1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PTEK Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“PTEK” or the “Company”), provides enhanced business communications services to global enterprise customers. The Company’s reportable segments align it into two operating segments based on product offering. The Premiere Conferencing segment offers a full suite of traditional and voice-over-IP (“VoIP”)-based conferencing services that enable customers to collaborate over the phone or Web. The Xpedite segment offers a comprehensive suite of data processing and delivery services that enable enterprises to automate core business processes and the electronic delivery of critical, time-sensitive information. The unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, the unaudited statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the unaudited statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2004 or for any other interim period. The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 which includes information and disclosures not included herein. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts Receivable

Included in accounts receivable at September 30, 2004 and 2003 was earned but unbilled revenue of approximately $4.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, at Premiere Conferencing. Earned but unbilled revenue is billed within 30 days.

Software Development Costs

Pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” costs incurred to develop significant enhancements to software features to be sold as part of services offerings and costs incurred to develop or enhance internal information systems are being capitalized. For the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company capitalized software development costs of $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company capitalized $3.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the software, not to exceed three years. Depreciation expense recorded for completed phases in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Depreciation expense recorded for completed phases of software development in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Equity Based Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for awards (other than restricted share awards, performance-based awards or awards related to options that were eligible for, but did not participate in, the Company’s 2001 option exchange for restricted shares) issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans where the exercise price of such award is equal to the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. The Company provides the additional disclosures required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.”

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provision of SFAS No. 123. If compensation expense for the Company’s stock option grants described above had been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and net income per share would have been decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes and corresponding balance sheet accounts are determined in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). Under FAS 109, the deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on temporary differences between the basis of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes, in addition to net operating loss carryforwards which are reasonably assured of being utilized. These differences are primarily attributable to differences in the recognition of depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts and certain employee benefit accruals. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

During the third quarter of 2003 and 2004, the Company reviewed its provision for uncertain tax matters associated with its former PTEK Ventures operating segment. The results of these reviews indicated it was appropriate to reduce certain provisions by approximately $3.3 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Without this tax benefit, income (loss) from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 would have been $11.6 million and $20.3 million and $(1.0) million and $10.6 million, respectively. Net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 would have been $11.6 million and $21.5 million and $(1.9) million and $9.6 million, respectively. Basic income (loss) per share from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 would have been $0.17 and $0.33 and $(0.02) and $0.20, respectively. Diluted income (loss) per share from continuing operations would have been $0.16 and $0.30 and $(0.01) and $0.19 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Basic net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 would have been $0.17 and $0.35 and $(0.03) and $0.18, respectively. Diluted net income (loss) per share would have been $0.16 and $0.32 and $(0.02) and $0.17 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company does not expect any future adjustments for uncertain tax matters associated with its former PTEK Ventures operating segment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In addition, during the third quarter of 2003, the Company utilized certain tax planning strategies to reduce taxes and additional exposures were identified associated with revenue agent examinations. The net effect of these tax strategies and additional exposures was a benefit of approximately $0.2 million. The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for tax exposures.

The Company also records a provision for certain international, federal and state tax contingencies based on the likelihood of obligation, when needed. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to audits from U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These audits may result in adjustments of the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. Further, during the ordinary course of business, other changing facts and circumstances may impact the Company’s ability to utilize tax benefits as well as the estimated taxes to be paid in future periods. The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for tax exposures. If the Company is required to pay an amount less than or exceeding its provisions for uncertain tax matters, the financial impact will be reflected in the period in which the matter is resolved. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, the Company may need to adjust tax accounts which could materially impact its financial condition and results of operations.

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, are contingent until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic net income per share calculation until the shares are vested.

