Convio, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The Company

Convio, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Convio”), is a provider of on-demand constituent engagement solutions that enable nonprofit organizations (“NPOs”) to more effectively raise funds, advocate for change and cultivate relationships with donors, activists, volunteers, alumni and other constituents. During the periods covered by this report, the Company's integrated solutions include its Convio Online Marketing (“COM”) platform and Convio Common Ground CRM (“Common Ground”), its constituent relationship management application. The COM platform enables NPOs to harness the full potential of the Internet and social media as new channels for constituent engagement and fundraising. Common Ground delivers next-generation donor management capabilities, integrates marketing activities across online and offline channels and is designed to increase operational efficiency. The Company's solutions are enhanced by a portfolio of value-added services tailored to its clients' specific needs.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on October 12, 1999. On February 16, 2007, the Company acquired GetActive Software, Inc. (“GetActive”), a privately owned company based in Berkeley, California. The Company acquired GetActive, a provider of online constituent relationship management software and services and a competitor of the Company, to expand its client base and increase its market presence in the nonprofit market. On January 28, 2011, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, StrategicOne, Inc. (“StrategicOne”), acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of StrategicOne, LLC, a privately owned company, to strengthen its enterprise offering by adding the experience and expertise of a provider of data analytics, predictive modeling and other database marketing services to the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the SEC. The December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments necessary, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, for the fair presentation of the Company's statement of financial position as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the year ending December 31, 2011. All references to June 30, 2011 or to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Quarterly Financial Information

The Company's quarterly operating results normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal and other variations in its business, principally due to usage revenue which is derived from funds raised by its clients at special events and sales commissions which are expensed in the period in which the agreements are signed. The growth and amount of usage revenue vary based on the number of events, the percent of funds raised online for these events, the growth and success of events and the signing of new clients for events. The Company recognizes the usage revenue from these events when the usage amounts are determined, reported and billed to the client. Usage revenue is seasonal as events are typically held in the spring and fall. Historically, the Company's usage revenue has been higher during the second and third quarters. In addition, period-over-period comparisons

4

Convio, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

may be impacted significantly by the addition or loss of any special events of enterprise clients. The Company's operating expenses may also fluctuate as a result of sales commissions. The Company expenses sales commissions in the period in which it signs agreements, but the Company generally recognizes the related revenue over the terms of those agreements. The Company may report poor operating results due to higher sales commissions in a period in which it experiences strong sales of its solutions, particularly sales to enterprise clients. Alternatively, the Company may report better operating results due to lower sales commissions in a period in which it experiences a slowdown in sales. As a result, its sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate quarterly and will not be indicative of annual sales and marketing expenses.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Applicable Accounting Guidance

Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental United States GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company's financial statements.

Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to current year presentation. The presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations has been modified as a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, Multiple‑Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”), as more fully described under Revenue Recognition below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue from subscriptions, services and usage and recognizes revenue in accordance with relevant authoritative accounting principles. The Company's subscription arrangements do not allow the client to take possession of the software application and the Company's arrangements do not contain general rights of return. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;
the service has been provided to the client;
the collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and
the amount of fees to be paid by the client is fixed or determinable.
In determining whether collection of the subscription and related services fees is reasonably assured, the Company considers financial and other information about clients, such as a client's funding level, obtained as part of the Company's sales effort with the clients. As a client relationship progresses, the Company also considers the client's payment history. The Company's determination of collectibility has historically been good as bad debt expenses have not been significant to date.

In determining whether the fee is fixed or determinable, the Company only recognizes revenue for amounts that the client is legally obligated to pay. There are no instances where the Company is recognizing revenue prior to invoicing the client. For example, for multi-year contracts where the client has the right to cancel a portion of the contractual term, the Company only recognizes revenue for amounts related to the noncancellable portion of the contract until the client has relinquished its right to cancel. For multi-year contracts with increasing annual payments, the Company recognizes revenue based upon the amounts actually invoiced, which results in an increasing amount of revenue recognized each year. For multi-year contracts with decreasing annual payments, the Company recognizes revenue ratably using the entire noncancellable contract value, which results in cash received in the early portion of the contract term exceeding the amount of revenue recognized. For contracts that

5

Convio, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

have usage-based terms, the Company recognizes revenue when the usage amounts are determined, reported and billed to the client.

Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement beginning on the later of the activation date or the date the client begins paying for the subscription. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

In October 2009, the FASB amended the accounting standards for multiple-element revenue arrangements to:

provide updated guidance on how multiple deliverables that exist in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated;
require an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using best estimated selling prices (“BESP”) of each element if a vendor does not have vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”); and
eliminate the use of the residual method and require a vendor to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.

The Company adopted this accounting guidance prospectively for applicable arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011 (the beginning of the Company's fiscal year).

Prior to adoption of ASU 2009-13, services, when sold with a subscription of the Company's modules, did not qualify for separate accounting as the Company did not have objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered subscription service. Therefore, it recognized such services revenue from these multiple-element agreements ratably over the term of the related subscription agreement and allocated subscription revenue and services revenue based on the stated contract price. If elements were not separately priced in the contract then the entire amount was allocated to subscription revenue. The Company will continue to recognize revenue on all services sold together with a subscription entered into prior to January 1, 2011 ratably over the remaining subscription period.

As a result of adopting ASU 2009-13, the Company accounts for services as a separate unit of account from subscriptions when each is sold in one arrangement. In accordance with ASU 2009-13, the Company allocates revenue to each element in an arrangement based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on VSOE of selling price, if available, TPE of selling price, if VSOE is not available, or BESP, if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company has been unable to establish VSOE or TPE for the elements included in its multiple-element sales arrangements. Therefore, the Company has established the BESP for each element primarily by considering the average price of actual sales of services sold on a standalone basis, renewal pricing of subscription services, the number of modules purchased or renewed and the expected usage by the client over their subscription term, as well as other factors, including but not limited to market factors, management's pricing practices and growth strategies. Revenue allocated to the subscription is recognized over the subscription term and revenue allocated to services is recognized as the services are delivered.

The total arrangement fee for a multiple-element arrangement is allocated based on the relative BESP of each element.  If the amount of the total arrangement consideration allocable to services under this method is greater than the fee stated in the contract for the delivery of such services, only the contractually-stated amount is recognized as revenue as the services are delivered to the client.  The additional fees allocated to services above the amount stated in the contract are recognized ratably over the term of the subscription as that allocated fee becomes due.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $20.7 million and $38.9 million, respectively, with the adoption of ASU 2009-13, and would have been $20.6 million and $38.8 million, respectively, for these periods had the Company not adopted ASU 2009-13. The increase in revenue was relatively immaterial as the Company adopted the new guidance for all arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011. As the Company will be able to recognize the revenue allocated to services upon delivery and completion of the work rather than ratably over the contracted term of the subscription as required under the previous accounting guidance, the Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2009-13 will result in a continued increase in revenue for the remainder of 2011 on existing and new service agreements, as compared to revenue from such agreements as if the Company had not adopted ASU 2009-13. The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of the increase in revenue, as the impact will depend on the nature and size of the new or materially modified arrangements as well as the mix of subscription and services included in the arrangements in any given

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Continued

future period.

When the Company sells services other than with the subscription of its modules, the Company evaluates whether the services should be combined with the existing subscription agreement as a multiple-element revenue arrangement based on the following factors:

availability of the services from other vendors;
whether objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered elements;
the nature of the services;
the timing of when the services agreement was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date; and
the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the client's satisfaction with the services.
When the Company sells services other than with the subscription of its modules, the Company recognizes revenue under time and material contracts as the services are delivered and the Company recognizes revenue from fixed price contracts as the services are delivered using a proportional performance method.

Certain clients have contracts that provide for a percentage of donations received online through its modules to be paid to the Company in place of or in conjunction with the standard monthly subscription fee. In addition, certain clients have contracts which require payment of additional fees for usage above the levels included in the standard monthly subscription fee. Such fees are recognized as revenue when the usage amounts are determined, reported and billed to the client.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from the Company's subscription service and related professional services described above and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company generally invoices its clients for their subscription service in quarterly installments while a smaller number are invoiced annually or monthly. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, noncancellable subscription agreements.

Research and Development

The Company capitalizes the costs to develop software for internal use (including the costs of developing the Company's COM and Common Ground solutions) incurred during the application development stage as well as costs to develop significant upgrades or enhancements to existing internal use software. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years. The Company capitalized costs incurred to upgrade and enhance existing internal use software of approximately $641,000 and $238,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $1.1 million and $463,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income, as well as other changes in stockholders' equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. The Company's only element of other comprehensive income (loss) is unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. There were realized gains recorded to net income of $2,000 and zero in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2,000 and zero in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no realized losses in these periods.

Sales Commissions

Sales commissions are earned by the salesperson at the time of contract signing and sales commissions are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss carryforwards and credits using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized, and recognizes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment requires judgment as to the likelihood and amounts of future taxable income by tax jurisdiction. To date, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as it believes the objective and verifiable evidence of its historical pretax net losses outweighs the positive evidence of its current and forecasted future results of positive pre-tax income. Although the Company believes that its tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax determination involves significant judgment that is subject to audit by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. The Company will continue to monitor the positive and negative evidence and it will adjust the valuation allowance as sufficient objective positive evidence becomes available.
The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be realized. Potential interest and penalties associated with any uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of income tax expense. Through June 30, 2011, the Company has not identified any material uncertain tax positions for which liabilities would be required.
Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award on that date, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally over the vesting period, on a straight-line basis. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options awarded under our equity incentive plans.

