Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)



1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation

Business Description
Voltari Corporation (“Voltari” or the “Company”) empowers our customers (including brands, marketers and advertising agencies) to maximize the reach and economic potential of the mobile ecosystem through the delivery of relevance-driven merchandising, digital marketing and advertising solutions, primarily over smartphones and other mobile devices. Voltari uses advanced predictive analytics capabilities and real-time data management (including sophisticated data curation and modeling) to deliver the right content to the right person at the right time. Voltari’s unique combination of technology, expertise and go-to-market approach delivers return-on-investment for our customers.

Advertisers pay us to deliver their ads to mobile users, and we pay website and mobile application owners (or their proxies) for the use of their ad space. Our proprietary technology and data management platform allows us to analyze and augment the information accompanying web and mobile advertising opportunities and quickly deliver highly targeted and engaging ad content to consumers in both programmatic and mediated environments. Our platform uses mass volumes of third-party data along with ad response and location data and, when available, first-party consumer data to generate, in real time, a score for each unique advertising opportunity which can be measured against an advertiser's creative materials and campaign goals.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, litigation and other loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its common stock on April 23, 2013. The exercise price and the number of common shares issuable under the Company’s share-based compensation plans and upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase common stock, as well as the issued and outstanding share capital have been correspondingly adjusted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the reverse stock split.

Reclassifications
During 2013, we exited our U.S. carrier business and completed the sale of our Generation5 Mathematical Technology ("Gen5") business. On May 30, 2014, we completed the sale of our U.S. and Canadian messaging business. Further, during the second quarter of 2014, we commenced negotiations for the sale of our wireless carrier business in the United Kingdom ("UK"). As a result, the operations of our U.S. and Canadian messaging business and UK wireless carrier business are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented, and the operations of our U.S. carrier and Gen5 businesses are reported as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The assets and liabilities related to our UK wireless carrier business are reported as assets and liabilities held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. See Note 5 - Discontinued Operations for more information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are those that we believe are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Management believes there have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2014, and such adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this ASU supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and creates a single, principle-based revenue recognition framework that is codified in a new FASB ASC Topic 606. The core principle of this guidance is for the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is not permitted. The new standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, which amends FASB ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements and FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. This standard amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company expects to adopt this standard on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2015. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

5. Discontinued Operations

U.S. Carrier Operations
We decided to wind down our U.S. carrier operations as a result of the termination of two material revenue generating agreements with AT&T effective June 30, 2013. Accordingly, all operations related to our U.S. carrier business are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Gen5 and Messaging Operations
On October 31, 2013, we completed the sale of our Gen5 business to a third party. On May 30, 2014, we completed the sale of our U.S. and Canadian messaging business. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.1 million on the disposition of our U.S. and Canadian messaging business which is included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The operations related to Gen5 are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and the operations related to our U.S. and Canadian messaging business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities related to our U.S. and Canadian messaging business are reported as held for sale on the historical consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013.

Accordingly, the operations related to our UK carrier business are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities related to the UK carrier business are reported as assets and liabilities held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

7. Redeemable Preferred Stock

Upon successful completion of our rights offering in October 2012, we issued 1,199,643 shares of 13% Redeemable Series J Preferred Stock (the "Series J preferred stock") and, after giving effect to the one-for-ten reverse stock split that took effect in April 2013, 1,014,982 common stock warrants in exchange for approximately $30 million in cash proceeds. Net proceeds from the rights offering of approximately $27.8 million were allocated between Series J preferred stock and common stock warrants based on their estimated relative fair market values at the date of issuance as determined by management with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist. The portion of the net proceeds from the rights offering attributable to the Series J preferred stock was determined to be approximately $26.4 million and is included in Redeemable preferred stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Our Series J preferred stock contains certain redemption features and is classified as mezzanine equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 since the shares are (i) redeemable at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of certain events and (ii) have conditions for redemption which are not solely within our control. Our Series J preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the holder if the Company undergoes a change in control, which includes a person becoming a beneficial owner of securities representing at least 50% of the voting power of our company, a sale of substantially all of our assets, and certain business combinations and mergers which cause a change in 20% or more of the voting power of our company, and if we experience an ownership change (within the meaning of Section 382), which results in a substantial limitation on our ability to use our net operating losses and related tax benefits. The difference between the carrying value of the Series J preferred stock and its liquidation value is being accreted over an anticipated redemption period of five years using the effective interest method. The shares of Series J preferred stock have limited voting rights and are not convertible into shares of our common stock or any other series or class of our capital stock.