Diluted net income per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s convertible subordinated notes, outstanding warrants, unvested restricted shares and stock options are potentially dilutive securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. In August 2003, the Company issued $85.0 million of 5% convertible subordinated notes due 2008 (the “2008 Convertible Notes”). All of the 2008 Convertible Notes were called for redemption in May 2004 and converted into the Company’s common stock prior to the redemption date in June 2004 at a conversion price of approximately $6.6944 per share or approximately 12.7 million shares. Prior to the conversion on June 14, 2004, the conversion price was less than the market value of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the net income available to common shareholders is adjusted for the interest expense of approximately $1.4 million up to the conversion date of the 2008 Convertible Notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net of tax, and the weighted-average shares outstanding are adjusted for the dilutive effect of the 2008 Convertible Notes on the same pro-rata basis. The difference between basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding was the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, the 2008 Convertible Notes and the unvested restricted shares, computed as follows:

Treasury Stock

All treasury stock transactions are recorded at cost. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company repurchased 1.5 million shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program for approximately $12.8 million. The Company cancelled all 1.5 million shares of outstanding treasury stock during the quarter in which they were purchased. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company repurchased 159,700 shares of treasury stock for approximately $0.6 million. The Company cancelled all shares of outstanding treasury stock purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income represents the change in equity of a business during a period, except for investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized loss on available-for-sale marketable securities represent the Company’s components of other comprehensive income. The following table shows total comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $366.1 million and $391.5 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46-R”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 is an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements and addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that possess certain characteristics. The revision clarifies the definition in the original release than potentially could have classified any business as a VIE. The revision also delays the effective date of the Interpretation from the first reporting period following December 15, 2003 to the first reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. The revision was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company has not identified any VIEs and, accordingly, the application of this Interpretation did not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company did not have any financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity as of September 30, 2004.

Cessation of SFAS No. 142 Amortization

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” It requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets will no longer be subject to amortization, but instead will be subject to a periodic impairment assessment by applying a fair value based test based upon a two-

PTEK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

step method. The first step is to identify potential goodwill impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting units to their carrying amounts. The second step measures the amount of the impairment based upon a comparison of “implied fair value” of goodwill with its carrying value. The balance of goodwill was $160.7 million and $123.1 million as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Summarized below are the carrying value and accumulated amortization of intangible assets that continue to be amortized under SFAS No. 142 (in thousands):

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis with an estimated useful life between three and five years. Amortization expense for the intangible assets above is expected to be approximately $2.5 million for the remainder of 2004, $9.8 million in 2005, $7.9 million in 2006 and 2007, $5.0 million in 2008 and $1.3 million in 2009.

3. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Consolidated restructuring costs at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

Realignment of Workforce – 2003

During the third and fourth quarters of 2003, management executed a plan to reduce annual operating expenses through a reduction in personnel costs related to the Company’s operations, sales and administration and the abandonment of certain facilities deemed to have no future economic benefit to the Company, net of estimated sublease payments. The plan eliminated, through a reduction in workforce of, approximately 135 employees across both business units and at the Holding Company.

On a business unit basis, Xpedite recorded a charge of approximately $9.3 million, comprised of severance and exit costs of approximately $3.7 million and contractual lease obligations of approximately $5.6 million, including estimated sublease income of $3.1 million. During the first nine months of 2004, Xpedite paid approximately $2.1 million related to severance and exit costs and $0.5 million in contractual obligations. A majority of the contractual obligations relate to an Xpedite real property lease which expires in 2016, and, as such, approximately $3.9 million of this liability has been classified in long-term accrued expenses on the balance sheet at September 30, 2004. The remaining restructuring reserve was approximately $4.9 million at September 30, 2004. Premiere Conferencing recorded a charge of approximately $1.0 million, including approximately $0.6 million in severance and exits costs and approximately $0.4 million in contract termination and other associated costs. During the first nine months of 2004, Premiere Conferencing paid the remaining balance of approximately $0.2 million related to severance obligations and contract termination costs. The Holding Company recorded a charge of approximately $0.7 million during 2003 relating to severance obligations due to the former chief legal officer, of which $0.5 million was paid in the first nine months of 2004. Premiere Conferencing and the Holding Company paid the remaining restructuring costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and do not expect any further payments related to these costs.

Realignment of Workforce – Fourth Quarter 2002

In the fourth quarter of 2002, Xpedite and the Holding Company terminated employees pursuant to a plan to reduce headcount and sales and administrative costs. During the first nine months of 2004 and 2003, the Company paid approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in severance and exit costs related to this plan. At September 30, 2004, the remaining accrual related to these costs was approximately $0.2 million.

