TELENAV, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
Summary of business and significant accounting policies
Description of business
Telenav, Inc., also referred to in this report as “we,” “our” or “us,” was incorporated in September 1999 in the State of Delaware. We are a leader in personalized mobile navigation. We help on the go people by creating products that (1) provide easily-accessed, relevant, and personalized information for discovery, traffic, local search, and navigation and (2) are available across multiple platforms and devices, including mobile phones, tablets, computers and cars. We operate in a single segment. Our fiscal year ends on June 30 and in this report we refer to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 as “fiscal 2013” and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 as “fiscal 2014.”
Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Telenav, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that our management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation for comparative purposes.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements also include the financial results of Shanghai Jitu Software Development Ltd., or Jitu, located in China. Based on our contractual arrangements with the shareholders of Jitu, we have determined that Jitu is a variable interest entity, or VIE, for which we are the primary beneficiary and are required to consolidate in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, subtopic 810-10, or ASC 810-10, Consolidation: Overall. Despite our lack of legal ownership, there exists a parent-subsidiary relationship between Telenav, Inc. and Jitu, whereby through contractual arrangement, the equity holders of Jitu have effectively assigned all of their voting rights underlying their equity interest in Jitu to us. In addition, through these agreements, we have the ability and intention to absorb all of the expected losses and profits of Jitu. The results of Jitu did not have a material impact on our overall operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for fiscal 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2013 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Form 10-K.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by us include the determination of revenue recognition and deferred revenue, the recoverability of accounts receivable, the determination of acquired intangibles and goodwill, the fair value of stock awards issued, the determination of income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of risk and significant customers
Revenue related to services provided through Ford Motor Company, or Ford, comprised 50% and 46% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 45% and 34% of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, receivables due from Ford were 40% and 45% of total accounts receivable, respectively. Revenue related to services provided through AT&T Mobility LLC, or AT&T, comprised 25% and 23% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 25% and 30% of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Receivables due from AT&T were 31% and 23% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Revenue related to services provided through Sprint Nextel Corporation, or Sprint, comprised 2% and 15% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013,

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

respectively, and 7% and 17% of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No other customer represented 10% of our revenue or 10% of our accounts receivable for any period presented.
Our map and points of interest, or POI, data have been provided principally by TomTom North America, Inc., or TomTom, and HERE North America, LLC, or HERE, a Nokia company, in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. To date, we are not aware of circumstances that may impair either party’s intent or ability to continue providing such services to us.
Restricted cash
As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we had restricted cash of $6.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2014, restricted cash is comprised primarily of a $6.0 million overpayment from a customer that will be refunded. In January 2014, the $2.7 million of restricted cash previously held in escrow related to our acquisition of Thinknear was paid to Thinknear stockholders.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of related taxes, during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, were as follows (in thousands):
 
 
Foreign Currency
Translation
Adjustments
 
Unrealized
Gains (Losses) on
Available-for-Sale
Securities

Balance, net of tax as of June 30, 2013

The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, was determined using the specific identification method and the amount was included in other income (expense), net, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

The amount of income tax benefit allocated to each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was not material for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.
Long-term investments

As of March 31, 2014, our investments in privately-held companies were $1.8 million. These investments are accounted for as cost-basis investments, as we own less than 20% of the voting securities and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entities. Our investments are in entities that are not publicly traded and, therefore, no established market for the securities exists. Our cost-method investments are carried at historical cost in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when indicators of impairment exist. If we believe that the carrying value of the cost basis investments is in excess of estimated fair value, our policy is to record an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value to estimated fair value, when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary. We regularly evaluate the carrying value of these cost-method investments for impairment. We recorded a $0.3 million impairment charge for one cost-method investment during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014. We did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Included in other income (expense), net in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 is a $0.8 million gain from the sale in December 2013 of an investment in a privately-held company.

TELENAV, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or, FASB, issued amended guidance on how to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2013 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 13-C, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” which concludes an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law.  We will adopt this amendment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.  The result of adoption may be to reclassify certain long term liabilities for uncertain income tax positions to reduce the carrying value of long term deferred tax assets. However, the adoption is not expected to result in a material change to the tax provision.  We do not believe that the impact on our consolidated financial statements will be significant.

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and restricted common stock using the treasury-stock method.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid fixed-income investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase, including money market funds. Short-term investments consist of readily marketable securities with a remaining maturity of more than three months from the date of purchase. We classify all of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as “available for sale,” as these investments are free of trading restrictions. These marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses are recognized when realized. When we have determined that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline that is related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. We had no material realized gains or losses in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Declines in fair value judged to be other-than-temporary on securities available for sale are included as a component of other income, net. In order to determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, we evaluate, among other factors: the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value and our intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair market value. As of March 31, 2014, we did not consider any of our investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Fair value of financial instruments
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. We have established a hierarchy, which consists of three levels, for disclosure of the inputs used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments.
Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 valuations are based on inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Such inputs used in determining fair value for Level 2 valuations include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Where applicable, we use quoted prices in active markets for similar assets to determine fair value of Level 2 short-term investments. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available to determine fair value, we use quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. If quoted prices for identical or similar assets are not available, we use third party valuations utilizing underlying assets assumptions.

Level 3 valuations are based on information that is unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. All of our cash equivalents and short-term investments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2.

Contingencies
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. When we believe a loss or a cost of indemnification is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we accrue the estimated loss or cost of indemnification in our consolidated financial statements. Where the outcome of these matters is not determinable, we do not make a provision in our financial statements until the loss or cost of indemnification, if any, is probable and can be reasonably estimated or the outcome becomes known. We expense legal fees related to these matters as they are incurred.
On December 31, 2009, Vehicle IP, LLC, or Vehicle IP, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, seeking monetary damages, fees and expenses and other relief. Verizon Wireless was named as a co-defendant in the Vehicle IP litigation based on the VZ Navigator product and has demanded that we indemnify and defend Verizon against Vehicle IP. At this time, we have not agreed to defend or indemnify Verizon. AT&T was also named as a co-defendant in the Vehicle IP litigation based on the AT&T Navigator and Telenav Track products. AT&T has tendered the defense of the litigation to us and we are defending the case on behalf of AT&T. After the Court issued its claim construction ruling the parties agreed to focus on early summary judgment motions, and asked the Court to postpone the rest of the case schedule pending the resolution of these potentially case-dispositive motions. The defendants filed motions for summary judgment of noninfringement. On April 10, 2013 the Court granted AT&T and our motion for summary judgment of noninfringement. While the Court's ruling appears to be dispositive of plaintiff's claims, plaintiff is appealing the district court's claim construction and summary judgment ruling. The appeal is currently ongoing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; the oral argument was held on April 10, 2014. Due to the uncertainties related to litigation, we are unable to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur a loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of any possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the effects of this lawsuit on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On April 30, 2010, Traffic Information, LLC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, seeking monetary damages, fees and expenses, and other relief. The patent at issue was subject to reexamination by the PTO and the reexamined claims were found invalid. Plaintiff appealed this finding and on May 30, 2013, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, or PTAB, confirmed the invalidity of these claims. Plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration of this decision with the PTAB, which was denied on January 13, 2014. Plaintiff has indicated its intent to appeal this finding. In light of the reexamination and plaintiff's appeal of the reexamination findings, the Court stayed the case and the case will remain stayed and administratively closed unless the patentee obtains a favorable decision on appeal before the PTAB or Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. On March 12, 2014, Traffic Information filed an appeal with the U.S. Appeals Court for the Federal Circuit. Due to the preliminary status of the lawsuit and uncertainties related to litigation, we are unable to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur a loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of any possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the effects of this complaint on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

TELENAV, INC.

On November 22, 2013, Bay Area Surgical Group, Inc., Knowles Surgery Center, LLC, National Ambulatory Surgery Center, LLC, Los Altos Surgery Center, LP, Forest Ambulatory Surgical Associates, LP, and SOAR Surgery Center, LLC filed a lawsuit against Aetna Life Insurance Company and approximately 300 Aetna health plan sponsors, including Telenav, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that Aetna and the co-defendants failed to properly pay benefits and administer claims and provide the requested documents mandated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). On March 6, 2014 the Court dismissed without prejudice all causes of action against Telenav, Inc. and the Telenav Health and Welfare Plan.

