ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
We provide remote communication services for everyday business meetings and events. Virtually all of our communication services are based on proprietary architecture that integrates traditional telephony technology with real-time interactive web tools. Our continuum of interactive services includes Reserverationless Conferencing, Web Conferencing Pro, Operator Assisted Conferencing and Unlimited Conferencing. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2003, we launched the beta version of our next-generation service, Raindance Meeting Edition, which was recently released in March 2004. Reservationless Conferencing provides for automated reservationless audio conferencing with simple web controls and presentation tools. Web Conferencing Pro allows users to integrate reservationless automated audio conferencing with advanced web interactive tools over the web such as application sharing, web touring and online whiteboarding. Operator Assisted Conferencing provides customers with operator assistance during high profile conferencing events and additional services such as call taping, digital replay and transcription, which we often bundle with our Web Conferencing Pro service. Unlimited Conferencing offers unlimited local toll access to our reservationless conferencing service for a fixed monthly rate. Raindance Meeting Edition is our next-generation communication service that integrates audio, web and video conferencing. Built on multimedia architecture that integrates audio, web and multi-point video technologies, we intend to leverage the infrastructure, technologies and proprietary systems of our next-generation network and services to facilitate the rapid deployment of service enhancements and additional business communication solutions. We sell these services to businesses in various markets as well as to resellers of conferencing and communications services, through our direct and indirect sales channels. Our business model is largely usage-based, which generally means that our customers only pay for the services that they use. We also offer our customers monthly subscription rates based on a fixed number of concurrent users. In addition, through our distribution partners, we may also offer our services on a software license basis. We operate as a single business segment.

We were incorporated in Delaware in April 1997. We first recorded revenue in 1998 and, excluding the fiscal year 2003, have incurred net losses every year since inception and expect to incur net losses again in the near term. Our principal executive offices are located at 1157 Century Drive, Louisville, Colorado 80027.
Remote Meeting Solutions
Our integrated audio, web and video conferencing services support various types of meetings from a simple, on-the-fly audio conference to company-wide online training initiatives. These flexible service offerings enable businesses to choose the right solution to meet their specific needs.
Our remote communication services offer the following benefits:
| | Integrated Audio, Web and Video Functions. For everyday conference calls, meeting moderators can use their personal ID to begin a phone conference at anytime without a reservation or an operator. To add another layer of interaction and group collaboration, moderators use the same ID to begin a web conference with interactive features to share rich visual content and encourage higher levels of participation. We provide customers simple and convenient remote communications solutions and with the release of Raindance Meeting Edition, we provide our customers access to audio, web and video conferencing with one telephone access number, one user ID, one technical support team and one billing solution. | ||
| | Reliability and Security. We designed our facilities and infrastructure to provide the scalability and reliability required to meet the critical communication needs of our customers. We incorporate telecommunications-grade reliability standards into our communication technologies and design our infrastructure to accommodate more participants and usage than we expect. We monitor servers in our data center with redundant network connections. In addition to offering our services in a secure socket layer, or SSL, environment with 128-bit encryption, we provide a robust firewall configuration that offers layered protection for customer data. Meeting moderators have the ability to further ensure and monitor the security of their meetings using several layers of security, including PIN codes, audio tones that signal when a participant enters or exits, conference lock to prevent additional participants from joining a conference, a participant count feature and unique security codes created by the meeting moderator. | ||
| | Flexible Pricing. Depending on the customers communication needs and selected remote meeting solution, we offer a variety of pricing models to accommodate estimated service usage as well as the customers preferred method of payment. A large portion of our services are usage-based, which generally means that our customers pay on a per-minute, per-participant basis. In addition, we also offer our customers monthly subscription rates based on a fixed number of concurrent users. For our distribution partners, we may provide our services through software licenses. |
We offer several levels of service depending on the customers needs. All of our services can be used together or separately to create the ideal remote meeting solution for each customer.
