NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization - We are a provider of software solutions and services to the wireless, wireline and IP carrier markets. We maintain long-standing relationships with many of the largest wireline, wireless and cable companies worldwide. Our customers rely on us to develop, deploy, enhance, maintain and integrate complex, highly reliable software solutions for a range of Operations Support Systems (“OSS”).  We offer software products and solutions in four core areas:  service activation solutions used to activate complex bundles of voice, video and data services for traditional and next generation wireless and wireline networks;  numbering solutions that enable carriers to comply with government-mandated requirements regarding number portability as well as providing phone number management and assignment capabilities; SIM card activation solutions used to dynamically allocate and assign resources to a wireless device when it is first used, and mediation solutions supporting data collection for both service assurance and billing applications.

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements, and in our opinion, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that we will have for any subsequent period.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We made estimates with respect to revenue recognition for estimated hours to complete projects accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, allowance for doubtful accounts, income tax valuation allowance, fair values of long-lived assets, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives for property, equipment and intangible assets, business combinations, capitalization of internal software development costs and fair value of stock-based compensation amounts.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Earnings Per Share - On July 1, 2009, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a one-for-two reverse split of our common stock, as previously authorized and approved by our stockholders at the June 9, 2009 annual meeting, which took effect at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on July 20, 2009 (the “Effective Time”). Our common stock began trading on a post-split basis on July 21, 2009. As a result of the reverse stock split, every two shares of our common stock was combined into one share of common stock. The reverse stock split affects all of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the reverse stock split as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under our equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options. Our common stock outstanding at June 30, 2009 was approximately19.6 million shares. Adjusting for the reverse stock split, the common stock outstanding at June 30, 2009 was reduced to approximately 9.8 million shares. The number of authorized shares of common stock remained at 40.0 million. The reverse split did not affect the par value of our common stock and will remain at $0.001. As a result of the reverse stock split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our common stock was reduced in proportion to the size of the reverse stock split. Common stock and additional paid-in capital balances, all share amounts, stock option amounts and per share/option prices appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

 

Foreign Currency Translation - Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  The functional currency of our foreign operations is the respective local currency for each foreign subsidiary.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations denominated in local currencies are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date.  Our consolidated statements of operations are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange during the applicable period.  The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.  Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses generated by transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the applicable entity are recorded in other income (loss) in the period in which they occur.

 

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Evolving Systems and subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

 

Goodwill - Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. For purposes of the goodwill evaluation, we compare the fair value of each of our reporting units to its respective carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit were to exceed its fair value, we would then compare the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value would be charged to operations as an impairment loss.

 

Intangible Assets - Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of purchased software and licenses, customer contracts and relationships, trademarks and tradenames, and business partnerships acquired in conjunction with our purchases of CMS Communications, Inc. (“CMS”), Telecom Software Enterprises, LLC (“TSE”) and Tertio Telecoms Ltd. (“Evolving Systems U.K.”).  These definite life assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives.

 

We assess the impairment of identifiable intangibles if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider significant which could trigger an impairment analysis include the following:

 

·                  Significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results;

 

·                  Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy of the overall business;

 

·                  Significant negative industry or economic trends; and/or

 

·                  Significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period.

 

If, as a result of the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we determine that the carrying value of intangibles and/or long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we compare the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition to the asset’s carrying amount. If an amortizable intangible or long-lived asset is not deemed to be recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss representing the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts for certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, contract receivables and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.  We estimate the fair value of our debt based on current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities, if available, or if not available, based on discounted future cash flows using current market interest rates.  As of June 30, 2009, we estimated the fair value of our fixed rate senior term loan and subordinated notes was $1.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, we estimated the fair value of our fixed rate senior term loan and subordinated notes was $2.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue from two primary sources: license fees and services, and customer support, in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended and interpreted by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.”  Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” provides further interpretive guidance for public companies on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.  In addition to the criteria described below, we generally recognize revenue when an agreement is signed, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The majority of our license fees and services revenue is generated from fixed-price contracts, which provide for licenses to our software products and services to customize such software to meet our customers’ use.   When the services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, in accordance with SOP 97-2 and SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Long-Term Construction Type Contracts.”  We estimate the percentage-of-completion for each contract based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours.  Since estimated direct labor hours, and changes thereto, can have a significant impact on revenue recognition, these estimates are critical and we review them regularly.  We record amounts billed in advance of services being performed as unearned revenue. Unbilled work-in-progress represents revenue earned but not yet billable under the terms of the fixed-price contracts. All such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within 12 months.

