NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iPass Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The December 31, 2011 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim period presented. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results that the Company experiences may differ materially from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to the valuation of accounts receivables, other long-lived assets, network access costs, stock-based compensation, legal contingencies, and income taxes.

The Company reports comprehensive loss in a single continuous financial statement within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company’s comprehensive loss is equivalent to its net loss because the Company does not have any transactions that are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Note 2. Fair Value

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal or most advantageous market between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

   

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

   

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The recurring fair value measurements of these financial assets (excluding cash) and nonfinancial liabilities were determined using the following inputs at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

(1) Held in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2) Lease liabilities are recorded at fair value and are included as liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease liabilities were recorded in connection with lease abandonment plans implemented in 2009 (see Note 7 for further discussion of restructuring plans). Management made assumptions in determining the fair value of the lease liabilities. The discounted cash flow valuation technique used to determine fair value included inputs, such as the future rent payment schedule, the discount rate and sublease income based on the executed sublease agreement through the end of the lease terms. The sublease income estimate was considered a significant unobservable input because of uncertainty regarding future lease payments. Significant increases (decreases) in this input in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The average discounted monthly sublease income estimate ranges between zero to approximately $15,500 over the remaining sublease term of 36 months as of March 31, 2012 and between zero to approximately $15,600 over the remaining sublease term of 39 months as of December 31, 2011.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 from December 31, 2011 through March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, closely approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Note 7. Accrued Restructuring

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company announced restructuring plans to reduce its operating costs and focus its resources on key strategic priorities, which resulted in a workforce reduction of 146 positions across all functional areas and abandonment of certain facilities and termination of a contract obligation. The restructuring plans were completed during 2010.

The following is a roll forward of restructuring liability for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

     Total

Balance as of March 31, 2011

   $ 1,112   
  

 

 

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company classified approximately $0.3 million of the restructuring liability in accrued liabilities and the remaining $0.4 million in long-term liabilities based on the Company’s expectation that the remaining lease payments for the abandoned facilities will be paid over the remaining term of the related leases ending in April 2015 (net of expected sublease income).

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a restructuring benefit of approximately $0.2 million related to an adjustment of previously recorded facility exit costs arising from a favorable termination and lease surrender agreement that was executed in the first quarter of 2011.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of any litigation involving the Company, management does not believe any such pending legal proceeding or claim will result in a judgment or settlement that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third-parties. Certain indemnification agreements may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. If the potential loss from any indemnification claim is considered probable and the amount or the range of the loss can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. To date, claims under such indemnification provisions have not been significant.

Note 9. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted daily average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted daily average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period from the issuance of stock options and awards using the treasury stock method. Participating securities are included in the weighted daily average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted net income per share but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share. As the Company was in a net loss position for all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are equal to each other as the weighted average number of shares used to compute diluted net loss per share excludes anti-dilutive securities, including participating securities.

Note 10. Segment and Geographical Information

The Company’s two reportable operating segments are: Mobility Services; and Managed Network Services (“iPass MNS” or “MNS”). The Mobility Services segment includes the platform and network services that help enterprises manage the networks, connections and devices used by their mobile workforce as well as the network connection services itself. The MNS Segment includes enterprise remote and branch office secure connectivity services. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) has been identified as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income or loss.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment profit or loss from operations before income taxes, not including amortization of intangibles, restructuring and incremental sales tax, penalties and interest. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are substantially the same as those the Company uses for consolidated financial statements. All direct costs are allocated to the respective segments. In addition to direct costs, each segment has indirect costs. Indirect costs that are allocated to each segment include certain costs relating to facilities, employee benefits and payroll taxes, and shared services in management, finance, legal, human resources, and information technology. Indirect costs are allocated based on headcount, salaries and segment revenue contribution. The total operating costs and network access costs allocated to the reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, were $34.4 million and $38.0 million, respectively. The Company does not allocate to its reportable segments amortization of intangibles, restructuring and any associated adjustments related to restructuring actions, and incremental sales tax penalties and interest. By definition, segment operating income (loss) also excludes interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and income taxes.

