RAINMAKER SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
— UNAUDITED —

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICIANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rainmaker Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Rainmaker,” “we,” “our” or “the Company”). Rainmaker is a leading global provider of business-to-business, or B2B, e-commerce solutions that drive online sales and renewal for products, subscriptions and training for our clients and their channel partners. Rainmaker provides these solutions on a global basis supporting multiple payment methods, currencies and language capabilities. The Rainmaker solution combines cloud-based e-commerce solutions for online sales enhanced by global sales agents designed to increase client satisfaction and deliver maximum revenue while increasing ease of doing business at each phase of the customer buying cycle.
We are headquartered in Silicon Valley in Campbell, California, and have additional operations in or near Austin, Texas, Manila, Philippines and London, England. Our global clients consist primarily of large enterprises operating in the computer hardware and software and information services industries.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rainmaker Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of these periods.
The results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012, or any other period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2012 and amended on April 30, 2012. Balance sheet information as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements for the year then ended.
Certain amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements for 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations, total assets or accumulated deficit.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of $1.5 million and cash provided by operating activities of $673,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our principal source of liquidity as of March 31, 2012 consisted of $8.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our cash and cash equivalent balance and anticipated improvements in cash flows from operations due to forecasted revenue growth and operating cash savings from our cost saving initiatives will be sufficient to meet our operating and debt payment requirements for the next twelve months.
Our debt balance as of March 31, 2012 was $4.3 million, which matures before December 31, 2012. We will likely elect to maintain our current level of borrowings, subject to our ability to arrange new debt facilities or renew our existing debt facilities, to assist in funding our future growth and working capital requirements. If forecasted revenue growth does not materialize, or if we are unsuccessful in reducing the usage of cash to fund our operations, we will be required to seek additional external financing or further reduce operating costs, which could jeopardize our current operations and future strategic initiatives and business plans. However, external financing sources may not be available, may be inadequate to fund our operations or may be on terms unfavorable to the Company.

6


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to develop profitable operations through implementation of our current business initiatives.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates are based on historical experience, input from sources outside of the Company, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Accounting policies that include particularly significant estimates are revenue recognition and presentation policies, valuation of accounts receivable, measurement of our deferred tax asset and the corresponding valuation allowance, allocation of purchase price in business combinations, fair value estimates for the expense of employee stock options and warrants and the assessment of recoverability and impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, fixed assets and commitments and contingencies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents generally consist of money market funds. The fair market value of cash equivalents represents the quoted market prices at the balance sheet dates and approximates their carrying value.
The following is a summary of our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

On November 2, 2011, we renewed our borrowings with HSBC Bank (the “Loan Line Facility”). The Loan Line Facility provides borrowing availability up to a maximum of $630,000 secured by a standby documentary credit (“SDC”) and matures in October 2012. The SDC is secured by a cash balance of approximately $703,000 held with HSBC Bank as of March 31, 2012.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers or clients’ customers to make required payments of amounts due to us. The allowance is comprised of specifically identified account balances for which collection is currently deemed doubtful. In addition to specifically identified accounts, estimates of amounts that may not be collectible from those accounts whose collection is not yet deemed doubtful but which may become doubtful in the future are made based on historical bad debt write-off experience. If the financial condition of our clients or our clients' customers was to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts was $56,000 and $93,000, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Computer equipment and capitalized software are depreciated over two to five years and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recorded using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of fixed assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
Costs of internal-use software are accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal Use Software, and FASB ASC 350-50, Website Development Costs. The guidance requires that we expense computer software and website development costs as they are incurred during the preliminary project stage. Once the capitalization criteria of ASC 350-40 and ASC 350-50 have been met, external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software, including website development costs, payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software and associated interest costs are capitalized. We capitalized approximately $245,000 and $353,000 of such costs during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the

7


shorter of the term of related client agreement, if such development relates to a specific outsource client, or the software’s estimated useful life, ranging from two to five years. Capitalized internal-use software and website development costs are included in property and equipment on the accompanying balance sheets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We completed several acquisitions during the period of February 2005 through January 2010. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
In our analysis of goodwill and other intangible assets, we apply the guidance of FASB ASC 350-20-35 in determining whether any impairment conditions exist. In our analysis of other finite lived amortizable intangible assets, we apply the guidance of FASB ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment – Subsequent Measurement, in determining whether any impairment conditions exist. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Intangible assets are attributable to the various technologies and customer relationships of the businesses we have acquired. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had accumulated impairment losses of $11.5 million.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, we performed our annual goodwill impairment evaluation required under FASB ASC 350-20-35, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other-Subsequent Measurement, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had approximately $3.8 million in goodwill recorded on our Contract Sales reporting unit and approximately $1.5 million recorded on our Rainmaker Europe reporting unit.