 

We may encounter budget and schedule overruns on fixed price contracts caused by increased labor or overhead costs. We make adjustments to cost estimates in the periods in which the facts requiring such revisions become known. We record estimated losses, if any, in the period in which current estimates of total contract revenue and contract costs indicate a loss. If revisions to cost estimates are obtained after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of the interim or annual financial statements, we make adjustments to the interim or annual financial statements accordingly.

 

In arrangements where the services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered software, we recognize license revenue when a license agreement has been signed, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Where applicable, we unbundle and record as revenue fees from multiple element arrangements as the elements are delivered to the extent

 

8

Table of Contents

 

that vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of the undelivered elements exist. If VSOE for the undelivered elements does not exist, we defer fees from such arrangements until the earlier of the date that VSOE does exist on the undelivered elements or all of the elements have been delivered.

 

We recognize revenue from fixed-price service contracts using the proportional performance method of accounting, which is similar to the percentage of completion method described above. We recognize revenue from professional services provided pursuant to time-and-materials based contracts and training services as the services are performed, as that is when our obligation to our customers under such arrangements is fulfilled.

 

We recognize customer support, including maintenance revenue, ratably over the service contract period. When maintenance is bundled with the original license fee arrangement, its fair value, based upon VSOE, is deferred and recognized during the periods when services are provided.

 

Stock-based Compensation - We account for stock-based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(Revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”).  This statement replaced SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  Under SFAS 123R, we apply a fair-value-based measurement method to account for share-based payment transactions with employees and directors and record compensation cost for all stock awards granted after January 1, 2006 and awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. We record compensation costs associated with the vesting of unvested options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period using the guidance under SFAS 123R.  Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense because we settle these obligations by issuing shares of our common stock instead of settling such obligations with cash payments.   Effective January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock option grants and employee stock purchase plan purchases under SFAS 123R.  We used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant.  This model requires the use of estimates for expected term of the options and expected volatility of the price of our common stock.

 

Income Taxes - We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.  We evaluate tax benefits recorded in our consolidated financial statements and record accruals for any amounts deemed not probable of being sustained.

 

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  There was no material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result of the adoption of the provisions of FIN 48.

 

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  We do not believe there will be any material changes to our unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.”  This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.  We adopted the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009. There was no impact on earnings per share upon adoption. See Note 3 for additional information.

 

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require, on an interim basis, disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for public entities. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this FSP only if it concurrently adopts both FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” We adopted FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 effective June 30, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 had no impact on the financial statements.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement 165 “Subsequent Events,” to incorporate the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events into GAAP. Statement 165 introduces new terminology, defines a date through which

Table of Contents

 

management must evaluate subsequent events, and lists the circumstances under which an entity must recognize and disclose events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date. We adopted Statement 165 as of June 30, 2009, which was the required effective date.

 

NOTE 2 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

We recorded goodwill as a result of three acquisitions which occurred over the period from November 2003 to November 2004. We acquired CMS in November 2003, TSE in October 2004 and Evolving Systems U.K. in November 2004.

 

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit were as follows (in thousands):

We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test as of July 31, 2008, and we determined that goodwill was not impaired as of the test date. From July 31, 2008 through June 30, 2009, no events have occurred that we believe may have impaired goodwill.