In addition, we have received, and expect to continue to receive, demands for indemnification from our wireless carrier and other customers, which demands can be very expensive to settle or defend, and we have in the past offered to contribute to settlement amounts and incurred legal fees in connection with certain of these indemnity demands. A number of these indemnity demands, including demands relating to pending litigation, remain outstanding and unresolved as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Furthermore, in response to these demands we may be required to assume control of and bear all costs associated with the defense of our customers in compliance with our contractual commitments. At this time, we are not a party to the following cases; however our customers have requested that we indemnify them in connection with such cases:
In 2008, Alltel, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile USA, or T-Mobile, each demanded that we indemnify and defend them against patent infringement lawsuits brought by patent holding companies EMSAT Advanced Geo-Location Technology LLC and Location Based Services LLC (collectively, “EMSAT”) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. After T-Mobile also sought indemnification and defense from Google, Inc., Google intervened in the T-Mobile litigation. After claim construction and related motion practice, EMSAT agreed to dismiss all claims against Google in the T-Mobile suit, and in March 2011, EMSAT and AT&T settled their claims. By March 2011, all the EMSAT cases were either dismissed or stayed while the PTO completed its reexamination of the validity of the patents at issue. The PTO has concluded its reexamination of two of the patents in suit, confirming the validity of only two of the asserted claims from those patents. At this time, all patent claims that EMSAT alleged to be infringed by the Telenav GPS Navigator product have been cancelled during reexamination. EMSAT agreed to dismiss its allegations relating to the patent claims that were cancelled during reexamination. Accordingly, the Court has lifted the stays in the suits against T-Mobile, Alltel and Sprint. Due to uncertainties related to litigation, we are unable to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome. We have arbitrated with and compensated one carrier for our defense obligations, without a negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We have not yet determined the extent of our indemnification and defense obligations to the other wireless carriers. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur additional loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of other possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the overall effects of these cases on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2009, AT&T demanded that we indemnify and defend them against a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Tendler Cellular of Texas LLC, or Tendler, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In June 2010, AT&T settled its claims with Tendler and we came to an agreement with AT&T as to the extent of our contribution towards AT&T's settlement and the amount of our contribution was not material; however, there continues to be a disagreement as to whether any additional amounts are owed to AT&T for legal fees and expenses related to the defense of the matter. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur additional loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of other possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the overall effects on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
6.Guarantees and indemnifications
Our agreements with our customers generally include certain provisions for indemnifying them against liabilities if our products and services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights or for other specified matters. We have in the past received indemnification requests or notices of their intent to seek indemnification in the future from our customers with respect to specific litigation claims in which our customers have been named as defendants. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited.
We have agreed to indemnify our directors, officers and certain other employees for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while such persons are or were serving at our request in such capacity. We may terminate the indemnification agreements with these persons upon the termination of their services with us, but termination will not affect claims for indemnification related to events occurring prior to the effective date of termination. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. We have a directors and officers insurance policy that limits our potential exposure. We believe that any financial exposure related to these indemnification agreements is not material.

We use valuation pricing models to determine the fair value of stock-based awards. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The weighted average assumptions used to value stock option awards granted were as follows:

Stock repurchase program
On March 18, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of our shares of common stock through open market purchases. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions under this program depends on market conditions and other considerations. Under this program, we utilized $7.9 million of cash to repurchase 1,268,658 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $6.23 per share during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, we had completed this program.
The repurchased shares are retired and designated as authorized but unissued shares. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions under our stock repurchase program depend on market conditions and other considerations. We use the par value method of accounting for our stock repurchases. Under the par value method, common stock is first charged with the par value of the shares involved. The excess of the cost of shares acquired over the par value is allocated to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”), based on an estimated average sales price per issued share with the excess amounts charged to retained earnings. As a result of our stock repurchases during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we reduced common stock and APIC by an aggregate of $4.1 million and charged $3.8 million to retained earnings.
9.
Income taxes
The effective tax rate for the periods presented is the result of the mix of forecasted fiscal year income earned or loss incurred in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rates. Our effective tax rate, excluding discontinued operations, was 35% and 25% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our effective tax rate, excluding discontinued operations, of 35% which resulted in the recognition of a tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was the same as the tax benefit computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to nondeductible stock compensation and nondeductible expenses offset by exempt interest income and research and development credits, and true ups.  Our effective tax rate, excluding discontinued operations, of 25% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was lower than the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to the extension of the R&D credit offset by nondeductible stock compensation and discrete tax benefits of $1.0 million as a result of changes in intercompany arrangements and $0.8 million related to the retroactive effect of the R&D credit extension.

TELENAV, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

We record liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertain tax positions. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, our cumulative unrecognized tax benefits were $6.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $5.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes. We had accrued $434,000 and $314,000 for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, California and various states and foreign tax jurisdictions in which we have subsidiaries. The statute of limitations remains open for fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2013 in the U.S., for fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2013 in state jurisdictions, and for fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2013 in foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years outside the normal statute of limitation remain open to audit by tax authorities due to tax attributes generated in those early years which have been carried forward and may be audited in subsequent years when utilized.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that it is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets each quarter, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including current and previous operating results, ability to carryback losses for a tax refund, and forecasts of future operating results.
Based on the information available at March 31, 2014, our conclusion is that most of our US and a portion of our state deferred tax assets are realizable. We continue to monitor and evaluate the realizability on a quarterly basis.  If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will be realized we may record additional valuation allowance at that time. Our valuation allowance at June 30, 2013 was $2.9 million which was primarily attributable to California and foreign deferred tax assets.
On December 31, 2013, the research and development credit expired for federal tax purposes. The 2012 Taxpayer Relief Act extended the research and development credit for two years until December 31, 2013. Although the research and development credit has been extended every year since enactment, a tax benefit cannot be recorded for the expired period until the tax extenders bill, or the bill, has been enacted. If and when the bill is enacted, a retroactive tax benefit will be recorded in the period of enactment. We have recorded a tax benefit for the federal research and development credit for the six months ended December 31, 2013.
10. Acquisitions
skobbler GmbH
On January 29, 2014, we completed our acquisition of all of the shares of privately held skobbler GmbH, or skobbler, a navigation company based in Germany. We acquired skobbler for consideration of approximately $23.8 million, consisting of approximately $19.2 million in cash and $4.6 million in shares of our common stock. We believe the acquisition of skobbler will enable us to combine its OpenStreetMap (OSM)-based GPS navigation technology with our existing mobile navigation solutions. The transaction has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. We recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value, with the difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired and the purchase consideration reflected as goodwill.
The total purchase consideration of $23.8 million was comprised of $19.2 million in cash and 731,623 shares of our common stock valued at $4.6 million. The 731,623 shares of our common stock are held in escrow and will be released at the rate of 50% per year on each anniversary date of closing. These shares are released from escrow solely with the passage of time and do not contain a service or performance requirement. In addition to the total purchase consideration, we issued 634,920 RSUs to the founders of skobbler. The fair value of the 634,920 RSUs issued in connection with the acquisition was $4.0 million, which is being accounted for as post-combination stock-based compensation and is being amortized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.
The fair value of our common stock issued in connection with the acquisition was determined to be $6.32 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the acquisition measurement date, which is the date the acquisition closed.

We determined the fair value of developed technology and customer relationships to be $7.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The fair value of the developed technology and customer relationships is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of 7.0 years and 18 months, respectively. Developed technology and customer relationships are included in goodwill and intangible assets, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheets. We have recorded amortization expense of $213,000 related to developed technology and customer relationships for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014.
As of March 31, 2014, expected amortization expense relating to acquisition-related intangible assets for each of the next five years and thereafter was as follows (in thousands):

Goodwill of $16.9 million was recorded as the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired. This asset is attributed to buyer-specific value resulting from synergies that are not included in the fair value of assets. No goodwill was deemed to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Included in the purchase consideration is $3.7 million in cash that was paid by us and deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in acquisition related costs that were included in general and administrative expenses. The amounts of revenue and income from skobbler for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 were not material.
Thinknear
On October 10, 2012, we completed our acquisition of privately held Thinknear, a California-based hyper-local mobile advertising company. We acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Thinknear for consideration of approximately $22.5 million, consisting of approximately $18.4 million in cash, plus restricted shares of our common stock and assumed stock options. The acquisition of Thinknear has enabled us to combine its location ad targeting technology with our existing advertising solution to create a new mobile local advertising platform. The transaction has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.
We recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value, with the difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired and the purchase consideration reflected as goodwill.

