In addition, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, all remaining forfeiture restrictions applicable to restricted shares of XETA common stock will expire and the holders thereof will be entitled to receive the merger consideration with respect to each such share. Certain options to purchase shares of XETA common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will become fully vested immediately prior to the effective time, and holders of warrants and vested options will be entitled to receive specified consideration. The merger consideration will be approximately $61 million in the aggregate.

As of March 31, 2011, the $450.0 million principal amount of the Companys 9 7/8% senior notes due 2018 had an estimated fair market value of approximately $473.6 million, the $650.0 million principal amount of the Companys 8 7/8% senior secured notes due 2017 had an estimated fair market value of approximately $697.1 million, the $300.0 million principal amount of the Companys 9.5% senior notes due 2015 had an estimated fair market value of approximately $314.3 million, and the $25.0 million principal amount of the Companys senior secured credit facility had an estimated fair market value of approximately $25.0 million. As of December 31, 2010, the $450.0 million principal amount of the Companys 9 7/8% senior notes due 2018 had an estimated fair market value of approximately $463.5 million, the $650.0 million principal amount of the Companys 8 7/8% senior secured notes due 2017 had an estimated fair market value of approximately $695.5 million, the $300.0 million principal amount of the Companys 9.5% senior notes due 2015 had an estimated fair market value of approximately $311.3 million, and the $25.0 million principal amount of the Companys senior secured credit facility had an estimated fair market value of approximately $25.0 million. The estimated market values as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are based on quarter-end closing market prices published by securities firms. While the Company believes these approximations to be reasonably accurate at the time published, quarter-end closing market prices can vary widely depending on the volume traded by any given securities firm and on other factors.
6. | INCOME TAXES |
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $0.7 million and represents current state taxes consisting primarily of taxes based on gross margin or modified gross receipts, and income taxes in jurisdictions where net operating losses are not available. The difference between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to the existence of a valuation allowance on PAETECs net deferred tax assets.
ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after a determination that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2011 was $0.5 million, net of federal benefit, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

Table of Contents
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had less than $0.1 million of accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The Companys U.S. federal tax years ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2010 and various state tax years remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.

9. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Purchase Commitments
As of March 31, 2011, the Company had entered into agreements with vendors to purchase approximately $31.1 million of equipment and services, of which the Company expects $25.9 million to be delivered and payable in the year ending December 31, 2011, $2.6 million to be delivered and payable in the year ending December 31, 2012, and $2.6 million to be delivered and payable in the year ending December 31, 2013.
Data and Voice Services
The Company has various agreements with certain carriers for data and voice services. As of March 31, 2011, the Companys minimum commitments under these agreements totaled $138.5 million, of which $110.8 million expires in the year ending December 31, 2011, $12.5 million expires in the year ending December 31, 2012, $12.5 million expires in the year ending December 31, 2013, and the remaining $2.7 million expires in the year ending December 31, 2014. Related expenses, when incurred, are included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Regulation
The Companys services are subject to varying degrees of federal, state and local regulation. These regulations are subject to ongoing proceedings at federal and state administrative agencies or within state and federal judicial systems. Results of these proceedings could change, in varying degrees, the manner in which the Company operates. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or their effect on the Companys industry generally or on the Company specifically.
Interconnection and Network Access Agreements
The Company is dependent on the use of incumbent local exchange carriers local and transport networks and access services to provide telecommunications services to its customers. Charges for leasing local and transport network components and purchasing special access services historically have made up a significant percentage of the Companys overall cost of providing the services. These network components and services are purchased in each PAETEC market through interconnection agreements, special access contracts, commercial agreements or a combination of such agreements from the incumbent local exchange carrier, or, where available, from other wholesale network service providers. These costs are recognized in the period in which the services are delivered and are included as a component of the Companys cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Letters of Credit
The Company is party to letters of credit totaling $8.0 million as of March 31, 2011. The Company does not expect any material losses from these financial instruments since performance under these letters of credit is not likely to be required.
Litigation
The Company is party to various legal proceedings, most of which relate to routine matters incidental to the Companys business. The result of any current or future litigation or other legal proceedings is inherently unpredictable. The Companys management, however, believes that there is no litigation or other legal proceedings asserted or pending against the Company that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows except as indicated below.
