SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements made under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, beliefs and current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. We often identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “seek,” “predict,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” or other comparable words.

Specifically, this quarterly report contains, among others, forward-looking statements regarding:
 
 
·
future cash flows, cash requirements, profitability, revenues, and expenses, including capital expenditures;
     
 
·
our ability to negotiate for lower bandwidth rates and otherwise proactively manage expenses as our IP traffic continues to grow;

 
·
our ability to respond successfully to technological change including the evolution of the high performance Internet connectivity, content delivery, streaming, and related services industries;

 
·
the availability of services from Internet network service providers or network service providers providing network access loops and local loops on favorable terms, or at all;

 
·
the availability of third party suppliers to deliver their products and services on favorable terms, or at all;

 
·
the performance of our network operations centers, network access points or computer systems;
 
 
·
our ability to protect our intellectual property;
 
 
 
 
·
the expansion of our data center facilities and other infrastructure, including the funding for such expansion;
     
 
·
the consistency of our days sales outstanding;
 
 
 
 
·
the future recognition of deferred tax assets and use of net operating loss carryforwards; and
 
 
 
 
·
the future demand for IP services, data center services and CDN services.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based upon our historical performance and on our current plans, estimates and expectations. You should not regard the inclusion of this forward-looking information as a representation by us or any other person that we will achieve the future plans, estimates or expectations contained in this quarterly report. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. In addition, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described in Part I, Item IA. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, and in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

You should not construe these cautionary statements as exhaustive and should read such statements in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this quarterly report. Moreover, we operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time. We cannot predict these new risks or uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact, if any, that any such risks or uncertainties may have on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those projected in any forward-looking statement. Accordingly, the risks and uncertainties to which we are subject can be expected to change over time, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or review the risks or uncertainties described in this quarterly report. We also undertake no obligation to update publicly or review any of the forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If one or more of the risks or uncertainties referred to in this quarterly report materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we have projected. Any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial condition, growth strategy, and liquidity. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this quarterly report that could cause actual results to differ. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. In addition, with respect to all of our forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

As used herein, except as otherwise indicated by the context, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Internap Network Services Corporation and its subsidiaries.

INTERNAP NETWORK SERVICES CORPORATION 
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Internap Network Services Corporation (“Internap,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) delivers high performance and reliable Internet solutions through a suite of network optimization and delivery product and services. These solutions, combined with progressive and proactive technical support, enable companies to confidently migrate business-critical applications, including audio and video streaming and monetization services, to the Internet. Our suite of products and services support a broad range of Internet applications. The Company currently has more than 3,500 customers serving financial services, healthcare, technology, retail, travel, and media/entertainment markets. Our customers are located in the United States and abroad and include several Fortune 1000 and mid-tier enterprises. Our product and service offerings are complemented by IP access solutions such as data center services, content delivery networks, or CDN, and managed security. We deliver services through our 45 service points across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Our Private Network Access Points, or P-NAPs, feature multiple direct high-speed connections to major Internet networks including AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Savvis, Global Crossing Telecommunications, and Level 3 Communications. We operate and manage the Company in four business segments: IP Services, Data Center Services, CDN Services, and Other.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2007 and our operating results, cash flows, and changes in stockholders' equity for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from our audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses in the financial statements. Examples of estimates subject to possible revision based upon the outcome of future events include, among others, recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, depreciation of property and equipment, restructuring allowances, stock-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts, network cost accruals and sales, use and other taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods or for the year ending December 31, 2007.
 
Revisions.

We have revised our presentation of the $1.2 million second quarter write-off of our investment in Aventail Corporation, which we discuss in note 8, to correctly report the charge as other expense in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 with a corresponding reduction for the period to asset impairment and restructuring costs.   We had previously reported the charge as an asset impairment and restructuring cost. In addition, we revised the classification of our auction rates securities that we acquired in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from reporting them as cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet to correctly reporting them as short-term investments.

Business Combination

On February 20, 2007, we completed the previously announced acquisition of VitalStream Holdings, Inc., or VitalStream, for approximately $214.0 million, whereby VitalStream became a wholly owned subsidiary of Internap. VitalStream provides products and services for storing and delivering digital media to large audiences over the Internet and ad insertion and related advertising services to companies that stream digital media over the Internet. VitalStream also enhances our position as a leading provider of high performance route control products and services by adding complementary service offerings in the rapidly growing content delivery and on-line advertising markets. Integrating VitalStream's digital media delivery platform into our portfolio of products and services enables us to provide customers with one of the most complete product lines in content delivery solutions, content monetization and on-line advertising, while supporting the significant long-term growth opportunities in the network services market. We accounted for the transaction using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Our results of operations include the activities of VitalStream from February 21, 2007 through September 30, 2007.

Purchase Price
 
                Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of February 20, 2007. The total $214.0 million purchase price is comprised of the following (in thousands):

                 As a result of the acquisition, we issued approximately 12.2 million shares of Internap common stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.5132 shares of Internap common stock for each outstanding share of VitalStream common stock as of February 20, 2007. This fixed exchange ratio gave effect to the one-for-ten reverse stock split by Internap implemented on July 11, 2006 and the one-for-four reverse stock split by VitalStream implemented on April 4, 2006. The average market price per share of Internap common stock of $16.16 was based on an average of the closing prices for a range of trading days from October 10, 2006 through October 16, 2006, which range spanned the announcement date of the transaction on October 12, 2006.  
 
                Under the terms of the merger agreement, each VitalStream stock option that was outstanding and unexercised was converted into an option to purchase Internap common stock and we assumed that stock option in accordance with the terms of the applicable VitalStream stock option plan and terms of the stock option agreement. Based on VitalStream's stock options outstanding at February 20, 2007, we converted options to purchase approximately 3.0 million shares of VitalStream common stock into options to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of Internap common stock. We determined the fair value of the outstanding options using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions: volatility of 48.8% to 120.1%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.7% to 5.1%; remaining expected lives ranging from 0.18 to 6.25 years; and dividend yield of zero.
 
