NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, we have adopted accounting guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of software revenue recognition guidance. This adoption has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of March 31, 2011, we have also adopted accounting guidance for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. This adoption has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

	•		Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
	•		Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or 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 (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and
	•		Level 3 — Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The fair value of cash equivalents was $70.9 million and $72.2 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These financial instruments are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

We currently sponsor one active stock compensation plan. Our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2006 Plan”) was adopted by our Board of Directors in March 2006 and was approved by our shareholders in May 2006. The 2006 Plan originally authorized up to 1,300,000 shares under the Plan, and was amended during 2009 to increase the shares authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan to 2,800,000 shares, provided however, that, the maximum number of restricted shares of that total shall be 300,000. This amendment was adopted by our Board of Directors in May 2009 and approved by our shareholders in August 2009. Awards in the form of stock options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or performance units may be granted to directors, officers and other employees under the 2006 Plan.

Options granted under our equity compensation plans prior to 2007 generally vested over a two-year period with one-third vesting upon grant. Beginning in 2007, options were granted which generally vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting at the end of each year during such period. Options granted under our equity compensation plans expire ten years from the date of the grant. The grant price on any such shares or options is equal to the quoted fair market value of our shares at the date of the grant, as defined in the 2006 Plan. Restricted shares and stock appreciation rights will vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement and the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan requires that non-performance-based restricted stock grants to employees vest in no less than three years, while performance-based restricted stock grants may vest after one year. Grants of restricted stock to directors may vest after one year.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We recognized total stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

The unamortized stock-based compensation expense from operations related to stock options and restricted stock totaled $1.5 million at March 31, 2011.

Transactions involving stock options under the Company’s various plans and otherwise are summarized below:

		Number of				Range of Option				Weighted Average
		Shares				Prices				Exercise Price
Outstanding, December 31, 2010			1,312,992			$	3.27 - $32.90			$	8.03
Exercised			(196,772	)		$	5.17 - $9.49			$	7.09
Cancelled/Forfeited/Expired			(16,650	)		$	8.49 - $32.28			$	18.42
Outstanding, March 31, 2011			1,099,570			$	3.27 - $32.90			$	8.04

4. SEVERANCE

During the first quarter of 2011, we recorded a severance charge of $0.2 million in operating expenses associated with the second quarter departure of our former Vice President of Research and Development. All cash payments related to this action are expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2011 and no further expense is anticipated.

During the first quarter of 2010, we accelerated our efforts to reduce our operating expenses in order to help position us to achieve stronger profitability levels in the future. As such, we eliminated approximately 48 positions across all functional levels of the organization in an effort to reduce our overall cost structure. The total severance charge associated with these actions was approximately

$1.7 million of which approximately $.5 million was recorded as cost of sales expense and $1.2 million was recorded as an operating expense. All cash payments related to this action have been made and there are no further expenses related to these actions.

Impairments

Long-Lived Assets

We perform impairment reviews of our long-lived assets upon a change in business conditions or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. No impairments have been triggered for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.

6. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

		March 31, 2011				December 31, 2010

Settlements during the period			(79	)			(533	)
Balance at the end of the period		$	189			$	222

8. PER SHARE INFORMATION

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under our share-based compensation plans and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money shares, which is calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that we have not yet recognized, and the amount of estimated tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital, if any, when the share is exercised are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. When we are in a loss position, we do not include any stock options outstanding with an exercise price below the average market price, as their effect would be considered anti-dilutive. The three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 do not include the effect of dilutive securities because inclusion would be anti-dilutive to the earnings per share calculation. As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, 166,353 and 1,510,678 equivalent shares, respectively, were anti-dilutive.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As we have previously disclosed, on February 22, 2011, we announced that we had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated February 21, 2011 with Talon Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Talon Merger Sub Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. Parent is owned by investment funds managed by Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc. Subsequent to our announcement of the Merger Agreement, four class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, the Company’s directors, and in some cases, Parent, Merger Sub and Golden Gate Capital in connection with the proposed Merger. On April 1, 2011, we filed a definitive proxy statement describing the proposed merger. On April 27, 2011, we reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs providing for the settlement and dismissal of their lawsuits. Pursuant to that agreement, we agreed to make certain supplemental disclosures regarding the proposed merger, and filed a supplement to our definitive proxy statement on April 27, 2011. Although a final settlement amount has yet to be reached, we have accrued $0.4 million as our estimate of what we believe the anticipated outcome may be.

