suits seek an unspecified amount of damages from the named parties
and modifications to the Companys corporate governance policies. The allegations in the
complaints are similar to the purported class action complaint discussed above. The
14
individual defendants intend to vigorously defend the suits and the Company, on whose behalf
these claims purport to be brought, intends to move to dismiss the shareholder derivative
complaints on the grounds that the derivative plaintiffs did not file the claims in accordance with
applicable laws governing the filing of derivative suits. As we are in the very early stages of
these litigations, we are unable to predict the outcome of these cases or estimate a range of
potential costs related to these matters.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is designed to provide a better understanding of our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, including a brief discussion of our business and
products, key factors that impacted our performance, and a summary of our operating results. The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Historical results and percentage relationships among
any amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods.
Overview of Our Business and Products
We are a leading global provider of communication core network solutions. Our solutions help
enable billions of people and devices to talk, text, and access the Web. These solutions are
designed to provide our customers telecommunications networks with an effective and robust
intelligence layer with which to offer their subscribers improved customer experience through
optimization, personalization, mobility and security. Our customers predominantly include mobile
(or wireless), fixed (or wireline), and cable service providers (collectively, service
providers). We have more than 300 customers in over 100 countries, including nine out of ten of
the worlds largest mobile carriers.
Our products assist our customers in meeting the demands of their subscribers and the
challenges of deploying a multimedia network in competitive communications environments.
Our portfolio provides a layer of network intelligence designed to enable service providers to rely
on real-time network metrics for improved levels of network decision making. In turn, service
providers can dynamically manage their networks, prioritize traffic, and prevent network
disruptions. This portfolio of products includes one of the most widely deployed standalone
signaling application platforms in the telecommunications industry that provides full signal
transfer point (STP) capabilities and number portability solutions. In addition to these
established solutions, our next-generation portfolio, which is enabled by our EAGLE XG middleware
platform, includes applications that provide session and policy management, performance management,
and subscriber data management for todays evolving networks.
Our solutions are designed to address the fundamental challenge facing service providers:
network capacity requirements growing more rapidly than service provider revenues. Our solutions
are engineered to cost-effectively scale relative to service provider capacity requirements and the
corresponding increase in application transactions. Our solutions are comprised of elements
from our portfolio of proprietary software which are increasingly being integrated with commercial
hardware, operating systems and database technologies. Complementing our intelligence layer
solutions with advances in technology, such as multi-core processors, virtualization software and
browser-based cloud computing, enables our software and systems to deliver intelligence at layers
four to seven of our customers IP networks. We believe that our core network solutions are
cost-effective for our customers and enable them to provide value to their subscribers.
We derive our revenues from the sale or licensing of these core network solutions and the
related professional services (for example, installation and training services) and customer
support, including customer post-warranty services. Payment terms in contracts with our customers
are negotiated with each customer and are based on a variety of factors, including the customers
credit standing and our history with the customer.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Morrisville, North Carolina, and we have research
and development facilities, sales offices and customer support facilities located throughout the
world.
Internal Control and Corporate Governance
We consider our internal control over financial reporting a high priority and continually
review all aspects of and make improvements in our internal control. Our executive management is
committed to ensuring that our internal control over financial reporting is complete, effective and
appropriately documented. In the course of our evaluation of our internal control, we seek to
identify material errors or control problems and to confirm that the appropriate corrective
actions, including process improvements, are being undertaken. We also seek to deal with any
control matters in this evaluation, and in each case if a problem is identified, we consider what
revision,
19
improvement or correction to make in accordance with our ongoing procedures. Our continued
objective is to maintain our internal control as a set of dynamic systems that change (including
improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.