4. INVESTMENTS

In October 2003, the Company paid AT&T Corp. (“AT&T”) approximately $1.9 million in cash and issued to AT&T a seven-year warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $9.36 per share in exchange for a secured promissory note issued by EasyLink Services Corporation (“EasyLink”) in the original principal amount of $10.0 million and 1,423,980 shares of EasyLink’s Class A common stock, as well as costs associated with the investment. The warrant is recorded at its fair market value under the Black-Scholes method. The Company and EasyLink modified the payment terms of the EasyLink note at the time of transfer. The EasyLink note issued in favor of AT&T was payable in 13 quarterly installments commencing in June 2003 and accrued interest at a rate of 12%. Under the amended payment schedule, the Company is entitled to receive aggregate payments of approximately $13.8 million, consisting of ten quarterly payments of $0.8 million which commenced December 1, 2003, and a balloon payment of approximately $5.8 million on June 1, 2006. The fourth quarterly payment of $0.8 million was received during the three months ended September 30, 2004. The Company has recorded gains of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as a result of payments received in excess of the original estimated carrying value of the note receivable of $1.9 million. EasyLink has received going concern opinions from its independent auditors for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Therefore, the Company believes it is appropriate not to assign any further carrying value to this note. Accordingly, any additional payments that the Company receives will be recorded as additional gain until further evidence becomes available to support a carrying value. The EasyLink note is accounted for in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 03-03 “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.” The carrying value of these assets at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are $0.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

5. ACQUISITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In January 2003, Xpedite acquired substantially all of the assets related to the U.S.-based e-mail and facsimile messaging business of Cable & Wireless USA, Inc. (“C&W”), and assumed certain liabilities, for a total purchase price of $11.4 million. Xpedite paid $6.0 million in cash at closing, $0.4 million in transaction fees and closing costs and was scheduled to pay $5.0 million in 16 equal quarterly installments commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2003, which was secured by a letter of credit issued under the Company’s credit facility. In September 2004, C&W’s successor in interest, SAVVIS, Inc. (“SAVVIS”), accepted early payment of the remaining acquisition payable owed at a discount, resulting in a gain which the Company recorded in the third quarter income statement of approximately $0.4 million. The letter of credit was terminated, and Xpedite was released from any further obligation for the deferred purchase price.

Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company changed the estimated liability for certain lease obligations associated with the discontinued operations of its former Voicecom reportable segment. This change in estimate is attributable to certain sublease arrangements that the Company anticipates entering into with regard to former Voicecom facilities.

In August 2003, an arbitrator issued his ruling relating to franchise disputes brought by Digital Communication Services, Inc., a former franchisee of the Company’s former Voicecom business unit. The arbitrator found that the Digital franchise was constructively terminated in December 2001, and that the franchise value was approximately $1.0 million. The arbitrator rejected other pending claims, except a $15,000 award to the franchisor for equipment that was ordered and used by the franchisee for which no payment was made. This settlement amount and related legal fees of approximately $0.5 million has been included in the discontinued operations line in the income statement.

Of the Voicecom transferred liabilities, approximately $1.9 million represents capital leases guaranteed by the Company as of September 30, 2003.

6. INDEBTEDNESS

On June 30, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year, senior secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as agent (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit provides for borrowings up to $120.0 million and is subject to customary covenants for secured credit facilities of this nature. The new Line of Credit replaces the previous $60 million three-year senior secured revolving credit facility with LaSalle Bank National Association, as agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as documentation agent, which was entered into in November 2003. At September 30, 2004, the Company believes it was in compliance with all covenants of the Line of Credit. Proceeds drawn under this Line of Credit may be used for refinancing of existing debt, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The annual interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Line of Credit is, at the Company’s option, the base rate (the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the Bank of America prime rate) or LIBOR, plus, in each case, an applicable margin which will vary based upon our leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. At September 30, 2004, the applicable margin with respect to base rate loans was 0.0%, and the applicable margin with respect to LIBOR loans was 1.5%. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $54.6 million of borrowings outstanding and approximately $0.7 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Line of Credit. As a result of the refinancing of the Company’s previous credit facility with LaSalle Bank, approximately $0.7 million of deferred financing costs associated with this credit facility were expensed to debt conversion costs in the second quarter of 2004.