On May 5, 2011, we held a special meeting of shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement. At the meeting, our shareholders voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Represented at the meeting were

9,373,671 shares or 71.6% of the 13.092,152 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Voting in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement were 9,094,896 shares, representing 97.0% of the shares that voted, and 69.5% of total shares outstanding and entitled to vote. We anticipate the Merger closing on May 10, 2011 with our subsequent delisting from the NASDAQ exchange.

Our products enable service providers to remotely diagnose and proactively address problems within their networks. By coupling our hardware and software offerings together, we provide proactive centralized test systems for our customers. Our service and managed service business includes software maintenance and support for our operating systems, along with hardware maintenance for our test probes, and our professional services, which are designed to ensure that all of the components of our customers test systems operate properly. In addition, since 2007, we have been developing a sensor and a software operating platform for the utility industry that leverages our core competency and years of experience in scaling test systems in large telecommunications networks and applying that similar business model to the utility marketplace.

As we have previously disclosed, on February 22, 2011, we announced that we had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated February 21, 2011 with Talon Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Talon Merger Sub Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. Parent is owned by investment funds managed by Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc. Subsequent to our announcement of the Merger Agreement, four class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, the Company’s directors, and

in some cases, Parent, Merger Sub and Golden Gate Capital in connection with the proposed Merger. On April 1, 2011, we filed a definitive proxy statement describing the proposed merger. On April 27, 2011, we reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs providing for the settlement and dismissal of their lawsuits. Pursuant to that agreement, we agreed to make certain supplemental disclosures regarding the proposed merger, and filed a supplement to our definitive proxy statement on April 27, 2011. Although a final settlement amount has yet to be reached, we have accrued $0.4 million as our estimate of what we believe the anticipated outcome may be.

On May 5, 2011, we held a special meeting of shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement. At the meeting, our shareholders voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Represented at the meeting were 9,373,671 shares or 71.6% of the 13.092,152 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Voting in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement were 9,094,896 shares, representing 97.0% of the shares that voted, and 69.5% of total shares outstanding and entitled to vote. We anticipate the Merger closing on May 10, 2011 with our subsequent delisting from the NASDAQ exchange.

As a result of the Merger, our first quarter 2011 results were negatively impacted by certain costs that we either paid or accrued in the first quarter of 2011 in conjunction with the merger. These costs included the payment of $0.5 million to Piper Jaffray & Co, our financial advisors in the transaction, for their fairness opinion. The payment to our attorneys of $0.3 million and accrued legal expenses of $0.3 million for their services in preparing the Merger Agreement, the definitive proxy statement and subsequent defense of the lawsuits mentioned above. In addition, we also accrued $0.4 million related to the proposed settlement of the lawsuits. Lastly, our first quarter 2011 results were negatively impacted by the accrued severance expense in the amount of $0.2 million related to our former Vice-President of Research and Development.

Our Customers

Our customers include the top telecom providers and numerous independent telecom and broadband providers around the world. Our primary customers for our telecommunications products and services are large domestic and European telecommunications service providers. We track our telecommunication sales by two large customer groups, the first of which includes AT&T, Verizon and Qwest (referred to herein as large domestic carriers), and the second of which includes certain large international telephone service providers in Europe, namely British Telecom, Royal KPN N.V., Belgacom S.A., Deutsche Telecom AG (T-Com) and Telefónica O2 Czech Republic, a.s. (collectively referred to herein as the “European Telcos”). For the first quarter of 2011, sales to the large domestic customers accounted for approximately 26% of our total revenue compared to approximately 34% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2010. Sales in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010 to the European Telcos accounted for approximately 21% and 18% respectively, of total revenue.

Backlog

Our order backlog for firm customer purchase orders, software maintenance contracts and managed services contracts was $19.1 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The backlog at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included approximately $12.1 million and $13.4 million, respectively, related to software maintenance contracts. For the remainder of 2011, we expect to recognize $14.7 million of the March 31, 2011 backlog of $19.1 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010

Revenues

		March 31, 2011				March 31, 2010				Change				%
System Test Products		$	1,630			$	2,430			$	(800	)			-33	%
MCU			1,142				1,776			$	(634	)			-36	%
Other			58				16			$	42				263	%
Total Products			2,830				4,222			$	(1,392	)			-33	%
Managed Services			1,697				1,748			$	(51	)			-3	%
Other Services			4,869				5,197			$	(328	)			-6	%
Total Services			6,566				6,945			$	(379	)			-5	%
Total Revenue		$	9,396			$	11,167			$	(1,771	)			-16	%

Our total revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $9.4 million compared to total revenues of $11.2 million for the first quarter of 2010.

Our product revenue consists primarily of sales of our System Test Products as well as sales of our traditional MCU product line. Product revenues were approximately $2.8 million or 30% of our total first quarter 2011 revenues compared to $4.2 million or 38% of our total first quarter revenue for 2010. Overall, our first quarter 2011 product revenues decreased by approximately $1.4 million or 33% compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in our total product sales is primarily attributable to a $0.6 million decline in each of our MCU and DMU product lines as a result of lower demand from two of our large domestic customers. Although we expect continued sales in the foreseeable future, these are mature product lines with sales that do fluctuate based on an unpredictable demand, but we believe sales for these product lines will continue to decline over time.

Services revenue was approximately $6.6 million or 70% of total first quarter 2011 revenues compared to $6.9 million or 62% of the total first quarter revenue for 2010. Our services revenue consists of software maintenance for our 4TEL and Celerity LTSC and LoopCare products, project management fees, repair work and managed services. Overall, our first quarter 2011 service revenue decreased by approximately $0.3 million or 5% compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower first quarter 2011 revenues associated with our 4TEL/Celerity software maintenance with a large international customer as compared to the first quarter 2010.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the first quarter of 2011 was $5.8 million compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.7 million. However, as a percentage of sales, our gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2011 was 62% versus 58% for the first quarter of 2010. This 4% increase in our gross profit margin percentage is primarily attributable to a reduced headcount in 2011 as compared to the same 2010 period and an increase in the percentage of revenue comprised of service revenues which typically carry higher gross margins as compared to product revenues.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

		March 31, 2011				March 31, 2010				Change				%
Employee Costs		$	960			$	1,502			$	(542	)			-36	%
Travel Expenses			167				207				(40	)			-19	%
Consulting			150				137				13				9	%
Other			113				217				(104	)			-48	%
Total		$	1,390			$	2,063			$	(673	)			-33	%

Our total selling and marketing expenses was $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.7 million or 33%. Our total selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee costs, which include salaries and related payroll taxes, benefits and commission expenses as well as related travel expenses, consulting expenses and other expenses which are individually immaterial. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower employee costs in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of our 2010 workforce reductions. Travel and consulting expenses fluctuated very little quarter over quarter, while other expense items resulted in a net decrease quarter over quarter, none of which are individually material. As a percentage of revenues, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 15% in the first quarter of 2011 from 18% in the first quarter of 2010.

General and Administrative Expenses

		March 31, 2011				March 31, 2010				Change				%
Employee Costs		$	821			$	913			$	(92	)			-10	%
Stock Compensation			81				415				(334	)			-80	%
Bad Debt Expense			75				0				75				100	%
Legal & Professional Fees			1,890				260				1,630				627	%
Other			642				630				12				2	%
Total		$	3,509			$	2,218			$	1,291				58	%

Our general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $3.5 million compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of $1.3 million or 58%. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee costs, which include salaries payroll taxes and related employee benefit costs, stock compensation expenses, travel expenses, legal and professional fees, and other various expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter 2011 primarily as a result of higher legal and professional fees of approximately $1.6 million primarily as a result of our pending merger. Included in these merger related costs are $0.5 million related to the fairness opinion provided by Piper Jaffray and Co., $0.6 million in paid and accrued legal costs to prepare the merger agreement, proxy statement and the defense of ligation for the lawsuits that were filed subsequent to the merger announcement as well as $0.4 million of accrued expenses associated with settlements of the lawsuits.

The increase in our legal and professional fees is partially offset by lower payroll and payroll related costs in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of our 2010 workforce reductions. The decrease in stock compensation expenses is due primarily to a restricted stock grant of 50,000 common shares to our Chairman of the Board in the first quarter of 2010 that did not transpire in the first quarter of 2011. Various other expense items resulted in a slight increase quarter over quarter, primarily as a result of additional travel expenses related to the proposed merger agreement and overseas contract negotiations. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 37% in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 20% in the first quarter of 2010.

Research and Development Expenses

		March 31, 2011				March 31, 2010				Change				%
Employee Costs		$	1,416			$	1,889			$	(473	)			-25	%
Professional Fees			142				336				(194	)			-58	%
Other			216				135				81				60	%
Total		$	1,774			$	2,360			$	(586	)			-25	%

Our research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $1.8 million compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.6 million or 25%. Our research and development expense consist primarily of employees costs, which include salaries, payroll taxes and related employee benefit costs, professional fees, and other expenses. In addition, because some of our contractual agreements require us to provide engineering development or repair services to our customers, a portion of our engineering costs are allocated to cost of sales. Our employee related costs have declined by approximately $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of our 2010 workforce reductions. Professional fees have decreased by $0.2 million due to overall cost reduction efforts. Various other expense items resulted in a slight increase of $0.1 million quarter over quarter, none of which are individually material. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expense for the first quarter of 2011 was 19% as compared to 21% for the first quarter of 2010.

Severance Expenses

In the first quarter of 2011, we recorded approximately $0.2 million of severance related to the termination of our former Vice President of Research and Development. During the first quarter of 2010, we accelerated our efforts to reduce our operating expenses in order to help position ourselves to achieve stronger profitability. As such we eliminated 48 positions across all functional levels of the organization in an effort to reduce our overall cost structure. The total severance charge associated with these actions was approximately $1.7 million of which $0.5 million was recorded as part of cost of sales and $1.2 million was recorded as an operating expense.

Other (Expense)/Income

Other income for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.1 million compared to $0.4 million of expense for the first quarter of 2010. This change of $0.5 million is due primarily to temporary foreign currency translation adjustments of our foreign entities.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in tax expense in the first quarter of 2011 is primarily due to higher taxable earnings in the foreign operating jurisdictions as compared to the first quarter 2010.

We continue to record a valuation allowance against U.S. federal, state and certain foreign net operating losses from continuing operations incurred in the first quarter of 2011 as the tax benefit generated from those losses was deemed to be likely unrealizable in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically met our working capital and capital spending requirements, including the funding for expansion of operations, product developments and acquisitions, through net cash flows provided by operating activities. Our principle source of liquidity is our operating cash flows and cash on our balance sheet. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are unrestricted and available for corporate purposes, including acquisitions, research and development and other general working capital requirements. In addition, there are

no material restrictions on our ability to transfer and remit funds among our international affiliated companies. Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased to $70.9 million at March 31, 2011 from $72.2 million at December 31, 2010. The $1.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short term investments from December 31, 2010 is largely attributable to cash payments of $0.8 million related to legal and professional fees associated with the proposed merger, $0.6 million related to final payments pursuant to our 2010 incentive plan, $1.1 million related to capital expenditures for our new Cranberry, Pennsylvania headquarters, and an increase in trade accounts receivables of $0.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.4 million. We believe we have sufficient cash balances to meet our cash flow requirements and growth objectives over the next twelve months.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.7 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to $0.5 million of additional net income over the prior period as well as other working capital fluctuations.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was primarily related to capital expenditures for our new Cranberry, Pennsylvania headquarters location. Net cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily related to capital expenditures in support of operations.

Net cash received in financing activities was approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as the result of the exercise of approximately 197,000 shares of our common stock. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of purchasing 10,600 shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We lease office space and equipment under agreements which are accounted for as operating leases. The lease for our new Cranberry, Pennsylvania headquarters facility commenced on February, 28, 2011 and expires on March 1, 2018. Our lease on our former Cheswick facility expired on March 31, 2011. The lease for our Piscataway, New Jersey location expires on April 30, 2012. We also have office leases in Bracknell, United Kingdom and Wuppertal, Germany, which expire on December 24, 2012 and January 31, 2012, respectively. We are also involved in various month-to-month leases for research and development and office equipment at all locations.

Minimum annual future commitments due by period as of March 31, 2011 are (in thousands):

																		More
						Less than 1								3-5				than 5
		Total				year				1-3 years				years				years
Operating Lease Obligations		$	3,658			$	831			$	1,199			$	814			$	814
Severance Obligation			273				273
Uncertain Tax Obligations			904								904
Pension Obligations			863																863
Total		$	5,698			$	1,104			$	2,103			$	814			$	1,677

The lease expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 was $0.2 million for the respective periods.

In addition, we are, from time to time, party to various legal claims and disputes, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the final resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, or annual results of operations or cash flow.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment based on various assumptions and other factors such as historical experience, economic conditions, and in some cases, actuarial techniques. Actual results may differ from those estimates. A discussion of market risks affecting us can be found in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of March 31, 2011, we have adopted accounting guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of software revenue recognition guidance. This adoption has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of March 31, 2011, we have also adopted accounting guidance for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. This adoption has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

A summary of our significant accounting policies and application of these policies are included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in MD&A included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition. There were no changes to our critical accounting policies during the first quarter of 2011.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our current investment policy limits our investments in financial instruments to cash and cash equivalents, individual municipal bonds and corporate and government bonds. The use of financial derivatives and preferred and common stocks is strictly prohibited. We believe that our risk is minimized through proper diversification along with the requirements that the securities must be of investment grade with an average rating of “A” or better by Standard & Poor’s. We hold our investment securities to maturity and believe that earnings and cash flows are not materially affected by changes in interest rates, due to the nature and short-term investment horizon for which these securities are invested.

In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency translation fluctuations with our international operations. We do not have any foreign exchange derivative contracts to hedge against foreign currency exposures. Therefore, we are exposed to the related effects when the foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate. If the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Euro and/or the British pound sterling and or the Czech Republic’s Koruna, the translation rate for these foreign currencies will decrease, which will have a negative impact on our operating income. Foreign currency translation fluctuations have no impact on cash flows as long as we continue to reinvest any profits back into the respective foreign operations.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As we have previously disclosed, on February 22, 2011, we announced that we had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated February 21, 2011 with Talon Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Talon Merger Sub Inc., a Pennsylvania Corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. Parent is owned by investment funds managed by Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc. Subsequent to the merger announcement, four class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, the Company’s directors, and in some cases, Parent, Merger Sub and Golden Gate Capital in connection with the proposed Merger.

	•		Steven Tencza vs. Edward H. Kennedy, et al. (Case No. GD-11-003755 (Derivative) and Case No. GD-11-006284 (Class Action)) and Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust vs. Edward H. Kennedy, et al. (Case No. GD-11-003908 (Derivative) and Case No. GD-11-006285 (Class Action)), which were filed on February 24, 2011 and on March 1, 2011, respectively, in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania;
	•		Equity Benefit Partners vs. Edward H. Kennedy, et al. (Case No. 11-10364), filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Butler County, Pennsylvania on March 18, 2011; and
	•		Margaret W. Crouthamel vs. Edward H. Kennedy, et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 2:11-cv-00403-RCM) on March 28, 2011.

On April 1, 2011, we filed a definitive proxy statement describing the proposed merger. On April 5, 2011, the Tencza and Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust cases were consolidated at In re Tollgrade Communications, Inc. Derivative and Class Action Litigation, Consolidated Case No. GD-11-003755. On April 19, 2011, the Vladimir Gusinsky Revocable Trust case was severed and voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff with the court’s approval. On April 27, 2011, we and the plaintiffs in Tencza and Equity Benefit Partners reached an agreement in principle providing for the settlement and dismissal of their lawsuits. Pursuant to that agreement, we agreed to make certain supplemental disclosures regarding the proposed merger and filed a supplement (the “supplement”) to our definitive proxy statement on April 27, 2011.

Although a final settlement amount has yet to be reached, we have accrued $0.4 million as our estimate of what we believe the anticipated outcome may be.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, we wish to caution each reader of this Form 10-Q to carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (our “2010 Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There are no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2010 Form 10-K.