In addition to striving to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial
reporting, we also strive to follow the highest ethical and professional standards in measuring and
reporting our financial performance. Specifically, we have adopted a code of conduct for all of
our employees and directors that requires a high level of professionalism and ethical behavior. We
believe that our accounting policies are prudent and provide a clear view of our financial
performance. We utilize our internal audit function to help ensure that we follow these accounting
policies and to independently test our internal control. Further, our Disclosure Committee,
composed primarily of senior financial and legal personnel, helps ensure the completeness and
accuracy of the reporting of our financial results and our other disclosures. In performing its
duties, the Disclosure Committee consults with and obtains relevant information from key functional
areas such as operations, finance, customer service and sales, and utilizes an internal
certification process that solicits responses from these functional areas. Prior to the release of
our financial results, key members of our management review our operating results and significant
accounting policies and estimates with our Audit Committee, which consists solely of independent
members of our Board of Directors.
Operating Environment and Key Factors Impacting our Results
In order to better understand the trends within our business, we believe it is important to
understand the varying dynamics across geographical regions, particularly between developed and
emerging markets. Within developed markets, we believe our customers are shifting their investments
from 2G and 3G networks to investments in their next-generation networks, such as Long Term
Evolution (LTE) as a result of the slowing growth of voice and text messaging traffic. While the
shift in our customers focus has accelerated the decline in orders for our Eagle 5 and other
established products, it has resulted in an increase in demand for our next-generation products.
Our orders for the first quarter of 2011 were up 22% as compared to orders for the first
quarter of 2010, primarily due to growth in our next-generation product portfolio, including orders
from policy and subscriber data management solutions associated with the Camiant and Blueslice
acquisitions. Orders for our next-generation portfolio were $26.1 million for the quarter, an
increase of over 80% as compared to the same period in 2010. Both our total orders and
next-generation orders for the first quarter of 2010 exclude orders from the solutions obtained in
our acquisitions of Camiant and Blueslice. Prior to the acquisitions, Camiant and Blueslice orders
were approximately $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2010.
One of the primary drivers for this growth was a multi-million dollar order in the first
quarter of 2011 for our Diameter Signaling Router (DSR) solution in connection with a nationwide
LTE rollout by a Tier One service provider. This integrated solution, which also includes our
subscriber data management and performance management products, will centralize network routing
data and help manage the providers subscriber profile information. Diameter is the signaling
protocol used predominantly in operators all-data networks for policy, charging, mobility
management and certain IMS functions. We believe a centralized intelligent session management
layer is critical for an efficient, scalable network.
While we were pleased with the overall order performance of our next-generation portfolio in
the first quarter, orders for our performance management solution declined by $4.5 million during
the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of last year. We believe the market for
our performance management solution is transitioning from monitoring traditional voice traffic to a
focus on analyzing mobile data traffic. Given this technology transition, coupled with a more
competitive market environment, the conversion time of our pipeline to orders has lengthened and
our win rate of new orders has decreased, negatively impacting our orders for this solution.
Orders for Eagle 5 and other established products showed a modest growth of 2% in the first
quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to higher year-over-year
orders received from international regions. Despite this year-over-year order growth in the first
quarter, we continue to expect a 2011 year-over-year order decline of 15% or more for our Eagle 5
products.
While demand for our next-generation solutions has continued to grow, the growth has not been
able to offset the decline in demand for our Eagle 5 and other established products. Accordingly,
we have seen a decrease in our total orders in 2010. As a result, in 2010 and 2011, certain of our
key operating metrics, such as total revenue, gross margin, operating margin and revenue per
employee, declined from our historical levels.
20
In response to this decline, in the first quarter of 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan
(the Plan) as part of our efforts to better align our operating cost structure with our current
and expected business opportunities. Upon completion of the restructuring, we expect to reduce our
annual operating expenses by $20.0 million to $25.0 million. The post restructuring run rate is
inclusive of an anticipated shift in investments from our established product to our
next-generation solutions.
Despite the decline in our operations, we continue to operate a cash flow positive business,
as we generated $24.4 million of cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2011. We had
$240.9 million in cash and no debt at the end of the first quarter of 2011.

Orders increased 22% on a year-over-year basis from $56.7 million in the first
quarter of 2010 to $69.5 million in the first quarter of 2011 for the reasons discussed previously.