TELENAV, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The total purchase consideration of $18.4 million was comprised of cash. In addition to cash, we issued 586,580 shares of restricted common stock and assumed options to acquire 74,491 shares (on an as-converted basis) of our common stock. The fair value of the restricted shares and assumed options issued in connection with the acquisition was $4.1 million, which is being accounted for as post-combination stock-based compensation. The $3.6 million fair value of the restricted shares and the $457,000 fair value of the assumed options will be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.78 years and 2.82 years, respectively.
The fair value of our common stock issued in connection with the acquisition was determined to be $6.23 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the acquisition measurement date, which is the date the acquisition closed. The weighted average fair value of the assumed stock options to purchase 74,491 shares of our common stock was $6.13 per share based on the Black-Scholes fair value on the acquisition measurement date.

We determined the fair value of developed technology to be $5.1 million, which is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of three years. Developed technology is included in goodwill and intangible assets, net of amortization on the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill of $14.3 million was recorded as the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired. This asset is attributed to buyer-specific value resulting from synergies that are not included in the fair value of assets. No goodwill was deemed to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Included in the purchase consideration of $18.4 million is $2.7 million in cash that was withheld and deposited in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims. In January 2014, the $2.7 million held in escrow was paid to Thinknear stockholders.
11. Sale of enterprise business
On April 16, 2013, we completed the sale of our enterprise business to FleetCor Technologies Operating Company, LLC, or FleetCor, for $10.0 million in cash. In connection with the completion of the transaction, 50 of our employees became employees of FleetCor.
We entered an asset purchase agreement with FleetCor on March 12, 2013, which was amended and restated on April 16, 2013. The amended and restated asset purchase agreement, or the Agreement, included customary representations, warranties and covenants, including a license permitting FleetCor to utilize certain of our intellectual property. Upon closing, $1.3 million of the purchase price was held back by FleetCor and will be maintained for a period of twelve months to satisfy any amounts owed by us to FleetCor pursuant to our obligations under the Agreement, including indemnification provisions. As of March 31, 2014, $1.3 million was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our balance sheet. We received payment of the $1.3 million in May 2014.
In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which we expect to continue to support certain aspects of the enterprise business while that business is transitioned to FleetCor, and a noncompetition agreement, pursuant to which we agreed not to compete with FleetCor in certain business areas related to the enterprise business for three years. The amounts of income from the transition services agreement for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 were not material.
Our continuing involvement through the transition services agreement with FleetCor was determined to be insignificant. Accordingly, the results of operations of our enterprise business have been classified as discontinued operations in our statement of income for all periods presented through fiscal 2013.
We recorded a gain of $6.5 million on the sale of our enterprise business, net of tax, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

12. Subsequent events

In April 2014, in connection with a consolidation of our facilities, we announced the expected closure of our Boston office by June 30, 2014. In addition, we anticipate completing the consolidation of our Sunnyvale headquarters facilities from two buildings into one during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. We expect to record costs of approximately $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 related to the facilities consolidation and severance and benefits for the positions eliminated.

Overview

Telenav is a leading provider of mobile navigation services and location based advertising services, and the worldwide leader delivering Open Street Map solutions. We deliver our navigation services in connected vehicles to auto manufacturers and through mobile devices to consumers to help people make smarter decisions about where to go, how to get there and what to do. Our Thinknear location based advertising services platform delivers highly targeted advertising for national brands and small business at locations that drive consumer behavior to the advertisers' goals.

We are a leader in personalized mobile navigation. We help on the go people by creating products that (1) provide easily-accessed, relevant, and personalized information for discovery, traffic, maps, local search, and navigation and (2) are available across multiple platforms and devices, including mobile phones, tablets, computers and cars. With millions of users able to access Telenav services while on the go today, we believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on growing location services market opportunities, especially as related to connected cars and mobile advertising.

We offer our mobile navigation services to customers in a number of ways. We distribute our services through our wireless carrier partners, including AT&T Mobility LLC, or AT&T, and directly to consumers through mobile application stores and marketplaces. Generally, we provide our basic services to consumers for free and provide consumers the opportunity to purchase premium versions of the product. We refer to the free to premium distribution as the “freemium” model of distribution. Our free products are designed to be monetized through delivery of advertising to consumers. Our success with the freemium model depends upon our ability to generate a substantial active user base as well as the ability to generate revenue from advertising and conversion of users from free to premium services.
We offer our automotive navigation services to auto manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, for distribution with their vehicles. Our primary customer to date, Ford Motor Company, or Ford, currently distributes our product as an optional feature with the majority of its models in the U.S. Our product is now included on models manufactured in the U.S., Mexico, South America and China. We also have a relationship with another automotive OEM that distributes our products with another major auto manufacturer and in January 2014 we announced an agreement with a top five worldwide auto manufacturer for integration of our off-board and connected solutions in its vehicles, which we expect to commence in model year 2017. Our automotive solutions are typically a self-contained solution including software and related services and content within the car, or on-board, and are often enhanced through connection to data services for additional real time capabilities such as traffic. Our history as a cloud based supplier of navigation services provides a unique advantage in the marketplace over our competitors.

19



Our mobile advertising network offers advertisers significant audience reach, sophisticated targeting capabilities and the ability to deliver interactive and engaging ad experiences to consumers on their mobile devices. We are experts in location-based advertising and offer unique value to brick-and-mortar and brand advertisers with our location targeting capabilities. Our technology focuses on managing the complexity and scale associated with mobile location data to deliver better mobile campaigns for our brand and agency partners. We deliver mobile advertisements by leveraging our proprietary in-house ad serving technology. Our inventory, or accessible market, is comprised of thousands of mobile applications and mobile websites that are accessed through programmatic real-time bidding, or RTB, tools. In March 2014, our platform had access to over 75 billion potential ad impressions.

We derive revenue from wireless carriers and end users, automobile manufacturers and OEMs, and mobile advertisers and advertising agencies. We primarily derive our revenue from automobile manufacturers whose vehicles contain our proprietary software and are able to access our personalized navigation services. We also derive revenue from our partnerships with wireless carriers who sell our mobile navigation services to their subscribers. In addition, we have a growing business in mobile advertising where our customers are primarily advertising agencies that represent national and regional brands and channel partners that work closely with local and small business advertisers.

We generate revenue from the delivery of customized software and royalties from the distribution of customized software in automotive navigation applications. For example, Ford utilizes our on-board automotive navigation product in its Ford SYNC platform, which includes MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch. Ford began shipping this product in certain North American vehicles with the 2011 model year, and our navigation solution is currently deployed in 16 different Ford and Lincoln models in North America. Ford and Lincoln models with our on-board automotive navigation product began shipping to South America with the 2012 model year and China with the 2013 model year. Our automobile manufacturer and OEM customers pay us a royalty fee as the software is reproduced for installation in vehicles with our automotive navigation solutions.

We generate revenue from mobile navigation services through service subscriptions. End users with subscriptions for our services are generally billed for our services through their wireless carrier or through mobile application stores and marketplaces. Our wireless carrier customers pay us based on several different revenue models, including (1) a revenue sharing arrangement that may include a minimum fee per end user, (2) a monthly or annual subscription fee per end user, or (3) based on usage.

We generate revenue from advertising network services through the delivery of search and display advertising impressions based on the specific terms of the advertising contract.

Historically, our write-offs for uncollectible accounts have not been significant. However, as we generate more of our revenue from advertising services, we believe the risk profile of our customers is changing. We believe that certain of our advertising customers, who are often not as well capitalized as our mobile navigation and automotive navigation services customers, may present a higher risk of default and remit payment over extended collection periods. As a result, we anticipate that we may experience a greater risk of delayed payments and potential write-offs for uncollectible accounts as our advertising revenue grows.

Recent Developments

In April 2014, in connection with a consolidation of our facilities, we announced the expected closure of our Boston office by June 30, 2014. In addition, we anticipate completing the consolidation of our Sunnyvale headquarters facilities from two buildings into one during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. We expect to record costs of approximately $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 related to the facilities consolidation and severance and benefits for the positions eliminated.