 

We amortized identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over estimated lives ranging from one to seven years and include the cumulative effects of foreign currency exchange rates.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, identifiable intangibles were as follows (in thousands):

(1)  Changes in intangible values as of June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 are the direct result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the periods then ended.

 

Amortization expense of identifiable intangible assets was $0.2 and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and $0.4 and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  As Evolving Systems U.K. uses the British Pound Sterling as its functional currency, the amount of future amortization actually recorded will be based upon exchange rates in effect at that time. Expected future amortization expense related to identifiable intangibles based on our carrying amount as of June 30, 2009 was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

We compute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period (see Note 12), including common stock issuable under participating securities, such as the previously outstanding Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). We compute diluted EPS using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including participating securities, plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options.

 

On January 1, 2009, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.   Upon adoption, both basic and diluted income per share for the first and second quarter of 2009 and full year 2008 remained unchanged.

 

The following is the reconciliation of the denominator of the basic and diluted EPS computations (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
		2009			2008			2009			2008
Basic income per common and preferred share:
Net income available to common and preferred shareholders		$	1,102		$	775		$	2,071		$	531

Diluted income per common and preferred share:
Net income available to common and preferred shareholders		$	1,102		$	775		$	2,071		$	531
Weighted average common shares outstanding		9,777			9,687			9,771			9,560

Diluted income per common and preferred share		$	0.11		$	0.08		$	0.21		$	0.05

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 1.8 million and 1.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 1.9 million and 1.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

 

NOTE 4 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

We adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.  We recognized $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations, with respect to our stock-based compensation plans.  The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expenses recorded in the statement of operations (in thousands):

Stock Option Plan

 

In January 1996, our stockholders approved an Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”).  Under the Option Plan, as amended, and after the reverse stock split (See Note 12), 4,175,000 shares were reserved for issuance.  Options issued under the Option Plan were at the discretion of the Board of Directors, including the vesting provisions of each stock option granted. Options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant. The Option Plan terminated on January 18, 2006; options granted before that date were not affected by the plan termination.  At June 30, 2009 and 2008, 1.8 million and 1.9 million options remained outstanding under the Option Plan, respectively.

 

In March 2007, upon the hiring of our Vice President of World Wide Sales and Marketing, in accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(a)(iv), the Board of Directors approved an inducement award under a stand-alone equity incentive plan.  We granted 50,000 non-qualified options to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.  The options vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, 50,000 options remained outstanding under this plan.

 

In June 2007, our stockholders approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Stock Plan”).  As a result of the reverse stock split on July 21, 2009, a maximum of 1,000,000 shares can be issued under the 2007 Stock Plan. Awards permitted under the 2007 Stock Plan include:  Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.  Awards issued under the 2007 Stock Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  As applicable, awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over four years and expire no more than ten years from the date of grant.  At June 30, 2009 and 2008, 0.5 million and 0.3 million options remained outstanding under the 2007 Stock Plan, respectively.

 

In December 2008, under the 2007 Stock Plan, we awarded a total of 52,500 shares of restricted stock to members of our Board of Directors and senior management. There were no issuances of restricted stock during either of three or six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 11,000 and 7,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 21,000 and 14,000 shares of restricted stock vested, respectively. There were no forfeitures of restricted stock during the either of the three or six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The fair market value for share-based compensation expensing is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The restrictions on the stock award are released generally over four years for senior management and over one year for board members.

 

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.  The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each option grant.  The expected term of share options granted is derived using the simplified method as prescribed by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 (“SAB 107”), “Share-Based Payment”, which we adopted in January 2008. The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock options.  The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock over a period equal to the expected term of the stock options.  The expected dividend yield is zero and is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends.  The weighted-average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2009		2008		2009		2008
Expected term (years)		5.3		*		5.3		6.2
Risk-free interest rate		2.9	%	*		2.4	%	2.7	%
Expected volatility		76.9	%	*		78.0	%	101.9	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%	*		0	%	0	%

 

* - None granted

 

The following is a summary of stock option activity under the plans for the six months ended June 30, 2009:

·                  All stock option amounts have been adjusted for the reverse stock split (see Note 12)

 

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $4.70. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $3.37 and $3.34, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options.  These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

 

The total fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

 

The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $15,000 and $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The deferred income tax benefits from stock option expense related to Evolving Systems U.K. totaled approximately $30,000 and $29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

Cash received from stock option exercises for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,000. There was no cash received from stock options for any of the other periods presented.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), we were previously authorized to issue up to 1,100,000 shares of our common stock to full-time employees, nearly all of whom are eligible to participate. After the reverse stock split (see Note 12), we are now authorized to issue up to 550,000 shares under the ESPP. Under the terms of the ESPP, employees may elect to have up to 15% of their gross compensation withheld through payroll deduction to purchase our common stock, capped at $25,000 annually. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of the market price at the beginning or end of each three-month participation period. As of June 30, 2009, there were approximately 100,000 shares available for purchase.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded compensation expense of $6,000 and $5,000, respectively, and $11,000 for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, associated with grants under the ESPP which includes the fair value of the look-back feature of each grant as well as the 15% discount on the purchase price.  This expense fluctuates each period based upon employee participation.

 

The fair value of each purchase made under our ESPP is estimated on the date of purchase using the Black-Scholes model.  The Black-Scholes model uses four assumptions to calculate the fair value of each purchase.  The expected term of each purchase is based upon the three-month participation period of each offering.  The risk-free interest rate is based upon the rate currently available on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments with a remaining term equal to the expected term of each offering.  The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our common stock.  The expected dividend yield is based upon historical and anticipated payment of dividends.  The weighted average assumptions used in the fair value calculations are as follows:

We issued shares related to the ESPP of 12,000 and 6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We issued shares related to the ESPP of 23,000 and 11,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, two significant customers (defined as contributing at least 10%) accounted for 33% (21% and 12%) of total revenue.  These customers are large telecommunications operators located in the U.S. and Africa, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, one significant customer accounted for 24% of total revenue. This customer is a large telecommunications operator in the U.S. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, two significant customers accounted for 29% (18% and 11%) and 27% (15% and 12%), respectively, of total revenue.  These customers are large telecommunications operators located in the U.S. and U.K., respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2009, one significant customer accounted for approximately 25% of contract receivables.  This customer is a large wireless company located in Africa.  At December 31, 2008, one significant customer accounted for approximately 45% of contract receivables.  This customer is a large telecommunications operator located in the U.S.

 

NOTE 6 – LONG-TERM DEBT

 

Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

 

		June 30,			December 31,
		2009			2008
Senior term loan with financial institution, interest at a fixed rate of 8.25%, principal installments and interest payments are due monthly with final maturity on February 22, 2010. The loan is secured by substantially all of our assets.		$	1,333		$	2,333
Long-term unsecured subordinated notes payable, interest ranges from 11-14% with a weighted average rate of 12.74% and 13.72% at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, accrued interest and principal are due in full May 16, 2011.		2,977			4,550
Total debt		4,310			6,883
Less current portion		(1,333		)	(2,000		)
Long-term debt, excluding current portion		$	2,977		$	4,883

 

On February 22, 2008, we replaced our existing senior term note and senior revolving facility with a new $4.0 million senior term loan, a $1.0 million U.S. revolving credit facility (“U.S. Revolving Facility”) and a $5.0 million U.K. revolving credit facility (“U.K. Revolving Facility”).  On December 18, 2008 we modified our U.S. and U.K. Revolving Facilities. The U.S. Revolving Facility is now a $2.5 million credit facility and the U.K. Revolving Facility is now a $3.5 million facility. All other terms and conditions remained the same. There have been no borrowings on either facility and therefore there are no outstanding balances on either facility as of June 30, 2009.

