8X8, INC. 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS THE COMPANY 8x8, Inc. ("8x8" or the "Company") develops and markets communication technology and services
for Internet protocol, or IP, telephony and video applications. The Company was incorporated in California in February 1987, and in
December 1996 was reincorporated in Delaware. The Company offers the Packet8 broadband voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP, and video communications service, Packet8
Virtual Office service and videophone equipment and services. The Packet8 voice and video communications service
("Packet8") enables broadband Internet users to add digital voice and video communications services to their high-speed
Internet connection. Customers can choose a direct-dial phone number from any of the rate centers offered by the service, and then
use an 8x8-supplied terminal adapter to connect any telephone to a broadband Internet connection and make or receive calls from a
regular telephone number. All Packet8 telephone accounts come with voice mail, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding, hold, line-alternate,
3-way conferencing, web access to account controls, and online billing. In addition, 8x8 offers a videophone for use with the
Packet8 service, a business telephone for use with the Packet8 Virtual Office service, and several home telephones and telephone
adapter boxes for use with the residential service. The Company's fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in these notes to the
consolidated financial statements refers to the fiscal year ending March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2008
refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008). LIQUIDITY The Company has sustained net losses and negative cash flows from operations since fiscal 1999 that have been funded
primarily through the issuance of equity securities and borrowings. Management believes that current cash and cash equivalents and
cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to finance the Company's operations through at least the next 12 months.
However, the Company continually evaluates its cash needs and anticipates seeking additional equity or debt financing in order to
achieve the Company's overall business objectives. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or, if available, at
a price that is acceptable to the Company. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital or reduce certain
discretionary spending could have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to achieve its longer term business objectives. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on
substantially the same basis as our annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. In the opinion of
management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from these estimates. The March 31, 2007 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial
statements and does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31,
2007 and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year. - 6 -
Investments The Company's investments are comprised of corporate debt, auction rate securities and certificates of deposit. All short-term
investments are classified as available-for-sale. Packet8 Service Revenue The Company recognizes new subscriber revenue in the month the new order was shipped, net of an allowance for expected
cancellations. The allowance for expected cancellations is based on the Company's history of subscriber conduct or cancellations
within the 30-day trial period. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus No. 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables" requires that revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables be divided into separate units of accounting if the
deliverables in the arrangement meet specific criteria. In addition, arrangement consideration must be allocated among the separate
units of accounting based on their relative fair values, with certain limitations. The provisioning of the Packet8 service with the
accompanying desktop terminal or videophone adapter constitutes a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables. In accordance
with the guidance of EITF No. 00-21, the Company allocates Packet8 revenues, including activation fees, among the desktop terminal
adapter or videophone and subscriber services. Subsequent to the subscriber's initial purchase of the service, revenues allocated to
the desktop terminal adapter or videophone are recognized as product revenues during the period of the sale less the allowance for
estimated returns during the 30 day trial period. All other revenues are recognized when the related services are provided. Deferred Cost of Goods Sold Deferred cost of goods sold represents the cost of products sold for which the customer has a right of return.
The cost of the products sold is recognized contemporaneously with the recognition of revenue. Warrant Liability The Company accounts for its warrants in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF 00-19") which
requires warrants to be classified as permanent equity, temporary equity or as assets or liabilities. In general, warrants that either
require net-cash settlement or are presumed to require net-cash settlement are recorded as assets and liabilities at fair value and
warrants that require settlement in shares are recorded as equity instruments. Certain of the Company's warrants require settlement in
shares and are accounted for as permanent equity. The Company has two investor warrants that are classified as liabilities because
they include a provision that specifies that the Company must deliver freely tradable shares upon exercise by the warrant holder.
Because there are circumstances, irrespective of likelihood, that may not be within the control of the Company that could prevent
delivery of registered shares, EITF 00-19 requires the warrants be recorded as a liability at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair
value recorded as income (loss) in change in fair value of warrant liability. The fair value of the warrants is determined using a Black-
Scholes option pricing model, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility
and contractual term. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)"), which establishes standards for the accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. SFAS 123(R) revised SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123) and superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant), net of estimated forfeitures. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS No. 123(R).
Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards in accordance with APB 25, whereby the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value on the date of grant, the intrinsic value, is recognized as compensation expense. Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, no compensation expense was generally recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the exercise price of the Company's employee stock option grant generally equaled the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. However, to the extent awards were granted either below fair market value or were modified with a
- 7 -
resulting re-measurement of compensation costs, the Company recorded compensation expense.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 included both the unvested portion of stock-based awards granted prior to April 1, 2006 and stock-based awards granted subsequent to April 1, 2006. Stock options granted in periods prior to fiscal 2007 were measured based on SFAS No. 123 criteria, whereas stock options granted subsequent to April 1, 2006 were measured based on SFAS No. 123(R) criteria. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense from the accelerated multiple-option approach to the straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted subsequent to April 1, 2006 is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. Stock-based compensation expense included in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 includes the impact of estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The cumulative effect of changing from using the impact of estimated forfeitures to actual forfeitures was not material. For the periods prior to fiscal 2007, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.
Stock Option Plans The Company has several stock-based compensation plans (the "Plans") that are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The Company, under its various equity plans, grants stock options for shares of common stock to employees, non-employees, directors and consultants.
As of September 30, 2007, the 1992 Stock Plan, 1996 Stock Plan and 1996 Director Option Plan had expired and the 1999 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan was cancelled by the Board, but there are still options outstanding under these plans. Options generally vest over four years, are granted at fair market value on the date of the grant and expire ten years from that date.