On January 29, 2014, we completed our acquisition of all of the shares of privately held skobbler GmbH, or skobbler, a navigation company based in Germany. We acquired skobbler for consideration of approximately $23.8 million, consisting of approximately $19.2 million in cash and $4.6 million in restricted shares of our common stock. We believe the acquisition of skobbler will enable us to combine its OpenStreetMap (OSM)-based GPS navigation technology with our existing mobile navigation solutions. The transaction has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

In January 2014, we announced that we had entered into a contract with one of the five largest global auto manufacturers to provide worldwide embedded and connected navigation services beginning with select model year 2017 vehicles. The agreement covers an initial three-year production cycle, which we expect to commence with select model year 2017 vehicles.

20


Under the terms of the agreement, we expect our connected services to support navigation in more than 100 countries. There are no volume or revenue guarantees provided by this auto manufacturer.

As of October 1, 2013, Sprint Nextel Corporation, or Sprint, no longer provides us compensation for our services on a fixed fee basis for bundled offerings provided to its customers. The revenue we receive from Sprint consists primarily of revenue from monthly recurring fees paid by end users for premium services. The current monthly recurring fee revenue is substantially lower than the fee revenue we had previously received from Sprint for the bundling of our services and we anticipate that this trend will continue. Subsequent to October 1, 2013, we have not experienced significant replacement revenue from subscribers who formerly had access to our services through the Sprint bundles.

During fiscal 2013 and the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we also experienced declines in the number of paid monthly recurring fee end users at other large wireless carrier customers, including AT&T, T-Mobile USA, or T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular Corporation, or USCC, and we expect this trend to continue. As a result, we expect that our revenue from wireless carrier partners will continue to decline substantially and that the composition of the remaining wireless carrier revenue will change over the near term. We expect our total revenue in fiscal 2014 will decline substantially from previous years as we do not foresee revenue from automotive navigation or advertising growing sufficiently to offset the loss of wireless carrier revenue in fiscal 2014.
In fiscal 2014, as was the case in fiscal 2013, we expect that subscription revenue from our partnerships with wireless carriers for navigation will continue to decline substantially as our agreement with Sprint has transitioned to a predominantly freemium model and our wireless carrier customers continue to experience declines in subscribers paying monthly recurring charges for navigation applications. We expect that over time, certain other wireless carrier partners will shift to models in which we are not compensated on a fixed basis for our services but instead share revenue received with them, whether that revenue is generated directly from monthly recurring charges for navigation services or from advertising in our navigation services.

We do not expect to be able to reduce our cost of services revenue at the same rate as services revenue, if at all. We will continue to incur significant costs, especially third party content and data center operations costs, associated with providing our navigation services at reduced revenue rates across a smaller group of subscribers or free under our freemium distribution model. We also anticipate that because of our efforts to grow automotive, mobile advertising and other strategic revenue sources, our operating expenses will not decline in fiscal 2014 at the same rate as our revenue, and in fact may increase. As a result, we incurred a net loss in the three months ended December 31, 2013, for the first time since fiscal 2007. We continued to incur a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and we believe that we will incur substantial net losses in fiscal 2014. At this time we do not know when we may return to profitability. We also expect our acquisition of skobbler to be dilutive to our results of operations in the near term.
In an effort to focus more and strengthen our strategic consumer, advertising and automotive businesses, in April 2013 we completed the sale of our enterprise business to FleetCor Technologies Operating Company, LLC, or FleetCor, for approximately $10.0 million in cash and the assumption by FleetCor of certain liabilities relating to our enterprise business. In connection with the completion of the transaction, 50 of our employees became employees of FleetCor. We entered into a noncompetition agreement with FleetCor in which we agreed not to re-enter the enterprise business for a period of three years after the closing. We are providing certain services to FleetCor to facilitate the transition of the business and we expect to continue to provide those services during the remainder of fiscal 2014. These services are not material to our statement of income for fiscal 2014 and they have not been presented as discontinued operations. The results of operations of our enterprise business have been classified as discontinued operations in our statement of income for all periods presented through fiscal 2013.

All information in the following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations includes only results from continuing operations (excluding our enterprise business) for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
Key operating and financial performance metrics

We monitor the key operating and financial performance metrics set forth in the tables below to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts and assess our operational efficiencies. Certain of these measures, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, from continuing operations and diluted non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, per share are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of financial performance

Gross margin is our gross profit, or total revenue less cost of revenue, expressed as a percentage of our total revenue. Our gross margin has been and will continue to be impacted by the increasing percentage of our revenue base derived from automotive navigation solutions and advertising network services, which generally have higher associated third party content costs and third party display ad inventory costs, respectively, than our navigation offerings provided through wireless carriers.
Non-GAAP gross margin measures our GAAP gross margin, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and capitalized software and developed technology amortization expenses. Non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, measures GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, capitalized software and developed technology amortization expenses, and other items such as legal settlements and restructuring costs, net of taxes. Stock-based compensation expense relates to equity incentive awards granted to our employees, directors, and consultants. Stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be a significant recurring non-cash expense for us. While we include the dilutive impact of such equity awards in weighted average shares outstanding, the expense associated with stock-based awards reflects a non-cash charge that we exclude from non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, per share, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Capitalized software amortization expense represents internal software costs that are previously capitalized and charged to expense as the software is used in our operations. Developed technology amortization expense relates to the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Legal settlements represent settlements from patent litigation cases in which we are defendants and royalty disputes.  Restructuring costs represent recognition of the estimated amount of costs associated with restructuring activities. Our non-GAAP tax rate from continuing operations differs from the GAAP tax rate from continuing operations due to the elimination of any tax effect of the GAAP stock-based compensation expenses, capitalized software and developed technology amortization expenses, legal settlements, restructuring costs, and other items that are being eliminated to arrive at the non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations measures our GAAP income (loss) excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization, interest income, other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, and other items such as legal settlements and restructuring costs, net of tax. Adjusted EBITDA, while generally a measure of profitability, can also represent a loss and this metric excludes certain non-cash expenses, interest and other income (expense), income taxes, and certain other items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results.
Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the expenses eliminated in calculating non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, and adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. In addition, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, and adjusted EBITDA are key financial measures used by the compensation committee of our board of directors in connection with the development of incentive-based compensation for our executive officers. Accordingly, we believe that non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

22


Diluted non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, per share is calculated as non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures;
non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations do not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that historically have represented a reduction in cash available to us or tax benefits that may arise as a result of generating net losses; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and diluted non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, per share alongside other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP financial results.
The following tables present reconciliations of gross margin to non-GAAP gross margin, income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, to non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, and income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for each of the periods indicated:

Key components of our results of operations
Sources of revenue
We offer voice-guided, real time, turn by turn, mobile navigation service under several brand names including Scout by Telenav and Telenav GPS as well as under wireless carrier brands (or “white label” brands) including AT&T Navigator and Your Navigator Deluxe. Our technology also powers automotive navigation solutions that provide accurate, easy to use navigation services to drivers, including search, points of interest, or POI, and traffic services. We believe our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to cover the anticipated use of cash from operations for the foreseeable future.
We offer our mobile navigation services to customers in a number of ways. Currently, we primarily derive our revenue from our wireless carrier customers for their end users' subscriptions to our mobile navigation services. Our wireless carrier customers pay us based on several different revenue models, including (1) a revenue sharing arrangement that may include a minimum fee per end user, (2) a monthly or annual subscription fee per end user, or (3) based on usage. Certain of our contracts provide our wireless carrier customers with discounts based on the number of end users paying for our services in a given month. In general, our wireless carrier customers pay us a lower monthly fee per end user if an end user subscribes to our mobile navigation services as part of a bundle of mobile data or voice services than if an end user subscribes to our mobile navigation services on a standalone basis. We also offer our applications directly to end users through application stores such as the Apple App Store and the Google Play marketplace. Finally, we provide free versions of our services which can generate revenue through advertising supported arrangements, and subscriber upgrades to premium versions for a fee.
We derive revenue from the delivery of customized software products and royalties from the distribution of these software products in certain automotive navigation applications. We also derive revenue from advertising network services through the delivery of search and display advertising impressions based on the specific terms of the advertising contract, which we began to offer in the three months ended December 31, 2012 with our acquisition of Thinknear. In the future, we may have other revenue models. We classify our revenue as either product or services revenue. Product revenue consists primarily of revenue we receive from the delivery of customized software and royalties from the distribution of this customized software in certain automotive navigation applications; services revenue consists primarily of revenue we derive from our mobile navigation services, off-board automotive navigation services, mobile advertising and premium navigation services.