On August 12, 2003, the Company issued $75.0 million of 5% convertible subordinated notes due August 15, 2008. On August 15, 2003, the initial purchasers of the 2008 Convertible Notes exercised an option to purchase an additional $10.0 million of 2008 Convertible Notes. The annual interest commitment associated with the outstanding 2008 Convertible Notes was $4.3 million and was to be paid semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The Company called 100% of its outstanding $85 million principal amount of the 2008 Convertible

Notes for redemption on June 14, 2004. All holders of the 2008 Convertible Notes elected to convert their notes into the Company’s common stock prior to the redemption date. As a result, the 2008 Convertible Notes were converted into approximately 12.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 149.3786 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equal to a conversion price of approximately $6.6944 per share). In addition, the Company made an interest make-whole payment in cash of $16.3 million with respect to all 2008 Convertible Notes called for provisional redemption and paid $1.4 million in accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the date of redemption. The interest make-whole payment was equal to the present value of the aggregate amount of interest that would otherwise have accrued from the provisional redemption date through the maturity date and is classified as debt conversion costs in the income statement.

In July 1997, the Company issued $172.5 million of 5 ³/4% convertible subordinated notes that matured on July 1, 2004 (the “2004 Convertible Notes”), a portion of which had been repurchased or redeemed prior to July 1, 2004. The 2004 Convertible Notes were convertible at the option of the holder into common stock at a conversion price of $33 per share, through the date of maturity, subject to adjustment in certain events. On July 1, 2004, the Company retired the principal obligation due of $15.0 million with borrowings under its prior credit facility.

7. EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

Options exchanged for restricted shares

In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company offered an exchange program in which it granted one restricted share of common stock in exchange for every 2.5 options tendered. Approximately 6.0 million employee and director stock options were exchanged for approximately 2.4 million shares of restricted stock on December 28, 2001, the date of the exchange. The restricted shares maintain the same vesting schedules as those of the original options exchanged, except that in the case of tendered options that were vested on the exchange date, the restricted shares received in exchange therefore vested on the day after the exchange date. To the extent options were vested at the exchange date, the Company recognized equity based compensation expense determined by using the closing price of the Company’s common stock at December 28, 2001, which was $3.32 per share. To the extent that restricted shares were received for unvested options exchanged, this cost was deferred on the balance sheet under the caption “Unearned restricted share compensation.” This value was also determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the exchange. The unearned restricted share compensation is recognized as equity based compensation expense as these shares vest. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, equity based compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively was recognized. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, equity based compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was recognized.

In addition, approximately 890,000 options that were eligible to be exchanged for restricted shares pursuant to the exchange offer were not tendered. At September 30, 2004, this option count was approximately 225,000 due to the sale of Voicecom and other cancellations or exercises of these options. These options will be subject to variable accounting until such options are exercised, are forfeited or expire unexercised. These options have exercise prices ranging from $5.23 to $13.95. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, income of approximately $0.7 million was recorded because the market value of the Company’s common stock was greater than the exercise price of a portion of the options, but less than the market value at September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, no expense was recorded because the market value of the Company’s common stock was approximately equal to the market value at December 31, 2003. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, expense of approximately $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, was recorded because the market value of the Company’s common stock was greater than the exercise price of a portion of the options.

Restricted shares issued to executive management

Certain members of the executive management of the Company were awarded discretionary bonuses in the form of restricted shares in November 2001. The purpose of these discretionary bonuses was to better align executive management’s performance with the interests of the shareholders. Certain of these restricted shares vested immediately in 2001 and were restricted from trading for a one-year period. The cost associated with the remaining

restricted shares is recognized straight line through 2004 and the equity based compensation expense recorded for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company issued restricted shares to approximately 75 employees which resulted in compensation expense of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Other stock option compensation expense

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recognized stock option compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as a result of the modification of a director stock option grant in connection with the resignation of a member of the Board of Directors in June 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company has recognized approximately $0.6 million of non-cash stock compensation expense related to non-employees and board members. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million as a result of the acceleration of options associated with the resignation of several board members.