In May 2006, the Board approved the 2006 Stock Plan (the "2006 Plan") with a reserve of 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance under such plan. The Company's stockholders subsequently approved the 2006 Plan at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held September 18, 2006, and the 2006 Plan became effective in October 2006. The 2006 Plan provides for granting incentive stock options to employees and nonstatutory stock options to employees, directors or consultants. The stock option price of incentive stock options granted may not be less than the fair market value on the effective date of the grant. Other types of options and awards under the 2006 Plan may be granted at any price approved by the administrator, which generally will be the compensation committee of the board of directors. Options generally vest over four years and expire ten years after grant. The 2006 Plan expires in May 2016.

The following table summarizes the stock options outstanding and exercisable at
September 30, 2007: Stock-based Compensation Expense
As of September 30, 2007, there were $3.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs
are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.84 years.
To value option grants and other awards for actual and pro forma stock-based compensation, the Company has used the Black-Scholes
option valuation model. When the measurement date is certain, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant. Fair value determined using Black-Scholes varies based on assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, expected
life, risk-free interest rates and future dividend payments. During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
the Company used historical volatility of our stock over a period equal to the expected life of the options to estimate their fair value. The
expected life assumption represents the weighted-average period stock-based awards are expected to remain outstanding. These
expected life assumptions are established through the review of historical exercise behavior of stock-based award grants with similar
vesting periods. The risk-free interest rate is based on the closing market bid yields on actively traded U.S. treasury securities in the
over-the-counter market for the expected term equal to the expected term of the option. The dividend yield assumption is based on the
Company's history and expectation of future dividend payouts. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to compute reported and pro forma stock-based
compensation to employees and directors for the three and six months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006: (1) No stock options were granted during the three month period ended September 30, 2006.
In accordance with SFAS 123(R), the Company recorded $401,000 and $587,000 in compensation expense relative to stock options for
the three and six months ended September 30, 2007.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan Under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
eligible employees can participate and purchase common stock semi-annually through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the
fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of each one year offering period or the end of a six month purchase period,
whichever is lower. The contribution amount may not exceed ten percent of an employee's base compensation, including commissions
but not including bonuses and overtime. The Company accounts for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as a compensatory plan
- 9 -
and recorded compensation expense of $29,000 and $48,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2007 in accordance with
SFAS 123(R). The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not impact the Company's methodology to estimate the fair value
of share-based payment awards under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The estimated fair value of stock purchase
rights granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions: As of September 30, 2007, there was $77,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock purchases.
These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.4 years.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs to be reported as a financing
cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. The future realizability of tax benefits related to stock compensation is dependent
upon the timing of employee exercises and future taxable income, among other factors. The Company did not realize any tax benefit
from the stock compensation charge incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 as the Company believes
that it is more likely than not that it will not realize the benefit from tax deductions related to equity compensation.
As prescribed in SFAS No. 123(R), the following table summarizes the distribution of stock-based compensation expense related to
employee stock options and employee stock purchases under SFAS No. 123(R) among the Company's operating functions for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 which was recorded as follows (in thousands):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-03 "How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted
to Government Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)" ("EITF
No. 06-03"). EITF 06-03 provides that the presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed
on revenue-producing transactions (e.g. sales, use, and excise taxes) between a seller and a customer on either a gross basis
(included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed.
In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should be disclosed in interim and annual
financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. EITF 06-03 was
effective April 1, 2007. The Company currently
- 10 -
reports revenue net of taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities.
The adoption of EITF 06-03 did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations and financial
condition. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require
any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157
to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"
("SFAS No. 159") which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the
potential impact of this statement. 3. BALANCE SHEET DETAIL 4. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted
average number of vested, unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period (denominator). Due to net losses incurred for
the three and six months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, basic and diluted shares outstanding for each of the respective periods
are the same. The following options and warrants were not included in the computations of net loss per share because the effect on the
calculations would be anti-dilutive (in thousands): - 11 -
5. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Comprehensive loss, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The
difference between the Company's net loss and comprehensive loss is due primarily to unrealized gains and losses on investments
classified as available-for-sale. Comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows
(in thousands): 6. SEGMENT REPORTING SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," establishes annual and interim
reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and
major customers. Under SFAS No. 131, the method for determining what information to report is based upon the way management
organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The
Company has determined that it has only one reportable segment. The following net revenues for this segment are presented by
groupings of similar products and services (in thousands): No customer represented greater than 10% of the Company's total revenues for the three and six months ended September 30,
2007 or 2006. The Company's revenue distribution by geographic region (based upon the destination of shipments) was as follows:
7. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach. Under the asset and liability approach, a current tax
liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year. A deferred tax liability or
asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributed to temporary differences and carryforwards. If necessary, the deferred
tax assets are reduced by the amount of benefits that, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not expected to be realized.
The Company made no provision for income taxes in any periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements because it incurred net losses for the periods presented, or expects to incur net losses for the current year. - 12 -
Effective April 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the
accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This Interpretation
requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of
being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company believes that any income tax filing positions and
deductions not sustained on audit will not result in a material change to its financial position or results of operations. Therefore,
adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations and financial
condition for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2007. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $2.0 million as of April 1, 2007. The application of FIN 48 would
have resulted in a decrease in the accumulated deficit of $2.0 million, except that the decrease was fully offset by the application of a
valuation allowance. To the extent that the unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized they may have an impact on the
effective tax rate in future periods; however, such impact to the effective tax rate would only occur if the recognition of such
unrecognized tax benefits occurs in a future period when the Company has already determined it is more likely than not that its deferred
tax assets are realizable. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., California and various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we have or had a
subsidiary or branch operations. All tax returns from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 2007 may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue
Service, California and various states. The Company extended the filing date of the 2007 federal tax return and all state income tax
returns. As of September 30, 2007, these returns had not yet been filed. In addition, as of September 30, 2007, there were no active
federal, state or local income tax audits. The foreign tax jurisdictions may be subject to examination for the fiscal years 2005 to
2007. The Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of
operating expense income before taxes. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, we did not have any accrued interest or penalties
associated with any unrecognized tax benefits. Although timing of an audit is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is
reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefit would materially change in the next 12 months. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees Indemnifications In the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies other parties, including customers, lessors and parties to other
transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of the Company's exposure under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on the Company's operating results, financial position or cash flows. Under some of these agreements, however, the Company's potential indemnification liability might not have a contractual limit.