We report segment results in accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The method for determining what information is reported is based on the way that management organizes the operating segments for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance. Our chief operating decision maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by detailed information listing revenues by customer and product line, for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Currently, the chief operating decision maker does not use product line financial performance as a basis for business operating decisions. Accordingly, we concluded that we have one operating and reportable segment. In accordance with FASB ASC 350-20-35, we are required to test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets including our purchased intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment-Subsequent Measurement, long-lived assets, such as property, equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented on the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we evaluated our long-lived assets and noted no impairment.
Revenue Recognition and Presentation
Substantially all of our revenue is generated from (i) the online sale of our clients products to their small and medium-sized business ("SMB") customers, (ii) the sale of service contracts and maintenance renewals, (iii) lead development and other telesales services, and (iv) software subscriptions for hosted Internet sales of web-based training. Revenue is recorded using the proportional performance model, where revenue is recognized as performance occurs over the term of the contract and any initial set up fees are recognized over the estimated customer life. We recognize revenue from the online sale of our clients' products and the sale of our clients’ service contracts and maintenance renewals on the “net basis”, which represents the amount billed to the end customer less the amount paid to our client. Revenue from the sale is recognized when a purchase order from a client’s customer is received, the service or service contract or maintenance agreement is delivered, the fee is fixed or determinable, the collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, and no significant post-delivery obligations remain unfulfilled. Revenue from lead development and other telesales services we perform is recognized as the services are accepted and is generally earned ratably over the service contract period. We earn revenue from our software application subscriptions of hosted online sales of web-based training ratably over each contract period. Since these software subscriptions are usually paid in advance, we have recorded a deferred revenue liability on our balance sheet that represents the prepaid portions of subscriptions that will be earned over the

8


next one to three years.
Our agreements typically do not contain multiple deliverables. In the few instances where our agreements have contained multiple deliverables, they do not have value to our customers on a standalone basis, and therefore the deliverables are considered together as one unit of accounting. However, we may enter into sales contracts with multiple deliverable element conditions with stand-alone value in the future, which may affect the timing of our revenue recognition and may have an impact on our future financial statements.
Our revenue recognition policy involves significant judgments and estimates about collectability. We assess the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history and/or the creditworthiness of our clients’ customers, which is based on current published credit ratings, current events and circumstances regarding the business of our clients’ customers and other factors that we believe are relevant. If we determine that collection is not reasonably assured, we defer revenue recognition until such time as collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment.

In addition, we provide an allowance in accrued liabilities for the cancellation of service contracts that occurs within a specified time after the sale, which is typically less than 30 days. This amount is calculated based on historical results and constitutes a reduction of the net revenue we record for the commission we earn on the sale.
Cost of Services
Cost of services consists of costs associated with promoting and selling our clients’ products and services including compensation costs of telesales personnel, telesales commissions and bonuses, costs of designing, producing and delivering marketing services, and salaries and other personnel expenses related to fee-based activities. Cost of services also includes the costs of allocated facility and telephone usage for our telesales representatives as well as other direct costs associated with the delivery of our services, including credit card fees related to the online sale of our clients' products. Most of the costs are personnel related and fluctuate in relation to our net revenue. Bonuses and sales commissions will typically change in proportion to revenue or profitability.
Advertising
We expense advertising costs as incurred. These costs were not material and are included in sales and marketing expense.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method. The liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements, but have not been reflected in our taxable income. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value. Therefore, we provide a valuation allowance to the extent that we do not believe it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had gross deferred tax assets of $31.6 million and $30.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the deferred tax assets were subject to a 100% valuation allowance and therefore are not recorded on our balance sheet as assets. Realization of our deferred tax assets is limited and we may not be able to fully utilize these deferred tax assets to reduce our tax rates.
FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under this guidance, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FASB ASC 740 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Our policy for recording interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. Penalties, interest paid and interest received are recorded in interest and other (income) expense, net, in the statement of operations. There were immaterial amounts accrued for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation
FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This guidance requires companies to estimate the fair value of

share-based payment awards on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 for further discussion of this standard and its effects on the financial statements presented herein.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Credit Evaluations
Our financial instruments that expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
We place our cash and cash equivalents in a variety of financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure through diversification and by investing the funds in money market accounts which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At times, the balance of cash deposits is in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.
We sell our clients’ products and services primarily to business end users and, in most transactions, assume full credit risk on the sale. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the financial condition of our client’s customer, and collateral is generally not required. Credit losses have traditionally been immaterial, and such losses have been within management’s expectations.
We have generated a significant portion of our revenue from sales to customers of a limited number of clients. In the three months ended March 31, 2012, two clients accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue, with Microsoft representing approximately 24% of our net revenue and Symantec representing approximately 17% of our net revenue. In the three months ended March 31, 2011, four clients accounted for 10% or more of our net revenue, with Symantec representing approximately 15% of our net revenue, TechTeam representing approximately 13% of our net revenue, Hewlett-Packard representing approximately 11% of our net revenue and Microsoft representing approximately 10% of our net revenue.
No individual client’s end-user customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenues in any period presented.
We have outsourced services agreements with our significant clients that expire at various dates ranging through June 2014. Our agreements with Symantec expire in March 2014 and can generally be terminated prior to expiration with ninety days notice. Our agreements with Microsoft expire at various dates from June 2012 through August 2013, and generally can be terminated with thirty days notice.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The fair value of short-term and long-term capital lease and debt obligations is estimated based on current interest rates available to us for debt instruments with similar terms, degrees of risk and remaining maturities. The carrying values of these obligations, as of each period presented, approximate their respective fair values.
Segment Reporting
In accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, we concluded that we have one operating and reportable segment. We have call center operations within the United States, the Philippines and the United Kingdom where we perform services on behalf of our clients. While we exited our Canadian call center facility in September 2010, we continue to maintain a network of managed telesales representatives in the region.

Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries was determined to be their respective local currencies (Canadian Dollar, Philippine Peso and Great Britain Pound). Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average exchange rates in effect during the period. The related unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in interest and other (income) expense, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Related Party Transactions
In June 2011, we issued and sold 3.7 million shares of our common stock, together with warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 1.5 million additional shares, in a public offering. Members of our board of directors purchased 135,660 shares at a price of $1.29 per share. They also received warrants to purchase up to an additional 54,264 shares with an initial exercise price of $1.40 per share. See Note 8 for more information regarding our equity offering.
Recent Accounting Standards
In September 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08 – Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This update permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. This new guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011. We will implement ASU No. 2011-08 as part of our 2012 impairment testing.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This pronouncement was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between

11


U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012, as reflected in Note 7, Fair Value Measurements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU No. 2011-05 – Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This update requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012 and elected to present a single continuous statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

2.    NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share also gives effect, as applicable, to the potential dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, unvested restricted share awards, and convertible securities, using the if converted method, as of the beginning of the period presented or the original issuance date, if later.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share (in thousands, except per share data):

Credit Facility
In April 2004, we entered into a business loan agreement and a commercial security agreement with Bridge Bank (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility, as last amended in November 2011, matures on December 10, 2012. The maximum amount of credit that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility is $6 million, subject to a borrowing base, and includes a $1.0 million sub-facility for standby letters of credit. The interest rate per annum for advances under the Credit Facility is equal to the greater of (i) 3.5%, or (ii) one quarter of one percent (0.25%) above the prime lending rate, currently at 3.25%. As of March 31, 2012, we had borrowings of $3.3 million and letters of credit of $500,000 outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our consolidated assets, including intellectual property. We must comply with certain financial covenants, including not incurring a quarterly non-GAAP profit or loss negatively exceeding by more than 10% the amount of the non-GAAP profit or loss recited in our operating plan approved by Bridge Bank (the "performance to plan" financial covenant), and maintaining unrestricted cash with Bridge Bank equal to the greater of $2.0 million or the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness from time to time outstanding with Bridge Bank plus $1 million. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that will, subject to limited exceptions, require Bridge Bank’s approval to, among other things, (i) create liens; (ii) make annual capital expenditures above a certain level; (iii) pay cash dividends; and (iv) merge or consolidate with another company above a certain amount of total consideration. The Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default, including nonpayment, breach of covenants, payment defaults of other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization that may result in acceleration of outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we did not meet the performance to plan financial covenant as our quarterly non-GAAP loss exceeded the amount of non-GAAP loss in our operating plan, approved by Bridge Bank, for our first quarter's results of operations by more than 10%. We received a waiver from Bridge Bank for the non-compliance with this covenant for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We were in compliance with all other loan covenants.
In July 2005, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $100,000 to our landlord for a security deposit for our corporate headquarters located in Campbell, California. In December 2010, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of £250,000 Great Britain Pounds, or $400,000 based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, to Barclays Bank PLC to secure our overdraft facility described below. Both letters of credit were issued under the Credit Facility described above. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts had been drawn against the letters of credit.

13


Loan Line Facility
On October 28, 2010, we entered into a business loan agreement with HSBC Bank (the “Loan Line Facility”). The Loan Line Facility provides borrowing availability up to a maximum of $630,000 secured by a $700,000 SDC. In December 2010, we borrowed $630,000 under this Loan Line Facility. In November 2011, we renewed our borrowings under this facility, and the SDC, through October 2012. The interest rate is based on prevailing rates at the time of drawdown and may be revised periodically with advance notice. The current interest rate is 3.87% and interest payments are due at the end of every interest rate revision term or payment of principal.

Overdraft Facility
On November 25, 2010, our subsidiary, Rainmaker EMEA Limited, established an overdraft facility with Barclays Bank PLC in the amount of £247,500 Great Britain Pounds, or $396,000 based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2012. The interest rate is 3.5% per annum over the Bank’s Base Rate, as defined in the agreement, or 4.0% at March 31, 2012. This overdraft facility is secured by the £250,000 standby letter of credit issued by Bridge Bank as noted above. The facility does not have a cancellation date, but the Bank may review the overdraft facility from time to time and at least annually. The next annual review is scheduled for November 2012. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had borrowed $383,000 and $381,000 under this facility, respectively.
Notes Payable – Optima acquisition
On January 29, 2010, we entered into and closed a stock purchase agreement for Optima Consulting Partners Limited (“Optima”). In accordance with this agreement, we entered into a note payable for $350,000 payable in two installments, with $200,000 plus accrued interest due eighteen months from the closing date and $150,000 plus accrued interest due twenty-four months after the closing date. We paid the first installment of the note in July 2011 and fully settled the liability by paying the second installment in January 2012. The interest rate on the note payable was 0.4% per year and we recorded the present value of the note payable discounted over two years at a rate of 6.2%. The resulting discount on note payable was amortized over the two-year term of the note.
Notes Payable – insurance
On August 4, 2011, we entered into an agreement with AON Private Risk Management to finance our 2011 - 2012 insurance premiums with AFCO Acceptance Corporation in the amount of approximately $57,000. The interest rate on the note payable is 6.992% and the note is payable in ten equal monthly installment payments beginning in August 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the remaining liability was $12,000 under this financing agreement.

