NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (SUCCESSOR) /

AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (PREDECESSOR)

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Successor include the accounts of Teleglobe International Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “TIH”). The Company’s ultimate parent is Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Predecessor consists of the Telecommunications Group of Teleglobe Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Old Teleglobe”) that consists solely of the voice, data, internet and wireless roaming service businesses acquired by the Successor but also includes the portion of such businesses not acquired that were carried out by Old Teleglobe. The Successor acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Old Teleglobe pursuant to a Purchase Agreement entered into on September 18, 2002 between TLGB Acquisition LLC (“TLGB”), the parent company and an affiliate of Cerberus, and Old Teleglobe as more fully described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Successor) and Combined Financial Statements (Predecessor) included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A (Amendment number 5) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 30, 2004 (the “Registration Statement”).

 

The financial statements of the Successor are not comparable to the Predecessor financial statements due to the new basis of accounting adopted on the acquisition of the businesses, certain assets and liabilities of Old Teleglobe not being acquired by the Successor and restructuring activities that occurred prior to the acquisition. For a more detailed description of the acquisition refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Successor) and Combined Financial Statements (Predecessor) included in the Registration Statement.

 

The June 30, 2004 and 2003 financial statements have been prepared by management of TIH and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except for the reorganization items, purchase price allocations and prior period adjustments as discussed below) necessary to present fairly the consolidated and combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Successor for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the month ended June 30, 2003 and the Predecessor for the two and five months ended May 30, 2003, have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted from the consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto presented herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission. The consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Successor and the Combined Financial Statements of the Predecessor and notes thereto included in the Registration Statement, except for the policies described herewith. The results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year.

 

Adjustments that related to prior period quarters have been recorded during the second quarter resulting in a net charge of approximately $1.0 million to net loss before income taxes and a net credit of approximately $ 0.4 million to net loss. In addition, the purchase price allocation on the acquisition of the Teleglobe business as described in note 2 has been revised for foreign exchange adjustments resulting in a decrease in accounts payable and reduction in long lived assets of $3.8 million. These adjustments affect revenues, network expenses, foreign exchange and deferred income taxes. These adjustments were not considered material with respect to net income for 2003, estimated loss for full fiscal year 2004, to the trend of earnings or the balance sheet at the respective dates.

 

The accounting policies used in preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Successor in its Registration Statement, except for the following which have been adopted further to the merger with ITXC Corp. (“ITXC”):

Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities consist of fixed income investments which can be readily purchased or sold using established markets. In accordance with SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. Such investments are classified as available-for-sale. Fair value is based on quoted market prices. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion, as well as interest, are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than temporary are included in investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income are comprised of unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, whereby goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

 

Intangible Assets

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company acquired intangible assets including technology and its related software, tradenames, patents and origination/termination contracts and related relationships. The technology, tradenames and patents are being amortized over their useful life of 7 years. The software related to the technology is being amortized over its useful life of four years and the origination/termination contracts and related relationships are being amortized over 5 years.

 

Segments

 

The operations of the Company are managed on an integrated basis with no separate operating results for its services or geographic locations. Accordingly, information on segments is not provided.

 

2. Acquisitions

 

(a) On May 31, 2004, the Company completed its merger with ITXC. ITXC is a provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) wholesale services. The merger is intended to bring the Company greater size and breadth of product offerings and opportunities for synergies in the combination of the businesses. Upon consummation of the merger, all the outstanding shares of ITXC’s common shares were converted into 10,877,156 common shares of the Company at a fair value of $14.46 per share for a total fair value of $157.3 million, determined as of the date of announcement of the acquisition, November 4, 2003. All outstanding options and warrants of ITXC were converted into 1,595,323 stock options and 219,942 warrants of the Company for a total fair value of $22.2 million. The warrants are exercisable anytime prior to April 30, 2008 at an exercise price of $3.41 per share. The range of exercise price for the options is $0.02 to $430 per share. At May 31, 2004, 1,152,067 options had vested and 443,256 options were unvested. The intrinsic value applicable to the unvested stock options, valued at $77,000, will be expensed over the future vesting period of the stock options. The fair value of options and warrants was estimated using the Black Scholes valuation methodology. See Note 8 for more information regarding the weighted average assumptions used in the valuation.

The merger has been accounted for using the purchase method and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values determined using management’s best estimates and independent valuations as at the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary pending the finalization of the valuation of receivables, certain liabilities and income taxes which will be completed by year-end. The final allocation of the purchase price may result in a different allocation and goodwill amount. The excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired, in the amount of $97.9 million has been accounted for as goodwill.

 

The preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired is as follows:

As at May 31, 2004, ITXC has a federal and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforward of approximately $210 million. The federal NOL carryforwards expire from 2012 to 2023. The state NOL carryforwards expire from 2004 to 2010. The Company has not performed a detailed analysis to determine whether an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code occurred in respect to 1) ITXC’s initial public offering on October 1, 1999; 2) ITXC’s acquisition of eFusion, Inc. on October 12, 2000 and 3) ITXC’s merger with Teleglobe on May 31, 2004, but believes that it is likely that such a change occurred. The effect of an ownership change would be the imposition of an annual limitation on the use of NOL carryforwards attributable to periods before the change. The Company has not yet determined the amount of the potential limitation.

 

ITXC’s net deferred tax assets related to temporary differences and loss carry forwards as at May 31, 2004 total approximately $98 million and have been fully reduced by a valuation allowance as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be materialized.

 

If and when the tax benefits for those items are recognized in the financial statements after the acquisition date, the amounts recognized shall be applied (a) first to reduce to zero any goodwill related to the acquisition, (b) second to reduce to zero other noncurrent intangible assets related to the acquisition, and (c) third to reduce income tax expense.

The goodwill recognized is not tax deductible for corporate income tax purposes.

 

The results of operations of ITXC are included in the consolidated statement of operations of TIH as of June 1, 2004.

 

(b) On May 30, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of companies formed by Old Teleglobe prior to closing to hold certain core assets and liabilities of the Predecessor for a total cash consideration of $125 million plus acquisition costs of $9.6 million (the “Acquisition”).

 

The Company accounted for the Acquisition as a purchase business combination and accordingly, the cost was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price has been allocated as a pro-rata reduction of the property and equipment, customer relationships and certain other non-current assets other than prepaid pension asset and deferred income taxes.

 

The allocation of the purchase price was finalized during the second quarter of 2004. The previous allocation was revised based on the availability of more current information concerning certain assumed liabilities. As a result, current liabilities decreased by $10.8 million, other current assets decreased by $3.7 million, property and equipment decreased by $6.3 million, intangible assets decreased by $0.6 million and other assets decreased by $0.2 million. The adjustments to depreciation and amortization expenses are being applied prospectively.