In April 2005, June 2006 and March 2007, the Company entered into a series of noncancelable capital lease
agreements, respectively, for office equipment bearing interest at various rates. At September 30, 2007, future minimum annual lease
payments were as follows (in thousands): Capital leases included in office equipment were $182,000 at September 30, 2007. Total accumulated depreciation was $46,000 at
September 30, 2007. Amortization expense for assets
recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Minimum Third Party Network Service Provider Commitments In July 2006, the Company entered into a contract with one of its third party network service providers containing a minimum
monthly commitment of $400,000 effective June 1, 2006 for 24 months. At September 30, 2007, the total remaining obligation under
the contract was $3.2 million. In March 2007, the Company entered into an additional agreement with this provider to purchase a
minimum of $1.0 million in international usage between March 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008. As of September 30 2007, the Company had
completed its obligation to purchase a minimum of $1.0 million in international usage. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of its
operations. While the results of such claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that it is
not a party to any litigation the final outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. However, should the Company not prevail in any such litigation; it could have a materially adverse
impact on the Company's operating results, cash flows or financial position. State and Municipal Taxes In general, the Company does not collect or remit state or municipal taxes (such as sales and use,
excise, utility user, and ad valorem taxes), fees or surcharges ("Taxes") on the charges to the Company's customers for its services.
The Company does collect and remit California sales and use tax, however. In September 2006, the Company's largest third party
network service provider began passing through state and local E911 taxes to the Company. Beginning October 1, 2006, the Company
began collecting certain state and local E911 charges from its customers that are paid to and remitted through the third party network
service provider. Beginning October 1, 2007, the Company began collecting sales and use tax in one state other than California. The
Company has received inquiries, demands or audit requests from several states and municipal taxing and 911 agencies, and is
currently under audit by one state, seeking payment of Taxes that are applied to or collected from the customers of providers of
traditional public switched telephone network services. The Company has consistently maintained that these Taxes do not apply to its
service for a variety of reasons depending on the statute or rule that establishes such obligations. The Company had recorded an expense of $488,000 and $416,000
for the six months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively as its best estimate of the maximum reasonable tax exposure for
such assessments. The cumulative estimate for maximum assessments is $2,058,000 as of
- 15 -
September 30, 2007, which is recorded in the other accrued liabilities line item in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Aside from Taxes, certain other fees and charges may be applicable to the Company's offering. Three states contend that
providers of interconnected VoIP services, like us, must contribute to its USF fund. The Company does not agree that such state
surcharges are applicable to its service. Should the Company become subject to state USF fees or other telecommunications-related
surcharges, the Company will likely pass such charges through to its customers. The impact of this price increase on our customers or
the Company's inability to recoup its costs or liabilities in remitting USF contributions or other factors could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Several state regulatory authorities have contacted the Company regarding its Packet8 service. These inquiries have ranged from
notification that the Packet8 service should be subject to local regulation, certification and fees to broad inquiries into the nature of the
Packet8 services provided. The Company responds to the various state authorities as inquiries are received. Based on advice of
counsel, the Company disputes the assertion, among others, that the Packet8 service should be subject to state regulation. While the
Company does not believe exposure to fees or penalties exists, if 8x8 is subject to an enforcement action, the Company may become
subject to liabilities and may incur expenses that adversely affect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Regulatory Matters Although several regulatory proceedings are underway or are being contemplated by federal and state authorities, including the
Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, and state regulatory agencies, VoIP communication services have remained largely
unregulated in the United States when compared to traditional telephony services. To date, VoIP service providers have been mainly
treated as information service providers although the FCC has thus far avoided specifically ruling on this classification. Information
service providers are largely exempt from most federal and state regulations governing traditional common carriers. The FCC is
currently examining the status of VoIP service providers and the services they provide. The FCC initiated a notice of proposed rule-
making (NPRM) in early 2004 to gather public comment on the appropriate regulatory environment for IP telephony. In November
2004, the FCC ruled that the VoIP service of a competitor and "similar" services are jurisdictionally interstate and not subject to state
certification, tariffing and most other state telecommunications regulations. The FCC ruling was appealed by several states and on
March 21, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit affirmed the FCC ruling. Interconnected VoIP providers, like us, are required by the FCC to offer 911 emergency calling capabilities similar to those
available to subscribers of traditional switched phone lines. Moreover, interconnected VoIP providers were required to distribute
stickers and labels warning customers of the limitations associated with accessing emergency services through an interconnected VoIP
service, as well as notify and to obtain affirmative acknowledgement from our customers that customers were aware of the differences
between the emergency calling capabilities offered by interconnected VoIP providers as compared to traditional, wireline providers of
telephone service. The FCC's Enforcement Bureau released an order stating that the Enforcement Bureau will not pursue enforcement
against interconnected VoIP providers that have received affirmative acknowledgement from at least 90% of their subscribers. We
have received affirmative acknowledgement from substantially all of our customers and have substantially satisfied this requirement of
the rule. Like many interconnected VoIP providers, we currently cannot offer VoIP E911 services that route emergency calls in a manner
consistent with the FCC rules for all of our customers. We are addressing this issue with our VoIP E911 Solution providers. On
November 28, 2005, we began routing certain 911 calls to a national emergency call center. The emergency dispatchers in this
national call center utilize the location information provided to route the call to the correct PSAP or first responder. The FCC may
determine that our VoIP E911 solution for these customers does not satisfy the requirements of the VoIP E911 order because, in some
instances, we will not be able to connect our subscribers directly to a PSAP. As of October 30, 2007, we provided emergency calling
services to 100% of our subscribers located in the United States and approximately 95% of these subscribers are supported with either
an E911 solution that is in compliance with the VoIP E911 order or were customers prior to November 28, 2005. We may be subject to
enforcement actions including, but not limited to, fines, cease and desist orders, or other penalties for those customers that we are
unable to provide E911 service in a manner consistent with the VoIP E911 order. - 16 -
On August 5, 2005, the FCC unanimously adopted an order requiring interconnected VoIP providers to comply with the
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA. CALEA requires covered providers to assist law enforcement
agencies in conducting lawfully authorized electronic surveillance. Under the FCC order, interconnected VoIP providers were required
to comply with CALEA obligations by May 14, 2007 and make certain filings prior to that date. Consistent with the relevant rules, we
continue to work with a third-party solution provider to devise a CALEA-compliant solution. As of May 14, 2007, we had installed this
solution in our network operations and data centers, but had not yet completed testing of all required intercept capabilities of this
equipment. We are diligently working to complete the testing of this equipment in order to achieve full compliance with the FCC's order.