 

We used proceeds from the $4.0 million senior term loan to pay down our prior senior term note balance of approximately $3.8 million.  The $4.0 million senior term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% and is payable in 24 equal monthly installments of principal, plus all accrued interest, beginning March 10, 2008, with final maturity on February 22, 2010.  The senior term loan is secured by substantially all assets of Evolving Systems, Inc. and subjects us to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants related to maintaining a specified ratio of debt to EBITDA, as defined, minimum EBITDA, minimum liquidity, and a specified fixed charge ratio.

The remaining scheduled principal payments as of June 30, 2009 on our long-term debt are as follows (in thousands):

 

Year ending June 30,
2010		$	1,333
2011		2,977
		$	4,310

 

Our $2.5 million U.S. Revolving Facility bears interest at Prime Rate plus 0.5%.  Prime Rate was 3.25% as of June 30, 2009.  Borrowings under the senior revolving facilities are limited to a percentage of our eligible accounts receivable and cash.  The U.S. Revolving Facility is secured by all assets of Evolving Systems, Inc. and is subject to the same covenants as the senior term loan.  All accrued interest on outstanding borrowings under the U.S. Revolving Facility is paid monthly, with any outstanding balance due with a final maturity of February 22, 2011.  As of June 30, 2009, we had $2.5 million in availability, but no borrowing outstanding under this U.S. Revolving Facility.

 

Our $3.5 million U.K. Revolving Facility bears interest at Prime Rate plus 0.5%.  Prime Rate was 3.25% as of June 30, 2009.  Borrowings under the U.K. Revolving Facility are limited to a percentage of our eligible accounts receivable and cash.  The U.K. Revolving Facility is secured by all assets of Evolving Systems Holdings Ltd. and Evolving Systems Ltd. and is subject to the same covenants as the Senior Term Loan.  All accrued interest on outstanding borrowings under the U.K. Revolving Facility is paid monthly, with any outstanding balance due with a final maturity of February 22, 2011.  As of June 30, 2009, we had $3.5 million in availability, but no borrowing outstanding under this U.K. Revolving Facility.

 

In connection with the replacement of our existing senior term note and senior revolving facility with the new senior term loan and U.S. Revolving Facility and the U.K. Revolving Facility, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded a write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the retired senior debt of approximately $0.3 million.  Additionally, we capitalized debt issuance costs related to our new senior debt of approximately $0.3 million.  These newly capitalized debt issuance costs will be amortized over the term of the new senior debt.

 

On April 20, 2009, we made an optional pre-payment of $1.0 million to the holders of our subordinated notes.  On March 11, 2009, we paid $2.0 million against our subordinated notes, including accrued non-current interest. Both payments were unscheduled and reduced balances that otherwise would have been classified as long-term as of December 31, 2009.

 

On February 22, 2008, we paid $272,000 to retire $279,000 of subordinated debt and related accrued interest held by two of our subordinated note holders.  The retirements included principal of $217,000 and accrued interest of $62,000.  The $7,000 gain on extinguishment of this debt is reflected within our other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.  On February 22, 2008, we also paid $728,000 in accrued interest to the remaining subordinated note holders.

 

The remaining long-term unsecured subordinated notes payable of $3.0 million, at June 30, 2009, accrued interest at 11% through December 31, 2007 and 14% thereafter.  Interest expense was recognized using an effective rate of 12.74% through June 30, 2009 and 13.72% through December 31, 2008.

 

The unsecured subordinated notes are subordinate to the senior note and senior revolving credit facility.  The unsecured subordinated notes payable agreements subject us to certain affirmative and negative covenants; however, certain covenants are not in effect until the senior note and senior revolving credit facility are paid in full.  Outstanding amounts of the unsecured subordinated notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an uncured event of default or if we achieve certain minimum cash thresholds.  Accrued interest on the unsecured subordinated notes payable is separately reflected on the balance sheet under “Other long-term obligations.”

 

We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

 

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES

 

We recorded net income tax expense of $53,000 and $113,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2009 consisted of income tax expense of $38,000 and a deferred tax expense of $15,000. The net expense during the three months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of income tax expense of $175,000 and a deferred tax benefit of $62,000, related to our U.K.-based operations.

