CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In this document, Cbeyond, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to as we, our, us, the Company or Cbeyond.
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements identified by words such as expectation, guidance, believe, expect anticipate, estimate, intend, plan, target, project, and similar expressions. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following: the significant reduction in economic activity, which particularly affects our target market of small businesses; the risk that we may be unable to continue to experience revenue growth at historical or anticipated levels; the risk of unexpected increase in customer churn levels; changes in federal or state regulation or decisions by regulatory bodies that affect us; periods of economic downturn or unusual volatility in the capital markets or other negative macroeconomic conditions that could harm our business, including our access to capital markets and the impact on certain of our customers to meet their payment obligations; the timing of the initiation, progress or cancellation of significant contracts or arrangements; the mix and timing of services sold in a particular period; our ability to recruit and retain experienced management and personnel; rapid technological change and the timing and amount of startup costs incurred in connection with the introduction of new services or the entrance into new markets; our ability to maintain or attract sufficient customers in existing or new markets; our ability to respond to increasing competition; our ability to manage the growth of our operations; changes in estimates of taxable income or utilization of deferred tax assets which could significantly affect our effective tax rate; pending regulatory action relating to our compliance with customer proprietary network information; the risk that the anticipated benefits, growth prospects and synergies expected from our acquisitions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility that economic benefits of future opportunities in an emerging industry may never materialize, including unexpected variations in market growth and demand for the acquired products and technologies; delays, disruptions, costs and challenges associated with integrating acquired companies into our existing business, including changing relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; unfamiliarity with the economic characteristics of new geographic markets; ongoing personnel and logistical challenges of managing a larger organization; our ability to retain and motivate key employees from the acquired companies; external events outside of our control, including extreme weather, natural disasters, pandemics or terrorist attacks that could adversely affect our target markets; and general economic and business conditions. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and any updates that may occur in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and this report in the sections titled Part I, Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note 1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cbeyond, Inc., a managed information technology, or IT, and communications service provider, incorporated on March 28, 2000 in Delaware. As of June 30, 2011, we provide Core Managed Services to small businesses located in 14 metropolitan markets (see Item 2, and Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) whereby we deliver integrated packages of managed IT and communications services, including broadband circuits as part of our service (our BeyondVoice package). In addition, we offer Cloud Services that are delivered separately from broadband circuits such as virtual and dedicated cloud servers, and cloud private branch exchange, throughout the United States and internationally.
Unaudited Interim Results
The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the condensed consolidated financial statements) and information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved for issuance Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2009-13, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (currently within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25). This update provides principles for allocating sales consideration among multiple-element revenue arrangements with an entitys customers, allowing more flexibility in identifying and accounting for separate deliverables under an arrangement. The update introduces an estimated selling price method for valuing the elements of a bundled arrangement if vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available and significantly expands related disclosure requirements. We adopted ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011 on a prospective basis, and the adoption did not have any effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Earnings per Share
Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Share
We calculate basic (loss) income per share by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Our diluted (loss) income per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. To the extent any common equivalent shares from stock options and other common stock equivalents are antidilutive, they are excluded from the computation of dilutive (loss) income per share. We were in a loss position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, and for the three months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in no difference between basic loss per share and diluted loss per share.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Intangible Assets
On November 3, 2010, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of privately-held MaximumASP, LLC, MaximumCOLO, LLC, and Maximum Holdings, LLC (collectively known as MaximumASP). MaximumASP is a cloud server and dedicated hosting provider that delivers its services, including managed virtual servers and dedicated servers, over the Internet to small business customers throughout the world. On October 29, 2010, we acquired 100% of the outstanding voting stock of privately-held Aretta Communications, Inc. (Aretta). Aretta offers a cloud server-based private branch exchange (or PBX) solution to small businesses throughout the world. Our purchase of MaximumASP and Aretta expands our entry into the high growth cloud services market and allows the expansion of our product portfolio of IT services into our small business customer base. It also enables us to serve a broad geographic opportunity outside our existing 14-city footprint. As a result of these acquisitions, we launched the Cloud Services segment in late 2010.
Both acquisitions include contingent consideration. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we revised the acquisition-date estimated fair value for the contingent consideration recognized for MaximumASP and recorded a $631 purchase price reduction. We also amended the asset purchase agreement with MaximumASP to clarify certain terms of the agreement. Among other things, the amendment revised the 2011 earnout revenue achievement range of $10,800 to $11,400 to a range of $13,000 to $16,000. This range includes certain revenue components that were not considered in the original agreement. The amendment did not alter the total eligible contingent consideration to the sellers of MaximumASP of $5,400, nor did it alter the contingent consideration payment date of March 31, 2012. The effect of this amendment on our financial statements was not significant.
We record the contingent consideration liability at estimated fair value. At June 30, 2011, the fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by applying the income approach and was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, representing a level three measurement (as defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.) Key assumptions include the discount rate representative of the time value of money for the period to the settlement date, and the probability-adjusted likelihood of milestone achievement and revenue achievement in calendar year 2011, the period in which the contingent consideration will be measured.

