PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

	•	Increasingly mobile workforce.  Workers are spending less of their time in a traditional office environment and are increasingly telecommuting and traveling with Internet-enabled devices.

	•	Increasing use of IT outsourcing by SMBs.  SMBs generally have limited internal IT expertise and IT budgets and are therefore increasingly turning to third-party service providers to manage the complexity of IT services at an affordable cost.
	•	Growing adoption of on-demand solutions.  By accessing hosted, on-demand solutions through a web browser, companies can avoid the time and costs associated with installing, configuring and maintaining IT support applications within their existing IT infrastructure.
	•	Increasing need to support the growing number of Internet-enabled consumer devices.  Consumer adoption of Internet-enabled devices is growing rapidly. Manufacturers, retailers and service providers struggle to provide cost-effective support for these devices and often turn to remote support and management solutions in order to increase customer satisfaction while lowering the cost of providing that support.
	•	Proliferation of Internet-enabled mobile devices (smartphones).  The rapid proliferation and increased functionality of smartphones is creating a growing need for remote support of these devices.

	•	Reduced set-up, support and management costs.  Businesses easily set up our on-demand services with little or no modification to the remote location’s network or security systems and without the need for upfront technology or software investment. In addition, our customers lower their support and management costs by performing management-related tasks remotely.
	•	Increased mobile worker productivity.  Our remote-access services allow non-technical users to access and control remote computers and other Internet-enabled devices, increasing their mobility and allowing them to remain productive while away from the office.
	•	Increased end-user satisfaction.  Our services enable help desk technicians to quickly and easily gain control of a remote user’s computer. Once connected, the technician can diagnose and resolve problems while interacting with and possibly training the end user.
	•	Reliable, fast and secure services.  Our services possess built-in redundancy of servers and other infrastructure in three data centers, two located in the United States and one located in Europe. Our proprietary platform enables our services to connect and manage devices at enhanced speeds. Our services implement industry-standard security protocols and authenticate and authorize users of our services without storing passwords.
	•	Easy to try, buy and use.  Our services are simple to install, and our customers can use our services to manage their remote systems from any web browser. In addition, our low service delivery costs and hosted delivery model allow us to offer each of our services at competitive prices and to offer flexible payment options.

	•	Large established user community.  Our large and growing community of users drives awareness of our services through personal recommendations, blogs and other online communication methods and provides us with a significant audience to which we can market and sell premium services.
	•	Efficient customer acquisition model.  We believe our free products and our large user base help generate word-of-mouth referrals, which in turn increases the efficiency of our paid marketing activities, the large majority of which are focused on pay-per-click search engine advertising.

	•	Technology-enabled cost advantage.  Our patent-pending service delivery platform, Gravity, reduces our bandwidth and other infrastructure requirements, which we believe makes our services faster and less expensive to deliver as compared to competing services.
	•	On-demand delivery.  Delivering our services on-demand allows us to serve additional customers with little incremental expense and to deploy new applications and upgrades quickly and efficiently to our existing customers.
	•	High recurring revenue and high transaction volumes.  We believe that our sales model of a high volume of new and renewed subscriptions at low transaction prices increases the predictability of our revenues compared to perpetual license-based software businesses.

	•	Acquire new customers.  We seek to continue to attract new customers by aggressively marketing our solutions and encouraging trials of our services while expanding our sales force.
	•	Increase sales to existing customers.  We plan to continue upselling and cross-selling our broad portfolio of services to our existing customer base by actively marketing our portfolio of services through e-commerce and by expanding our sales force.
	•	Continue to build our user community.  We plan to grow our community of users by marketing our services through paid advertising to target prospective customers who are seeking remote-connectivity solutions and by continuing to offer our popular free services, LogMeIn Free and LogMeIn Hamachi.
	•	Expand internationally.  We intend to expand our international sales and marketing staff and increase our international marketing expenditures to take advantage of this opportunity.
	•	Continue to expand our service portfolio.  We intend to continue to invest in the development of new on-demand, remote-connectivity services for businesses, IT service providers and consumers. We also intend to extend our services to work with other types of Internet-connected devices.
	•	Pursue strategic acquisitions.  We plan to pursue acquisitions that complement our existing business, represent a strong strategic fit and are consistent with our overall growth strategy.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have had a history of losses.

 

We experienced net losses of $6.7 million for 2006, $9.1 million for 2007, and $5.4 million for 2008. In the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we achieved profitability and reported net income for the first time. We cannot predict if we will sustain this profitability or, if we fail to sustain this profitability, again attain profitability in the near future or at all. We expect to continue making significant future expenditures to develop and expand our business. In addition, as a public company, we will incur additional significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. These increased expenditures make it harder for us to achieve and maintain future profitability. Our recent growth in revenue and customer base may not be sustainable, and we may not achieve sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including due to the other risks described in this prospectus, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability, and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

 

Our company has been in existence since 2003, and much of our growth has occurred in recent periods. Our limited operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and our future prospects. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increasing expenses as we continue to grow our business. If we do not manage these risks successfully, our business will be harmed.

 

Our business is substantially dependent on market demand for, and acceptance of, the on-demand model for the use of software.

 

We derive, and expect to continue to derive, substantially all of our revenue from the sale of on-demand solutions, a relatively new and rapidly changing market. As a result, widespread acceptance and use of the on-demand business model is critical to our future growth and success. Under the perpetual or periodic license model for software procurement, users of the software typically run applications on their hardware. Because companies are generally predisposed to maintaining control of their IT systems and infrastructure, there may be resistance to the concept of accessing the functionality that software provides as a service through a third party. If the market for on-demand software solutions fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, demand for our services could be negatively affected.

 

Growth of our business may be adversely affected if businesses, IT support providers or consumers do not adopt remote access or remote support solutions more widely.

 

Our services employ new and emerging technologies for remote access and remote support. Our target customers may hesitate to accept the risks inherent in applying and relying on new technologies or methodologies to supplant traditional methods of remote connectivity. Our business will not be successful if our target customers do not accept the use of our remote access and remote support technologies.

Adverse economic conditions or reduced IT spending may adversely impact our revenues.

 

Our business depends on the overall demand for IT and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. The use of our service is often discretionary and may involve a commitment of capital and other resources. Weak economic conditions, or a reduction in IT spending even if economic conditions improve, would likely adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition in a number of ways, including by lengthening sales cycles, lowering prices for our services and reducing sales.

 

Failure to renew or early termination of our service and marketing agreement with Intel would adversely impact our revenues.

 

In December 2007, we entered into a service and marketing agreement with Intel Corporation to jointly develop and market a service that delivers connectivity to computers built with Intel components. Under the terms of this four-year agreement, we are adapting our service delivery platform, Gravity, to work with specific technology delivered with Intel hardware and software products. If we are unable to renew our agreement with Intel after the initial four-year term on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, our revenue would decrease. In addition, the agreement grants Intel early termination rights in certain circumstances, such as a failure of the parties to exceed certain minimum revenue levels after the second and third years of the agreement. If Intel exercises any of its early termination rights, even after Intel’s payment of required early termination fees, our revenues would decrease.

 

Assertions by a third party that our services infringe its intellectual property, whether or not correct, could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses. We have recently been named as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging patent infringement.

 

There is frequent litigation in the software and technology industries based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. As we face increasing competition and become increasingly visible as a publicly-traded company, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us may grow. During 2007 and 2008, we were a defendant in three patent infringement lawsuits and paid approximately $2.8 million to settle these lawsuits. We also recently learned that a complaint had been filed against us by PB&J Software, LLC, alleging that we have infringed on one of their patents relating to a particular application or system for transferring or storing back-up copies of files from one computer to a second computer. While the complaint has not been served on us and we believe we have meritorious defenses to these claims, we could be required to spend significant resources investigating and defending this claim. In addition, any adverse determination or settlement of this claim could prevent us from offering a portion of our services or require us to pay damages or license fees.

 

In addition, although we have licensed proprietary technology, we cannot be certain that the owners’ rights in such technology will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Furthermore, many of our service agreements require us to indemnify our customers for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase our costs as a result of defending such claims and may require that we pay damages if there were an adverse ruling related to any such claims. These types of claims could harm our relationships with our customers, may deter future customers from subscribing to our services or could expose us to litigation for these claims. Even if we are not a party to any litigation between a customer and a third party, an adverse outcome in any such litigation could make it more difficult for us to defend our intellectual property in any subsequent litigation in which we are a named party.

 

Any intellectual property rights claim against us or our customers, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management attention and financial resources. An adverse determination also could prevent us from offering our services, require us to pay damages, require us to obtain a license or require that we stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s rights or procure or develop substitute services that do not infringe, which could require significant resources and expenses.

 

We depend on search engines to attract a significant percentage of our customers, and if those search engines change their listings or increase their pricing, it would limit our ability to attract new customers.

 

Many of our customers locate our website through search engines, such as Google. Search engines typically provide two types of search results, algorithmic and purchased listings, and we rely on both types. Algorithmic

listings cannot be purchased and are determined and displayed solely by a set of formulas designed by the search engine. Search engines revise their algorithms from time to time in an attempt to optimize search result listings. If the search engines on which we rely for algorithmic listings modify their algorithms in a manner that reduces the prominence of our listing, fewer potential customers may click through to our website, requiring us to resort to other costly resources to replace this traffic. Any failure to replace this traffic could reduce our revenue and increase our costs. In addition, costs for purchased listings have increased in the past and may increase in the future, and further increases could have negative effects on our financial condition.

 

If we are unable to attract new customers to our services on a cost-effective basis, our revenue and results of operations will be adversely affected.