Capital Lease Obligations
In February 2011, Rainmaker Asia entered into a two-year computer equipment agreement with Japan-PNB Leasing and Finance Corporation. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we are paying monthly installments of approximately $11,000 based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012.

6.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
As of March 31, 2012, our off-balance sheet arrangements include operating leases for our facilities and certain property and equipment that expire at various dates through 2013. All of these leases are described in more detail below. These arrangements allow us to obtain the use of the equipment and facilities without purchasing them. If we were to acquire these assets, we would be required to obtain financing and record a liability related to the financing of these assets. Leasing these assets under operating leases allows us to use these assets for our business while minimizing the obligations and upfront cash flow related to purchasing the assets.
In October 2009, we executed a second amendment to the operating lease for our corporate headquarters in Campbell, California to reduce our lease cost. Under this amendment, we reduced the amount of space that we lease by 6,719 square feet to 16,430 square feet starting October 1, 2009, and reduced our lease cost per square foot by approximately 18%. We obtained a first right of refusal to the reduced space (6,719 square feet). Under this second amendment, the lease will expire on January 31, 2013. Annual gross rent under the amended lease was approximately $227,000 in the first year of the lease which ended September 30, 2010, and increases by approximately 5% each year thereafter for the remaining term expiring January 31, 2013. In addition, we will continue to pay our proportionate share of operating costs and taxes based on our occupancy, and the original letter of credit issued to the landlord in the amount of $100,000 for a security deposit will remain in place.
In September 2011, we extended an existing lease in Austin, Texas on approximately 21,388 square feet of space for a term

14


of 24 months through December 31, 2013. Annual rent under the lease approximates $212,000, or $18,000 monthly. Additionally, we pay our proportionate share of maintenance on the common areas in the business park.
In September 2011, we modified our lease in the BPI Buendia Center building in Manila. The modification reduced the leased space from three floors to two, and we now occupy approximately 27,000 square feet. The lease for this space terminates on March 31, 2013. Based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, our annual base rent will escalate from approximately $435,000 in the current year of the lease to $470,000 for the final year of the lease. On May 1, 2010, we executed a lease for approximately 15,852 square feet of call center space in the Alphaland Southgate Tower in Makati City. The lease has a three-year term and terminates on April 30, 2013. Based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, and the free and discounted base rent included in the lease agreement, our annual base rent will escalate from approximately $220,000 in the current year of the lease to approximately $238,000 in the final year of the lease.

With our acquisition of Optima in January 2010, we assumed an office lease in the United Kingdom in Godalming outside of London, where we have call center and sales operations. This cancellable lease, which was expanded to accommodate growth in October 2010, commenced in November 2009, has a three-year term and terminates in October 2012. In September 2011, we leased additional space in Godalming due to the continued expansion of our European operations. This lease has a one-year term. Combined annual base rent for these facilities is £180,000 Great Britain Pounds. Based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2012, annual rent is approximately $287,000 in U.S. dollars.

Rent expense under operating lease agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $361,000 and $488,000, respectively. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 includes $0 and $99,000, respectively, related to the Montreal facility closure.
Guarantees
In July 2005, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $100,000 to our landlord for a security deposit for our corporate headquarters located in Campbell, California. The letter of credit was issued under the Credit Facility described above. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts had been drawn against the letter of credit.
On October 28, 2010, we entered into a business loan agreement with HSBC Bank (the “Loan Line Facility”). The $630,000 Loan Line Facility is secured by a $700,000 SDC and matures in October 2012. The SDC is secured by a cash balance of approximately $703,000 held with HSBC Bank.
In December 2010, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of £250,000 Great Britain Pounds, or $400,000 based on the exchange rates as of March 31, 2012, to Barclays Bank. The letter of credit was issued under the Credit Facility described above. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts had been drawn against the letter of credit.

Our customer contracts typically require us to contingently indemnify against certain qualified third party claims. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not had to make any payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on our balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Litigation
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to claims, asserted or unasserted, or named as a party to lawsuits or investigations. We are not aware of any asserted or unasserted legal proceedings or claims that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We are currently involved in several proceedings before various courts; however, we believe that any ultimate liability surrounding these claims, if any, will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Also see Part I Item 1A— “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012 and amended on April 30, 2012 for additional discussion of the litigation and regulatory risks facing our Company.

7.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the exchange price that would be the amount received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In arriving at a fair value measurement, we use a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs used to establish fair value are the following:
Level 1
—    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

15


Level 2
—    Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, 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.
A summary of the activity of the fair value of the Level 3 liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

The contingent consideration payable under the Optima stock purchase agreement was $225,000 as of March 31, 2012, based on the achievement of certain performance metrics for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011. The contingent consideration payment was transfered from our fair value measurements once the final calculation was determinable. As the liability had not been settled as of March 31, 2012, it is included within “Other accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.

Money market funds are valued using active quoted market rates.