In October 2008, PaeTec Communications, Inc. filed a claim in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of Monroe, against Lucent Technologies, Inc., Alcatel USA Marketing, Inc. and Alcatel-Lucent (collectively Alcatel-Lucent) for reimbursement of costs and fees in connection with a patent infringement case brought against the Company by Sprint Communications Company L.P. (Sprint) and settled in May 2009. The Companys claim against Alcatel-Lucent alleges that because the Sprint claims arose from the use by the Company of Alcatel-Lucent equipment, Alcatel-Lucent has an obligation to defend and indemnify the Company pursuant to the contract terms under which it sold the equipment to the Company. Alcatel-Lucent has denied the claim and counter-claimed against the Company for allegedly unpaid switch software licensing charges, and associated late fees. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses against these counter-claims. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate a potential loss or range of loss, if any.
10. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities by establishing a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value as follows:
Level 1 defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs); and
12
Table of Contents
Level 3 unobservable inputs that reflect the Companys determination of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including the Companys own data.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Companys financial instruments by the foregoing fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (in thousands):

At March 31, 2011, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents presented in the table above was primarily composed of the Companys investments in publicly traded money market instruments. The Companys cash and cash equivalent balances excluded from the table above are composed of cash, certificates of deposits with original maturities of one month or less and overnight investments. The fair value of the Companys other assets, net consists of restricted investments in registered money market instruments.
11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). This ASU provides amendments to the criteria in ASC 605-25 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. It establishes a hierarchy of selling prices to determine the selling price of each specific deliverable, which includes vendor-specific objective evidence (if available), third-party evidence (if vendor-specific evidence is not available), or estimated selling price if neither of the first two is available. This ASU also eliminates the residual method for allocating revenue between the elements of an arrangement and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement. Finally, this ASU expands the disclosure requirements regarding a vendors multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The adoption of this accounting standard on January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements. This ASU amends accounting and reporting guidance under ASC 605-985 to exclude from its scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality. The adoption of this accounting standard on January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
12. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated all subsequent events to ensure that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the financial statements as of March 31, 2011, and events which occurred subsequent to March 31, 2011 but were not recognized in the financial statements. No subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure were identified.

Overview
PAETEC is a competitive broadband communications services and solutions provider guided by the principle that delivering superior customer service is the key to competing successfully with other communications services providers. PAETECs primary business is providing business end-user customers in metropolitan areas with a package of integrated broadband services that encompasses data services, including Internet access services and virtual private network services, and voice services, including local telephone services and domestic and international long distance services. As of March 31, 2011, PAETEC provided services for over 54,000 business customers in a service area encompassing 86 of the top 100 metropolitan statistical areas.
Business Acquisition. On February 8, 2011, PAETEC Holding entered into a merger agreement by and among PAETEC Holding, XETA Technologies, Inc., which we refer to as XETA, and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of PAETEC Holding, pursuant to which XETA will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAETEC Holding at the effective time of the merger. Under the merger agreement, XETAs security holders have the right to receive total merger consideration of approximately $61 million. The merger agreement has been approved unanimously by the board of directors of each of PAETEC Holding and XETA. The consummation of the merger is subject to customary conditions, including approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of XETAs common stock entitled to vote on the merger and receipt of any required regulatory approvals.
Revenue. PAETEC derives revenue from sales of its network services, carrier services and integrated solutions services. PAETEC derives most of its revenue from monthly recurring fees and usage-based fees that are generated principally by sales of its network services.
Monthly recurring fees include the fees paid by PAETECs customers for lines in service and additional features on those lines. PAETEC primarily bills monthly recurring fees in advance.
Usage-based fees consist of fees paid by PAETECs network services customers for each call made, fees paid by the incumbent carriers in PAETECs markets as reciprocal compensation when PAETEC terminates local calls made by their customers, and access fees paid by other carriers for long distance calls PAETEC originates or terminates for those carriers.
The monthly recurring fees and usage-based fees generated by sales of PAETECs network services to end users and carrier services to any customer tend to be relatively consistent from month to month, subject to changes in the calling patterns of the customers business.
Network Services. PAETEC delivers integrated communications services, including data and Internet services, local services and long distance services, to end users on a retail basis, which the company refers to as its network services.