 

We must continue to attract a large number of customers on a cost-effective basis, many of whom have not previously used on-demand, remote-connectivity solutions. We rely on a variety of marketing methods to attract new customers to our services, such as paying providers of online services and search engines for advertising space and priority placement of our website in response to Internet searches. Our ability to attract new customers also depends on the competitiveness of the pricing of our services. If our current marketing initiatives are not successful or become unavailable, if the cost of such initiatives were to significantly increase, or if our competitors offer similar services at lower prices, we may not be able to attract new customers on a cost-effective basis and, as a result, our revenue and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

If we are unable to retain our existing customers, our revenue and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

We sell our services pursuant to agreements that are generally one year in duration. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions after their subscription period expires, and these subscriptions may not be renewed on the same or on more profitable terms. As a result, our ability to grow depends in part on subscription renewals. We may not be able to accurately predict future trends in customer renewals, and our customers’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, including their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our services, the prices of our services, the prices of services offered by our competitors or reductions in our customers’ spending levels. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions for our services, renew on less favorable terms, or do not purchase additional functionality or subscriptions, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline, and our profitability and gross margins may be harmed.

 

If we fail to convert our free users to paying customers, our revenue and financial results will be harmed.

 

A significant portion of our user base utilizes our services free of charge through our free services or free trials of our premium services. We seek to convert these free and trial users to paying customers of our premium services. If our rate of conversion suffers for any reason, our revenue may decline and our business may suffer.

 

We use a limited number of data centers to deliver our services. Any disruption of service at these facilities could harm our business.

 

We host our services and serve all of our customers from three third-party data center facilities, of which two are located in the United States and one is located in Europe. We do not control the operation of these facilities. The owners of our data center facilities have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to transfer to new data center facilities, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so.

 

Any changes in third-party service levels at our data centers or any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems with our services could harm our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits to customers, subject us to potential liability, cause customers to terminate their subscriptions or harm our renewal rates.

 

Our data centers are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, intentional bad acts, pandemics, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events. At least one of our data facilities is located in an area known for seismic activity, increasing our susceptibility to the risk that an earthquake could significantly harm the operations of these facilities. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism,

vandalism or other misconduct, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services.

 

If the security of our customers’ confidential information stored in our systems is breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access, our reputation may be harmed, and we may be exposed to liability and a loss of customers.

 

Our system stores our customers’ confidential information, including credit card information and other critical data. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access could expose us to liability for the loss of such information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and other possible liabilities as well as negative publicity. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are difficult to recognize and react to. We and our third-party data center facilities may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative or reactionary measures. In addition, many states have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether successful or not, would harm our reputation, and it could cause the loss of customers.

 

Failure to comply with data protection standards may cause us to lose the ability to offer our customers a credit card payment option which would increase our costs of processing customer orders and make our services less attractive to our customers, the majority of which purchase our services with a credit card.

 

Major credit card issuers have adopted data protection standards and have incorporated these standards into their contracts with us. If we fail to maintain our compliance with the data protection and documentation standards adopted by the major credit card issuers and applicable to us, these issuers could terminate their agreements with us, and we could lose our ability to offer our customers a credit card payment option. Most of our individual and SMB customers purchase our services online with a credit card, and our business depends substantially upon our ability to offer the credit card payment option. Any loss of our ability to offer our customers a credit card payment option would make our services less attractive to them and hurt our business. Our administrative costs related to customer payment processing would also increase significantly if we were not able to accept credit card payments for our services.

 

Failure to effectively and efficiently service SMBs would adversely affect our ability to increase our revenue.

 

We market and sell a significant amount of our services to SMBs. SMBs are challenging to reach, acquire and retain in a cost-effective manner. To grow our revenue quickly, we must add new customers, sell additional services to existing customers and encourage existing customers to renew their subscriptions. Selling to, and retaining SMBs is more difficult than selling to and retaining large enterprise customers because SMB customers generally:

 

 

In addition, SMBs frequently have limited budgets and may choose to spend funds on items other than our services. Moreover, SMBs are more likely to be significantly affected by economic downturns than larger, more established companies, and if these organizations experience economic hardship, they may be unwilling or unable to expend resources on IT.

If we are unable to market and sell our services to SMBs with competitive pricing and in a cost-effective manner, our ability to grow our revenue quickly and become profitable will be harmed.

 

We may not be able to respond to rapid technological changes with new services, which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

 

The on-demand, remote-connectivity solutions market is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new service introductions and evolving industry standards. Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers will depend in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing services, introduce new services and sell into new markets. To achieve market acceptance for our services, we must effectively anticipate and offer services that meet changing customer demands in a timely manner. Customers may require features and capabilities that our current services do not have. If we fail to develop services that satisfy customer preferences in a timely and cost-effective manner, our ability to renew our services with existing customers and our ability to create or increase demand for our services will be harmed.

 

We may experience difficulties with software development, industry standards, design or marketing that could delay or prevent our development, introduction or implementation of new services and enhancements. The introduction of new services by competitors, the emergence of new industry standards or the development of entirely new technologies to replace existing service offerings could render our existing or future services obsolete. If our services become obsolete due to wide-spread adoption of alternative connectivity technologies such as other Web-based computing solutions, our ability to generate revenue may be impaired. In addition, any new markets into which we attempt to sell our services, including new countries or regions, may not be receptive.

 

If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new services, enhance our existing services to anticipate and meet customer preferences or sell our services into new markets, our revenue and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

The market in which we participate is competitive, with low barriers to entry, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results may be harmed.

 

The markets for remote-connectivity solutions are competitive and rapidly changing, with relatively low barriers to entry. With the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. In addition, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins or the failure of our services to achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance. Often we compete against existing services that our potential customers have already made significant expenditures to acquire and implement.

 

Certain of our competitors offer, or may in the future offer, lower priced, or free, products or services that compete with our solutions. This competition may result in reduced prices and a substantial loss of customers for our solutions or a reduction in our revenue.

 

We compete with Citrix Systems, WebEx (a division of Cisco Systems) and others. Certain of our solutions, including our free remote access service, also compete with current or potential services offered by Microsoft and Apple. Many of our actual and potential competitors enjoy competitive advantages over us, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, more varied services and larger marketing budgets, as well as greater financial, technical and other resources. In addition, many of our competitors have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases, and have major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators and resellers. If we are not able to compete effectively, our operating results will be harmed.

 

Industry consolidation may result in increased competition.

 

Some of our competitors have made or may make acquisitions or may enter into partnerships or other strategic relationships to offer a more comprehensive service than they individually had offered. In addition,

new entrants not currently considered to be competitors may enter the market through acquisitions, partnerships or strategic relationships. We expect these trends to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions. Many of the companies driving this trend have significantly greater financial, technical and other resources than we do and may be better positioned to acquire and offer complementary services and technologies. The companies resulting from such combinations may create more compelling service offerings and may offer greater pricing flexibility than we can or may engage in business practices that make it more difficult for us to compete effectively, including on the basis of price, sales and marketing programs, technology or service functionality. These pressures could result in a substantial loss of customers or a reduction in our revenues.

 

Original equipment manufacturers may adopt solutions provided by our competitors.

 

Original equipment manufacturers may in the future seek to build the capability for on-demand, remote-connectivity solutions into their products. We may compete with our competitors to sell our services to, or partner with, these manufacturers. Our ability to attract and partner with these manufacturers will, in large part, depend on the competitiveness of our services. If we fail to attract or partner with, or our competitors are successful in attracting or partnering with, these manufacturers, our revenue and results of operations would be affected adversely.

 

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate in the future. As a result, we may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of research analysts or investors, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly operating results or guidance fall below the expectations of research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results or guidance may be due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those listed below:

 

 

We believe that our quarterly revenue and operating results may vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of future performance.

If our services are used to commit fraud or other similar intentional or illegal acts, we may incur significant liabilities, our services may be perceived as not secure and customers may curtail or stop using our services.

 

Our services enable direct remote access to third-party computer systems. We do not control the use or content of information accessed by our customers through our services. If our services are used to commit fraud or other bad or illegal acts, such as posting, distributing or transmitting any software or other computer files that contain a virus or other harmful component, interfering or disrupting third-party networks, infringing any third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy, transmitting any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, vulgar or otherwise objectionable material, or accessing unauthorized third-party data, we may become subject to claims for defamation, negligence, intellectual property infringement or other matters. As a result, defending such claims could be expensive and time-consuming, and we could incur significant liability to our customers and to individuals or businesses who were the targets of such acts. As a result, our business may suffer and our reputation will be damaged.

 

We provide minimum service level commitments to some of our customers, our failure of which to meet could cause us to issue credits for future services or pay penalties, which could significantly harm our revenue.

 

Some of our customer agreements now, and may in the future, provide minimum service level commitments regarding items such as uptime, functionality or performance. If we are unable to meet the stated service level commitments for these customers or suffer extended periods of unavailability for our service, we are or may be contractually obligated to provide these customers with credits for future services or pay other penalties. Our revenue could be significantly impacted if we are unable to meet our service level commitments and are required to provide a significant amount of our services at no cost or pay other penalties. We do not currently have any reserves on our balance sheet for these commitments.

 

We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service or address competitive challenges adequately.

 

We increased our number of full-time employees from 126 at December 31, 2006, to 209 at December 31, 2007, to 287 at December 31, 2008 and to 303 at March 31, 2009, and our revenue increased from $11.3 million in 2006, to $27.0 million in 2007, to $51.7 million in 2008 and was $17.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Our growth has placed, and may continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, financial and other resources. We intend to further expand our overall business, customer base, headcount and operations both domestically and internationally. Creating a global organization and managing a geographically dispersed workforce will require substantial management effort and significant additional investment in our infrastructure. We will be required to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting procedures and we may not be able to do so effectively. As such, we may be unable to manage our expenses effectively in the future, which may negatively impact our gross profit or operating expenses in any particular quarter.

 

If we do not effectively expand and train our work force, our future operating results will suffer.