Our services include the following:
Raindance Meeting Edition. In the first quarter of 2004, our next-generation services, which we call Raindance Meeting Edition, became generally available to the public. Built on multimedia architecture, that we call the SwitchTower network, Raindance Meeting Edition intuitively integrates audio, web and video technologies into one seamless solution. Raindance Meeting Edition includes innovative features that drive the complexity out of planning, accessing and managing everyday remote meetings. In addition to easy-to-use multi-point video, browser and application sharing features, Raindance Meeting Edition unites directly with users desktops and provides seamless Outlook integration. Meeting moderators can use our unique call-me feature to dial themselves into the conference with no access numbers to remember and invite participants using a one-click link. To engage participants in a fully collaborative experience as if everyone were in the same room, meeting moderators can allow participants to easily share documents and information in a virtual public workspace, control participants interactivity with customized settings and manage a roster of participants engaged in the audio, web and video portions of the meeting.
4
Web Conferencing Pro. Our Web Conferencing Pro service, available in either Meeting or Seminar version, is a feature-rich web conferencing tool that allows sales, marketing and training professionals to conduct meetings and events online with both internal and external participants. Web Conferencing Pro requires no downloads or plug-ins for meeting participants, allows customers to customize the interface with their companys colors and logo and offers a single, integrated interface enabling meeting moderators to control both the phone and web functions.
| Web Meeting. Using the Meeting version of our Web Conferencing Pro service, Meeting moderators can choose to share a variety of visuals online including collectively viewing and editing desktop applications, displaying slide presentations, conceptualizing on a shared whiteboard and leading a web tour. In addition, moderators can take advantage of features that keep participants engaged and encourage interactivity, such as annotation tools, text chat and polling. |
| Web Seminar. Our Web Conferencing Pro Seminar version builds upon the features of the Meeting version with added automated management tools to manage large or recurring online events. Web Seminar allows event organizers, such as training or HR managers, to post meeting schedules, manage participant registration and set automatic email reminders prior to the event. In addition, Web Seminar includes additional features to manage interaction with large groups, such as our online Q&A feature. |
Reservationless Conferencing. Our Reservationless Conferencing combines the reliability and universal availability of traditional audio conferencing services with basic web presentations and controls. Using their dedicated toll-free number and unique conference ID and PIN, meeting moderators can begin a conference at any time with up to 125 participants from the phone or the web, without prior reservations or operator assistance. By leveraging our basic web presentation tools and controls, moderators also have the ability to share a visual presentation, extend the reach of their conference by streaming audio and synchronized slide presentations over the web and leverage a suite of conference controls.
Operator-Assisted Conferencing. Our Operator-Assisted Conferencing service provides a higher level of personalized operator support as well as unique features for high-profile conferences and events that need special attention. This service allows meeting moderators to contact an operator to schedule a conference call, select the appropriate features for their event and provide event management support. Operator-Assisted Conferencing provides features such as an operator-led question and answer session with meeting participants, call taping for later replay and fax services enabling moderators to distribute additional printed materials before or after the conference. Operator-Assisted Conferencing can be used in conjunction with Web Conferencing Pro Meeting or Seminar to support events with up to 2,500 participants.
Unlimited Conferencing. Raindances Unlimited Conferencing service provides small and medium-sized businesses a convenient way to conduct audio and web conferences with a predictable, low price. Our fully automated, flat-rate conferencing service allows meeting moderators to use their unique conference ID and PIN to conference as often as they choose, all billed at one fixed cost. With Unlimited Conferencing, moderators and participants dial into the conference using their dedicated local exchange toll call number. Similar to Raindance Reservationless Conferencing, Unlimited Conferencing requires no reservations to initiate a conference with as many participants as the moderators account allows. Unlimited Conferencing also includes phone and web commands to control the conference and integrated web functions to share a presentation, conduct Q&A and view online reports. This new service became available in the first quarter of 2003.
Future Service Offerings
We intend to leverage the infrastructure, technologies, and proprietary systems of our next-generation network and services to facilitate the rapid deployment of service enhancements and additional business communication solutions.
Customers
We have a diverse base of customers across numerous vertical markets, such as computer software, business services, manufacturing and financial services. As of December 31, 2003, we had 3,659 revenue generating customers. In 2003, direct customers accounted for 85% of our revenue. In addition, we partner with resellers, such as conferencing and communications providers, to leverage their large and established customer bases. Some of our
5
distribution partners also use our services internally. In 2003, we generated 15% of our revenue from these relationships.