For services that our subscribers purchase through our wireless carriers, our wireless carrier customers are responsible for billing and collecting the fees they charge their subscribers for the right to use our navigation services. With respect to Sprint, through September 30, 2013, we received a guaranteed fixed fee from Sprint for navigation applications provided to subscribers in bundles with other Sprint services. We recognized revenue for the aggregate fees monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. When we are paid on a revenue sharing basis with our wireless carrier customers, the amount we receive varies depending on several factors, including the revenue share rate negotiated with the wireless carrier customer, the price charged to the subscriber by the wireless carrier customer, the specific sales channel of the wireless carrier customer in which the service is offered and the features and capability of the service. As a result of these factors, the amount we receive for a subscriber may vary considerably and is subject to change over time.

24



In addition, the amount we are paid per end user in our revenue sharing arrangements may also vary depending upon the metric used to determine the amount of the payment, including the number of end users at any time during a month, the average monthly paying end users, the number and timing of end user billing cycles and end user activity. Although our wireless carrier customers generally have sole discretion about how to price our mobile navigation services to their subscribers, our revenue sharing arrangements generally include monthly minimum fees per end user. To a much lesser extent, we also sell our services directly to consumers through application stores.
Ford represented 45% and 34% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In April 2014, our agreement with Ford was extended through December 2017. We provide both on-board and off-board connected navigation solutions to Ford. Our on-board solution consists of software, map and POI data loaded in the vehicle that provides voice-guided turn by turn navigation displayed on the vehicle screen. We recognize revenue from our on-board solutions as the related customized software is delivered to, and accepted by our customers. In addition, we recognize royalties earned from our on-board solutions generally as the software is reproduced for installation in vehicles. Our off-board connected solution enables a mobile device that is paired with the vehicle to activate in-vehicle text-based and voice-guided turn by turn navigation. We recognize revenue from our off-board connected solutions monthly based on annual subscriptions, which are subject to a maximum annual fee with Ford. We anticipate that we will continue to depend on Ford for a material portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future.
AT&T represented 25% and 30% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In March 2014, our agreement with AT&T was automatically renewed, under its existing terms through March 2015, and provides that we will continue to be the exclusive provider of white label GPS navigation services to AT&T. AT&T is not required to offer our navigation services. We anticipate that we will continue to depend on AT&T for a material portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future; however, we have recently seen substantial declines in the number of paying subscribers for our services through AT&T.
Sprint represented 7% and 17% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We operate under an agreement with Sprint, which we most recently amended in April 2013. Under this amended agreement, we and Sprint agreed to continue the fixed fee arrangement related to the Sprint bundle through September 30, 2013, and to partner to generate revenue from premium navigation and mobile advertising programs through December 31, 2015. Commencing on October 1, 2013, Sprint no longer bundles our navigation services, which caused our revenue to decrease substantially in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014. A majority of the Sprint subscribers who were receiving our services through bundles as of September 30, 2013 did not convert to our paid navigation services and we have not recouped the lost revenue through freemium or monthly recurring charges paid by those Sprint subscribers.
Subscription fee revenue from our mobile navigation services represented 44% and 64% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Subscription fee revenue from our mobile navigation services declined in the comparable nine month period, primarily due to the transition to the termination of the Sprint fixed fee services as of October 1, 2013 and a decrease in the number of paying subscribers for navigation services provided through wireless carriers. Revenue from our automotive navigation solutions represented 49% and 34% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenue from our mobile advertising services represented 7% and 2% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

We expect that the percentage of our revenue represented by wireless carrier customers will decline substantially in fiscal 2014 because Sprint ceased to bundle our services as of October 1, 2013 and more end users are using free navigation services rather than paying monthly recurring charges with other wireless carrier customers. Subsequent to October 1, 2013, we have not been successful in the short term at fully replacing lost wireless carrier revenue with revenue from automotive and advertising, resulting in a substantial decline in our total revenue in fiscal 2014 relative to prior years.

For fiscal 2014, we expect automotive and advertising revenue to represent the most rapidly growing components of our revenue but our expectations may not be realized. Although we are working to replace historical wireless carrier revenue, we believe that the growth of alternative sources of revenue, while material, will be insufficient to offset the declines in wireless carrier revenue in the short-term. As a result, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur net losses in fiscal 2014 and we do not know when we may return to profitability.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we generated 94% and 92% of our revenue, respectively, in the United States. With respect to revenue we receive from automobile manufacturers and OEMs for sales of vehicles in other countries, we classify that revenue as being generated in the United States, because we provide deliverables to and receive compensation from the manufacturer's or OEM's United States' entity.

25


Cost of revenue
Our cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of third party content, such as map, POI, traffic, gas price and weather data and voice recognition technology that we use in providing our navigation services. Our cost of revenue also includes the cost of third party exchange ad inventory as well as expenses associated with data center operations, customer support, the amortization of capitalized software, recognition of deferred development costs on specific projects, and amortization of developed technology. The largest component of our cost of revenue is the fee we pay to providers of map, POI and traffic data, TomTom North America, Inc., or TomTom, and HERE North America, LLC, or HERE, a Nokia Company . We have agreements with TomTom and HERE pursuant to which we pay royalties according to a variety of different fee schedules, including on a per use basis, on a per end user per month basis, and on a per installed vehicle basis. With respect to TomTom, we are required to pay certain minimum fees for access to its content by our mobile navigation customers, as well as a usage fee. For our on-board navigation solutions provided to Ford, we pay royalties on a per unit produced basis to HERE. We classify our cost of revenue as either cost of product revenue or cost of services revenue. Cost of product revenue consists primarily of the cost of third party content we incur in providing our on-board automotive navigation solutions and recognition of deferred development costs. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with third party content, third party exchange ad inventory, data center operations, customer support, amortization of capitalized software, stock-based compensation and amortization of developed technology that we incur in providing our navigation services, mobile advertising and premium navigation services.
We primarily provide mobile navigation service customer support through a third party provider to whom we provide training and assistance with problem resolution. We use two outsourced, hosted data centers and industry standard hardware to provide our navigation services. We generally offer to our wireless carrier customers and generally maintain at least 99.9% uptime every month, excluding designated periods of maintenance. Our internal targets for service uptime are even higher. We have in the past, and may in the future, not achieve our targets for service availability and may incur penalties for failure to meet contractual service availability requirements, including loss of a portion of subscriber fees for the month or termination of our wireless carrier customer agreement.

While we expect that services revenue from wireless carrier customers will decline substantially in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, we do not expect to be able to reduce our cost of services revenue at the same rate as services revenue, if at all. We will continue to incur significant costs, especially third party content and data center operations costs, associated with providing our navigation services at reduced revenue rates or free under our freemium distribution model. We expect that our total cost of revenue will increase as a percentage of revenue as we increase the percentage of our revenue from automotive navigation solutions and advertising network services, which generally have higher associated third party content costs and third party display ad costs, respectively, than our navigation offerings provided through wireless carriers. We expect that our cost of revenue will decrease in absolute dollars, as it will be impacted by declining third party content costs associated with the decline in revenue from wireless carrier customers, partially offset by increased amortization of developed technology acquired. Cost of revenue related to our advertising business will be impacted by our ability to grow advertising revenue, as well as the cost and availability of display ad inventory sourced from third party exchanges. We anticipate that we may be able to realize a slight decrease in cost of services revenue with the launch of our OSM-based application, initially on our freemium solution, in fiscal 2015.
Operating expenses
We classify our operating expenses into three categories: research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative. Our operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, which include salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, employee benefit costs and stock-based compensation expense. Other expenses include marketing program costs, facilities, legal, audit and tax consulting and other professional service fees. We allocate stock-based compensation expense resulting from the amortization of the fair value of stock-based awards granted, based on the department in which the award holder works. We allocate overhead, such as rent and depreciation, to each expense category based on headcount. Our operating expenses have stabilized in absolute dollars in the past year, as we have reduced certain headcount and achieved greater operational effectiveness. Despite these recent efforts, we expect that certain costs will continue to increase over time, including compensation and related costs; however, we are continuing to evaluate spending in certain areas and taking actions to create greater efficiencies. We anticipate continued investment of resources, including the hiring of additional headcount in, or reallocation of employee personnel into, our growth areas, which include automotive and mobile advertising.
Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our development employees and costs of outside consultants. We have focused our research and development efforts on improving the ease of use and functionality of our existing services, as well as developing new service and product offerings in our existing markets and in new markets. A majority of our research and development employees are located in our development centers in China and, as a result, a portion of our research and development expense is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates, notably the