 

We plan to continue to expand our work force both domestically and internationally to increase our customer base and revenue. We believe that there is significant competition for qualified personnel with the skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining sufficient numbers of personnel to support our growth. New hires require significant training and, in most cases, take significant time before they achieve full productivity. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals. If our recruiting, training and retention efforts are not successful or do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue, our business will be harmed.

Our sales cycles for enterprise customers, currently approximately 10% of our overall sales, can be long, unpredictable and require considerable time and expense, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

 

The timing of our revenue from sales to enterprise customers is difficult to predict. These efforts require us to educate our customers about the use and benefit of our services, including the technical capabilities and potential cost savings to an organization. Enterprise customers typically undertake a significant evaluation process that has in the past resulted in a lengthy sales cycle, typically several months. We spend substantial time, effort and money on our enterprise sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will produce any sales. In addition, service subscriptions are frequently subject to budget constraints and unplanned administrative, processing and other delays. If sales expected from a specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized in that quarter or at all, our results could fall short of public expectations and our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand the sales of our services to customers located outside of the United States, and thus our business is susceptible to risks associated with international sales and operations.

 

We currently maintain offices and have sales personnel or independent consultants outside of the United States and are attempting to expand our international operations. In November 2007, we opened our Europe, Middle East and Africa sales and marketing headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and in January 2009, we opened our Asia-Pacific sales and marketing headquarters in Sydney, Australia. Our international expansion efforts may not be successful. In addition, conducting international operations subjects us to new risks that we have not generally faced in the United States.

 

These risks include:

 

 

Operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. The investment and additional resources required to establish operations and manage growth in other countries may not produce desired levels of revenue or profitability.

 

Our success depends on our customers’ continued high-speed access to the Internet and the continued reliability of the Internet infrastructure.

 

Because our services are designed to work over the Internet, our revenue growth depends on our customers’ high-speed access to the Internet, as well as the continued maintenance and development of the

Internet infrastructure. The future delivery of our services will depend on third-party Internet service providers to expand high-speed Internet access, to maintain a reliable network with the necessary speed, data capacity and security, and to develop complementary products and services, including high-speed modems, for providing reliable and timely Internet access and services. The success of our business depends directly on the continued accessibility, maintenance and improvement of the Internet as a convenient means of customer interaction, as well as an efficient medium for the delivery and distribution of information by businesses to their employees. All of these factors are out of our control.

 

To the extent that the Internet continues to experience increased numbers of users, frequency of use or bandwidth requirements, the Internet may become congested and be unable to support the demands placed on it, and its performance or reliability may decline. Any future Internet outages or delays could adversely affect our ability to provide services to our customers.

 

Our success depends in large part on our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.

 

We rely on a combination of copyright, service mark, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, all of which provide only limited protection. In addition, we have four patents pending, and we are in the process of filing additional patents. We cannot assure you that any patents will issue from our currently pending patent applications in a manner that gives us the protection that we seek, if at all, or that any future patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Any patents that may issue in the future from pending or future patent applications may not provide sufficiently broad protection or they may not prove to be enforceable in actions against alleged infringers. Also, we cannot assure you that any future service mark or trademark registrations will be issued for pending or future applications or that any registered service marks or trademarks will be enforceable or provide adequate protection of our proprietary rights.

 

We endeavor to enter into agreements with our employees and contractors and agreements with parties with whom we do business to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. The steps we have taken, however, may not prevent unauthorized use or the reverse engineering of our technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to ours or infringe our intellectual property. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights also depends on our successful legal actions against these infringers, but these actions may not be successful, even when our rights have been infringed.

 

Furthermore, effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our services are available. In addition, the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in Internet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving.

 

Our use of “open source” software could negatively affect our ability to sell our services and subject us to possible litigation.

 

A portion of the technologies licensed by us incorporate so-called “open source” software, and we may incorporate open source software in the future. Such open source software is generally licensed by its authors or other third parties under open source licenses. If we fail to comply with these licenses, we may be subject to certain conditions, including requirements that we offer our services that incorporate the open source software for no cost, that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon, incorporating or using the open source software and/or that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of the particular open source license. If an author or other third party that distributes such open source software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, enjoined from the sale of our services that contained the open source software and required to comply with the foregoing conditions, which could disrupt the distribution and sale of some of our services.

We rely on third-party software, including server software and licenses from third parties to use patented intellectual property that is required for the development of our services, which may be difficult to obtain or which could cause errors or failures of our services.

 

We rely on software licensed from third parties to offer our services, including server software from Microsoft and patented third-party technology. In addition, we may need to obtain future licenses from third parties to use intellectual property associated with the development of our services, which might not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any software required for the development and maintenance of our services could result in delays in the provision of our services until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our business. Any errors or defects in third-party software could result in errors or a failure of our services which could harm our business.

 

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and investors’ views of us.

 

Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that needs to be evaluated frequently. Our internal controls over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In connection with this offering, we intend to begin the process of documenting, reviewing and improving our internal controls over financial reporting for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report from our independent registered public accounting firm addressing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Both we and our independent registered public accounting firm will be attesting to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in connection with our second filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission after becoming a public company. As part of our process of documenting and testing our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify areas for further attention and improvement. We have begun recruiting additional finance and accounting personnel with skill sets that we will need as a public company.

 

Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may distract our officers and employees, entail substantial costs to modify our existing processes and take significant time to complete. These changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal controls, and any failure to maintain that adequacy, or consequent inability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis, could increase our operating costs and harm our business. In addition, investors’ perceptions that our internal controls are inadequate or that we are unable to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis may harm our stock price and make it more difficult for us to effectively market and sell our services to new and existing customers.

 

Material defects or errors in the software we use to deliver our services could harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our services.

 

The software applications underlying our services are inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time to time found defects in our services, and new errors in our existing services may be detected in the future. Any defects that cause interruptions to the availability of our services could result in:

 

 

 

After the release of our services, defects or errors may also be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our customers. The costs incurred in correcting any material defects or errors in our services may be substantial and could harm our operating results.

 

Government regulation of the Internet and e-commerce and of the international exchange of certain technologies is subject to possible unfavorable changes, and our failure to comply with applicable regulations could harm our business and operating results.

 

As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign governments becomes more likely. For example, we believe increased regulation is likely in the area of data privacy, and laws and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection, processing or use of personal or consumer information could affect our customers’ ability to use and share data, potentially reducing demand for our products and services. In addition, taxation of products and services provided over the Internet or other charges imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be imposed. Any regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting the exchange of information over the Internet could result in reduced growth or a decline in the use of the Internet and could diminish the viability of our Internet-based services, which could harm our business and operating results.

 

Our software products contain encryption technologies, certain types of which are subject to U.S. and foreign export control regulations and, in some foreign countries, restrictions on importation and/or use. We have submitted our encryption products for technical review under U.S. export regulations and have advised U.S. export enforcement authorities that our encryption software products were made available for international distribution from our U.S.-based facilities without first completing this required review procedure. This or any other failure on our part to comply with encryption or other applicable export control requirements could result in financial penalties or other sanctions under the U.S. export regulations, which could harm our business and operating results. Foreign regulatory restrictions could impair our access to technologies that we seek for improving our products and services and may also limit or reduce the demand for our products and services outside of the United States.

 

Our operating results may be harmed if we are required to collect sales or other related taxes for our subscription services in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so.

 

Primarily due to the nature of our services in certain states and countries, we do not believe we are required to collect sales or other related taxes from our customers in certain states or countries. However, one or more other states or countries may seek to impose sales or other tax collection obligations on us, including for past sales by us or our resellers and other partners. A successful assertion that we should be collecting sales or other related taxes on our services could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, discourage customers from purchasing our services or otherwise harm our business and operating results.

 

We may expand by acquiring or investing in other companies, which may divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and consume resources that are necessary to sustain our business.

 

Although we have no ongoing negotiations or current agreements or commitments for any acquisitions, our business strategy may include acquiring complementary services, technologies or businesses. We also may enter into relationships with other businesses to expand our portfolio of services or our ability to provide our services in foreign jurisdictions, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies. Negotiating these transactions can be time-consuming, difficult and expensive, and our ability to close these transactions may often be subject to

conditions or approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions, even if undertaken and announced, may not close.

 

An acquisition, investment or new business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us, the company’s software is not easily adapted to work with ours or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in management or otherwise. Acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our business. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment or business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown liabilities. For one or more of those transactions, we may:

 

 

Any of these risks could harm our business and operating results.

 

The loss of key personnel or an inability to attract and retain additional personnel may impair our ability to grow our business.

 

We are highly dependent upon the continued service and performance of our senior management team and key technical and sales personnel, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer. These officers are not party to an employment agreement with us, and they may terminate employment with us at any time with no advance notice. The replacement of these officers likely would involve significant time and costs, and the loss of these officers may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

 

We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous technology, software and manufacturing companies. For example, our competitors may be able attract and retain a more qualified engineering team by offering more competitive compensation packages. If we are unable to attract new engineers and retain our current engineers, we may not be able to develop and maintain our services at the same levels as our competitors and we may, therefore, lose potential customers and sales penetration in certain markets. Our failure to attract and retain suitably qualified individuals could have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan and, as a result, our ability to compete would decrease, our operating results would suffer and our revenues would decrease.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock

 

We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could harm our operating results.

 

As a public company, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We also have incurred and will incur costs associated with current corporate governance requirements, including requirements under Section 404 and other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and the exchange on which we list our shares of common stock issued in this offering. The expenses incurred by public companies for reporting and corporate governance purposes have increased dramatically. We expect these rules and regulations to

substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We are unable to currently estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage previously available. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as our executive officers.

 

Our failure to raise additional capital or generate the cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in our services could reduce our ability to compete successfully.