Holders of the Series J preferred stock are entitled to an annual dividend of 13%, which is payable in cash or in-kind at our discretion, on a quarterly basis. To date, we have elected to pay all quarterly dividend payments on our Series J preferred stock, in the cumulative amount of $7.5 million, in-kind rather than in cash. Accordingly, we have increased the carrying value of our Series J preferred stock for the amount of the paid in-kind dividend payments. Dividends on the Series J preferred stock and the accretion increase the amount of net loss that is attributable to common stockholders and are presented as separate amounts on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our Series J preferred stock has a preference upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company in respect of assets available for distribution to stockholders. The liquidation preference of the Series J preferred stock is initially $25 per share. If the quarterly cash dividends on the Series J preferred stock are not paid, which has been the case to date, the liquidation preference is adjusted and increased quarterly (i) until October 11, 2017, by an amount equal to 3.25% of the liquidation preference per share, as in effect at such time and (ii) thereafter by an amount equal to 3.5% of the liquidation preference per share, as in effect at such time. The quarterly accretion will continue until the shares are redeemed, or until the Company's affairs are liquidated, dissolved or wound-up.

As of June 30, 2014, our Series J preferred stock has an aggregate redemption value of approximately $37.5 million, including paid in-kind dividends of $6.3 million and accrued dividends of $1.2 million which are included within Other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We recorded accretion associated with our Series J preferred stock of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Basic net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders includes the effects of any warrants, options and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. For the periods presented, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding, therefore basic and diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders are equal. In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-19, we did not consider any potential common shares in the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2013 due to the loss from continuing operations, as they would have an antidilutive effect on the loss. The following table presents the outstanding antidilutive securities excluded from the calculation of net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders:

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings
Putative Securities Class Action.  We previously announced that Joe Callan filed a putative securities class action complaint in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of Motricity, Inc. ("Motricity") between June 18, 2010 and August 9, 2011 or in Motricity's initial public offering. Motricity, which was our predecessor registrant, is now our wholly-owned subsidiary and has changed its name to Voltari Operating Corp. The defendants in the case were Motricity, certain of our current and former directors and officers, including Ryan K. Wuerch, James R. Smith, Jr., Allyn P. Hebner, James N. Ryan, Jeffrey A. Bowden, Hunter C. Gary, Brett Icahn, Lady Barbara Judge CBE, Suzanne H. King, Brian V. Turner; and the underwriters in Motricity's initial public offering, including J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets Corporation, Robert W. Baird & Co Incorporated, Needham & Company, LLC and Pacific Crest Securities LLC. The complaint alleged violations under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), by all defendants and under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act by Motricity and those of our former and current officers who are named as defendants. The complaint sought, inter alia, damages, including interest and plaintiff's costs and rescission. A second putative securities class action complaint was filed by Mark Couch in October 2011 in the same court, also related to alleged violations under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On November 7, 2011, the class actions were consolidated, and lead plaintiffs were appointed pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. On December 16, 2011, plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint which added a claim under Section 12 of the Securities Act to its allegations of violations of the securities laws and extended the putative class period

(unaudited)


from August 9, 2011 to November 14, 2011.  The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 11, 2012 and a second amended complaint on July 11, 2012. On August 1, 2012, we filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, which was granted on January 17, 2013. A third amended complaint was filed on April 17, 2013. On May 30, 2013, we filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint, which was granted by the Court on October 1, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On April 25, 2014, the plaintiffs filed their opening appellate brief and on July 24, 2014 we filed our answering brief.