Net Income Per Share

The Company used the two-class method to compute net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, because the Company had previously issued securities, other than common stock, that contractually entitled the holders to participate in dividends and earnings of the Company. In May 2010, all of the Company's outstanding convertible preferred stock converted into common stock in connection with the Company's initial public offering. Prior to the conversion, the holders of the Series C convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors, in preference to a declaration or payment of a dividend, at a rate of $0.7114 per share. In addition, the holders of the Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, in preference to any common stock of the Company. The dividends were non-cumulative and no such dividends were declared or paid. Holders of Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock did not share in losses of the Company.

Under the two-class method, basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income attributable to common stockholders is determined by allocating undistributed earnings between the holders of common stock and Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including potential dilutive shares of common stock assuming the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock, on an if-converted basis, and outstanding stock options and convertible preferred stock warrants using the treasury stock method.

In May 2010, in conjunction with the Company's initial public offering, all of the Company's Series P, Series Q, Series R and Series S common stock converted into undesignated common stock. Prior to the conversion, the Series P, Series Q, Series R and Series S common stock had the same dividend rights, and therefore, resulted in basic and diluted net income per share being the same for each class of common stock.

Basic and diluted net income per share was calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts) (unaudited):

3. Acquisition of StrategicOne, LLC
On January 28, 2011, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, StrategicOne, acquired certain assets and liabilities of StrategicOne, LLC, a privately owned company, to strengthen its enterprise offering by adding the experience and expertise of a provider of data analytics, predictive modeling and other database marketing services to the Company. The purchase price paid was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, the Company recorded goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
 
StrategicOne acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities in exchange for $4.9 million in cash, $500,000 of which has been held back for a period of 18 months from the acquisition date to compensate the Company for any breach of a representation or warranty, or any violation or default of any obligation by StrategicOne, LLC subsequent to the acquisition and is recorded as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, Convio agreed to deliver up to 50,000 shares of Convio common stock (acquisition date fair value of $450,000) and pay up to $1.3 million in additional cash consideration over the next three years upon the achievement of certain milestone-based objectives, the payment of which are guaranteed by Convio in the event that such milestone-based objectives are achieved. Payouts under these agreements are contingent upon future employment of certain former StrategicOne, LLC employees with Convio and were therefore not included as consideration in recording the business combination but will be recorded as compensation expense as earned. Through June 30, 2011, the Company has recognized approximately $201,000 in compensation expense under these agreements.
 
The Company recorded the purchase of StrategicOne, LLC's assets and liabilities assumed using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The results of StrategicOne's operations are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations beginning with the date of the acquisition. Proforma results of operations related to this acquisition have not been presented since StrategicOne, LLC's operating results up to the date of acquisition were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The customer relationships, intellectual property and trade names intangible assets acquired will be amortized over a three-year term from the acquisition date.
 
Acquisition related costs for StrategicOne of $103,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2010 and $101,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 have been included in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, acquisition related costs of $139,000 have been included in cost of services on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company performed a review of all of the securities in its portfolio with an unrealized loss position to determine if any other-than-temporary impairments were required to be recorded. Factors considered in the Company's assessment included but were not limited to the following: the Company's ability and intent to hold the security until maturity, the number of months until the security's maturity, the length of time that each security has been in an unrealized loss position, ratings assigned to each security by independent ratings agencies, the magnitude of the unrealized loss compared to the face value of the security and other market conditions. Impairments are not considered other than temporary as the Company has the intent to hold these investments until maturity. No other-than-temporary impairments were identified as of June 30, 2011 related to securities currently in the Company's portfolio. The Company also noted that none of the securities in the portfolio as of June 30, 2011 have been in an unrealized loss position for greater than one year.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of their short maturities.

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities. The fair value of these financial instruments was measured using a hierarchal disclosure framework based upon the level of subjectivity of the inputs used in measuring assets and liabilities. The three levels are described below:

Level 1
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2
Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3
Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Company's own data.

The following summarizes the valuation of the Company's financial instruments (in thousands). The tables do not include either cash on hand or assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases approximately 90,000 square feet of office space for its corporate headquarters located in Austin, Texas. The lease has a term of seventy-eight months, which commenced in April 2007. The lease agreement contains escalating rent payments, which may be adjusted for component charges, taxes, insurance and maintenance related to the property. The total basic rent payable over the full seventy-eight month lease term which expires in September 2013 (net of three months' rent abatement) will be approximately $8,678,000.
 
In January 2010, the Company entered into a sublease agreement pursuant to which Convio sublet approximately 12,000 square feet of its office facility located in Austin, Texas. The sublease has a term of forty-four months. The total sublease payments receivable over the full forty-four month lease term will be approximately $823,000.

The Company also leases additional office space in the San Francisco Bay Area of California and Washington, D.C. With the acquisition of StrategicOne, LLC, we acquired leases for small offices in Overland Park, Kansas and Lincoln, Nebraska.

On February 8, 2011, the Company entered into an office building lease with Emery Station Joint Venture, LLC pursuant to which Convio now leases approximately 6,185 square feet in an office facility located in Emeryville, California. The lease has a term of sixty-three months, which commenced on April 16, 2011. The lease agreement contains escalating rent payments, which may be adjusted for component charges, taxes, insurance and maintenance related to the property. The total basic rent payable over the full sixty-three month lease term is approximately $977,000. The Company's former lease for office space in Berkley, California expired in June 2011.

On June 13, 2011, the Company entered into an office building lease with Northern Lights, LLC pursuant to which Convio leases approximately 3,872 square feet in an office facility located in Lincoln, Nebraska. The lease has a term of thirty-nine months which commenced on July 5, 2011. The lease agreement contains escalating rent payments, which may be adjusted for component charges, taxes, insurance and maintenance related to the property.

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company is unaware of any pending or unasserted claims that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results of the Company.

Certain executive officers are entitled to certain payments if they are terminated without cause or as a result of a change in control. Upon termination without cause, and not as a result of death or disability, each of such officers is entitled to receive a payment of base salary for four to six months following termination of employment and certain officers will be entitled to continue to receive coverage under medical and dental benefit plans for four to six months or until such officers are covered under a separate plan from another employer. Upon a termination other than for cause or with good reason following a change in control, each of such officers will be entitled to the same benefits as upon termination without cause and will also be entitled to certain acceleration of such officer's outstanding unvested options at the time of such termination.

7. Income Taxes

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2011. The estimated effective tax rate may be subject to adjustment in subsequent quarterly periods as the estimates of pretax income for the year, along with other items that may affect the rate change.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company's provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of approximately 10.8% and 11.5%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company's provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of approximately 10.9% and 11.5%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company's effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to changes to its valuation allowance.

The Company has significant deferred tax assets related to its net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits, and has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of its deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that any future benefit from deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards will not be realized. This assessment requires judgment as to the likelihood and amounts of future taxable income by tax jurisdiction.

To date, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as it believes the objective and verifiable evidence of its historical pretax net losses outweighs the positive evidence of its current and forecasted future results of positive pre-tax income. Although the Company believes that its tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax determination involves significant judgment that is subject to audit by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. The Company will continue to monitor the positive and negative evidence and it will adjust the valuation allowance as sufficient objective positive evidence becomes available.

The Company had approximately $168,000 in unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2011. The Company does not expect to recognize any amount of the unrecognized tax benefit in the next twelve months, as the unrecognized income tax benefits relate to the uncertainty regarding certain credits taken on returns that have not been examined by the applicable tax authority. The Company's tax years 2007 through 2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. However, the Company is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdictions.

8. Stockholders' Equity

Reverse Stock Split

On April 5, 2010, the board of directors approved an amended and restated certificate of incorporation that (a) increased the authorized common stock to 40 million shares, (b) authorized 5 million shares of preferred stock and (c) effected a reverse stock split of all the outstanding shares of preferred stock and common stock into 0.352 of a share of preferred stock or common stock, respectively. The par value of the common and convertible preferred stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All issued and outstanding common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants for common stock and convertible preferred stock, and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented. The reverse stock split was effected on April 22, 2010.

Initial Public Offering

On May 4, 2010, the Company completed an initial public offering consisting of 5,132,728 shares of common stock at $9.00 per share.

In addition, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 769,909 shares to cover over-allotments. After deducting the payment of underwriters' discounts and commissions and offering costs, the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of shares in the offering were approximately $35.9 million.

Conversion of Common and Preferred Stock

Immediately prior to the closing of the Company's initial public offering, which occurred on May 4, 2010, each share of the Company's outstanding preferred and common stock was convertible into one share of undesignated common stock.

Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

Prior to the Company's completion of its initial public offering, freestanding warrants that were related to the Company's preferred stock were classified as liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. The warrants were subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of other income (expense). The Company recorded $454,000 of other income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $15,000 of other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to reflect the change in fair value of the preferred stock warrants during the period. Upon the closing of the initial public offering on May 4, 2010, all outstanding preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock and, accordingly, the liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Equity Incentive Plans

The Company has in effect equity compensation plans under which it has granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants. The incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options allow the holder to purchase shares of the Company's undesignated common stock, or Series P common stock prior to the Company's initial public offering, at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant except in the event of a business combination. The restricted stock units entitle the holder to receive shares of the Company's stock after a vesting requirement is satisfied. The fair value of each restricted stock award is estimated using the intrinsic value method which is based on the closing price on the date of grant. Compensation expense for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis net of estimated pre-vesting forfeitures.