The fair value of our common stock warrant liability (see Note 8—Stockholders' Equity) is determined using the Black–Scholes valuation method utilizing the quoted price of our common stock in an active market. Volatility is estimated based on the historical market activity of our stock. The expected life is based on the remaining contractual term of the warrants and the risk free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury Securities with a maturity equivalent to the warrants' remaining contractual term. See detailed inputs below.
(3)
Contingent consideration - Optima was valued as of December 31, 2011 based on our estimate of achieving the performance metrics listed in the stock purchase agreement. Based on the final calculation, the contingent consideration was $225,000 as of March 31, 2012.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value our common stock warrant liability. The following are the assumptions used to measure the accrued warrant liability at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which were determined in a manner consistent with that described for stock option and restricted stock awards as set forth in Note 8:

8.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Equity Offering
In June 2011, we issued and sold 3.7 million shares of our common stock, together with warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 1.5 million additional shares, in a public offering. The offering was made pursuant to a prospectus filed with our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-171946), which was filed with the SEC on January 28, 2011, amended on February 18, 2011 and declared effective by the SEC on March 7, 2011, the prospectus supplement dated June 22, 2011, and the free writing prospectus dated June 23, 2011. We received gross cash proceeds of approximately $3.9 million from the equity offering. The $3.3 million of net cash proceeds from the offering will continue to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.
The 1.5 million warrants issued through the public offering have a 5-year term and an exercise price of $1.40 per share and are exercisable beginning six months after their issuance date. If at any time the shares of common stock issuable thereunder are not registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, the warrants may be exercised by way of a cashless exercise. The warrants also contain provisions that protect the holders thereof against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares issuable thereunder in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events. In addition, the placement agent received a warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to three percent (3.0%) of the number of shares purchased by investors in the offering, which approximates 110,000 shares. The placement agent warrant has a 5-year term and an exercise price of $1.05 per share and is exercisable beginning six months after its issuance date. The placement agent warrant may also be exercised by way of a cashless exercise. The placement agent warrant also contains provisions that protect its holder against dilution by adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares issuable thereunder in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events.
We have classified all of the above mentioned warrants as liabilities under the caption "Common stock warrant liability" and recorded the liability at its estimated fair value with the corresponding gains as a separate line item after loss from operations, under the caption "Gain due to change in fair value of warrant liability." See Note 7—Fair Value Measurements for disclosure regarding the fair value of financial instruments. In the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded a gain of $7,000 on the fair value re-measurement of the warrants.
Stock Compensation
In 2003, the board of directors adopted and the stockholders approved the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (“2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to employees, consultants and non-employee members of the board of directors, and issuance of shares of common stock for purchase or as a bonus for services rendered (restricted stock awards).
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had restricted stock awards that vested. We are required to withhold income taxes at statutory rates based on the closing market value of the vested shares on the date of vesting. We offer employees the ability to have vested shares withheld by us in an amount equal to the amount of taxes to be withheld. Based on this, we purchased 55,210 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2012, with a cost of approximately $44,000, from employees to cover federal and state taxes due. Refer to Part II, Item 2 for share repurchase activity for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
We account for stock-based compensation awards issued to employees and directors using the guidance from FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. FASB ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This guidance requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of stock options to employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions, including expected time to exercise, future stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates, and dividend rates which greatly affect the calculated values. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of an estimated forfeiture rate. These factors could change in the future, which would affect the stock-based compensation expense in future periods. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards to employees is amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the awards.

We expense stock-based compensation to the same operating expense categories that the respective award grantee’s salary expense is reported. The table below reflects stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

At March 31, 2012, approximately $1 million of stock-based compensation relating to unvested awards had not been amortized and will be expensed in future periods through 2016. Under current grants that are unvested and outstanding, approximately $500,000 will be expensed in the remainder of 2012 as stock-based compensation, subject to true-up adjustments for forfeitures and vestings during the year.
We calculate the value of our stock option awards when they are granted. Accordingly, we update our valuation assumptions for the risk-free interest rate on the date of grant. Annually, we prepare an analysis of the historical activity within our option plans as well as the demographic characteristics of the grantees of options within our stock option plan to determine the estimated life of the grants, stock volatility and an estimated forfeiture rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the weighted average valuation assumptions for stock option awards and forfeiture rates used for the expense calculations for stock option and restricted stock awards were as follows:

Expected life of our option grants is estimated based on our analysis of our actual historical option exercises and cancellations. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded shares of our stock over the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instrument with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected term. We have not historically paid dividends and we do not expect to pay dividends in the near term and therefore we have set the dividend rate at 0.0%.

In accordance with the 2003 Plan, the number of shares authorized for grant under the 2003 Plan automatically increases on the first trading date of January by an amount equal to the lesser of 4% of our outstanding common stock at December 31 or 1,000,000 shares. Shares outstanding at December 31, 2011 were 26,812,935 and the additional shares authorized amounted to 1,000,000 as shown in the table above.
The following table summarizes the activity with regard to restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Restricted stock awards are issued from the 2003 Plan and any issuances reduce the shares available for grant as indicated in the previous table.