Backlog decreased by $33.4 million, or 10%, from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011,
primarily due to the seasonal nature of our orders as revenues typically exceed orders during the
first half of the year. Backlog decreased by $3.0 million, or 1%, from March 31, 2010 to March 31,
2011, primarily due to the decline in our Eagle 5 business which is not yet offset by the increase
in demand for our next-generation portfolio. Additionally, the favorable impact of foreign
exchange fluctuations (primarily related to the Euro) resulted in a $4.9 million increase in
backlog.
Revenues decreased by 7% to $107.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 from $116.0
million in the first quarter of 2010. Revenues from the solutions obtained from our acquisitions
of Camiant and Blueslice represented $7.3 million of our total revenues in the first quarter of
2011. Our 2011 revenues were negatively impacted by a lower backlog available at the beginning of
the year, which was caused by a decline in annual orders in 2010.
Operating Income (Loss) decreased from $22.2 million of operating income in the first
quarter of 2010 to $26.3 million of operating loss in the first quarter of 2011, driven primarily
by (i) a reduction in gross margins of $19.8 million due to lower revenues as previously discussed
and lower gross margins associated with a higher proportion of revenues from emerging markets and
certain one-time costs related to product warranties and inventory reserves, (ii) a restructuring
charge of $21.4 million, and (iii) an increase in intangible assets amortization expense of $5.1
million as a result of acquiring Camiant and Blueslice in the second quarter of 2010.
Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share decreased to $0.23 loss per share in the first
quarter of 2011 from $0.20 earnings per share in the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to the
decrease in operating income discussed above.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues decreased by 7% to $107.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 from $116.0 million in
the first quarter
of 2010 due primarily to the fact that we entered 2011 with backlog that was approximately
$35.0 million lower than the backlog at the beginning of 2010. The following discussion provides a
more detailed analysis of changes in revenues by product line.

Product Revenues
Our product revenues decreased by $5.6 million, or 7%, in the first quarter of 2011
compared with the first quarter of 2010 due primarily to the decrease in revenue from our
performance management products. As we mentioned above, we believe the market for this product
is transitioning from monitoring voice traffic to monitoring data traffic and as a result we saw
a decline in orders in 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011 for our voice-centric offerings.
We believe this market transition and the resulting decline in orders are causing the decline in
our performance management revenues.
Worldwide, our product revenues have been impacted by a variety of factors in addition to
those discussed above, including: (i) industry consolidation resulting in a delay and/or
decline in our customer orders; (ii) competitive pricing pressure, particularly with respect to
our Eagle 5 product line; (iii) the pricing of our SIGTRAN-based products, which are typically
priced at a significantly lower price per equivalent link or unit of throughput than our
traditional SS7-based products, resulting in reductions in our orders and revenues; (iv) our
current ability to sell our next-generation products, such as session management, policy
management, subscriber data management and mobile messaging products to new and existing
customer base; and (v) the amount of signaling traffic generated on our customers networks,
impacting our volume of orders. We derive the majority of our product revenues from wireless
operators, which generate significantly more signaling traffic than wireline networks. As a
result, these networks require significantly more signaling infrastructure than wireline
networks. Signaling traffic on our wireless customers networks may be impacted by several
factors, including growth in the number of subscribers, the number of calls made per
subscriber, roaming and the use of additional features, such as text messaging.
Warranty Revenues
Warranty revenues include revenues from (i) our standard warranty coverage, which is
typically provided at no charge for the first year but is allocated a portion of the arrangement
fee in accordance with the authoritative guidance for software revenue recognition and (ii) our
extended warranty offerings. After the first year warranty, our customers typically purchase
warranty services for periods of up to a year in advance, which we reflect in deferred revenues.
We recognize the revenue associated with our warranty services ratably over the term of the
warranty arrangement based on the number of days the contract is outstanding during the period.
Warranty revenues increased by 7% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first
quarter of 2010. This increase was principally due to the increase in our installed base of
customers globally.
