NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS

Premiere Global Services, Inc. (the “Parent”) is a leading global provider of on-demand communication technologies-based business process improvement solutions.  The Parent is headquartered in Atlanta, GA and has a global presence in 24 countries.  The Parent offers a broad suite of business applications in two solution sets, including audio and web conferencing and collaboration and webcasting services in its PGiMeet solutions (the “Meet Business”) and digital fax, document delivery and notifications services in its PGiSend solutions (“PGiSend,” the “Send Business” or “our”).

On October 21, 2010, the parent completed the sale of Xpedite Systems, LLC and all of the outstanding shares of Xpedite Systems (UK) Limited along with certain assets and liabilities of Premiere Conferencing (Canada) Limited, which collectively comprise the Parent’s Send Business for $105.0 million in cash, subject to downward or a capped upward adjustment to the extent net working capital is less than or greater than $6.4 million.

2. 
NATURE OF OPERATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Send Business as if the Send Business was operated as a separate entity and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The financial position and results of operations of the Send Business have been “carved-out” from the Parent’s consolidated financial statements and presented herein as if the Send Business was a separate entity.

The Send Business includes fax and document delivery tools integrated with IP fax technology and notifications and reminders between businesses and their constituents delivered via automated speech, email, fax and SMS technologies.

As discussed further in Note 4, the accompanying financial statements include the revenues, costs, assets and liabilities that are directly attributable to the Send Business and have been prepared from the separate records maintained by the Parent’s corporate accounting department that relate to the Send Business (the “Direct Resources”). In addition, the financial statements include certain costs, assets and liabilities related to (i) company resources that are shared by the Send Business and the Meet Business (the “Shared Resources”) and (ii) corporate overhead resources that are shared by the Send Business and the Meet Business (the “Corporate Costs”).  Amounts involving management’s estimates, including Shared Resources and Corporate Costs, have been allocated based on a percentage of headcount, personnel costs, revenue or estimates of use relative to the Parent’s overall totals.  The Parent believes the allocations of these amounts were determined on a reasonable basis and, therefore, approximate substantially all of the material incremental amounts that would have been recognized had the Send Business been operated on a stand-alone basis. These allocated amounts, however, are not necessarily indicative of the actual amounts that might have been incurred or realized had the Send Business operated as an unaffiliated entity during the period presented. Moreover, no independent studies or third party valuations have been obtained to validate the reasonableness of these allocated amounts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, and present the Send Business’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as derived from the Parent’s historical financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” as an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.”  ASU No. 2010-09 reinforced the requirement for non-SEC registrants to disclose the date through which management evaluated subsequent events in the financial statements and whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.  The management of the Send Business has evaluated subsequent events through October 12, 2010, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  The new disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009.  The adopted provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 are limited to disclosures and did not have any effect on our consolidated financial position or result of operations.  Fair value approximated the carrying value of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2010.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” an amendment to its accounting guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables.  This new accounting guidance addresses the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables and how consideration should be allocated to separate units of accounting, when applicable.  In the same month, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-14, “Software, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements,” which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements.  This update excludes from software revenue recognition all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality and includes such products in the multiple-deliverable revenue guidance discussed above.  This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted. All guidance contained within these updates must be adopted in the same period.  We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive loss represents the change in equity of a business during a period, except for investments by owners and distributions to owners.  Comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $7.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The differences between net income, as reported and comprehensive loss are foreign currency translation adjustments. The changes in the accumulated other comprehensive gain balance presented in the statements of Parent’s investment were not impacted by taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

4. 
INCOME TAXES

Significant judgment is required to determine our provision for income taxes, including deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowances.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts recognized for income tax purposes and the amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes.  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 on a more likely than not basis.

The change in income tax expense between the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was related to a fluctuation in operating loss, changes to the income mix between international tax jurisdictions and changes in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets for certain foreign subsidiaries. Our income tax rate varied from federal rates during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 due to valuation allowances, the effects of income shifts between certain foreign jurisdictions and certain tax credits.

5. 
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND CORPORATE ALLOCATIONS

As discussed in Note 2, the accompanying financial statements include the revenues, costs, assets and liabilities that are directly attributable to the Send Business.  Accordingly, certain amounts included in these financial statements have been derived by the Parent based on actual amounts directly attributable to the Send Business or management’s best estimate of the amounts directly attributable to the Send Business.