We may be subject to enforcement actions including, but not limited to, fines, cease and desist orders, or other penalties if we are not
able to comply with a CALEA request. On June 21, 2006, the FCC expanded the base of Universal Service Fund, or USF, contributions to interconnected VoIP providers.
The FCC established a safe harbor percentage of 64.9% of total VoIP service revenue to which federal USF contributions apply. We
were allowed to calculate our contribution based on the safe harbor or by submitting a traffic study that would subsequently be
approved by the FCC. For a period of at least two quarters beginning October 1, 2006, we were required to contribute to the USF for
our subscribers' retail revenues as well as through our underlying carriers' wholesale charges. Beginning October 1, 2006, we began
charging our subscribers a USF surcharge fee equal to the USF contribution amounts we were required to contribute. The FCC order
applying USF contributions to interconnected VoIP providers was appealed and on June 1, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia ruled that the FCC was within its authority when it required interconnected VoIP service providers to contribute to
the Universal Service Fund, though it struck down the provision of the order which required pre-approval of traffic studies by the FCC
and the provision that required double contributions to the fund for two quarters from our underlying carriers' wholesale charges. As a
result of the ruling, we retroactively applied our traffic study contribution rate to the historical subscriber retail revenues which resulted in
the recognition of revenue of $573,000 due to the reduction of the related accrued liability in the first fiscal quarter of 2008. As of July 1,
2007, we are using the results of our traffic study to calculate the required contribution to the USF. Meantime, the FCC continues to
evaluate alternative methods for assessing USF charges, including imposing an assessment on telephone numbers. The outcome of
these proceedings cannot be determined at this time nor can we determine the potential financial impact as the details of an alternative
method of USF contribution have not been determined at this time. There is also a risk that state USF funds may attempt to impose
state USF contribution obligations and other state and local charges. At this time, at least one state contends that providers of
interconnected VoIP services, like us, should contribute to its USF fund. On April 2, 2007, the FCC released an order extending the application of customer proprietary network information, or CPNI, rules
to interconnected VoIP providers. CPNI includes information such as the phone numbers called by a consumer; the frequency,
duration, and timing of such calls; and any services/features purchased by the consumer, such as call waiting, call forwarding, and
caller ID, in addition to other information that may appear on a consumer's bill. Under the FCC's existing rules, carriers may not use
CPNI without customer approval except in narrow circumstances and must comply with detailed customer approval processes when
using CPNI outside of these narrow circumstances. The new CPNI requirements are aimed at establishing more stringent security
measures for access to a customer's CPNI data in the form of enhanced passwords for on-line access and call-in access to account
information as well as customer notification of account or password changes. At the present time we do not utilize our customer's CPNI
in a manner which would require us to obtain consent from our customers, but in the event that we do in the future, we will be required
to adhere to specific CPNI rules aimed at marketing such services. Effective December 8, 2007, we will be required to implement
internal processes in order to be compliant with all of the FCC's CPNI rules. This may impose additional compliance costs on the
Company and reduce our profitability or cause us to increase the retail price for our services. On June 1, 2007, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Proceeding to consider whether it should impose additional
VoIP E911 obligations on interconnected VoIP providers including consideration of a requirement that interconnected VoIP providers
automatically determine the physical location of their customer rather than allowing customers to manually register their location. The
Notice includes a tentative conclusion that all interconnected VoIP service providers that allow customers to use their service in more
than one location (nomadic VoIP service providers such as us) must utilize automatic location technology that meets the same
accuracy standards applicable to providers of commercial mobile radio services (mobile phone service providers). We cannot predict
the outcome of this proceeding nor its impact on the Company at this time. - 17 -
On June 8, 2007, the FCC released an order implementing various recommendations from its Independent Panel Reviewing the
Impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks Panel, including a requirement that certain interconnected VoIP providers
submit reports regarding the reliability and resiliency of their 911 systems. At this time, we are not subject to these reporting
requirements but may become subject in future years. On June 15, 2007, the FCC extended the disability access requirements of Sections 225 and 255 of the Communications Act,
which applied to traditional phone services, to providers of interconnected VoIP services and to manufacturers of specially designed
equipment used to provide those services. Section 255 of the Communications Act requires service providers to ensure that its
equipment and service is accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if readily achievable, including requiring service
providers to ensure that information and documentation provided in connection with equipment or services be accessible to people with
disabilities, where readily achievable and that employee training account for accessibility requirements. In addition, the FCC said that
interconnected VoIP providers were subject to the requirements of Section 225, including contributing to the Telecommunications Relay
Services, or TRS, fund and that they must offer 711 abbreviated dialing for access to relay services. At this time, we cannot predict the
impact of these rules on our business or our ability to comply with these disability access obligations. We may be subject to
enforcement actions including, but not limited to, fines, cease and desist orders, or other penalties if we are not able to comply with
these new disability obligations. The rules established in the Disability Access Order were scheduled to become effective on October 5,
2007, and as of this date, we are planning to remit TRS fund contributions
and had implemented
711 abbreviated dialing which connects all of our customers to California relay service operators. On October 10, 2007, the FCC
granted a limited waiver of the 711 call handling requirement. While still mandating that interconnected VoIP providers like us are
required to transmit 711 calls to a relay center, the FCC waived the requirement, for a period of six months, insofar as it requires such
providers to transmit the 711 call to an "appropriate relay center," meaning the relay center(s) serving the state in which the
caller is geographically located or the relay center(s) corresponding to the caller's last registered address. We are working on
implementing a call routing solution which will route 711 calls to the appropriate relay center as defined in the FCC's order but cannot
predict whether we will be in compliance at the end of the waiver period. On August 6, 2007, the FCC released a Report and Order concerning the collection of regulatory fees for Fiscal Year 2007
("Regulatory Fees Order"), which, for the first time, mandates the collection of such fees from interconnected VoIP service
providers like us. The Regulatory Fees Order requires that interconnected VoIP providers pay regulatory fees based on reported
interstate and international revenues. The Regulatory Fee Order is not yet effective and will not be effective for at least 90 days.