 

We recorded net income tax expense of $58,000 and $39,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009 consisted of income tax expense of $94,000 and a deferred tax benefit of $36,000. The net expense during the six months ended June 30, 2008 consisted of income tax expense of $180,000 and a deferred tax benefit of $141,000, related to our U.K.-based operations.

 

In conjunction with the acquisition of Evolving Systems U.K., we recorded certain identifiable intangible assets.  Since the amortization of these identifiable intangibles is not deductible for income tax purposes, we established a long-term deferred tax liability of $4.6 million at the acquisition date for the expected difference between what would be expensed for financial reporting purposes and what would be deductible for income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, this component of the deferred tax liability was $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  This deferred tax liability relates to Evolving Systems U.K., and has no impact on our ability to recover U.S.-based deferred tax assets.  This deferred tax liability will be recognized as a reduction of deferred income tax expense as the identifiable intangibles are amortized.

 

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 we continued to maintain a full valuation allowance on the domestic net deferred tax asset as we have determined it is more likely than not that we will not realize our domestic deferred tax assets.  Such assets primarily consist of certain net operating loss carryforwards.  We assessed the realizability of our domestic deferred tax assets using all available evidence.  In particular, we considered both historical results and projections of profitability for the reasonably foreseeable future periods.  We are required to reassess our conclusions regarding the realization of our deferred tax assets at each financial reporting date. A future evaluation could result in a conclusion that all or a portion of the valuation allowance is no longer necessary which could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

 

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  There was not a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result of the adoption of the provisions of FIN 48.

 

On January 1, 2007, we recorded a FIN 48 transition adjustment consisting of a $0.4 million decrease in our deferred tax assets related to Research and Development Tax Credits that was offset by a corresponding decrease in our valuation allowance because we determined that it was not more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized.  As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  We do not believe there will be any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next twelve months.

 

We conduct business globally and, as a result, Evolving Systems, Inc. or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, namely the United Kingdom, Germany and India.  With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2005.

On February 25, 2008, holders of 461,758 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a carrying value of $5.4 million, or approximately 96% of the outstanding preferred stock, converted their shares of preferred stock into 692,637 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock.  On March 19, 2008, a holder of 16,992 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a carrying value of $0.2 million, which represented the remainder of the outstanding preferred stock, converted his shares of preferred stock into 25,488 shares of our common stock in accordance with the conversion provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock.  As we previously included the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as a participating security for basic EPS purposes, these conversions did not change our basic or diluted EPS calculations.

 

On March 4, 2009 our Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan that is designed to strengthen the ability of the Board of Directors to protect Evolving Systems’ stockholders.  The plan was not adopted in response to any unsolicited offer or takeover attempt. Under the plan, each common stockholder of the Company at the close of business on March 16, 2009 received a dividend of one right for each share of the Company’s common stock held of record on that date.  Each right will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company, in certain circumstances, two one-hundredths of a share of newly-created Series C junior participating preferred stock of the Company for an initial purchase price of $8.00 per share. The rights distribution will not be taxable to stockholders and the distribution of rights under the plan will not interfere with the Company’s business plans or be dilutive to or affect the Company’s reported per share results.

operating decision-making group to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We have identified our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as our chief operating decision-makers (CODM). These chief operating decision makers review revenues by segment and review overall results of operations.

 

We currently operate our business as two operating segments based on revenue type:  license fees and services revenue and customer support revenue (as shown on the consolidated statements of operations).  License fees and services (L&S) revenue represents the fees received from the license of software products and those services directly related to the delivery of the licensed products, such as fees for custom development and integration services.  Customer support (CS) revenue includes annual support fees, recurring maintenance fees, fees for maintenance upgrades and warranty services.  Warranty services that are similar to software maintenance services are typically bundled with a license sale. Total assets by segment have not been disclosed as the information is not available to the chief operating decision-making group.