On April 2, 2012, we entered an agreement to lease approximately 43,000 square feet of call center space in the Greenfield District of Manila. The lease has a two-year term and terminates in March 2014. This facility will be utilized to better accommodate our current operations in Manila and provide additional space for expansion. Based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, and the free and discounted base rent, our annual base rent will be approximately $413,000. On April 10, 2012, we provided a letter of intent to terminate our lease in the BPI Buendia Center building in Manila and exit the facility as of June 30, 2012.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under Part I Item 1A – “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012 and amended on April 30, 2012, that may cause our, or our industry’s, actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activities, performance or achievements expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Among the important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include general market conditions, the current very difficult macro-economic environment and its impact on our business as our clients are reducing their overall marketing spending and our clients’ customers are reducing their purchase of services contracts, the high degree of uncertainty and our limited visibility due to economic conditions, our ability to execute our business strategy, our ability to integrate acquisitions without disruption to our business, the effectiveness of our sales team and approach, our ability to target, analyze and forecast the revenue to be derived from a client and the costs associated with providing services to that client, the date during the course of a calendar year that a new client is acquired, the length of the integration cycle for new clients and the timing of revenues and costs associated therewith, our client concentration given that we are currently dependent on a few significant client relationships, potential competition in the marketplace, the ability to retain and attract employees, market acceptance of our service programs and pricing options, our ability to maintain and develop our existing technology platform and to deploy new technology, our ability to sign new clients and control expenses, the possibility of the discontinuation of some client relationships, the potential for additional litigation and adverse outcomes to litigation we are currently involved in, the financial condition of our clients’ businesses, our ability to raise additional equity or debt financing and other factors as detailed in Part I Item 1A – “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012 and amended on April 30, 2012.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements publicly for any reason even if new information becomes available in the future, except as may be required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies/Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Although actual results have historically been reasonably consistent with management’s expectations, future results may differ from these estimates or our estimates may be affected by different assumptions or conditions.
Management has discussed the development of our critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the board of directors and they have reviewed the disclosures of such policies and management’s estimates in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
With the establishment of our Canadian foreign subsidiary and the subsequent purchase of Canadian based assets in 2007, we adopted a policy for recording foreign currency transactions and translation in accordance with FASB ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. For our Canadian subsidiary, the functional currency has been determined to be the local currency, and therefore, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, and statement of operations items are translated at an average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Such translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity, and in the the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Also in 2007, we acquired Qinteraction Limited and its Philippine-based subsidiary. As a result of this acquisition, we also adopted the policy mentioned above for recording foreign currency transactions and translations for this subsidiary as the functional currency has been determined to be the local currency for the Philippine-based subsidiary. In January of 2009, we established our Rainmaker Europe subsidiary in the United Kingdom. We adopted the policy mentioned above for recording foreign currency transactions and translations for this subsidiary as the functional currency has been determined to be the local currency (Great Britain Pound) for the UK-based subsidiary. Gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions are included in interest and other (income) expense, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Management believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2012 and amended on April 30, 2012.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Net Revenue. Net revenue decreased $197,000, or 2%, to $8.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Revenue from our contract sales and training sales product lines decreased slightly compared to the prior year due to net attrition. Lead development revenue from our product line also decreased slightly over the comparative 2011 period due to a loss of client programs in our Asia and Europe operations, offset by new programs with Microsoft, a significant client in both 2011 and 2012.
Cost of Services and Gross Margin. Cost of services decreased $120,000, or 2%, to $5.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the 2011 comparative period, due primarily to lower revenue. Our gross margin percentage was 35% in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. We expect cost of services to increase with revenue and gross margin to improve in the second half of the year due to growth in our higher margin solutions.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $383,000, or 41%, to $560,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the 2011 comparative period. The change is primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs of $197,000, a reduction in corporate marketing costs of $100,000 and a reduction in sales commissions of $63,000. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase for the remainder of the year due to increased sales commissions due to 2012 revenue growth.
Technology and Development Expenses. Technology and development expenses decreased $71,000, or 4%, to $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the 2011 comparative period. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in personnel costs of approximately $91,000 and reduced telecommunication costs of $57,000, offset by increased outsourced service and maintenance costs of $98,000. We expect technology and development expenses to decrease in 2012 due to cost saving initiatives.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $740,000, or 32%, to $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the 2011 comparative period. The decrease was primarily due to reduced stock compensation expense of $373,000, a reduction in personnel costs of $130,000 due to reductions in our workforce, $100,000 reduction in rent expense related to the exit of our Montreal facility and a reduction of $75,000 in board of directors' compensation. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain flat over the remainder of the year excluding any one-time costs related to our move to a new facility in Asia.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $542,000, or 47%, to $607,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the 2011 comparative period. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased due to software and equipment assets becoming fully depreciated in both the U.S. and Philippines and acquisition related intangible assets becoming fully amortized. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to continue to decrease as other assets become fully depreciated or amortized.

Net interest expense remained consistent in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The currency translation gain is primarily due to the fluctuation of currency exchange rates on our borrowing facilities and our note payable, denominated in United States Dollars, owed by our foreign subsidiaries. These include our loan line facility, payable to HSBC Bank by our Philippine subsidiary, as well as our overdraft facility payable to Barclays Bank by our United Kingdom subsidiary. Fluctuations of currency exchange rates may have a negative effect in future periods on our financial results.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $9,000, or 13%, to $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, is based on our estimate of taxable income for the full year ending December 31, 2012, and primarily consists of estimates of foreign taxes and domestic gross margin taxes for certain states. We do not anticipate material changes to our implied effective tax rate for the year.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $673,000, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of changes in operating assets and liabilities that generated $1.4 million of cash for the period, as well as non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of property and intangibles of $607,000 and stock-based compensation expenses of $187,000, partly offset by a net loss totaling $1.5 million.
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily the result of net loss totaling $3.1 million, non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of property and intangibles of $1.1 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $625,000 and changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $519,000 of cash.
Cash used in investing activities was $358,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $363,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The change is primarily the result of decreases in capital expenditures of approximately $92,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. In addition, there was a increase in our restricted cash balance of approximately $4,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to an decrease in the restricted cash balance of approximately $83,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Restricted cash represents the reserve for the refunds due for non-service payments inadvertently paid to us by our clients’ customers instead of paid directly to our clients. At the time of cash receipt, we record a current liability for the amount of non-service payments received. The change in restricted cash represents an increase in the balance of refunds due to customers.
Cash used in financing activities was approximately $774,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $401,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Cash used in financing activities was primarily a result of repayment of borrowings of $593,000 and purchases of $159,000 of treasury stock from employees for shares withheld for income taxes payable on restricted stock awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily result of repayment of borrowings of $336,000, purchases of $175,000 of treasury stock from employees for shares withheld for income taxes payable on restricted stock awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and net repayments on our overdraft facility of $109,000, offset by proceeds from capital lease obligations of $216,000.