Table of Contents
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are still considered preliminary as of June 30, 2011 and are subject to change pending the finalization of our valuation procedures. There were no other significant changes in fair value assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities since December 31, 2010. Goodwill is preliminarily assigned to our Cloud Services segment.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we paid $380 in cash to MaximumASP to settle the working capital adjustment specified in the asset purchase agreement, and $400 in cash to the shareholders of Aretta upon achievement of a contingent consideration milestone during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
The following table summarizes changes to our acquired goodwill and total contingent consideration liability (current and long-term) recorded from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011:

Note 4. Share-Based Compensation Plans
We maintain share-based compensation plans that permit the grant of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock and stock purchase rights, collectively referred to as share-based awards. Substantially all of the share-based awards vest at a rate of 25% per year over four years, although the Board of Directors may occasionally approve a different vesting period. Beginning in 2011, the vesting of 50% of the share-based awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer are contingent on attaining certain financial performance metrics, which are currently deemed probable to vest. Options are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The fair market value of our common stock is determined by the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Our current policy defines the grant date for options as the second day following a quarterly earnings release for previously approved standard option grants. Share-based option awards expire 10 years after the grant date. Upon an exercise of options or a release of restricted stock, new shares are issued out of our approved stock plans. As of June 30, 2011, we had 1,041 share-based awards available for future grant. Compensation expense related to all share-based awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $3,345 and $7,631, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $3,932 and $7,633, respectively.
We also grant equity instruments to non-employees. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued, which we deem more reliably measurable than the fair value of the consideration received. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the date on which the counterpartys performance is complete.
A summary of the status of the Incentive Plan is presented in the table below:

The following table summarizes the weighted average grant date fair values and the binomial option-pricing model assumptions that were use to estimate the grant date fair value of options during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. No new stock options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2011:

As of June 30, 2011, we had $3,407 and $12,645 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options and restricted stock, respectively, which are both expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 and 2.4 years, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2011, management approved a mandatory share-based compensation plan for our management team that provides for the settlement of a portion of performance-based compensation under our corporate bonus plan with shares of common stock, governed under our 2005 Equity Incentive Award Plan. The portion of performance-based compensation that will be settled in equity is 20% of the annual bonus payout for each respective member of management based on the 2011 annual corporate bonus performance criteria that are established by management and approved by the Board of Directors. The number of shares to be granted shall be based on the closing share price of our stock on the date we pay the cash payout of the corporate bonus plan, which is expected to be in March 2012. The shares earned by the participants in this plan vest at various points in 2012. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $228 and $437, respectively, of share-based compensation expense under our corporate bonus plan.
We also have a commitment to contribute our shares to the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) at the end of each Plan year (December 31). The number of shares to be contributed is variable based on the share price on the last day of the Plan year when the obligation becomes fixed and payable. Based on the June 30, 2011 share price, 93 shares would be required to satisfy the $1,235 obligation as of June 30, 2011, assuming all participants were fully vested as of June 30, 2011. The ultimate number of shares relating to the obligation at June 30, 2011 will be higher or lower depending on whether the share price on December 31, 2011 has decreased or increased from the June 30, 2011 share price. In addition, the shares that will be issued December 31, 2011 will increase relating to further obligations accruing from June 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $581 and $1,156, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to the Plan as compared to $570 and $1,106 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Note 5. Income Taxes

We typically recognize interim period income tax expense (benefit) by determining an estimated annual effective tax rate and then apply this rate to the pre-tax income (loss) for the year-to-date period, which is the approach utilized when a reliable estimate of
11
Table of Contents
the annual effective tax rate can be made. Our estimated annual tax rate fluctuates significantly from only slight variances in estimated full year income due to our proximity to break-even results. Accordingly, we recognized interim period tax expense (benefit) through June 30, 2011 based on our year-to-date effective tax rate. This methodology provides a more accurate portrayal of our year-to-date income tax expense (benefit), as well as reduces the impact that future income variances will have on the accuracy of this amount.
Our 2011 and 2010 income tax expenses include the effects of certain transactions that are not recognized through the annual effective tax rate, but rather are recognized as discrete events during the quarter in which they occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, certain restricted shares vested where the market price on the vesting date was lower than the market price on the date the restricted shares were originally granted. This resulted in realizing a lower actual tax deduction than was deducted for financial reporting purposes. As a result, we wrote off deferred tax assets of $1,107 and $738 (in 2011 and 2010, respectively) relating to the share-based compensation that had been recognized for these restricted shares for financial reporting purposes. In 2010, the charge went first to exhaust the Companys accumulated additional-paid-in-capital pool, and the remainder was charged to income tax expense. Because the 2010 write-off of the stock compensation deferred tax asset reduced the accumulated additional-paid-in-capital pool to zero, the entire $1,107 of the 2011 write-off of deferred tax assets related to stock compensation went to income tax expense. Additionally, a portion of our valuation allowance against the stock compensation deferred tax assets was no longer required and was reduced offsetting income tax benefits of $900 and $612 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Our net deferred tax assets, after valuation allowance, totaled approximately $9,745 at June 30, 2011 and primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards. In order to realize the benefits of the deferred tax asset recognized at June 30, 2011, we will need to generate approximately $25,600 in pre-tax income in the foreseeable future, which management currently believes is achievable. If we generate less taxable income, which is reasonably possible, we may have to increase our allowance against our net deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase to income tax expense.