PAETECs network services revenue consists primarily of monthly recurring fees and usage-based fees. In addition to usage-based fees invoiced directly to the end-user customers, usage-based fees for PAETECs network services include the interstate and intrastate access fees the company receives from other communications providers when it originates or terminates long-distance calls for those other providers to or from PAETECs network services customers, and the reciprocal compensation fees PAETEC receives from some other local carriers when it terminates non-toll calls originated by customers of other carriers. PAETEC recognizes revenue during the period in which the revenue is earned. PAETECs network services also generate non-recurring service activation and installation fee revenues, which it receives upon initiation of service. PAETEC defers recognition of these revenues and amortizes them over the average customer life.
14
Table of Contents
PAETECs core network services are those that generate revenue from retail enterprise customers to which PAETEC delivers such integrated communications services on primarily T1 or larger access lines, which excludes access fee and reciprocal compensation fee revenue related to network services and revenue from the companys non-core POTS operations. POTS operations involve the provision of basic telephone services supplying standard single line telephones, telephone lines and access to the public switched network.
Carrier Services. PAETEC generates revenue from wholesale sales of communications services to other communications businesses, which the company refers to as its carrier services.
PAETECs carrier services revenue consists primarily of monthly recurring fees and usage-based fees. Usage-based fees for PAETECs carrier services consist primarily of the interstate and intrastate access fees the company receives from other communications providers when it originates or terminates long distance calls for those other providers to or from PAETECs carrier services customers, and the reciprocal compensation fees PAETEC receives from some other local carriers when it terminates to its carrier services customers local calls made by customers of other local carriers.
PAETECs core carrier services are those that generate revenue from other communications providers, which excludes access fee and reciprocal compensation fee revenue related to carrier services and revenue from the companys non-core POTS operations.
Integrated Solutions. PAETEC derives revenue from sales to retail end-user customers of telecommunications equipment and software and related services and energy supply services, which the company refers to collectively as its integrated solutions.
A portion of PAETECs integrated solutions revenue consists of fees its customers pay for equipment and for PAETECs system design and installation services. PAETEC recognizes revenue for equipment sales and system design and installation services upon delivery and acceptance of the underlying installed equipment.
PAETEC derives an additional component of its integrated solutions revenue by selling and supporting its proprietary telecommunications software. PAETEC recognizes revenue related to software sales upon delivery of the software. Support fees include fees for maintenance of PAETECs telecommunications software and fees for training the end user in the proper use of that software. PAETEC recognizes maintenance fees on a pro rata basis over the length of the underlying maintenance contract and training fees after it fulfills the training obligation.
Energy supply services revenue consists primarily of usage-based fees its customers pay for unregulated electricity. Revenues are subject to variability based upon market factors. PAETEC recognizes revenue related to energy sales when the service is provided.
Cost of Sales. PAETEC provides its network services and carrier services by using electronic network components that it owns and telephone and data transmission lines that it leases from other telecommunications carriers. PAETECs cost of sales for these services consists primarily of leased transport charges and usage costs for local and long distance calls. PAETECs leased transport charges are the payments it makes to lease the telephone and data transmission lines, which the company uses to connect its customers to its network and to connect its network to the networks of other carriers. Usage costs for local and long distance are the costs that PAETEC incurs for calls made by its customers. Cost of sales for PAETECs integrated solutions includes the costs it incurs in designing systems and purchasing and installing equipment and the costs incurred in procuring electricity from the market operators on a wholesale basis.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. PAETECs selling, general and administrative expenses include selling and marketing, customer service, billing, corporate administration, engineering personnel and other personnel costs.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization include depreciation of PAETECs telecommunications network and equipment, computer hardware and purchased software, office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and buildings, as well as amortization of intangible assets.
Acquisition, Integration and Separation Costs. Acquisition, integration and separation costs include external costs directly related to PAETECs acquisition activities, such as advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees. In addition, such costs include employee severance and benefit costs associated with PAETECs acquisition activities.
Debt Extinguishment and Related Costs. PAETECs debt extinguishment and related costs include expenses related to the repayment of outstanding term loans under PAETECs senior secured credit facilities and costs incurred related to PAETECs former interest rate swap agreement.