Revenue and operating loss for each reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:

Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. Accordingly, no segment assets have been reported.

There were no material intersegment sales or transfers for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, to arrive at net revenue. Depreciation allocated to the Mobility Services segment was $0.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Depreciation allocated to the MNS segment for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, was less than $0.1 million.

Overview

We provide global enterprises and telecommunications carriers with cloud-based mobility management and network connectivity services. With our unique technology platform, we offer enterprises cross-device, cross-network Internet connectivity services through the iPass global network along with connection policy enforcement, real time reporting and analysis of all mobile network activity across their employee base and Internet access. Based on this same technology and our global authentication and settlements infrastructure, we also offer global telecommunications service providers with Wi-Fi enablement services that allow Wi-Fi providers to monetize their Wi-Fi network with ‘visiting’ subscribers, provide their subscribers with global Wi-Fi connectivity, and enable data offload solutions for Wi-Fi transactions and settlements exchange among global telecommunication providers.

We believe that the proliferation of mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets, has led to an explosive growth in global data traffic. As a result of this and other trends, the costs of mobility are large and growing as the global demand for bandwidth exceeds supply. We believe that enterprises will need to manage the mobility costs of providing always-on high-speed connectivity to their employees, as well as address the proliferation of employee-liable devices (the “Bring Your Own Device” trend). In addition, we see global telecommunications carriers and providers looking to monetize their network infrastructures, obtain additional network capacity, improve their subscribers’ experience and differentiate their consumer offerings to meet the accelerating demand for data services on smartphone and tablet devices.

Table of Contents

We believe iPass is uniquely positioned to address the global Wi-Fi opportunity and this is being accomplished through our Wi-Fi enablement services for carriers and integration into their core network offerings. We also believe that Wi-Fi has emerged as a critical element to meet the demands of enterprises and carriers.

Our business is structured and reported around two segments: (i) Mobility Services; and (ii) Managed Network Services (“iPass MNS” or “MNS”). Our Mobility Services segment is comprised of two service offerings: (1) Enterprise Mobility Services; and (2) Carrier Wi-Fi Enablement Services. We believe that we are leveraging our technology, global infrastructure expertise and market presence in the mobility space to address the market demands and needs of enterprises and telecommunication carriers, as follows:

 

   

Enterprise Mobility Services: Our Enterprise Mobility Services offerings provide mobile connectivity cost analysis, reporting and policy compliance management tools, as well as global Wi-Fi network access to large and global enterprise customers. Enterprise Mobility Services offerings consists of our Open Mobile Enterprise platform (“iPass OME” or “OME”), our legacy Mobile Office offering, and our Mobile Network Services. We go to market with these enterprise mobility offerings through a combination of our global direct sales force, a worldwide network of reseller partners, a group of leading global telecommunication carriers who white label our Open Mobile platform for providing these mobility services to their enterprise customers, and through App storefronts.

 

   

Carrier Wi-Fi Enablement Services (“iPass OMX” or “OMX”): Our OMX platform provides international Wi-Fi roaming, Wi-Fi data offload and Wi-Fi exchange services to global telecommunications carriers and service providers. In 2011, we launched these services leveraging and incorporating our Open Mobile Platform technology, global Wi-Fi authentication and settlements infrastructure, and our worldwide Wi-Fi Network to provide mobile network operators, telecommunications carriers and service provider partners around the world with the infrastructure to offer their subscribers new Wi-Fi based mobility services. While a new business, we have continued to sign carrier partners to our OMX platform and are focused on increasing user deployments in order to drive future OMX revenues. In addition, we continue to build-out both the OMX platform functionality and carrier/service provider membership and believe this will be a meaningful driver of value for our company.

iPass MNS provides enterprise customers in North America with network and management services that connect their branch offices and retail locations. The MNS value proposition is a significant price-for-performance value over traditional or legacy private networking services and is used by enterprises in a range of industries. We have recently begun to leverage our mobility services expertise within the MNS business and customer base, and have launched a new Managed Wi-Fi business that expands the MNS platform to enable enterprises and retailers to deliver in-store/in-office Wi-Fi experience to their employees and customers.

iPass was incorporated in California in July 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in June 2000. Our corporate headquarters is located in Redwood Shores, California.

For a detailed discussion regarding our business, including our strategy and our service offerings, see “Item 1. Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Significant Trends and Events, and Key Operating Highlights

A key initiative of iPass is to drive both sales of Open Mobile Enterprise and customer deployments of the Open Mobile Platform to produce greater Open Mobile user penetration and greater frequency-of-use of both our mobility platform services and network services. In addition, we are focused on continuing to build-out the OMX ecosystem of carrier partners to provide for Wi-Fi exchange functionality. Under our MNS business, we are also focused on continued revenue growth through a renewed focus on new customer acquisitions and by delivering additional offerings that leverage synergies with our Mobility expertise.

The following describes significant trends and events, and key operating highlights of our business during the first quarter of 2012:

(1) Strong Growth and Scale in Open Mobile Enterprise

We have continued to increase the number of customers signed on to our Open Mobile Platform as well as the number of Open Mobile monetized users, both active and gross. During the first quarter of 2012, we signed numerous global enterprise customers to the Open Mobile Enterprise Platform, including several Fortune 1000 enterprises, exiting the quarter with over 440 enterprise customers on the Open Mobile Enterprise Platform. The number of Active Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized users has continued to reflect a strong increase from approximately 54,000 in December of 2011 to approximately 135,000 in March of 2012, growing by approximately 80,000 or 150%. In March 2012, there were more than 320,000 Gross Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized users compared to more than 230,000 in December 2011, growing by approximately 90,000 or 39%. See “Key Operating Metrics” below for a full discussion of our user metrics.

We recently launched iPass Open Mobile Express, a lightweight version of iPass Open Mobile, which provides enterprises quick, easy and cost-effective access to our global footprint. iPass Open Mobile Express offers individual departments and enterprises of all sizes seamless Wi-Fi connectivity and basic reporting services for smartphones, tablets and laptops while ensuring consistent user

experience across all devices without costly 3G/4G roaming charges and expensive Wi-Fi day passes. We also released new versions of iPass Open Mobile with continued expansion of functionalities for laptops (Windows and Macintosh) as well as smartphone and tablet clients (Android & iOS), such as the new version of iPass Open Mobile for iOS that is optimized to take advantage of the higher resolution and user interface of the iPad. In addition, we released the Japanese version of iPass Open Mobile 2.0 for laptops (Windows) as well as smartphone and tablet clients (Android & iOS).

(2) Continued Expansion of the Breadth and Strategic Reach of iPass Global Wi-Fi Network

During the quarter, we grew the iPass global Wi-Fi Network to more than 780,000 Wi-Fi hotspots in 118 countries, including more than 3,000 airport hotspots, more than 60,000 hotels and convention centers, and over 657,000 retail and small business locations. We also joined the Wi-Fi Alliance and announced support for the development of Next Generation Hotspot and Hotspot 2.0, Wi-Fi standard initiatives that are important to simplify connectivity to Wi-Fi hotspots from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. This new technology helps remove end-user friction, drives potential exponential increase in market opportunities for mobile carriers and further drives the iPass value proposition around our role of policy distribution and enforcement, and connectivity intelligence.

(3) Increased Momentum and Traction with iPass Open Mobile Exchange (iPass OMX)

We are continuing to develop our OMX business, adding functionality and building-out the network of key carrier partners including mobile operators, telecommunication service providers, resellers and mobile virtual network operators. During the first quarter of 2012, we signed several strategic carrier partners across Europe, the Middle-East, the United States, South America and Asia to the iPass OMX platform, exiting the quarter with 12 carrier customers. iPass Open Mobile Exchange enables these carriers to offer their subscribers new Wi-Fi based mobility services.

(4) Continued Revenue Growth in iPass Managed Network Services (iPass MNS)

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, MNS revenue increased by 15%, on continued traction with our fully-managed high bandwidth Branch VPN service in retail and financial markets. We also recently released a new Wide Area Network product offering with significantly faster speeds over MPLS services called iPass MultiLink Connect which offers enterprises a fully-managed, highly available WAN IP VPN solution and that provides a strong foundation for retail or branch office Wi-Fi networks. In addition, we launched a new managed Wi-Fi service offering in North America during the quarter that leverages iPass’ mobility expertise to enable enterprises and large retailers to deliver in-store/in-office Wi-Fi to their employees and customers.

(5) Continued Decline in Legacy Network Revenue

Network revenue is predominantly generated from the use of our network services by users on our legacy Mobile Office product. In 2011, we began to generate network revenue from users on our new Open Mobile product. While we continue to sign-on new users and migrate users from our legacy platform to our new Open Mobile product, we have experienced a decline in Wi-Fi network usage by our legacy Mobile Office users, which to-date has outpaced the growth in Wi-Fi network usage by Open Mobile users.

In addition, we have also continued to experience the anticipated decline in network revenues from 3G, dial-up and minimum commitment, which we believe will continue during the remainder of 2012. The decline in 3G revenues was a result of lower usage levels due to anticipated customer terminations as we move away from 3G network sales and continue to focus on growing our Open Mobile platform revenue and Wi-Fi services. The anticipated decline in dial-up revenue was due to the continued erosion in our dial-up base as customers migrated to alternative faster connectivity technologies. The continued and anticipated decline in minimum commitment revenue was due to renegotiating customer agreements to lower commit levels.

Key Operating Metrics

Described below are key metrics that we use to evaluate our operating performance and our success in transforming our business and driving future growth.

Total Average Monthly Monetized Users

Total Average Monthly Monetized Users (referred to as “AMMU”) is a key metric that we use to track and evaluate the operating performance of our overall enterprise mobility business. The AMMU metric is based on the number of active users of our network and platform services across both our legacy Mobile Office offering and new Open Mobile Enterprise offerings. There is some overlap for users that may be active users of both our network and platform services in a given month. Network users are billed for their use of our Wi-Fi, dial-up or 3G network services. Platform users are billed for their use of our legacy Mobile Office client or our Open Mobile client. AMMU is defined as the average number of users per month, during a given quarter, for which a fee was billed by us to a customer for such users.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the Total Average Monthly Monetized Users for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

     Three Months Ended
March  31
 
     2012      2011      % Change  
     (Number of users in thousands)

Network

     139         179         (22.3 %) 

Platform

     541         555         (2.5 %) 

The AMMU of our network services decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the decline in network users on our legacy Mobile Office product, specifically legacy dial-up, Wi-Fi, and 3G users that declined by 48%, 23%, and 7%, respectively.

The AMMU of our platform services decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the attrition of legacy Mobile Office client users, which to date has outpaced the growth we have been experiencing in our Open Mobile platform users.

Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized Users

We also track users on our new Open Mobile offering to provide additional visibility into the overall adoption and monetization of the new Open Mobile platform. These metrics are defined as follows:

 

  (i) Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized Users—Active. Represents the number of Open Mobile users who were billed Open Mobile platform fees and who have used or deployed Open Mobile (e.g., this is synonymous with the definition of our AMMU metric with the data here being reported for the number of users in the month being presented).

 

  (ii) Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized Users—Paying, Undeployed. Represents the number of Open Mobile users at enterprise customers for which Open Mobile platform fees were billed for the period but have not yet used Open Mobile or had Open Mobile fully-deployed.

 

  (iii) Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized Users—Gross. Is the sum of both Active and Paying, Undeployed Open Mobile Enterprise monetized users.