Purchase Price Allocation
 
                Under the purchase method of accounting, we allocated the total estimated purchase price to VitalStream's net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of February 20, 2007. We recorded the excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets as goodwill. We determined the fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The allocation of the purchase price and the estimated useful lives are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Goodwill
   
154,786
     
 
Total estimated purchase price
  $
214,022
         
                
Net tangible assets. We reviewed and adjusted VitalStream's tangible assets and liabilities as of February 20, 2007 to their fair value as necessary. Net tangible assets included restricted and unrestricted cash of $9.8 million, accounts receivable of $3.2 million, property and equipment of $11.2 million, other assets of $2.2 million, loan and security agreement and capital lease obligations of $6.1 million, and accounts payable and other liabilities of $8.0 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we paid off the term loans and line of credit assumed in the VitalStream acquisition.
 
Identifiable intangible assets.  Developed technologies relate to VitalStream products across all of their product lines that have reached technological feasibility and include processes and trade secrets acquired or developed through design and development of their products. Customer relationships represent contracts with existing customers. Trade name primarily relates to the VitalStream and other product names. Amortization of identifiable intangibles is on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives.
 
In-process research and development.  As of the closing date, one project was in development that has not reached technological feasibility and therefore qualifies as in-process research and development. The amount allocated to in-process research and development was charged to the statement of operations in the period the acquisition was consummated, the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Goodwill.  We allocated approximately $154.8 million to goodwill for the CDN Services segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded a net increase of $0.1 million to goodwill as a result of normal adjustments to certain pre-acquisition assets and liabilities. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we will not amortize goodwill but instead will test it for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if certain indicators are present. A total of $18.4 million of goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

Pro Forma Results
 
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 as if the acquisition of VitalStream had occurred at the beginning of each period. Prior to the acquisition, VitalStream was a customer of ours, and for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized revenue of $0.2 million from VitalStream and settled the receivables in the normal course of business. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what the Company's operating results would have been had the acquisition actually taken place at the beginning of each period (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock-Based Compensation
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we granted less than 0.1 million stock options and unvested restricted common stock awards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we granted 0.6 million stock options and 0.6 million unvested restricted common stock awards, which includes 0.5 million options and 0.4 million unvested restricted common stock awards granted in conjunction with annual performance evaluations and bonuses. Total stock-based compensation expense was $2.2 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $6.6 million and $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts include less than $0.1 million of capitalized stock-based compensation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine stock-based compensation expense.
 
The VitalStream stock option/stock issuance plan provided for the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options or shares of common stock directly to certain key employees, members of the board of directors, consultants, and independent contractors according to the terms of the plan. There were 5.4 million VitalStream shares, or 2.8 million Internap shares on a post-converted basis, reserved for issuance under the plan and 0.5 million VitalStream shares, or 0.3 million Internap shares on a post-converted basis, available for grant. Generally, the assumed options had exercise prices equal to the stock price on the date of grant and had contractual terms of 5 years. Vesting schedules ranged from quarterly periods over one year to four years with 1/4th vesting after one year and 1/16th vesting each quarter thereafter.
 
 
5.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
We computed basic net income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates the dilutive effect for only those stock options and warrants for which the sum of proceeds, including unrecognized compensation and any windfall tax benefits, is less than the average stock price during the period presented. This method excludes potentially dilutive shares from the computation of net income (loss) per share if their effect is antidilutive.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006 are calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of August 1 and estimated the fair value of our reporting units utilizing a discounted cash flow method. Based on the results of these analyses, our goodwill was not impaired as of August 1, 2007.
 
The assumptions, inputs and judgments used in performing the valuation analysis are inherently subjective and reflect estimates based on known facts and circumstances at the time the valuation is performed. The use of different assumptions, inputs and judgments, or changes in circumstances, could materially affect the results of the valuation. Adverse changes in the value of our reporting units would necessitate an impairment charge of our goodwill. In connection with our acquisition of VitalStream on February 20, 2007, we recorded $154.8 million of additional goodwill based on our allocation of the VitalStream purchase price, as discussed in note 2. The total recorded amount of goodwill was $191.1 million and $36.3 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
 
Generally, any adjustments made as a result of the impairment testing are required to be recognized as operating expense. We will continue to perform our annual impairment testing as of August 1 each year absent any impairment indicators that may cause more frequent analysis, as required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

Also in connection with our acquisition of VitalStream on February 20, 2007, we recorded $46.5 million of additional amortizing intangible assets. The components of our amortizing intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2007, expected amortization expense in future periods is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Restructuring and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
As of March 31, 2007, we incurred a restructuring and impairment charge of $10.3 million. The charge was the result of a review of our business, particularly in light of our acquisition of VitalStream and our plan to finalize the overall integration and implementation plan before the end of the first quarter. The charge to expense included $7.8 million for leased facilities, representing both the costs less anticipated sublease recoveries that will continue to be incurred without economic benefit to us and costs to terminate leases before the end of their term. The charge also included severance payments of $1.2 million for the termination of certain employees and $1.3 million for impairment of assets. Related expenditures are estimated to be $10.7 million, beginning immediately and continuing through December 2016, the last date of the longest lease term. The impairment charge of $1.3 million is related to the leases referenced above and less than $0.1 million for other assets.

We also recorded a $1.1 million impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2007 for the sales order-through-billing system, which was a result of an evaluation of the existing infrastructure relative to our new financial accounting system and the acquisition of VitalStream.

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, we announced plans in 2001 to exit certain non-strategic real estate lease and license arrangements, consolidate and exit redundant network connections, and streamline the operating cost structure in response to overcapacity created in the Internet connectivity and IP services market.

8.           Write-off of Investment

We incurred a charge as of June 30, 2007, totaling $1.2 million, representing the carrying value of our investment in series D preferred stock of Aventail Corporation, or Aventail. We made an initial cash investment of $6.0 million in Aventail series D preferred stock pursuant to an investment agreement in February 2000. In connection with a subsequent round of financing by Aventail, we recognized an initial loss on our investment of $4.8 million in 2001. On June 12, 2007, SonicWall, Inc. announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire Aventail for approximately $25.0 million in cash. The transaction closed on July 11, 2007, and all shares of series D preferred stock were cancelled and the holders of series D preferred stock did not receive any consideration for such shares.