2009 Stock Incentive Plan

During 2009, the board of directors approved resolutions to adopt the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) providing for the issuance of up to 580,096 shares of the Company's common stock to directors, employees, consultants and other independent advisors. The share reserve under the 2009 Plan contains an evergreen provision that allows for an annual increase on January 1 of each year equal to the lesser of (a) 4% of the aggregate outstanding shares on the first day of the applicable year and (b) any lesser amount determined by our board of directors. In January 2011, the board of directors approved an annual increase to the 2009 Plan share reserve of 4% of the 17,612,536 aggregate outstanding shares at December 31, 2010. Therefore, the total reserve was increased by 704,501 shares.

The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of restricted common stock, incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Pursuant to the 2009 Plan, the exercise price for incentive stock options is at least 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant, or for employees owning in excess of 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock, 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

In the event of a change in control, outstanding stock options and other awards that are payable in or convertible into common stock under the 2009 Plan will terminate upon the effective time of the change in control unless provision is made in connection with the transaction for the continuation or assumption of such awards by, or for the substitution of the equivalent awards under a cash incentive program. Fifty percent of the outstanding stock options and other awards that will terminate upon the effective time of the change in control shall become fully vested immediately before the effective time of the change in control or upon involuntary termination, in the case the participant has completed at least one year of service with the company prior to the change in control. Participants not completing at least one year of service shall only vest in that number of outstanding stock options and other awards in which the participant would have vested upon the participant's completion of one year of service.

As of June 30, 2011, 580,141 options and 412,902 restricted stock units had been granted from the 2009 Plan. Additionally, as of June 30, 2011, there were 336,207 shares available for future grant under the 2009 Plan.

Stock Options

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of its share-based payment awards. The Black-Scholes model requires estimates regarding the risk-free rate of return, dividend yields, expected life of the award and estimated forfeitures of awards during the service period. The calculation of expected volatility is based on historical volatility for comparable industry peer groups over periods of time equivalent to the expected life of each stock option grant. As the Company has limited history of trading in the public equity markets, the Company believes that comparable industry peer groups provide a more reasonable measurement of volatility in order to calculate an accurate fair value of each stock award. The expected term is calculated based on the weighted average of the remaining vesting term and the remaining contractual life of each award. The Company bases the estimate of risk-free rate on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant or modification. The Company has never paid cash dividends and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends and thus has assumed a dividend yield of zero.

The Company estimates potential forfeitures of stock grants and adjusts compensation cost recorded accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

9. Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Baigent Limited (“Baigent”), a privately owned company located in the United Kingdom (“UK”), to enter the international marketplace by adding the experience and expertise of a leading provider of digital strategy, design, technology implementation and online fundraising solutions to charities in the UK.

Baigent was acquired for approximately $2.9 million in cash. In addition, the Company agreed to pay up to $400,000 in additional cash consideration over the next three and a half years to certain employees of Baigent upon the achievement by Baigent of certain milestone-based objectives. Payments under these agreements are contingent upon the future employment of these Baigent employees.

The Company will record the purchase of Baigent using the acquisition method of accounting and will recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. The results of Baigent's operations will be included in the Company's consolidated results of operations beginning with the date of acquisition. The Company is currently evaluating the fair values of the consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities assumed and will complete its purchase price allocation in the third quarter of 2011.

Overview

We are a leading provider of on-demand constituent engagement solutions that enable nonprofit organizations (“NPOs”) to maximize the value of every relationship. With Convio constituent engagement solutions, NPOs can more effectively raise funds, advocate for change and cultivate relationships with donors, activists, volunteers, alumni and other constituents. We serve more than 1,500 NPOs of all sizes including 28 of the 50 largest charities as ranked by contributions in the November 2010 Forbes article entitled “The 200 Largest U.S. Charities.” During 2010, our clients used our solutions to raise more than $1.3 billion online and deliver over 4 billion emails to over 140 million email addresses to accomplish their missions. Our average deliverability rate for email was greater than 95%. In addition, NPOs used Convio advocacy applications to power more than 32.5 million advocacy actions to the United States Congress, State and Local elected officials as well as other targets of cause‑related campaigns. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our clients used our solutions to raise over $701 million in online donations. Factoring out transactions directly related to episodic events such as the earthquake in Japan in 2011 and the Haitian relief efforts in 2010, online fundraising increased by approximately 22% from the same period last year.
We were incorporated in Delaware in October 1999, and we offered our first commercially available online marketing solution in 2000. We acquired GetActive Software, Inc. (“GetActive”) in February 2007 and StrategicOne, LLC (“StrategicOne”) in January of 2011. On July 1, 2011, we acquired Baigent Limited (“Baigent”), a privately owned company located in the United Kingdom (“UK”), to enter the international marketplace by adding the experience and expertise of a leading provider of digital strategy, design, technology implementation and online fundraising solutions to charities in the UK.
Our Solutions
During the reported periods, our integrated solutions included our Convio Online Marketing platform (“COM”) and Common Ground, our constituent relationship management application, both of which are designed to help NPOs maximize the value of every relationship. COM enables NPOs to harness the full potential of the Internet and social media as new channels for constituent engagement and fundraising. Common Ground delivers next-generation donor management capabilities, integrates marketing activities across online and offline channels and is designed to increase operational efficiency.

19


Effective July 25, 2011, we rebranded COM as Luminate Online and also launched a new suite of solutions called Convio Luminate targeted at large, enterprise NPOs. As a result of this recent market launch, we now offer the following two open, cloud-based constituent engagement solutions for NPOs of all sizes:
Convio Luminate™ (“Luminate”) offers an open, extensible solution that allows large, enterprise NPOs to fully engage with individuals online and offline as well as analyze the relationships they have with donors, volunteers, advocates and other constituents to design tailored, integrated, multi-channel campaigns and interactions that are beneficial to both the NPO and the individual.
Luminate combines our leading online fundraising suite with the Force.com cloud computing application platform from salesforce.com, leading analytics technologies and our expertise to meet the complex needs of large, enterprise NPOs. Luminate can be sold as a single integrated solution encompassing both the Luminate Online suite and the Luminate CRM suite or, the Online and CRM suites can be sold separately. Luminate CRM clients will need to enter into a license agreement with us and separately enter into a license agreement with salesforce.com for use of its solution.

Convio Common Ground CRM™ (“Common Ground”) provides small and mid-sized NPOs with a simple, easy to use, complete and affordable system that combines a powerful database for donors, volunteers and other constituents with online fundraising, marketing and volunteer management modules so that NPO professionals can manage all their fundraising and constituent engagement operations from one solution. We utilize the Force.com cloud computing application platform from salesforce.com to develop, package and deploy Common Ground.
Our Luminate and Common Ground solutions are built on open, configurable and flexible architectures that enable our clients and partners to customize and extend its functionality. All of our software is delivered through the cloud computing model. We believe the cloud computing model is the most cost effective, efficient and scalable way for NPOs to use and manage technology to maximize the value of constituent relationships. Our solutions are enhanced by a portfolio of value-added services tailored to our clients' specific needs, as well as a network of technology and services partners that enhance our solutions.
Our Business Approach

We sell our solutions through a direct sales force complemented by our partner network. Our sales force is increasing its focus on acquiring a higher number of mid-market NPOs and expanding our footprint in large, enterprise NPOs.
Prior to adoption of ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (“ASU 2009-13”) services, when sold with a subscription of our modules, did not qualify for separate accounting as we did not have objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered subscription service. Therefore, we recognized such services revenue from these multiple-element agreements ratably over the term of the related subscription agreement and allocated subscription revenue and services revenue based on the stated contract price. If elements were not separately priced in the contract then the entire amount was allocated to subscription revenue. We will continue to recognize revenue on all services sold together with a subscription entered into prior to January 1, 2011 ratably over the remaining subscription period.
As a result of adopting ASU 2009-13, we account for services as a separate unit of account from subscriptions when each is sold in one arrangement. In accordance with ASU 2009-13, we allocate revenue to each element in an arrangement based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of selling price, if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price, if VSOE is not available, or best estimated selling price (“BESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. We have been unable to establish VSOE or TPE for the elements included in our multiple-element sales arrangements. Therefore, we have established the BESP for each element primarily by considering the average price of actual sales of services sold on a standalone basis, renewal pricing of subscription services, the number of modules purchased or renewed and the expected usage by the client over their subscription term, as well as other factors, including but not limited to market factors, management's pricing practices and growth strategies. Revenue allocated to the subscription is recognized over the subscription term and revenue allocated to services is recognized as the services are delivered.
The total arrangement fee for a multiple-element arrangement is allocated based on the relative BESP of each element. If the amount of the total arrangement consideration allocable to services under this method is greater than the fee stated in the contract for the delivery of such services, only the contractually-stated amount is recognized as revenue as the services are delivered to the client. The additional fees allocated to services above the amount stated in the contract are recognized ratably over the term of the subscription as that allocated fee becomes due.