Additionally, our results typically fluctuate based on seasonal sales patterns. Our operating results have shown decreases in our usage-based services around certain holiday periods, such as during the spring, summer, Thanksgiving, December and New Year holidays. We expect that our revenue during these seasons will not grow at the same rates as compared to other periods of the year because of decreased use of our services by business customers.
Technology
We have invested substantial human and capital resources to develop proprietary systems and applications that integrate disparate telephony and Internet communication technologies. Our layered approach to building applications allows us to effectively leverage our existing infrastructure, technologies and proprietary systems to accommodate changes in the marketplace. We believe this gives us a competitive advantage by allowing us to quickly and reliably develop new services and enhance our existing services based on evolving market needs. We believe that our technological resources give us the following benefits:
| | the ability to identify new and enhance existing web conferencing services; | |
| | the ability to build integrated applications by combining traditional telephony, voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) and Internet communication technologies; and | |
| | the ability to build a reliable and scalable communication infrastructure. |
The technologies that support our business fall into four areas described below:
Data Infrastructure. Our data infrastructure provides Internet connectivity between our end customers and our automated services. We run a multi-home network infrastructure and operate our own private networks between our on-premises data center and leased data centers. Our entire data infrastructure is redundant with network cores consisting of some of the industrys most advanced gigabit technology. All data circuits are delivered over multiple local loop providers and travel to our data facilities over disparate paths. Critical choke-points in our data architecture are load balanced. With the architecture design we currently have in place, we have maintained constant service availability at the data layer for our customers connectivity. Currently we provide over 450 Mbits of data layer connectivity to our customers over three separate Internet backbones.
Voice Infrastructure. Our voice infrastructure provides the telephony connectivity to our customers that is required for the audio conferencing aspects of our services. Our voice infrastructure consists mainly of dynamically routed SS7 call processing systems that integrate closely with our network providers. These logical layer connections are made over diverse local loop fiber routes and connect to geographically disparate switching fabrics. Currently we have over 500 T1 voice circuits in production from two service providers. We have developed proprietary schemes and methodologies to provide higher uptime statistics than systems utilizing single network architectures. Over the past 18 months we have dedicated resources toward building a conferencing platform based on VoIP technology. Our VoIP platform is currently in production and we expect to transition some portion of our voice conferencing traffic onto it throughout 2004.
Application Infrastructure. Our application infrastructure is developed in-house and represents a substantial portion of our intellectual property and a considerable competitive advantage. Our ability to offer our customers integrated audio and web functionality is a hallmark of our proprietary layering methodology. This functionality provides us an advantage over competitors with less integrated offerings. Our application infrastructure is largely Java based and is highly redundant and scalable.
Business Infrastructure. We operate a largely custom and proprietary business infrastructure layer that consists of custom real-time billing and rating engines. These functions enable us to provide our customers with critical business information and tools. Our architecture is designed to allow us to use information from each of the other infrastructure layers described above, and as a result, we can provide current billing information for virtually any type of communication action that is enabled by our platform. The business infrastructure layer uses Oracle 9i for all storage and runs on multiple redundant and host standby servers. Our business layer also allows us to adapt to changing requirements as next generation services mature.

Research and Development
Our research and development efforts are currently focused on leveraging the infrastructure, technologies, and proprietary systems of our next-generation network and services to facilitate the rapid deployment of service enhancements and additional business communication solutions to meet the changing needs of our diverse customer base. We believe our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and introduce new services and enhancements. We have made, and expect to continue to make, significant investments in research and development.
We expensed approximately $8.3 million, $7.6 million and $5.7 million related to research and development activities in the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of March 1, 2004, we had a total of 58 full-time engineers and developers engaged in research and development activities. We intend to devote substantial resources to research and development for the next several years.
Sales and Marketing
Sales. We currently sell our services through a direct sales force and indirect sales channels. As of March 1, 2004, we had 135 full-time employees engaged in sales and marketing. Our direct sales force targets our services primarily to large and medium-sized corporations with a proven need for business communication services in diverse vertical markets, such as computer software, business services, manufacturing and financial services. We also have an account management team that is responsible for developing our relationships and expanding opportunities within our existing customers. Our indirect sales initiatives allow us to extend our reach to businesses of all sizes by developing alternative distribution channels. The efforts of our indirect sales group focus on partnering with resellers, such as conferencing and communications providers, to leverage their large and established customer bases and distribution channels. We private label or co-brand our services for these partners depending on their requirements. A significant percentage of our sales force compensation is commission based.