The tradenames, patents, technology and internally developed software relating to the technology were acquired as a result of the merger with ITXC. The tradenames, patents and technology are being amortized over their useful lives of 7 years and the internally developed software relating to the technology is being amortized over its useful life of 4 years. Intangible assets also include $1.5 million of origination and termination contracts and related relationships acquired as a result of the merger with ITXC. These contracts and relationships are being amortized over 5 years. The weighted average amortization period for acquired Intangibles equals approximately 6.6 years.

 

Amortization expense for intangible assets totaled approximately $1.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and for the month ended June 30, 2003, respectively and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and nil for the two months ended May 30, 2003 and five months ended May 30, 2003. Aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets is estimated to be:

 

Six months ending December 31, 2004

   $ 4.0 million

Year ending December 31, 2005

   $ 6.0 million

Year ending December 31, 2006

   $ 6.0 million

Year ending December 31, 2007

   $ 6.0 million

Year ending December 31, 2008

   $ 4.6 million

 

As a result of the merger with ITXC, the Company recorded the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired as goodwill. See Note 2 for further information regarding the recorded amount of $97.9 million for goodwill.

 

6. Senior Notes and Preferred Shares

 

In connection with the ITXC merger on May 31, 2004, the Company retired its outstanding $95 million of stated value of preferred shares and paid the accrued dividends on those shares. Concurrent with the retirement, senior notes of $100 million were issued to an affiliate of the Company’s ultimate parent. The senior notes have a maturity period of 4 years and the annual interest rate is 10%, payable quarterly. The holder of the notes is entitled to receive a fee equal to 1% of the outstanding balance at the end of the first year and 2% of the outstanding balance at the end of the second year. The estimated $3 million aggregate fee will be expensed over four years using the effective interest rate method. The Company is required to make principal payments of $25 million no later than the second anniversary, $25 million no later than the third anniversary and $50 million on May 31, 2008.

 

The Company may, at its option, prepay all or any portion of the senior notes, in a minimum principal amount of $5 million or integral multiples of $5 million in excess thereof, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the face amount of the notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of such prepayment.

 

If certain indebtedness or capital stock is issued, the Company shall be required to commence an Issuance Offer potentially resulting in the purchase of the aggregate principal amount of notes equaling the net available proceeds of such issuances. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all or any portion of the outstanding senior notes, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon the occurrence of a sale of certain assets, the Company is also required to offer to repurchase all or any portion of the outstanding senior notes, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The note holders have full discretion in accepting or rejecting the offer in all circumstances described.

 

Certain subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the payment of the senior notes.

8. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

On April 26, 2004, the Company adopted a share option plan for 2,334,125 common shares for key employees and directors. The plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 27, 2004, by unanimous written consent, prior to the consummation of the ITXC merger. On June 9, 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the granting of 1,889,000 stock options under this plan, vesting at a rate of one third per year from date of grant, subject to earlier vesting in certain circumstances. 919,000 of these stock options were issued immediately after the meeting. The balance of the options were authorized but have not yet been issued. The options terminate no later than seven years after the grant date. The exercise price for issued options is equal to $10.49 per share being the NASDAQ closing price on June 9, 2004.

 

As a result of the merger with ITXC on May 31, 2004, the Company issued 1,595,323 stock options to ITXC employees, pursuant to the conversion equity incentive plan approved by shareholders on May 27, 2004 by written unanimous consent. The range of exercise price for the options is $0.02 to $430 per share.

9. Common Stock and Earnings per Share- Successor

 

On January 14, 2004, the Board of Directors approved a stock split, by way of a bonus issue of shares, whereby the holders of common shares received approximately 23.4 new common shares for each common share currently held. The stock split resulted in an increase in issued and outstanding common shares from 1.2 million to 28.1 million. Share and per-share data (except par value) for all periods have been restated to reflect this stock split.

 

On May 31, 2004, the merger with ITXC was consummated. Upon consummation of the merger, all the outstanding shares of ITXC’s common shares were converted into 10,877,156 common shares of the Company at a fair value of $14.46 per share determined as of the date of announcement of the acquisition. In addition, all outstanding warrants of ITXC were converted into 219,942 warrants of the Company for a total fair value of $2.8 million. The warrants are exercisable anytime prior to April 30, 2008 at an exercise price of $3.41 per share. All outstanding options of ITXC were converted into 1,595,323 stock options of the Company for a total fair value of $19.5 million. The range of exercise price for the options is $0.02 to $430 per share.

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share is determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the number of shares is increased assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. The diluted earnings per share amount equals basic earnings per share because the Company had a net loss and the impact of the assumed exercise of the stock options and warrants is not dilutive.

 

Basic Earnings per share calculation is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

13. Interest Expense

 

Interest expense includes an amount of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, representing the accretion of certain liabilities recognized at the date of Acquisition, to the amounts currently payable.

 

The three and six months ended June 30, 2004 includes $1 million of interest expense relating to the senior notes issued in the second quarter of 2004. See note 14.

 

14. Related Party

 

Successor

 

On May 31, 2003, the Successor entered into a note payable with TLGB, an affiliate of the Company’s ultimate parent, for $25 million. This loan was repaid in full in June 2003, plus interest expense of approximately $292,000. The Successor also repaid $3.9 million in June 2003 to Cerberus for direct costs incurred on behalf of the Successor related to the Acquisition on May 30, 2003.

 

On May 30, 2003, the Successor issued Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock to the parent company for cash proceeds of $95 million. The preferred shares pay dividends at a rate of 10%. On May 31, 2004, the Company redeemed the preferred shares including accrued dividends and issued senior notes totaling $100 million to an affiliate of the Company’s ultimate parent.

 

Predecessor

 

Bell Canada (a subsidiary of BCE Inc.) and its affiliated and significantly influenced companies Northwestel Inc., Telebec Ltd, Northern Telephone Limited, Aliant Inc. and Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. provided, directly or through subsidiaries, telecommunication services in various provinces of Canada. A significant portion of the telecommunications traffic originating in Canada that was routed over the Predecessor’s network was generated by such companies or their respective affiliates and represented a significant portion of revenue. In addition, a significant portion of the telecommunications traffic originating overseas that was routed over the Predecessor’s network was terminated in Canada by such companies or their respective affiliates.

15. Contingencies

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company may become involved in various claims and litigation.