20


We currently derive the substantial majority of our revenue from subscriptions to our COM solution. In July of 2011, we rebranded this offering as Luminate™ Online as part of a new constituent engagement solution for large, enterprise NPOs called Luminate™. Luminate can be sold as a single integrated solution encompassing both the Luminate Online suite and the Luminate CRM suite, or the Online and CRM suites can be sold separately. Pricing for our Luminate Online suite solution when sold separately is based on the number of modules licensed, the email list size and any related services. We also recognize usage revenue from our clients as a percentage of funds raised at special events, such as runs, walks and rides, and based on additional fees for their increased use of our Online solution.
Pricing for Common Ground is generally based on the modules purchased and the number of seats licensed. We typically do not derive revenue from deployment services for Common Ground as deployment activities are generally handled by third‑party implementation providers. Common Ground is built on salesforce.com's Force.com platform. Common Ground clients enter into a license agreement with us and separately enter into a license agreement with salesforce.com for use of its solution.
We believe the nonprofit market for on-demand constituent engagement solutions is large and under served, and we plan to continue to invest in our business to pursue this opportunity. In particular, we expect to incur significant sales and marketing expenses to increase the number of clients on both of our constituent engagement solutions, Luminate and Common Ground. We also expect to make substantial investments in research and development, primarily on new features, internationalization and platform extensibility for both of our solutions. We anticipate increased operating expenses as a result of becoming a public company and more generally as we seek to grow our business domestically and outside of the United States. We expect the percentage of revenue generated from clients outside the United States to increase.
Opportunities, Trends and Uncertainties

We have noted several opportunities, trends and uncertainties that we believe are significant to an understanding of our financial results:
Growth and investment in Luminate. We introduced the complete Luminate solution in July of 2011, targeted primarily at large enterprise NPOs. We intend to continue to invest significantly in Luminate research and development and sales and marketing. However, the complete Luminate solution is new and it is difficult for us to predict whether NPOs will adopt this solution or what impact it will have on our business. In addition, as we invest in significant upgrades or enhancements to our products to support Luminate, we may incur additional costs to develop internal use software that are capitalized under the applicable accounting guidance. Our capitalization of software development costs in future periods could cause our financial results to fluctuate and be more difficult to predict.
Seasonality and fluctuations in usage and services revenue. A significant portion of our usage revenue has historically been derived from funds raised by our Luminate Online (formerly COM) clients at special events. The growth and amount of usage revenue vary based on the number of events, the percent of funds raised online for these events, the growth and success of events and our signing of new clients for events. We recognize the usage revenue from these events when the usage amounts are determined, reported and billed to the client. Usage revenue is seasonal as events are typically held in the spring and fall. As a result, our usage revenue will be higher during the second and third quarters. In addition, period-over-period comparisons may be impacted significantly by the change in timing of events, by the addition or loss of any events of our enterprise clients or the loss of an enterprise client. Additionally, our services revenue is dependent upon the level of services required by our clients and the capacity of our services organization to deliver those services in any given period.  The level of services required varies significantly by client and is dependent upon, among other things, the solutions utilized by the client, the client's availability of internal resources to implement and utilize the solutions and the client's ability to pay for the services.  The capacity of our services organization may cause the amount of revenue recognized in any given period to fluctuate due to,  among other things, our ability to effectively schedule resources to meet client demands, turnover in our services organization, the time it takes to train new resources to deliver the services and staff availability and utilization rates. As a result, services revenue may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.
Sales commissions expensed upon sale. We expense sales commissions in the period in which we sign our agreements, but we generally recognize the related revenue over the terms of those agreements. We may report poor operating results due to higher sales commissions in a period in which we experience strong sales of our solutions, particularly sales to enterprise clients. Alternatively, we may report better operating results due to lower sales commissions in a period in which we experience a slowdown in sales. As a result, our sales and marketing expenses are difficult to predict and fluctuate as a percentage of revenue.

21



Churn. Our management uses churn to monitor the satisfaction of our clients, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and as a factor in executive compensation. We define churn as the amount of any lost software monthly recurring revenue and usage revenue in a period, divided by our software monthly recurring revenue at the beginning of the year plus our average usage revenue of the prior year. We had annual churn of 9.5% in 2010 which was lower than our annual churn in 2009 despite the retirement of our GetActive platform in December 2010 and we expect our annual churn performance to improve again in 2011. However, our churn is variable, especially on a quarterly basis, and accordingly churn is difficult to predict and can fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and will likely be significantly higher in any period in which we lose a large, enterprise client. Our use of churn has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation.
International Expansion.  An element of our growth strategy is to continue to expand our international operations beyond the United Kingdom and develop a worldwide client base.  To date, we have not realized a material portion of our revenue from clients outside of the Unites States.  However, beginning with our acquisition of Baigent in July 2011, we anticipate that the portion of our revenue generated from clients outside the United State will grow.  Operating in additional international markets involves increased complexity, requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks that are different from those in the Unites States, including among others: unexpected and more restrictive laws and regulations; multiple, conflicting and changing tax laws; the increased cost and complexity of managing and staffing international locations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and, difficulties with enforcing contracts and collecting receivables under foreign law.
Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Our most critical accounting policies are listed below:

Revenue recognition;
Allowance for doubtful accounts;
Marketable securities;
Valuation of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets;
Stock-based compensation; and
Income taxes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates, other than the adoption of ASU 2009-13. See “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition” in the notes to our financial statements for additional information regarding the impact of adopting ASU 2009-13. See our consolidated financial statements and footnotes and our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information about these critical accounting policies, as well as a description of our significant accounting policies.

Discussion of Financial Information

As noted above, we adopted ASU 2009-13 effective January 1, 2011. The eventual impact of adopting this standard is to better match services revenue with associated services expense. In accordance with ASU 2009-13, we will now report our revenue on three separate lines: subscription revenue, services revenue and usage revenue. Additionally, we will report our cost of revenue on two separate lines: cost of subscription and usage and cost of services. The components of each of these line items are discussed below.


22


Subscription Revenue. We derive a substantial amount of our revenue from multi-year subscription agreements with clients for licenses of our on-demand solutions. The terms of our agreements are typically three years for Luminate Online (formerly COM) and the integrated Luminate solution and one to two years for Common Ground. For Luminate Online (formerly COM), we typically agree to fees based on the number of modules licensed and email list size. For Common Ground, we typically agree to fees based on the modules purchased and the number of seats licensed by the client. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the later of the activation date or the date the client begins paying for the subscription.

Services Revenue. We generate revenue from sales of our deployment, consulting and professional services and with the addition of the StrategicOne services, we also provide data analytics, predictive modeling and other database marketing services. The Company prices fixed price service offerings based on the average level of effort expected to complete the work and the current hourly rates charged for time and materials contracts.

Usage Revenue. We have agreements in which we charge a percentage of funds raised by clients from their special events such as runs, walks and rides. Usage revenue occasionally includes a percentage of funds raised online that are unrelated to special events. Usage revenue is determined when donations are made online and is recognized when reported and billed to the client, which is normally done on a monthly basis. We typically enter into subscription agreements that require payment of additional fees for usage of our Luminate Online (formerly COM) solution above the levels included in the subscription fee set forth in the agreement. These fees are recognized when the usage amounts are reported and billed to clients.

Cost of subscription and usage. Cost of subscription and usage includes costs related to hosting our on-demand solutions. These costs consist of the salaries, incentive payments, bonuses and stock-based compensation of our information technology, client support and client education personnel and their related travel expenses. These costs also include third-party datacenter hosting fees, outside service provider costs, depreciation expense related to the hosting of our datacenters, amortization of costs capitalized for internal use software and allocated overhead. Note that the cost of client support and client education are included as a cost of subscription revenue as we do not typically charge separately for standard product support and training but rather offer those services as a standard part of our product offer.

In connection with our acquisition of GetActive, we recorded $3.0 million in acquired technology and we amortized this amount as a cost of subscription and usage revenue on a straight-line basis over three years ending in February 2010. During 2010, we completed the migration of our former GetActive clients to our Luminate Online (formerly COM) platform and we retired the GetActive platform in December 2010. In connection with our acquisition of StrategicOne's net assets, we recorded $1.8 million in intellectual property and we are amortizing this amount as a cost of subscription and usage revenue on a straight-line basis over three years beginning in February 2011.

Cost of services. Cost of services includes costs related to providing our deployment, consulting and professional services, including the costs associated with the newly acquired StrategicOne services. These costs consist of the salaries, incentive payments, bonuses and stock-based compensation of our deployment, consulting and professional services personnel and their related travel expenses. These costs also include third party contractor fees, equipment costs and allocated overhead.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income less interest income and gain (loss) on preferred stock warrant revaluation plus interest expense, provision for taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, stock‑based compensation expense and acquisition related transaction costs. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this quarterly report because (i) we believe Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in our industry as a measure of financial performance and (ii) our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to monitor the performance of our business.
We also believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures affecting interest income and expense, tax positions, such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense and the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations.

23


Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, acquisition related transaction costs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity‑based compensation;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on indebtedness;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and our other GAAP results. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated (unaudited):

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Subscription Revenue

Subscription revenue increased $555,000, or 4.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in subscription revenue was attributable to revenue recognized from sales of our solutions to new clients and from sales of additional products to existing clients.

Services Revenue

Services revenue increased $1.1 million, or 36.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. $539,000 of the increase in services revenue was attributable to revenue recognized from sales of our services to four large enterprise clients based on the deals we signed with them during 2010. $459,000 is attributable to our StrategicOne services offerings subsequent to the acquisition in January 2011. The remaining increase is attributable to sales of services to our other new and existing clients.

Usage Revenue

Usage revenue increased $816,000, or 21.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was attributable to a $766,000 increase in revenue from special events and a $50,000 increase in additional fees for client usage above the levels included in monthly subscription fees. The increase in usage revenue from special events was primarily due to the growth and success of our existing clients' events and the addition of events from new clients.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Subscription Revenue

Subscription revenue increased $951,000, or 4.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in subscription revenue was attributable to revenue recognized from sales of our solutions to new clients and from sales of additional products to existing clients.

Services Revenue

Services revenue increased $1.6 million, or 27.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. $991,000 of the increase in services revenue was attributable to revenue recognized from sales of our services to five large enterprise clients based on the deals we signed with them during 2010. $780,000 is attributable to our StrategicOne services offerings subsequent to the acquisition in January 2011. The remaining increase is attributable to sales of services to our other new and existing clients.