Marketing. We primarily focus our marketing efforts on aggressive direct marketing programs aimed at our target customers. We seek to generate qualified leads for our sales team, educate and retain existing customers, generate brand awareness through proactive public relations and drive service enhancements using research and customer feedback.
Customer Service
We offer customer support and operator assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, free of charge, to our customers. Technical and customer support is available through a toll-free telephone number and email request system. In addition, our users can request operator help during a conference directly from their computer or on their telephone. We also offer substantial self-serve information databases in the form of frequently asked questions, and user and quick reference guides hosted on our web site. As of March 1, 2004, we employed 25 full-time technical and customer support representatives to respond to customer requests for support.
The vast majority of our requests for customer support are based on general product functionality and basic technical assistance, such as browser setting adjustments. The majority of our customer inquiries can be addressed during an operations technicians initial contact with the customer. If the issue cannot be resolved immediately, it will be escalated to our Level II support team. If further help is required the issue will be immediately transferred to our Level III support team. Once the issue is identified and a timeline for a resolution is determined, the associated operations account manager will contact the customer with the resolution plan. Additionally, all customer incidents are tracked within our database for future reference and technical pattern analysis.
Competition
The market for web conferencing services is relatively new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. As the market for these services evolves, more companies are expected to enter this market and invest significant resources to develop services that compete with ours. As a result, we expect that competition will continue to intensify and may result in price reductions, reduced sales and gross profits, loss of market share and reduced acceptance of our services.
We believe that the primary competitive factors in the web conferencing services market include:
7
| | pricing; | |
| | ease of use of services and breadth of features; | |
| | brand identity; | |
| | quality and reliability of communication services; | |
| | compatibility with new and existing communication formats; | |
| | access to and penetration of distribution channels necessary to achieve broad distribution; | |
| | quality of customer service; | |
| | ability to develop and support secure formats for communication delivery; | |
| | scalability of communication services; and | |
| | challenges caused by bandwidth constraints and other limitations of the Internet infrastructure. |
Our failure to adequately address any of the above factors could harm our competitive position.
We are a premier provider of integrated web and audio conferencing services. As such, we compete with stand-alone providers of traditional teleconferencing and web conferencing services. Some of our current competitors have entered and expanded, and other competitors or potential competitors may enter or expand their positions in the web conferencing services market by acquiring one of our competitors, by forming strategic alliances with these competitors or by developing an integrated offering of services. For example, Microsoft acquired Placeware, a competitor of ours, and Cisco Systems acquired Latitude Communications, a competitor of ours. In addition, some large software providers, such as Oracle and Macromedia, are also providing web conferencing products in addition to their software offerings. Oracle is a large customer of ours and has indicated its intent to discontinue using our services in the near term. These companies have large and established customer bases, substantial financial resources and established distribution channels that could significantly harm our ability to compete.
In the web conferencing services market our principal competitors include Centra Software, Microsoft/Placeware and WebEx. Some of these competitors offer web conferencing services and software with a broader set of features than we currently offer and may integrate teleconferencing services into their web conferencing offerings. We also compete with resellers of web conferencing services. There are also a number of private companies, such as distance-learning companies, that have entered or may enter the web conferencing services market. In the traditional teleconferencing market, our principal competitors include AT&T, Global Crossing, MCI WorldCom and Sprint. These companies currently offer teleconferencing services as part of a bundled telecommunications offering, which may include video and data conferencing services and other web conferencing services. We also compete with traditional operator-assisted conferencing providers, such as Genesys, West Corp/Intercall and PTEK/Premier Conferencing. In addition, we compete with resellers of these services.