 

In connection with the post-merger integration of the Company with ITXC, the Company identified and investigated potential instances of noncompliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) relating to ITXC operations in certain African countries. The investigation was conducted by an outside law firm engaged by the Company’s Audit Committee. The Company voluntarily notified the SEC and the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) of the matter and has been cooperating fully with these agencies. As a result of the investigation, certain employees are no longer employed by the Company. The investigation has been completed and based on the findings of the independent law firm, no additional resignations or terminations are expected. The Company intends to resolve any potential claims that the SEC or DOJ may have with respect to these matters as promptly as practicable, but there can be no assurance that a satisfactory resolution of any such claims would be reached. At this time the Company cannot predict the extent to which the SEC, the DOJ or any other party will pursue administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings, the imposition of fines or penalties or other remedies or sanctions. Although the Company has not identified and does not believe it is likely that any material adjustments to its financial statements is or will be required in connection with this matter, it is possible that a monetary penalty, if any, may be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period in which it is imposed.

 

On May 31, 2004, TIH consummated its merger with ITXC. ITXC has been subject to various legal proceedings relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The following are legal proceedings pending against ITXC.

On April 14, 2004, Acceris Communications Technologies, Inc. commenced a patent infringement suit in the United States District Court of the District of New Jersey, against ITXC Corp., alleging that ITXC’s VoIP services and systems infringe Acceris’ U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System.” A responsive pleading has been filed and discovery commenced. On May 7, 2004, ITXC filed a lawsuit against Acceris for infringement of a number of ITXC’s VoIP patents. The suit alleged infringement of five of ITXC’s United States Patents, numbers 5,889,774, 6,026,087, 6,404,864, 6,628,760 and 6,661,878, directed generally to the transmission of telephone calls over the Internet and the completion of telephone calls by switching them off the Internet and onto a public switched telephone network(PSTN). On July 6, 2004, the Court rejected Acceris’ initial motion to dismiss ITXC’s case based upon alleged failure to conduct an adequate precomplaint investigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations of infringement in that case and believes it has substantial defenses to them. However, an adverse result in this litigation could either result in injunctive relief precluding all or a portion of ITXC’s VoIP activity or materially impact the Company’s revenue and profitability. Litigation of such matters may require significant management and financial resources of the Company and adverse outcomes in such lawsuits could materially adversely affect our financial condition or operating results.

 

A complaint was filed on February 24, 2004 as a class action suit in New Jersey Superior Court naming ITXC Corp. and directors Tom Evslin, Edward Jordan, Frank Gill and Fred Wilson as defendants, which has now been settled and which settlement has now been approved by the Court in its October 14, 2004 Final Order and Judgement (the “Final Order and Judgement”). Two claims had been asserted against the individual defendants, one for breach of fiduciary duty and the other for breach of the duty of candor. Although ITXC was identified as a defendant, no cause of action was asserted against ITXC . The action sought to enjoin the stockholders’ meeting to approve ITXC’s proposed merger with Teleglobe until certain alleged deficiencies in the proxy statement had been cured and sought to permanently enjoin the consummation of the merger. No motion for a preliminary injunction was ever filed and the stockholders’ meeting was held and the merger completed. On June 22, 2004, the defendants entered into a stipulation of settlement with plaintiff’s counsel. On July 26, 2004, the Court ordered that notice of the settlement be provided to all putative class members who were record holders as of March 31, 2004, and that a final settlement hearing be held on October 14, 2004, which has now been conducted. At that hearing the Court and the Final Order and Judgement, gave final approval of the settlement. Under the settlement stipulation, the defendants expressly deny and do not admit liability or any improper conduct of any kind. Consistent with the parties’ agreement, the Court has granted plaintiffs’ counsel’s request for $145,000 in attorneys’ fees for the plaintiff’s counsel. No other payment is required from ITXC, the Company or any of the individual defendants except the costs of printing and mailing the notice to shareholders. Management has accrued its best estimate in its accrued liabilities.

 

On May 23, 2000, Connectel, LLC, had filed suit against ITXC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Connectel alleged in its complaint that ITXC infringed on the claims of a patent owned by Connectel by, acting alone or with others, assembling, offering to sell, selling or using communications networks or switching systems within the United States and for export worldwide without license from Connectel. Connectel also sought unspecified damages. On June 9, 2004, the Court entered an Order dismissing Connectel’s complaint in its entirety with prejudice. No compensation was paid. Thereafter, only ITXC’s counterclaim seeking a declaration that Connectel’s patent was invalid, as well as certain other relief, remained in the lawsuit. On June 18, 2004, the Court entered an Order dismissing the remainder of the case pursuant to a settlement reached between the parties. The Order is now final.

ITXC and certain of its officers/directors were named as defendants in several purported shareholder class action lawsuits commenced in 2001. The lawsuits allege, among other things, that, in connection with ITXC’s public offerings of securities, its Prospectus did not disclose certain alleged practices involving its underwriters and their customers. These actions seek compensatory and other damages, and costs and expenses associated with the litigation. No discovery has taken place with respect to ITXC and the other issuer defendants. ITXC is one of hundreds of companies named in substantially identical lawsuits. Management believes that ITXC and its officers/directors did not engage in any improper or illegal conduct. All of these cases have been consolidated for pretrial purposes before Judge Scheindlin in the Southern District of New York, who refused to dismiss the cases in an opinion issued in February 2003. All of the individual defendants who had been named as defendants in the Company’s case have now been dismissed from the proceeding without prejudice, pursuant to a stipulation with the plaintiffs. Neither the individual defendants nor the Company nor its insurers paid any consideration for these dismissals. The issuer defendants, their insurance carriers and the plaintiffs have negotiated a settlement pursuant to which the insurance carriers would fund any monetary consideration, and it is anticipated that this proposed settlement will be submitted to the Court for approval in the near future. If approved by the court, under the terms of the proposed settlement, ITXC would be dismissed from the litigation with prejudice and should neither have future liability to plaintiffs nor incur any significant expenses in connection with the litigation, except for a limited obligation to cooperate in discovery in the plaintiffs’ continuing cases against the underwriters.

 

Interactive Marketing Technologies, Inc., (“IMT”) is a telecommunications service bureau headquartered in Erlanger, Kentucky, to which ITXC had discontinued service on February 20, 2003, and from which ITXC had demanded payment of a multimillion dollar past due balance, after the parties were unsuccessful in efforts to restructure IMT’s obligations to ITXC. IMT then sued ITXC seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky alleging breach of contract, bad faith, tortious[sic] interference with contract and negligent misrepresentation, among other claims. ITXC thereafter commenced an arbitration action against IMT seeking to recover the amounts owed by IMT, and on July 8, 2003, the United States District Court dismissed IMT’s case in favor of the arbitration proceeding. IMT asserted its claims in the arbitration, and has now filed for bankruptcy protection. ITXC believes IMT’s claims are without merit. ITXC’s claims against IMT will be pursued, if at all, in the bankruptcy proceeding, which has been converted into a Chapter 7 proceeding.