Usage Revenue

Usage revenue increased $1.4 million, or 23.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was attributable to a $1.4 million increase in revenue from special events, offset by a $15,000 decrease in additional fees for client usage above the levels included in monthly subscription fees. The increase in usage revenue from special events was primarily due to the growth and success of our existing clients' events and the addition of events from new clients. The decrease in additional fees for client usage above the levels included in monthly subscription fees is due primarily to the decrease in usage related to the high volume of transactions processed during the first three months of 2010 related to the Haitian relief efforts.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Cost of Subscription and Usage

Cost of subscription and usage increased $234,000, or 7.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to a $147,000 increase in amortization of acquired technology, an $80,000 increase in the amortization of costs capitalized for internal use software and an $83,000 increase in depreciation of assets used in our production hosting environment. These increases were offset by an $89,000 decrease in corporate bonuses. The amortization of acquired technology increased due to the StrategicOne acquisition in January 2011. In 2010 and the first half of 2011, certain expenses incurred to upgrade and enhance our internal development software qualified for capitalization and these costs were capitalized and began amortizing to cost of subscription and usage when those upgrades and enhancements were placed into service, leading to an increase in the amortization of costs capitalized for internal use software during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Prior to 2010, no costs had been capitalized related to internal use software. The increase in depreciation relates to increased capital expenditures for new servers and upgrades to existing servers to maintain our expanding client base. Bonuses decreased in the first half of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 as bonus attainment for upper level management was 75% in 2011 as compared to 100% in the prior year.

Cost of Services

Cost of services increased $953,000, or 28.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel costs of $728,000, contracting costs of $103,000, third-party service provider costs of $61,000 and travel expenses of $20,000. The increase in personnel costs and travel expenses was due primarily to the increase in services personnel as a result of the StrategicOne acquisition in January 2011. The increase in contracting costs was a result of the increased use of outside consultants to supplement services capacity. The StrategicOne acquisition also resulted in an increase in third-party service provider costs to support our new data analytics and predictive modeling services.

Gross Margin

Gross margins for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were 63.2% compared to gross margins of 64.8% for the same period in the prior year.  This decrease in gross margins reflects the increased mix of services from large deals entered into during 2010 and the StrategicOne acquisition as well as the amortization of costs capitalized for internal use software and acquired technology. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, when services were sold with a subscription, the services did not qualify for separate accounting and were recognized ratably over the term of the related subscription agreement. Since the related services and expenses are generally completed within the first few months of the subscription term, there was a mismatch of revenues and expenses which resulted in negative service margins. For contracts entered into after the adoption of ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011, service revenue is separately recognized from subscription revenue and is recorded when earned, so the timing of recognition of both revenues and expenses are more closely matched.

28


For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Cost of Subscription and Usage

Cost of subscription and usage increased $418,000, or 6.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to a $118,000 increase in amortization of acquired technology, a $145,000 increase in the amortization of costs capitalized for internal use software, a $122,000 increase in depreciation of assets used in our production hosting environment and a $75,000 increase in salaries due to merit increases. These increases were offset by a $57,000 decrease in corporate bonuses. The amortization of acquired technology increased due to the StrategicOne acquisition in January 2011. In 2010 and the first half of 2011, certain expenses incurred to upgrade and enhance our internal development software qualified for capitalization and these costs were capitalized and began amortizing to cost of subscription and usage when those upgrades and enhancements were placed into service, leading to an increase in the amortization of costs capitalized for internal use software during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Bonuses decreased in the first half of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 as bonus attainment for upper level management was 75% in 2011 as compared to 100% in the prior year.

Cost of Services

Cost of services increased $1.8 million, or 27.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to an increase in personnel costs of $1.3 million, contracting costs of $124,000, overhead costs of $82,000, third-party service provider costs of $79,000, travel expenses of $75,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $55,000. The increase in personnel costs, overhead costs and travel related expenses was due primarily to the increase in services personnel as a result of the StrategicOne acquisition in January 2011. The increase in miscellaneous expenses was attributable to costs related to client satisfaction and retention and the increase in contracting costs was a result of the increased use of outside consultants to supplement services capacity. The StrategicOne acquisition also resulted in an increase in third-party service provider costs to support our new data analytics and predictive modeling services.

Gross Margin

Gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were 61.5% compared to gross margins of 63.6% for the same period in the prior year. This decrease in gross margins reflects the increased mix of services from large deals entered into during 2010 and the StrategicOne acquisition as well as the amortization of costs capitalized for internal use software and acquired technology. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, when services were sold with a subscription, the services did not qualify for separate accounting and were recognized ratably over the term of the related subscription agreement.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Sales and marketing expenses increased $554,000, or 9.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is attributable to a $462,000 increase in salaries and benefits, a $171,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $171,000 increase in severance costs and a $64,000 increase in marketing programs. These increases were offset by a $235,000 decrease in commissions and a $117,000 decrease in contracting costs. The increase in salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense are all due to an increase in sales and marketing headcount. This increase in headcount also led to the reduction in contracting costs. The increase in severance costs was primarily attributable to the resignation of our vice president of sales during the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in commission expense was a result of three large enterprise deals entered into during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to one large enterprise deal entered into during the second quarter of 2011. As commissions are expensed at the time of sale, commission expenses are difficult to predict and fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. The increase in marketing program expenses was due to branding and marketing expenses for the Luminate launch and other marketing campaigns.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.2 million, or 10.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is attributable to a $812,000 increase in salaries and benefits, a $199,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $171,000 increase in severance costs, a $124,000 increase in marketing programs, an $85,000 increase in overhead as well as a $67,000 increase in travel. These increases were offset by a $147,000 decrease in commissions and a $141,000 decrease in contracting costs. The increase in salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, overhead and travel are all due to an increase in sales and marketing headcount. This increase in headcount also led to the reduction in contracting costs. The increase in severance costs was primarily attributable to the resignation of our vice president of sales during the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in commission expense was a result of three large enterprise deals entered into during the first half of 2010 as compared to two large enterprise deals entered into during the first half of 2011.

Research and development expenses decreased $43,000, or 1.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was attributable to a $355,000 increase in personnel costs offset by a $404,000 increase in the amount of expenses incurred to upgrade and enhance our internal use software that qualified for capitalization. The increases in personnel costs are a result of increased headcount. The increase in capitalized internal use software was due to the investment in our new Luminate constituent engagement solution.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Research and development expenses increased $207,000, or 4.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was attributable to a $697,000 increase in personnel costs, a $77,000 increase in overhead costs and a $26,000 increase in equipment. These costs were partially offset by a $607,000 increase in the amount of expenses incurred to upgrade and enhance our internal use software that qualified for capitalization. The increases in personnel, equipment and overhead costs are a result of increased headcount and investment in product development. The increase in capitalized internal use software was due to the investment in our new Luminate constituent engagement solution.

General and administrative expenses increased $759,000, or 48.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to a $447,000 increase in personnel costs, which includes a $223,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $265,000 increase in contracting and professional services expense and a $98,000 increase in recruiting and travel expenses. These costs were partially offset by a decrease of $61,000 in bad debt expense. The increase in personnel costs, recruiting and travel expenses was primarily due to the increase in headcount in 2011 as the company continues to grow. Personnel costs also increased due to the fact that our executive officers elected not to receive merit increases in 2010 whereas their 2011 merit increases went into effect during the first quarter of 2011. Their 2011 compensation packages, which included the merit increases, were recommended by our external consultants and approved by the compensation committee. The increase in contracting and professional services expense was attributable to increased costs from increased audit fees, professional fees incurred in conjunction with the Baigent acquisition in July 2011 and an increase in fees associated with the adoption of ASU 2009-13. The provision for bad debt decreased in 2011 due to our increased collections of past due accounts receivable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

General and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million, or 40.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to a $557,000 increase in personnel costs, which includes a $228,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $551,000 increase in contracting and professional services expense and a $152,000 increase in recruiting and travel expenses. These costs were partially offset by a decrease of $125,000 in bad debt expense. The increase in personnel costs, recruiting and travel expenses was primarily due to the increase in headcount in 2011 as the company continues to grow. Personnel costs also increased due to the fact that our executive officers elected not to receive merit increases in 2010 whereas their 2011 merit increases went into effect during the first quarter of 2011. Their 2011 compensation packages, which included merit increases, were recommended by our external consultants and approved by the compensation committee. The increase in contracting and professional services expense was attributable to increased costs of becoming a public company, including increased audit, tax and legal fees, an increase in stock transfer agent fees, an increase in fees for external executive compensation consultants, professional fees incurred in conjunction with the StrategicOne acquisition in January 2011, the Baigent acquisition in July 2011 and an increase in fees associated with the adoption of ASU 2009-13. The provision for bad debt decreased in 2011 due to our increased collections of past due accounts receivable.

These amounts represent the amortization of intangibles recorded in connection with our acquisitions of GetActive in February 2007 and the net assets of StrategicOne in January 2011 and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. While a portion of the intangible assets related to the GetActive acquisition became fully amortized in February 2010, the related decrease was partially offset by the increase in amortization related to the addition of the StrategicOne intangibles.

Interest income increased $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to the interest income earned on the proceeds of our initial public offering, which we invested in money market funds and marketable securities. Interest expense decreased $52,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to the decrease in our average outstanding debt as a result of repaying the balance of our line of credit with Comerica with a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Interest income increased $32,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the interest income earned on the proceeds of our initial public offering, which we invested in money market funds and marketable securities. Interest expense decreased $115,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the decrease in our average outstanding debt as a result of repaying the balance of our line of credit with Comerica with a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, other income (expense) was comprised primarily of the change in fair value of our convertible preferred stock warrants issued in 2005. During the first quarter of 2010, we recorded an expense of $469,000 as the liability with respect to the warrants increased, and we recorded the corresponding increase in fair value. On May 4, 2010, immediately prior to the effectiveness of our initial public offering, we recorded a final fair value adjustment based upon the offering price of $9.00 per share and recorded other income of $454,000. Upon the closing of the offering, all outstanding preferred stock warrants were converted into warrants to purchase common stock and, accordingly, the liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. We expect other income and expense to be minimal in future periods.