 

We may need to raise additional funds, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our stockholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests, and the per share value of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:

 

 

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our common stock. Although our common stock has been approved for listing on The NASDAQ Global Market, an active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained following this offering. The initial public offering price of our common stock was determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters. This initial public offering price may not be indicative of the market price of our common stock after the offering. In the absence of an active trading market for our common stock, investors may not be able to sell their common stock at or above the initial public offering price or at the time that they would like to sell.

 

Our stock price may be volatile, and the market price of our common stock after this offering may drop below the price you pay.

 

The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations after this offering, and it may decline below the initial public offering price. Market prices for securities of early stage companies have historically been particularly volatile. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your common stock at or above the initial public offering price. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

 

 

 

In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to class action lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

 

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the public market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time after the expiration of the lock-up agreements described in the “Underwriting” section of this prospectus. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. After this offering, we will have 21,383,301 shares of common stock outstanding based on the number of shares outstanding as of May 31, 2009. This includes the 5,000,000 shares that we are selling and the 1,666,667 shares that the selling stockholders are selling in this offering, which may be resold in the public market immediately. The remaining 14,716,634 shares, representing 68.8% of our outstanding shares after this offering, are currently restricted as a result of securities laws or lock-up agreements but will be able to be sold, subject to any applicable volume limitations under federal securities laws, in the near future as set forth below.

 

 

In addition, as of May 31, 2009, there were 3,206,450 shares subject to outstanding options that will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by any applicable vesting requirements, the lock-up agreements and Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Moreover, after this offering, holders of an aggregate of approximately 9.9 million shares of our common stock as of May 31, 2009, will have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. We also intend to register all shares of common stock that we may issue under our equity incentive plans,

including 832,982 shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans, including our 2009 stock incentive plan, which we adopted in June 2009 and will be effective upon the closing of this offering. Once we register and issue these shares, they can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to the lock-up agreements.

 

Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.

 

The initial public offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock immediately after this offering. Therefore, if you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate dilution of $12.49 in net tangible book value per share from the price you paid. In addition, following this offering, purchasers in the offering will have contributed 72.5% of the total consideration paid by our stockholders to purchase shares of common stock. Moreover, we issued options in the past to acquire common stock at prices significantly below the initial public offering price. As of May 31, 2009, 3,206,450 shares of common stock were issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.27 per share. To the extent that these outstanding options are ultimately exercised, you will incur further dilution. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the “Dilution” section of this prospectus.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive in this offering and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.

 

Our management will have broad discretion to use our net proceeds from this offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Our management might not apply our net proceeds of this offering in ways that increase the value of your investment. We expect to use the net proceeds to us from this offering for capital expenditures and general corporate purposes and working capital, which may in the future include investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, services or technologies. Our management might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of these net proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use our net proceeds from this offering.

 

After the completion of this offering, we do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

After the completion of this offering, we do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

 

Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:

 

 

These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of our company or changes in our management.

 

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock. Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this prospectus, including statements about our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, among other things, statements about:

 

 

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this prospectus, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.

 

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

In this prospectus, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding the industries and the markets in which we compete. We obtained this information and these statistics from various third-party sources. We believe that these sources and the estimates contained therein are reliable, but we have not independently verified them. Such information involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.

 

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $72.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The selling stockholders will receive approximately $24.8 million from their sale of our common stock in this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. Our chief executive officer and chief technology officer are selling shares of common stock in this offering. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate the net proceeds to us will be approximately $83.3 million, and we estimate the net proceeds to the selling stockholders will be approximately $28.5 million. See the “Principal and Selling Stockholders” section of this prospectus.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds to us from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the development of new services, sales and marketing activities and capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to us for the acquisition of, or investment in, companies, technologies, services or assets that complement our business. Other principal purposes for this offering are to:

 

 

We have not yet determined with any certainty the manner in which we will allocate these net proceeds. Management will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of the net proceeds to us from this offering. The amounts and timing of these expenditures will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated by our operations, competitive and technological developments, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business.

 

Although we may use a portion of our net proceeds for the acquisition of, or investment in, companies, technologies, products or assets that complement our business, we have no present understandings, commitments or agreements to enter into any acquisitions or make any investments. We cannot assure you that we will make any acquisitions or investments in the future.

 

Pending specific use of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds to us from this offering in short-term investment grade and U.S. government securities.

 

We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance our research and development efforts, improvements to our existing services, the development of our proprietary technologies and the expansion of our business. We do not intend to declare or pay cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

 

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization, as of March 31, 2009,

 

 

You should read this table together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this prospectus.

 

The table above does not include:

 

 

If you invest in shares of our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2009 was $2.9 million, or $0.18 per share of common stock. Our pro forma net tangible book value per share set forth below represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on March 31, 2009, after giving effect to the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock upon the closing of this offering.

 

After giving effect to our issuance and sale of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock in this offering at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2009 would have been $75.0 million, or $3.51 per share of our common stock. This represents an immediate increase in our net tangible book value to our existing stockholders of $3.33 per share. The initial public offering price per share of our common stock significantly exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share. Accordingly, new investors who purchase shares of our common stock in this offering will suffer an immediate dilution of their investment of $12.49 per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering without giving effect to the option granted to the underwriters to purchase additional shares of our common stock in this offering:

 

 

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value will increase to $3.89 per share, representing an immediate increase to existing stockholders of $3.71 per share and an immediate dilution of $12.11 per share to new investors. If any shares are issued upon exercise of outstanding options you will experience further dilution.

 

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2009, giving effect to the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock, the differences between the number of shares of our common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us, and the average price per share paid by existing stockholders and by new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. The calculations below are based on the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, before the deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

 

 

The sale of 1,666,667 shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders in this offering, which assumes no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, will reduce the number of shares of our common stock held by existing stockholders to 14,714,134, or 68.8% of the total shares outstanding, and will increase the number of shares of our common stock held by new investors to 6,666,667, or 31.2% of the total shares of our common stock outstanding.

Overview

 

LogMeIn provides on-demand, remote-connectivity solutions to SMBs, IT service providers and consumers. We believe our solutions are used to connect more Internet-enabled devices worldwide than any other connectivity service. Businesses and IT service providers use our solutions to deliver end-user support and to remotely access and manage computers and other Internet-enabled devices more effectively and efficiently. Consumers and mobile workers use our solutions to access computer resources remotely, thereby facilitating their mobility and increasing their productivity. Our solutions, which are deployed on-demand and accessible through a web browser, are secure, scalable and easy for our customers to try, purchase and use. Our paying customer base has grown from approximately 122,000 premium accounts as of March 31, 2008 to more than 188,000 premium accounts as of March 31, 2009.

 

We offer two free services and nine premium services. Our users have connected over 70 million computers and other Internet-enabled devices to a LogMeIn service. Sales of our premium services are generated through word-of-mouth referrals, web-based advertising, expiring free trials that we convert to paid subscriptions and direct marketing to new and existing customers.

 

We derive our revenue principally from subscription fees from SMBs, IT service providers and consumers. The majority of our customers subscribe to our services on an annual basis. We sell our premium services at prices ranging from approximately $30 to $1,900 per year. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our average transaction price was approximately $153, and we completed over 120,000 transactions. Our revenue is driven primarily by the number and type of our premium services for which our paying customers subscribe. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we generated revenues of $17.2 million, compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of approximately 73%. In fiscal 2008, we generated revenues of $51.7 million.

 

In addition to selling our services to end users, we entered into a service and marketing agreement with Intel Corporation in December 2007 pursuant to which we are adapting our service delivery platform, Gravity, to work with specific technology delivered with Intel hardware and software products. The agreement provides that Intel will market and sell the services to its customers. Intel pays us a minimum license and service fee on a quarterly basis during the term of the agreement, and we and Intel share revenue generated by the use of the services by third parties to the extent it exceeds the minimum payments. We began recognizing revenue associated with the Intel service and marketing agreement in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized $1.5 million in revenue from this agreement.

 

In February 2003, we incorporated under the laws of Bermuda. In August 2004, we completed a domestication in the State of Delaware under the name 3am Labs, Inc. We changed our name to LogMeIn, Inc. in March 2006. We have funded our operations primarily through net proceeds of approximately $27.8 million from the sale of redeemable convertible preferred stock and cash flow from operations. We experienced net losses of $6.7 million for 2006, $9.1 million for 2007 and $5.4 million for 2008 and net income of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. We expect to continue making significant future expenditures to develop and expand our business.

 

Sources of Revenue

 

We derive our revenue principally from subscription fees from SMBs, IT service providers and consumers. Our revenue is driven primarily by the number and type of our premium services for which our paying

customers subscribe and is not concentrated within one customer or group of customers. The majority of our customers subscribe to our services on an annual basis and pay in advance, typically with a credit card, for their subscription. A smaller percentage of our customers subscribe to our services on a monthly basis through either month-to-month commitments or annual commitments that are then paid monthly with a credit card. We initially record a subscription fee as deferred revenue and then recognize it ratably, on a daily basis, over the life of the subscription period. Typically, a subscription automatically renews at the end of a subscription period unless the customer specifically terminates it prior to the end of the period. Approximately 94% of our subscriptions have a one-year term. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, our dollar-weighted average renewal rate was approximately 80%. The dollar-weighted average renewal rate is the percentage of our subscriptions, on a dollar basis, that could have terminated during the three months ended March 31, 2009, in accordance with the terms of the subscription agreements but which were renewed. We believe this rate provides us with a view of our customers’ satisfaction with our services and improves the predictability of our revenue.