Derivative Actions. During September and October 2011, three shareholder derivative complaints were filed against Voltari Operating Corp. (then known as Motricity, Inc.) and certain of our current and former directors and officers (including Messrs. Wuerch, Smith, Jr., Hebner, Ryan, Bowden, Gary, Icahn, Turner and Lady Barbara Judge CBE, Suzanne H. King, James L. Nelson and Jay Firestone) in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington at Seattle. The complaints allege various violations of state law, including breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment based on alleged false and misleading statements in press releases and other SEC filings disseminated to shareholders. The derivative complaints seek, inter alia, a monetary judgment, restitution, disgorgement and a variety of purported corporate governance reforms. Two of the derivative actions were consolidated on October 27, 2011. On November 8, 2011, the parties filed a stipulation to stay completely the consolidated derivative action until the Court ruled on the dismissal motion in the consolidated class action.  The court granted the parties' stipulation on November 10, 2011, thereby staying the consolidated derivative action.  On November 14, 2011, the third derivative action was transferred to the consolidated derivative proceeding, thereby subjecting it to the proceeding's litigation stay. The consolidated derivative proceeding was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff, without prejudice, by a notice filed on December 3, 2013.

From time to time, we are subject to claims in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that we are currently party to any pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 12E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

Our actual results could be different from the results described in or anticipated by our forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be materially better or worse than anticipated. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this report, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed above, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. We caution you that these risks are not exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment and new risks emerge from time to time.

Business Overview
We empower our customers (including brands, marketers and advertising agencies) to maximize the reach and economic potential of the mobile ecosystem through the delivery of relevance-driven merchandising, digital marketing and advertising solutions, primarily over smartphones and other mobile devices. Voltari uses advanced predictive analytics capabilities and real-time data management (including sophisticated data curation and modeling) to deliver the right content to the right person at the right time. Voltari’s unique combination of technology, expertise and go-to-market approach delivers return-on-investment for our customers.

Advertisers pay us to deliver their ads to mobile users, and we pay website and mobile application owners (or their proxies) for the use of their ad space. Our proprietary technology and data management platform allows us to analyze and augment the information accompanying web and mobile advertising opportunities and quickly deliver highly targeted and engaging ad content to consumers in both programmatic and mediated environments. Our platform uses mass volumes of third-party data along with ad response and location data and, when available, first-party consumer data to generate, in real time, a score for each unique advertising opportunity which can be measured against an advertiser's creative materials and campaign goals. To date, we have identified more than 200 million server-side unique device profiles, many of which link multiple mobile devices to a single user. We continually collect additional anonymous data about users, audiences and their responses to mobile advertisements, which, in turn, refines our targeting and improves our placement choices.

Prior to July 1, 2013, most of our revenue was derived from providing hosting services to wireless carriers. Starting in 2012, we began our exit from most of our international carrier business and, on June 30, 2013, concluded our U.S. carrier business. On October 31, 2013, we completed the sale of our Gen5 business. On May 30, 2014, we completed the sale of our U.S. and Canadian messaging business. Further, during the second quarter of 2014, we commenced negotiations for the sale of our wireless carrier business in the UK. We are now fully focused on our digital media and marketing business and are planning to expand our product offerings to add online and display solutions to our suite of mobile data marketing services. We are also offering predictive analytics services to, and are in active discussions with, website owners, mobile advertising trading desks and mobile ad exchanges.

Recent Developments
To address the challenges presented by the market conditions and the other risks and uncertainties facing our business and to realign our strategic path, we have continued to implement cost saving measures, including reductions in our workforce, the delay or cancellation of some hiring plans, and a restructuring of our facilities and data centers. We continue to review our cost structure and may implement further cost saving initiatives. These measures are designed to realign our strategic path, streamline our business and improve the quality of our product offerings while reducing costs. Our success will depend on our ability to successfully execute one or more financing alternatives, successfully develop and use new technologies and adapt our current and planned services to new customer requirements or emerging industry standards and expand our customer base, which are all subject to the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This realignment of our strategic path and consideration of financing options will continue to require management time and resources, while we simultaneously focus on developing new product offerings and reducing costs. We are planning to expand our product offerings to add online and display solutions to our suite of mobile data services. We are also offering predictive analytics services to, and are in active discussions with, website owners, mobile advertising trading desks and mobile ad exchanges. We cannot assure that we will be successful in our efforts in obtaining financing, realigning our strategic path, or increasing our focus on our digital media and marketing business. The uncertainty inherent in our strategic review can be difficult to manage, may cause concerns from current and potential customers, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business, and may increase the likelihood of turnover of officers and key employees.