We recorded a tax provision for federal alternative minimum taxes and state income taxes totaling $161,000 and $154,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to a provision of $221,000 and $245,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Our effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal tax rate primarily due to changes in our recorded valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We assess the likelihood that deferred tax

32


assets will be realized, and we recognize a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment requires judgment as to the likelihood and amounts of future taxable income by tax jurisdiction. To date, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as it believes the objective and verifiable evidence of its historical pretax net losses outweighs the positive evidence of its current and forecasted future results of positive pre-tax income.

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax determination involves significant judgment that is subject to audit by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. We will continue to monitor the positive and negative evidence and we will adjust the valuation allowance as sufficient objective positive evidence becomes available.

Net Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

We recorded net income of $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1.3 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in net income for these periods was primarily the result of our increased investment in sales, marketing and research and development efforts, acquisition related costs and the fact that we are incurring higher costs associated with being a public company.

Liquidity and capital resources

Prior to our initial public offering in May 2010 in which we raised net proceeds of approximately $35.9 million, we financed our operations primarily through the private sale of equity securities and debt financings. Since May 2010, our principal source of liquidity has been cash flows from operations offset by capital expenditures, or free cash flow. As of June 30, 2011, we had $10.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $39.2 million of marketable securities and $43.7 million of working capital excluding deferred revenue. Our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in cash, money market funds, corporate bonds and commercial paper. Our marketable securities are primarily held in U.S. government agency bonds, corporate bonds and commercial paper.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated $429,000 of cash from operating activities, which consisted of our net income of $1.3 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $3.7 million. In addition, cash inflows of $1.3 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $1.2 million increase in accounts payable due to timing of receipt and payment of invoices and a $123,000 decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets. Cash outflows of $5.8 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $3.9 million increase in accounts receivable as a result of an increase in our days sales outstanding, a $474,000 decrease in accrued liabilities as a result of the timing of the receipt of invoices and payments and the increase in public company costs and acquisition related costs, and a $1.5 million decrease in deferred revenue as the mix of quarterly billings relative to annual billings continues to increase. Additionally, prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, when services were sold with a subscription, the services did not qualify for separate accounting and were recognized ratably over the term of the related subscription agreement. For contracts entered into after the adoption of ASU 2009-13 on January 1, 2011, service revenue is separately recognized from subscription revenue and is recorded when earned, resulting in lower deferred revenue balances.

Cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by approximately $2.5 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 and was driven primarily by the increase in expenses as compared to the same period in 2010 as well as an increase in our days sales outstanding, which fluctuates based on the timing of billings and collections, particularly large annual billings.

33



During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we generated $2.9 million of cash from operating activities, which consisted of our net income of $1.9 million, non-cash charges of $2.8 million and cash inflows of $754,000. These amounts were partially offset by $2.5 million of cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The cash inflows were primarily attributable to a $501,000 decrease in accrued liabilities due to timing of payments and a $253,000 decrease in accounts receivable as a result of a decrease in our days sales outstanding. The cash outflows were attributable to a $236,000 increase in prepaid expenses primarily as a result of the payment of annual premiums for our expanded public company directors and officers liability insurance, a decrease in accounts payable of $59,000 due to the timing of payments and a decrease in deferred revenue of $2.2 million as a result of the timing of transactions and various sales promotions offered during 2009 and 2010 which resulted in deferred payments.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily the result of purchases of marketable securities of $24.6 million, cash utilized in the StrategicOne acquisition of $4.4 million, an increase in capitalization of software development costs incurred to upgrade and enhance our internal use software of $607,000 and an increase in capital expenditures of $174,000, offset by sales of marketable securities of $10.9 million and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $10.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was comprised solely of capital expenditures of $990,000 and capitalized software development costs of $463,000.

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of the $35.9 million net proceeds we received from the sale of stock in our initial public offering in May 2010, the $965,000 increase in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and a $2.2 million decrease in payments on long-term debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we used $83,000 worth of shares to settle withholding taxes on employee vesting of restricted shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we generated $33.9 million of cash from financing activities which consisted primarily of the net proceeds we received from the sale of stock in our initial public offering of $35.9 million and $190,000 in proceeds we received from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $2.2 million used to repay our line of credit with Comerica.

Capital Resources

We believe that our cash flows from operations and our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may elect to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility to develop or enhance our services, to fund expansion, to respond to competitive pressures or to acquire complementary products, businesses or technologies. If we elect, additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments disclosures as set forth under the caption, “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

Interest Rate Risk

We had cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million and $18.4 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These amounts are held primarily in cash, money market funds, corporate bonds and commercial paper. In addition we had marketable securities of $39.2 million and $36.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which were primarily held in U.S. government agency bonds, corporate bonds and commercial paper. We do not hold any auction-rate securities. Cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Marketable securities are held and invested with capital preservation as the primary objective. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. Any declines in interest rates will reduce future interest income. If overall interest rates fell by 10% in the six months ended June 30, 2011, our interest income would not have been materially affected.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are not subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We bill our clients in U.S. dollars and receive payment in U.S. dollars, and substantially all of our operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. As we integrate Baigent and grow sales of our solutions outside the United States, our contracts with foreign clients may be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and we may become subject to changes in currency exchange rates.

Item 4. Controls and procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, company management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.


35


Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every company that files reports with the SEC to include a management report on such company's internal control over financial reporting in its annual report. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to our internal control over financial reporting. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 did not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by SEC rules applicable to newly public companies. Management will be required to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. We believe we have adequate resources and expertise, both internal and external, in place to meet this requirement. However, there is no guarantee that our efforts will result in management's ability to conclude, or our independent registered public accounting firm to attest, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2011.

Since fiscal year 2010, we have implemented internal controls to enable us to make reasonably dependable estimates for BESP of the elements within an arrangement. With the adoption of ASU 2009-13 the Company has established processes to determine BESP, allocate revenue in multiple-element arrangements using BESP, and make reasonably dependable estimates using a proportional performance method for services.

There were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.




36


PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of the Company's business, the Company from time to time becomes involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable. The Company periodically assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters, based upon the latest information available. Should it be probable that the Company has incurred a loss and the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated, the Company will record reserves in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to the probable outcome and/or amount or range of loss, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of a liability, and therefore no reserve will be recorded. As additional information becomes available, the Company will adjust its assessment and estimates of such liabilities accordingly.  Further, as the costs and outcomes of these types of matters can vary significantly, including with respect to whether they ultimately result in litigation, the Company believes its past experiences are not sufficient to provide any additional visibility or predictability to reasonably estimate the additional loss or range of loss that may result, if any. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes that an estimate of an additional loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time for contingencies for which there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of the Company's liabilities and contingencies could be at amounts that are different from any recorded reserves and that such differences could be material.

Item 1A. Risk factors

Reference is made to the factors set forth under the caption “Cautionary Statement” in Part I, Item 2 of this report and other risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are incorporated herein by reference, subject to the following modified and new risk factors:
Our business depends on our clients' renewing and expanding their subscriptions for our solutions. Any decline in our client renewals and expansions would reduce our revenue.
        We sell solutions pursuant to agreements that are generally three years in length for our online marketing solutions and one to two years in length for Common Ground. We anticipate that Convio Luminate will be offered pursuant to agreements that are generally three years in length. Our clients have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our solutions after the expiration of their initial subscription period. Our client renewal rates may decline or fluctuate and our client cancellation rates may increase or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the following:
a client switches to a competitor or competitive point applications;
a client terminates its agreement with us due to employee turnover in the client organization;
a client is dissatisfied with our agreement terms;
a client encounters financial difficulties;
our solutions do not continue to fit a client's needs as they evolve; and
our client has a poor service experience with our partners or us.
        If clients do not renew their agreements, our revenue will decline and our operating results will be adversely affected.
        We seek to grow our business by expanding the products and services our clients buy from us as their needs evolve. However, if our clients fail to buy additional products and services from us, the growth of our business will be harmed. Further, if our clients elect to subscribe to a fewer number of products upon renewal with us, our business will be harmed.
        Some of our agreements also provide that our clients may terminate their agreements for convenience after a specified period of time. Some of our agreements allow a client to cancel during the first year of such client's initial subscription for our solutions for performance-related reasons. If our clients terminate their agreements with us, our revenue will grow more slowly than expected or even decline, and we may not be able to maintain profitability. Further, if a client seeks to terminate its agreement with us, we may not be successful in enforcing, or we may not elect to enforce, our agreement with the client.
        We serve a broad range of NPOs, the less established of which may be subject to a higher rate of insolvency or may have limited durations due to the underlying causes that they support, such as political campaigns. We are generally not able to perform financial due diligence on the creditworthiness of our prospective clients, and we may not accurately predict a client's creditworthiness. As a result, if we are unable to collect from our clients, our revenue and cash flows could be less than what we expect.