Notes receivable – employees

During 2002, the Company loaned approximately $2.0 million with recourse to certain members of management to pay taxes in connection with restricted shares issued in exchange for options in December 2001 and discretionary restricted shares issued in November 2001. These loans are due in 2012, accrue interest at a weighted average rate of 5.5%, and are secured by the restricted shares granted. During 2004, several of these loans, including interest, were paid off in the amount of $0.9 million leaving a principal balance of approximately $1.0 million and $1.7 million at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The total interest accrued on these loans was approximately $0.1 million at both September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The Company has a legal commitment to make additional loans to pay taxes associated with the future vesting of restricted shares as evidenced by restricted stock agreements and board and committee resolutions dated before July 30, 2002, but the dollar amount of such loans cannot be determined at this time.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has several litigation matters pending, as described below, which it is defending vigorously. Due to the inherent uncertainties of the litigation process and the judicial system, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of such litigation matters. If the outcome of one or more of such matters is adverse to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

A lawsuit was filed in November 1998 against the Company and certain of its officers and directors in the Southern District of New York. Plaintiffs are shareholders of Xpedite who acquired our common stock. Plaintiffs allege causes of action against the Company for breach of contract, against all defendants for negligent misrepresentation, violations of Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and against the individual defendants for violation of Section 15 of the Securities Act. Plaintiffs seek undisclosed damages together with pre- and post-judgment interest, recission or recissory damages as to violation of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, punitive damages, costs and attorneys’ fees. The defendants’ motion to transfer venue to Georgia has been granted. The defendants’ motion to dismiss has been granted in part and denied in part. By order dated September 26, 2003, the District Court granted in its entirety the defendants’ motion for summary judgment and denied as moot the defendants’ motion in limine. On September 23, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed as to the dismissal of the negligent misrepresentation claim and the claim under Section 12. The Eleventh Circuit reversed and remanded for further proceedings on the Section 11 claim. On October 14, 2004, defendants filed a motion for rehearing and rehearing en banc as to the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling on the Section 11 claim.

In December 2001, Voice-Tel Enterprises, Inc. (“Voice-Tel”) filed a complaint against Voice-Tel franchisees, JOBA, Inc. (“JOBA”) and Digital Communication Services, Inc. (“Digital”) in the U.S. District Court

13

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the Northern District of Georgia. The complaint sought injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment with respect to Voice-Tel’s right to terminate the franchise agreements with JOBA and Digital. In January 2002, JOBA and Digital answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims against Voice-Tel for alleged breach of franchise agreements and other alleged franchise-related agreements. JOBA and Digital also asserted third-party claims alleging tortious interference of contract against the Company and its subsidiary, Premiere Communications, Inc. (“PCI”). In January 2002, plaintiffs and third-party defendants filed responses and answers to the counterclaims and third-party complaint, and Voice-Tel filed additional breach of contract and tort claims against JOBA and Digital. The Digital franchise agreement contained a mandatory arbitration provision, which was not found in the JOBA franchise agreement, and the breach of franchise claims pertaining to Digital were severed and sent to arbitration, which was concluded in the summer of 2003. In July 2002, Voicecom Telecommunications, LLC (“Voicecom”), which is not an affiliate of the Company, was added as a party plaintiff in the lawsuit against JOBA and Digital. In March 2003, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment, and dismissed PCI and the Company from the case. The Court also granted partial summary judgment in favor of each of the parties such that the only remaining claims in the case related to alleged breaches in the franchise agreement and alleged overpayments of certain fees between the franchisor and the franchisee. In 2004, JOBA filed a motion for relief from the summary judgment orders dismissing PCI and the Company as well as a motion to disqualify counsel for plaintiffs and third-party defendants to which plaintiffs and third-party defendants responded and objected. JOBA also requested that the Court reconsider an earlier ruling that precluded JOBA from amending its counterclaim to add a claim for alleged constructive termination of the franchise agreement by Voice-Tel. In September 2004, the Court denied JOBA’s motions to reconsider the summary judgment rulings and denied JOBA’s motion to disqualify counsel but granted JOBA’s request for leave to amend its counterclaim to add a claim for alleged constructive termination of the franchise agreement by Voice-Tel. No date has been set for trial.

