Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company is a software development company focused on bringing innovative and proprietary software products to a wide variety of markets. Our core software products include award-winning fonts and font rendering technologies, mobile browsing and messaging technologies, variable data publishing and web-to-print technologies, and multi-channel communications technologies. The Company operates in one business segment and we conduct our operations through Bitstream Inc. and two foreign subsidiaries: Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd. and Bitstream Israel LTD. On July 18, 2011, in connection with the Separation, Distribution and planned Merger of Bitstream with Monotype Imaging Holdings, Inc. (see note 10), the Company incorporated Marlborough Software Development Holdings (“MSDH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bitstream. As of and through September 30, 2011, there was no activity in MSDH.

The Company is 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. The Company has also experienced net losses in the current year, as well as prior years, and as of September 30, 2011 has an accumulated deficit of approximately $24 million. For a complete discussion of our business risks, see the “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A. beginning on page 18 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

(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. Significant estimates in these financial statements include revenue recognition, the valuation of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation, income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

(b)

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein 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 as of December 31, 2010 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, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 may not necessarily be indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. The Company evaluated subsequent events through November 14, 2011 to determine whether or not any such events required disclosure in this Form 10-Q, and determined that the subsequent event disclosed in Footnote 10 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the only such event.

(c)

Property and Equipment, in thousands

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment consists of the following:


	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $71 and $80, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $207 and $213, respectively.

(d)

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk, dollar amounts in thousands

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, and trade accounts receivable. The Company places a majority of its cash and cash equivalents in one highly-rated financial institution and holds its marketable securities in a custodial account at another highly-rated financial institution. The Company evaluated its accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2011 and determined that its allowance for bad debts of $39 was adequate. At September 30, 2011, three customers accounted for 20%, 13% and 10% of our accounts receivable. At December 31, 2010, two customers accounted for 23% and 16% of our accounts receivable. We do not have any off-balance sheet risks as of September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue. One customer accounted for 10% of our revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2010.

Comprehensive Loss, in thousands

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and adjustments to stockholders’ equity for historical foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains from investments in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. For the purposes of comprehensive loss disclosures, the Company does not record tax provisions or benefits for the net changes in the foreign currency translation adjustment, as it intends to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings in its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. For purposes of comprehensive loss disclosures, the Company also does not record tax provisions or benefits for unrealized gains or losses on investments in marketable securities as it has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets and is not currently recording a tax liability.

The components of comprehensive loss are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Net loss	$	(1,950	)	$	(1,174	)	$	(4,235	)	$	(2,257	)
Unrealized gain on investments in marketable securities, net		64			192			120			385

Total comprehensive loss	$	(1,886	)	$	(982	)	$	(4,115	)	$	(1,872	)

Accumulated other comprehensive income consisted of the following:


	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010

Unrealized gain on investments in marketable securities, net	$	314	$	194

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. As the new guidance relates only to how comprehensive income is disclosed and does not change the items that must be reported as comprehensive income, adoption will not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. Other than requiring additional disclosures, we do not anticipate material impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Fair Value Hierarchy, in thousands

The accounting standards codification for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three levels are defined as follows:


Level 1		Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities for the instrument or security to be valued.

Level 2		Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, through corroboration with observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3		Level 3 inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:


	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Description	Balance		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Foreign Currency Remeasurement and Transactions, in thousands

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities of subsidiaries outside the United States of America denominated in other currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars using period-end and historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense accounts are remeasured at the monthly average rates in effect during the period. The effects of the remeasurement of the balances of our Israel and India subsidiaries are included as gains (losses) and reported as Interest and other income, net in the condensed and consolidated statements of operations.

Transaction losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $53 and $25, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $74 and $29, respectively.

(2)

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities, in thousands

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Cash equivalents are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. The Company’s investments in marketable securities, corporate and government bonds, are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gain or loss recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity. Purchased interest is included in interest receivable and reported as other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amortized cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest and other income, net of expense. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest and other income, net of expense. The fair value of investments in marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those instruments.