9.           Credit Facility

On September 14, 2007, we entered into a $35.0 million credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders who may become a party to the Credit Agreement from time to time.  VitalStream Holdings, Inc., VitalStream, Inc., PlayStream, Inc., and VitalStream Advertising Services, Inc., four of the Company’s subsidiaries, are guarantors of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement replaces our prior credit facility, which was evidenced by a Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank that was last amended on December 27, 2005.  We paid off and terminated this prior credit facility concurrently with the execution of the Credit Agreement.

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured, pursuant to a pledge and security agreement and an intellectual property security agreement, by a security interest granted in substantially all of the assets of the Company including the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement provides for a four-year revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Credit Facility, in the aggregate amount of up to $5.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  With the prior approval of the administrative agent, we may increase the total commitments by up to $15.0 million for a total commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility of $20.0 million.  The Revolving Credit Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2007, no amounts are outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.

           The Credit Agreement also provides for a four-year term loan, or the Term Loan, in the amount of $30.0 million.  We borrowed $20.0 million concurrently with the closing and used a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan to pay off the prior credit facility.  

The interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan is a tiered LIBOR-based rate that depends on the Company’s 12-month trailing EBITDA. As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate was 7.075%.

We will only pay interest on the Term Loan during the first 12 months of its four-year term.  Commencing on the last day of the first calendar quarter after the first anniversary of the closing, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan will amortize on a straight-line schedule with the payment of 1/16 of the original principal amount of the Term Loan due quarterly.  We will pay all unpaid amounts at maturity, which is September 14, 2011.

The Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, negative and affirmative covenants, including certain financial covenants relating to net funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as customary events of default and certain default provisions that could result in acceleration of the Credit Agreement.  As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The net proceeds received from the Term Loan were reduced by $0.3 million for fees paid to Bank of America and its agents.
We treated these fees was a debt discount and will amortize the fees to interest expense using the interest method over the term of the loan. We recorded  less than $0.1 million of related amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the balance on the Term Loan, net of the discount, was $19.7 million. We incurred other costs of less than $0.1 million in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, which  we recorded as debt issue costs and will amortize over the term of the Credit Agreement.

As a result of the transactions discussed above, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of less than $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The loss on extinguishment of debt is included in the caption Other, net within the Non-operating (income) expense section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The maturity of the Term Loan at September 30, 2007, which does not reflect the debt discount, is as follows (in thousands):

Also during the three months ended September 30, 2007, we paid off the term loans and line of credit issued pursuant to the loan and security agreement assumed in the VitalStream acquisition, as discussed in note 2.

Georgia Tax Credit
 
In 2007, the Georgia Department of Revenue approved our 2003 application for the Georgia Headquarters Tax Credit, or the HQC, with a stipulation that we apply the credit against our June payroll tax liability. The HQC is available for corporate taxpayers (a) establishing or relocating their headquarters to Georgia, (b) investing a minimum of $1 million in certain property and (c) employing a minimum number of new full-time employees in the State of Georgia at or above a required wage level. Employers may use this credit for either corporate state income tax or payroll withholding tax. The approved credit was $0.3 million. We are applying for credits for 2004 through 2007, but we cannot determine the amount of potential credit at this time.

11.
Income Taxes
 
         The provision for income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 consisted of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The entire provision is a non-current expense as a result of goodwill amortization for tax purposes from the acquisition of VitalStream.
 
         The noncurrent provision represents an effective tax rate of negative 3%. The effective tax rate is based on management’s current expectations for the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2007, in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes ” and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting.”
 
         APB Opinion No. 28 requires that companies report income taxes on interim periods’ financial statements using an estimated annual effective tax rate. Using this method, we compute income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. To determine the estimated effective rate, we use the actual effective tax rate year-to-date as the best estimate for the annual effective rate.
 
         We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our unrealized deferred tax assets of approximately $191.3 million, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. As a result of the VitalStream acquisition, however, $0.7 million in deferred tax liabilities from goodwill amortization for tax purposes exists as of September 30, 2007. We may recognize deferred tax assets in future periods when they are estimated to be realizable, such as establishing expected continuing profitability of the Company or certain of our foreign subsidiaries. To the extent we may owe income taxes in future periods, we intend to use our net operating loss carryforwards to the extent available to offset taxable income and reduce cash outflows for income taxes.
 
         Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” or FIN 48. In connection with the adoption, we formalized our policy to recognize income tax related interest and penalties within general and administrative expense. In the aggregate, the adoption did not have a material effect on the financial statements. Subsequently, we have not discovered any uncertain income tax positions for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
         Because we conduct business globally, certain of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in foreign jurisdictions, as well as federal and state jurisdictions of the United States. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including the jurisdictions of Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
 
         We are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, for the 2004 tax year. The examination phase of the audit likely will conclude in 2007, and an adjustment to our net operating loss carryforward might result. As of September 30, 2007, the IRS has not proposed any adjustments. Tax years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by jurisdictions to which we are subject to adjustment upon audit prior to fully utilizing net operating loss carryforwards.
 
12.
Contingencies, Litigation and Subsequent Event
 
As part of our acquisition of CO Space, Inc. on June 20, 2000, we assumed a pre-acquisition accounts payable liability of $1.3 million. As disclosed in our 2003 financial statements, we wrote off the $1.3 million liability amount, as we believed the obligation no longer existed. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we received an inquiry from the vendor regarding the status of the former $1.3 million payable and on March 19, 2007, ADC Telecommunications, Inc. sued us in Minnesota state court.   We settled this suit on June 29, 2007 for less than $0.1 million, which we expensed when we incurred the settlement cost and associated legal costs.
 