In March 2004, in a separate action, JOBA filed a third-party complaint against PCI, Voice-Tel and the Company. The claims were filed in a lawsuit pending in the State Court of Fulton County, Georgia, between JOBA, and its current franchisor, Voicecom, in which Voicecom sought a declaratory judgment with respect to its rights and/or responsibilities under an equipment, sales and service term sheet. Voice-Tel had served as the franchisor to JOBA from 1997 until March 2002, when Voicecom acquired substantially all of the assets of PCI and Voice-Tel, including the JOBA franchise agreement. The third-party claims by JOBA against PCI, Voice-Tel and the Company purport to arise out of the same transactions and occurrences that form the subject matter of litigation currently pending (or which had been dismissed) in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia. In April 2004, the Company answered and responded to the third-party complaint in State Court of Fulton County, and, among other things, filed motions to dismiss the third-party complaint, strike portions of the third-party complaint and stay discovery. JOBA responded to the Company’s motions and filed certain offensive motions to which the third-party defendants responded and objected. No discovery has been taken in that case and the court has not yet ruled on any pending motions.

In November 2003, Xpedite filed suit against C&W in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia. The lawsuit arises out of Xpedite’s purchase of certain voice, e-mail and fax messaging assets from C&W. Pursuant to a transaction services agreement, C&W was to continue to provide certain services to Xpedite until such time C&W circuits were assigned to Xpedite. Xpedite alleges that C&W failed to perform these services in accordance with the agreement and improperly invoiced Xpedite for charges incurred by C&W which were not provided for in the agreement. In November 2003, a day after the above-referenced Georgia lawsuit was filed, C&W filed a complaint against Xpedite in Virginia state court. The Virginia lawsuit sought recovery for those charges allegedly incurred by C&W relating to C&W’s telecommunications charges of not less than $776,619.49. Xpedite answered the Virginia complaint, denying that it was liable for the charges. Xpedite also asserted counterclaims against C&W, which were identical to the claims set forth in Xpedite’s Georgia complaint. C&W filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in December 2003. In 2004, the Georgia lawsuit by Xpedite was dismissed without prejudice, and the Virginia lawsuit by C&W was stricken from the docket without prejudice to either party. Xpedite expects this claim to be dealt with in the C&W bankruptcy case’s claim resolution process.

We have recently received letters from A2D, L.P., an affiliate of Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (“Katz”), informing the Company of the existence of certain of Katz’s patents and the potential applicability of those patents to certain of the Company’s services. The letters also include an offer to the Company of a nonexclusive license to the Katz portfolio of patents. The Company is currently considering the matter raised in these letters, and no legal proceedings have been instituted at this time. If the Katz patents are valid, enforceable

and apply to certain of the Company’s services, the Company may seek a license from A2D. If the Company decides to seek such a license, it is uncertain as to the terms upon which the Company may be able to negotiate and obtain a license, if at all, as well as to the amount of the possible one-time and recurring license fees which the Company may be required to pay.

The Company is also involved in various other legal proceedings which the Company does not believe will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations, although no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings.

9. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s reportable segments align the Company into two operating segments based upon product offerings. These segments are Premiere Conferencing and Xpedite.

One of Premiere Conferencing’s customers, IBM, accounts for a significant amount of revenues. Sales to that customer accounted for approximately 10.4% and 11.0% of consolidated revenues from continuing operations (22.4% and 24.6% of Premiere Conferencing’s revenue) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 , respectively, and 11.2% and 11.5% of consolidated revenues from continuing operations (26.7% and 27.6% of Premiere Conferencing’s revenue) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. The Company announced on September 7, 2004, IBM’s intention to transition the reservation-less conferencing services currently provided by the Company to an alternative provider. The transition is expected to begin sometime in 2005. The Company expects to continue providing conferencing services to IBM through December 31, 2004, the expiration date of its customer agreement with IBM, and into 2005. However, the Company anticipates the level of its services to IBM will decline and expects that IBM will account for approximately 2.0% to 3.0% of consolidated revenues from continuing operations in 2005. The Company may not be able to retain IBM as a customer at the levels currently forecasted. The loss in revenues from and diminution in the relationship with IBM could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