Interest Expense. Interest expense includes interest due on PAETECs long-term debt and capital leases, amortization of debt issuance costs, debt premiums, and debt discounts.
Other Income, Net. Other income, net includes investment income and other financing income.

Table of Contents
Accounting for Income Taxes. PAETEC recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of transactions and events. Under this method, PAETEC determines deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which it expects the differences to reverse. If necessary, PAETEC reduces deferred income tax assets by a valuation allowance to an amount that it determines is more likely than not to be recoverable.
Stock-Based Compensation
PAETECs employees participate in a variety of equity incentive plans. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 718, CompensationStock Compensation. PAETEC recognizes these compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, ratably over the requisite service period of the award.

The comparison of PAETECs operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which we refer to as our 2011 quarter, to PAETECs operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which we refer to as our 2010 quarter, is materially affected by PAETECs acquisition by merger of Cavalier Telephone Corporation, or Cavalier, on December 6, 2010. Cavaliers operating results are included in PAETECs operating results beginning on December 6, 2010. Because of the significance of this transaction, PAETECs operating results for the 2011 quarter and the 2010 quarter are not directly comparable. PAETECs operating results for the 2011 and 2010 quarters were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared With Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Revenue. Total revenue increased $105.5 million, or 27.0%, to $495.5 million for the 2011 quarter from $390.1 million for the 2010 quarter primarily from the inclusion of operating results from Cavalier and other recently acquired businesses for the full 2011 quarter. Of total revenue for the 2011 quarter, revenue from network services, carrier services and integrated solutions accounted for 76.1%, 16.6% and 7.3%, respectively, compared to 79.6%, 16.2% and 4.2%, respectively, for the 2010 quarter.
Revenue from network services increased $66.6 million, or 21.4%, to $377.0 million for the 2011 quarter from $310.5 million for the 2010 quarter. Of total network services revenue for the 2011 quarter, revenue from core network services, access fee and reciprocal compensation revenue related to network services, and non-core POTS revenue related to network services accounted for 89.3%, 4.0% and 6.7%, respectively, compared to 91.2%, 5.7% and 3.1%, respectively, for the 2010 quarter.
Revenue from core network services increased $53.7 million, or 19.0%, to $336.8 million for the 2011 quarter from $283.1 million for the 2010 quarter. For the 2011 quarter, revenue from monthly recurring fees and usage-based fees accounted for 80.2% and 19.9%, respectively, of revenue from core network services, compared to 77.6% and 21.8%, respectively, of such revenue for the 2010 quarter. The increase in core network services revenue primarily resulted from the inclusion of Cavaliers operating results for the full 2011 quarter.
Access fee revenue and reciprocal compensation included in network services revenue decreased $2.9 million, or 16.2%, to $14.9 million for the 2011 quarter from $17.8 million for the 2010 quarter. Of total access fee revenue and reciprocal compensation included in network services for the 2011 quarter, revenue from access fees accounted for 92.1% compared to 91.8% for the 2010 quarter.
Non-core POTS revenue included in network services revenue increased $15.8 million, or 165%, to $25.3 million for the 2011 quarter from $9.5 million for the 2010 quarter. The increase in non-core POTS revenue primarily resulted from the inclusion of Cavaliers operating results for the full 2011 quarter, the effect of which was partially offset by customer attrition during the quarter.
Revenue from carrier services increased $19.2 million, or 30.4%, to $82.2 million for the 2011 quarter from $63.0 million for the 2010 quarter. Of total carrier services revenue for the 2011 quarter, revenue from core carrier services, access fee and reciprocal compensation revenue related to carrier services, and non-core POTS revenue related to carrier services accounted for 72.0%, 24.5% and 3.5%, respectively, compared to 70.8%, 23.4% and 5.8%, respectively, for the 2010 quarter.
Revenue from core carrier services increased $14.6 million, or 32.6%, to $59.2 million for the 2011 quarter from $44.7 million for the 2010 quarter. The increase in core carrier services revenue primarily resulted from the inclusion of Cavaliers operating results for the full 2011 quarter. For the 2011 quarter, revenue from monthly recurring fees and usage-based fees accounted for 67.6% and 20.0%, respectively, of revenue from core carrier services, compared to 59.9% and 27.1%, respectively, of such revenue for the 2010 quarter.