The following table reflects the number of Open Mobile Enterprise (OME) monetized users for the three broad categories of monetized users, (i) active OME monetized users, (ii) paying, undeployed OME monetized users, and (iii) Gross OME monetized users, which is the sum of (i) and (ii), as follows:

 

     For the Month of  
     March 2012      December 2011      March 2011  
     (In thousands)  

Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized Users:

        

Active

     135         54         7   

Paying, Undeployed

     186         177         12   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Gross OME Monetized Users

     321         231         19   

Open Mobile Enterprise Monetized Users are presented as a monthly metric as this provides increased visibility into the traction we are experiencing with enterprise customers on our new Open Mobile platform and allows us to measure the progress and performance of the business over time. Our number of Open Mobile Monetized Users has continued to increase as a result of our focus on signing-on new users and migrating legacy Mobile Office users to the Open Mobile Platform.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)

Adjusted EBITDA is used by our management as a measure of operating efficiency, financial performance and as a benchmark against our peers and competitors. In addition, we also use this metric to determine a portion of our incentive compensation payouts. Management also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to understand our performance excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in our core operating performance. Furthermore, the use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons with other companies in our industry which may use similar financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. We defined Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; restructuring charges; certain state sales and federal tax charges, and one-time non recurring discrete items. We adjust for these excluded items because we believe that, in general, these items possess one or more of the following characteristics: their magnitude and timing is largely outside of our control; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; they are unusual or infrequent and we do not expect them to occur in the ordinary course

of business; or they are non-operational, or non-cash expenses involving stock option grants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, operating performance, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss:

GAAP Net loss

   $ (1,275   $ (1,477

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2012, improved by approximately $0.9 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower operating expenses of $1.0 million (excluding operating expenses adjusted above) and the favorable foreign exchange impact of $0.3 million, partially offset by a reduction in gross margin dollars of $0.4 million mainly caused by lower Wi-Fi, 3G, dial-up and minimum commitment revenues that exceeded corresponding reductions in network access costs. (See “Results of Operations” for further discussions on these factors affecting Adjusted EBITDA.)

Network Gross Margin

We use network gross margin as a metric to assist us in assessing the profitability of our various network services. Our overall network gross margin percentage is defined as (Mobility network revenue plus MNS revenue less network access costs divided by Mobility network revenue plus MNS revenue).

 

     Three Months Ended
March  31,
 
     2012     2011     Change  

Total Network Gross Margin

     46.4 %     44.2 %     2.2pp   

The increase in network gross margin percentage was driven by the increase in Mobility Services network gross margin percentage as well as an increase in the MNS network gross margin percentage. Mobility Services network gross margin percentage increased primarily due to lower network access cost as a result of discrete supplier credits and lower Wi-Fi usage which favorably impacted our network access cost but did not result in a corresponding decrease in revenue for certain customers for which we charge flat-rate pricing. MNS network gross margin percentage increased primarily due to lower network access cost as a result of ongoing pricing renegotiations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and our belief of what could occur in the future considering available information, including assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported based on these policies. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, and allowance for doubtful accounts.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Results of Operations

From a broad perspective, we are reporting and analyzing revenue under two primary offerings reflecting our two operating segments: Mobility Services and MNS. In determining segment operating income or loss, the items that are not allocated to these segments include amortization of intangibles, restructuring and any associated adjustments related to restructuring actions, and incremental sales tax costs, penalties and interest.

Sources of Revenue

Our Mobility Services segment comprises primarily two offerings, Enterprise Mobility Services and OMX services. Within our mobility services, we present revenue from three areas: (i) network revenue; (ii) platform revenue; and (iii) other fees and revenue. Platform revenue consists of revenues derived from the following services: Open Mobile Platform fees; Mobile Office fees; and other client/platform related fees. Network revenue consists of revenue primarily from the sale of access to our network of Wi-Fi hotspots, hotel Ethernet, and mobile broadband services such as 3G and narrowband access technologies such as modem dial-up. Network revenues are derived primarily from two types of fee structures: usage-based, which is based on actual network usage; and a fixed-rate per user per month fee structure. Network revenue also includes minimum commitment shortfall revenue. Other fees include device management fees, professional services and other mobility-related fees and services.

Our MNS segment revenues are derived from the delivery and management of wide area networking services offered to enterprise customers primarily through our iPass MultiLink VPN, Branch VPN, and Managed Broadband services. These revenues are based on committed monthly contracts in which each recurring end point fee is combined with certain other upfront non-recurring fees including equipment, installation, management set up, and shipping. Each end point is a physical network site.

Network Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, network revenue decreased $4.9 million or 20.3% primarily due to the decline in Wi-Fi revenue generated from the legacy Mobile Office platform of $2.8 million as well as the anticipated decline in minimum commitment, dial-up and 3G revenues of $0.3 million, $0.6 million, and $1.3 million, respectively. The decrease in legacy network revenue is discussed in “Significant Trends and Events, and Key Operating Highlights” above.

Platform Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, platform revenue increased $1.1 million or 24.5% primarily due to growth in sales of our Open Mobile Platform of $2.3 million, partially offset by decline in sales of our legacy Mobile Office product of $1.2 million, as we continue to sign-on new customers and migrate existing customers from our legacy platform to our Open Mobile platform.

Other Fees and Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, other fees and revenue decreased $0.3 million or 34.1%, primarily due to lower end-of-life fees as customers moved to current product releases.

Operating Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, Mobility Services operating loss increased primarily due to lower gross margin dollars of $1.0 million on declining revenues, offset by lower operating expenses of $1.0 million as a result of our ongoing cost management efforts, including benefits from the reorganization of our sales function in the third quarter of 2011.

MNS Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, MNS revenue increased primarily due to higher monthly recurring revenue from Branch VPN and Managed Broadband services customers of $1.1 million as a result of new endpoint growth that surpassed endpoint disconnects by approximately 3,295 quarter over quarter. This increase was offset by $0.1 million anticipated decline in Home Office customer revenue. As of March 31, 2012, Home Office customer revenue represents less than 4% of total MNS revenue.

Operating loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, MNS operating loss decreased primarily due to higher gross margin dollars of $0.7 million as a result of lower network access cost due to ongoing pricing negotiations, partially offset by higher operating expenses of $0.1 million.

Q2 2012 Outlook

For the second quarter of 2012 ending June 30, 2012 iPass anticipates total revenue to be in the range of $31 million to $34 million, and adjusted EBITDA income (loss) to be in the range of $(1.25) million to $0.25 million. The following table reconciles projected adjusted EBITDA income (loss) to projected net loss:

Table of Contents

The decrease in network access costs for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was primarily due to a combination of lower Wi-Fi, 3G and dial-up network usage that decreased Mobility Services NAC by $3.1 million, partially offset by an increase in MNS NAC of $0.4 million. The increase in MNS NAC was driven by new endpoint growth on a net basis.

Network Operations

Network operations expenses consist of compensation and benefits for our network engineering, customer support and network access quality personnel, outside consultants, transaction center fees, network equipment depreciation, costs of 3G data cards and allocated overhead costs.

The decrease in network operations expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was primarily due to a decrease in 3G Mobile Data Cards subsidized expenses of approximately $0.3 million as a result of fewer cards shipped, and lower salaries of approximately $0.2 million as a result of lower employee headcount.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of compensation and benefits for our research and development personnel, consulting, and allocated overhead costs.

The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was primarily due to lower headcount-related expenses such as salaries, commissions and severance of approximately $0.3 million as a result of benefits from the reorganization of our sales function that had occurred in the prior year and lower consulting expenses of approximately $0.1 million.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits for general and administrative personnel, legal and accounting expenses and bad debt expense.

The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011, was primarily due to an increase in headcount-related expense of approximately $0.5 million and a lower benefit from the collection of back-bill sales tax of approximately $0.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in consulting fees of approximately $0.4 million and a benefit on bad debt expense of approximately $0.2 million due to recoveries.

Restructuring Charges

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded a restructuring benefit of approximately $0.2 million related to an adjustment of previously recorded facility exit costs arising from a favorable termination and lease surrender agreement that was executed in the first quarter of 2011.

For further information, see Note 7, Accrued Restructuring, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)

Foreign exchange gains (losses) primarily include realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations impact the re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar and generate unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses. In addition, certain of our network access costs are invoiced in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. The transactional settlement of these outstanding invoices and other cross-currency transactions generate realized foreign exchange gains or losses depending on the fluctuation of exchange rates between the date of invoicing and the date of payment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not enter into any hedging contracts. Foreign exchange losses were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $0.3 million in the same period in 2011. The insignificant foreign exchange loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was primarily due to unfavorable re-measurement of foreign currency denominated vendor payables which was partially offset by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro and the British Pound at the time we settled certain non-U.S. Dollar denominated network access costs. The foreign exchange loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro and the British Pound at the time we settled certain non-U.S. Dollar denominated network access costs and the unfavorable re-measurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Provision For (Benefit From) Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.1 million, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2011. The income tax expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, primarily related to foreign and state taxes on expected profits in the foreign and state jurisdictions. The effective tax rate was 12.0% and 18.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.4 million for the same period in 2011. The predominant factor in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is changes in working capital. Net loss adjusted for non-cash items had a smaller effect on net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Working capital inflow was approximately $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to working capital outflow of approximately $3.3 million in the same period in 2011.

The net working capital inflow for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was primarily due to more timely collections from our customers compared to payments to our network access providers for a combined inflow of approximately $1.0 million, as well as the effect of incentive compensation and commissions paid in advance last quarter of approximately $0.7 million, an increase in customer overpayments of approximately $0.3 million and the effect from the timing of prepayments of approximately $0.2 million. These inflows were partially offset by payments for incremental sales tax of approximately $0.7 million.

The net working capital outflow for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to individually significant payments for incremental sales tax of approximately $1.1 million, payments for commissions of $0.9 million and restructuring costs of $0.4 million. In addition, the working capital outflow during the three months ended March 31, 2011, was also impacted by the timing of payments to our network access providers compared to collections from our customers.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we used approximately $1.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. The significant increase in capital expenditures is primarily related to our efforts to migrate to a new enterprise resource planning system to enable us to more efficiently scale our business through the supporting infrastructure of robust accounting, billing, and reporting systems.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Sources of Cash and Future Cash Requirements

We have historically relied on existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations for our liquidity needs. We use a professional investment management firm to manage a large portion of our cash which is invested primarily in money market accounts with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. We believe that based on our current business plan and revenue prospects and our anticipated cash flows from operations, our existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet our working capital and operating resource expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, was $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. We currently do not intend to distribute any of our cumulative earnings by our foreign subsidiaries to the parent company in the U.S. As of March 31, 2012, accounts receivables from European customers represented 36% of total accounts receivable of which 46% were aged within our standard credit term of 30 days and 97% were aged less than 90 days.

Primary Uses of Cash

Our principal use of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2012, was for network access costs, payroll related expenses and general operating expenses including marketing, travel, office rent, capital expenditures, and settlement of certain incremental sales tax obligations.

Capital Expenditure: During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we used approximately $1.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. The significant increase in capital expenditures is primarily related to our efforts to migrate to a new enterprise resource planning system to enable us to more efficiently scale our business through the supporting infrastructure of robust accounting, billing and reporting systems.

(1) In the normal course of our business, we have signed contracts with certain network service, mobile data providers and other vendors under which we have minimum purchase commitments. These commitments expire on various dates through March 2014.

For information on our other contractual commitments that are not materially different from those at December 31, 2011, see “Commitments” in Part 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate material 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 for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, as defined in Item  303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in conducting business globally in numerous currencies, of which the most significant to our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were the Euro, the British Pound, and the Indian Rupee. We are primarily exposed to foreign currency fluctuations related to network access costs and other operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. As such, we benefit from a stronger U.S. Dollar and may be adversely affected by a weaker U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency. Currently, we do not enter into currency forward exchange or option contracts to hedge foreign currency exposures. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations is also discussed in “Foreign exchange gains (losses)” under Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.8 million, restricted cash of $1.9 million and no short-term investments. As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.4 million, restricted cash of $1.9 million and no short-term investments. Our cash balances are held primarily in bank deposits and money market accounts with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. As a result, we do not believe we are exposed to any material interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within iPass have been detected.