 

We are not party to any other legal proceeding, the adverse outcome of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or future prospects.

 

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

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, the related Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on April 30, 2004 and the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

The Company has included in this Quarterly Report certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning TIH’s business, operations and financial condition. “Forward-looking statements” consist of all non-historical information, and the analysis of historical information, including any references in this Quarterly Report to future revenue growth, future expense growth, future credit exposure, future profitability, anticipated cash resources, anticipated capital expenditures,

capital requirements, and the Company’s plans for future periods. In addition, the words “could”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “objective”, “plan”, “may affect”, “may depend”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects” and similar words and phrases are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

 

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the Company’s forward-looking statements due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, (i) uncertainties inherent in the merger with ITXC, including but not limited to, the integration effort and retention of key employees, customers and suppliers through the merger process; the inability to capture anticipated synergies; the existence of undisclosed or unanticipated contingent liabilities; and the risk that the Company may not be able to effectively execute its business plan and (ii) other risks, including the volatile and competitive environment for telecommunications; changes in domestic and foreign economic, market and regulatory conditions; the inherent uncertainty of financial estimates and projections; uncertainty inherent in litigation; unanticipated technological difficulties; the risk that the Company may not be able to access sufficient capital; the creditworthiness of and relationship with our customers; the Company’s debt level and the inherent lack of flexibility resulting therefrom; future transactions; risks inherent in being subject to significant regulation; and other considerations described as “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement. All such forward-looking statements are current only as of the date on which such statements were made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Presentation

 

The historical financial information and the unaudited financial statements to which the following discussion relates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the month of June 2003, which we refer to as the “Successor Financial Statements,” are the consolidated financial statements of Teleglobe International Holdings Ltd for such period. The Successor Financial Statements reflect the assets, liabilities and businesses acquired from Old Teleglobe on May 30, 2003, as discussed in detail in the Registration Statement.

 

The financial information for the two months ended May 30, 2003 and for the five months ended May 30, 2003, which we refer to as the “Predecessor Financial Statements,” are derived from the books and records of Old Teleglobe, from which we purchased certain assets, liabilities and businesses. The “Predecessor” represents the Telecommunications Group of Old Teleglobe that consisted solely of the voice, data, Internet and wireless roaming services businesses and includes the portions of such businesses not acquired.

 

The results of operations contained in the unaudited financial statements for the two months ended May 30, 2003 and for the five months ended May 30, 2003 for the Predecessor and the unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 for the Successor are results of operations for such interim periods and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year or for any other period.

Revenue Drivers

 

Our revenues are impacted by the following factors:

 

  with respect to our voice transport revenues, complete dependence upon voice traffic volume;

 

  with respect to our data transport revenues in the second quarter of 2004, approximately 14% of data transport revenue is dependent on data traffic volume with the remainder of such revenues subject to fixed pricing arrangements;

 

  the rate and terms of contractual renewals;

 

  our ability to satisfy or exceed service level agreements in customer contracts;

 

  the rate of usage of our global roaming, ITFS (international toll free services) and inbound collect services;

 

  pricing pressures resulting from competitive market conditions; and

 

  the commercial provisions of the Bell (BCE) Agreement.

 

Primary Expense Drivers

 

Our primary expenses are comprised of telecommunication and network expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation/amortization expenses.

 

Telecommunications and Network Expenses

 

Variations in telecommunications and network expenses are primarily due to:

 

  volume of voice, data and global roaming traffic;

 

  reduction in network costs resulting from competitive market conditions;

 

  additions or cancellations of customers and associated local access costs of interconnection circuits;

 

20


Table of Contents
  choice of equipment suppliers and terms of agreement with vendors

 

  network redesign and efficiency planning conducted in order to maximize profitability and optimize quality of service; and

 

  expansion or reduction of POPs for interconnection with customers and suppliers.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Variations in selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily due to:

 

  headcount reductions associated with the Old Teleglobe bankruptcy proceedings;

 

  increases in average wages and inflation;

 

  changes in the number of POPs; and

 

  fluctuations in the US dollar-Canadian dollar exchange rate.

 

Cash Flow Generation

 

We generate cash through two settlement processes: net settlement and traditional settlement. If industry practices regarding net settlement were to change, our cash flow could be adversely affected.

 

Net Settlement

 

Because a significant portion of our business is conducted through bilateral arrangements, we generate a substantial amount of our cash flow by periodic “netting” or “settlement.” The fees payable to each party are declared, typically monthly or quarterly, and we either make payments to or receive payments from correspondent carriers based on the net volume and rate of inbound and outbound traffic. Fees are typically settled on a monthly or quarterly basis, but may also be settled biannually or annually. Due to these extended settlement periods, there can be material variations in quarterly cash flows.

 

Traditional Settlement

 

We also employ what we consider a more traditional settlement process under which customers are bound by industry standard contracts with terms of generally net 30 days.

 

In the three months ended June 30, 2004, approximately 70% and 30% of our revenue was generated through net settlement and traditional settlement, respectively.

 

Critical Trends; Performance Drivers

 

Price Erosion

 

Throughout the late 1990’s, the number of companies deploying and managing international fiber optic networks for the provision of voice and data transport services increased dramatically, fueled by expectations for substantial increases in demand as well as investor optimism. The resulting oversupply, coupled with competition among suppliers, has resulted in transport and capacity prices plummeting. Although the price for data transport is highly variable as a function of geography and transport system, according to industry sources the price for data transport has declined due to overcapacity and intense competition. Our average revenue per minute, or ARPM, for international voice traffic has decreased significantly per year since the beginning of 2000, as price erosion has been offset to some extent by favorable product mix. We have continued to experience price erosion in 2004 and anticipate this trend to continue.

 

Cost Deflation

 

The same factors contributing to price erosion, namely oversupply and competition among suppliers, as well as enhancements to network technology, have caused significant price deflation for voice termination and interconnection circuits. As a result, we expect to benefit from ongoing reductions in telecommunications and network expenses.

 

21


Table of Contents

Migration to VoIP

 

As a result of increased reliability and efficiency of VoIP technology, voice traffic using the technology has increased substantially since 2001. We believe that the addition of ITXC’s proprietary technology will permit the Company to maintain quality and reliability while benefiting from the cost advantages of VoIP transport.