The timing of recognition of our warranty revenues may be impacted by, among other
factors: (i) delays in receiving purchase orders from our customers; (ii) the inability to
recognize any revenue, including revenue associated with the first year warranty, until the
delivery of all product deliverables associated with an order is complete; and (iii) receipt of
cash payments from the customer in cases where the customer is deemed a credit risk.
22
Professional and Other Services Revenues
Professional and other services revenues primarily consist of installation services,
database migration and training services. Substantially all of our professional service
arrangements are billed on a fixed-fee basis. We typically recognize the revenue related to
our fixed-fee service arrangements upon completion of the services, as these services are
relatively short-term in nature (typically several weeks, or in limited cases, several months).
Our professional and other services are typically initiated and provided to the customer
within a three to nine month period after the shipment of the product, with the timing
depending on, among other factors, the customers schedule and site availability.
Professional and other services revenues for the first quarter of 2011 decreased by $3.9
million, or 19%, as compared to the first quarter of 2010. This decrease is primarily due to a
decline in services related revenues for our performance management products, which are
typically more service intensive than our other solutions. This decline was partially offset
by year-over-year professional and other services revenues growth in our next-generation
session and policy management and subscriber data management products.
Regardless of the mix of products purchased, new customers require a greater amount of
installation, training and other professional services at the initial stages of deployment of
our products. As our customers gain more knowledge of our products, the follow-on orders
generally do not require the same levels of services and training, as our customers tend to
either: (i) perform the services themselves; (ii) require limited services, such as
installation only; or (iii) require no services, and, in particular, no database migration or
training services.
Cost of Sales
In order to better understand our cost structure, we analyze and present our costs and
expenses in the categories discussed below:
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold includes: (i) materials, labor, and overhead costs incurred internally and
paid to contract manufacturers to produce our products; (ii) personnel and other costs incurred to
install our products; and (iii) customer service costs to provide continuing support to our
customers under our warranty offerings. Cost of
goods sold in dollars and as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Cost of goods sold increased in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues in the
first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in cost of goods sold
in 2011 is primarily attributable to (i) approximately $2.0 million of warranty-related costs and
inventory write-offs that were incurred during the first quarter of 2011 related to hardware
transitions and delivery requirements associated with our policy and subscriber data management
products, (ii) a $2.0 million write-off of deferred costs related to a customer in the Middle East
due to collectability concerns and therefore our ability to recover these costs, and (iii) a higher
percentage of our 2011 revenues being derived from India where our margins are below our corporate
average.
As we continue to expand our international presence, our cost of goods sold as a percentage of
revenues may be negatively impacted as the result of our decision to develop new sales channels and
customer relationships in new markets, and also due to price competition. Further, many of our
next-generation products are initial system sales, which are typically at lower gross margins than
our corporate average. However, as we seed these products in our installed base, the follow-on
orders in many cases are expected to be software only and therefore at margins above our corporate
average. In addition, changes in the following factors may also affect margins: the ability to
increase revenues to cover fixed costs; product mix; competition; customer discounts; supply and
demand conditions in the electronic components industry; internal and outsourced manufacturing
capabilities and efficiencies; foreign
23
currency fluctuations; pricing pressure as we expand
internationally; government regulations and policy such as security considerations and net
neutrality, tariffs, and local content; and general economic conditions.