Regulatory fees for Fiscal Year 2007 will be due in 2008 during a separate filing window yet to be determined. Fiscal Year 2008 fees
will also be paid in 2008 during the normal regulatory fee payment window. The assessment of regulatory fees to our service will
increase our costs and reduce our profitability or cause us to increase the price of our retail service offerings. On October 5, 2007, the FCC granted Visit, Inc., a California corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, an
international telecommunications certificate with authority to provide global resale service in accordance with section 63.18(e)(2) of the
Commission's rules. The effect of any future laws, regulations and the orders on our operations, including, but not limited to, the
Packet8 service, cannot be determined. But as a general matter, increased regulation and the imposition of additional funding
obligations increases our costs of providing service that may or may not be recoverable from our customers which could result in
making our services less competitive with traditional telecommunications services if we increase our retail prices or decrease our profit
margins if we attempt to absorb such costs. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the

We develop and market telecommunication technology for Internet protocol, or IP, telephony and video applications. We offer the Packet8 broadband voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP, and video communications service, Packet8 Virtual Office service and videophone equipment and services (collectively, Packet8). We shipped our first VoIP product in 1998, launched our Packet8 service in November 2002, and launched the Packet8 Virtual Office business service offering in March 2004. Substantially all of our revenues are generated from the sale, license and provisioning of VoIP products, services and technologies.
Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in this report refers to the fiscal year ending March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 2007 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008).
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES & ESTIMATES
The 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-03 "How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Government Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)" ("EITF No. 06-03"). EITF 06-03 provides that the presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions (e.g. sales, use, and excise taxes) between a seller and a customer on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should be disclosed in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. EITF 06-03 was effective April 1, 2007. We currently report revenue net of taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities. The adoption of EITF 06-03 did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Effective April 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Adoption of FIN 48 did
- 19 -
not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2007. For additional information about the adoption of FIN 48, refer to Note 7 in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 159") which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
KEY BUSINESS METRICS
We periodically review certain key business metrics, within the context of our articulated performance goals, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies, allocate resources and maximize the financial performance of our business. The key business metrics include the following:
Churn: Average monthly subscriber line churn for a particular period is calculated by dividing the number of lines that terminated during that period by the simple average number of lines during the period and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. The simple average number of lines during the period is the number of lines on the first day of the period, plus the number of lines on the last day of the period, divided by two. Terminations, as used in the calculation of churn statistics, do not include customers terminated during the period if termination occurred within the first 30 days after purchasing our service. Management reviews this metric to evaluate whether we are retaining our existing subscribers in accordance with our business plans. Churn approximated 3.9% for the second fiscal quarter of 2008 and 3.7% for the same period of fiscal 2007. Churn increased due to an increase in churn in our business service product. If we are unable to compete effectively against our existing competitors as well as against potential new entrants into the VoIP telephone service business, in both retaining our existing subscribers and attracting new subscribers, or if an increasing percentage of our customers decide to drop our VoIP services for other reasons such as cost, lack of use, or our inability to meet their requirements for phone service, our churn will likely increase and our business will be adversely affected.
Subscriber acquisition cost: Subscriber acquisition cost is defined as the combined costs for advertising, marketing, promotions, commissions and equipment subsidies. Management reviews this metric to evaluate how effective our marketing programs are in acquiring new subscribers on an economical basis in the context of estimated subscriber lifetime value. Subscriber acquisition costs for both residential and business services remained unchanged at $99 per service for the second fiscal quarter of 2008 compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2007.
Management believes it is useful to monitor these metrics together and not individually as it does not make business decisions based upon any single metric.

Revenues
Service revenues consist primarily of revenues attributable to the provision of our Packet8 service and royalties earned under our VoIP technology licenses. We expect that Packet8 service revenues will continue to comprise nearly all of our service revenues for the foreseeable future.
The increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in revenues attributable to the growth in the Virtual Office subscriber base and an increase in the price of our service instituted on March 1, 2007. In early fiscal 2007, the Company redirected most of its marketing efforts from targeting residential customers to marketing its Packet8 Virtual Office services to small businesses. The Packet8 Virtual Office subscriber base grew from serving approximately 5,000 businesses on September 30, 2006 to more than 9,000 on September 30, 2007. Effective March 1, 2007, we increased the rates on our monthly service fees for our unlimited residential service and unlimited business service for existing customers by $2 and $5, respectively, and by $5 and $10, respectively, for new customers who subscribed to the service after March 1, 2007. The increase in service revenues during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was offset by a net reduction of $0.8 million attributable to residential and videophone services and $0.3 million attributable to our wholesale service and royalty revenue.