Access fee revenue and reciprocal compensation included in carrier services revenue increased $5.4 million, or 36.4%, to $20.1 million for the 2011 quarter from $14.7 million for the 2010 quarter. Of total access fee revenue and reciprocal compensation included in carrier services revenue for the 2011 quarter, revenue from access fees accounted for 88.8% compared to 83.0% for the 2010 quarter.
Non-core POTS revenue included in carrier services revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 21.3%, to $2.9 million for the 2011 quarter from $3.6 million for the 2010 quarter. The decrease in non-core POTS revenue primarily resulted from customer attrition.

Table of Contents
Revenue from integrated solutions services increased $19.8 million, or 119.4%, to $36.3 million for the 2011 quarter from $16.5 million for the 2010 quarter. The increase in integrated solution services revenue primarily resulted from growth in both equipment sales and energy supply services due to the inclusion of operating results from U.S. Energy Partners LLC and Quagga Corporation for the full 2011 quarter.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $233.9 million for the 2011 quarter from $192.7 million for the 2010 quarter, in part because of increased costs associated with the acquisition of Cavalier, increased costs associated with equipment sales due to the June 2010 acquisition of Quagga Corporation, and costs incurred to procure electricity from market operators on a wholesale basis.
Leased transport charges increased to $177.2 million, or 75.8% of cost of sales, for the 2011 quarter from $153.0 million, or 79.3% of cost of sales, for the 2010 quarter.
Usage costs for local and long distance calls increased to $33.4 million, or 14.3% of cost of sales, for the 2011 quarter from $29.5 million, or 15.3% of cost of sales, for the 2010 quarter.
Cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 47.2% for the 2011 quarter from 49.4% for the 2010 quarter. The improvement was driven by a broad array of operational enhancements, including the contribution of higher margin Cavalier revenues, improved local network cost resulting from earlier initiatives to transition special access circuits to unbundled network elements, and an increase in integrated equipment and network sales driven by our IP Simple Product, which leverages PAETECs proprietary Allworx platform.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $172.7 million for the 2011 quarter from $134.3 million for the 2010 quarter primarily due to costs associated with higher staffing levels in PAETECs sales force and additional growth in headcount from acquisitions completed during 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 34.9% for the 2011 quarter from 34.4 % for the 2010 quarter.
Acquisition, Integration and Separation Costs. During the 2011 quarter, PAETEC recognized approximately $2.5 million of acquisition, integration and separation costs. These costs were primarily related to employee separations.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $63.3 million for the 2011 quarter from $47.2 million for the 2010 quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of Cavaliers operating results for the full 2011 quarter and PAETECs network deployment and maintenance activities.
Debt Extinguishment and Related Costs. During the 2010 quarter, PAETEC recognized a total of $4.4 million of debt extinguishment and related costs, which represented the elimination of $3.6 million of debt issuance costs and unamortized debt discount associated with the repayment of $240.2 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans and $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of revolving loans outstanding under its senior secured credit facilities with the proceeds from the January 2010 issuance of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 8 7/8% senior secured notes due 2017 and $0.8 million of costs related to the termination of its interest rate swap agreement.
Interest Expense. PAETECs average outstanding debt balances increased to $1,470.2 million for the 2011 quarter from $946.0 million for the 2010 quarter, as a result of the December 2010 issuance of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 9 7/8% senior notes due 2018. Interest expense increased to $34.5 million for the 2011 quarter from $22.0 million for the 2010 quarter due primarily to an increase in the average outstanding debt balances and an increase in the average annual borrowing rate. The weighted average annual borrowing rate, including the amortization of the debt discount and the debt premium but excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs, for the 2011 quarter was 9.4%, compared to 9.1% for the 2010 quarter.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the 2011 quarter was $0.7 million. The difference between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the 2011 quarter was primarily attributable to the existence of a valuation allowance on PAETECs net deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
PAETEC finances its operations and growth primarily with cash flow from operations, issuances of debt securities and other loans, operating leases and normal trade credit terms.