On May 22, 2014, we received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") advising that, based on our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company does not meet the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity value requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter also stated that, as of May 21, 2014, the Company did not satisfy the alternative requirements for continued listing based on market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations pursuant NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 5550(b)(2) and 5550(b)(3), respectively. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rules, we have submitted a plan which is currently under review by NASDAQ. If the plan is accepted, NASDAQ may grant an extension of up to 180 days from the Company’s receipt of NASDAQ’s letter on May 22, 2014 to evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity value, market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations requirements. If the plan is not accepted and we cannot meet NASDAQ's continued listing requirements, NASDAQ may delist our common stock, which could reduce the liquidity and market price of our common stock, as well as our Series J preferred stock and our common stock warrants. See Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

As a result of the recent significant changes in our company, the termination of our carrier business, the sale of Gen5 and our messaging business, the realignment of our strategic path and enhanced focus on our digital media and marketing business, our exploration of financing alternatives and other changes in our business, our historical results of operations, including periods prior to the periods presented herein, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2014 or any future period.

Results of Operations
Our continuing operations consist of our mobile media and advertising business. During 2013, we exited our U.S. carrier business and completed the sale of our Gen5 business. On May 30, 2014, we completed the sale of our messaging business in the U.S. and Canada. Further, during the second quarter of 2014, we commenced negotiations for the sale of our wireless carrier business in the UK. As a result, the operations of our U.S. and Canadian messaging business and UK wireless carrier business are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented and all of the operations related to our U.S. carrier and Gen5 businesses are reported as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. See Note 5 - Discontinued Operations to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $0.8 million, or 41.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 and total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $1.4 million, or 39.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in total revenue for these periods is directly attributable to increased sales of mobile advertising resulting from new customer acquisitions and increased sales to existing customers.

Substantially all of our revenues from continuing operations are generated in the U.S. for all periods presented.

Three customers accounted for 41% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and two customers accounted for 30% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014. One customer accounted for 48% and 44% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Direct third-party expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, direct third-party expenses increased $0.3 million, or 18.0%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, direct third-party expenses increased $0.7 million, or 27.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. In connection with the increased revenue, we incurred increased costs in the form of fees paid to publishers for displaying customer advertisements, ad data and serving fees.

Datacenter and network operations, excluding depreciation
Datacenter and network operations expense, excluding depreciation, consists primarily of personnel and outsourcing costs to operate our datacenters, as well as power, bandwidth capacity and software maintenance and support. For all periods presented, we allocated certain continuing costs previously borne by discontinued carrier and messaging operations to our mobile media and advertising business.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, datacenter and network operations expense, excluding depreciation, amounted to $1.4 million, of which $1.3 million is included in net loss from continuing operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, these costs amounted to $2.4 million, of which $0.4 million is included in net loss from continuing operations. These costs principally consist of the following, which are related to supporting our carrier-grade data center for our ad network operation, during the second quarter of 2014:
•
$0.7 million in bandwidth expenses, including hosting, infrastructure and server costs;
•
$0.1 million in salaries and benefits and contractor costs; and
•
$0.1 million in facilities and equipment costs, software maintenance and support fees.


17

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, datacenter and network operations expense, excluding depreciation, amounted to $2.8 million, of which $2.6 million is included in net loss from continuing operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, these costs amounted to $5.4 million, of which $0.7 million is included in net loss from continuing operations. These costs consist of the following, which are related to supporting our carrier-grade data center for our ad network operation, during the first half of 2014:
•
$1.2 million in bandwidth expenses, including hosting, infrastructure and server costs;
•
$0.4 million in salaries and benefits and contractor costs; and
•
$0.3 million in facilities and equipment costs, software maintenance and support, and consulting fees.