37


Because we expense commissions associated with sales of our solutions immediately upon execution of a subscription agreement with a client and generally recognize the revenue associated with such sale over the term of the agreement, our operating income in any period may not be indicative of our financial health and future performance.
        We expense commissions paid to our sales personnel in the period in which we enter into an agreement for the sale of our solutions. In contrast, we generally recognize the revenue associated with a sale of our solutions ratably over the term of the subscription agreement, which is typically three years for our online solutions and one to two years for Common Ground. We anticipate that Luminate will be offered pursuant to agreements that are generally three years in length. Although we believe increased sales is a positive indicator of the long-term health of our business, increased sales, particularly sales to enterprise clients, would increase our operating expenses and decrease earnings in any particular period. Thus, we may report poor operating results due to higher sales commissions in a period in which we experience strong sales of our solutions. Alternatively, we may report better operating results due to the reduction of sales commissions in a period in which we experience a slowdown in sales. Therefore, you should not rely on our operating income during any one quarter as an indication of our financial health and future performance.
We anticipate that our constituent engagement solutions, Common Ground and Luminate, will help us to grow our business, but if NPOs do not adopt these solutions, the growth in our revenue could be limited and our business harmed.
        We introduced our Common Ground application in September 2008, which was historically targeted primarily at mid-market NPOs. In December 2010, we introduced an online fundraising and marketing engine directly integrated with Common Ground. In July 2011, we introduced our new solution, Convio Luminate, which is targeted at large, enterprise NPOs. Thus we now offer two distinct constituent engagement solutions, Common Ground for the small and mid-market NPOs and Luminate for large, enterprise NPOs. We expect to increase our spending on research and development and sales and marketing to expand the number of both Common Ground and Luminate clients and the revenue we generate from these clients.
Common Ground and Luminate are new and evolving products, and if NPOs do not continue to adopt them, then our business will have difficulty growing and will be harmed. We believe that acceptance and adoption of these solutions by NPOs will be dependent upon, among other things, their functional breadth, quality, ease of use, performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness. Even if the advantages of these solutions over legacy solutions are established, we are unable to predict to what extent they will be adopted in the marketplace.
We plan on releasing more functionality for our Common Ground application. The introduction of these new features may replace sales of our legacy online marketing solution, particularly in the mid-market, which could offset the benefits of a successful feature introduction. This could also harm our operating results by decreasing sales of our higher priced solution, exposing us to greater risk of decreased revenues.
As we market our new Luminate solution to the enterprise market, there is no guarantee that the large enterprise NPOs will adopt Luminate or that the features will prove to be useful for this market. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our ability to compete effectively and cause us to lose existing clients or fail to sell our solutions to new clients. Any or all of the above occurrences could harm our business and results of operations.
We do not have any control over the availability or performance of salesforce.com's Force.com platform, and if we or our clients encounter problems with it, we may be required to replace Force.com with another platform, which would be difficult and costly.
        Common Ground and Luminate CRM run on salesforce.com's Force.com platform, and we do not have any control over the Force.com platform or the prices salesforce.com charges to our NPO clients. Salesforce.com may discontinue or modify Force.com. Salesforce.com could also increase its fees or modify its pricing incentives for NPOs. If salesforce.com takes any of these actions, we may suffer lower sales, increased operating costs and loss of revenue from Common Ground and Luminate CRM until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available from a third party, is identified, obtained and integrated. Additionally, we may not be able to honor commitments we have made to our clients and we may be subject to breach of contract or other claims from our clients.
        In addition, we do not control the performance of Force.com. If Force.com experiences an outage, Common Ground and Luminate CRM will not function properly, and our clients may be dissatisfied with our Common Ground and Luminate CRM applications. If salesforce.com has performance or other problems with its Force.com platform, they will reflect poorly on us and the adoption and renewal of our Common Ground and Luminate CRM applications and our business may be harmed.

38


Interruptions, delays or security breaches at third-party datacenters, third-party infrastructure providers or by our payment processors could impair the delivery of our solutions and harm our reputation and business.
We host a portion of our solutions from a third-party datacenter located in Austin, Texas. Additionally, we use certain other third-party providers of infrastructure, such as virtual servers and other cloud computing resources. Any interruptions or problems at such datacenter or other providers would likely result in significant disruptions in our solutions hosted at or affected by such site. We do not control the operation of such datacenter or other providers, and each is vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. Such datacenter and other providers are also subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct. Despite precautions at such third party locations, the occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, a security breach, a decision to close the datacenter or such provider without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems such as work stoppages could result in interruptions or delays in our solutions. Any interruption or delays in our solutions could harm our reputation, increase out operating costs and cause us to breach commitments to our clients. Such datacenter and other providers have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew our agreements with the datacenter and other providers on commercially reasonable terms, we may experience costs or downtime in connection with the transfer to new third-party providers.
        In addition, we rely on third-party providers for payment processing of funds contributed to our clients by their constituents. Such third-party providers have experienced significant downtime in the past due to high transaction volumes and may experience similar downtime in the future. Although substantially all of our subscription agreements do not provide service level commitments relating to payment processing services provided by third parties, any interruptions in our solutions may cause harm to our reputation, cause clients to terminate their subscription agreements and harm our renewal rates.
We rely on third-party software in our solutions that may be difficult or costly to replace or which could cause errors or failures and harm our reputation.
        We rely on software licensed from third parties in order to offer our solutions, including database software from Oracle Corporation. The third-party software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any necessary third-party software could result in delays in the provisioning of our solutions until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our reputation, increase our operating costs and cause us to breach commitments to our clients. Any errors or defects in third-party software could result in errors or a failure of our solutions which could harm our reputation, be costly to correct and cause us to breach commitments to our clients. Many of our third-party providers attempt to impose limitations on their liability for errors, defects, or failures in their hardware, software, or services, which we are required to pass through to our clients. Those limitations may or may not be enforceable, and we may have liability to our clients or providers that could harm our reputation and increase our operating costs.
We provide service level commitments to our clients, which could cause us to issue credits for future products and services if the stated service levels are not met for a given period and could significantly harm our reputation and operating results.
        We provide service level commitments in our subscription agreements. Our transaction volumes are erratic, and our volumes spike significantly during large special events or major occurrences such as natural disasters. High transaction volumes can cause delays in response times. If we are unable to meet stated service level commitments, we may be contractually obligated or choose to provide clients with refunds or credits for future products and services. While we provide these service level commitments in our subscription agreements, we may not receive credits from our third-party providers sufficient to cover our obligations to our clients, and therefore we may not be able to recover fully from our third-party datacenter and other third-party providers any refunds or credits that we provide to our clients. Our revenue could also be adversely affected if we suffer unscheduled downtime that exceeds the allowed downtimes under our agreements with our clients. Any service outages could harm our reputation, decrease our revenue and increase our operating costs.

If we are not able to develop enhancements to, and new features for, our existing solutions or acceptable new products and services that keep pace with technological developments, we may lose clients or fail to sell our solutions to new clients.
        We intend to develop or license our new solutions as well as enhancements to and new features for our existing solutions to keep pace with rapid technological developments and to improve our solutions. The success of such new solutions, enhancements, new features and services depends on several factors, including their timely completion, the license on acceptable terms of software from third parties and the introduction and market acceptance of such enhancements, features or services. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our ability to compete effectively and cause us to lose existing clients or fail to sell our solutions to new clients. In addition, because the software underlying our solutions is designed to operate on a variety of network hardware and software platforms using a standard browser, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our solutions to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies. We may not be successful in either developing these modifications and enhancements or bringing them to market in a timely manner. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or technologies could increase our research and development expenses. Any failure of our solutions to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our solutions.
Our solutions, and in particular our Common Ground and Luminate applications, may contain errors or defects, negatively affecting their adoption which may cause us to lose clients and reimburse fees.
        Our solutions are novel and complex and, accordingly, may contain undetected errors or failures when first introduced or as new enhancements are released. This may result in the loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our new solutions. We have in the past discovered software errors in our solutions and new solutions after their introduction. We have experienced delays in release, lost revenues and customer frustration during the period required to correct these errors. We may in the future discover errors and scalability limitations in new solutions after they become available or be required to compensate customers for such limitations or errors. In addition, our clients may use our solutions in unanticipated ways that may cause a disruption in our solutions for other clients. Since our clients use our solutions for mission-critical processes, any errors, defects or disruptions in, or other performance problems with, the software underlying our solutions could harm our reputation and may damage our clients' activities. If that occurs, clients could elect not to renew or delay or withhold payment to us, we could lose future sales and clients may make claims against us.
The market in which we operate is intensely competitive, and our failure to compete successfully would cause our revenue and market share to decline.
        The market in which we operate is fragmented, competitive and rapidly evolving, and there are limited barriers to entry for some aspects of this market. Competitive pressures can adversely impact our business by limiting the prices we can charge our clients and making the adoption and renewal of our solutions more difficult. With COM, now Luminate Online, we compete with several online marketing solutions and a variety of point applications targeted at tasks such as email marketing, content management and fundraising event management. With Common Ground and Luminate CRM, we compete with generic database providers, as well as industry-specific donor management solutions. Some of our competitors are focused exclusively on the nonprofit industry while others sell to NPOs among a broader set of target industries. Our primary competitors are Blackbaud, Inc., The Sage Group plc and SofterWare, Inc. In addition, we compete with a variety of smaller, private companies, and also with custom web development providers, which provide custom in-house applications. Any of these competitors could take actions that adversely affect our business.
Other larger potential competitors, such as Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation and salesforce.com, Inc., could make acquisitions or develop solutions to establish or expand their presence in the nonprofit market. Smaller competitors, such as those providing open source solutions, web development services and content management, email marketing and other point tools, may strengthen their offerings through internal development or acquisitions and enhance their respective ability to compete. Other competitors have established or strengthened cooperative relationships with strategic partners serving the nonprofit market, thereby limiting our ability to promote our solutions and the number of partners available to help market our products and services. These competitive pressures could cause our revenue and market share to decline.