17

 
On October 10, 2007, a purported stockholder of the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse Group and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the lead underwriters of our initial public offering in September, 1999, and our secondary offering of common stock in April, 2000, alleging violations of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 78p(b).  The complaint seeks to recover from the lead underwriters any “short-swing profits” obtained by them in violation of Section 16(b).  We were named as a nominal defendant in the action, but have no liability for the asserted claims.  We believe that the same plaintiff has sued the lead underwriters in at least 55 other initial public offerings that took place around the same time as ours for alleged violations of Section 16(b).   The plaintiff similarly named the issuer as a nominal defendant in each such suit.  We are considering what, if any, action to take in response to this litigation.   We do not anticipate that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse impact on our financial position.
 
 From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

13.
Rights Agreement
 
On March 15, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right, or a Right, for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. The dividend was payable on March 23, 2007 to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company 1/1000 of a share of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, or the Preferred Shares, at a price of $100.00 per 1/1000 of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. The Company’s Certificate of Designation of Rights, Preferences and Privileges of Series B Preferred Stock designates 0.5 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent, dated April 11, 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2007, the FASB   issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, which is called the fair value option. This statement is effective for our financial statements beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the new standard.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value measures in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in GAAP. The Standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement based on an exchange transaction in which the entity sells an asset or transfers a liability (exit price). SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy from observable market data as the highest level to fair value based on an entity's own fair value assumptions as the lowest level. The Statement is to be effective for our financial statements issued in 2008; however, FASB encourages earlier application. We are currently evaluating the new standard.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes provided under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview
 
We deliver high performance and reliable Internet solutions through a suite of network optimization and delivery products and services. These solutions, combined with progressive and proactive technical support, enable companies to confidently migrate business-critical applications, including audio and video streaming and monetization services, to the Internet. Our suite of products and services support a broad range of Internet applications. We currently have more than 3,500 customers, serving financial services, healthcare, technology, retail, travel, and media/entertainment markets. Our customers are located in the United States and abroad and include several Fortune 1000 and mid-tier enterprises. Our product and service offerings are complemented by IP access solutions such as data center services, content delivery networks, or CDN, and managed security. We deliver services through our 45 service points across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Our Private Network Access Points, or P-NAPs, feature multiple direct high-speed connections to major Internet networks including AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Savvis, Global Crossing Telecommunications, and Level 3 Communications.
 
The key characteristic that differentiates us from our competition is our portfolio of patented and patent-pending route optimization solutions that address the inherent weaknesses of the Internet and overcome the inefficiencies of traditional IP connectivity options. Our intelligent routing technology can facilitate traffic over multiple carriers, as opposed to just one carrier's network, to ensure highly reliable performance over the Internet.
 
We believe our unique managed multi-network approach provides better performance, control and reliability compared to conventional Internet connectivity alternatives. Our service level agreements guarantee performance across the entire Internet in the United States, excluding local connections, whereas providers of conventional Internet connectivity typically only guarantee performance on their own network.
 
On October 12, 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire VitalStream Holdings, Inc., or VitalStream, in an all-stock transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The transaction closed on February 20, 2007. Our results of operations include the activities of VitalStream from February 21, 2007 through September 30, 2007.
 
We operate in four business segments: IP Services, Data Center Services, CDN Services, and Other. For additional information about these segments, see note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1.
 
The following is a brief description of each of our reportable business segments.
 
IP Services
 
Our patented and patent-pending network performance optimization technologies address the inherent weaknesses of the Internet, allowing enterprises to take advantage of the convenience, flexibility and reach of the Internet to connect to customers, suppliers and partners. Our solutions take into account the unique performance requirements of each business application to ensure performance as designed, without unnecessary cost. Prior to recommending appropriate network solutions for our customers’ applications, we consider key performance objectives including (1) performance and cost optimization, (2) application control and speed and (3) delivery and reach. Our charges for IP services are based on a fixed-fee, usage or a combination of both fixed fee and usage.
 
Our IP Services segment also includes our flow control platform, or FCP. The FCP provides network performance management and monitoring for companies with redundant Internet connections.  The FCP proactively reviews customer network(s) for the best performing route or the most cost-effective and routes according to our customers’ requirements. 

We offer FCP as either a one-time hardware purchase or as a monthly subscription service. Sales of FCP also generate annual maintenance fees and professional service fees for installation and ongoing network configuration. Since the FCP emulates our P-NAP service in many ways, this product affords us the opportunity to serve customers outside of our P-NAP market footprint.
 
Data Center Services
 
Our data center services provide a single source for network infrastructure, IP and security, all of which are designed to maximize solution performance while providing a more stable, dependable infrastructure, and are backed by guaranteed service levels and our team of dedicated support professionals. We offer a comprehensive solution at 36 service points, including eight locations managed by us and 28 locations managed by third parties, in 18 domestic and international metropolitan areas. Data center services also enable us to have a more flexible product offering, including bundling our high performance IP connectivity and managed services, such as content delivery, along with hosting customers' applications. We charge monthly fees for data center services based on the amount of square footage that the customer leases in our facilities. We also have relationships with various providers to extend our P-NAP model into markets with high demand.
 
19

 
CDN Services
 
Our CDN services enable our customers to quickly and securely stream and distribute video, audio, advertising, and software to audiences across the globe through strategically located data centers. Providing capacity-on-demand to handle large events and unanticipated traffic spikes, content is delivered with high quality regardless of audience size or geographic location. Our MediaConsole® content management tool provides our customers the benefit of a single, easy to navigate system featuring Media Asset Management, Digital Rights Management, or DRM, support and detailed reporting tools. With MediaConsole, our customers can use one application to manage and control access to their digital assets, deliver ad campaigns, view network conditions, and gain insight into habits of their viewing audience.

Our CDN and monetization services provide a complete turnkey solution for the monetization of online media. These multi-faceted “live” and “on-demand” ad insertion and ad placement solutions include a full campaign management suite, inventory prediction tools, audience research and metrics, and extensive reporting features to effectively track ad campaigns in real-time. Online advertising solutions enable our customers to offset the costs associated with the creation, transformation, licensing, and management of online content. Prior to our acquisition of VitalStream on February 20, 2007, we did not offer proprietary CDN services, but instead, we were a reseller of third party CDN services for which revenue and direct costs are included in our Other segment, discussed below.
 
Other
 
Our Other segment presents our non-segmented results of operations, including certain reseller and miscellaneous services such as third party CDN services, termination fee revenue, other hardware sales, and consulting services.
 