 

Bell Canada Revenue Trends

 

The Bell Agreement was amended on June 12, 2003 to extend the agreement and Bell Canada’s minimum purchase commitment for two additional years, from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007. In exchange for Bell Canada’s agreement to eliminate the requirement that Teleglobe purchase telecommunications services for delivery in Canada exclusively from Bell Canada, Teleglobe agreed to eliminate the requirement that Bell Canada purchase certain telecommunications services for delivery outside of Canada exclusively from Teleglobe (i.e., IP transit, IPL and international voice), thereby permitting Teleglobe to enter into its agreements with other major Canadian telecommunications carriers such as Telus. The amendment also reduced annually, in each of the years 2004 through 2007, by specified amounts, the percentage of the traffic that each party is committed to purchase from the other. In addition, the pre-existing requirement to provide Bell Canada the most favorable pricing available to any customer, known as a most favored nations clause, was maintained. As a result of these provisions and the overall trend in the international telecommunications industry toward continual price declines, revenues generated by Bell Canada have been and are expected to continue to decline over time.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Consolidated Financial Statements and Combined Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, investments, intangible assets, restructuring and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies apply to and affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements:

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company estimates the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts required to reduce accounts receivable to expected net realized value by reviewing the status of significant past-due receivables and analyzing historical bad debt trends and industry and customer specific conditions.

 

Revenue Recognition. There are limited estimates required in connection with recognition of revenue because voice and data traffic are measured in automated switches and routers, and contractual rates for traffic are used to bill or declare revenue on a monthly basis. However, for certain voice contracts, historical traffic may be retroactively re-rated within a contract period. This traffic re-rating is calculated and recognized immediately in the month the new contractual rate is established.

 

Although relatively infrequent, there can be material disputes with customers over volume or traffic recognized on our or our customers’ switches. Our practice is to maintain recorded revenue based on our traffic data until the merits of a dispute are identified.

 

22


Table of Contents

Telecommunications Expense. Recognition of voice termination expense for basic termination agreements is similar to revenue recognition and requires minimal estimation. However, material estimates are currently required for our more complex longer-term enhanced bilateral agreements, or EBAs. For these contracts which have an average term of approximately seven months, a termination rate is estimated at the beginning of the contract based on anticipated net inbound/outbound traffic and surcharges. Our current practice is to reconcile actual net traffic and surcharges after the contract terminates, which can result in material periodic adjustments.

 

Network Expenses. Maintenance and restoration expenses for undersea cables vary from period to period based on cable reliability and lit capacity within a sub-sea region. We accrue for these expenses using estimates of costs based on historical trends. On occasion, unanticipated events may require a material adjustment during a reporting period. Additionally, because of the complexity of industry practices for provisioning and disconnecting access circuits, disputes regarding termination timing and associated charges can occur. From time to time, we have experienced material adjustments during a reporting period from resolution of these disputes.

 

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

 

Set forth below is a description of the results of operations derived from the Successor financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and for the month ended June 30, 2003. These results include only the results of operations arising from the purchase of certain businesses from Old Teleglobe. The discussion below sets forth the results of operations derived from the Predecessor financial statements for the five months ended May 30, 2003 and the two months ended May 30, 2003 consisting of all businesses owned by Old Teleglobe. For purpose of comparing periods, the June 2003 monthly results of the Successor have been grouped with the Predecessor financial statements for the five months ended May 30, 2003 and two months ended May 30, 2003 by mathematically adding the relevant periods without making any adjustments. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 would have been different if the entire periods were part of the Successor. The results of ITXC are included in the consolidated results of operations as of June 1, 2004.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Data (Unaudited)

 

We are presenting EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) because management considers it an important supplemental measure of our performance and believes that it is frequently used by interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry, in particular in connection with offerings of debt securities. However, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

  EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;

 

  EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

 

  EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt;

 

  Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

  EBITDA reflects the impact on earnings of charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

 

  Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to our company to invest in its business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on the GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA is a further supplemental measure of our performance. We compute Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA to eliminate the impact of a number of items that management does not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Predecessor revenue includes portions of the Predecessor business not acquired by Successor and may not be directly comparable. Total revenues excluding revenues from Bell Canada increased by $56 million or 36% in the current quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, total revenues excluding revenues from Bell Canada increased by $93 million or 30% from the six months ended June 30, 2003. The revenues generated from Bell Canada decreased due to the renegotiated volume and pricing arrangements as discussed above. The increase in revenues, excluding the Bell revenue, mainly results from the inclusion of $24 million of revenue generated by ITXC in the month of June 2004. The remaining increase in revenues is partially due to an increasingly diverse customer base of Teleglobe (excluding ITXC). The number of customers at current quarter-end represents an increase of 298, including customers obtained through the merger with ITXC, as compared to the comparable period in 2003.

 

Revenue generated from voice transport services increased by approximately $34.6 million or 23.4% during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, voice transport revenue increased by $29.3 million or 9.2% from the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase is mainly due to the inclusion of ITXC revenue for the month of June 2004 and by an increase in minutes of traffic carried. Minutes of traffic carried increased mainly due to a network expansion in Europe and significant market penetration in the USA. Including 358 million minutes generated by ITXC in the month of June 2004, minutes of traffic carried in the current quarter versus the same quarter in 2003 increased by 39% and by 26% in the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the current competitive pricing trends in the telecommunication industry and a scheduled decrease in volume and price adjustment under the Bell Contract.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the average voice revenue per minute was approximately $0.075 per minute, as compared with $0.085 per minute during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The year over year average voice revenue per minute decreased in the current period to $0.077 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $0.089 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in average revenue per minute is primarily attributable to changes in our route destination mix, repricing of Bell services and to an overall decline in rates experienced in telecommunications over the past year.

 

Data service revenue decreased by approximately $5.6 million or 17.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. On a yearly basis, data service revenue decreased by $15.3 million or 21.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decline is in large part a result of cancellation of customer contracts due to uncertainty with Old Teleglobe’s asset sale as well as the repricing of contracts upon renewal as a result of ongoing price competition. These declines were partially offset by increased traffic volumes billed to retained customers. During Old Teleglobe’s bankruptcy, the Predecessor experienced difficulty in signing up new data customers, which led to a decline in data revenues as existing contracts terminated during the five months ended May 30, 2003.

 

Revenue generated from value added services increased by $0.9 million or 4.2% in the current quarter from the second quarter of 2003 and by $0.6 million or 1.4% for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the comparable period of 2003. We experienced increases in signaling services in the current periods, offset by a volume decline in other value added services primarily from operations that were eliminated during the restructuring of the Predecessor and by price erosion resulting from competition by new entrants into the mobile global roaming services market.

Telecommunication expense

 

Telecommunication expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 increased by approximately $31.9 million or 18.8% and $23.9 million or 7.4% respectively, from the same periods in 2003 primarily as a result of the inclusion of ITXC’s telecommunication expenses for the month of June 2004. The increase was partially offset by the termination of our mobile global roaming joint venture agreement with Comfone and lower voice termination costs reflecting benefits from price deflation. At the time of the Acquisition, management had decided to terminate the Comfone agreement and recorded its best estimate of the fair value of the termination payment as an unfavorable contract in the purchase price allocation. Accretion of the liability to reflect the amounts payable are recorded as interest expense. As a percentage of revenue, telecommunication expense increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the prior year periods mainly due to an unfavorable mix of voice transport destinations with lower average margin per minute.