As of September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents included bank deposits and money market instruments. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 cash equivalents were $178 and $169, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, aggregate investments in marketable securities consisted of:


	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Market Value

September 30, 2011:

Government bonds	$	822	$	53	$	—		$	875

Corporate bonds		5,342		273		(12	)		5,603


Total	$	6,164	$	326	$	(12	)	$	6,478

Corporate bonds		6,731		169		(4	)		6,896

Total	$	7,908	$	195	$	(6	)	$	8,097

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded interest and other income (loss), net of $(62). Of this amount, $(60) related to the reversal of transaction gains from the sale of investments that were incorrectly recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Because the amount involved was not material to the Company’s financial statements in the prior or current quarterly period, the Company recorded the adjustment to correct the error during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Acquisition, dollar amounts in thousands

On June 3, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of certain of the assets of Press-Sense Ltd. (“Press-Sense”) pursuant to terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 31, 2010 by and among the Company, Bitstream Israel Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized under the Laws of the State of Israel and the court appointed Special Manager of Press-Sense Ltd., an Israeli company in temporary liquidation under the supervision of the District Court of Haifa. The purchase price of $6,528, including $28 of VAT, was paid in cash. Assets purchased include all Press-Sense software and know-how and related intellectual property rights (both source code and object code), some fixed and tangible assets, and all trademarks, transferable licenses and customer data. No liabilities were acquired in the transaction. The results of operations of the Press-Sense assets have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since June 3, 2010. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with appropriate standards.

Goodwill was recognized for the excess purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected growth from synergies related to the integration of Press-Sense assets acquired with the Company’s Pageflex automated marketing communication and print production software. Goodwill from the acquisition of Press-Sense Ltd. assets will be included within the Company’s one reporting unit and will be included in the Company’s enterprise-level annual review for impairment. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The following table reflects the fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets and related estimates of useful lives:


	Fair Value		Weighted Average Useful life (Years)

Developed product technology	$	1,410		7.5

Goodwill resulted from the acquisitions of Type Solutions, Inc. and Alaras Corporation, both acquired in 1998, as well as the purchase of certain assets from Press-Sense Ltd. on June 3, 2010. Goodwill was $3,526 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The Company follows the accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and other intangible assets as required by authoritative standards. Under these standards, goodwill is not amortized, but is required to be reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company has determined that it does not have separate reporting units and thus goodwill is tested for impairment based upon an enterprise wide valuation. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill since the time of the change to the authoritative guidance which called for goodwill to be reviewed for impairment based on the results of impairment tests rather than amortized.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company is capitalizing certain costs associated with the translation of its Pageflex Storefront product into ten additional languages. This development is expected to be complete during its second quarter 2012 and to be amortized over a seven year useful life.

Other Intangible Assets

The carrying amounts of other intangible assets were $3,182 and $3,479 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded under the purchase method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company amortizes other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, which approximates the estimated realization of cash flow from these assets. Marketing-related intangibles have useful lives of four to eight years. Technology-based intangible assets have useful lives of five to twelve years. The weighted average useful life of other intangible assets is 9 years.

Loss Per Share, in thousands

Basic earnings or loss per share is determined by dividing net income or loss 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, warrants, and restricted shares, based on the treasury stock method if the effect is not anti-dilutive.

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. As a result there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

If the Company had reported a profit for the three months periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the potential common shares would have increased the weighted average shares outstanding by 203 and 549, respectively, and for the nine months periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 by 323 and 631, respectively. In addition, there were unvested restricted stock and options to purchase 574 and 636 shares of common stock for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 490 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, which were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their effect would be antidilutive.

Equity-Based Compensation Expense, in thousands

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with authoritative guidance, under which stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.

The Company currently estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the expected volatility of its stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and its expected annual dividend yield. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option valuation model. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company believes 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.

BITSTREAM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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.