We depend on our direct sales force and our partner network for sales and deployments of our solutions and, if we do not attract and retain our sales personnel or maintain our partner relationships, our revenue may not grow and our business could be harmed.
        We depend primarily on our direct sales force to obtain new clients and to manage our client base. There is significant competition for direct sales personnel with the advanced sales skills and technical knowledge that sales of our solutions require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient numbers of direct sales personnel.
We complement our direct sales personnel with a network of partners serving the nonprofit market, including interactive agencies, direct marketing agencies, public affairs firms and complementary technology companies. Our partner network helps us grow our client base and, we believe, enables us to provide more complete solutions for our clients. If our partners fail to increase awareness of our solutions or to assist us in gaining access to decision-makers at NPOs, then we may need to increase our marketing expenses, change our marketing strategy or enter into marketing relationships with different parties, any of which could impair our ability to generate increased revenue. Our typical partner agreement is not exclusive and our partners may choose not to promote sales of our solutions. If we do not maintain and increase our partner relationships, our revenue may not grow and could decline.
We also rely on third-party implementation providers whom we recommend to our clients to deploy our solutions. In the case of Common Ground, to date we have relied primarily on third-party implementation providers to provide deployment services. Any failure to perform, unprofessional conduct, delays or difficulties with the deployment on the part of such third-party implementation providers may require us to perform these services ourselves and may reflect poorly on our reputation and the marketability of our solutions, which could harm our business and results of operations. Our agreements with these third-party implementation providers do not obligate them to continue to deploy our solutions. Our clients either enter into agreements directly with us or alternatively with the third-party implementation providers, so we have limited ability to seek recourse from them if deployment issues arise with clients.
If the security of the software or systems underlying our solutions is breached, our reputation could be harmed and our operating costs could increase.
Fundamental to the use of our products and services is the secure collection, storage and transmission of constituent information. Unauthorized third parties have periodically attempted to attack our system, and we have had security breaches in the past. We regularly upgrade our security technologies, policies and programs. However, we expect third parties to continue to attempt to attack our system in the future with increasing sophistication. If a third party breaches our security, that of our clients or that of our third-party datacenter, payment processing partners and other third-party providers, our business could be harmed. It could result in misappropriation of proprietary information or interruptions in operations. We might be liable to our clients or their constituents for damages from breaches of security, and clients could seek to terminate their agreements with us. A breach could also harm our reputation and increase our operating costs, particularly any breach resulting in the imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage. We might be required to expend significant capital and other resources to notify and communicate with state and federal regulatory agencies and affected clients and their constituents, provide credit monitoring or other protections, protect further against security breaches or to rectify problems caused by any security breach. Any of these results would be harmful to our business.
If we are not able to integrate StrategicOne, Baigent or any future acquisitions successfully, our operating results and prospects could be harmed.
 In January 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of StrategicOne and have integrated most of their operations. In July 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding share capital of Baigent. In the future we may pursue additional acquisitions of businesses to complement our existing business. We cannot assure you that our acquisition of StrategicOne, Baigent or that any acquisition we make in the future, will provide us with the benefits we anticipated in entering into the transaction. Our acquisitions of StrategicOne and Baigent are, and any acquisitions we do in the future will be, accompanied by a number of risks, including:
difficulties in retaining key employees and clients and in integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies;
difficulties in maintaining acceptable standards, controls, procedures and policies;
potential disruption of ongoing business and distraction of management;
inability to maintain relationships with clients of the acquired business;
impairment of relationships with employees and clients as a result of any integration of new management and other personnel;
difficulties in incorporating acquired technology and rights into our products and services;

41


unexpected expenses resulting from the acquisition;
potential intellectual property or other litigation if we do not consummate an acquisition;
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses; and
additional legal, regulatory or other compliance requirements applicable to the acquired businesses.
        In addition, acquisitions may result in the incurrence of debt, restructuring charges and write-offs, such as write-offs of acquired in-process research and development. We also may not be able to recognize as revenue the deferred revenue of an acquired company. Acquisitions may result in goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to impairment tests, which could result in future impairment charges. Furthermore, if we finance future acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity securities our existing stockholders may be diluted and earnings per share may decrease. To the extent we finance future acquisitions with debt, such debt could include financial or operational covenants that restrict our business operations.
        We may enter into negotiations for acquisitions that are not ultimately consummated. Those negotiations could result in diversion of management time and significant out-of-pocket costs. If we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions successfully, we may not be able to realize the benefits of these acquisitions, and our operating results could be harmed.
We have established our first international subsidiary, which subjects us to additional business risks including increased logistical and financial complexity and currency fluctuations.
 
As a result of our acquisition of Baigent in the United Kingdom, we have established our first international subsidiary and entered our first international market. We may not be able to maintain or increase market demand for Baigent's products. Baigent's operations are subject to a number of risks, including:
increased complexity and costs of managing international operations and related tax obligations;
multiple, conflicting and changing tax and other laws and regulations that may impact both our international and domestic tax and other liabilities and result in increased complexity and costs;
the risk that we are unsuccessful selling our products and services in the United Kingdom;
the risk that we are unable to successfully use Baigent's experience and reputation to accelerate entry into the United Kingdom market;
the risk that our acquisition of Baigent will cause disruptions in Baigent's or our business or customer relationships;
regulatory, foreign exchange and other risks associated with entry into the United Kingdom market;
risks associated with modifying our products and services for sale and delivery in foreign jurisdictions;
the risk of litigation or other claims by public or private entities or persons related to the acquisition generally or related to the products, services, personnel or operations of the combined company;
the risk related to competitive responses to the acquisition;
the risk that we are unable able to protect our or Baigent's intellectual property rights in the United Kingdom or elsewhere;
the risks related to our and Baigent's reliance on third parties for products and provision of services;
the need to have business and operations systems that can meet the needs of our international business and operating structure;
risks associated with maintaining the security of client and donor data obtained through international accounts;
risks associated with unfamiliar and more restrictive laws and regulations, including those governing Internet activities, email messaging, collection and use of personal information, solicitations of charitable contributions and other activities important to our business; and
risks associated with supporting an international client base primarily using USA based infrastructure, including the risk of interrupted or slow connectivity between international clients and USA based servers.

To date, all of our sales to customers have been denominated in U.S. dollars. Historically, Baigent has denominated and we expect it to continue to denominate all of its costs and expenses in pounds sterling. As a result, we will incur risk associated with fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and pounds sterling.

42


If we continue to expand our international operations, our expansion may subject us to risks that may increase our operating costs.
        An element of our growth strategy is to continue to expand our international operations beyond the United Kingdom and develop a worldwide client base. To date, we have not realized a material portion of our revenue from clients outside the United States. However, beginning with our acquisition of Baigent in July 2011, we anticipate that the portion of our revenue generated from clients outside the United States will grow. Operating in additional international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks that are different from those in the United States and the United Kingdom. Because of our limited experience with international operations, we cannot assure you that our international expansion efforts will be successful. In addition, we will face risks in doing business internationally that could increase our operating costs, including:
economic conditions in various parts of the world;
unexpected and more restrictive laws and regulations, including those laws governing Internet activities, email messaging, collection and use of personal information, ownership of intellectual property, solicitation of charitable contributions and other activities important to our online business practices;
new and different sources of competition;
multiple, conflicting and changing tax laws and regulations that may affect both our international and domestic tax liabilities and result in increased complexity and costs;
if we were to establish international offices, the difficulty of managing and staffing such international offices and the increased travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with multiple international locations;
the need to make capital expenditures in foreign jurisdictions;
difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable, especially in developing countries;
if contracts become denominated in local currency, fluctuations in exchange rates; and
tariffs and trade barriers, import/export controls and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell or develop our products in certain foreign markets.
        If we decide to further expand our business globally, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with future international operations. Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could increase our operating costs.
Our management will continue to have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds raised in our recent initial public offering and might not apply the proceeds in ways that may enhance our operating results or the price of our common stock.
        Our management will continue to have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from our recent initial public offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Our management might not apply the net proceeds of the initial public offering in ways that increase the value of your investment. On May 12, 2010, we used $1.9 million of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to retire all the outstanding debt under the revolving line of credit and the term loan with Comerica Bank. On January 28, 2011, we used approximately $4.9 million of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to acquire StrategicOne. On July 1, 2011, we used approximately $2.9 million of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to acquire Baigent. We anticipate that we will use the remaining net proceeds from the initial public offering for general corporate purposes. We may use a portion of the proceeds to expand our business through acquisitions or investigations in other complimentary businesses, particularly those with similar clients and adjacent products or technologies, however, we have no agreements or commitments with respect to any acquisitions at this time. Our management might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of these net proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how the net proceeds of the initial public offering are used.

Item 2. Unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds

On April 28, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-164491) was declared effective for our initial public offering. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with the SEC on April 29, 2010. On May 12, 2010, we used $1.9 million of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to retire all the outstanding debt under the revolving line of credit and the term loan with Comerica Bank. On January 28, 2011, we used approximately $4.9 million of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to acquire StrategicOne. On July 1, 2011, we used approximately $2.9 million of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to acquire Baigent. We anticipate that we will use the remaining net proceeds from the initial public offering for general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the proceeds to expand our current business through acquisitions or investments in other complementary businesses, particularly those with similar clients and adjacent products or technologies, however, we have no agreements or commitments with respect to any acquisitions at this time. The amount and timing of what we actually spend may vary significantly and will depend on a number of factors, including our future revenue and cash generated by operations as well as the other factors described in the section titled "Risk Factors." Pending the use of the net proceeds from the initial public offering described above, we invested the funds in a registered money market account and in marketable securities.
