NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
Bitstream Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, Bitstream or the Company) is a software development company focused on bringing unique software products to a wide variety of markets. Today, our core software products include award-winning fonts and font rendering technologies, mobile browsing and messaging technologies and variable data publishing and Web-to-print technologies.
We are subject to risks common to technology-based companies, including dependence on key personnel, rapid technological change, competition from alternative product offerings and larger companies, and challenges to the development and marketing of commercial products and services. We have also experienced net losses in prior years and as of June 30, 2008, have an accumulated deficit of $18 million.
(a) Use of Estimates
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes. The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain estimates by us in determining our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(b) Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein, without audit, have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The balance sheet information at December 31, 2007 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 28, 2008. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the notes to each are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for these interim periods.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $76 and $63, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $151 and $117, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we disposed of $21 of fully depreciated assets which were no longer in service.
(d) Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. We place a majority of our cash investments in one highly-rated financial institution, the balance of which may exceed federally insured deposit limits. We have not experienced significant losses related to receivables from any individual customers or groups of customers in any specific industry or by geographic area. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by us to be inherent in our accounts receivable. At June 30, 2008, one customer accounted for 20% of our accounts receivable. We do not have any off-balance sheet risks as of June 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 16% and 14% of our accounts receivable, respectively. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 or 2007.

(e) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (in thousands)
We follow the accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets as required by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are required to be reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if impairment indicators arise. We have determined that we do not have separate reporting units and thus goodwill is combined and tested for impairment based upon an enterprise wide valuation. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. The components of the Companys amortized intangible assets follow:

(f) Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Our comprehensive income is equal to our net income for all periods presented.
(g) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities. As participating securities, these instruments should be included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective in 2009. We do not expect a material effect from adoption of this rule.

BITSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
In May 2008, the FASB released SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 establishes the GAAP hierarchy and identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing or extending assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB No. 142. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP No. 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R does the following: requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose certain information to enable users to understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The statement requires that cash outflows such as transaction costs and post-acquisition restructuring be charged to expense instead of capitalized as a cost of the acquisition. Contingent purchase price will be recorded at its initial fair value and then re-measured as time passes through adjustments to net income. SFAS No. 141R is effective in 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure eligible items at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Eligible items include, but are not limited to, accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and firm commitments. If elected, SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Currently, we have not expanded our eligible items subject to the fair value option under SFAS No.159.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods of those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released a FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

BITSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(i) Fair Value Measurements
SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions. This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, including our marketable securities. Our cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include money market securities.
(2) Income Per Share (in thousands) :
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the effect of the conversion of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants, based on the treasury stock method. In computing diluted earnings per share, common stock equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, |
Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2008 | 2007 | 2008 | 2007 | |||||
Basic weighted average shares outstanding |

Shares used to compute diluted net income per share |
10,304 | 11,015 | 10,543 | 10,999 | ||||
In addition, there were warrants and options outstanding to purchase 652 and 602 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and there were warrants and options outstanding to purchase 201 shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, that were not included in the potential common share computations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock during the applicable period.

(3) Equity-Based Compensation Expense (in thousands )
We currently estimate the fair value of share-based awards using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of share-based awards include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of our stock over the options expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the options expected term, and our expected annual dividend yield. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, use an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model. We are required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. We believe that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of our stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards. These amounts, and the amounts applicable to future quarters, are also subject to future quarterly adjustments based upon a variety of factors, which include but are not limited to, the issuance of new share-based awards.
The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions we utilized for grants of share-based awards in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:
Three Months Ended June 30, |
Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
2008 | 2007 | 2008 | 2007 | |||||

3.3% | 4.6% | 2.8%-3.3% | 4.6% | ||||

None | None | None | None | ||||

Expected volatility |
84.1% | 89.2% | 84.1% - 84.7% | 89.2% |
All share-based awards granted have a contractual ten year term. All options granted vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, and fourth year anniversary over a four year period of continuous employee service. All restricted shares granted vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth year anniversary over a five year period of continuous employee service. The risk free interest rate utilized is based upon published U.S. Treasury yield curves at the date of the grant for the expected option term. Expected stock price volatility is based upon the historical volatility of our common stock price over the expected term of the option. We use historical exercise, forfeiture, and cancellation information to determine expected term and forfeiture rates.
Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 include $188 and $96, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 include $343 and $217, respectively, of share-based compensation within the applicable expense classification where we report the share-based award holders compensation expense.

(4) Commitments and Contingencies, (in thousands):
Lease commitments
We conduct our operations in leased facilities. In August 2003, we entered into a six-year lease agreement and moved our corporate offices. Our current lease agreement commenced on September 1, 2003 and obligated us to make minimum lease payments plus our pro-rata share of future real estate tax increases and certain operating expense increases above the base year. This lease agreement also required us to obtain a Letter of Credit in the amount of $250, which resulted in $250 in cash being classified as restricted on our Balance Sheet. The amount was reduced to $200 on the second anniversary of the lease and further to $150 on the fourth anniversary of the lease.
In July 2008, Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a 33 month lease agreement in Nodia India. This lease agreement commenced May 1, 2008 and obligated us to make monthly payments including service taxes. The total commitment over the 33 month lease is approximately $148.
Royalties
We have certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is primarily based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense is recorded under our cost of software license revenue on our consolidated Statement of Operations.
Indemnification
We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.

Legal Actions
From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. We make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This provision is reviewed at least quarterly. As of June 30, 2008, no liability was recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the occurrence or resolution of any such contingencies or the costs involved in seeking the resolution of any such contingencies.
(5) Income Taxes (in thousands):
The Companys income tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are primarily attributable to federal and state income taxes in the U.S. and taxes related to foreign jurisdictions. Federal and state tax provisions for those periods included amounts in relation to the Companys income generated in the U.S., reduced by previously unbenefited net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards and tax credits that were recorded on the balance sheet with a full valuation allowance.
As of June 30, 2008, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the Companys net deferred tax assets in the U.S. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had gross U.S. federal NOL carry forwards of $14,600, state NOL carry forwards of $2,300, U.S. federal research and development credit (R&D Credit) carry forwards of $900, state R&D credit carry forwards of $300 and foreign tax credits of $200.
The Company concluded that as of June 30, 2008 it was more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets in the U.S. would not be realized. While the Company has realized operating profits over the past three years and in the first six months of 2008, those profits of the prior years have been marginal in relation to the size of the Companys total deferred tax assets. Management judgment is required to determine when the realization of the Companys deferred tax assets in the future is considered more likely than not. If and when the Company concludes that realization is more likely than not, it will record a reduction to its valuation allowance that will result in increases to net income and additional paid-in capital in the period such determination is made.
We continued to provide a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2008, as we believe it is more likely than not that the future tax benefits from accumulated net operating losses and deferred taxes will not be realized. We continue to assess the need for the valuation allowance at each balance sheet date based on all available evidence. However, it is possible that the more likely than not criterion could be met in fiscal 2008 or a future period, which could result in the reversal of a significant portion or all of the valuation allowance, which, at that time, would be recorded as a tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations.

License revenue from direct sales, which includes e-commerce sales, decreased $16, or 0.5%, to $3,339 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $3,355 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and increased $175, or 2.7%, to $6,681 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $6,506 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. License revenue from resellers decreased $23, or 4.3%, to $520 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $543 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and decreased $11, or 1.4%, to $788 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $799 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. License revenue from OEMs and ISVs increased $238, or 21.2%, to $1,356 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,118 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and increased $688, or 31.5%, to $2,873 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2,185 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. License revenue varies between quarters due to the timing of license agreements. While sales through resellers decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period for 2007, direct license revenue increased due to increases in the volume and variety of fonts and publishing products licensed during the first six months of 2008. The increase in OEM and ISV revenue was due to an increase in new licenses, as well as an increase in license renewals and royalties received under existing license agreements resulting from increases in reported unit shipments by certain OEM customers. We believe that new customer acquisition, current customers adding licenses for existing and new products and additional unit shipments by OEM customers will result in increased revenue for the remainder of 2008 as compared to 2007.
15
The increase in revenue from services was due to increases across all of our product lines. These increases were primarily driven by increases in our customer base and customer demand for consulting and design services, resulting in an increase in services revenue from customers acquired both directly and through resellers of $280, or 31%, to $1,194 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $914 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and an increase of $513 or 28% to $2,325 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,812 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. We believe that our overall services revenue during 2008 will continue to exceed the level attained during 2007.
We recognize license revenue from direct sales and licensing our products and products from third parties including e-commerce sales made via our websites, from licensing agreements with OEMs and ISVs, and from the resale of our products through various resellers. We recognize reseller revenue if collection is probable, upon notification from the reseller that it has sold the product or, if for a physical product, upon delivery of the software. E-commerce sales include revenue from the licensing of Bitstream fonts and font technology, licensing of the ThunderHawk browser, licensing of fonts and font technology developed by third parties and from fees received from referring customers to other sites for which we have referral agreements. Referral income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $17 and $8, respectively. Referral income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $23 and $16, respectively. There are minimal costs associated with referral revenue, and such costs primarily represent the time to load copies of the fonts provided by each participating foundry to the MyFonts.com database. We expense those costs as incurred.
The increase in cost of license revenue was due to an increase in direct costs, including royalty costs, associated with increased sales of third party products for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, of $133 and $423, respectively. We expect the cost of license revenue as a percentage of revenue for 2008 will approximate that of the first six months of 2008, though the results may vary based upon the mix of products sold during the year.
The increase in cost of services revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2007 was due to an increase in customer consulting resources and support personnel $155 and $310 partially offset by an increase in the utilization of customer support and consulting personnel on internal research and development projects of $26 and $98 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Total cost of services decreased slightly as a percentage of services revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. We expect our cost of services to increase as a percentage of sales during 2008 as we continue to invest in our infrastructure.
Cost of revenue includes royalties and fees paid to third parties for the development of, or license of rights to, technology and/or unique typeface designs, costs incurred in the fulfillment of custom orders, costs incurred in providing customer support, maintenance, and training, and costs associated with the duplication, packaging and shipping of product.

Marketing and selling (M&S) expense consists primarily of salaries and benefits, commissions, travel expense and facilities costs related to sales and marketing personnel, as well as marketing program-related costs including trade shows and advertising. The increase in M&S expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of a $137 increase in salaries & benefits, a $41 increase in professional services, and a $132 increase in advertising and marketing activities including tradeshow participation; partially offset by a decrease in travel expense. The increase in M&S expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of a $137 increase in salaries & benefits, a $138 increase in professional services, and a $171 increase in advertising and marketing activities including tradeshow participation; partially offset by a decrease in travel expense. We expect that M&S expense will continue to increase during 2008 as we continue to add sales personnel and increase marketing activities to support a growing revenue and customer base.
Research and development (R&D) expense consists primarily of salary and benefit costs, contracted third-party development costs, and facility costs related to software developers and management. The increase in R&D expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of increases in salaries and wages and the use of third party contractors of $99 and an increase in the utilization of customer support and consulting personnel on internal R&D projects of $25. The increase in R&D expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of increases in salaries and wages and the use of third party contractors of $266 and an increase in the utilization of customer support and consulting personnel on internal R&D projects of $98. We expect our development efforts to continue at a similar level during the remainder of 2008 and we expect our R&D expense to increase in absolute dollars but not as a percentage of revenue.
General and administrative (G&A) expense consists primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs including travel and facility expenses for finance, human resource, legal and executive personnel, legal and accounting professional services, provision for bad debts and director and officer insurance. The increase in G&A for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $42, including expenses related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) of $23, and an increase in bad debt expense of $53, comprised of a $24 expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and a reversal of bad debt reserves of $29 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in G&A for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and benefits of $30, an increase in professional fees of $92, including expenses related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley) of $42, and legal expenses of $31. We expect G&A expense to continue to increase during the remainder of 2008 as we continue to improve the G&A infrastructure and incur additional professional services costs for expenses related to Sarbanes-Oxley.
17
Other Income, Net:
Other income includes interest income earned on cash and money market instruments net of interest expense. Net interest income has decreased as compared to the same periods in the prior year due to a lower rate of interest earned on our cash and money market instruments.
Provision for Income Taxes:
Our tax provision for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 consisted of $13 and $36 of foreign withholding taxes and $0 and $13 of state income taxes respectively. The tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of $(1) and $10 of foreign withholding taxes respectively. The Company did not have a provision for U.S. Federal tax during these periods due to Net Operating Loss and Tax Credit carry forwards. Foreign taxes vary with OEM license royalties from customers in countries who are party to tax conventions with the United States, including Korea and Poland.
The Companys income tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are primarily attributable to federal and state income taxes in the U.S. and taxes related to foreign jurisdictions. Federal and state tax provisions for those periods included amounts in relation to the Companys income generated in the U.S., reduced by previously unbenefited net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards and tax credits that were recorded on the balance sheet with a full valuation allowance.
As of June 30, 2008, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the Companys net deferred tax assets in the U.S. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had gross U.S. federal NOL carry forwards of $14,600, state NOL carry forwards of $2,300, U.S. federal research and development credit (R&D Credit) carry forwards of $900, state R&D credit carry forwards of $300 and foreign tax credits of $200.
The Company concluded that as of June 30, 2008 it was more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets in the U.S. would not be realized. While the Company has realized operating profits over the past three years and in the first six months of 2008, those profits of the prior years have been marginal in relation to the size of the Companys total deferred tax assets. Management judgment is required to determine when the realization of the Companys deferred tax assets in the future is considered more likely than not. If and when the Company concludes that realization is more likely than not, it will record a reduction to its valuation allowance that will result in increases to net income and additional paid-in capital in the period such determination is made.
We continued to provide a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2008, as we believe it is more likely than not that the future tax benefits from accumulated net operating losses and deferred taxes will not be realized. We continue to assess the need for the valuation allowance at each balance sheet date based on all available evidence. However, it is possible that the more likely than not criterion could be met in fiscal 2008 or a future period, which could result in the reversal of a significant portion or all of the valuation allowance, which, at that time, would be recorded as a tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
The Company has funded its operations primarily through the public sale of equity securities, cash flows from operations, cash received from the sale of our MediaBank and InterSep OPI product lines to Inso Providence Corporation in August of 1998, and cash received from the sale of our investment in DiamondSoft to Extensis in July of 2003. As of June 30, 2008, we had net working capital of $12,767 versus $14,514 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,747 or 12%. Working capital decreased due to our two stock buyback plans pursuant to which we acquired 697,700 shares of our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for a total cost of approximately $4,119.
18
Our operating activities generated cash during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 of $1,221 and $1,526, respectively, primarily due to our net income before adjustment for non-cash expenses of $1,472 and $1,941, respectively. Our operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 generated $305 less cash than for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the decrease in net income. We used cash of $141 and $247 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for the purpose of acquiring additional property and equipment and intangible assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we used cash of $4,119 to repurchase shares of our common stock during the quarter, partially offset by $558 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 provided cash of $1,656 from the exercise of stock options.
We believe our current cash and cash equivalent balances will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not require additional financing in the future. If we were required to obtain additional financing in the future, there can be no assurance that sources of capital would be available on terms favorable to us, if at all.
As of June 30, 2008, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures. In July 2008, Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a 33 month lease agreement in Nodia India. This lease agreement commenced May 1, 2008 and obligated us to make monthly payments including service taxes. The total commitment over the 33 month lease is approximately $148. We anticipate that we will have approximately $100 in additional start up and build out related expenses, which we expect to incur primarily in the third quarter of 2008.
From time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions of products, businesses and technologies that may complement or expand our business. Any such transactions consummated may use a portion of our working capital or require the issuance of equity or debt securities.
We have certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is primarily based on a dollar amount per unit shipped or a percentage of the underlying revenue. Royalty expense is recorded under our cost of license revenue on our consolidated Statement of Operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. We have never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal, but we can provide no assurance that payments will not be required under these agreements in the future.

Stock Repurchase Plans
On December 10, 2007 our Board of Directors authorized and announced a program to repurchase up to $2,500 of our common stock. On February 12, 2008, we reached the authorized limit set by the December 10, 2007 stock repurchase plan purchasing a total of 428,100 shares at an average price of $5.84 per share or approximately $2,500.
On March 18, 2008 our Board of Directors authorized a second stock repurchase program, which was announced on March 19, 2008, to repurchase up to $2,500 of our common stock. On June 16, 2008, we reached the authorized limit set by the March 18. 2008 stock repurchase plan purchasing a total of 415,300 shares at an average price of $6.02 per share or approximately $2,500.
During the six month ended June 30, 2008, we repurchased 697,700 shares at an average of $5.903 per share or approximately $4,119 under a structured share repurchase agreement with a large financial institution under these programs.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities. As participating securities, these instruments should be included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective in 2009. We do not expect a material effect from adoption of this rule.
In May 2008, the FASB released SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 establishes the GAAP hierarchy and identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing or extending assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB No. 142. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP No. 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R does the following: requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose certain information to enable users to understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The statement requires that cash outflows such as transaction costs and post-acquisition restructuring be charged to expense instead of capitalized as a cost of the acquisition. Contingent purchase price will be recorded at its initial fair value and then re-measured as time passes through adjustments to net income. SFAS No. 141R is effective in 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing companies with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure eligible items at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Eligible items include, but are not limited to, accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees, issued debt and firm commitments. If elected, SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Currently, we have not expanded our eligible items subject to the fair value option under SFAS No. 159.
20
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods of those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB released a FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments.
As of June 30, 2008, we did not participate in any derivative financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required under SFAS No. 107. All of our investments are short-term money market accounts and bank deposits that are carried on our books at fair market value. Accordingly, we have no quantitative information concerning the market risk of participating in such investments.
Primary Market Risk Exposures
Our primary market risk exposures are in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Our investment portfolio of cash equivalent and short-term investments is subject to interest rate fluctuations, but we believe this risk is immaterial due to the short-term nature of these investments. Our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations has been and is expected to continue to be modest due to the fact that the operations of our international subsidiary are almost exclusively conducted in the local currency. The impact of currency exchange rate movements on inter-company transactions was immaterial for the three months ended June 30, 2008. International subsidiary operations will be translated into U.S. dollars and consolidated for reporting purposes. Currently, we do not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Managements evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), with the participation of our management, have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on From 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. It should be noted that any system of controls is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurances that the system will achieve its stated goals under reasonably foreseeable future circumstances. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a level that provides such reasonable assurances.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. We make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This provision is reviewed at least quarterly. As of June 30, 2008, no liability was recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of any such contingencies or the costs involved in seeking the resolution of any such contingencies.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
There have not been any material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and filed with the SEC on March 28, 2008.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |

(b) | Rights evidenced by any class of our registered securities have not been materially limited or qualified by the issuance or modification of any other class of securities during the three months ended June 30, 2008. |