The increase for the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year resulted primarily from a $6.1 million increase in revenues attributable to the growth in the Virtual Office subscriber base for Packet8 service and the price increase on March 1, 2007,
as well as a $0.6 million one time increase in revenue due to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in June 2007 that interconnected VoIP providers are not required to obtain pre-approval of traffic studies in determining the portion of revenues subject to federal universal service contributions. As a result of the ruling, we retroactively applied our traffic study contribution rate to the historical subscriber retail revenues which resulted in the recognition of revenue of $573,000 due to the reduction of the related accrued liability in the first fiscal quarter of 2008. The increase in service revenues during the first six months of fiscal 2008 was offset by a net reduction of $0.8 million attributable to residential and videophone services and $0.3 million attributable to our wholesale service and royalty revenue. We also benefited from a $0.1 million increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 due to a change in our revenue recognition policy.

Product revenues consist of revenues from sales of VoIP terminal adapters, telephones and videophones,
primarily attributable to our Packet8 service. Product revenue for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2008 decreased
primarily because we agreed to waive the regular start-up costs, which includes the equipment costs, associated with residential
service plans as part of the transition of a competitor's former customers to the Packet8 service. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007 we
recognized an additional $0.3 million of revenue due to a change in our revenue recognition policy to begin booking new subscriber
revenue in the month in which the new order was shipped. No customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006. Our revenue distribution by geographic region (based upon the destination of shipments) was as follows: Cost of Service Revenues The cost of service revenues primarily consists of costs associated with network operations and related
personnel, telephony origination and termination services provided by third party carriers and technology license and royalty expenses.
Cost of service revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively
over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year due to a reduction in pricing by third party network service vendors and our use of
multiple third party network provider vendors, which allows us to route call traffic to the third party network provider vendor with the
most favorable pricing. Cost of Product Revenues The cost of product revenues consists of costs associated with systems, components, system manufacturing, assembly and testing
performed by third-party vendors, estimated warranty obligations and direct and indirect costs associated with product purchasing,
scheduling, quality assurance, shipping and handling. The increase in the cost of product revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2008
compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily due to an increase in shipments of equipment to residential
subscribers who switched to our service when one of our competitors shut down and terminated its service offering. - 22 -
The decrease in cost of product revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year
was primarily due a $0.3 million reduction in shipments of residential and videophone equipment. The decrease in cost of product
revenues was offset by a $0.1 million increase in shipments of virtual office equipment. We generally do not separately charge Packet8 subscribers for the terminal adapters used to provide our service when they
subscribe on our website. We have offered incentives to customers who purchase terminal adapters in our retail channels to offset the
cost of the equipment purchased from a retailer, and generally these incentives are recorded as reductions of revenue. In accordance
with FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, a portion of Packet8 services revenues is allocated to product revenues, but
these revenues are less than the cost of the terminal adapters at the time of purchase. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel, system prototype, software and equipment costs necessary
for us to conduct our engineering and development efforts. The decrease in research and development expenses for the second
quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel, outside
service and consulting expenses. The decrease in research and development for the first
six months of fiscal 2008 from the period in the prior fiscal year was primarily attributable to a $0.4 million decrease in personnel
expenses. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing,
customer support, finance, human resources and general management. Such costs also include sales commissions, trade show,
advertising and other marketing and promotional expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of
fiscal 2008 increased over the same quarter in the prior fiscal year primarily because of a $0.7 million increase in advertising, public
relations and other marketing and promotional expenses, a $0.6 million increase in personnel and temporary personnel costs, and a
$0.4 million increase in sales agent and retailer commissions. The increase in expenses was offset by a $0.1 million decrease in legal
expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first
six months of fiscal 2008 increased over the same period in the prior fiscal year primarily because of a $1.2 million increase in
personnel costs to support the growth in our Packet8 service, especially for staffing customer service positions, a $0.4 million increase
in advertising public relations and other marketing and promotional expenses, and a $0.1 million increase in accounting and tax related
expenses. The increase in expenses was offset by a $0.4 million decrease in sales agent and retailer commission. - 23 -
Interest Income, Net In the second fiscal quarter of 2008 and the first six months of fiscal 2008, interest income, net primarily consisted of interest and
investment income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and investment balances. The decrease in interest income for the second
quarter of fiscal 2008 and the first six months of fiscal 2008 over the same periods in fiscal 2007 was primarily due to lower average
cash balances. Income on change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock in fiscal 2005 and 2006, we issued warrants in three
different equity financings. The warrants included a provision that we must deliver freely tradable shares upon exercise of the warrant.