 

In addition to our subscription fees, to a lesser extent, we also generate revenue from license and annual maintenance fees from the licensing of our product RemotelyAnywhere. We license RemotelyAnywhere to our customers on a perpetual basis. Because we do not have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value, or VSOE, for our maintenance arrangements, we record the initial license and maintenance fee as deferred revenue and recognize the fees as revenue ratably, on a daily basis, over the initial maintenance period. We also initially record maintenance fees for subsequent maintenance periods as deferred revenue and recognize revenue ratably, on a daily basis, over the maintenance period. Revenue from license and maintenance fees for RemotelyAnywhere represented less than 5% of our revenue for fiscal year 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses

 

We allocate certain overhead expenses, such as rent and utilities, to expense categories based on the headcount in or office space occupied by personnel in that expense category as a percentage of our total headcount or office space. As a result, an overhead allocation associated with these costs is reflected in the cost of revenue and each operating expense category.

 

Cost of Revenue.  Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs associated with our data center operations and customer support centers, including wages and benefits for personnel, telecommunication and hosting fees for our services, equipment maintenance, maintenance and license fees for software licenses and depreciation. Additionally, amortization expense associated with the software and technology acquired as part of our acquisition of substantially all the assets of Applied Networking, Inc. is included in cost of revenue. The expenses related to hosting our services and supporting our free and premium customers is related to the number of customers who subscribe to our services and the complexity and redundancy of our services and hosting infrastructure. We expect these expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to increase our number of customers over time but, in total, to remain relatively constant as a percentage of revenue.

 

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits for development personnel, consulting fees associated with outsourced development projects, facilities rent and depreciation associated with assets used in development. We have focused our research and development efforts on both improving ease of use and functionality of our existing services, as well as developing new offerings. The majority of our research and development employees are located in our development centers in Hungary. Therefore, a majority of research and development expense is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We expect that research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to enhance and expand our services but decrease as a percentage of revenue.

 

Sales and Marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of online search and advertising costs, wages, commissions and benefits for sales and marketing personnel, offline marketing costs such as media advertising and trade shows, and credit card processing fees. Online search and advertising costs consist primarily of pay-per-click payments to search engines and other online advertising media such as banner ads. Offline marketing costs include radio and print advertisements as well as the costs to create and produce these advertisements, and tradeshows, including the costs of space at trade shows and costs to design and construct trade show booths. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. In order to continue to grow our business and awareness of our services, we expect that we will continue to commit resources to our sales and marketing

efforts. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars but decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as our revenue increases.

 

General and Administrative.  General and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits for management, human resources, internal IT support, finance and accounting personnel, professional fees, insurance and other corporate expenses. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel and enhance our internal information systems in connection with the growth of our business. In addition, we anticipate that we will incur additional personnel expenses, professional service fees, including auditing, legal and insurance costs, related to operating as a public company. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Our most critical accounting polices are summarized below. See Note 2 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information about these critical accounting policies, as well as a description of our other significant accounting policies.

 

Revenue Recognition.  We provide our customers access to our services through subscription arrangements for which our customers pay us a fee. Our customers enter into a subscription agreement with us for the use of our software, our connectivity service and access to our customer support services, such as telephone and email support. Subscription periods range from monthly to four years, and they are generally one year in duration. We follow the guidance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or the AICPA, Statement of Position, or SOP, 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, and Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue No. 00-03, Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements that Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware. EITF No. 00-03 applies when the software being provided cannot be run on another entity’s hardware or when customers do not have the right to take possession of the software and use it on another entity’s hardware as is the case with our software. We begin to recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is deemed probable. We recognize the subscription fee as revenue on a daily basis over the subscription period.

 

We recognize revenue under multi-element agreements in accordance with SAB No. 104 and SOP 97-2. The terms of these agreements typically include multiple deliverables by us such as subscription and professional services, including development services. Agreements with multiple element deliverables are analyzed to determine if fair value exists for each element on a stand-alone basis. If the value of each deliverable is determinable then revenue is recognized separately when or as the services are delivered, or if applicable, when milestones associated with the deliverable are achieved and accepted by the customer. If the fair value of any of the undelivered performance obligations cannot be determined, the arrangement is accounted for as a single element and we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the period in which we expect to complete performance obligations under the agreement.

 

Our arrangements for the licensing of RemotelyAnywhere permit our customers to use the software on their hardware and include one year of maintenance services, which includes the right to support and upgrades, on a when and if available basis. We follow the guidance of the AICPA in its Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended by its SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2 With Respect to Certain Transactions. We do not have VSOE for our maintenance service arrangements and thus recognize revenue ratably on a daily basis over the initial maintenance period, which is generally one year. We begin to recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is deemed probable.

Income Taxes.  We are subject to federal and various state income taxes in the United States, The Netherlands, Hungary and Australia, and we use estimates in determining our provision for these income taxes and deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets, related valuation allowances, current tax liabilities and deferred tax liabilities are determined separately by tax jurisdiction. In making these determinations, we estimate tax assets, related valuation allowances, current tax liabilities and deferred tax liabilities, and we assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. At December 31, 2008, our deferred tax assets consisted primarily of net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards. As of December 31, 2008, we had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $19.2 million and $18.1 million, respectively, which expire at varying dates through 2028 for U.S. federal income tax purposes and primarily through 2013 for state income tax purposes. We used approximately $2.7 million of the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. We assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized, and we recognize a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment requires judgment as to the likelihood and amounts of future taxable income by tax jurisdiction. To date, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax determination involves significant judgment that is subject to audit by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business.

 

Software Development Costs.  We account for software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software components of our solutions to be marketed to external users, as well as software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 86, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, and Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. We have determined that technological feasibility of our software products and the software component of our solutions to be marketed to external users is reached shortly before their introduction to the marketplace. As a result, the development costs incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility and before their release to the marketplace have not been material, and such costs have been expensed as incurred. In addition, costs incurred during the application development stage for software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs have not been material.

 

Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill.  We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including intangible assets, may not be recoverable. Our recorded intangible assets are associated with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Applied Networking, Inc. in July 2006. We are amortizing the recorded values of such intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range from four to five years. Through March 31, 2009, we have not recorded any impairment charges associated with our long-lived and intangible assets.

 

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may exceed its fair value. Our annual goodwill impairment test is at December 31 of each year. The recorded amount of goodwill at March 31, 2009 represents the goodwill from our acquisition of Applied Networking, Inc. Through March 31, 2009, we have not recorded any impairments of goodwill.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.  Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based awards, including stock options, to employees using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion, or APB, No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense was measured on the date of award as the difference, if any, between the deemed fair value of our common stock and the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of options granted. The option exercise prices and fair value of our common stock are determined by our management and board of directors based on a review of various objective and subjective factors. No compensation expense was recorded for stock options issued to employees prior to January 1, 2006 in fixed amounts and with fixed exercise prices at least equal to the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant.

 

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R, and related interpretations. SFAS 123R supersedes APB No. 25 and related interpretations. We adopted this statement using the prospective transition method, which requires us to recognize compensation expense for all

share-based awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled on or after January 1, 2006. These costs will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for all time-based vested awards. We continue to account for share-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 following the provisions of APB No. 25.

 

For share-based awards subsequent to January 1, 2006, we estimate the fair value of the share-based awards, including stock options, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Determining the fair value of share-based awards requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the award and expected stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards granted in 2007 and 2008 are set forth below:

 

 

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change, and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation could be materially different in the future. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is based on a U.S. Treasury instrument with a term similar to the expected term of the share-based award. The expected term of options has been estimated utilizing the vesting period of the option, the contractual life of the option and our option exercise history. Because there was no public market for our common stock prior to this offering, we lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, we estimate our expected stock volatility based on that of publicly-traded peer companies, and we expect to continue to use this methodology until such time as we have adequate historical data regarding the volatility of our publicly-traded stock price. Also, SFAS 123R requires that we recognize compensation expense for only the portion of options that are expected to vest. Accordingly, we have estimated expected forfeitures of stock options upon the adoption of SFAS 123R based on our historical forfeiture rate and used these rates in developing a future forfeiture rate. If our actual forfeiture rate varies from our historical rates and estimates, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

 

The following table summarizes by grant date the number of stock options granted since the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 through May 31, 2009, the per share exercise price of options, the estimated per share weighted average fair value of options and the per share estimated value of our common stock on each grant date:

 

 

 

Based on the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, the aggregate intrinsic value of our vested outstanding stock options as of March 31, 2009 was $24.6 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of our unvested outstanding stock options as of March 31, 2009 was $13.0 million.

 

Our board of directors has historically estimated the fair value of our common stock, with input from management, as of the date of each stock option grant. Because there has been no public market for our common stock, our board of directors determined the fair value of our common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including:

 

 

Our board of directors considered and applied these and other factors in determining an estimate of the fair value of our common stock on each stock option grant date. Additionally, beginning in August 2006, our board of directors engaged Shields & Company, or Shields, an independent valuation specialist, to prepare third-party independent valuations of our common stock.

 

Shields’ initial valuation report, as described in detail below, was as of July 31, 2006 and was used by our board of directors to estimate the fair value of our common stock as of October 26, 2006, the first option grant date after the initial valuation report. Additionally, the July 31, 2006 valuation report was also initially used to estimate the fair value of our common stock for the January 24, 2007 and April 27, 2007 stock option grants. However, in December 2007 and in connection with our proposed initial public offering, our board of directors undertook a reassessment of the fair value of our common stock as of each option grant date during 2007. As part of that reassessment, our board of directors obtained from Shields retrospective fair market valuation reports for each option grant date during 2007. The retrospective valuations, as described in detail below for each option grant date, have been used to estimate the fair value of our common stock as of each option grant date in 2007 and in calculating stock-based compensation expense.