The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions we utilized for grants of share-based awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

During the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2011, we granted restricted stock awards of 14 and 36 shares, respectively. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 we granted restricted stock awards of 45 and 120 shares, respectively. Restricted stock awards are valued at the fair market value at the grant date.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, we modified existing restricted stock awards and options. On April 4, 2011, we accelerated the vesting of 14 shares of restricted stock awarded to a member of our Board of Directors who passed away during the year, resulting in a net expense of $75 during the periods. On April 4, 2011, we also increased the exercise period on 20 shares of his previously vested options from 90 days to one year after separation resulting in an additional $1 in compensation expense. On May 1, 2011, in connection with the resignation of our former CEO and Director, we accelerated the vesting of 5 shares of restricted stock awards resulting in a net expense decrease of $4 as we reversed compensation expense for shares that did not vest. On May 1, 2011, we also modified 23 unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested stock options to purchase 83 shares of our Class A Common Stock held by her as of her resignation date with the addition of a performance condition that would allow the restricted stock and options to vest if a “Change in Control”, as defined in the severance agreement between the Company and its former CEO dated April 15, 2010, is consummated on or before November 1, 2011. The compensation expense valued for this modification will be recognized at such time as the performance condition is deemed probable or at its occurrence. The performance period has been completed and the condition has not been satisfied, therefore, no incremental expense was recorded.

All options granted have a contractual ten-year term. All options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, and fourth year anniversaries over a four year period of continuous employee service. All restricted stock awards made prior to January 1, 2010 vest in equal installments on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth year anniversaries over a five year period of continuous employee service. All restricted stock awards made subsequent to January 1, 2010 vest in twenty equal installments on the quarterly anniversaries from the date of grant over a five-year period.

Commitments and Contingencies, dollar amounts in thousands

Lease commitments

The Company conducts its operations in leased facilities. In June 2009, the Company entered into a ten-year lease agreement for 27 thousand square feet of office space with the right of first refusal on an additional four thousand square feet in a building located in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This lease agreement commenced September 1, 2009 and obligates 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. The lease payments began after three (3) free months of rent and increase by approximately 2% per annum. The remaining commitment under the lease at September 30, 2011 is approximately $4,475. The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis, taking into consideration the free rent period, the tenant allowance received at the outset of the lease, and annual incremental increases to the lease payments. The Company’s current lease agreement also requires it to maintain a Letter of Credit in the amount of $136 through October 31, 2019, which the Company collateralized with a certificate of deposit classified as a long-term restricted asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 obligates the Company to make monthly payments including service taxes. In January 2011, Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd., exercised the option to renew the lease agreement for an additional twenty-seven (27) months. The remaining commitment at September 30, 2011 is approximately $106 U.S. dollars.

In January 2011, Bitstream Israel Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a thirty-six (36) month lease agreement in Caesarea, Israel. This lease agreement commenced April 15, 2011 and obligates us to make semi-annual payments including service taxes. The remaining commitment at September 30, 2011 is approximately $320 U.S. dollars. This lease agreement also required us to obtain a bank guarantee in the amount of approximately $54 U.S. dollars to be in place through May 14, 2014. The bank guarantee is classified as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Royalties

The Company has certain royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of products. Royalty expense is 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 the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Guarantees

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees 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, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s 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. The Company has 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, the Company is 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, and claims involving commercial, employment and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes 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 September 30, 2011, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, and no liability was recorded. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that the Company’s 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.

Income Taxes, in thousands

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with authoritative guidance, under which a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. The following is a summary of the components of the provision for income taxes:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,

Foreign taxes include foreign withholding taxes from OEM license royalties from customers in countries who are a party to tax conventions with the United States including Korea, Israel and Poland, as well as foreign taxes paid by Bitstream India Pvt. Ltd., our subsidiary in India and by Bitstream Israel Ltd. our subsidiary in Israel. Federal income tax is related to the deferred tax liability from the amortization of Goodwill for tax purposes.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had U.S. federal and state NOL carryforwards of $14,716 and $3,567, respectively, of which the benefit of approximately $9,030 and $973, respectively, when realized, will be recorded as a credit to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2020 for federal purposes and in 2011 for state purposes. The Company also had U.S. federal and state research and development credit (“R&D Credit”) carryforwards of $1,088 and $409, respectively. These R&D credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2011 for federal purposes and 2016 for state purposes. As of December 31, 2010, we have foreign tax credit carryforwards of $726. These foreign tax credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2012.