Product development and sustainment, excluding depreciation
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, product development and sustainment expense, excluding depreciation, increased $0.1 million, or 25.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, product development and sustainment expense, excluding depreciation, increased $0.2 million, or 23.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases are attributable to non-capitalizable, third party service costs incurred in connection with the development of our Voltari-Connect platform.
 
Sales and marketing, excluding depreciation
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, sales and marketing expense, excluding depreciation, decreased $0.2 million, or 14.8%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in personnel and related costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, sales and marketing expense, excluding depreciation, decreased $0.6 million, or 20.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to:
•
$0.4 million reduction in personnel and recruiting costs; and
•
$0.2 million decrease in facilities and equipment costs.

General and administrative, excluding depreciation
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation, decreased $0.8 million, or 30.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to:
•
$0.5 million decrease in salaries and benefits and contractor costs resulting from reductions in personnel and the use of contractors in 2014; and
•
$0.4 million decrease in professional services fees, principally legal, accounting and other costs that were higher in 2013 due to work on various SEC filings related to a reorganization transaction and the one-for-ten reverse stock split occurring in April of that year.
These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in facilities and equipment costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, general and administrative expense, excluding depreciation, decreased $3.8 million, or 51.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.3 million reduction in the aforementioned professional services fees and a $1.5 million decrease in the aforementioned salaries and benefits and contractor costs.

Depreciation and amortization
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.5 million, or 71.5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.1 million, or 82.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. These changes are primarily due to an increase in amortization expense associated with internal-use software, which we began capitalizing in the first quarter of 2013. Amortization expense associated with internal-use software increased $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2013. The remainder of the increase relates to depreciation expense associated with fixed assets retained for use in our mobile media and advertising business after discontinuing our U.S. carrier business.

Other expense, net
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, other expense, net, of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, consisted primarily of interest expense associated with our term loan with High River Limited Partnership, which we repaid in full in August 2013. Other income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was de minimis.

Net income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, reflects the combined net income generated by our U.S. messaging and UK carrier businesses, partially offset by net loss attributable to our Canadian messaging business. Net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 also includes residual charges related to operations discontinued prior to 2014.

Net income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 of $7.9 million and $15.6 million, respectively, primarily reflects the net income generated by our U.S. carrier operations, as well as UK carrier operations, partially offset by net losses attributable to Gen5 and our U.S. and Canadian messaging operations. See Note 5 - Discontinued Operations to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net loss was $4.8 million, compared to net income of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The $6.9 million decrease in net income (increase in net loss) is primarily due to a $7.6 million decrease in income associated with discontinued operations, a $0.7 million increase in operating expenses, partially offset by increased revenue of $0.8 million from continuing operations and a $0.6 million reduction in other expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net loss was $9.9 million, compared to net income of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $12.1 million decrease in net income (increase in net loss) is primarily due to a $15.2 million decrease in income associated with discontinued operations, partially offset by increased revenue of $1.4 million from continuing operations and reductions in operating expenses of $0.5 million and other expense of $1.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal needs for liquidity have been to fund operating losses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service, restructuring expenses, international activity, acquisitions and integration. Our principal source of liquidity as of June 30, 2014 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16 million. On October 11, 2012, we consummated a rights offering that was fully subscribed and resulted in approximately $27.8 million in net proceeds. This contributed to our ability to repay our term loan in the principal amount of $20 million from High River Limited Partnership in August 2013. We continue to use the proceeds from the rights offering for general corporate and working capital purposes, including any acquisitions we may pursue.

Over the near term, we expect that working capital requirements will continue to be our principal need for liquidity. In the long term, working capital requirements are expected to increase if we succeed in executing our longer-term business plan and growing our business, which includes enhanced focus on our digital media and advertising business and new predictive analytics service offerings. We believe that our future cash flow from operations and available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months, but this may not be the case. Our short and long-term liquidity may be affected by the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our short-term liquidity may also be adversely affected if, and to the extent that, our Series J preferred stock becomes redeemable. Our longer-term liquidity and ability to execute on our longer term business plan is contingent on our ability to compensate for the loss of the substantial cash provided from discontinued operations, our ability to raise additional capital, and on our not experiencing any events that may cause redemption of our Series J preferred stock. Our ability to fund our capital needs also depends on our future operating performance, our ability to successfully realign our costs

19

and strategic path, the effect of any financing alternatives we may pursue, and our ability to meet financial covenants under any indebtedness we may incur. We may also need to raise additional capital to execute our longer-term business plan.