Because there are circumstances that may not be within our control that could prevent delivery of registered shares, EITF 00-19
requires the warrants be recorded as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recorded as a gain or loss. The fair
value of the warrant is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model
including our stock price, expected stock price volatility and contractual term. To the extent that the fair value of the warrant liability
increases or decreases, we record a loss or gain in our statement of operations. The increase in income from the change in fair value of
the warrants for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year is due to a reduction in the
fair value of warrants resulting from a decline in our stock price, expected price volatility and contractual life of the warrants which are
the primary assumptions applied to the Black-Scholes model which we have used to calculate the fair value of the warrants. The decrease in the income from change in fair value of warrants in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period
in fiscal 2007 occurred because the fair value of warrants and warrant liability declined due to a reduction in the expected stock price
volatility and contractual life of the warrants. Furthermore, on August 29, 2007, we and the warrant holders amended the terms of warrants for 3,659,624 shares of common
stock that we had classified as liabilities. Consequently, the amended warrants were reclassified from liability to equity. A total of $0.4
million of the income from the change in fair value of the warrants in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was related to the amended
warrants and $0.9 million was reclassified from liability to equity. The remaining investor warrants for 1,785,714 shares of common
stock issued on December 19, 2005 have not been amended and will continue to be accounted for as liabilities. - 24 -
Provision for Income Taxes There were no income tax provisions recorded during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, due to year to date net losses incurred. No income tax provisions have been recorded for any period presented, and we believe
that, based on the history of our operating losses and other factors, the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than
not that we will not be able to realize the benefit of our net operating losses. Accordingly, a full valuation reserve has been recorded
against our net deferred tax assets. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operations of $1.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to cash used of $7.6 million in the same
period of fiscal 2007, an improvement of $8.6 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a
reduction in the net loss of $2.1 million adjusted for an increase in non-cash items including the change in the fair value of warrants of
$2.6 million and the stock-based compensation of $0.5 million. Accounts receivable represented a $0.1 million source of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to a use of cash of
$0.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2007. The increase in cash of $0.4 million in 2008 from 2007 levels was primarily due to
collections from our large retail customers. The increase in the source of cash of $2.6 million in 2008 from 2007 levels was primarily due to lower inventory levels of customer
premise equipment (CPE). Inventories represented a source of cash of $0.7 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2008 compared to a
use of cash of $1.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2007. Deferred cost of goods sold represented a $0.7 million source of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to a source of
cash of $0.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2007. The increase in cash of $0.3 million provided by deferred cost of goods sold was
primarily due to a reduction in deferred cost of goods sold related to retailers. Accounts payable represented a use of cash of $0.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to a source of cash of
$1.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2007. The increase in cash used by accounts payable of $1.6 million was primarily due to a
reduction in payables related to inventory and property and equipment. Deferred revenue represented a source of cash of $2.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to a use of $0.5 in the
same period of fiscal 2007. The increase in the source of cash of $2.6 million in 2008 from levels during the same period of fiscal 2007
was primarily due deferral of new annual plan subscriptions entered into during the first six months of fiscal 2008. The increase in
deferred revenue was offset by a decrease in deferred revenue related to retailers. Other current and non-current liabilities represented a source of cash of $0.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared
to a source of cash of $0.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2007. The decrease in the source of cash of $0.4 million in the first six
months of fiscal 2008 from the levels in the same period of 2007 was primarily due to an increase in accrued sales and use tax offset by
a reduction in accrued inventory, accrued royalty, outstanding debt related to capital leases, and deferred rent. Cash used in investing activities of $2.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to purchases of
investments of $3.3 million and $0.3 million of purchases of fixed assets. The purchases of fixed assets were primarily attributable to
equipment required by the growth of the Packet8 Virtual Office subscriber base. The decrease in cash due to investing activities was
offset by the maturity of $1.1 million of investments. - 25 -
Contractual Obligations Future operating lease payments, net of sublease income, capital lease payments and purchase obligations at September 30,
2007 were as follows (in thousands): In April 2005, June 2006 and March 2007, we entered into a series of noncancelable capital lease agreements for office equipment
bearing interest at various rates. Assets under capital lease at September 30, 2007 totaled $182,000 with accumulated amortization of
$46,000. We lease our primary
facility in Santa Clara, California under a non-cancelable operating lease that expires in fiscal 2010. We also have leased facilities in
France and Canada. Our facility leases include rent escalation clauses and require us to pay taxes, insurance and normal maintenance
costs. Rent expense is reflected in our consolidated financial statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. We entered into a 24 month contract with one of our third party network service providers containing a minimum monthly
commitment of $400,000 effective June 1, 2006. At September 30, 2007, the total remaining obligation under the contract was
$3,200,000. We also entered into an additional agreement with this provider to purchase a minimum of $1,000,000 in international
usage between March 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2007, we had completed its
obligation to purchase a minimum of $1.0 million in international usage. At September 30, 2007, we had open purchase orders of approximately $2.6 million, primarily related to
inventory purchases from our contract manufacturers. These purchase commitments are reflected in our consolidated
financial statements once goods or services have been received or when we become obligated to make payments for
them. As of September 30, 2007, we did not have any material changes
to our contractual obligations that were disclosed in the Liquidity section of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 due
to the adoption of Fin 48. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30, 2007 as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4). At September 30, 2007, we had a $0.8 million liability related to two warrants issued to two investors in one equity
financing transaction in the fiscal year 2006. We account for the warrants as liabilities, because the possibility, however likely or
unlikely, that we would be unable to deliver registered shares upon a future exercise of these warrants. The required accounting for a
warrant with an assumed "net cash settlement" provision under EITF 00-19 is to estimate the fair value on the date of issuance and to
record a liability equal to that value with subsequent changes in the fair value recorded as income or expense at the end of each
reporting period under EITF 00-19 . The amount we record as a liability under EITF 00-19 is not, nor do we intend for it to be an
admission or stipulation of the amount that we would owe or be obligated to pay the warrant holder in the event that we are unable to
deliver registered shares to the warrant holder. In fact, we have made no determination of the amount of liability, if any, that we would
owe to the warrant holder in the event of such a breach. Based upon our current expectations, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments, together with cash expected to be generated from future operations, will be sufficient to satisfy our expected working
capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. - 26 -
Although we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents will satisfy our expected working capital and capital expenditure
requirements through at least the next 12 months, our business may change in ways we do not currently anticipate, which could require
us to raise additional funds to support our operations earlier than otherwise expected. Unless we achieve and maintain profitability, we
will need to raise additional capital to support our business. We may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed on acceptable
terms, or at all, which may require us to reduce our operating costs and other expenditures by making reductions in personnel and
capital expenditures. Alternatively, or in addition to such potential measures, we may elect to implement other cost reduction actions as
we may determine are necessary and in our best interests. Any such actions undertaken might limit our opportunities to realize plans