The Company continued to provide a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2011, as it believes it is more likely than not that the future tax benefits from accumulated net operating losses and deferred taxes will not be realized. The Company continues 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 future periods, 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance clarifying the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2007, the implementation of which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, and also at December 31, 2010, and September 30, 2011, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company’s 2006 through 2010 tax years remain open to examination by the material taxing jurisdictions to which it is subject.

Subsequent Events

On November 10, 2011, the Board of Directors of Bitstream authorized the contribution of the Pageflex and Bolt Products from Bitstream to Bitstream’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Marlborough Software Development Holdings, Inc. (“MSDH”), (the “Separation”), and the distribution of shares of MSDH stock to holders of Bitstream stock on a one for one basis, (the “Distribution”), MSDH was formed in conjunction with Bitstream’s planned merger (the “Bitstream Merger”) with and acquisition by a newly-formed subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) of Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Monotype”). The completion of the Separation and Distribution are conditions precedent to the Bitstream Merger. Management and the Board of Directors of Bitstream believe that it is in the best interest of shareholders to separate and allow for the merger of Bitstream’s business relating to its OEM and retail font and font technology products with Monotype’s Merger Sub.

Also, on November 10, 2011, Bitstream and Monotype signed the Merger Agreement contemplated by the above actions, and Monotype entered into voting agreements with each of the directors and executive officers of Bitstream and certain stockholders of Bitstream that beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 44% of Bitstream’s common stock, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares of Bitstream common stock in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. On November 10, 2011, MSDH filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC to register the shares of MSDH common stock that will be distributed to holders of Bitstream common stock pursuant to the Distribution.

Web pages are first loaded by the BOLT servers, then transcoded and sent to the BOLT mobile browser client on handsets. This client/server approach maintains the integrity of Web page layouts, reduces packet consumption on data networks, dramatically improves page load speeds, and enables advanced features such as video streaming.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America consistently applied. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. These items are regularly monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.

While all of our accounting policies impact the consolidated financial statements, certain policies are viewed to be critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical in fully understanding and evaluating our financial results:

•

cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities;

•

accounts receivable;

•

revenue recognition;

•

impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets;

•

stock-based compensation; and

•

income taxes.

Please refer to the critical accounting policies set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 31, 2011, for a description of all critical accounting policies.

The critical accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 have not materially changed.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes”, “project”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “intends”, “strategy”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “will be”, “will continue”, “will likely result”, and similar expressions. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Actual performance and results of operations may differ materially from those projected or suggested in the forward-looking statements due to certain risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, market acceptance of our products, competition and the timely introduction of new products.

License Revenue

The increase in revenue from software licenses was attributable to an increase in direct sales of $647, or 19.6%, to $3,950 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $3,303 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of fonts from our e-commerce site resulting from an increase in both volume and variety of fonts sold, as well as the release of Webfonts during the first quarter of 2011. Software license revenue from Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Independent Software Vendors (“ISVs”) decreased $364, or 27.2%, to $976 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $1,340 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease in OEM sales resulted primarily from a decrease related to timing of renewals of existing multi-year license contracts, partially offset by an increase resulting from sales of the iWay product acquired from Press-Sense in June 2010. Software license revenue from resellers increased $185, or 192.7%, to $281 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $96 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in reseller revenue and direct sales, excluding e-commerce sales, primarily resulted from sales of the iWay product acquired from Press-Sense in June 2010.