 

  
PGISEND
(A Carve-Out of Premiere Global Services, Inc.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Accumulated transactions with Parent balances in the accompanying balance sheets include the original investment in the Send Business, accumulated earnings of the Send Business and contributions from and distributions to the Parent and the Meet Business.  Such contributions from and distributions to the Parent and the Meet Business arise from shared resources, our centralized approach to cash management within specific tax jurisdictions and the allocation by the Parent of certain amounts incurred by them that are directly attributable to supporting the Send Business.

The following table details activity that impacted the Accumulated transactions with Parent balances between December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 related to contributions from and distributions to the Parent and the Meet Business from the Send Business:

Balance — December 31, 2009

Corporate allocations for support costs
    3,109  
Net loss
    (4,847 )
Balance — June 30, 2010
  $ 56,440  

There are no intercompany purchase or sale transactions between the Parent or the Meet business and the Send Business.  Under the Parent’s centralized cash management approach, in tax jurisdictions where it is possible, all excess cash is remitted to the Parent.  The net of transactions between the Parent and the Send Business are reflected in Accumulated transactions with Parent in the accompanying balance sheets.  We have incurred interest charges on certain intercompany loans which are classified as intercompany interest expense in our statements of operations.

As discussed in Note 2, the Send Business has been allocated a portion of expenses related to (i) the Parent’s executive management and corporate personnel salaries and related benefits; and (ii) the Parent’s corporate costs to operate its corporate finance, accounts payable, internal audit, legal, tax, investor relations, marketing and human resources functions.  The allocations of the Parent’s corporate costs were made based on estimates of the proportion of corporate expenses related to the Send Business, utilizing such factors as revenues, number of employees, salaries and wages expenses and other applicable factors.  In the opinion of management, these allocations have been made on a reasonable basis.  The costs of these services charged to the Send Business may not reflect the actual costs the Send Business would have incurred for similar services as a stand-alone company.  Moreover, no independent studies or third-party valuations have been obtained to validate the reasonableness of these allocated amounts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Realignment of Workforce – 2010

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we executed a restructuring plan to consolidate and streamline various functions of our work force.  We incurred restructuring costs of $1.4 million and asset impairment charges of $1.8 million associated with these efforts.  As part of these consolidations, we eliminated approximately 20 positions.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded total severance and exit costs of $1.1 million.  Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded $0.1 million of lease termination costs associated with an office location in North America.  The expenses associated with these activities are reflected in “Restructuring costs” in our statements of operations.  Our reserve for the 2010 restructuring costs was $0.8 million at June 30, 2010.  We anticipate these severance-related costs will be paid over the next year and these lease termination costs will be paid over the next 18 months.

Realignment of Workforce – 2009

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we executed a restructuring plan to consolidate and streamline various functions of our work force.  As part of these consolidations, we eliminated approximately 160 positions.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded total severance and exit costs of $8.9 million.  Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded $1.2 million of lease termination costs associated with office locations in North America and Europe.  In the six months ended June 30, 2010, we adjusted the initially recorded charges for severance-related costs and lease termination costs by $(0.3) million and $0.1 million, respectively.  The expenses associated with these activities are reflected in “Restructuring costs” in our statements of operations.  Our reserve for the 2009 restructuring costs was $1.3 million at June 30, 2010.  We anticipate these severance-related costs will be paid over the next year, and these lease termination costs will be paid over the next nine years.

Realignment of Workforce – Prior to 2008

Our remaining reserve for restructuring costs incurred prior to 2008 is associated with lease termination costs and totaled $3.7 million at June 30, 2010.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, we revised assumptions used in determining the estimated costs associated with these lease terminations incurred prior to 2008.  As a result, an additional $3.2 million of lease termination costs was recorded.  In the six months ended June 30, 2010, we adjusted the initially recorded charges for lease termination costs by $0.4 million.  The expenses associated with these activities are reflected in “Restructuring costs” in our statements of operations. We anticipate these remaining lease termination costs will be paid over the next six years.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

The Parent has certain stock plans under which its restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards may be issued to employees, directors, non-employee consultants and advisors. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 only restricted stock awards were issued. The compensation committee of the Parent’s board of directors administers these stock plans.

The fair value of restricted stock awards is the market value of the stock on the date of grant. The effect of vesting conditions that apply only during the requisite service period is reflected by recognizing compensation cost only for the restricted stock awards for which the requisite service is rendered. As a result, we are required to estimate an expected forfeiture rate, as well as the probability that performance conditions that affect the vesting of certain stock-based awards will be achieved, and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest.
 

PGISEND
(A Carve-Out of Premiere Global Services, Inc.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We estimate that forfeiture rate based on historical experience of our stock-based awards that are granted, exercised and voluntarily canceled.  If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.  We use a forfeiture rate of 1.5% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