26


Chinese Renminbi, or RMB. In addition, with the January 2014 acquisition of skobbler, we expect to also incur research and development expenses in the Romanian Leu.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our sales, product management and marketing staff, commissions earned by our sales personnel and the cost of marketing programs, advertising and promotional activities. Historically, a majority of our revenue was derived from wireless carriers, which bore much of the expense of marketing and promoting our services to their subscribers, as well as consumers acquired through open market application stores. More recently, our automotive and advertising revenue have represented the most rapidly growing components of our revenue, and we have invested in building our advertising sales team. Our sales and marketing activities supporting our automotive navigation services include product management and business development efforts. Our automotive manufacturer partners and OEMs also provide primary marketing for our on-board and off-board navigation services at the time a vehicle is sold to their end customer. We expect to increase our investment in sales and marketing activities, in part, to support our initiatives in the automotive industry and mobile advertising and to promote our branded services directly to end users.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our executive, finance, legal, human resources and administrative personnel, legal, audit and tax consulting and other professional services and corporate expenses.
Other income (expense), net. Other income, net consists primarily of interest we earn on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and foreign exchange gains and losses.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, consists of results of operations of our enterprise business, which was sold in April 2013.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. Historically, our provision for income taxes primarily consisted of corporate income taxes related to profits earned in the United States. However, in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we have recognized a tax benefit on our losses. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis and could be adversely affected by increases in nondeductible stock compensation or other nondeductible expenses. Our effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to a change in our earnings or loss projections, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, changes in our ability to benefit from the carryback of net operating losses within the carryback period, or changes in tax laws, regulations, or accounting principles, as well as certain discrete items.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our judgment in its application. In other cases, our judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting policies that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could reasonably use different accounting estimates, and in some instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Results of operations

The following tables set forth our results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as a percentage that each line item represents of our total revenue for those periods. The additional key metrics presented are used in addition to the financial measures reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income data to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets and measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. The period to period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods.

The results of operations of our enterprise business have been classified as discontinued operations in our statement of income for all periods presented through fiscal 2013. The discontinued operations are not material for fiscal 2014 and they have not been presented as discontinued operations in our statement of income for fiscal 2014. The following discussion focuses solely on results of continuing operations.

Comparison of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
Revenue.
Product revenue. Product revenue consists primarily of revenue we receive from the delivery of customized software and royalties from the distribution of this customized software in certain automotive navigation applications. Product revenue decreased 29% to $17.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $24.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Product revenue increased 15% to $55.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $48.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in the comparable three month period was due primarily to decreases in customized software revenue and map content update revenue, partially offset by an increase in royalty revenue from automotive navigation solutions we provide for our automotive customers. Product revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 included $1.7 million and $7.7 million, respectively, of customized software revenue. In addition, product revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2013 included $4.0 million related to a map content update separately purchased by Ford. The increase in the comparable nine month periods was due primarily to increased automotive royalty revenue, which more than offset decreases in customized software revenue and map content update revenue. Product revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 included $4.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of customized software revenue. In addition, product revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 included $6.8 million related to a map content update separately purchased by Ford.
Services revenue. Services revenue consists primarily of revenue we derive from our mobile navigation services and mobile advertising. Services revenue decreased 44% to $16.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $30.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Services revenue decreased 37% to $60.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $96.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in the comparable three and nine month periods was due primarily to lower subscription fees resulting from decreases in the number of paying subscribers for mobile navigation services provided through AT&T, T-Mobile and USCC, the termination of our fixed fee revenue from Sprint for bundled users, and a decrease in mobile navigation revenue internationally. Accordingly, in the three months ended March 31, 2014, services revenue from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, USCC and international customers decreased by $15.1 million. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, services revenue from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, USCC and international

29


customers decreased by $40.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by growth in revenue from advertising network services.
Revenue concentrations. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, revenue from Ford represented 50% and 46% of our total revenue, respectively; revenue from AT&T represented 25% and 23% of our total revenue, respectively, and revenue from Sprint represented 2% and 15% of our total revenue, respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, revenue from Ford represented 45% and 34% of our total revenue, respectively; revenue from AT&T represented 25% and 30% of our total revenue, respectively, and revenue from Sprint represented 7% and 17% of our total revenue, respectively. No other customer represented more than 10% of our total revenue in such periods.
Revenue from our automotive navigation solutions represented 53% and 46% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenue from our automotive navigation solutions represented 49% and 34% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Subscription fees from our mobile navigation services represented 39% and 52% of our total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Subscription fees from our mobile navigation service represented 44% and 64% of our total revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenue from our mobile advertising services represented 8% and 2% of our revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenue from our mobile advertising services represented 7% and 2% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

We primarily sell our services in the United States. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, revenue derived from U.S. sources represented 94% and 93% of our total revenue, respectively. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, revenue derived from U.S. sources represented 94% and 92% of our total revenue, respectively.
Cost of revenue.
Cost of product revenue. Our cost of product revenue decreased 34% to $8.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $12.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, which was greater than the 29% decrease in product revenue. Our cost of product revenue increased 4% to $27.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $26.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013, which was lower than the 15% increase in product revenue. Our cost of product revenue decreased in the comparable three month period due primarily to a decrease in third party content costs of $2.3 million resulting primarily from the costs associated with the fiscal 2013 map content update provided to Ford that did not recur in fiscal 2014. Our cost of product revenue increased in the comparable nine month period due primarily to an increase in third party content costs of $3.8 million commensurate with the growth in our product revenue, partially offset by a decrease due to the costs associated with the fiscal 2013 map content update provided to Ford that did not recur in fiscal 2014. Cost of product revenue decreased at a greater rate and increased at a lower rate than the decrease and increase in product revenue for the comparable three and nine month periods, respectively, due primarily to the elimination of costs associated with the map content update for Ford that were included in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013. The $4.0 million and $6.8 million of revenue related to the map content update separately purchased by Ford in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, had substantially higher associated content costs as a percentage of revenue than our on-board navigation revenue earned from Ford for production vehicles.
Cost of services revenue. Our cost of services revenue decreased 35% to $5.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $8.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our cost of services revenue decreased 25% to $18.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $24.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Cost of services revenue did not decline commensurate with the 44% and 37% decrease in services revenue for the comparable three and nine month periods, respectively. Cost of services revenue in the comparable three month period was impacted by a decrease in third party content costs of $2.4 million as well as decreased customer support and data center costs. Cost of services revenue in the comparable nine month period was impacted by a decrease in third party content costs of $4.1 million as well as decreased customer support and data center costs, partially offset by increased amortization expense of $0.6 million, primarily related to developed technology acquired.
Gross profit. Our gross profit decreased to $20.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $33.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our gross profit decreased to $70.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $94.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Our gross margin decreased to 59% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 61% in the three months ended March 31, 2013, and decreased to 61% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 65% in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in gross margin in the comparable three and nine month periods was primarily due to lower services revenue and the increased proportion of product revenue contributed from our on-board automotive navigation solutions provided to our automotive customers, which generally have higher associated content costs and resulting lower gross margins than our mobile navigation services provided through our wireless carrier customers. We expect our gross margin to continue to decline as the percentage of our revenue from automotive