Sources and Uses of Cash. PAETECs cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities |
$ | 60,685 | $ | 7,828 | ||||

$ | (49,331 | ) | $ | (34,997 | ) | ||
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities |
$ | (3,034 | ) | $ | 18,561 |
The $52.9 million increase in cash flows from operating activities for the 2011 quarter over the 2010 quarter was primarily attributable to a $11.6 million increase in net loss adjusted for non-cash items and a $41.2 million increase in working capital.
PAETECs investing activities during the 2011 and 2010 quarters consisted primarily of activities related to the purchase of property and equipment. Investing activities during the 2010 quarter also included the acquisition of U.S. Energy Partners LLC.
Net cash used in financing activities of $3.0 million for the 2011 quarter was primarily related to repayments of long-term debt. Net cash provided by financing activities of $18.6 million for the 2010 quarter was primarily related to the January 2010 issuance and sale of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of PAETEC Holdings 8 7/8% senior secured notes due 2017, partially offset by the payment of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with such sale. PAETEC applied a portion of the proceeds from the January 2010 sale of the 8 7/8% senior secured notes to repay $240.2 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans and $30.0 million in aggregate principal of revolving loans outstanding under its senior secured credit facilities.
Contractual Obligations. PAETEC has various contractual obligations and commercial commitments. PAETEC does not have off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than its letters of credit and operating leases. There were no material changes in PAETECs contractual obligations as set forth in PAETECs Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2010 fiscal year.
Indebtedness. At March 31, 2011, PAETEC had approximately $1,447.1 million of total indebtedness, net of an unamortized discount of $22.5 million. The overall weighted average annual interest rate, including the amortization of the debt discount and debt premium but excluding deferred financing costs, was 9.4%. Of this total indebtedness, an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million was outstanding under PAETEC Holdings 9.5% senior notes due 2015, an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million was outstanding under PAETEC Holdings 8 7/8% senior secured notes due 2017, an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million was outstanding under PAETEC Holdings 9 7/8% senior notes due 2018, an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million was outstanding under the companys revolving credit facility, and an aggregate of $44.6 million consisted of capital leases and other indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2011, PAETECs senior secured credit facilities available pursuant to its credit agreement consisted of the following:
| a term loan credit facility under which no term loans were outstanding and under which PAETEC could obtain incremental term loans, subject to conditions, in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $65.0 million under one or more incremental facilities; and |
| a revolving credit facility under which PAETEC could obtain from time to time revolving loans of up to an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million outstanding at any time, of which $25.0 million principal amount of revolving loans were outstanding. |
Under the terms of the total leverage ratio covenant contained in PAETECs credit agreement for its senior credit facilities, PAETECs ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as defined for purposes of the credit agreement) as of any measurement date will not be permitted to be greater than 5.00:1.00. PAETEC was in compliance with this financial covenant as of March 31, 2011.
On April 12, 2011, PAETEC announced that it will seek $225 million principal amount of new senior secured credit facilities to replace its existing credit facilities. The new credit facilities will consist of a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125 million and a seven-year senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The proceeds from borrowings under the new credit facilities will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the $25 million principal amount of borrowings outstanding under PAETECs existing senior secured revolving credit facility and to complete the recently announced acquisition of XETA Technologies, Inc., the closing of which is subject to customary closing conditions. PAETECs ability to obtain the new credit facilities on terms that are acceptable to it will be subject to market conditions and customary closing conditions.

See Note 5 to PAETECs condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report for additional information regarding the companys indebtedness.
Capital and Cash Requirements. PAETEC expects that it will continue to require significant capital expenditures to maintain and enhance its network and services and to generate planned revenue growth. PAETEC made capital expenditures, principally for the purchase of communications equipment, of approximately $46.8 million in the 2011 quarter. PAETEC expects to fund all of its 2011 capital expenditures from cash on hand and cash flow from operations. PAETEC plans to make such capital expenditures primarily for the following purposes:
| to continue to acquire and install equipment to enhance and maintain its network; |
| to increase penetration of its existing markets; |
| to expand its operations into additional geographic markets; and |
| to make infrastructure enhancements, principally for its back office systems. |
The actual amount and timing of PAETECs capital requirements may differ materially from its estimates as a result of regulatory, technological and competitive developments in the companys industry. As of March 31, 2011, PAETEC had entered into agreements with vendors to purchase approximately $169.6 million of equipment and services, of which the Company expects $136.7 million to be delivered and payable in the year ending December 31, 2011, $15.1 million to be delivered and payable in the year ending December 31, 2012, $15.1 million to be delivered and payable in the year ending December 31, 2013, and the remaining $2.7 million to be delivered and payable in the year ending December 31, 2014.