We cannot assure that sufficient capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient funds from operations to adequately fund our longer term operating needs. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we may need to implement additional cost reduction measures and explore other sources to fund our longer term business needs. Our failure to do so could result in, among other things, loss of our customers and a loss of our stockholders’ entire investment. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs or raise additional funds may also be adversely affected by the legal proceedings we are subject to as described in Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings. Our operating performance may also be affected by risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $15.4 million and $24.7 million, respectively. The decrease reflects cash used in operating activities of $8.1 million and cash used in investing activities of $1.5 million, partially offset by the impact of a $0.3 million change in cash classified as held for sale at June 30, 2014.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash of $8.1 million was used in operating activities. Operating activities from continuing operations used $8.9 million of cash consisting primarily of our net loss of $9.9 million, adjusted for $0.4 million of income from discontinued operations. The change in our operating assets and liabilities was principally driven by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses mainly due to the timing of receipt and payment of third-party partner invoices during the second quarter of 2014 and a reduction in accruals relating to contractor services, primarily due to lower utilization of finance and accounting contractor personnel. The change in our operating assets and liabilities is offset by various non-cash items, including $2.4 million for depreciation and amortization, $0.2 million for stock-based compensation expense and $0.1 million for other non-cash adjustments. Operating activities from discontinued operations provided $0.8 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash of $1.5 million was used in investing activities. Investing activities from continuing operations used $1.7 million of cash consisting of software development costs associated with our Voltari-Connect platform that were capitalized during the period, including costs to develop new software products and significant enhancements to existing software products. The net cash used was partially offset by investing activities from discontinued operations, which provided $0.2 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2014, consisting of the cash proceeds received from the sale of our U.S. and Canadian messaging business.

Net Cash Provided by/Used in Financing Activities
There was no cash provided by or used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and in certain cases the difference may be material. Our critical accounting policies and estimates include those involved in recognition of revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, software development costs, valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation and accounting for our redeemable preferred stock.

A detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is available in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no material changes with respect to those policies or estimates during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


20

With respect to our goodwill, management's assessment of relevant events and circumstances has not indicated it is more likely than not the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount at June 30, 2014.  We considered the results of our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013, which indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by 33.5%.  Management also considered general economic and industry conditions, our recent and planned financial performance as well as the change in the price of our common stock since 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion of recent accounting pronouncements in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are not required to provide qualitative and quantitative disclosures about market risk because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Acting Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Acting Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
 
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, except as disclosed in Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, except for the following additional risk factor which should be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

If we cannot meet NASDAQ’S continued listing requirements, NASDAQ may delist our common stock which could have an adverse impact on the liquidity and market price of our common stock, Series J preferred stock and common stock warrants.
Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We are required to meet certain minimum financial and other quantitative thresholds to maintain that listing. On May 22, 2014, we received a letter from NASDAQ advising that, based on our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company does not meet the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity value requirement for continued listing pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter also stated that, as of May 21, 2014, the Company did not satisfy the alternative requirements for continued listing based on market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 5550(b)(2) and 5550(b)(3), respectively. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rules, we have submitted a plan which is currently under review by NASDAQ. If the plan is accepted, NASDAQ may grant an extension of up to 180 days from the Company’s receipt of NASDAQ’s letter on May 22, 2014 to evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity value, market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations requirements. There can be no assurance that our plan will be accepted. If the plan is not accepted and we cannot meet NASDAQ's continued listing requirements, NASDAQ will provide notice to us that our common stock will be delisted. A delisting of our common stock could reduce the liquidity and market price of our common stock, Series J preferred stock and common stock

21

warrants, and the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our capital stock. This could also limit our ability to raise capital in an equity financing.