Intellectual Property
The success of our business is substantially dependent on the proprietary systems that we have developed. Currently, we have five issued patents. These patents cover functionality related to our Web Conferencing Pro service. We also have twelve pending patent applications covering aspects of our existing and next-generation services and infrastructure. There is no assurance that our current and future patent applications will result in any patents being issued. If they are issued, any patent claims allowed may not be sufficient enough to protect our technology. In addition, any current or future patents may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented and any right granted thereunder may not provide meaningful protection to us. The failure of any patent to provide protection for our technology would make it easier for other companies or individuals to develop and market similar systems and services without infringing upon any of our intellectual property rights. In addition, other companies may claim that our technology infringes on their intellectual property rights. For example, on August 19, 2003, Edisync Systems LLC, a Colorado-based limited liability company, filed a lawsuit against us and some of our competitors in the United
8
States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging patent infringement. In December 2003, we entered into a definitive settlement agreement with the plaintiff for $0.3 million. We are not currently involved in any other material legal proceedings. We may be subject to other claims alleging intellectual property infringement. Claims of this nature could require us to spend significant amounts of time and money to defend ourselves, regardless of their merit. If any of these claims were to prevail, we could be forced to pay damages, comply with injunctions, divert management attention and resources, or halt or delay distribution of our services while we reengineer them or seek licenses to necessary intellectual property, which might not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. As the number of competitors in our market grows, there is an increased risk that the proprietary systems and software upon which our services rely may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims.
To protect our proprietary rights, we also rely on a combination of trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, copyrights, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. Our protection efforts may prove to be unsuccessful and unauthorized parties may copy or infringe upon aspects of our technology, services or other intellectual property rights. In addition, these parties may develop similar technology independently. Existing trade secret, copyright and trademark laws offer only limited protection and may not be available in every country in which we intend to offer our services. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary information is difficult. Each trademark, trade name or service mark appearing in this report belongs to its holder. Raindance, Raindance Communications, SwitchTower, OpenGo and our logo are trademarks or registered trademarks owned by us; all other company and product names herein may be trademarks of their respective owners.
Employees
As of March 1, 2004, we employed 244 full-time people. The employees included 26 in general and administrative functions, 25 in customer service, 135 in sales and marketing and 58 in research and development. Our future success depends in part on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical and management personnel. Our employees are not represented by a labor union or covered by any collective bargaining agreements. We consider our employee relations to be good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our principal executive office is located in Louisville, Colorado where we lease two facilities, which combined, approximate 43,500 square feet. One of the buildings, representing approximately 36,500 square feet, is partially owned by Paul Berberian, our chairman of the board and former chief executive officer and president. This lease commenced in October 1999 and has a term of ten years. Pursuant to this lease, we pay rent of $60,848 per month subject to an annual adjustment for inflation based on the consumer price index. We also pay the operating expenses related to this building, which are currently $17,326 per month and vary on an annual basis. In connection with the acquisition of Interact Conferencing, LLC, we also assumed a facility lease obligation associated with a building that is partially owned by the former president and chief executive officer of InterAct Conferencing who became an officer of the Company upon the completion of the acquisition. This facility is located in Roswell, Georgia and approximates 12,000 square feet. The lease obligation commenced in May 2002 and has a maximum term of 5 years. Pursuant to this lease we pay rent of $12,250 per month and also pay operating expenses of approximately $2,500 per month which vary on an annual basis. Based on an independent review of both of these properties and the related lease terms, we believe our lease obligations are fair and reasonable. Additionally, the Company leases office space for current or former satellite sales offices that are typically less than 3,000 square feet in six other states. We currently utilize one of these satellite facilities in California for a sales office and sublease the others to third parties. At December 31, 2003, the Company occupied three offices in Colorado, one in California and one in Georgia. We believe that these existing facilities are adequate to meet current foreseeable requirements or that suitable additional or substitute space will be available on commercially reasonable terms.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we have been subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. On August 19, 2003, Edisync Systems LLC, a Colorado-based limited liability company, filed a lawsuit against us and some of our competitors in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging patent infringement. In December 2003, we entered into a definitive settlement agreement with the plaintiff for $0.3 million, which we had previously accrued in the third quarter of 2003. We are not currently party to any other material legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

In 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets became effective and as a result, amortization of goodwill ceased upon adoption of the Statement on January 1, 2002. Amortization expense related to goodwill would have been $12.2 million in 2003 and $26.5 million in 2002 at the prior amortization rate. In lieu of amortization, we were required to perform an initial impairment review of our goodwill in 2002 and are required to perform an annual impairment review thereafter.