Stock Option Grants on April 27, 2006

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on April 27, 2006, with each option having an exercise price of $1.25 per share. In order to determine the estimated fair value of our common stock, our board of directors considered the objective and subjective factors listed above with particular emphasis on our size and operating performance, peer group trading multiples, previous per share prices for issuances of our common and convertible preferred stock and the preferences of our convertible preferred stock. Based on these factors, we believe that our estimate of the fair value of our common stock at April 27, 2006, was reasonable.

 

Stock Option Grants on July 20, 2006

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on July 20, 2006, with each option having an exercise price of $1.25 per share. Because there had been no material change in our business, our board of directors maintained its April 27, 2006 estimated fair value of our common stock. Additionally, subsequent to the board meeting, and as described in more detail below, we engaged Shields to complete an independent fair market valuation report. Shields estimated that the fair value of our common stock as of July 31, 2006 was $0.88 per share. Based on our board’s analysis and, supported by the subsequent valuation report from Shields, we believe that the exercise price of the July 20, 2006 options was greater than fair value of our common stock on that date.

 

July 31, 2006 Valuation

 

In August 2006, we engaged Shields to perform a fair market valuation of our common stock as of July 31, 2006. Shields used a probability-weighted expected return methodology and performed the valuation in accordance with the AICPA Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued As Compensation, or the AICPA Practice Aid.

 

Under the probability-weighted expected return method, the fair market value of our common stock was estimated based upon an analysis of our future value assuming various future outcomes. The common stock per share value was based on the probability-weighted present value of expected future values considering each of the possible outcomes, as well as the rights of common and preferred stockholders. The possible outcomes considered in the valuation were a liquidation event in the form of an initial public offering, or an IPO scenario, a sale or merger assuming we continue to experience significant growth, or a growth scenario, a sale or merger assuming we continue to grow but not at a desired rate, but that our intellectual property would separately be of interest to an acquirer, or a technology scenario, our continued operation as a private company in which we have not experienced significant growth, or a private company scenario, and a dissolution of the company. All scenarios utilized assumptions and estimates that were consistent with the operating plans and estimates that we use to manage our business.

 

The IPO scenario utilized trading multiples of revenue of comparable public companies in a similar industry, the application software industry. The trading revenue multiple was then applied to our projected operating results to produce a theoretical terminal value in the event of an IPO. The growth scenario utilized completed sale transactions involving companies in the application software industry. To calculate the theoretical terminal value under the growth scenario, Shields utilized the median multiple of completed sales transactions in the software industry for the one-year period ending July 31, 2006. Many of these completed sales transactions involved more mature, lower growth companies. Accordingly, Shields refined the list of completed sale transactions to include only comparable companies based on our size and growth projections. The resulting multiple was a 20% premium to the median multiple of all completed sale transactions and was used by Shields in determining our theoretical terminal value under the growth scenario. The technology scenario assumed that we still met our short-term projected operating results but could not obtain and attract the high revenue growth multiples beyond our short-term operating results. The private company scenario assumed we continued in operation but did not meet our growth projections. Shields applied a growth rate of 3% to the normalized annual free cash flow to compute the theoretical value under the private company scenario. The dissolution scenario assumed we do not continue in operations and thus the theoretical terminal value is $0.

 

Prior to calculating the value of the common stock in each of the scenarios, the conversion rights of the preferred stockholders were reviewed based on each of the theoretical terminal values. Giving effect to the

1-for-2.5 reverse split of our common stock effected on June 25, 2009, each 2.5 shares of preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock at the option of the preferred stockholder. In the event of a sale, liquidation or dissolution of the company, the preferred stockholders have preference over any common stockholder at an amount equal to the original purchase price per share of preferred stock and have the right to participate with the common stockholder until they receive an amount equal to two times the original purchase price per share of preferred stock. In the event that converting the preferred stock into common stock would yield the preferred stockholder greater than two times the original purchase price per share of preferred stock, the preferred stockholder would elect to convert preferred shares into common shares.

 

The present value of our projected free cash flow is determined by discounting our projected future cash flows back to the valuation date. The discount rate used in the analysis was 50%. To determine this discount rate, Shields constructed a weighted average cost of capital based on our cost of equity and after-tax cost of debt. Shields then weighted those costs based on the debt-to-equity ratio associated with our optimal capital structure, as of the valuation date. Based on these calculations, discussions with management, Shields’ analysis of our projections, and our stage of development as of the valuation date, we and Shields believe a 50% discount rate is appropriate and that our equity holders would require a rate of return similar to that as outlined in the AICPA Practice Aid for venture capital investors. The implied equity value per common share under each scenario was weighted based on estimates of the probability of each of the five scenarios by management, the board of directors and Shields. The resulting value, which represented the estimated fair market value of our common stock at the valuation date, July 31, 2006, was $0.88 per share.

 

Stock Option Grants on October 26, 2006

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on October 26, 2006, with each option having an exercise price of $1.25 per share. Our board of directors reviewed and considered the July 31, 2006 valuation report as well as the objective and subjective factors described previously. Additionally, during the period following the valuation report, there had not been any material changes in our business or operating results. Our operating performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and through October 26, 2006 was consistent with our forecasts and projections used in the valuation report. Accordingly, our board of directors determined that $0.88 represented a reasonable fair value per share of our common stock as of October 26, 2006. Therefore, we believe the exercise price of the October 26, 2006 options was greater than the fair value of the common stock on that date.

 

Stock Option Grants on January 24, 2007

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on January 24, 2007 with each option having an exercise price of $1.25 per share. As previously discussed, in December 2007 our board of directors obtained from Shields a retrospective fair market valuation report as of January 24, 2007. In its retrospective fair market valuation report, Shields considered the valuation methodologies outlined in the AICPA Practice Aid. These methodologies included the current-value method, option-pricing method and the previously utilized probability-weighted expected return method.

 

Shields utilized the option-pricing method for its retrospective valuation because of the significant changes in our operations during 2007. Specifically, in 2007, our financial results improved significantly, including positive cash flow from operations. The option-pricing method is more appropriate than the probability-weighted expected return method once a company’s operations have matured enough to indicate that the company may have unlimited potential liquidity options over the course of its lifecycle, and assumptions of any one particular scenario, as is done in the probability-weighted expected return method, would be highly speculative. Based on the market conditions at the time and our improving operating performance, we began to believe that completing an initial public offering was possible. Additionally, during 2007, there were several arms’ length negotiated transactions involving our common and preferred stock.

 

Shields factored the arm’s length negotiated equity transactions into the retrospective valuations. For the purpose of the valuations, Shields did not utilize these equity transactions as a means of calculating the underlying asset value for the option-pricing model, but used it as a data point to validate the conclusions

derived from the option-pricing model. The per-share purchase price in these arm’s length transactions was a negotiated purchase price, predominantly derived by applying a revenue multiple to our projected results. As a result of the forward-looking methodology utilized by investors, Shields adjusted its analyses by placing more weight on the forward-looking methodologies.

 

Under the option-pricing method, the common stock is priced under the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on an analysis of guideline companies, precedent transactions and discounted cash flow. The option-pricing model is sensitive to the following key assumptions: the underlying asset value, liquidation preferences, volatility, time to liquidity, and the risk-free rate. The underlying-asset value is the market price of the underlying security on which the option is based. Our underlying-asset value was determined by taking a weighted average of the equity values that resulted from the guideline companies, precedent transaction and discounted cash flow analyses. The liquidation preferences are the amounts at which an investor is indifferent between exercising the option or not. Our preferred stockholders have the right to participate with the common stockholders until they receive an amount equal to two times the original purchase price per share of preferred stock. The conversion rights of the preferred stockholders were considered in determining the per share value of our common stock. In analyzing guideline companies in the remote systems software industry, Shields identified eight publicly-traded guideline companies for the purpose of estimating our fair market value as of each valuation date. Of these, Shields determined that one publicly-traded company, Citrix Systems, Inc., or Citrix, is the most comparable to us in that they provide products that are very similar to and are directly competitive with our products, while the other companies identified had more diverse product offerings and did not compete directly with us. As a result, we believe it is appropriate to use Citrix as our representative public company. Accordingly, as of each valuation date our volatility was based on Citrix’s volatility. However, in determining our volatility Shields elected not to base our volatility only on the volatility of Citrix and determined it to be more representative of our volatility to also include other publicly traded guideline companies. Thus, as of each valuation date the volatility of Citrix was increased by ten percentage points to more closely reflect the median volatility of the publicly traded guideline companies. Time to liquidity is an estimated earliest exit date to effect a transaction. For the purpose of these analyses this was based on estimates, from management and our investment bankers, of when an initial public offering might occur. The risk-free rate of return is deemed to be the rate of return on a less risky security. As of each valuation date, the risk-free rate of return was determined by utilizing the return of U.S. treasury notes with maturities consistent with our time to liquidity. These assumptions represent management’s and Shields’ best estimates, but involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment.

 

Under the guideline company analysis, we used the revenue trading multiples of our representative public company. Under the precedent transactions analysis, we identified completed sale transactions of software companies in a similar market to us that were completed in the prior twelve months. Under the discounted cash flow analysis, our equity value is equal to the projected future free cash flows and expected terminal value of the company, adjusted for cash, net of debt.

 

The expected terminal value was calculated by applying the representative public company’s forward looking revenue multiple to our projected future revenue results. The present value of our projected free cash flow is determined by discounting our projected future cash flows back to the valuation date. The discount rate used in the analysis was 35%. In determining the appropriate discount rate, Shields constructed a weighted average cost of capital which determined our cost of equity and after-tax cost of debt, and then weighed those costs based on the debt-to-equity ratio associated with our optimal capital structure, as of each valuation date. Based on these calculations, discussions with management and Shields’ analysis of our projections, Shields believes that our equity holders would require a rate of return similar to a company as outlined in the AICPA Practice Aid’s for venture capital investors based on a company’s stage of development.