The increase in amortization in 2011 is primarily due to the amortization associated with
Camiant and Blueslice intangibles acquired in May 2010. Additionally, during the first quarter of
2011 we evaluated the remaining useful lives of purchased technology intangible assets associated
with the 2004 Steleus and 2005 iptelorg acquisitions. Based on current technological trends and
our related expected business opportunities, we shortened the useful lives of these assets with the
resulting increase in amortization reflected in our first quarter cost of sales.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include costs associated with the development of new
products, enhancements of existing products and quality assurance activities. These costs consist
primarily of employee salaries and benefits, occupancy costs, outsourced development and consulting
costs, and the cost of development equipment and supplies. The following sets forth our research

Although we reduced expenses associated with our Eagle 5 product line, our investment in
the next-generation portfolio exceeded these reductions. As a result, research and development
expenses in the first quarter of 2011 as
24
compared to the first quarter of 2010 were higher across
all expense categories, principally due to an increase of $3.9 million associated with expenses
related to our policy and subscriber data management acquisitions. These acquisitions were
completed in May of 2010 and were not included in our expense profile for the first quarter of
2010.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs associated with our sales force and
marketing
personnel, including: (i) salaries, commissions and related costs; (ii) costs of outside
contract personnel; (iii) facilities costs; (iv) advertising and other marketing costs, such as
tradeshows; and (v) travel and other costs. The following table sets forth our sales and marketing

The increase in sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to
the same period of 2010 was observed across all expense categories and is primarily attributable to
(i) additional sales and marketing personnel costs associated with May 2010 acquisitions of Camiant
and Blueslice, (ii) increased travel, marketing, and employee related expenses as a result of
increased activities associated with our next-generation products, and (iii) an increase in third
party commissions which are typically paid at much higher rates than those to our direct sales
force.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses are composed primarily of costs associated with our
executive and administrative personnel (e.g., finance, legal, business development, information
technology and human resources personnel) and consist of: (i) salaries and related compensation
costs; (ii) consulting and other professional services (e.g., litigation and other outside legal
counsel fees and audit fees); (iii) facilities and insurance costs; and (iv) travel and other
costs. The following table sets forth our general and administrative expenses in dollars and as a

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2011 remained comparable to
the first quarter of 2010. Employee compensation related expenses decreased due to lower incentive
compensation and fewer equity grants in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter
of 2010. The above decreases were partially offset by an increase in consulting and professional
services as a result of additional legal fees associated with patent and litigation related items.
Restructuring and Other Costs
In January 2011, we entered into an employment severance agreement with our former President
and Chief Executive Officer in connection with his resignation as an executive officer and employee
effective January 4, 2011. In connection with this agreement, we incurred approximately $2.5
million in severance costs that will be paid during 2011 and 2012 in 24 equal monthly installments.
During 2010 and continuing through 2011, demand for our Eagle 5 and other established
solutions has continued to decline as service providers shift their investments to data and other
broadband services. Further, while demand for our next-generation solutions has continued to grow,
the growth has not been able to offset the decline in demand for our Eagle 5 and other established
products. As a result, certain of our key operating metrics, such as total orders, total revenue,
gross margin, operating margin and revenue per employee, declined from our historical levels.
In response to this decline, in the first quarter of 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan
(the Plan) as part of our efforts to better align our operating cost structure with our current
and expected business opportunities. Under the Plan we have initiated the following actions:
|
|
|
a reduction of our overall headcount in the U.S and the consolidation of positions
from various global locations; in addition, subject to employee information and
consultation processes, reductions in positions in foreign countries. The overall
workforce reduction is expected to be approximately 10% to 15% of our workforce; |
|
|
|
|
a reduction of the discretionary portion of our operating costs through various cost
control initiatives, including: (i) reducing advertising expenditures; (ii) delaying
merit increases and modifying incentive compensation plans; (iii) reducing capital
expenditures; and (iv) reducing other discretionary expenditures, such as costs related
to outside consultants, travel and recruiting; and |
|
|
|
|
consolidation of certain facilities and the abandonment of certain assets in
connection with the consolidation of facilities. |
Included in our results from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are pre-tax
restructuring charges of $21.4 million related primarily to severance costs under our severance
policies, including the $2.5 million related to our former President and Chief Executive Officer
discussed above. These charges are included in Restructuring and other in the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated income statement for three months ended March 31, 2011. Under the
Plan, we anticipate that during 2011 we will incur total restructuring costs of between $23.0
million and $28.0 million. The Plan and the associated costs are based on our current best
26
estimates which could change materially, including without limitation as a result of employee
information and consultation processes conducted in local jurisdictions.
Subject to complying with and undertaking any necessary individual and collective employee
information and consultation obligations required by local law, we expect all of these activities
and associated expenses to occur by the end of 2011. The Plan and the associated costs are based
on our current best estimates which could change materially if activity, such as but not limited to
the results of employee information and consultation processes conducted in local jurisdictions
differ from our expectations.
Upon completion of the restructuring, we expect to reduce our annual operating expenses by
$20.0 million to $25.0 million. The post restructuring run rate is inclusive of an anticipated
shift in investments from our established product to our next-generation solutions.
Given that many of the positions potentially affected by this restructuring activity are in
international locations, and are subject to notification and consultation processes, the majority
of these annualized savings are not expected to be realized until 2012.

Interest income and expense. Interest income decreased during the three months ended
March 31, 2011 due to lower interest bearing cash balances in 2011 as a result of our purchase of
Camiant and Blueslice in May 2010, as well as the first quarter of 2010 including investments in
auction rate securities that earned a higher rate of interest income. These auction rate securities
were fully redeemed in the second quarter of 2010.
Foreign currency gain (loss), net. Foreign currency loss, net and other for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 consists primarily of (i) the net cost of our hedging program related
to foreign currency risk, including the gains and losses on forward contracts on foreign currency
exchange rates used to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risks, (ii) foreign currency gains
and losses associated with the underlying hedged item (principally accounts receivable), and (iii)
remeasurement adjustments from consolidating our international subsidiaries. The loss on foreign
currency decreased in the first quarter of 2011 from that of the first quarter of 2010 primarily
due to lower hedging costs and improved hedging efficiency. As we expand our international
business further, we will continue to enter into a greater number of transactions denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. Dollar and will be exposed to greater risk related to exchange rate
foreign currency fluctuations and translation adjustments.
Provision for Income Taxes
The income tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were
approximately ($11.1) million and $7.6 million, respectively, resulting in income tax expense
(benefit) as a percentage of pre-tax income, or an effective tax rate, of 41% benefit and 36%
expense, respectively.
The difference in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as
compared to the same period in 2010, is primarily due to an overall pre-tax loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared to profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and the
relative impact of R&D tax credits in 2011, whereas a similar benefit was not recognized in the
first quarter of 2010 due to the expiration of the U.S. R&D tax credit for that period. This
credit was later retroactively extended through December 31, 2011. The first quarter of 2011
included a greater tax charge than the first quarter of 2010 resulting from the accounting for
stock-based compensation and the required tax treatment under the relevant authoritative guidance;
however, the increase in the charge from 2010 to 2011 was offset by the recognition of previously
unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the completion of studies related to our global transfer
pricing policies.
Please refer to Note 9 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for a discussion of the reconciliations of our effective tax rates for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 to the statutory rate of 35%.
We no longer have a pool of windfall tax benefits as defined by the authoritative guidance
for stock-based compensation. As a result, future cancellations or exercises that result in a tax
deduction that is less than the related deferred tax asset recognized under the authoritative
guidance will negatively impact our effective tax rate and increase its volatility, resulting in a
reduction of our earnings. The authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation requires that
the impact of such events be recorded as discrete items in the quarter in which the event occurs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a discrete tax expense of $1.6 million as
compared to $0.5 million recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Liquidity
We derive our liquidity and capital resources primarily from our cash flows from operations
and from our working capital. The significant components of our working capital are liquid assets
such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and deferred costs and commissions, reduced
by trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued compensation and related expenses, and the
current portion of deferred revenues.
Our working capital decreased to $269.3 million as of March 31, 2011 from $286.9 million as of
December 31, 2010, primarily due to the increase in accrued expenses as a result of our 2011
restructuring. In addition, our inventory levels decreased due to our focus on inventory
management, and accounts receivable declined as expected due to cash collections exceeding first
quarter billings. These results are in line with the normal trend for our orders and billings,
which result in higher levels of receivables at year-end and significant cash collections in the
first quarter. Partially offsetting the above were increases in our cash balances due to the cash
inflow from operating activities of $24.4 million. Our cash and cash equivalents were $240.9
million and $220.9 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
In addition, as of March 31, 2011, we had a line of credit facility of $75.0 million, which
includes a sub-limit for letters of credit, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The line
of credit is unsecured except for our pledge of 65% of the outstanding stock of certain
subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit
facility, other than approximately $2.8 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Our $5.0 million letter of credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank of California expired on
December 31, 2009 and can no longer be used to issue new letters of credit. As of March 31, 2011,
there was approximately $0.2 million in outstanding letters of credit originated prior to the
expiration date and outstanding under this facility, all of which were fully collateralized by
Tekelec.
We believe that our current working capital position, available line of credit and anticipated
cash flow from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations and
capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, we believe these resources
will allow us to continue to invest in further development of our technology and, when necessary or
appropriate, make selective acquisitions to continue to strengthen our product portfolio. Our
liquidity could be negatively impacted by a decrease in orders resulting from a decline in demand
for our products or a reduction of capital expenditures by our customers.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.4 million and $14.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in our cash flows from operations
was primarily due to higher cash collections of accounts receivable and improved inventory
management. The improved management of working capital items offset the decline in earnings on a
year over year basis.
29
Our cash flows from operations were primarily derived from: (i) our earnings from ongoing
operations prior to non-cash expenses such as stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization,
bad debt, write-downs of inventory, warranty reserve charges, and deferred income taxes; and (ii)
changes in our working capital, which are primarily composed of changes in accounts receivable,
inventories, deferred revenue and associated deferred costs, accounts payable, accrued expenses and
accrued payroll and related expenses.
Our ability to generate future positive cash flows from operations could be negatively
impacted by, among other factors, a decrease in demand for our products, which are subject to
technological changes and increasing competition, or a reduction of capital expenditures by our
customers should they continue to remain cautious with their spending.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was ($5.9) million and $11.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our cash flows from investing
activities primarily relate to (i) strategic acquisitions; (ii) purchases and sales of investments;
and (iii) purchases of property and equipment. During the first quarter of 2010, a portion of our
ARS portfolio was called by the respective issuers resulting in proceeds of $13.4 million. Our
investment in property and equipment amounted to $5.9 million and $2.4 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We continue to closely monitor our capital expenditures while making strategic investments in
the development of our existing products and the replacement of certain older computer and
information technology infrastructure to meet the needs of our workforce. For 2011, we expect our
total capital expenditures to be at or below 2010 levels.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($0.3) million and $5.6 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended March 31,
2011, our financing activities primarily consisted of proceeds of $0.6 million from net issuances
of common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options and our employee stock purchase
plan, offset by $1.0 million of employee withholding tax payments made as a result of net share
settlements of equity awards.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our financing activities primarily consisted of
proceeds of $7.9 million from net issuances of common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee
stock options and our employee stock purchase plan, including the excess tax benefit on those
exercises, partially offset by $2.3 million of employee withholding tax payments made as a result
of net share settlements of equity awards.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The statements that are not historical facts contained in this Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as may, will, intend, should, could, would,
expect, plan, anticipate, believe, estimate, project, predict, potential, and
variations of these words and similar expressions are sometimes used to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements reflect the current belief, expectations, estimates, forecasts or
intent of our management and are subject to and involve certain risks and uncertainties. There can
be no assurance that our actual future performance will meet managements expectations. As
discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our future operating results are difficult to
predict and subject to significant fluctuations. Factors that may cause future results to differ
materially from managements current expectations include, among others:
|
|
|
the effects on our revenue performance of our year-over-year decline in orders in 2010
and the increasing portion of our orders that are for newer products with longer
order-to-revenue conversion cycles and lower margins on initial sales; |
30
|
|
|
our increasing dependence on next-generation products with which we have less experience
forecasting, building, and selling and for which the markets are less mature and more
subject to demand and technology changes and increased competition; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that we may experience detrimental effects,
such as employee distraction and litigation, from our 2011
restructuring activities,
or may not realize the benefits of such activities, including as a
result of delays resulting from our complying with and undertaking,
or our noncompliance with, any necessary individual and collective
employee information and consultation obligations; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of the recent economic crisis on overall spending by our customers, including
increasing pressure from our customers for us to lower prices for our products and warranty
services, access to credit markets by our customers and the impact of tightening credit on
capital spending, and further changes in general economic, social, or political conditions
in the countries in which we operate; |
|
|
|
|
the uncertainty associated with the resignation of our former CEO and our former EVP of
Global Sales, and the interim status of our current CEO, and the impact these transitions
may have on our customer, vendor, and employee relationships; |
|
|
|
|
the continued decline in sales of our Eagle 5 related products, including the ability of
carriers to utilize excess capacity of signaling infrastructure and related products in
their networks; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to compete, particularly on price, with other manufacturers that have lower
cost bases than ours and/or are partially supported by foreign government subsidies or
employ unfair trade practices; |
|
|
|
|
risks related to our international sales, markets and operations, including but not
limited to: import regulations, limited intellectual property protection ( including
limited protection of our software source code), withholding taxes and their effect on cash
flow timing, and increased costs and potential liabilities related to compliance with
current and future security provisions in customer contracts and government regulations,
including in particular those imposed by the government of India; |
|
|
|
|
exposure to increased bad debt expense and product and service disputes as a result of
general economic conditions and the uncertain credit markets worldwide; |
|
|
|
|
the timely development and acceptance of our new products and services, including the
timing of demand for integrated next-generation signaling solutions, the training of our
employees on new products, our product mix and the geographic mix of our revenues and the
associated impact on gross margins and operating expenses, and the effect of any product
that fails to meet one customers expectations on the sale of that or any other products to
that or other customers; |
|
|
|
|
uncertainties related to the timing of revenue recognition due to the increasing
percentage of next-generation solutions in our backlog, as we have a limited history of the
order to revenue conversion cycle; |
|
|
|
|
the onerous terms and conditions, including liability provisions, imposed by our
customers in connection with new product deployments; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to gain the benefits we anticipate from our acquisitions, including our
acquisitions of Camiant and Blueslice and including expected sales of new products and
synergies between the companies products and operations; |
|
|
|
|
continuing financial weakness in the telecommunications equipment sector, resulting in
pricing pressure on our products and services, as certain of our competitors consolidate,
reduce their prices, lengthen their payment terms and enter into terms and/or conditions
that are generally less favorable to them; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that continued service provider consolidation or outsourcing of network
maintenance and operations functions will insert a potential competitor between us and our
customers and/or erode our level of service to such service providers and/or negatively
affect our margins; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that our financial results for the full year 2011 will not meet our
expectations; |
|
|
|
|
the lengthy sales cycles for our products, particularly for our new or acquired
products; |
|
|
|
|
the availability and success or failure of advantageous strategic and vendor
relationships; |
|
|
|
|
litigation, including patent-related litigation, any adverse outcome from or effects of
the securities litigations we currently have filed against us, and regulatory matters and
the costs and expenses associated therewith; and |
|
|
|
|
other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010 and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. |
Many of these risks and uncertainties are outside of our control and are difficult for us to
forecast or mitigate. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such
forward-looking statements. We do not assume any responsibility for updating or revising these
forward-looking statements. Undue emphasis or reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking
statements contained herein or made elsewhere by or on behalf of us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2010. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December
31, 2010 other than as discussed in Note 5 Fair Value of Financial Instruments to the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and under the caption Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on managements evaluation (with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer), as of the end of the quarter covered by this report, our
Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), are effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial
reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors and all fraud. Any control
system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system must
reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error
or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or
more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is
based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