30


offerings increases, and as a result of increased competition on our offering of mobile navigation services, especially from other freemium offerings. In addition, our gross margin will continue to be negatively impacted in the future by the amortization of developed technology acquired as part of our acquisition of Thinknear and our January 2014 acquisition of skobbler.
Research and development. Our research and development expenses decreased 1% to $15.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $16.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our research and development expenses decreased 1% to $45.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $45.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Costs in the three months ended March 31, 2014 were comparable to the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The change in the comparable nine month period was primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits costs of $1.7 million associated with decreased average headcount, primarily in our China offices, and a decrease in amortization and depreciation expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in capitalization and deferral of software development costs of $1.4 million. This net decrease was further offset by the reimbursement of $1.0 million of costs in connection with a cost recovery contract with a third party that was included in the three months ended March 31, 2013. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses increased to 46% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 29% in the three months ended March 31, 2013, and increased to 39% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 31% in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The total number of research and development personnel decreased 4% to 512 at March 31, 2014 from 534 at March 31, 2013. A substantial portion of the decline in headcount occurred in June 2013 in conjunction with our restructuring efforts. This decline was partially offset by an increase in headcount with our acquisition of skobbler in January 2014. Although the number of our research and development personnel has decreased in the short-term, we expect research and development expenses will not reflect a proportionate decrease as we have retained research and development personnel in higher cost geographic areas. We also expect research and development expenses to increase on a full quarter basis as a result of our acquisition of skobbler on January 29, 2014; however, on a full time equivalent basis, research and development personnel in Romania, where skobbler’s primary research and development center is located, are lower cost than we have historically experienced in the United States. We also believe that as we continue to invest in expanding the navigation services we offer, establish relationships with new automotive manufacturers and OEMs and advertisers and develop new services and products, revenue from those investments and development efforts will lag the related research and development expenses.
Sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses increased 11% to $8.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $7.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our sales and marketing expenses increased 8% to $24.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $22.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to increases in compensation, benefits and commissions of $1.3 million and contracted services of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in trade show expense of $0.1 million and a decrease in advertising and promotion expense of $0.3 million. The increase in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in compensation, benefits and commissions of $1.4 million and contracted services of $1.1 million, which includes expensed content licenses not incorporated in our technology, partially offset by a decrease in advertising and promotion expense of $0.9 million. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses increased to 26% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 14% in the three months ended March 31, 2013, and increased to 21% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 16% in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The total number of sales and marketing personnel was 109 at March 31, 2014 compared to 108 at March 31, 2013. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase over time in absolute dollars as we add sales personnel to support our advertising business.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased 31% to $6.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $5.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our general and administrative expenses increased 5% to $19.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $18.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the comparable three month period was primarily due to increased legal costs of $1.1 million and increased professional services fees of $0.3 million. The increase in the comparable nine month period was primarily due to increased compensation and benefits of $0.9 million, increased stock compensation expense of $0.6 million and increased professional services fees of $0.4 million, partially offset by decreased legal costs of $1.3 million. The total number of general and administrative personnel was unchanged at 76 at March 31, 2014 and 2013. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 20% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 10% in the three months ended March 31, 2013, and increased to 17% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 13% in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses may vary substantially from period to period as our legal expenses associated with ongoing intellectual property litigation and requests for indemnification related to intellectual property litigation proceed.
Other income (expense), net. Our other income (expense), net was $(0.3) million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our other income (expense), net was $1.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and $1.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Other income (expense), net for the

31


nine months ended March 31, 2014 included a $0.8 million gain from the sale of an investment in a privately-held company and a $0.3 million impairment charge from the write-off of an investment in a private-held company.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Income from discontinued operations, net consists of results of operations of our enterprise business, which was sold in April 2013.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes. Our provision (benefit) for income taxes, excluding discontinued operations, was $(6.1) million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $2.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Our effective tax rate, excluding discontinued operations, was 35% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 25% in the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Our effective tax rate of 35%, which resulted in the recognition of a tax benefit for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, was the same as the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to nondeductible stock compensation and nondeductible expenses offset by the exempt income and research and development credits, and true ups.  Our effective tax rate, excluding discontinued operations, of 25% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was lower than the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due primarily to the extension of the R&D credit offset by nondeductible stock compensation and discrete tax benefits of $1.0 million as a result of changes in intercompany arrangements and $0.8 million related to the retroactive effect of the R&D credit extension.
We record liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, our cumulative unrecognized tax benefits were $6.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $5.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for income taxes. We had $0.4 million and $0.3 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

We file income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, California, various states and foreign tax jurisdictions in which we have subsidiaries. The statute of limitations remains open for fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2013 in the U.S., for fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2013 in state jurisdictions, and for fiscal 2007 through fiscal 2013 in foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years outside the normal statute of limitations remain open to audit by tax authorities due to tax attributes generated in those early years which have been carried forward and may be audited in subsequent years when utilized.

We record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that it is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets each quarter, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including current and previous operating results, ability to carryback losses for a tax refund, and forecasts of future operating results.
Based on the information available at March 31, 2014, our conclusion is that most of our US and a portion of our state deferred tax assets are realizable. We continue to monitor and evaluate the realizability on a quarterly basis.  If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will be realized we may record additional valuation allowance at that time. Our valuation allowance at June 30, 2013 was $2.9 million which was primarily attributable to California and foreign deferred tax assets.
On December 31, 2013, the research and development credit expired for federal tax purposes. The 2012 Taxpayer Relief Act extended the research and development credit for two years until December 31, 2013. Although the research and development credit has been extended every year since enactment, a tax benefit cannot be recorded for the expired period until the tax extenders bill, or the bill, has been enacted. If and when the bill is enacted, a retroactive tax benefit will be recorded in the period of enactment. We have recorded a tax benefit for the federal research and development credit for the six months ended December 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $146.0 million, which primarily consisted of money market mutual funds, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, corporate bonds, and commercial paper held. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are held and managed by financial institutions that are required to adhere to our investment policy.
Our accounts receivable are heavily concentrated in a small number of customers. As of March 31, 2014, our accounts receivable balance was $27.1 million, of which Ford and AT&T represented 40% and 31%, respectively.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our use of cash in fiscal 2014 to support our operations during our transition, our growth rate, if any, the timing and extent of expenditures to support development efforts, the expansion of research and development and sales and marketing activities and headcount, the introduction of our new and enhanced service and product offerings and the growth in our end user base. We believe our cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our financial obligations through at least the next 12 months. However, we expect to continue to use cash in operating activities in fiscal 2014 and we may experience greater than expected cash usage in operating activities, revenue that is lower than we anticipate, or greater than expected cost of revenue or operating expenses. Our revenue and operating results could be lower than we anticipate if, among other reasons, our customers, two of which we are substantially dependent upon for a large portion of our revenue, were to limit or terminate our relationships with them; we were to fail to successfully compete in our highly competitive market, including against competitors who offer their services for free; our wireless carrier customers were to elect not to market and distribute our mobile navigation services to end users; or our wireless carrier customers were to elect to lower the prices charged to their subscribers for our service. We may also use additional cash balances for acquisitions, such as our January 2014 acquisition of skobbler. In the future, we may acquire businesses or technologies or additional license technologies from third parties, and we may decide to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing to the extent we believe this is necessary to successfully complete these acquisitions or license these technologies. However, additional financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all, at the time we make such determinations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash position.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $(14.5) million and $34.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash provided by or used in operating activities has historically been affected by changes in our end user base and increases in our operating costs, which are primarily driven by headcount related costs and royalty payments for portions of the content provided in our products. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, cash used in operating activities was the result of a net loss of $11.5 million, adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $5.1 million, stock-based compensation of $8.0 million and accretion of net premium on short-term investments of $2.7 million, which were more than offset by $19.5 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted principally from an increase in restricted cash of $3.4 million and decreases in accrued royalties of $4.9 million, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $3.0 million and deferred revenue of $4.8 million primarily as a result of Sprint ceasing to compensate us for services we provide to its customers through bundled offerings effective October 1, 2013. In the nine months ended March 31, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was provided principally by net income of $7.5 million, adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $6.4 million, and stock-based compensation of $6.2 million, partially offset by $10.8 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

33


Net cash provided by investing activities. Our investing activities provided $12.1 million and $0.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash flows from investing activities have historically been affected by purchases, sales and maturities of short-term investments, purchases of property and equipment, internal software development costs, and acquisitions. We expect to make additional purchases of property and equipment in future periods as we continue to invest in infrastructure, as well as replace equipment nearing the end of its service life. However, we will balance such purchases with our increasing use of hosted data services in an effort to more efficiently scale operations, particularly with respect to our growing advertising business. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, cash provided by investing activities was principally the result of proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases, of $32.7 million, partially offset by cash used for our acquisition of skobbler for $19.2 million. In the nine months ended March 31, 2013, cash provided by investing activities was principally the result of proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases, of $22.5 million, partially offset by cash used principally for our acquisition of Thinknear for $18.3 million, purchases of property and equipment of $1.9 million and purchases of long-term investments of $1.0 million.
Net cash used in financing activities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we used cash in our financing activities of $7.9 million and $21.6 million, respectively, primarily to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock under our stock repurchase programs. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we utilized $7.9 million of cash to repurchase 1,268,658 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $6.23 per share. In the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we utilized $24.2 million of cash to repurchase shares of our common stock, partially offset by proceeds of $2.6 million from the exercise of stock options.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies
As of March 31, 2014, we had an aggregate of $37.7 million of future minimum noncancelable financial commitments primarily related to office space under noncancelable operating leases and license fees due to certain of our third party content providers, regardless of usage level. The aggregate of $37.7 million of future minimum commitments were comprised of $9.6 million due in fiscal 2014; $8.0 million due in fiscal 2015; $5.0 million due in fiscal 2016; $4.6 million due in fiscal 2017; $4.3 million due in fiscal 2018; and $6.2 million due thereafter.
 