 

To calculate our underlying asset value, the equity values of the guideline company, completed sale transaction and discounted cash flow analyses are weighted. The weightings of the methodologies were based on the judgments of Shields. As we were progressing closer to an initial public offering, Shields increased the weight of the methodologies utilizing our projected financial results versus our historical financial results because investors and our investment bankers were determining our anticipated valuation on forward-looking multiples and projections versus historical multiples. In addition, Shields also increased the weighting of the

cash flow based analysis, the discounted cash flow, versus the market based methodologies as we started to generate positive cash flow.

 

For the January 24, 2007 valuation, Shields weighted the methodologies applied to the current financial results at 85% and to the projected financial results at 15%, since as of the January 24, 2007 valuation date we were just beginning to achieve significantly improved financial results. Additionally, for the January 24, 2007 valuation, Shields weighted the various analysis used in the option-pricing method as follows:

 

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock as of January 24, 2007 was $2.73 per common share. Following a review of this retrospective valuation and the objective and subjective factors previously reviewed, our board of directors retrospectively determined that the fair value of our common stock as of January 24, 2007 was $2.73 per share. As a result of this determination, the exercise price of the options granted on January 24, 2007 was less than the fair value of our common stock. Consequently, the fair value of the stock options calculated pursuant to SFAS 123R increased to $1,457,000 from $371,000, and this increased value will be recorded as stock compensation expense over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years.

 

Additionally, certain of the options granted on January 24, 2007 are performance-based options, as defined under SFAS 123R. The performance criteria associated with these options are based upon the successful completion of our initial public offering or other liquidation event at predefined enterprise values. Under SFAS 123R, these performance criteria cannot be considered probable, and compensation expense can only be recorded as an expense upon the achievement of the performance criteria. In the event such criteria are achieved, we will record an expense of approximately $338,000 at the time the criteria are met.

 

Stock Option Grants on April 27, 2007

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on April 27, 2007, with each option having an exercise price of $1.25 per share. Consistent with its January 24, 2007 retrospective valuation report, Shields utilized the same valuation methodologies, updated for our actual results through the quarter ended March 31, 2007 for its retrospective valuation report as of April 27, 2007. The respective valuation methodologies used to calculate the underlying asset value of the company were updated as of the valuation date. Under the completed sales transaction analysis, Shields updated the revenue multiple for the acquisition of WebEx by Cisco Systems, which was announced on March 15, 2007. A portion of WebEx’s business competes directly with us and therefore was relevant to our valuation. The weightings used for historical and projected results and for the various analyses under the option-pricing method were the same as the previous valuation.

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock as of April 27, 2007 was $5.60 per common share, an increase of $2.87 from January 24, 2007. The increase was largely due to an increase in the multiple for completed sales transactions as a result of the WebEx acquisition. Following a review of this retrospective valuation and the objective and subjective factors previously reviewed, our board of directors retrospectively determined that the fair value of our common stock as of April 27, 2007 was $5.60 per share. Thus, the exercise price of the options granted on April 27, 2007 was less than the reassessed fair value of our common stock. Consequently, the fair value of the stock options calculated pursuant to SFAS 123R increased to $476,000 from $58,000. This increased value will be recorded as stock compensation expense over the vesting period of these options, which range from two to four years. In order to mitigate the potential unfavorable tax consequences to individuals holding options granted on April 27, 2007, on April 18, 2008, our board of directors approved a plan to allow the affected option holders to amend the exercise prices of their original options from $1.25 to $5.60 per share. As part of this amendment, we will compensate the affected option holders of 80,000 shares who elected to amend their options for the difference in the exercise price with a cash bonus payment upon the vesting of the respective stock option. The financial impact from the change in the valuation as a result of this amendment is approximately $283,000, of which approximately $209,000 has been recorded as stock compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2008, and approximately

$31,000 has been recorded as stock compensation expense during the three month period ended March 31, 2009. Approximately $43,000 will be recorded over the remaining vesting period of the affected options.

 

Stock Option Grants on August 3, 2007

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on August 3, 2007, with each option having an exercise price of $9.28 per share. Consistent with its previous retrospective valuation reports, Shields utilized the option-pricing method updated for our actual results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and our projected results as of July 17, 2007.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course, and we experienced increases in our number of customers and subscription revenue and orders forecasts, including a potential large transaction with an original equipment manufacturer. We also had preliminary discussions during this period with third parties interested in potentially acquiring the company. While these inquiries were very preliminary, our board of directors considered the various exit scenarios presented by these inquiries. Our board of directors and management began to more seriously consider the possibility of an initial public offering and continued to discuss this scenario with several investment banks. Additionally, three founding employees began discussions to sell up to 19% of their common stock to three of our largest stockholders. During July and August 2007, the three founding employees and five other smaller stockholders, including several non-employee stockholders, sold an aggregate of 719,068 shares of common stock at $9.73 per share and 71,522 shares of preferred stock at $3.89 per share to existing stockholders, representing an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7,271,000.

 

Shields factored the founding employees’ equity transaction into its analyses and retrospective valuation, placing more weight on the forward-looking methodologies because the negotiated purchase price was predominantly derived by applying a revenue multiple to our projected revenues. Our weightings were adjusted to 60% on projected financial results, increased from 15% in the previous valuation, and 40% to current financial results, decreased from 85% in the previous valuation. The weightings used for the guideline company analysis based on historical results were decreased to 10% from 45% while the weighting used for projected results was increased to 15% from 5%. The weighting used for the completed sale transaction analysis based on historical results was decreased to 30% from 40% while the weighting used for projected results was increased to 15% from 5%. Finally, as a result of our improved performance and the founding employees’ equity transaction, the discounted cash flow weighting was increased to 30% from 5%. The expected term was updated to June 2008, from December 2009, based on our more substantive discussions with investment bankers regarding the possibility of an initial public offering or other liquidity event. The respective valuation methodologies used to calculate the underlying asset value of the company were updated as of the valuation date.

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock from the retrospective valuation as of July 17, 2007 was $8.65 per common share, an increase of $3.05 from April 27, 2007. The increase was largely due to the weighting shift to projected financial results from current financial results. Following a review of this retrospective valuation and the objective and subjective factors previously reviewed, our board of directors retrospectively determined that the fair value of our common stock as of July 17, 2007 was $8.62 per share. As a result of this determination, the exercise price of the options granted on August 3, 2007 was greater than the fair market value of our common stock for accounting purposes. Consequently, the fair value of the stock options calculated pursuant to SFAS 123R decreased slightly to $459,000 from $490,000, and this decreased value will be recorded as stock compensation expense over the vesting period of the options, which is generally four years.

 

Stock Option Grants on November 5, 2007

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on November 5, 2007, with each option having an exercise price of $9.65 per share.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course. We continued to expend resources on developing new services and on marketing to attract additional

customers. Management and our board of directors continued to discuss a potential initial public offering, and we initiated steps to file our registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Shields prepared a contemporaneous valuation as of September 30, 2007 using the option-pricing method as described above. In the analysis our actual and projected financial results were updated based on our actual results through the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The respective valuation methodologies used to calculate the underlying asset value of the company were updated as of the valuation date. The weightings used for historical and projected results and for the various analyses under the option-pricing method were the same as the previous valuation. The resulting fair value of our common stock as of September 30, 2007 was $9.65 per common share, an increase of $1.00 from July 17, 2007. The increase was largely due to our increased operating results in the prior twelve months and increases in the representative public company’s revenue trading multiple.

 

During the period from September 30, 2007 to November 5, 2007, we continued to operate our business in the normal course and continued to make progress in our potential initial public offering. On November 5, 2007, our board of directors reviewed the September 30, 2007 valuation report, our operating results since the date of the valuation report and our progress regarding our proposed initial public offering, and determined that the fair value of our common stock as of November 5, 2007 was $9.65 per share.

 

Stock Option Grants on November 21, 2007

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on November 21, 2007, with each option having an exercise price of $9.65 per share. From November 5, 2007 to November 21, 2007, we continued to operate our business in the normal course. There was no material change in our business operations or projected financials results. There was no trading in our common or preferred stock, however, on November 21, 2007 our board of directors and stockholders increased the number of shares of common stock available for option grants by 760,000 shares. In determining the fair value per share of our common stock, our board of directors again reviewed the valuation report as of September 30, 2007, which had estimated the fair value of common stock at $9.65 per share. Also, subsequent to the November 21, 2007 board meeting, and in connection with our filing of a registration statement on January 11, 2008, our board of directors obtained a retrospective valuation report from Shields as of November 21, 2007.

 

Shields utilized the option-pricing method for its retrospective valuation. In the analysis, our actual and projected financial results were updated based on our actual results through October 31, 2007. The weightings used for historical and projected results and for the various analyses under the option-pricing method were the same as the previous valuation. The resulting fair value of our common stock as of November 21, 2007 was $9.35 per common share, a decrease of $0.30 from the previous valuation report. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the revenue multiple of our representative company, a decrease in our estimated volatility and a reduction in our estimated time to liquidity. The reduction in revenue multiple and estimated volatility was due to a decrease in our representative company’s actual stock price and volatility since the previous valuation report. The reduction in our estimated time to liquidity was due to the passage of time since the previous valuation report and not a change in the estimated date of a liquidity event. Additionally, our per share enterprise value decreased due to an increase of 760,000 shares of common stock associated with an increase in the shares of common stock approved under our 2007 stock incentive plan, which at the time we intended to grant prior to the estimated date of a liquidity event in the valuation report. Following a review of this valuation report and the objective and subjective factors previously reviewed, our board of directors determined that the fair value of our common stock as of November 21, 2007 was $9.35 per share. As a result of this determination, the exercise price of the options granted on November 21, 2007, $9.65, was greater than the fair value of our common stock.