The increase in revenue from software licenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable to an increase in direct sales of $2,482, or 26.2%, to $11,950, as compared to $9,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due to an increase in sales of fonts from our e-commerce site. This increase was due to an increase in both the volume and variety of fonts sold, as well as the release of Webfonts during the first quarter of 2011. Software license revenue from resellers for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $338, or 110.5%, to $644, as compared to $306 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in reseller revenue and direct sales, excluding e-commerce sales, was due to sales of the iWay product acquired from Press-Sense in June 2010 as well as increases in the volume and variety of fonts and publishing products licensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Software license revenue from Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Independent Software Vendors (“ISVs”) increased $126, or 3.8%, to $3,427 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $3,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in OEM and ISV revenue for the nine month periods was primarily due to sales of the iWay product acquired in June 2010, partially offset by a decrease related to timing of renewals of existing multi-year license contracts. We were affected by the global economic downturn, as were our customers, including various OEMs and ISVs who report product royalties on shipments of their products. We are not able to determine at this time how these economic conditions will impact our license revenue during the remainder of 2011.

Service Revenue

Revenue from services increased 28.8% and 38.6%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2010 due to increases across all of our product lines. The largest increases during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 were $216 and $883, respectively, from customer support contracts related to the iWay product acquired in June 2010, as well as increases of $74 and $245, respectively, in custom design consulting in

font and font technology. Service revenue from direct sales for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $11, or 1.1%, to $985, as compared to $974 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Service revenue from resellers for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $122, or 69.3%, to $298, as compared to $176 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase results primarily from the addition of support contracts through reseller distributors for the iWay product acquired in June 2010 of $127. Service revenue from OEMs and ISVs increased $225, or 241.9%, to $318, as compared to $93 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This increase is related primarily to increases in custom consulting services for font and font technology of $109, as well as iWay support contracts of $83.

Service revenue from direct sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $133, or 4.8%, to $2,887, as compared to $2,754 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Service revenue from resellers increased $630, or 116.2%, to $1,172 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase is related primarily to support contracts for the iWay product of $641. Service revenue from OEMs and ISVs increased $606, or 238.6%, to $860 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $254 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase includes iWay support contracts of $226 and custom consulting services for font and font technology of $270, as well as browsing support and services of $93. We anticipate that consulting, graphic design and training services vary with specific requirements of customers and may be affected more by economic concerns as customers may delay design changes, custom development and training. However, we are not able to determine at this time how these economic concerns will impact our service revenue during the remainder of 2011.

We recognize license revenue from direct sales and licensing agreements of our products and products from third parties, including e-commerce sales made via our websites, 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 mobile browsing products, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $11 and $33, respectively. Referral income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $11 and $34, 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.

Cost of License Revenue

The increase in cost of license revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to increased direct costs, including royalty and credit card processing expenses of $620, or 28.9%, to $2,765 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $2,145 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase resulted from increased sales of third party products including e-commerce sales. The increase in cost of license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to increased direct costs, including royalty and credit card processing expenses of $1,851, or 30.0%, to $8,019 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $6,168 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase resulted from increased sales of third party products including e-commerce sales. Cost of license revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes $121 and $366, respectively, of hosting fees for the browsing product line, as well. We also incurred increased support infrastructure costs for our e-commerce and browsing product lines during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011. Due to anticipated e-commerce revenue growth, we expect that cost of licenses as a percentage of sales for 2011 will continue at a level above that reflected in our 2010 financial statements, until such time as revenue from sales of our type, publishing and browsing technologies begins to increase relative to the increase in e-commerce revenue. Quarterly results may vary based upon the mix of products sold during any particular quarter.

Cost of Service Revenue

The increase in cost of services revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2010, was $148 and $350, respectively. These increases were associated with the Israel office established in June 2010 with the acquisition of assets of Press-Sense, and increases

related to a reduction in the internal allocation of resources charged to research and development projects resulting in higher cost of services expense of $23 and $116 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2010. Our cost of services infrastructure has remained relatively constant during 2011 and we expect our variable costs to increase as the demand for these services increases and also with the addition of support and consulting services for the iWay product which was acquired as part of the acquisition of the Press-Sense Ltd. assets. We expect our cost of services revenue as a percentage of revenue to increase to approximate the level attained during 2010.

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 products. These costs include depreciation and amortization.

Marketing and Selling (“M&S”) Expense

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. M&S expense increased $184, or 19.5%, to $1,129 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $945 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase is related primarily to the addition of sales and marketing personnel associated with the iWay product acquired in June 2010 of $123, an increase in salaries and travel expenses related to the browser product of $91, partially offset by a decrease of $31 in recruiting fees for browser personnel.

M&S expense increased $568, or 21.5%, to $3,215 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $2,647 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase in M&S expense related primarily to the addition of sales and marketing personnel associated with the iWay product of $434, amortization of iWay customer lists of $80, an increase in sales personnel and related travel expenses for the browser product of $197, partially offset by a decrease of $111 in tradeshow expenses in 2011, and a decrease of $31 in recruiting fees for browser personnel. We expect that our M&S expense will increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue during the remainder of 2011, as commissionable sales increase and as we invest in new sales and marketing resources.

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expense

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. R&D expense increased $71, or 3.5%, to $2,128 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $2,057 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase in R&D expense was primarily the result of increases in salaries and benefits of $61 worldwide, $51 recruiting fees, $41 facilities allocation and $25 equipment and depreciation. These increases are partially offset by the inclusion of $120 of browser hosting costs in cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These costs were included as R&D expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as the Company had yet to recognize any revenue from its free user base and provide hosting services to carrier and device manufacturers.

R&D expense increased $1,326, or 26.1%, to $6,402 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $5,076 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase in R&D expense was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and benefits of $95 due to increases in R&D personnel in the US, and $929 related to the addition of R&D personnel for the iWay product plus recruiting fees of $71, and $212 for additional headcount added in India during 2010. Increases also included an increase in facilities and overhead allocation to R&D worldwide of $166, and an increase in equipment and depreciation expenses of $77. These increases are partially offset by a decrease of $116 in personnel costs allocated from support services to R&D, and by the inclusion of $268 of browser hosting costs in cost of revenue. These costs were included as R&D expense in 2010, as the Company had yet to recognize any revenue from its free user base and provide hosting services to carrier and device manufacturers. We expect our development efforts and R&D expense to increase as compared to 2010 both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of sales during the remainder of 2011.

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expense

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. G&A expense increased $553, or 45.8%, to $1,760 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $1,207 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. A significant contributor to this increase is related to business advisory and other related legal and accounting services including costs associated with the merger and separation as disclosed under Liquidity and Capital Resources of $801. This increase was partially offset by the non-recurrence of Press-Sense acquisition costs in 2010 of $109 as well as a decrease in compensation expense of $132 related to the salaries, benefits and other compensation of the former CEO.

G&A expense increased $2,079, or 69.4%, to $5,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $2,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Significant contributors to this increase are the expense of $695 related to the May 2011 resignation agreement with the Company’s former CEO, which includes salary, stock awards and attorney’s fees, as well as $1,092 in business advisory and other related legal and accounting services including costs associated with the merger and separation as disclosed under Liquidity and Capital Resources. Other increases include $608 related to the Israel office established in June 2010, which includes the hiring of a general manager of Publishing, as well as a net increase of $136 for additional G&A resources in the US. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation expenses of $363 related to the former CEO, and by a decrease in accounting and tax services of $431 in 2010 related to the acquisition of Press-Sense. We expect that G&A expenses will increase both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue for our fourth quarter due to transaction fees associated with the Separation and the Distribution of shares of MSDH stock in conjunction with Bitstream’s planned merger with and acquisition by Monotype’s Merger Sub.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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 September 30, 2011, we had net working capital of $(259) versus $939 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $1,198, or 127.6%. Including long-term available-for-sale marketable securities, classified as long-term due to stated maturity dates that are longer than one year, we had adjusted net working capital of $6,219 at September 30, 2011 versus $9,036 at December 31, 2010.

Our primary source of liquidity comes from our cash, cash equivalents and investments, which totaled $10,505 at September 30, 2011. Our investments are classified as available-for-sale and consist of securities that are readily convertible to cash, including government, government agency, and corporate bonds. Based on our current expectations, we anticipate that some portion of our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be consumed by operations.

Our operating activities provided (used) cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 of $(900) and $628, respectively. The major components of cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was our loss of $4,235 less non cash expenditures of $961, as well as an increase of $808 in accounts receivable. These uses of cash were partially offset by increases in deferred revenue of $457, accounts payable $748, accrued payroll $314, and accrued expenses $77. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 consisted primarily of our net loss of $2,257 plus non cash expenditures of $1,221 during the period.

Cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $895 and consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of investments in marketable securities of $1,785, partially offset by additions to capitalized software development costs of $554, purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets of $266 and $15, respectively, and an increase in restricted cash of $55 for the new Israel office rent deposit. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $14,202 and consisted primarily of investments in marketable securities of $8,990, acquisition of Press-Sense Ltd. of $6,528, and purchases of non-Press-Sense related property and equipment and intangible assets of $112 and $22, respectively. The Press-sense assets included $80 in property and equipment, $3,610 in intangible assets, and $2,810 in goodwill. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $1,450.

Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 provided cash of $861 and $336, respectively, from the exercise of stock options.

In June 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Net-Translators LLC with an estimated fee structure of $835, payable in installments upon completion of milestones specified in the agreement. Net-Translators will provide software development services related to the localization of our Storefront product into ten languages. As of September 30, 2011, the Company paid $488 with an estimated $347 remaining commitment which is expected to be paid during the next six months. These fees are recorded as capitalized software development costs which are expected to be amortized over a seven year period.

We believe our current cash and cash equivalent and investments in marketable securities 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.

From time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions of products, businesses and technologies that may complement or expand our business. If we were to pursue any such transaction, we may use a portion of our working capital, the proceeds of marketable securities, or raise funding for such activities through the issuance of equity or debt securities. As a result of its ongoing exploration of strategic alternatives, the Company continues to actively pursue a sale of the business, in whole or in part. No definitive agreements or understandings have been reached and there can be no assurance that any such transaction will be consummated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as such term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Stock Repurchase Plan

We may, from time to time, as business conditions warrant, purchase stock in the open market or through private transactions and may enter into structured stock repurchase agreements with third parties. Purchases may be increased, decreased or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Any repurchase program is subject to certain repurchase conditions, including daily volume limitations, as provided under the applicable SEC safe harbor rules.

Subsequent Events

On November 10, 2011, the Board of Directors of Bitstream authorized the contribution of the Pageflex and Bolt Products from Bitstream to Bitstream’s wholly owned subsidiary, Marlborough Software Development Holdings, Inc. (“MSDH”) , (the “Separation”) and the distribution of shares of MSDH stock to holders of Bitstream stock on a one for one basis, (the “Distribution”), MSDH was formed in conjunction with Bitstream’s planned merger (the “Bitstream Merger”) with and acquisition by a newly-formed subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) of Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Monotype”). MSDH consists of the Pageflex and Bolt product lines that were contributed to it by Bitstream. The completion of the Separation and Distribution are conditions precedent to the Bitstream Merger and the Distribution must be completed at least three business days prior to the completion of the Bitstream Merger. The Separation, Distribution and Bitstream Merger will be consummated because management and the Board of Directors of Bitstream believe that it is in the best interest of shareholders to separate and allow for the merger of Bitstream’s business relating to its OEM and retail font and font technology products with Monotype’s Merger Sub.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments

As of September 30, 2011, we did not participate in any derivative financial instruments or other financial and commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required. Our investments include bank deposits, short-term money market accounts and investments in marketable securities including corporate bonds and government and government agency bonds that are carried on our books at fair value.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The primary objective of our current investment activities is to preserve investment principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. To meet these objectives, we invest funds not immediately required for operations only in high quality debt securities. We also limit the percentage of total investments that may be invested in any one issuer. Investments in corporate bonds as a group are also limited to a maximum percentage of our investment portfolio. We maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments in a variety of securities including money market funds, corporate bonds and government debt securities. These available-for-sale investments are subject to interest rate risk and may decline in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates increased immediately and uniformly by 10 percent from levels at September 30, 2011, the fair value of the portfolio would decline by approximately $645. We have the ability to hold our fixed income investments until maturity, and therefore do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.

In addition to interest rate risk, we are subject to market risk on our investments. We monitor all of our investments for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that the carrying value of the investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the carrying value is reduced to its current fair market value. In the absence of other overriding factors, we consider a decline in market value to be a potential indicator of an other than temporary impairment when a publicly traded stock or a debt security has traded below amortized cost for a consecutive six-month period. If an investment continues to trade below amortized cost for more than six months, and mitigating factors such as general economic and industry specific trends, including the creditworthiness of the issuer are not present, this investment would be evaluated for impairment and written down to a balance equal to the estimated fair value at the time of impairment, with the amount of the write-down recorded in Interest and other income, net, on the consolidated statements of operations. If management concludes it does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, and the issuers of the securities are creditworthy, no other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to exist.

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 Form 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 SEC’s 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 Company’s 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 September 30, 2011 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

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, and claims involving commercial, employment and other matters. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 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 September 30, 2011, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, and 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

We incorporate herein by reference the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as amended and supplemented by the risk factors contained in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as amended and supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011, except for the addition of the following risk factor:

Our pending merger with a subsidiary of Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. and the planned, related spin-off of our Pageflex and Bolt product lines may cause disruption in our business and, if the pending merger and spin-off do not occur, we will have incurred significant expenses and our stock price may decline.

The announcement of our pending merger with a subsidiary of Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. (“Monotype Imaging”) and the related pending distribution to our existing stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) of all of the shares of common stock of Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“MSDH”), which owns and controls all of our assets, liabilities and operations relating to our Pageflex and Bolt products, whether or not consummated, may result in a loss of key personnel and may disrupt our sales and operations, which may have an impact on our financial performance. The merger agreement generally requires us to operate our business in the ordinary course pending consummation of the merger, but includes certain contractual restrictions on the conduct of our business that may affect our ability to execute on our business strategies and attain our financial goals. Additionally, the announcement of the pending merger and Spin-Off, whether or not consummated, may impact our relationships with third parties.

The completion of the pending merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others (i) adoption of the merger agreement by our shareholders, (ii) the consummation of the Spin-Off prior to the effective time of the merger; (iii) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made in the merger agreement by us and by Monotype Imaging and its subsidiary, respectively, and compliance by us and by Monotype Imaging and its subsidiary with our and their respective obligations under the merger agreement and (v) the non-occurrence of an event having a “Company Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the merger agreement) on us. The completion of the Spin-Off is subject to the declaration of the effectiveness by the SEC of the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by MSDH with the SEC with respect to the Spin-Off .

If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, then we would be required to pay Monotype Imaging a termination fee of $2,000,000. In addition, if the merger agreement is terminated because our stockholders fail to approve the merger, then, in addition to such termination fee we will be obligated to pay Monotype Imaging’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proposed merger. In the event we fail to complete the Spin-Off by the time required in the merger agreement, Monotype Imaging may elect to terminate the merger agreement, and upon such termination we will be obligated to pay Monotype Imaging $1,000,000.

We cannot predict whether all of the closing conditions for the pending merger set forth in the merger agreement will be satisfied. As a result, we cannot assure you that the pending merger will be completed. If the closing conditions for the pending merger set forth in the merger agreement are not satisfied or waived pursuant to the merger agreement, or if the transaction is not completed for any other reason, the market price of our common stock may decline. In addition, if the pending merger and Spin-Off do not occur, we will nonetheless remain liable for significant expenses that we have incurred related to the transactions, as well as potentially being liable for a termination fee and/or Monotype Imaging’s expenses incurred in connection with the merger, as described above.

These matters, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