Note 7. Segment Information
We aggregate geographic markets with similar economic characteristics for segment disclosure purposes. This aggregation is consistent with how we manage the business. Specifically, we recognize that the highest risk stage for a market is in its early stages when we are adapting our strategy and approach to accommodate a new markets unique characteristics; including the small business climate and culture, regulatory conditions, local competitors, and the quality and availability of local employees for staffing and managing the markets. Comparatively, our established markets generally require less frequent direct corporate level management involvement because we have adapted to the local market and have seasoned local management in place, which generally results in more stable operating performance. As the number of established markets has grown, our chief operating decision maker, or CODM, spends the majority of his time monitoring the individual performance levels of newer markets and the effectiveness of our corporate operations rather than focusing on individual established markets. As such, we have aggregated these established markets as one reportable segment entitled Core Managed Services Established Markets.
The markets subject to aggregation are those that we consider established because they have successfully passed through the critical start-up phase and, for the reasons mentioned previously, achieved certain operating performance levels. Currently, a market is considered established upon achieving positive adjusted EBITDA for at least four consecutive fiscal quarters and otherwise share similar economic characteristics as the other established markets. As of September 30, 2010, the Detroit market, has been re-categorized to the Core Managed Services Established Market grouping due to its achievement of four consecutive fiscal quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA. We have updated our segment tables below to retroactively present Detroit as an established market in the prior periods.
At June 30, 2011, our reportable segments were Core Managed Services Established Markets; the individual Core Managed Services Emerging Markets including metropolitan Miami, Minneapolis, the Greater Washington DC Area, Seattle and Boston; and the Cloud Services segment. The Cloud Services segment was established in the fourth quarter of 2010 after our acquisitions. We consider the Cloud Services segment as a reportable segment because the CODM is managing the Cloud Services segment as a separate business unit in terms of resource allocation and financial performance. Specifically we have established resources and executive leadership solely dedicated to integrating our recent acquisitions into an operating arm of the company that will serve new customers in addition to up-selling existing customers.
The operating results and capital expenditures from our market-based segments reflect the costs of a pre-launch phase in each market in which the local network is installed and initial staffing is hired, followed by a startup phase, beginning with the launch of service operations, when customer installations begin. Sales efforts, service offerings and the prices charged to customers for services are generally consistent across operating segments. Operating expenses include costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative costs incurred directly in each market. Although network design and market operations are generally consistent across all operating segments, certain costs differ among the various geographical markets. These cost differences result from different numbers of network central office collocations, prices charged by the local telephone companies for customer T-1 or Ethernet access circuits, prices charged by local telephone companies and other telecommunications providers for transport circuits, office rents and other costs that vary by region.
The balance of our operations is in the Corporate group, for which the operations consist of corporate executive, administrative and support functions and centralized operations, which includes network operations, customer care and provisioning. The Corporate group is treated as a separate segment consistent with the manner in which management monitors and analyzes financial results. Corporate costs are not allocated to the other segments because such costs are managed and controlled on a functional basis that spans all markets, with centralized, functional management held accountable for corporate results. Management also believes that the decision not to allocate these centralized costs provides a better evaluation of each revenue-producing geographic segment. Management does not report assets by segment since it manages assets and makes decisions on technology deployment and other investments on a company-wide rather than on a local market basis. The CODM does not use segment assets in evaluating the performance of operating segments. As a result, management does not believe that segment asset disclosure is meaningful information to investors. In addition to segment results, we use total Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of the overall business. Because the CODM evaluates the performance of each segment on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA as the primary metric for measuring segment profitability, management believes that segment Adjusted EBITDA data should be available to investors so that investors have the same data that management employs in assessing our overall operations. The CODM also uses revenue to measure operating results and assess performance, and both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are presented herein.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used by investors, financial analysts and ratings agencies. EBITDA is generally defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. However, we use Adjusted EBITDA, also a non-GAAP financial measure, to further exclude, when applicable, non-cash share-based compensation, public offering or acquisition-related transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments, gain or loss on asset dispositions and non-operating income or expense. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because this financial measure, in combination with revenue and operating expenses, is an integral part of the internal reporting system used by our CODM to assess and evaluate the performance of the business and our operating segments, both on a consolidated and on an individual basis.

Note 8. Share Repurchase Program
On May 2, 2011, Cbeyonds Board of Directors authorized up to $15,000 in repurchases of Cbeyond common shares from time to time in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We also entered into the fifth amendment to our credit agreement on May 4, 2011 with Bank of America to allow for up to $50,000 of common share repurchases during the term of the credit agreement. The amendment also modified certain financial covenants. No other significant modification of terms, or changes to our available borrowing capacity were made under this amendment.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased $3,505 in outstanding shares, representing 269 shares at an average price of $13.03 per share. Repurchased shares are retired and are no longer issued and outstanding, but remain authorized shares. Any future repurchase will be made on an opportunistic basis depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other discretionary factors. As of the date of this filing, we have repurchased an additional $3,495 of our common shares, representing 273 shares, under the share repurchase program, and have purchased $7,000 cumulatively since we began the program in May 2011.
Note 9. Contingencies
Triennial Review Remand Order
The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, issued its Triennial Review Remand Order, or TRRO, and adopted new rules, effective in March 2005, governing the obligations of incumbent local exchange carriers (or ILECs), to afford access to certain of their network elements, if at all, and the cost of such facilities. Certain ILECs, continue to invoice us at incorrect rates, resulting in an accrual for the estimated difference between the invoiced amounts and the appropriate TRRO pricing. These amounts are generally subject to either a two-year statutory back billing period limitation or a 12-month contractual back billing limitation and are reversed as telecommunication cost recoveries once they pass the applicable back billing period. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, our accrual for TRRO totals $1,428 and $1,629.
Dissolution of Captive Leasing Subsidiaries
Effective December 31, 2006, we dissolved and collapsed our captive leasing subsidiaries. These subsidiaries historically purchased assets sales tax-free and leased the assets to our operating companies as a means of preserving cash flow during our start-up phase of operations. During 2006, we determined that the nature of our operations and experience with asset duration did not justify the administrative cost and effort of maintaining these subsidiaries. In connection with the dissolution, a final accounting of all activity under the leasing subsidiaries was performed, and certain sales tax underpayments were identified and accrued. These liabilities, along with other liabilities related to the captive leasing subsidiaries that existed at the time of collapse, were included in Other Accrued Liabilities. Over time, we adjusted the liabilities related to captive leasing subsidiaries for any statutory periods that have expired. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we removed the remainder of these liabilities since all statutory periods expired as of March 31, 2011, resulting in a benefit of $1,204 to other income, net, compared to a benefit of $1,654 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that we have adequately reserved for these liabilities and that as of June 30, 2011, there is no litigation pending that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
You should read the following discussion together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this periodic report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion in this periodic report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this report should be read as applying to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. See Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements elsewhere in this report. In this report, Cbeyond, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to as we, our, us, the Company or Cbeyond.
Overview
We formed Cbeyond and began the development of our network and business processes in early 2000. We launched our first market, Atlanta, in early 2001 and have since expanded our Core operations into 13 additional geographic markets. Additionally, our recent acquisitions and the establishment of our Cloud Services segment allow us to deliver cloud-based services outside of these target markets (see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements). As a result of our focus on expanding our Cloud Services segment and our ongoing Ethernet conversion project (see Cost of Revenue section) being implemented throughout our geographically-based markets, we currently have no plans to expand our core operations into additional markets during 2011. We have not yet determined the number and pace of new core market expansions after 2011. The following comprises the historical service launch dates for our geographically-based markets (collectively we refer to our market-based segments as our Core Managed Services):

We aggregate established markets with similar economic characteristics for segment reporting. The markets subject to aggregation are those that we consider established because they have successfully passed through the critical start-up phase and, for the reasons mentioned previously in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, achieved certain operating performance levels. Currently, a market is considered established upon achieving positive adjusted EBITDA for at least four consecutive fiscal quarters and otherwise share similar economic characteristics as the other established markets. As of September 30, 2010, the Detroit market has graduated to the Core Managed Services Established Market grouping due to its achievement of four consecutive fiscal quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA. We have updated our segment disclosure to retroactively present Detroit as an established market in the prior period (see Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements).
At June 30, 2011, our reportable segments were Core Managed Services Established Markets; the individual Core Managed Services Emerging Markets including metropolitan Miami, Minneapolis, the Greater Washington DC Area, Seattle and Boston; and the Cloud Services segment. The Cloud Services segment was established in the fourth quarter of 2010 after our acquisitions.
We focus on adjusted EBITDA as a principal indicator of the operating performance of our business and our reportable segments. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding, when applicable, non-cash share-based compensation, public offering or acquisition-related transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments, gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment and other non-operating income or expense. In our presentation of segment financial results, adjusted EBITDA for a geographic segment does not include corporate overhead expense and other centralized operating costs. We believe that adjusted EBITDA trends are a valuable indicator of our operating segments relative performance and of whether our operating segments are able to produce sufficient operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, to service debt obligations and to fund capital expenditures.

The nature of the primary components of our operating results revenues, cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses are described below:
Revenue
We offer integrated managed IT and communications services through our BeyondVoice packages over high capacity bandwidth connections. Our BeyondVoice packages have historically been essentially a single basic product that we offered in three sizes, depending on the customers size and need for bandwidth. In March 2010, we began offering our services through BeyondVoice packages that were designed to address the customers business needs rather than the size of the customer. Based on our experience since the introduction of these new packages, we determined that modifications to the packages were appropriate and began making package changes in November 2010 and completed them in the second quarter of 2011. These changes essentially combine a business-needs approach in different sizes and make mobile service an add-on. As the needs of our customers and the relative market change, we will continue to evolve our integrated service offering packages in the future as appropriate, such as including more cloud-based services in our base integrated packages starting in the third quarter.
In addition to our core BeyondVoice packages, through our acquisitions we expanded the applications and other offerings we deliver via the cloud, most notably by adding virtual and dedicated servers and cloud PBX services to the suite of products available to our customer base. In addition, our acquisitions bring customers and distribution channels not limited to our traditional geographically concentrated markets. We expect to make our historic cloud-based services, such as Virtual Receptionist, Hosted Microsoft Exchange, and secure desktop, available through these channels over time as we integrate the acquired operations. We believe the expansion of our product offering allows us to greatly extend the breadth of services we can deliver to our customers via the web, thus further minimizing or eliminating the need for our customers to invest in complex IT infrastructure and resources while increasing our wallet share opportunity and improving our value proposition. As we continue to focus on and expand our IT services utilizing the cloud, we expect to expand our addressable customer market and provide more innovative technology to new and existing customers.
Average monthly revenue per customer location, or ARPU, is impacted by a variety of factors, including: introduction of new packages with different pricing; changes in customers demand for certain products or services; changes in customer usage patterns; the proportion of customers signing three-year contracts at lower package prices as compared to shorter term contracts; the distribution of customer installations during a period; the use of customer incentives employed when needed to be competitive; as well as fluctuations in terminating access rates. Customer revenues represented approximately 98.7% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 98.4% and 98.3% for the comparable periods in 2010. Access charges paid to us by other communications companies to terminate calls to our customers represented the remainder of total revenues. We do not currently include the Cloud Services segment revenue or the related intercompany segment revenue eliminations to calculate and report ARPU as an operating metric. Thus we only utilize Core Managed Services ARPU as our revenue metric for our traditional business.
Customer revenues are generated under contracts that run up to three-year terms. Therefore, customer churn rates have an impact on projected future revenue streams. We define average monthly churn rate as the average of monthly churn, which is defined for a given month as the number of customer locations disconnected in that month divided by the total number of customer locations on our network at the beginning of that month. Our customer churn rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was 1.3%, consistent with the prior quarter and down from our highest churn rate, which was 1.5% in the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue represents costs directly related to the operation of our network, including payments to the incumbent local exchange carriers (or ILECs) and other communications carriers such as long distance providers and our mobile provider, for access, interconnection and transport fees for voice and Internet traffic, customer circuit installation expenses paid to the local telephone companies, fees paid to third-party providers of certain applications such as web hosting services, collocation rents and other facility costs, telecommunications-related taxes and fees and the cost of mobile handsets. The primary component of cost of revenue consists of the access fees paid to local telephone companies for high capacity circuits we lease on a monthly basis to provide connectivity to our customers. These access circuits link our customers to our network equipment located in a collocation facility, which we lease from local telephone companies. The access fees for these circuits vary due to a number of factors and are the primary reason for differences in cost of revenue across our markets.

Table of Contents
Historically, most of the high capacity circuits we leased were T-1s. However, we are converting many of our existing customer T-1 circuits and have begun serving new customers using Ethernet in place of T-1 circuits in a number of locations. Although not available to us on a ubiquitous basis in all areas, Ethernet technology provides us with the opportunity to offer a large percentage of our customers bandwidth at speeds well in excess of T-1 circuits while reducing our ongoing operating expenses. We currently serve just over 12% of our customers with Ethernet and are targeting to have approximately one-fourth of our existing customer base on ethernet by mid 2012. We expect to incur capital expenditures of up to $28 million through mid 2012 associated with the Ethernet conversions and expect to achieve significant access cost savings over time. As of June 30, 2011, we incurred $19.3 million in cumulative capital expenditures associated with the Ethernet conversion, of which $4.9 million and $13.6 million was incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. A significant portion of these expenditures relates to building out the collocation infrastructure to support our greater Ethernet customer base, and thus may not coincide proportionally to our actual conversion rate of customers to Ethernet in the near term.
A rising component of cost of revenue is transport cost, which is primarily the cost we incur with ILECs for traffic between central offices where we have collocation equipment, traffic between wire centers without our presence and our collocations, and intercity traffic between our markets. These costs may increase in the near term as we build additional collocations to support our Ethernet initiative; however, we expect that the increased transport costs will be offset by greater reductions in future access fees resulting from our investment in Ethernet technology, which provides significantly lower operating expenses than traditional T-1 technology.
Another significant component of our cost of revenue is the cost associated with our mobile offering. These costs include usage-based charges, monthly recurring base charges, or some combination thereof, depending on the type of mobile product in service, and the cost of mobile equipment sold to our customers to facilitate their use of our service. The cost of mobile equipment typically exceeds our selling price of such devices due to the competitive marketplace and pricing practices for mobile services. We believe these costs are offset over time by the long-term profitability of our service contracts.
We routinely receive telecommunication cost recoveries from various local telephone companies to adjust for prior errors in billing, including the effect of price decreases retroactively applied upon the adoption of new rates as mandated by regulatory bodies. These service credits are often the result of negotiated resolutions of bill disputes that we conduct with our vendors. We also receive payments from the local telephone companies in the form of performance penalties that are assessed by state regulatory commissions based on the local telephone companies performance in the delivery of circuits and other services that we use in our network. Because of the many factors as noted above that impact the amount and timing of telecommunication cost recoveries, estimating the ultimate outcome of these situations is uncertain. Accordingly, we generally recognize telecommunication cost recoveries as offsets to cost of revenue when the ultimate resolution and amount are known and verifiable. These items do not follow any predictable trends and often result in variances when comparing the amounts received over multiple periods.
Though not as significant to our overall business, the primary costs of revenue associated with our Cloud Services include licensing fees for the required operating systems, broadband service and access fees, power for our cloud server data facilities and other various costs.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 Revenue and Cost of Revenue table within Item 2 herein to disaggregate transport fees for voice and Internet traffic from Other cost of revenue to Transport cost. Such reclassifications were made to conform to the current presentation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related costs for employees and other expenses related to sales and marketing, engineering, information technology, billing, regulatory, administrative, collections and legal and accounting functions. In addition, share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses include both fixed and variable costs. Fixed selling expenses include base salaries and office rents. Variable selling costs include commissions, bonuses and marketing materials. Fixed general and administrative costs include the cost of staffing certain corporate overhead functions such as IT, marketing, administrative, billing and engineering, and associated costs, such as office rent, legal and accounting fees, property taxes and recruiting costs. Variable general and administrative costs include the cost of provisioning and customer activation staff, which grows with the level of installation of new customers, and the cost of customer care and technical support staff, which grows with the level of total customers on our network. As we expand into new markets, certain fixed costs are likely to increase; however, these increases are usually intermittent and not proportional with the growth of customers.

Revenue. Total revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to an increase in the average number of Core Managed Services customers and from $3.6 million and $6.8 million in revenue from our Cloud Services segment for the respective 2011 periods. In comparison to the same periods in 2010, the Core Managed Services segment revenue increased 4.7% and 4.8% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011,

Table of Contents
respectively, and Core Managed Services ARPU declined $48, or 6.8% and $49 or 6.9%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The decline in this ARPU is primarily due to the lower prices of the new packages introduced in 2010, existing customers converting to lower priced packages, decreased charges for usage above levels of voice minutes included in our packages, customers reducing the number of additional lines and services with incremental charges, and decreased adoption of our mobile services. We believe these declines are related to the effects of the current economic conditions on customers and increased competitive pressures from alternate providers, such as cable companies. This downward pressure has been partially offset by the value delivered through selling additional applications.
At this time, we anticipate that our Core Managed Services ARPU will continue to decline in the short-term for the reasons noted above; however, we also anticipate that recent changes to our service packages will decrease the rate of the ARPU decline by increasing the ARPU for new customers. Long-term, we expect the introduction and adoption of our new cloud-based services, as well as new applications and other cloud-based IT services will benefit ARPU.
Revenues from access charges paid to us by other communications companies to terminate calls to our customers have declined for the three and six-month comparison periods by approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million primarily due to a billing dispute filed by a major carrier during the third quarter of 2010 which had an overall negative impact on terminating access revenue. As we continue to evaluate the dispute and pursue a resolution, we are no longer recognizing the access charge revenue associated with this carrier due to the uncertainty of collectability. Terminating access charges have historically grown at a slower rate than our customer base due to reductions in access rates on interstate calls as mandated by the FCC. These rate reductions are expected to continue in the future, so we expect terminating access revenue will continue to grow at a rate slower than our customer growth and possibly decline.

Cost of Revenue. The principal driver of the overall increase in cost of revenue is customer growth, offset by a significant reduction in mobile-related costs. Cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 also includes $0.8 million and $1.5 million related to our Cloud Services segment. Cost of revenue associated with migrating customers to Ethernet technology totaled $0.7 million and $1.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Circuit access fees, or line charges, represent the largest single component of cost of revenue. These costs primarily relate to our lease of circuits connecting our equipment at network points of collocation to our equipment located at our customers premises. The increase in circuit access fees has historically correlated to the increase in the number of customers. However, we have experienced increased costs as we have expanded in certain markets with higher access fees, sold additional bandwidth to existing customers, and incurred transitional costs while migrating customers to Ethernet technology. Also as a percentage of revenue, the increase in circuit access fees is more apparent given the period over period decrease in Core Managed Services ARPU. We expect circuit access fees as a percentage of revenue to stabilize over time as we convert customers to Ethernet technology, which we believe will save operating costs in the long-term and as customer ARPU stabilizes.
The other cost of revenue principally includes components such as long distance charges, installation costs to connect new circuits, the cost of local interconnection with the local telephone companies networks, internet access costs, the cost of third-party applications we provide to our customers, access costs paid by us to other carriers to terminate calls from our customers and certain taxes and fees. Other cost of revenue increased as a percentage of revenue over the prior period primarily due to customer growth outpacing revenue growth.
Transport cost is a rising component of cost of revenue and may continue to rise in the near term at a rate outpacing customer growth as we expand current markets and build additional collocations to support our Ethernet initiative. Long term, we expect transport costs to stabilize and relative decreases to access costs on a per-customer basis given the cost savings of Ethernet access over traditional T-1 access.
As a percentage of revenue, mobile service costs benefitted from a reduction in services costs and in mobile device cost as a result of shipping fewer devices in 2011. The reduction in shipments stems from a lower percentage of new customers electing mobile services, primarily due to a reduction in our use of promotional and other incentives. Additionally, we have been able to negotiate and achieve more efficient unit service costs. We do not currently anticipate significant changes in the percentage of customers using our mobile service in the future.
Telecommunication cost recoveries are an ongoing operational activity that fluctuate from period to period, and have consistently remained at an approximate 1% of revenue over the comparative periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Other Operating Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to increased employee salaries, wages and benefits. Total selling, general and administrative expenses also includes $2.2 million and $4.1 million of additional expenses from our new Cloud Services segment in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The overall increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is partially offset by certain decreased expenses, including marketing costs, bad debt expense, and in the most recent three months, share-based compensation.
23
Table of Contents
Higher employee costs, which include salaries, wages, benefits and other compensation paid to our direct sales representatives and sales agents, principally relate to the additional employees necessary to staff emerging markets and to serve the growth in customers. The three and six months ended June 30, 2011 also includes approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million in compensation to our new Cloud Services employees who were not with us in the first and second quarter of 2010, and approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million in employee cost associated with migrating customers to Ethernet technology during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Overall, the increase in salaries, wages and benefits over the prior respective periods was consistent with the growth in employees and has remained consistent as a percentage of revenue.
Share-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased overall and as a percentage of revenue as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a decline in the fair value of awards granted over time based on lower share prices in recent periods. As our share price has declined from its height in 2007, we are experiencing certain decreases in our share-based compensation expense related to the full vesting of higher historical valued awards granted. Additionally, the resignation of certain executives in late 2010 and early 2011 resulted in decreased expense from awards forfeited, period over period. Share-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 remained consistent in amount and as a percentage of revenue compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The amount has not increased due to the aforementioned reasons, most notably realized in the $0.9 million reduction from the three months ended March 31, 2011 to three months ended June 30, 2011. Included in this consecutive quarter reduction is also a $0.4 million reduction in expense realized under our corporate bonus plan as the 2010 awards completed vesting during the first quarter.
Marketing costs decreased in amount and as a percent of revenues over the prior period as 2010 had increased marketing efforts associated with the introduction of the BeyondVoice Office and Mobile Edition packages. In general, our marketing costs will increase consistent with past practice as we add customers and expand into new markets. Additionally, we expect higher marketing costs in the remainder of 2011 as we promote our new Cloud Services segment and market the service to new and existing customers.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include professional fees, outsourced services, rent and other facilities costs, maintenance, recruiting fees, travel and entertainment costs, property taxes and bad debt expense. The increase in this category of costs is primarily due to the addition of new and expanded operations needed to keep pace with the growth in customers. The improvement as a percentage of revenue is partially attributable to improved bad debt expense over the prior year and stronger overall cost controls as we scale back overhead growth to be in line with recent revenue growth.
Bad debt expense associated with Core Managed Services, was $1.7 million, or 1.5% of revenues, compared to $2.0 million, or 1.7% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, bad debt expense was $3.2 million or 1.3% of revenues, compared to $4.1 million and 1.8% of revenues. This decline is primarily driven by our decreased Core Managed Services customer churn rate since typically the rate of bad debts and customer churn are closely related, as well as from stronger cash collections consistent with decreases in accounts receivable balances over the prior year.
Other operating expenses include acquisition-related transaction costs, and depreciation and amortization. Transaction costs include accounting, legal, consulting and other directly related professional fees associated with our recent Cloud Services acquisitions. The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 relates primarily to an overall approximate 40% increase in capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended, June 30, 2010. In addition we recognized $0.8 million and $1.6 million of depreciation and amortization from assets acquired through the recent Cloud Services acquisitions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Over time, as newer markets become established and as our customer base and revenues grow, we expect selling, general and administrative costs to decrease as a percentage of revenue. This trend is also expected when slowing the speed of market expansion, and as more markets achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA results. Excluding depreciation and amortization, our selling, general and administrative costs per customer for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 were 10.7% and 8.7% lower than in the same respective periods of 2010. Efficiency gains as a percentage of revenue are adversely impacted by declining ARPU, resulting in a more modest decrease in these costs relative to revenues. In addition, transaction costs related to acquisitions or financing activities may adversely affect selling, general and administrative costs in the short term.
Operating (Loss)/Income
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, our operating loss was $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, compared to operating income of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the comparable periods ended June 30, 2010. The operating loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily driven by approximately $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in operating expenses associated with our Ethernet conversion project; increased depreciation and amortization as a result of increased capital expenditures and acquired tangible and intangible assets from the Cloud Services acquisitions; and decreasing Core Managed Services ARPU.

Interest Expense. The majority of our interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 relates to commitment fees under our revolving credit facility with our creditor, and are higher in 2011 due to increasing our credit facility from $25.0 million to $40.0 million early in 2010 and then to $75.0 million early in 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit.
Other income, net. Other income, net related primarily to adjusting liabilities of our former captive leasing subsidiaries upon the expiration of various statutory periods, as discussed in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized zero and $1.2 million of income, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. We recognized our 2011 interim period income tax (expense) benefit based on our year-to-date effective tax rate. Our income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is based on an effective tax rate of 21.7%, before discrete period items. The income tax (expense) benefit includes state income tax expense that results from states with gross receipts based taxes, which are due regardless of profit levels. These taxes are not dependent upon levels of pre-tax income and have a significant influence on our effective tax rate. As these markets operating results become proportionately less significant to the consolidated results and as consolidated pre-tax income increases, the impact of these gross receipts based taxes on our effective tax rate will decline. Additionally, the 2011 income tax benefit reflected amounts associated with share based transactions, which are more fully described in Note 5 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The amounts recorded in 2011 and 2010 also benefitted from reductions in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Our net deferred tax assets, after valuation allowance, totaled approximately $9.7 million at June 30, 2011 and primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards. In order to realize the benefits of the deferred tax asset recognized at June 30, 2011, we will need to generate approximately $25.6 million in pre-tax income in the foreseeable future, which management currently believes is achievable. If we generate less taxable income, which is reasonably possible, we may have to increase our allowance against our net deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase to income tax expense.
Segment Data
We monitor and analyze our financial results on a segment basis for reporting and management purposes, as is presented in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows From Operations. Operating cash flows decreased compared to the 2010 period primarily from: the timing of significant capital expenditure and telecommunication vendor payments resulting in $4.3 million in cash flow decreases from accounts payable; the timing of significant prepaid maintenance agreements paid in the current period but not in the comparable prior period, resulting in $2.8 million in reduced cash flows; a net loss during the current six month period compared to net income in the prior period, resulting in $2.8 million of reduced cash flows; and, $1.2 million in higher annual bonus payments in the first quarter of 2011 in comparison to that of 2010.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Our principal cash investments are purchases of property and equipment, which fluctuate depending on growth in customers in our existing markets; the timing and number of facility and network additions needed to support our entry into new markets, expand existing markets and upgrade our network; enhancements and development costs related to our operational support systems in order to offer additional applications and services to our customers; and increases to the capacity of our data centers as our customer base and the breadth of our product portfolio expand. In addition, we continue to invest in the deployment of Ethernet technology to reduce operating expenses and enable the provision of higher bandwidth services to our customers. We anticipate that quarterly expenditures on our Ethernet technology platform will decline following the second quarter of 2011 and that the majority of our Ethernet investment will occur during 2011. We believe that capital efficiency is a key advantage of the IP-based network technology that we employ. Our cash purchases of property and equipment were $40.0 million and $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our cash purchases of property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2011 included approximately $13.6 million related to the Ethernet conversion project. We expect to incur approximately $9.0 million in additional capital expenditures through mid 2012 related to this project. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we also paid $0.8 million in deferred acquisition consideration to sellers of our Cloud Services acquisitions.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Cash flows used in financing activities relate to activity associated with employee stock option exercises, vesting of restricted shares, financing costs associated with the fourth and fifth amendments of the credit agreement with Bank of America, and the repurchase of common stock. The $5.9 million decrease in cash flows over the prior period is primarily due to the repurchase of Cbeyond common stock and higher taxes paid on the vesting of restricted shares in 2011.
Overall, we believe that cash on hand plus cash generated from operating activities will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures, operating expenses and other operating cash requirements associated with future growth. However, the six months ended June 30, 2011 includes negative cash flows for payments that occur on an infrequent basis, such as annual prepaid network maintenance fees, share repurchases, annual corporate bonus payments, and acquisition-related consideration. In addition, the increasing growth in capital expenditures resulting from the Ethernet initiative coupled with decreasing Core Managed Services ARPU has resulted in negative cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
We intend to adhere to our policy of fully funding all future market expansions in advance and do not anticipate entering markets without having more than sufficient cash on hand or borrowing capacity to cover projected cash needs. We believe that cash on hand and prospective cash flow from operations are sufficient to fund normal operations in 2011 and beyond, including our Ethernet conversion project and our investment in the Cloud Services business. Depending on the speed of conversions, opportunities for increased conversions, and the potential for acceleration of the growth rate in Cloud Services, it is possible that our cash outflows for these investments would not coincide on a short-term basis with cash inflows. In addition, the added cash requirements under our share repurchase program could necessitate funding beyond our cash on hand or cash flow from operations. In such circumstances, we may consider it prudent to temporarily draw against our credit facility. Further, while we do not anticipate a need for additional access to capital or new financing aside from our line of credit facility in the near term, we monitor the capital markets and may access those markets if our business prospects or plans change resulting in a need for additional capital, or if additional capital required can be obtained on favorable terms.
As of the date of this filing, we have repurchased $7.0 million of our common shares under the share repurchase program out of a total authorization of up to $15.0 million, of which $3.5 million were repurchased as of June 30, 2011.

Revolving Line of Credit
As discussed as a source of cash noted above, we have a secured revolving line of credit for up to $75.0 million (increased from $40.0 million in February 2011) with Bank of America, of which $73.7 million is available. Availability is reduced due to $1.3 million in letters of credit which are outstanding under the revolving line of credit. The letters of credit are collateralized by our restricted cash. Our current plans may contemplate drawing down on the line of credit; however, we may draw down on the line modestly in the near term, depending primarily on the timing of our future capital expenditures in connection with our Ethernet project and further share repurchases. The current line of credit is available through February 2016 based on the fourth amendment to the agreement executed in February 2011. As of June 30, 2011, we are not in violation of any financial covenants under the line of credit agreement. The terms of the line of credit are further described in Note 8 of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
We also entered the fifth amendment to our credit agreement on May 4, 2011 with Bank of America to allow for up to $50,000 of common share repurchases during the term of the credit agreement. The amendment also modified certain financial covenants. No other significant modification of terms, or changes to our available borrowing capacity were made under the amendment (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we consider those that involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity as critical. While we have used our best estimates based on the facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimates that we used are reasonably likely to occur from period to period which may have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. A description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 11, 2011, in the Critical Accounting Policies section of the MD&A.

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk
All of our financial instruments that are sensitive to interest rate risk are entered into for purposes other than trading. We invest in instruments that meet high credit quality standards as specified in our investment policy guidelines. At June 30, 2011, all cash and cash equivalents that are held in money market funds invest primarily in short-term U.S. Treasury Obligations and are immediately available cash balances. Accordingly, our exposure to market risk primarily relates to changes in interest rates received on our investment in money market funds and immediately available cash. Management estimates that if the average yield of our investments changed by 100 basis points, our interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 would have changed by less than $0.1 million. This estimate assumes that the change occurred on the first day of 2011 and that all cash and cash equivalents are held in money market funds. However as of June 30, 2011, the majority of our cash is held in operating bank accounts. The impact on our future interest income of future changes in investment yields will depend largely on our total investments.
Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