 

Network expense

 

Network expense decreased by approximately $6.1 million or 25.4% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, network expense decreased by $16.9 million or 35.4% from the comparable period in 2003. The decrease is mainly due to the cancellation of access circuits no longer required as a result of the terminated contracts and the rejection of network contracts determined to be unprofitable. Further decreases resulted from ongoing contract renegotiations with our suppliers. The decreases were partially offset by the inclusion of ITXC’s network expenses for the month of June 2004.

 

Network expense as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2003 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. The percentage decrease is a function of the decrease in expenses while revenues increased for the same comparative periods.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense has increased by approximately $10.5 million or 32.7% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 and by $9.1 million or 15.7% in the six months ended June 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase is mainly due to professional services related to ITXC integration and public company requirements, other ITXC integration costs and the inclusion of ITXC’s SG&A expense for the month of June 2004. Furthermore, SG&A expense was adversely affected by the decline in value of the US dollar as compared to the Canadian dollar from the 2003 periods to the 2004 periods, resulting in an increase in our Canadian dollar expenses. The overall increase in SG&A expenses in 2004, is partially offset by the inclusion of costs in the five months ended May 30, 2003 relating to certain operations of the Predecessor that were not acquired by the Successor. The integration of ITXC is currently underway and once complete is expected to provide significant synergies resulting in a decreased cost base.

 

Bad debt expense

 

The bad debt recovery of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is due to ongoing collection efforts to collect accounts which were previously identified as doubtful accounts. Our current stringent credit review practices are contributing to the Company’s ability to decrease bad debt expense. The bad debt expense of $3.8 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2003 reflects the inability of the Predecessor to effectively collect outstanding accounts in its liquidating international entities resulting from Old Teleglobe’s bankruptcy proceedings.

 

Similarly, bad debt expense in the second quarter of 2004 decreased by $0.4 million from the same quarter in 2003.

 

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

 

The foreign exchange loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the foreign exchange gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 are a function of the effect of fluctuations in the Canadian dollar, Euro, British Pound and other currencies versus US Dollar on the assets and liabilities of the Company and of a $1.7 million translation gain related to prior periods. The Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar, however, the Company transacts business in several different currencies.

 

The foreign exchange gains recorded in the 2003 periods presented are primarily due to the increase in value of the Canadian dollar and Euro-denominated accounts receivable and cash balances.

 

Restructuring expense

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company reduced its workforce by 15 people. As a consequence, the Company incurred restructuring costs in the amount of $893,000 consisting of severance.

 

Amortization expense

 

Amortization expense in the current quarter increased by $1.2 million or 88.3% from the same quarter in 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, amortization expense increased by $2.2 million or 93.4% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase is due to intangible assets recorded in connection with the Acquisition and the merger with ITXC Corp. The Predecessor did not have any intangible assets recorded at May 30, 2003.

 

Depreciation expense

 

Depreciation expense decreased by $1.8 million or 30.9% in the current quarter versus the comparable quarter in 2003 mainly due to the lower carrying value basis in the assets of the Successor resulting from the

 

27


Table of Contents

application of purchase accounting. The decrease was partially offset by the inclusion of ITXC’s depreciation expense for the month of June 2004. Similarly, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, depreciation expense decreased by $6.3 million or 61.4% from the six months ended June 30, 2003.

 

Other expenses

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense in the current quarter increased by approximately $3.2 million from the second quarter of 2003. The increase is mainly due to $2.8 million accretion of the Comfone liability to the amounts expected to be paid. The joint venture agreement, acquired as part of the acquisition of the Predecessor, was terminated January 2003, requiring the Company to pay Comfone A.G. its share of any cash derived from the mobile global roaming business until the end of fiscal 2004. At the time of the Acquisition, management recorded its best estimate of the fair value of the termination payment as an unfavorable contract in the purchase price allocation. The remainder of the increase is due to the interest expense related to the senior notes issued in connection with the ITXC merger. Similarly, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest expense increased by $5.5 million from the six months ended June 30, 2003.

 

Income taxes

 

The tax recovery of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is due to current tax recoveries of $1.8 million plus deferred tax recovery of $0.4 million. The current tax recovery of $1.8 million is primarily due to a $2.1 million tax receivable resulting from the carry back of losses incurred by the US entity in the six months ended June 30, 2004 to offset taxable income reported in 2003, offset mainly by $0.2 million for taxes in the Netherlands. The deferred tax recovery of $0.4 million is the result of recording $7.0 million in deferred income tax assets of which $1.3 million relates to a prior period, and to net operating losses and other temporary differences in recognizing assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes, offset by a valuation allowance reserve of $6.6 million in respect to the deferred income tax assets resulting both from net operating losses and other temporary differences.

 

Due to the different corporate structure of the Predecessor and the Predecessor’s bankruptcy proceeding, no meaningful comparison can be made to the 2003 periods presented.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Cash flow from operations

 

The Successor generated negative cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $12.1 million. This cash flow includes cash outflows totaling $2.2 million to settle pre-Acquisition obligations that were assumed by the Successor pursuant to acquired contracts, annual bonus payments of $6.4 million and payments for professional services in the approximate amount of $ 9.2 million. A significant portion of the payment of professional services was in connection with the acquisition of ITXC.

 

Investing Activities

 

The purchases of property and equipment in the six months ended June 30, 2004, consist of network upgrades, interconnection capacity needs and ITXC related purchases. We currently estimate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $40.0 million in fiscal 2004 including expenditures related to ITXC.

 

Financing Activities

 

The negative $4.5 million in financing activities relates to the retirement of the preferred shares and the related dividend payment offset by the issuance of senior notes, all related to the consummation of the merger with ITXC.

Table of Contents

Liquidity

 

We believe that our current liquidity and anticipated future cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations. Our expenditures in 2004 will be primarily attributable to operating expenses, capital expenditures, integration costs associated with the ITXC merger and interest payments. We cannot be certain, however, that additional cash will not be required, particularly if we make significant acquisitions or other investments. The Company exchanged its $95 million preferred shares for $100 million senior notes. The Company is required to make principal repayments of $25 million no later than the second anniversary, $25 million no later than the third anniversary and $50 million no later than May 31, 2008.

 

Our working capital at June 30, 2004 is in a negative position of $3.0 million versus a negative position of $40.5 million at December 31, 2003. The improvement is mostly related to the inclusion of ITXC’s cash, marketable securities and restricted cash balances as a result of the merger. The settlement process in bilateral operating agreements has permitted the Company to operate successfully with negative working capital. We cannot be certain that these conditions will not change in future periods.

 

Current economic conditions of the telecommunications and information services industry, combined with our financial position and liquidity, have created potential opportunities for our company to acquire companies or portions of companies at attractive prices. In addition to the ITXC merger, we continuously evaluate these opportunities and could make additional acquisitions in the near term.

 

The following summarizes TIH’s contractual obligations as of June 30, 2004, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow in future periods.

We have the obligation to repay principal on the $100 million senior notes entered into simultaneous with the closing of the ITXC acquisition. Principal payments of $25 million will be due no later than May 31, 2006, $25 million no later than May 31, 2007 and $50 million no later than May 31, 2008 in addition to interest expense relating to this loan at 10% per annum plus 1% of the outstanding balance at the end of the first year and 2% of the outstanding balance at the end of the second year.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Teleglobe International Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries operate internationally and therefore our major market risk exposure is related to foreign currency fluctuations. Due to low levels of floating rate debt, we do not have material market risk exposures related to changes in interest rates. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its new debt in that it is fixed and accordingly the fair value of the new debt may fluctuate if the interest rate is not commensurate with the market rates. To mitigate foreign currency risks, we may use derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency swap contracts and

 

29


Table of Contents

foreign currency denominated options. The derivative financial instruments are subject to standard credit terms and conditions, financial control management and risk monitoring procedures. However, no such instruments were entered into during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2004.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

On August 12, 2004, the Company announced that it had identified two issues that had occurred in the seven months ended December 31, 2003 in connection with its financial statements. The issues arose out of the repayment of certain intercompany loans in connection with the refinancing of such loans concurrently with the acquisition of ITXC Corp. on May 28, 2004 and the translation of accounts receivable and accounts payable in foreign currency into U.S. dollars. The Company has determined that, although that no restatement of its financial results is necessary as a result of these issues, the Company required a review of certain internal controls and procedures.

 

In repaying the intercompany loans on May 28, 2004, the Company determined that it had failed to identify a change in currency from US Dollars to Euros.

 

In order to further strengthen its internal controls, the Company has determined to require implementation of the following formal policy in connection with agreements:

 

  1. Any agreements and their amendments not made in the ordinary course, including all agreements between related companies, should be endorsed for review by the Controller and Tax departments prior to execution by the officers. A contract review sheet should be utilized upon which the endorsers will indicate who should get an “Action Copy” of the agreement after execution.

 

  2. An “Action Copy” of all such agreements and their amendments shall be distributed to all parties who need to take action, including Controller, Treasurer, Legal, and any other relevant group as soon as the agreements are executed.

 

  3. The Company’s legal department should keep all agreements and all amendments logging them into a database with the date of receipt of each document. Users of these agreements should have access to this database.

 

Because the Company’s implementation of enhanced software system tools to strengthen the automation of its translation adjustment processes led to the discovery of the issue relating to foreign currencies translation, the Company’s management determined that no additional procedures were needed other than the use of the new system tool.

 

The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of its controls and procedures on an ongoing basis and will implement further actions as necessary in its continuing efforts to strengthen the control process.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to senior managers responsible for disclosure by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared. We have established a Disclosure Committee which is made up of several key management employees and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to monitor and evaluate these disclosure controls and procedures. The Audit Committee of the Board also has reviewed the report of the Disclosure Committee. As of the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s

 

30


Table of Contents

disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the second quarter of 2004 as a result of the failure to identify the change in currency on certain intercompany loans. Based on that evaluation, the Company has adopted the additional procedures described above. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that, with the additional procedures in place, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are and will be effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Other than as described above, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On August 16, 2004, Teleglobe announced that after the merger with ITXC was consummated, as part of its normal ongoing review of ITXC’s operations in connection with the post-merger integration of the Company and ITXC, the Company had identified and was investigating potential instances of noncompliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) relating to ITXC’s operations in certain African countries. The Company voluntarily notified the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) of the matter. The Company’s Audit Committee subsequently engaged an outside law firm, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP (“Debevoise”), to investigate the FCPA-related matters. As a result of the investigation, the following individuals are no longer employed by the Company: the Company’s Vice President, Sales-Wireless, formerly the Executive Vice President, Global Sales for ITXC; the Company’s Regional Buyer for Africa, formerly ITXC’s Regional Director for Africa; and Theodore M. Weitz, the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel, formerly Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of ITXC prior to its merger with Teleglobe.

 

Debevoise has reported to the Audit Committee that it has completed its investigation with respect to ITXC’s agency agreements and has issued an executive summary report concerning the results thereof to the Audit Committee and the Company’s auditors. The Debevoise report states that its investigation revealed that employees of ITXC do appear to have violated the FCPA and to have committed commercial bribery in connection with certain telecommunications contracts in Africa. Based upon this report, no additional resignations or terminations of officers are expected. Although Debevoise is not aware of any evidence to suggest any FCPA violations or commercial bribery in any of the activities of Teleglobe, other than the instances of noncompliance relating to ITXC’s operations in certain African countries, Debevoise will subsequently conduct an investigation into the agency agreements entered into by Teleglobe in order to confirm that no similar issues exist with respect to Teleglobe’s compliance with the FCPA.

 

The Company has been cooperating fully with the SEC and the DOJ regarding the matters that have been the subject of Debevoise’s investigation and has periodically briefed representatives of the SEC and DOJ concerning the progress of the investigation. The SEC has advised the Company that it is conducting an informal inquiry into the matter and has requested that Teleglobe provide certain documents to it on a voluntary basis. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the SEC and the DOJ concerning these matters. The Company intends to resolve any potential claims that the SEC or the DOJ may have with respect to these matters as promptly as practicable, but there can be no assurance that a satisfactory resolution of any such claims would be reached. At this time, Teleglobe cannot predict the extent to which the SEC, the DOJ or any other governmental authorities will pursue administrative, civil injunctive or criminal proceedings, the imposition of fines or penalties or other remedies or sanctions. However, based upon the report from Debevoise, the Company has not identified, and does not believe it is likely that, any material adjustment to its financial statements is or will be required in connection with the results of this investigation, although it is possible that a monetary penalty, if any, may be material to the Company’s results of operations in the quarter in which it is imposed.

 

On May 31, 2004, TIH consummated its merger with ITXC. ITXC has been subject to various legal proceedings relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The following are legal proceedings pending against ITXC.

 

On April 14, 2004, Acceris Communications Technologies, Inc. commenced a patent infringement suit in the United States District Court of the District of New Jersey, against ITXC Corp., alleging that ITXC’s VoIP services and systems infringe Acceris’ U.S. Patent No. 6,243,373, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Implementing a Computer Network/Internet Telephone System.” A responsive pleading has been filed and discovery commenced. On May 7, 2004, ITXC filed a lawsuit against Acceris for infringement of a number of ITXC’s VoIP patents. The suit alleged infringement of five of ITXC’s United States Patents, numbers 5,889,774, 6,026,087, 6,404,864, 6,628,760 and 6,661,878, directed generally to the transmission of telephone calls over the Internet and the completion of telephone calls by switching them off the Internet and onto a public switched

telephone network (PSTN). On July 6, 2004, the Court rejected Acceris’ initial motion to dismiss ITXC’s case based upon alleged failure to conduct an adequate precomplaint investigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the allegations of infringement in that case and believes it has substantial defenses to them. However, an adverse result in this litigation could either result in injunctive relief precluding all or a portion of ITXC’s VoIP activity or materially impact ITXC’s revenue and profitability. Litigation of such matters may require significant management and financial resources of the Company and adverse outcomes in such lawsuits could materially adversely affect our financial condition or operating results.

 

A complaint was filed on February 24, 2004 as a class action suit in New Jersey Superior Court naming ITXC Corp. and directors Tom Evslin, Edward Jordan, Frank Gill and Fred Wilson as defendants, which has now been settled and which settlement has now been approved by the Court in its October 14, 2004 Final Order and Judgement (the “Final Order and Judgement”). Two claims had been asserted against the individual defendants, one for breach of fiduciary duty and the other for breach of the duty of candor. Although ITXC was identified as a defendant, no cause of action was asserted against ITXC. The action sought to enjoin the stockholders’ meeting to approve ITXC’s proposed merger with Teleglobe until certain alleged deficiencies in the proxy statement had been cured and sought to permanently enjoin the consummation of the merger. No motion for a preliminary injunction was ever filed and the stockholders’ meeting was held and the merger completed. On June 22, 2004, the defendants entered into a stipulation of settlement with plaintiff’s counsel. On July 26, 2004, the Court ordered that notice of the settlement be provided to all putative class members who were record holders as of March 31, 2004, and that a final settlement hearing be held on October 14, 2004, which has now been conducted. At that hearing the Court gave final approval of the settlement. Under the settlement stipulation, the defendants expressly deny and do not admit liability or any improper conduct of any kind. Consistent with the parties’ agreement, the Court has granted plaintiffs’ counsel’s request for $145,000 in attorneys’ fees for the plaintiff’s counsel. No other payment is required from ITXC, the Company or any of the individual defendants except the costs of printing and mailing the notice to shareholders. Management has accrued its best estimate in its accrued liabilities.

 

On May 23, 2000, Connectel, LLC, had filed suit against ITXC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Connectel alleged in its complaint that ITXC infringed on the claims of a patent owned by Connectel by, acting alone or with others, assembling, offering to sell, selling or using communications networks or switching systems within the United States and for export worldwide without license from Connectel. Connectel also sought unspecified damages. On June 9, 2004, the Court entered an Order dismissing Connectel’s complaint in its entirety with prejudice. No compensation was paid. Thereafter, only ITXC’s counterclaim seeking a declaration that Connectel’s patent was invalid, as well as certain other relief, remained in the lawsuit. On June 18, 2004, the Court entered an Order dismissing the remainder of the case pursuant to a settlement reached between the parties. The Order is now final.

 

ITXC and certain of its officers/directors were named as defendants in several purported shareholder class action lawsuits commenced in 2001. The lawsuits allege, among other things, that, in connection with ITXC’s public offerings of securities, its Prospectus did not disclose certain alleged practices involving its underwriters and their customers. These actions seek compensatory and other damages, and costs and expenses associated with the litigation. No discovery has taken place with respect to ITXC and the other issuer defendants. ITXC is one of hundreds of companies named in substantially identical lawsuits. Management believes that ITXC and its officers/directors did not engage in any improper or illegal conduct. All of these cases have been consolidated for pretrial purposes before Judge Scheindlin in the Southern District of New York, who refused to dismiss the cases in an opinion issued in February 2003. All of the individual defendants who had been named as defendants in the Company’s case have now been dismissed from the proceeding without prejudice, pursuant to a stipulation with the plaintiffs. Neither the individual defendants nor the Company nor its insurers paid any consideration for these dismissals. The issuer defendants, their insurance carriers and the plaintiffs have negotiated a settlement pursuant to which the insurance carriers would fund any monetary consideration, and it is anticipated that this proposed settlement will be submitted to the Court for approval in the near future. If approved by the court, under the terms

of the proposed settlement, ITXC would be dismissed from the litigation with prejudice and should neither have future liability to plaintiffs nor incur any significant expenses in connection with the litigation, except for a limited obligation to cooperate in discovery in the plaintiffs’ continuing cases against the underwriters.

 

Interactive Marketing Technologies, Inc., (“IMT”) is a telecommunications service bureau headquartered in Erlanger, Kentucky, to which ITXC had discontinued service on February 20, 2003, and from which ITXC had demanded payment of a multimillion dollar past due balance, after the parties were unsuccessful in efforts to restructure IMT’s obligations to ITXC. IMT then sued ITXC seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky alleging breach of contract, bad faith, tortious[sic] interference with contract and negligent misrepresentation, among other claims. ITXC thereafter commenced an arbitration action against IMT seeking to recover the amounts owed by IMT, and on July 8, 2003, the United States District Court dismissed IMT’s case in favor of the arbitration proceeding. IMT asserted its claims in the arbitration, and has now filed for bankruptcy protection. ITXC believes IMT’s claims are without merit. ITXC’s claims against IMT will be pursued, if at all, in the bankruptcy proceeding, which has been converted into a Chapter 7 proceeding.

 

We are not party to any other legal proceeding, the adverse outcome of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or future prospects.

 

Item 2. Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

On April 26, 2004, the Company adopted a share option plan for up to 2,334,125 common shares for key employees and directors. The plan was approved by the shareholders on April 27, 2004. On June 9, 2004, the Board of Directors authorized 1,889,000 stock options of which 919,000 were granted to key employees and directors which vest at a rate of one third per year, subject to earlier vesting in certain circumstances. The options terminate no later than seven years after the grant date. The exercise price for these options is equal to $10.49 per share being the closing price on June 9, 2004.

 

On May 27, 2004, the Company adopted a conversion equity incentive plan with respect to 1,595,323 common shares in connection with the conversion of outstanding stock options of ITXC that were assumed in the ITXC merger. The plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 27, 2004 by unanimous written consent, prior to the consummation of the ITXC merger.