PAETEC may seek to purchase from time to time some of its outstanding senior notes and/or some of its outstanding senior secured notes for cash in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions and the discount, if any, at which the notes may be purchased, PAETECs liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such purchases may be material.
PAETEC believes that cash on hand and cash flow from operations, and amounts expected to be available under its revolving credit facility will provide sufficient cash to enable the company to fund its planned capital expenditures, make scheduled principal and interest payments on its debt, meet its other cash requirements, and maintain compliance with the terms of its financing agreements for at least the next 12 months. After the foregoing period, PAETEC may require additional capital for network enhancements to provide increased capacity to meet expected increased demand for its services. The amount and timing of these additional network enhancements, if any, will depend on the anticipated demand for services, the availability of funds and other factors. The actual amount and timing of PAETECs future capital requirements may differ materially from the companys estimates depending on the demand for its services and new market developments and opportunities, and on other factors, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its 2010 fiscal year. If PAETECs plans or assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, the foregoing sources of funds may prove to be insufficient. In addition, if PAETEC seeks to acquire other businesses or to accelerate the expansion of its business, it may be required to seek material amounts of additional capital. Additional sources may include equity and debt financing and other financing arrangements, such as vendor financing. Further, if PAETEC believes it can obtain additional debt financing on advantageous terms, PAETEC may seek such financing at any time, to the extent that market conditions and other factors permit it to do so. The debt financing PAETEC may seek could be in the form of additional term loans under its existing or new senior secured credit facilities or additional debt securities having substantially the same terms as, or different terms from, PAETECs outstanding senior notes and senior secured notes. Any inability of PAETEC to generate the sufficient funds that it may require or to obtain such funds under reasonable terms could limit its ability to increase its revenue or to operate profitably. PAETECs ability to raise any required funds is subject to restrictions imposed by covenants contained in its existing debt agreements and could be negatively affected by a continuation of adverse conditions in the credit and capital markets.
Critical Accounting Policies
PAETECs condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires PAETEC to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of PAETECs accounting policies. PAETECs significant accounting policies are described in the note captioned Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in PAETECs Form 10-K for its 2010 fiscal year, and a discussion of PAETECs critical accounting estimates is provided in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in that report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). This
ASU provides amendments to the criteria in ASC 605-25 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.
It establishes a hierarchy of selling prices to determine the selling price of each specific deliverable, which includes vendor-specific objective evidence (if available), third-party evidence (if vendor-specific evidence is not available), or estimated selling price if neither of the first two is available. This ASU also eliminates the residual method for allocating revenue between the elements of an arrangement and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement. Finally, this ASU expands the disclosure requirements regarding a vendors multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The adoption of this accounting standard on January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on PAETECs financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements. This ASU amends accounting and reporting guidance under ASC 605-985 to exclude from its scope all tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality. The adoption of this accounting standard on January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on PAETECs financial statements.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
PAETEC is exposed to market risks in the normal course of business. PAETEC manages the sensitivity of its results of operations to these risks by maintaining an investment portfolio consisting primarily of short-term, interest-bearing securities and by entering into long-term debt obligations with appropriate pricing and terms. PAETEC does not hold or issue derivative, derivative commodity or other financial instruments for trading purposes. PAETEC does not have any material foreign currency exposure. PAETECs major market risk exposure is to changing interest rates associated with borrowings the company uses to fund the expansion of its business and to support its acquisition activities. The interest rates that PAETEC is able to obtain on this debt financing depend on market conditions. PAETECs policy is to manage interest rates through a combination of fixed-rate debt and, from time to time, the use of interest rate swap contracts to manage the companys exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2011, the $25.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under PAETECs revolving credit facility accrued interest at floating rates. A change of one percentage point in the interest rates applicable to the balance of PAETECs variable rate debt would result in a fluctuation of approximately $0.3 million in the companys annual interest expense.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