Our principal source of liquidity as of March 31, 2012 consisted of $8.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our cash and cash equivalent balance and anticipated improvements in cash flows from operations due to forecasted revenue growth and operating cash savings from our implemented and planned cost saving initiatives will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the next twelve months. We will likely elect to maintain our current level of borrowings, subject to our ability to arrange new debt facilities or renew our existing debt facilities, to assist in funding our future growth and working capital requirements. Our debt balance as of March 31, 2012 was $4.3 million, which matures before December 31, 2012. If forecasted revenue growth does not materialize, or if we are unsuccessful in reducing the usage of cash to fund our operations, we will be required to seek additional external financing or further reduce operating costs, which could jeopardize our current operations and future strategic initiatives and business plans. However, external financing sources may not be available, may be inadequate to fund our operations, or may be on terms unfavorable to the Company.
Credit Arrangements
In April 2004, we entered into a business loan agreement and a commercial security agreement with Bridge Bank (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility, as last amended in November 2011, matures on December 10, 2012. The maximum amount of credit that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility is $6 million, subject to a borrowing base, and includes a $1.0 million sub-

23


facility for standby letters of credit. The interest rate per annum for advances under the Credit Facility is equal to the greater of (i) 3.5%, or (ii) one quarter of one percent (0.25%) above the prime lending rate, currently at 3.25%. As of March 31, 2012, we had borrowings of $3.3 million and letters of credit of $500,000 outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our consolidated assets, including intellectual property. We must comply with certain financial covenants, including not incurring a quarterly non-GAAP profit or loss negatively exceeding by more than 10% the amount of the non-GAAP profit or loss recited in our operating plan approved by Bridge Bank (the "performance to plan" financial covenant), and maintaining unrestricted cash with Bridge Bank equal to the greater of $2.0 million or the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness from time to time outstanding with Bridge Bank plus $1 million. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that will, subject to limited exceptions, require Bridge Bank’s approval to, among other things, (i) create liens; (ii) make annual capital expenditures above a certain level; (iii) pay cash dividends; and (iv) merge or consolidate with another company above a certain amount of total consideration. The Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default, including nonpayment, breach of covenants, payment defaults of other indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization that may result in acceleration of outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we did not meet the performance to plan financial covenant as our quarterly non-GAAP loss exceeded the amount of non-GAAP loss in our operating plan, approved by Bridge Bank, for our first quarter's results of operations by more than 10%. We received a waiver from Bridge Bank for the non-compliance with this covenant for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We were in compliance with all other loan covenants.
In July 2005, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $100,000 to our landlord for a security deposit for our corporate headquarters located in Campbell, California. In December 2010, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of £250,000 Great Britain Pounds, or $400,000 based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, to Barclays Bank PLC to secure our overdraft facility described below. Both letters of credit were issued under the Credit Facility described above. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts had been drawn against the letters of credit.
Loan Line Facility
On October 28, 2010, we entered into a business loan agreement with HSBC Bank (the “Loan Line Facility”). The Loan Line Facility provides borrowing availability up to a maximum of $630,000 secured by a $700,000 SDC. In December 2010, we borrowed $630,000 under this Loan Line Facility. In November 2011, we renewed our borrowings under this facility, and the SDC, through October 2012. The interest rate is based on prevailing rates at the time of drawdown and may be revised periodically with advance notice. The current interest rate is 3.87% and interest payments are due at the end of every interest rate revision term or payment of principal.

Overdraft Facility
On November 25, 2010, our subsidiary, Rainmaker EMEA Limited, established an overdraft facility with Barclays Bank PLC in the amount of £247,500 Great Britain Pounds, or $396,000 based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2012. The interest rate is 3.5% per annum over the Bank’s Base Rate, as defined in the agreement, or 4.0% at March 31, 2012. This overdraft facility is secured by the £250,000 standby letter of credit issued by Bridge Bank as noted above. The facility does not have a cancellation date, but the Bank may review the overdraft facility from time to time and at least annually. The next annual review is scheduled for November 2012. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had borrowed $383,000 and $381,000 under this facility, respectively.
Notes Payable – Optima acquisition
On January 29, 2010, we entered into and closed a stock purchase agreement for Optima Consulting Partners Limited (“Optima”). In accordance with this agreement, we entered into a note payable for $350,000 payable in two installments, with $200,000 plus accrued interest due eighteen months from the closing date and $150,000 plus accrued interest due twenty-four months after the closing date. We paid the first installment of the note in July 2011 and fully settled the liability by paying the second installment in January 2012. The interest rate on the note payable was 0.4% per year and we recorded the present value of the note payable discounted over two years at a rate of 6.2%. The resulting discount on note payable was amortized over the two-year term of the note.
Notes Payable – insurance
On August 4, 2011, we entered into an agreement with AON Private Risk Management to finance our 2011 - 2012 insurance premiums with AFCO Acceptance Corporation in the amount of approximately $57,000. The interest rate on the note payable is 6.992% and the note is payable in ten equal monthly installment payments beginning in August 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the remaining liability was $12,000 under this financing agreement.