  Recent Developments 
               
On September 14, 2007, the Company entered into a $35.0 million credit agreement. We discuss this agreement in note 9 to the Financial Statements and the section captioned “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under “Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recent accounting pronouncements are summarized in note 14 of our Financial Statements.
 
Results of Operations
 
Revenue. Revenues are generated primarily from the sale of IP, data center, CDN, and related services. Our revenues typically consist of monthly recurring revenues from contracts with terms of one year or more. These contracts usually have fixed minimum commitments based on a certain level of usage with additional charges for any usage over a specified limit. We also provide premise-based route optimization products and other ancillary services, such as server management and installation services, virtual private networking services, managed security services, data back-up, remote storage, restoration services, and professional services.
 
Direct cost of network, sales and services. Direct cost of network, sales and services is comprised primarily of:
 
 
·
costs for connecting to and accessing Internet network service providers and competitive local exchange providers;
 
 
·
facility and occupancy costs for housing and operating our and our customers’ network equipment;

 
·
costs of license fees for operating systems software, advertising royalties to content rights owners and advertising distribution costs;

 
·
costs incurred for providing additional third party services to our customers; and

 
·
costs of FCP solutions sold.
 
20

 
To the extent a network access point is located a relative distance from the respective Internet network service providers, we may incur additional local loop charges on a recurring basis. Connectivity costs vary depending on customer demands and pricing variables, while network access point facility costs are generally fixed in nature. Direct cost of network and sales does not include compensation, depreciation or amortization other than the amortization of technology-based intangible assets.
 
Direct cost of amortization of acquired technology. Direct cost of amortization of acquired technology is for technologies acquired through business combinations that are an integral part of the services and products we sell. The cost of the acquired technology is amortized over original lives of three to eight years.
 
Direct cost of customer support. Direct cost of customer support consists primarily of compensation and other personnel costs for employees engaged in connecting customers to our network, installing customer equipment into network access point facilities, and servicing customers through our network operations centers. In addition, facilities costs associated with the network operations center are included in direct cost of customer support.
 
Product development costs. Product development costs consist principally of compensation and other personnel costs, consultant fees and prototype costs related to the design, development and testing of our proprietary technology, enhancement of our network management software, and development of internal systems. Costs for software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized upon establishing technological feasibility and ending when the software is available for general release to customers. Costs associated with internal use software are capitalized when the software enters the application development stage until implementation of the software has been completed. All other product development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Sales and marketing costs. Sales and marketing costs consist of compensation, commissions and other costs for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and field service support functions, as well as advertising, trade shows, direct response programs, new service point launch events, management of our website, and other promotional costs.
 
General and administrative costs. General and administrative costs consist primarily of compensation and other expenses for executive, finance, human resources, and administrative personnel, professional fees, and other general corporate costs.
 
Liquidity. Although we have been in existence since 1996, we have experienced significant operational restructurings in recent years, which include substantial changes in our senior management team, streamlining our cost structure, consolidating network access points, and terminating certain non-strategic real estate leases and license arrangements. We have a history of quarterly and annual period net losses through the year ended December 31, 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized net income of $1.8 million and a net loss of $10.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, our accumulated deficit was $867.0 million.

Segment information. We have four business segments: Internet protocol, or IP, services, data center services, content delivery network, or CDN, services, and other services. IP services include managed and premise-based IP and route optimization technologies. Data center services include hosting of customer applications directly on our network to eliminate issues associated with the quality of local connections. Data center services are usually bundled with our high performance IP connectivity services with an increasing number of IP customers also purchasing data center services. CDN services include products and services for storing, delivering and monetizing digital media to large global audiences over the Internet. Prior to our acquisition of VitalStream on February 20, 2007, we did not offer proprietary CDN services, but instead, we were a reseller of third party CDN services for which revenue and direct costs are included in our Other segment, discussed below.
 
Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. As of September 30, 2007, our customer base totaled more than 3,500 customers across 26 metropolitan markets.
 
IP services. Revenue for IP services increased $2.4 million, or 9%, to $30.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine-month periods, IP services revenue increased $6.7 million, or 8%, to $88.5 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $81.7 million as of September 30, 2006. The increase in IP revenue is driven by an increase in demand, partially offset a decline in pricing in certain locations, and an increase in sales of our premise-based FCP products, especially for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. We continue to experience increasing demand for our traditional IP services, with IP traffic for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increasing approximately 38% from the three months ended September 30, 2006. Ongoing industry-wide pricing declines over the last 12 months, however, offset a portion of our gains in customers and IP traffic. The increase in IP traffic has resulted from both existing and new customers requiring greater overall capacity due to growth in the usage of their applications, as well as in the nature of applications consuming greater amounts of bandwidth. In particular, we added a few high-traffic customers through competitive IP pricing and minimum commitments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Direct cost of IP network, sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $0.6 million, or 6%, to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine-month periods, the related direct costs increased $1.9 million, or 7%, to $31.5 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $29.5 million as of September 30, 2006. Connectivity costs vary based upon customer traffic and other demand-based pricing variables. Costs for IP services are especially subject to ongoing negotiations for pricing and minimum commitments. As our IP traffic continues to grow, we expect to have greater bargaining power for lower bandwidth rates and more opportunities to proactively manage network costs, such as utilization and traffic optimization among network service providers.
 
Data center services. Data center services are a significant source of revenue growth for our business, also contributing to growth in IP revenue through our ability to provide bundled services. Revenue for data center services increased $6.9 million, or 47%, to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $14.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine-month periods, data center services revenue increased $19.9 million, or 50%, to $59.9 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $40.1 million as of September 30, 2006.
 
Direct cost of network, sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization for data centers have substantial fixed cost components, primarily for rent, but also significant demand-based pricing variables, such as utilities, which are highest in the summer for cooling the facilities. The direct cost of data center services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $2.0 million, or 16%, to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine-month periods, the related direct costs increased $9.3 million, or 28%, to $42.9 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $33.6 million as of September 30, 2006.

The growth in data center services largely follows our expansion of data center space. The demand for data center services is outpacing industry-wide supply, which contributes to our improvement of data center direct costs as a percentage of data center revenue.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we continued executing our previously announced data center growth initiatives. We have scaled our data center business so that we can accommodate larger, global customers and ensure a platform for robust traffic growth. This recent expansion has resulted in the lower utilization rate as of September 30, 2007 compared to September 30, 2006.
 
CDN services. Revenue and direct costs of network, sales and services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for our CDN services segment were $6.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $13.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This activity represents the operations from our acquisition of VitalStream, which closed on February 20, 2007. As previously noted, we did not offer proprietary CDN services prior to our acquisition of VitalStream, but instead, we were a reseller of third party CDN services. We expect CDN to be an area of significant growth and are expanding related infrastructure, including in Europe and Asia, to serve the expected industry-wide demand, particularly in those regions.
 
Other. Revenue and direct cost of network, sales and services for our Other segment primarily includes reseller and miscellaneous services such as third party CDN services, termination fee revenue, referral fees for other hardware sales, consulting services, and certain sales credits. Revenue and related direct cost of network, sales and services continue to decrease substantially as the revenue streams from our acquisition of VitalStream replace the activity of the former third party CDN service provider.
 
Other operating expenses. Other than direct cost of network, sales and services, compensation and facilities-related costs have the most pervasive impact on operating expenses.  Compensation and benefits comprise the largest expenses after direct cost of network, sales and services. Cash-basis compensation and benefits increased $3.9 million to $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Cash-basis compensation and benefits increased $8.6 million to $39.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $30.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Stock-based compensation increased $0.6 million to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, stock-based compensation increased $1.9 million to $6.6 million from $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.   All of the increases in compensation and benefits are primarily due to increased headcount, largely attributable to the additional employees resulting from the VitalStream acquisition.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the additional VitalStream employees accounted for $2.2 million and $5.5 million of the increases in cash-basis compensation, respectively and $0.1 million and $1.0 million of the increases in stock-based compensation, respectively. Compensation also increased due to the addition of other employees throughout the Company, including at the senior management level. Total headcount increased to 431 at September 30, 2007 compared to 338 at September 30, 2006.

Overall, facility and related costs, including repairs and maintenance, communications and office supplies but excluding direct cost of network and sales, increased $0.5 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, facility and related costs increased $0.7 million to $4.9 million, as compared to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase is primarily due to post-acquisition costs partly offset by ongoing cost containment efforts.
 
Other operating costs are discussed within the financial statement captions below.
 
Direct cost of amortization of acquired technology. The increase in amortization expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and the increase of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are due to the amortization of the post-acquisition intangible technology assets of VitalStream.

Direct cost of customer support. Direct cost of customer support increased 53% to $4.5 million for three months ended September 30, 2007 from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, direct cost of customer support increased 42% to $12.2 million, as compared to $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $1.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, were primarily due to the addition of VitalStream employees and facilities noted above. VitalStream employees accounted for $0.6 million and $1.5 million of added cash-basis compensation and benefits and $0.2 million and $0.4 million of additional stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
 
Product development. Product development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased 57% to $1.7 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, product development costs increased 36% to $4.7 million, as compared to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, are primarily attributable to the addition of VitalStream employees and facilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 these additional employees account for $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of additional cash-basis compensation and benefits costs and $0.1 million and $0.2 million of additional stock-based compensation costs.
 
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing costs for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased 32% to $8.7 million from $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, sales and marketing costs increased 13% to $23.2 million, as compared to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, were primarily comprised of VitalStream employee and facilities costs. Cash-basis compensation, benefits and commissions related to VitalStream employees accounted for $1.1 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Also, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, marketing costs increased $0.4 million as a result of costs associated with a rebranding campaign to incorporate our proprietary CDN services.
 
General and administrative. General and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased 42% to $8.0 million from $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, general and administrative costs increased 52% to $24.2 million, as compared to $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $2.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, are primarily due to increases in both cash-basis and stock-based compensation, particularly for VitalStream employees. Cash-basis compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the additional VitalStream employees. We are accruing employee bonuses at a higher amount for 2007 than we did for 2006 due to the increase in employees. Stock-based compensation costs increased $0.5 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, due to annual grants of stock options and unvested restricted common stock to non-employee directors, the stock options assumed in the VitalStream acquisition and initial grants and awards to new members of senior management. In addition, professional services for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $1.3 million primarily due to consultation fees on our information technology systems, compliance activities for domestic and international tax and financial statement requirements, recruiting fees and contract labor to fill a number of open job requisitions, and legal fees, including those associated with new proxy disclosure requirements and ongoing litigation.
 
Restructuring and asset impairment. On March 31, 2007, we incurred a restructuring and impairment charge of $10.3 million. The charge was the result of a review of our business, particularly in light of our acquisition of VitalStream and our plan to finalize the overall integration and implementation plan before the end of the first quarter. The charge to expense included $7.8 million for leased facilities, representing both the costs less anticipated sublease recoveries that will continue to be incurred without economic benefit to us and costs to terminate leases before the end of their term. The charge also included severance payments of $1.2 million for the termination of certain employees and $1.3 million for impairment of assets. Related expenditures are estimated to be $10.7 million continuing through December 2016, the last date of the longest lease term. The impairment charge of $1.3 million is related to the leases referenced above and less than $0.1 million for other assets.

We recorded a $1.1 million impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2007 for the sales order-through-billing system, which was a result of an evaluation of the existing infrastructure relative to our new financial accounting system and the acquisition of VitalStream.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, including other intangible assets, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased 45% to $5.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, depreciation and amortization, including other intangible assets, increased 43% to $16.7 million, as compared to $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 of $1.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, primarily relate to post-acquisition depreciation and amortization of VitalStream property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, excluding amortization of acquired technology. The VitalStream property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets account for $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Other increases in depreciation and amortization are related to the recent expansion of P-NAPs and on-going expansion of data center facilities. The restructuring and asset impairment described above initially reduced depreciation and amortization by approximately $0.1 million per quarter, decreasing to $0 in 2009.
 
Write-off of investment. We incurred a charge of $1.2 million representing the carrying value of our investment in series D preferred stock of Aventail Corporation, or Aventail. We made an initial cash investment of $6.0 million in Aventail series D preferred stock pursuant to an investment agreement in February 2000. In connection with a subsequent round of financing by Aventail, we recognized an initial loss on our investment of $4.8 million in 2001. On June 12, 2007, SonicWall, Inc. announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire Aventail for approximately $25.0 million in cash. The transaction closed on July 11, 2007, and all shares of series D preferred stock were cancelled and the holders of series D preferred stock did not receive any consideration for such shares.    

Income taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of negative 3%.
 
We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our unrealized deferred tax assets of approximately $191.3 million, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards. As a result of the VitalStream acquisition, however, $0.7 million in deferred tax liabilities from goodwill amortization for tax purposes exists as of September 30, 2007. We may recognize deferred tax assets in future periods when they are estimated to be realizable, such as establishing expected continuing profitability of the Company or certain of our foreign subsidiaries. To the extent we may owe income taxes in future periods, we intend to use our net operating loss carryforwards to the extent available to offset taxable income and reduce cash outflows for income taxes.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flow for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
 
Net cash from operating activities.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and was the result of adjustments for non-cash items totaling $30.5 million, partially offset by our net loss of $10.5 million, and a net use of cash for changes in working capital items of $4.3 million. The non-cash adjustment of $19.7 million for depreciation and amortization includes the amortizable intangible assets acquired through the acquisition of VitalStream on February 20, 2007 and the expansion of our P-NAP and data center facilities. The change in working capital includes an increase in accounts receivable of $10.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable results in quarterly days sales outstanding at September 30, 2007 increasing to 53 days from 42 days as of September 30, 2006. This increase is largely due to increased billings in late August and September and the timing of collections with our quarter ending on a weekend. We expect our days sales outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 to be more consistent with prior quarters. The change in working capital also includes a net increase in accrued restructuring liability of $6.0 million due to the activities discussed below under the caption “Asset Impairment and Restructuring Costs.”   

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and was comprised of net income of $1.4 million adjusted for non-cash items of $18.6 million and a net source of cash for changes in working capital items of $0.6 million. The principal non-cash items include depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and non-cash changes in deferred rent. The net cash provided by working capital items included $2.1 million resulting from a net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006 and an increase of $0.5 million in deferred revenue. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in our restructuring liability as we continue to make cash payments on charges previously accrued. Additional uses of cash include a $0.7 million increase in prepaid expenses, deposits and other assets for the same period and a $0.4 million increase in accounts receivable. The annual payment of a large prepaid property tax expense contributed to most of the $0.7 million increase in prepaid expenses, deposits and other assets.
 
Net cash from investing activities.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $32.5 million, primarily due to capital expenditures of $22.5 million and net purchases of short-term investments in marketable securities of $9.5 million. Our capital expenditures were principally for the expansion of our data center facilities, CDN infrastructure and upgrading our P-NAP facilities. We expect total capital expenditures to be $35.0 - $40.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, funded from both cash from operations and borrowings from the new credit agreement we entered into on September 14, 2007. We discuss the credit agreement in greater detain in the section below captioned “Liquidity.”
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $6.0 million and primarily consisted of $9.9 million of capital expenditures offset by $3.7 million in net maturities of marketable securities. The purchases of property and equipment primarily related to the continued expansion of our data centers and upgrades of our P-NAP facilities.

Net cash from financing activities.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $14.6 million. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from note payable of $19.7 million, net of discount, and proceeds from stock compensation plan activity of $7.7 million, partially offset by principal payments on notes payable and capital leases of $12.7 million. The proceeds from note payable were a result of entering into a new credit agreement on September 14, 2007. We discuss the credit agreement in greater detain in the section below captioned “Liquidity.”

Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily consisted of $6.0 million of proceeds from stock compensation plan activity. This source of cash was offset by continued principal payments on our note payable and capital lease obligations of $3.7 million.

26

 
Liquidity.
 
We recorded a net loss of $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and net income of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2007, our accumulated deficit was $867.0 million. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes $13.0 million in charges for restructuring, asset impairment, write-off of an investment and acquired in-process research and development. We cannot guarantee that we will avoid incurring similar charges in the future that will cause us to record net losses, nor can we guarantee that we will be profitable in the future given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate. We may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly basis, and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise additional funds.
 
Although we have experienced positive operating cash flow recently, including for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we have a history of negative operating cash flow and have primarily depended upon equity and debt financings, as well as borrowings under our credit facilities, to meet our cash requirements for most quarters since we began our operations. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to generate positive cash flow.  We expect, however, to meet our cash requirements in 2007 and 2008 through a combination of net cash provided by operating activities, existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments in marketable securities, and borrowings under our credit agreement. Our capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including the continued market acceptance of our services and products, the ability to expand and retain our customer base and other factors. If our cash requirements vary materially from those currently planned, if our cost reduction initiatives have unanticipated adverse effects on our business or if we fail to generate sufficient cash flow from the sales of our services and products, we may require greater or additional financing sooner than anticipated. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially favorable terms, or at all, and provisions in our existing credit facility limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. We believe we have sufficient cash and financing opportunities to operate our business for the foreseeable future.

Short-term investments.   Short term investments consist primarily of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid securities with original maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year.  Short-term investments also include auction rate securities.  Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to short term interest rates with maturities on the face of the securities in excess of 90 days.  Auction rate securities have interest rate resets through a modified Dutch auction, at predetermined short term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35 days.  They generally trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at the option of the issuer.  Interest paid during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined through the auction process.  Although these securities are issued and rated as long term bonds, they are priced and traded as short- term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset.  All short-term investments are available for sale and are reported at amortized cost.
 
Credit agreement.   On September 14, 2007, we entered into a $35.0 million credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders who may become a party to the Credit Agreement from time to time.  VitalStream Holdings, Inc., VitalStream, Inc., PlayStream, Inc., and VitalStream Advertising Services, Inc., four of the Company’s subsidiaries, are guarantors of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement replaced the prior credit facility, a $5.0 million revolving credit facility and a $17.5 million term loan, which was evidenced by a Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank that was last amended on December 27, 2005.  We paid off and terminated this prior credit facility concurrently with the execution of the Credit Agreement.

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured, pursuant to a pledge and security agreement and an intellectual property security agreement by a security interest granted in substantially all of the assets of the Company including the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement provides for a four-year revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Credit Facility, in the aggregate amount of up to $5.0 million which includes a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit.  With the prior approval of the administrative agent, we may increase the total commitments by up to $15.0 million for a total commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility of $20.0 million.  The Revolving Credit Facility is available to finance working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. As September 30, 2007, no amounts were outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.

           The Credit Agreement also provides for a four-year term loan, or the Term Loan, in the amount of $30.0 million.  We borrowed $20.0 million concurrently with the closing and used a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan to pay off the Company’s prior credit facility.  We intend to use the remaining proceeds to fund capital expenditures related to the expansion of our data center facilities.

The interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan is a tiered LIBOR-based rate that depends on the Company’s 12-month trailing EBITDA. As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate was 7.075%.

We will only pay interest on the Term Loan during the first 12 months of its four-year term.  Commencing on the last day of the first calendar quarter after the first anniversary of the closing, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan will amortize on a straight-line schedule with the payment of 1/16 of the original principal amount of the Term Loan due quarterly.  We will pay all unpaid amounts at maturity, which is September 14, 2011.
 
27

 
The Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, negative and affirmative covenants, including certain financial covenants relating to net funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio, as well as customary events of default and certain default provisions that could result in acceleration of the Credit Agreement.  As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The net proceeds received from the Term Loan were reduced by $0.3 million for fees paid to Bank of America and its agents. We treated these fees as a debt discount and will amortize the fees to interest expense using the interest method over the term of the loan. We recorded less than $0.1 million of related amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the balance on the Term Loan, net of the discount, was $19.7 million. We incurred other costs of less than $0.1 million in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, which were recorded as debt issue costs and will amortize over the term of the Credit Agreement.

As a result of the transactions discussed above, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of less than $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The loss on extinguishment of debt is included in Other, net in the Non-operating (income) expense section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Also during the three months ended September 30, 2007, we paid off the term loans and line of credit issued pursuant to the loan and security agreement assumed in the VitalStream acquisition.
 
Capital leases. Our future minimum lease payments on remaining capital lease obligations at September 30, 2007 totaled $1.6 million.
 
 Commitments and other obligations. We have commitments and other obligations that are contractual in nature and will represent a use of cash in the future unless the terms of those agreements are modified. Network commitments primarily represent purchase commitments made to our largest bandwidth vendors and contractual payments to license data center space used for resale to customers. Our ability to improve cash used in operations in the future would be negatively impacted if we do not grow our business at a rate that will allow us to offset the service commitments with corresponding revenue growth.
 
 ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash and short-term deposits at our financial institutions. Due to the short-term nature of our deposits, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to market risk changes in interest rates.
 
Short-term investments in marketable securities. Short term investments consist primarily of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid securities with original maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year.  Short-term investments also include auction rate securities. Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds tied to short term interest rates with maturities on the face of the securities in excess of 90 days.  Auction rate securities have interest rate resets through a modified Dutch auction, at predetermined short-term intervals, usually every 7, 28 or 35 days.  Auction rate securities generally trade at par and are callable at par on any interest payment date at the option of the issuer.  Interest paid during a given period is based upon the interest rate determined through the auction process.  Although these securities are issued and rated as long term bonds, they are priced and traded as short term instruments because of the liquidity provided through the interest rate reset.

All short-term investments are available for sale and are reported at amortized cost. Due to the short-term nature of our investments in marketable securities, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to market risk changes in interest rates.   We estimate that a change in the effective yield of 100 basis points would change our interest income by less than $0.2 million per year.  Uncertainties in the credit markets may affect the liquidity of our holdings in auction rate securities, although we have not experienced any unsuccessful auctions to date. We continue to receive interest every 28-35 days. While our investments are of high credit quality, we are uncertain as to whether or when the liquidity issues relating to these investments will worsen or improve. We do not believe, however, that adjusting the fair value of our portfolio of auction rate securities is necessary at this time. As of September 30, 2007, we have a total of $7.1 million invested in auction rate securities.
 
Credit facilities. As of September 30, 2007, we had $5.0 million available and no balance outstanding under our revolving credit facility with a bank, and $20.0 million outstanding under a term loan. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility and term loan is a tiered LIBOR-based rate that depends on the Company’s 12-month trailing EBITDA. As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate was 7.075%. We estimate that a change in the interest rate of 100 basis points would change our interest expense and payment by less than $0.2 million per year.
 
Capital leases. As of September 30, 2007, we had capital lease obligations, including imputed interest, of $1.6 million, reflecting the present value of future minimum lease payments. We believe the interest rates used in calculating the present values of these lease payments are a reasonable approximation of fair value and their associated market risk is minimal.

Foreign currency risk. Substantially all of our revenue is currently in United States dollars and from customers primarily in the United States. We do not believe, therefore, that we currently have any significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk.
 
Inflation. The effect of inflation and changing prices on net sales and revenues and income from continuing operations has not been material to us.
  
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007. 
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
No changes occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 PART II OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On October 10, 2007 a purported stockholder of the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse Group, and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the lead underwriters of our initial public offering in September, 1999, and our secondary offering of common stock in April, 2000, alleging violations of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 78p(b).  The complaint seeks to recover from the lead underwriters any “short-swing profits” obtained by them in violation of Section 16(b).  We were named as a nominal defendant in the action, but have no liability for the asserted claims.   We believe that the same plaintiff has sued the lead underwriters in at least 55 other initial public offerings that took place around the same time as ours for alleged violations of Section 16(b).   The plaintiff similarly named the issuer as a nominal defendant in each such suit.  We are considering what, if any, action to take in response to this litigation.  We do not anticipate that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will have a material adverse impact on our financial position.

From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
There have been no material changes from the Risk Factors we previously disclosed in our Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2007.