 

Stock Option Grants on January 17, 2008

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on January 17, 2008, with each option having an exercise price of $10.75 per share. During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, and through January 17, 2008, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course. Both the number of our customers and our

subscription revenue continued to grow, but we continued to operate at a loss. Additionally in December 2007, we entered into a strategic multi-year service and marketing agreement with Intel Corporation. In conjunction with this agreement, Intel Capital purchased 2,222,223 shares of our series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock for $10 million, or $4.50 per share. The terms and preferences of our series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock are similar to the terms and preferences of our series B preferred stock. The preferences of the series B-1 were included in our updated valuation analysis.

 

Shields prepared a contemporaneous valuation as of January 14, 2008 using the option-pricing method. In the analysis our actual and projected financial results were updated based on our actual results through the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. The discount rate was decreased to 20% from the 30% used in the September 30, 2007 valuation because of our continued improved financial performance, the completion of the $10 million preferred investment by Intel Capital and the successful filing of our registration statement. The weightings used for historical and projected results and for the various analyses under the option-pricing method were the same as the previous valuation. The resulting fair value of our common stock as of January 14, 2008 was $10.75 per common share, an increase of $1.40 per share from November 21, 2007. The increase was largely due to the reduction in the discount rate due to the Intel Capital investment and the successful filing of our registration statement. Following a review of this valuation report and the objective and subjective factors previously listed, our board of directors determined that the fair value of our common stock as of January 17, 2008 was $10.75 per share.

 

Stock Option Grants on April 18, 2008

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on April 18, 2008, each with an exercise price of $11.40 per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and through the period ended April 18, 2008, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course. The number of our customers and our subscription revenue continued to grow. However, we continued to operate at a loss during these periods, and we were not cash flow positive. There was no trading of our common or preferred stock during these periods.

 

Shields prepared a contemporaneous valuation as of April 17, 2008 using the same option-pricing method employed in the previous valuation. The weightings and discount rate used in the analysis were consistent with the previous valuation. Our actual and projected financials results were updated based on our actual results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and our projections as of April 17, 2008, which resulted in an increase in both our last twelve months revenue and projected fiscal year 2008 revenue when compared to the previous valuation report. Our estimated time to liquidity was increased to October 2008 from July 2008 and our representative company’s revenue multiple was updated to reflect the decrease in the stock market from the previous valuation report.

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock as of April 17, 2008 was $11.23 per common share, an increase of $0.48 per share from January 17, 2008. The increase was largely due to an increase in our actual last twelve months and projected fiscal year 2008 revenue offset by a decrease in external revenue multiples. Following a review of this valuation report and the objective and subjective factors previously listed, our board of directors determined that the fair value of our common stock as of April 18, 2008 was $11.23 per share, which was less than the exercise price of the options, $11.40 granted on April 18, 2008.

 

Stock Option Grants on July 17, 2008

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on July 17, 2008, with each option having an exercise price of $11.40 per share. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, and through the period ended July 17, 2008, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course. Both the number of our customers and our subscription revenue continued to grow. We continued to operate at a loss but achieved positive cash flow from operations. There was no trading of any our common or preferred stock during these periods.

 

Shields prepared a contemporaneous valuation as of July 17, 2008 using the option-pricing method, consistent with its previous valuation reports. The weightings and discount rate used in the analysis were consistent with previous valuations. Our actual and projected financials results were updated based on our actual results for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 and our projections as of July 17, 2008, which, when compared to the previous valuation report resulted in an increase in both our last twelve months revenue

and a slight increase in our projected fiscal year 2008 revenue. Our estimated time to liquidity continued to be estimated at October 2008. Our representative company’s stock volatility and revenue multiple was updated to reflect the increased volatility and decreased value of the stock market from the previous valuation report.

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock as of July 17, 2008 was $11.25 per common share, an increase of $0.02 per share from April 17, 2008. The slight increase was largely due to increase in our actual last twelve months and projected fiscal year 2008 revenue offset by a decrease in external revenue multiples. Following a review of this valuation report and the objective and subjective factors previously listed our board of directors determined that the fair value of our common stock as of July 17, 2008 was $11.25 per share, which was less than the exercise price of the options, $11.40, granted on July 17, 2008.

 

Stock Option Grants on October 23, 2008

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on October 23, 2008, with each option having an exercise price of $11.78 per share. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and through the period ended October 23, 2008, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course. Both the number of our customers and our subscription revenue continued to grow. We completed the development work associated with our service and marketing agreement with Intel Corporation and recognized revenue related to that agreement during this period. We achieved positive net income during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and generated positive cash flow for the quarter. There was no trading of any our common or preferred stock during the period.

 

Shields prepared a contemporaneous valuation as of October 20, 2008 using the option-pricing method, with weightings and a discount rate consistent with its previous valuations. Our actual financial results used by Shields were updated based on our results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, which reflected the continued increase in our revenues through the quarter ended September 30, 2008. We updated our projected financial results based on our preliminary budget for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Additionally, our estimated time to liquidity was extended from October 2008 to September 2009 due largely to stock market conditions. Our representative company’s revenue multiple was decreased to reflect the decrease in the stock market from the previous valuation report and to reflect that our projected financial results were based on fiscal year 2009 projections. The precedent transaction analysis multiples were also updated and decreased slightly, largely driven by precedent transaction trends due to current market conditions, since the last valuation report.

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock as of October 20, 2008 was $11.78 per common share, an increase of $0.53 per share from July 17, 2008. The increase was largely due to an increase in our actual revenue in the last twelve months and the use of our projected fiscal year 2009 revenue, offset by a decrease in external revenue multiples and precedent transactions multiples. Following a review of this valuation report and the objective and subjective factors previously listed, our board of directors determined that the fair value of our common stock as of October 23, 2008 was $11.78 per share.

 

Stock Option Grants on February 5, 2009

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on February 5, 2009, with each option having an exercise price of $10.08 per share. During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and through the period ended February 5, 2009, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course. Both the number of our customers and our subscription revenue continued to grow. We achieved positive net income during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and generated positive cash flow for the quarter. There was no trading of any our common or preferred stock during the period.

 

Shields prepared a contemporaneous valuation as of February 4, 2009 using the option-pricing method, consistent with its previous valuation reports. The weightings used in the analysis were consistent with the previous valuation. The discount rate used in the discounted cash flow valuation was decreased from 20% to 15% to reflect our updated financial performance in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Our actual financial results were updated based on our results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008. This resulted in an increase in our last twelve months revenue from our previous valuation report since our revenue continued to increase in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Our projected financial results were

updated based on our budget for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Our estimated time to liquidity was increased from September 2009 to March 2010 due largely to stock market conditions existing at the time of the valuation. Our representative company revenue multiple was decreased to reflect the decrease in the stock market from the previous valuation report. Additionally, the precedent transaction analysis multiples were also updated to reflect transactions completed since the last valuation report and decreased, largely to reflect the decrease in the stock market, since the last valuation report.

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock as of February 4, 2009 was $10.08 per common share, a decrease of $1.70 per share from October 20, 2008. The decrease was largely due to decreases in our representative company revenue multiple and precedent transaction multiples since the last valuation report due to decreases in the general stock market offset in part by an increase in our actual revenue in the last twelve months and our projected financial results. Following a review of this valuation report and the objective and subjective factors previously listed, our board of directors determined that the fair value of our common stock as of February 5, 2009 was $10.08 per share.

 

Stock Option Grants on May 7, 2009

 

Our board of directors granted stock options on May 7, 2009, with each option having an exercise price of $12.10 per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and through the period ended May 7, 2009, we continued to operate our business in the ordinary course. Both the number of our customers and our subscription revenue continued to grow. We achieved positive net income during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and generated positive cash flow for the quarter. There was no trading of any our common or preferred stock during the period.

 

Shields prepared a contemporaneous valuation as of May 7, 2009 using the option-pricing method, consistent with its previous valuation reports. The weightings and discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis were consistent with the previous valuation. Our actual financial results were updated based on our results for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This resulted in an increase in our last twelve months revenue from our previous valuation report since our revenue continued to increase in the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Our projected financial results were updated for our actual results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and based upon our updated financial forecast. This resulted in a slight increase of our projected revenue and positive cash flow from our previous valuation report. Our estimated time to liquidity was consistent at March 2010 due largely to stock market conditions with regards to the initial public offering market existing at the time of the valuation. Our representative company revenue multiple was increased to reflect the increase in its stock market valuation from the previous valuation report. Additionally, the precedent transaction analysis multiples were updated to reflect transactions completed since the last valuation report and remained consistent since the last valuation report. Also, during the period since the last valuation report to May 7, 2009, we, in conjunction with one of our preferred shareholders, explored the sale of a minority interest in the Company to provide liquidity to the preferred shareholder. Shields took note of the non-binding offers in preparing its valuation report but due to the fact that the non-binding offers were non-binding, and based mainly on public information and brief meetings with management determined that, although interesting to note, the non-binding offers received from third parties were not a useful indication of our value.

 

The resulting fair value of our common stock as of May 7, 2009 was $12.10 per common share, an increase of $2.02 per share or 20% from February 4, 2009. The increase was largely due to increases in our representative company revenue multiple since the last valuation report due to increases in the general stock market and increases in our actual revenue in the last twelve months and our projected financial results. Following a review of this valuation report and the objective and subjective factors previously listed, our board of directors determined that the fair value of our common stock as of May 7, 2009 was $12.10 per share.

 

On June 8, 2009, we and the underwriters for this offering determined the estimated price range for this offering. The midpoint of the estimated price range, which was $15.00, represented an increase of $2.90, or approximately 24%, as compared to our board of directors’ determination of fair value per common share on

May 7, 2009 of $12.10; the $14.00 low end of the estimated price range represented an increase of $1.90, or approximately 16%. The increase was primarily the result of the following factors:
