SPŌK HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1) Business — On July 8, 2014, the Company changed its name from USA Mobility, Inc. to Spōk Holdings, Inc.
Spōk Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “SPŌK” or the “Company”), through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Spōk, Inc., is a comprehensive provider of critical communication solutions for the enterprise. As a single source provider, the Company operates the largest one-way paging and advanced two-way paging networks in the United States and provides mission critical unified communication software solutions nationally and internationally (in Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East).
Effective January 1, 2014 the legal entity, Amcom Software, Inc. ("Amcom"), was merged into Spōk, Inc. (formerly USA Mobility Wireless, Inc.), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Spōk Holdings, Inc. Our sole operating subsidiary is now Spōk, Inc. In addition, management was reorganized to consolidate the separate management structures for the wireless and software segments into one integrated management structure. Effective January 1, 2014 the Company is structured as one operating (and reportable) segment, a unified communication business.
(2) Preparation of Interim Financial Statements — Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of income within the operating expense categories of cost of revenue; service, rental and maintenance; selling and marketing; and general and administrative are recorded exclusive of severance and restructuring costs, depreciation, amortization and accretion. These items are shown separately on the condensed consolidated statements of income within operating expenses. Foreign currency translation adjustments were deemed immaterial and consequently, no statements of comprehensive income are presented.
The financial information included herein, other than the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. In management’s opinion, our unaudited condensed consolidated statements include all adjustments and accruals that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statements of income for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Due to the integration of the management structure and consolidation of certain sales support functions effective January 1, 2014, certain prior year's interim revenue and operating expenses were reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. In 2014, we will report wireless and software revenue, and have reclassified the revenue previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 (the "Second Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q") to conform with the current year's presentation. In the second quarter of 2013, wireless revenue of $37.771 million was reported as $36.370 million in service, rental and maintenance, net of service credits and $1.401 million of software revenue and other, net. Also, in the second quarter of 2013, software revenue of $14.497 million was reported in software revenue and other, net. We reclassified payroll and related expenses among functional departments and eliminated general and administrative overhead expenses previously allocated to cost of revenue, service, rental and maintenance and selling and marketing. The reclassifications resulted in the following increases and (decreases) to the Second Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q reported operating expenses: Cost of revenue of $1.476 million; service, rental and maintenance of ($0.804) million; selling and marketing of $0.191 million and general and administrative of ($0.863) million. The changes had no impact on previously reported total operating expenses and operating income.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
(3) Risks and Other Important Factors — See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part I of the 2013 Annual Report, which describes key risks associated with our operations and industry. 
(4) Recent and New Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 creates a five-step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering all relevant facts and circumstances in the determination

SPŌK HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


of when and how revenue is recognized. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and any interim periods that fall within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. For us the new standard will be effective in the first quarter of 2017. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. We have not selected a transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact from this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

(7) Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion — The total depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses related primarily to property and equipment, amortizable intangible assets, and asset retirement obligations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $4.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively; and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $8.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

(8) Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets — Goodwill at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $133.0 million. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment at least annually, or when events or circumstances suggest a potential impairment has occurred. We have selected the fourth quarter to perform this annual impairment test. We will evaluate goodwill for impairment between annual tests if indicators of impairment exist. There were no indicators of impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Amortizable intangible assets at June 30, 2014 include customer related intangibles, technology based intangibles, contract based intangibles and marketing intangibles and resulted from our acquisition of Amcom in 2011 and IMCO Technologies Corporation (“IMCO”) in 2012. Such intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from two to ten years.
The gross carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets was $41.5 million at June 30, 2014 and the accumulated amortization was $18.9 million. The net consolidated balance of amortizable intangible assets consisted of the following:

to be made during the first quarter of 2015. Therefore, the related dividends payable (the line item Dividends payable - 2011 LTIP) was reclassified from other long-term liabilities to accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2014 based on the expected payment in the first quarter of 2015.
(11) Asset Retirement Obligations — We recognize liabilities and corresponding assets for future obligations associated with the retirement of assets. We have paging equipment assets, principally transmitters, which are located on leased locations. The underlying leases generally require the removal of equipment at the end of the lease term; therefore, a future obligation exists.
At January 1, 2014, we had recognized cumulative asset retirement costs of $3.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an increase of $0.1 million in asset retirement costs for a total of $3.9 million at June 30, 2014. The asset retirement cost additions during the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased paging equipment assets and are being depreciated over the related estimated lives of 54 months. The asset retirement costs and the corresponding liabilities that have been recorded to date generally relate to either current plans to consolidate networks or to the removal of assets at an estimated future terminal date.
The components of the changes in the asset retirement obligation liabilities were:

The balances above were included with accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2014.
(12) Deferred Revenue — Deferred revenue at June 30, 2014 was $24.6 million for the current portion and $0.6 million for the non-current portion. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2013 was $23.0 million for the current portion and $0.9 million for the non-current portion. Deferred revenue at June 30, 2014 primarily consisted of unearned maintenance, software license and professional services revenue. Unearned maintenance revenue represented a contractual liability to provide maintenance support over a defined period of time for which payment has generally been received. Unearned software license and professional services revenue represented a contractual liability to provide professional services more substantive than post contract support for which not all payments have been received. We will recognize revenue when the service or software is provided or otherwise meets our revenue recognition criteria.
(13) Long-Term Debt — On November 8, 2011, we executed the First Amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). The Amended Credit Agreement increased the amount of the revolving credit facility to $40.0 million. The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is September 3, 2015. We may make a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) election for any amount of our debt for a period of 1, 2 or 3 months at a time; however, we may not have more than 5 individual LIBOR loans in effect at any given time. We may only exercise the LIBOR rate election for an amount of at least $1.0 million.
Borrowings under this facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our existing assets, interests in assets and proceeds owned or acquired by us.
As of June 30, 2014, we had no outstanding debt and the Amended Credit Agreement remains in effect with approximately $40.0 million of available borrowing capacity subject to maintaining a minimum liquidity threshold of $25.0 million and to reductions for outstanding letters of credit. The $25.0 million liquidity threshold can be satisfied by maintaining cash on hand or borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement.
We are exposed to changes in interest rates should we have borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement. The floating interest rate debt exposes us to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate exposure resulting from changes in LIBOR. The definitive extent of the interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. We do not customarily use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk profile.
We are subject to certain financial covenants on a quarterly basis under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. These financial covenants consist of a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all of the required financial covenants as of June 30, 2014.

We have also established control agreements with the financial institutions that maintain our cash and investment accounts. These agreements permit Wells Fargo to exercise control over our cash and investment accounts should we default under provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement. We are not in default under the Amended Credit Agreement and do not anticipate that Wells Fargo would need to exercise its rights under these control agreements during the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.

The issuance of RSUs awarded under the 2011 LTIP is expected to be made during the first quarter of 2015. Therefore, the related dividends payable (the line item Dividends payable - 2011 LTIP) was reclassified to accounts payable and accrued liabilities from other long-term liabilities in 2014 based on the expected payment in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the lease incentive liability during the first six months of 2014 relates to a new office lease located in New York.
(15) Stockholders’ Equity — Our authorized capital stock consists of 75 million shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 25 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

The total payment reflects the cash dividends paid in relation to common stock and vested restricted stock.
Future Cash Dividends to Stockholders. On July 30, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock, with a record date of August 19, 2014, and a payment date of September 10, 2014. This cash dividend of approximately $2.7 million will be paid from available cash on hand.
Additional Paid-in Capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, additional paid-in capital increased by $1.7 million to $129.0 million at June 30, 2014 from $127.3 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to recognition of stock based compensation.
Net Income per Common Share. Basic net income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares including outstanding restricted stock and RSUs, which are treated as contingently issuable shares, using the “treasury stock” method. The components of basic and diluted net income per common share were as follows for the periods stated:

The decrease of compensation expense associated with service, rental and maintenance during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was due to forfeitures of eligible RSUs in the second quarter of 2014.
(17) Income Taxes — We file a consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return and income tax returns in state, local and foreign jurisdictions (Canada and Australia) as required.
At June 30, 2014, we had total deferred income tax assets of $143.2 million and a valuation allowance of $119.3 million resulting in an estimated recoverable amount of deferred income tax assets of $23.9 million. This reflected a change from the December 31, 2013 balance of deferred income tax assets of $148.2 million and a valuation allowance of $119.3 million resulting in an estimated recoverable amount of $28.9 million. The change reflects the expected usage of the deferred income tax assets based on estimated 2014 taxable income.
We consider both positive and negative evidence when evaluating the recoverability of our deferred income tax assets. The assessment is required to determine whether based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than a 50% probability) whether all or some portion of the deferred income tax assets will be realized in the future. During the fourth quarter of each year, we prepare a multi-year forecast of taxable income for our operations. The forecasts of taxable income are not sufficient to result in the full realization of our deferred income tax assets due to the continuing decline in our revenue and taxable income as customers switch to other communication solutions and delay purchasing and implementation decisions.
The anticipated effective income tax rate is expected to continue to differ from the Federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes, the effect of changes to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, permanent differences between book and taxable income and certain discrete items.
As of January 1, 2014, we had approximately $343.8 million of Federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) available to offset future taxable income. The Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limited NOLs as of January 1, 2014 totaled $50.4 million which may be used at a rate of $6.1 million per year. The 2013 NOLs utilized is expected to be approximately $44.7 million and this amount will be confirmed when we file our 2013 Federal Income Tax Return.
(18) Related Party Transactions — A member of our Board of Directors also served as a director for an entity that leases transmission tower sites to the Company. During the fourth quarter of 2013, this entity acquired one of our vendors, Global Tower Partners. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and for the

11

SPŌK HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)


six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to that entity in site rent expenses that were included in service, rental and maintenance expenses.
(19) Commitments and Contingencies — There have been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to the commitments and contingencies previously reported in the 2013 Annual Report except as noted below.
In March 2014, we entered into an exclusive agreement with a vendor to purchase a minimum number of paging devices over a three-year period. We have a purchase commitment of $8.3 million over this three year contractual term.
In April 2014, we entered into an agreement with a vendor for certain information technology services over a three-year contract term. The total contractual obligation is $1.6 million.
In April 2014, we amended an existing agreement with a vendor for our headquarters office space in Springfield, Virginia. We extended the original lease term for an additional 3 years with the new lease term expiring on March 31, 2018. In addition, we retained an adjacent office space for a lease period of 4 years also expiring on March 31, 2018. The additional rent expense, net of rent abatement, associated with the amendment is estimated to be approximately $1.2 million over the amended lease terms.
(20) Segment Reporting — On March 3, 2011, the Company (formerly USA Mobility, Inc.) acquired Amcom. From that date the Company determined, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 - Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) that the Company had two reportable segments, a wireless segment and a software segment that were also the Company’s operating segments. Generally through December 31, 2013, the Company maintained two separate operations with distinct operating structures. Starting in 2013, the Company undertook an internal reorganization and reorientation. That reorganization was designed to unify the Company's wireless and software product offerings under one brand identity and to establish one company dedicated to operational excellence, customer focus and creative problem solving. Our approach was to maximize favorable operational attributes and eliminate redundancies to affect: one integrated sales force selling software and wireless solutions; one set of overhead; one customer message and experience; one platform for future acquisitions; and to grow our revenue on a profitable basis to create long-term stockholder value. A key element of this strategy included consolidation of our legal entities and management. Effective January 1, 2014 the legal entity, Amcom Software, Inc., was merged into Spōk, Inc. (formerly USA Mobility Wireless, Inc.), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Our sole operating subsidiary is now Spōk, Inc. In addition, management was reorganized to consolidate the separate management structures for the wireless and software segments into one integrated management structure. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company is structured as one operating (and reportable) segment, a unified communication business. The Chief Executive Officer (who is also the chief operating decision maker as defined by ASC 280) views the business as one operation and assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of our consolidated operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to Spōk Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“SPŌK” or the “Company”) (formerly USA Mobility, Inc.) that set forth anticipated results based on management’s current plans, known trends and assumptions. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions, as they relate to SPŌK are forward-looking statements.
Although these statements are based upon current plans, known trends and assumptions that management considers reasonable, they are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those discussed below and under the captions “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Statements of Income (“MD&A”),” and “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2014 (the “2013 Annual Report”). Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, known trends change, or underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results or outcomes may differ materially from past results and those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, targeted or forecasted. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements. Investors are advised to consult all further disclosures the Company makes in its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K that it will file with the SEC. Also note that, in the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report, the Company provides a cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possibly inaccurate assumptions relevant to its business. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from past results as well as those results that may be anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, targeted or forecasted. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risk factors. Consequently, investors should not consider the risk factor discussion to be a complete discussion of all of the potential risks or uncertainties that could affect SPŌK’s business, statement of income or financial condition, subsequent to the filing of this Quarterly Report.
Overview
The following MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the statements of income and financial position of SPŌK. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our 2013 Annual Report and our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. A reference to a “Note” in this section refers to the accompanying Unaudited Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company is structured as one operating (and reportable) segment, a unified communication business as more fully described in Note 20. The Chief Executive Officer (who is also the chief operating decision maker as defined by ASC 280) views the business as one operation and assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of our consolidated operations.
SPŌK, acting through our indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Spōk, Inc., is a comprehensive provider of critical communication solutions for the enterprise. As a single source provider the Company operates the largest one-way paging and advanced two-way paging networks in the United States and provides mission critical unified communication software solutions nationally and internationally (in Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East) to such key market segments as healthcare, government and large enterprises. Software solutions include critical smartphone communication solutions, secure texting, contact center optimization, emergency management and clinical workflow improvement. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, wireless and software revenue represent approximately 70% and 30%, respectively of our consolidated revenue.
The following tables indicate the wireless and software revenue by key market segments for the periods stated and illustrate the relative significance of these market segments to our operations.

Revenue
We offer a focused suite of unified critical communication solutions that include call center operations, clinical alerting and notifications, one-way and advanced two-way wireless messaging services, mobile communications and public safety solutions.
We develop, sell, and support enterprise-wide systems for hospitals and other organizations needing to automate, centralize, and standardize mission critical communication solutions. Given the focused nature of our software products, our primary market has been the healthcare industry, particularly hospitals. We have identified hospitals with 200 or more beds as the primary targets for our software solutions.
We have established solutions for:
Hospital Call Centers - These solutions encompass operator and answering services along with call recording, scheduling and selective additional support modules.
Clinical Workflow Communication - These solutions address hospital code processing as well as physician support tools.

14



Communication Applications - These solutions support hospital notification and appointment support.
Communications Infrastructure - These solutions support the wireless messaging infrastructure and offer a software product that can link disparate communications software (“middleware”).
Public Safety - These solutions implement and support emergency communication systems.
Revenue generated by wireless messaging services (including voice mail, personalized greeting, message storage and retrieval) and equipment loss and/or maintenance protection to both one-way and two-way messaging subscribers are presented as wireless revenue in our statements of income. In addition, we sell software solutions, professional services (installation and training), equipment (to be used in conjunction with the software) and post-contract support (on-going maintenance). Revenue generated by these communication solutions are reflected as software revenue in our statements of income. Our software is licensed to end users under an industry standard software license agreement.
We market and distribute our communication services and solutions through a direct sales force and an indirect sales channel.
Direct. The direct sales force rents or sells products, solutions, messaging services and other services directly to customers ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to companies in the Fortune 1000, healthcare and related businesses, and Federal, state and local government agencies. We will continue to market to commercial enterprises, especially healthcare organizations, that are interested in our communication solutions. We maintain a sales presence in key markets throughout the United States in an effort to gain new customers and to retain and increase sales to existing customers. We also maintain several corporate groups, such as our Key Account Management team, focused on retaining and selling additional products and services to our key healthcare accounts as well as a team selling to government and national accounts. The direct sales force targets unified communications leadership such as chief information officers, information technology directors, telecommunications directors and contact center managers. Additionally, for certain of our software solutions, we target clinical leadership including chief medical officers and chief nursing officers. The timing for a direct sale varies by the type of service or solution that is being offered, but a software solution sale may take from 6 to 18 months depending on the type of software solution.
Indirect. The direct sales force is complimented by an indirect sales channel. This channel coordinates relationships with alliance partners or third-party service providers that are ultimately responsible for the delivery of our services or solutions to the customer.
The following details additional information on our revenue.
Wireless Revenue
Our core offering includes subscriptions to one-way or two-way messaging services for a periodic (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) service fee. This is generally based upon the type of service provided, the geographic area covered, the number of devices provided to the customer and the period of commitment. A subscriber to one-way messaging services may select coverage on a local, regional or nationwide basis to best meet their messaging needs. Two-way messaging is generally offered on a nationwide basis. In addition, subscribers either lease a messaging device from us for an additional fixed monthly fee or they own a device, having purchased it either from us or from another vendor. We also sell devices to resellers who lease or resell devices to their subscribers and then sell messaging services utilizing our networks. We offer ancillary services, such as voicemail and equipment loss or maintenance protection, which help increase the monthly recurring revenue we receive along with these traditional messaging services.
Wireless revenue consists of two primary components: paging revenue and product and other revenue. The breakout of wireless revenue by component was as follows for the periods stated:

The demand for one-way and two-way messaging declined at each specified date and we believe demand will continue to decline for the foreseeable future. Demand for our services has also been impacted by the uncertainty in the United States economy and unemployment rates nationwide.
As demand for one and two messaging has declined, we have developed or added service offerings such as Mobile Connect with a pager number in order to increase our revenue potential and mitigate the decline in our wireless revenue. We will continue to look for ways to innovate and provide customers the highest value possible.
Wireless revenue is generally based upon the number of units in service and the monthly charge per unit. The number of units in service changes based on subscribers added, referred to as gross placements, less subscriber cancellations, or disconnects. The net of gross placements and disconnects is commonly referred to as net gains or losses of units in service or net disconnect rate. The absolute number of gross placements as well as the number of gross placements relative to average units in service in a period, referred to as the gross placement rate, is monitored on a monthly basis. Disconnects are also monitored on a monthly basis. The ratio of units disconnected in a period to average units in service for the same period, called the disconnect rate, is an indicator of our success at retaining subscribers, which is important in order to maintain recurring revenue and to control operating expenses.

The other factor that contributes to revenue, in addition to the number of units in service, is the monthly charge per unit. As previously discussed, the monthly charge per unit is dependent on the subscriber’s service, extent of geographic coverage, whether the subscriber leases or owns the messaging device, and the number of units the customer has in the account. The ratio of revenue for a period to the average units in service, for the same period, commonly referred to as ARPU, is a key revenue measurement as it indicates whether charges for similar services and distribution channels are increasing or decreasing. ARPU by distribution channel and messaging service are monitored regularly.
The following table sets forth ARPU by distribution channel for the periods stated:

While ARPU for similar services and distribution channels is indicative of changes in monthly charges and the revenue rate applicable to new subscribers, this measurement on a consolidated basis is affected by several factors, including the mix of units in service and the pricing of the various components of our services. We expect future sequential annual revenue to decline in line with recent trends. The change in ARPU in the direct distribution channel is the most significant indicator of rate related changes in our revenue. The decrease in consolidated ARPU for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was due to the change in composition of our customer base as the percentage of units in service attributable to larger customers continues to increase. These larger customers benefit from lower pricing associated with their larger number of units-in-service. We believe that without further price adjustments, ARPU would trend lower for both the direct and indirect distribution channels in the remainder of 2014 and that price increases could mitigate, but not completely offset, the expected declines in both ARPU and revenue.

Software Revenue
Software revenue consists of two primary components: operations revenue and maintenance revenue.
Operations revenue consists of license revenue, professional services revenue, and equipment sales. Maintenance revenue is for ongoing support of a software application or equipment (typically for one year). We recognize equipment revenue when it

17



is delivered to the customer. License revenue, professional services revenue and maintenance revenue are recognized ratably over the longer of the period of professional services delivery to the customer or the contractual term of the maintenance agreement. If the period of delivery to the customer is not known, license revenue and professional services revenue will be recognized when software and professional services are fully delivered to the customer and maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual term of the agreement.

On a regular basis, we engage in contractual arrangements with our customers to provide software licenses, professional services, and equipment sales. In addition, we enter into contractual arrangements for maintenance with our customers on new solutions or renewals on existing solutions. These contractual arrangements are reported as bookings and represent future revenue. Bookings increased by 21.3% and 20.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 due to an increase in maintenance and subscription renewals in the second quarter of 2014 and in the first six months of 2014.

Operations — Consolidated
Our operating expenses are presented in functional categories. Certain of our functional categories are especially important to overall expense control and management; these operating expenses are categorized as follows:
Cost of revenue. These are expenses primarily for hardware, third-party software, outside service expenses and payroll and related expenses for our professional services, logistics, customer support and maintenance staff.
Service, rental, and maintenance. These are expenses associated with the operation of our paging networks and development of our software. Expenses consist largely of site rent expenses for transmitter locations, telecommunication expenses to deliver messages over our paging networks, and payroll and related expenses for our engineering, pager repair functions and development and maintenance of our software products.

18



Selling and marketing. These are expenses associated with our direct sales force and indirect sales channel and marketing expenses in support of those sales groups. This classification consists primarily of payroll and related expenses and commission expenses.
General and administrative. These are expenses associated with information technology and administrative functions. This classification consists primarily of payroll and related expenses, outside service expenses, taxes, licenses and permit expenses, and facility rent expenses.
We review the percentages of these operating expenses to revenue on a regular basis. Even though the operating expenses are classified as described above, expense control and management are also performed by expense category. Approximately 70% of the operating expenses referred to above were incurred in payroll and related expenses, site and facility rent expenses and telecommunication expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our largest expense, payroll and related expenses, include wages, commissions, incentives, employee benefits and related taxes. On a monthly basis, we review the number of employees in major functional categories and the design and physical locations of functional groups to continuously improve efficiency, to simplify organizational structures, and to minimize the number of physical locations for the Company. We have 615 full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) at June 30, 2014, a decrease of 14.6% from 659 FTEs at June 30, 2013. The change in the number of FTEs reflects adjustments to our workforce to reflect the changing nature of our revenues. Software revenue is anticipated to increase while the wireless revenue is expected to continue to decrease reflecting the changing technology expectations of our customer base.
Site rent expenses for transmitter locations are largely dependent on our paging networks. We operate local, regional, and nationwide one-way and two-way paging networks. These networks each require locations on which to place transmitters, receivers, and antennae. Site rent expenses for transmitter locations are highly dependent on the number of transmitters, which in turn is dependent on the number of networks. In addition, these expenses generally do not vary directly with the number of subscribers or units in service, which is detrimental to our operating margins as wireless revenue declines. In order to reduce these expenses, we have an active program to consolidate the number of paging networks, and thus transmitter locations, which we refer to as network rationalization. We have reduced the number of active transmitters by 3.7% to 4,431 active transmitters at June 30, 2014 from 4,601 active transmitters at June 30, 2013.
Telecommunication expenses are incurred to interconnect our paging networks and to provide telephone numbers for customer use, points of contact for customer service, and connectivity among our offices. These expenses are dependent on the number of units in service, the number of customers we support and the number of office and network locations that we maintain. The number or duration of telephone calls to call centers may vary from period to period based on factors other than the number of units in service or customers, which could cause telecommunication expenses to vary.
Due to the integration of the management structure and consolidation of certain sales support functions effective January 1, 2014, certain prior year's interim revenue and operating expenses were reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. In 2014, we will report wireless and software revenue, and have reclassified the revenue previously reported in the Second Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q to conform to the current year's presentation. In the second quarter of 2013, wireless revenue of $37.771 million was reported as $36.370 million in service, rental and maintenance, net of service credits and $1.401 million of software revenue and other, net. Also, in the second quarter of 2013, software revenue of $14.497 million was reported in software revenue and other, net. We reclassified payroll and related expenses amongst functional departments and eliminated general and administrative overhead expenses previously allocated to cost of revenue, service, rental and maintenance and selling and marketing. The reclassifications resulted in the following increases and (decreases) to the Second Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q reported operating expenses: Cost of revenue of $1.476 million; service, rental and maintenance of ($0.804) million; selling and marketing of $0.191 million and general and administrative of ($0.863) million. The changes had no impact to previously reported total operating expenses and operating income.

Revenue — Wireless
Our wireless revenue was $33.5 million and $37.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in wireless revenue reflects the decrease in demand for our wireless services. Paging revenue consists primarily of recurring fees associated with the provision of messaging services and rental of leased units and is net of a provision for service credits. Product and other revenue reflects system sales, the sale of devices and charges for leased devices that are not returned and are net of anticipated credits.

As previously discussed, demand for messaging services has declined over the past several years and we anticipate that it will continue to decline for the foreseeable future, which would result in reductions in wireless revenue due to the lower number of subscribers and related units in service.

The increase in operations revenue primarily reflects an increase in the number of customer implementations compared to the comparable period in 2013. The increase in maintenance revenue reflects our continuing success in renewals of our maintenance support for existing software solutions and in maintenance support for sales of new solutions. The maintenance renewal rate for both the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 99.5%.