for revenue growth, and we might not be able to reduce our costs in amounts sufficient to achieve break-even or profitable operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Foreign Currency Our financial market risk consists primarily of risks associated with international operations and related foreign currencies. We
derive a portion of our revenues from customers in Europe and Asia. In order to reduce the risk from fluctuation in foreign exchange
rates, the vast majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, almost all of our arrangements with our contract
manufacturers are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have a foreign subsidiary in France and are exposed to market risk from changes in
exchange rates. We have not entered into any currency hedging activities. To date, our exposure to exchange rate volatility has not
been significant; however, there can be no assurance that there will not be a material impact in the future. Investments We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types and maturities. These marketable securities are generally
classified as available for sale and, consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses
reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Part of this portfolio includes investments in auction rate
securities and corporate bonds. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company maintains
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
("Disclosure Controls") that are designed to ensure that information the Company is required to disclose in reports filed or submitted
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive
and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision of our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls. Based on this evaluation
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of
September 30, 2007. Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls The Company's
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's Disclosure Controls
or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. - 27 -
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, there were no material changes in our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION Descriptions of our legal proceedings are contained in Part I, Item 1, Financial
Statements - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - "Note 7". We face many significant risks in our business, some of which are unknown to us and not
presently foreseen. These risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations in
the future. We have disclosed a number of material risks under Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
March 31, 2007, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2007. The following discussion
is of material changes to risk factors disclosed in that report. We have a history of
losses and are uncertain as to our future profitability. We recorded an operating loss of $2.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007, and we ended the period with an
accumulated deficit of $202 million. We recorded an operating loss of $14.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2007 and ended the
period with an accumulated deficit of $200 million. In addition, we recorded operating losses of $25 million and $20 million for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We may continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future, and
such losses may be substantial. We will need to increase revenues in order to generate sustainable operating profit. Given our history
of fluctuating revenues and operating losses, we cannot be certain that we will be able to achieve profitability on either a quarterly or
annual basis in the future. We may not be able to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market, which has certain compliance requirements for continued listing of
common stock. We have in the past been subject to delisting procedures due to a drop in the price of our common stock. If our
minimum closing bid price per share falls below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days in the future, we may again be subject
to delisting procedures. As of the close of business on November 1, 2007, our common stock had a closing bid price of approximately
$1.46 per share. We must also meet additional continued listing requirements contained in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(b),
which requires that we have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities held by
non-affiliates or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year (or two of the three most
recently completed fiscal years). As of November 1, 2007, based on our closing price as of that day, the market value of our securities
held by non-affiliates approximated $89,397,000 and we were in compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(b). There can
be no assurance that we will continue to meet the continued listing requirements. Delisting could reduce the ability of our shareholders to purchase or sell shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done
historically. For instance, failure to obtain listing on another market or exchange may make it more difficult for traders to sell our
securities. Broker-dealers may be less willing or able to sell or make a market in our common stock. Not maintaining our NASDAQ

We may be subject to liabilities for past sales and additional taxes, surcharges and fees. Excluding California sales and use tax, sales and use tax in one state
other than California, federal Universal Service Fund or USF and E911 state and local fees, we do not collect state and federal
telecommunications taxes or other telecommunications surcharges with respect to our Packet8 service in accordance with current
industry practice. Based upon a new ruling published by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, we ceased collecting Federal Excise
Tax, or FET, on June 1, 2006. We do not collect Value Added Tax, or VAT, for services that we provide to customers in European
Union, or EU, member countries. Future expansion of our Packet8 service, along with other aspects of our evolving business, may
result in additional sales and other tax obligations. One or more states or foreign countries may seek to impose sales or other tax
collection obligations on out-of-jurisdiction companies that provide telephone service. A successful assertion by one or more states or
foreign countries that we should collect sales or other taxes on the sale of merchandise or services could result in substantial tax
liabilities for past sales, decrease our ability to compete with traditional telephone companies, and could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition or operating results. We have received inquiries or demands from numerous states and municipal taxing and 911 agencies seeking payment of taxes
that are applied to or collected from the customers of providers of traditional public switched telephone network services. We have
consistently maintained that these taxes do not apply to our service for a variety of reasons depending on the statute or rule that
establishes such obligations. In September 2006, our largest third party network service provider vendor began passing through E911
taxes to us. On October 1, 2006, we began collecting certain state and local E911 charges from our customers for these amounts. The
amounts collected from our customers are paid to the third party network service provider. We have not collected or accrued liabilities
for E911 taxes prior to October 1, 2006, and it is possible that substantial claims for back taxes may be asserted against us, which
could adversely affect our business financial condition or operating results. One or more states or foreign countries may seek to impose sales, use or other tax collection obligations on us. We have received
inquiries or demands from numerous state authorities and are currently under audit by one state. A successful assertion by one or
more states or foreign countries that we should collect sales, use or other taxes on the sale of customer premise equipment or services
could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, decrease our ability to compete with traditional telephone companies, and could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. On October 1, 2007, we began collecting sales
and use tax in one state other than California. We have recorded an expense of $488,000 and $416,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as our best estimate of the probable tax exposure for such assessments.

There may be risks associated with our ability to comply with requirements of the Telecommunications Relay Service.
On June 15, 2007, the FCC extended the disability access requirements of Sections 225 and 255 of the Communications Act, which applied to traditional phone services, to providers of interconnected VoIP services and to manufacturers of specially designed equipment used to provide those services. In addition, the FCC determined that interconnected VoIP providers were subject to the requirements of Section 225, including contributing to the Telecommunications Relay Services, or TRS, fund and that they must offer 711 abbreviated dialing for access to relay services. While the rules became effective October 5, 2007, the FCC granted a limited waiver to interconnected VoIP providers concerning the 711 call routing requirement for a period of six months. Interconnected VoIP providers do not have to route such calls to the "appropriate relay center," meaning the relay center(s) serving the state in which the caller is geographically located or the relay center(s) associated with the caller's last registered address until the waiver period expires. We are working on implementing a call routing solution that complies with these rules but cannot predict whether we will be in compliance at the end of the waiver period. We may be subject to enforcement actions including, but not limited to, fines, cease and desist orders, or other penalties if we are not able to comply with these new disability requirements.