Capital Lease Obligations
In February 2011, Rainmaker Asia entered into a two-year computer equipment agreement with Japan-PNB Leasing and Finance Corporation. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we are paying monthly installments of approximately $11,000 based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Leases Commitments
As of March 31, 2012, our off-balance sheet arrangements include operating leases for our facilities and certain property and equipment that expire at various dates through 2013. All of these leases are described in more detail below. These arrangements allow us to obtain the use of the equipment and facilities without purchasing them. If we were to acquire these assets, we would be required to obtain financing and record a liability related to the financing of these assets. Leasing these assets under operating leases allows us to use these assets for our business while minimizing the obligations and upfront cash flow related to purchasing the assets.
In October 2009, we executed a second amendment to the operating lease for our corporate headquarters in Campbell, California to reduce our lease cost. Under this amendment, we reduced the amount of space that we lease by 6,719 square feet to 16,430 square feet starting October 1, 2009, and reduced our lease cost per square foot by approximately 18%. We obtained a first right of refusal to the reduced space (6,719 square feet). Under this second amendment, the lease will expire on January 31, 2013. Annual gross rent under the amended lease was approximately $227,000 in the first year of the lease which ended September 30, 2010, and increases by approximately 5% each year thereafter for the remaining term expiring January 31, 2013. In addition, we will continue to pay our proportionate share of operating costs and taxes based on our occupancy and the original letter of credit issued to the landlord in the amount of $100,000 for a security deposit will remain in place.
In September 2011, we extended an existing lease in Austin, Texas on approximately 21,388 square feet of space for a term of 24 months through December 31, 2013. Annual rent in the facility approximates $212,000, or $18,000 monthly. Additionally, we pay our proportionate share of maintenance on the common areas in the business park.
In September 2011, we modified our lease in the BPI Buendia Center building in Manila. The modification reduced the leased space from three floors to two, and we now occupy approximately 27,000 square feet. The lease for this space terminates on March 31, 2013. Based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, our annual base rent will escalate from approximately $435,000 in the current year of the lease to $470,000 for the final year of the lease. On May 1, 2010, we executed a lease for approximately 15,852 square feet of call center space in the Alphaland Southgate Tower in Makati City. The lease has a three-year term and terminates on April 30, 2013. Based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, and the free and discounted base rent included in the lease agreement, our annual base rent will escalate from approximately $220,000 in the current year of the lease to approximately $238,000 in the final year of the lease.
With our acquisition of Optima in January 2010, we assumed an office lease in the United Kingdom in Godalming outside of London, where we have call center and sales operations. This cancellable lease, which was expanded to accommodate growth in October 2010, commenced in November 2009, has a three-year term and terminates in October 2012. In September 2011, we leased additional space in Godalming due to the continued expansion of our European operations. This lease has a one-year term. Combined annual base rent for these facilities is £180,000 Great Britain Pounds. Based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2012, annual rent is approximately $287,000 in U.S. dollars.
Rent expense under operating lease agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $361,000 and $488,000, respectively. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 includes $0 and $99,000, respectively, related to the closure of our Montreal Facility in 2010.
On April 2, 2012, we entered an agreement to lease approximately 43,000 square feet of call center space in the Greenfield District of Manila. The lease has a two-year term and terminates in March 2014. This facility will be utilized to better accommodate our current operations in Manila and provide additional space for expansion. Based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2012, and the free and discounted base rent, our annual base rent will be approximately $413,000.
Guarantees
In July 2005, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $100,000 to our landlord for a security deposit for our corporate headquarters located in Campbell, California. The letter of credit was issued under the Credit Facility described above. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts had been drawn against the letter of credit.
On October 28, 2010, we entered into a business loan agreement with HSBC Bank (the “Loan Line Facility”). The $630,000 Loan Line Facility is secured by a $700,000 SDC and matures in October 2012. The SDC is secured by a cash balance of

25


approximately $703,000 held with HSBC Bank.
In December 2010, we issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of £250,000 Great Britain Pounds, or $400,000 based on the exchange rates as of March 31, 2012, to Barclays Bank. The letter of credit was issued under the Credit Facility described above. As of March 31, 2012, no amounts had been drawn against the letter of credit.

Our customer contracts typically require us to contingently indemnify against certain qualified third party claims. The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not had to make any payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on our balance sheets as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Potential Impact of Inflation
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our business.

Recent Accounting Standards
In September 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU No. 2011-08 – Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This update permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. This new guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011. We elected not to early adopt and will implement ASU No. 2011-08 as part of our 2012 impairment testing.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This pronouncement was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012, as reflected in Note 7, Fair Value Measurements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU No. 2011-05 – Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This update requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2012 and elected to present a single continuous statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