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Interest rate sensitivity. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income without significantly increasing risk. By policy, we do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Some of the securities we invest in are subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we invest in a variety of securities, which primarily consist of money market funds, commercial paper, municipal securities and other debt securities of domestic corporations. Due to the nature of these investments and relatively short duration of the underlying securities, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, will reduce future interest income. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, a 10% appreciation or depreciation in overall interest rates would not have had a material impact on our interest income or the fair value of our marketable securities.
Foreign currency risk. A substantial majority of our revenue has been generated to date from our end users and customers in the United States and, as such, our revenue has not been substantially exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. However, some of our contracts with our wireless carrier customers outside of the United States are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and therefore expose us to foreign currency risk. Should the revenue generated outside of the United States grow in absolute amounts and as a percentage of our revenue, we will increasingly be exposed to foreign currency exchange risks. In addition, a substantial portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the United States, are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the RMB, and commencing in January 2014, the Romanian Leu. Additionally, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statement of income. As of March 31, 2014, an immediate 10% adverse change in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated receivables and payables would not result in a material loss.
To date, we have not used any foreign currency forward contracts or similar instruments to attempt to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency rates.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting infringement of their intellectual property rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. From time to time we also may be subject to claims from our third party content providers that we owe them additional royalties and interest, which claims may result in litigation if we and the third party content provider are unable to resolve the matter. There can be no assurance with respect to the outcome of any current or future litigation brought against us or pursuant to which we have indemnification obligations and the outcome could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
On December 31, 2009, Vehicle IP, LLC, or Vehicle IP, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, seeking monetary damages, fees and expenses and other relief. Verizon Wireless, or Verizon, was named as a co-defendant in the Vehicle IP litigation based on the VZ Navigator product and has demanded that we indemnify and defend Verizon against Vehicle IP. At this time, we have not agreed to defend or indemnify Verizon. AT&T was also named as a co-defendant in the Vehicle IP litigation based on the AT&T Navigator and Telenav Track products. AT&T has tendered the defense of the litigation to us and we are defending the case on behalf of AT&T. After the Court issued its claim construction ruling the parties agreed to focus on early summary judgment motions, and asked the Court to postpone the rest of the case schedule pending the resolution of these potentially case-dispositive motions. The defendants filed motions for summary judgment of noninfringement. On April 10, 2013 the Court granted AT&T and our motion for summary judgment of noninfringement. While the Court's ruling appears to be dispositive of plaintiff's claims, plaintiff is appealing the district court's claim construction and summary judgment ruling. The appeal is currently ongoing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; the oral argument was held on April 10, 2014. Due to the uncertainties related to litigation, we are unable to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur a loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of any possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the effects of this lawsuit on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On April 30, 2010, Traffic Information, LLC filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, seeking monetary damages, fees and expenses, and other relief. The patent at issue was subject to reexamination by the PTO and the reexamined claims were found invalid. Plaintiff appealed this finding and on May 30, 2013, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, or PTAB, confirmed the invalidity of these claims. Plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration of this decision with the PTAB, which was denied on January 13, 2014. Plaintiff has indicated its intent to appeal this finding. In light of the reexamination and plaintiff's appeal of the reexamination findings, the Court stayed the case and the case will remains stayed and administratively closed unless the plaintiff obtains a favorable decision on appeal before the PTAB or Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. On March 12, 2014, Traffic Information filed an appeal with the U.S. Appeals Court for the Federal Circuit. Due to the preliminary status of the lawsuit and uncertainties related to litigation, we are unable to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur a loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of any possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the effects of this complaint on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 22, 2013 Bay Area Surgical Group, Inc., Knowles Surgery Center, LLC, National Ambulatory Surgery Center, LLC, Los Altos Surgery Center, LP, Forest Ambulatory Surgical Associates, LP, and SOAR Surgery Center, LLC filed a lawsuit against Aetna Life Insurance Company and approximately 300 Aetna health plan sponsors, including Telenav, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that Aetna and the co-defendants failed to properly pay benefits and administer claims and provide the requested documents mandated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). On March 6, 2014 the Court dismissed without prejudice all causes of action against Telenav, Inc. and the Telenav Health and Welfare Plan.

In addition, we have received, and expect to continue to receive, demands for indemnification from our wireless carrier and other customers, which demands can be very expensive to settle or defend, and we have in the past offered to contribute to settlement amounts and incurred legal fees in connection with certain of these indemnity demands. A number of these indemnity demands, including demands relating to pending litigation, remain outstanding and unresolved as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Furthermore, in response to these demands we may be required to assume control of and bear all costs associated with the defense of our customers in compliance with our contractual commitments. At this time, we are not a party to the following cases; however our customers have requested that we indemnify them in connection with such cases:

36


In 2008, Alltel, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile USA, or T-Mobile, each demanded that we indemnify and defend them against patent infringement lawsuits brought by patent holding companies EMSAT Advanced Geo-Location Technology LLC and Location Based Services LLC (collectively, “EMSAT”) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. After T-Mobile also sought indemnification and defense from Google, Inc., Google intervened in the T-Mobile litigation. After claim construction and related motion practice, EMSAT agreed to dismiss all claims against Google in at least the T-Mobile suit, and in March 2011, EMSAT and AT&T settled their claims. By March 2011, all the EMSAT cases were either dismissed or stayed while the PTO completed its reexamination of the validity of the patents at issue. The PTO has concluded its reexamination of two of the patents in suit, confirming the validity of only two of the asserted claims from those patents. At this time, all patent claims that EMSAT alleged to be infringed by the Telenav GPS Navigator product have been cancelled during reexamination. EMSAT agreed to dismiss its allegations relating to the patent claims that were cancelled during reexamination. Accordingly, the Court has lifted the stays in the suits against T-Mobile, Alltel and Sprint. Due to uncertainties related to litigation, we are unable to evaluate the likelihood of either a favorable or unfavorable outcome. We have arbitrated with and compensated one carrier for our defense obligations, without a negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We have not yet determined the extent of our indemnification and defense obligations to the other wireless carriers. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur additional loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of other possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the overall effects of these cases on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2009, AT&T demanded that we indemnify and defend them against a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Tendler Cellular of Texas LLC, or Tendler, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In June 2010, AT&T settled its claims with Tendler and we came to an agreement with AT&T as to the extent of our contribution towards AT&T's settlement and the amount of our contribution was not material; however, there continues to be a disagreement as to whether any additional amounts are owed to AT&T for legal fees and expenses related to the defense of the matter. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we will incur additional loss; however, we cannot currently estimate a range of other possible losses we may experience in connection with this case. Accordingly, we are unable at this time to estimate the overall effects on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
While we presently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, cash flows or overall trends in results of operations, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. Nevertheless, were unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, cash flows or overall trends in results of operations.
Large future indemnity payments and associated legal fees and expenses, including potential indemnity payments and legal fees and expenses relating to our wireless carrier and other customers’ indemnity demands with respect to pending litigation, could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. When we believe a loss or a cost of indemnification is probable and can be reasonably estimated, we accrue the estimated loss or cost of indemnification in our consolidated financial statements. Where the outcome of these matters is not determinable, we do not make a provision in our financial statements until the loss or cost of indemnification, if any, is probable and can be reasonably estimated or the outcome becomes known. Although to date we have not agreed to defend or indemnify our wireless carrier or other customers for outstanding and unresolved indemnity demands where we do not believe we have an obligation to do so or that our solution infringes on asserted intellectual property rights, we may in the future agree to defend and indemnify our wireless carrier or other customers in connection with demands for indemnification, irrespective of whether we believe that we have an obligation to indemnify them or whether we believe our solution infringes the asserted intellectual property rights. Alternatively, we may reject certain of our wireless carriers’ or other customers’ indemnity demands, including the outstanding demands, which may lead to disputes with our wireless carrier or other customers, negatively impact our relationships with them or result in litigation against us. Our wireless carrier or other customers may also claim that any rejection of their indemnity demands constitutes a material breach of our agreements with them, allowing them to terminate such agreements. If we make substantial payments as a result of indemnity demands, our relationships with our wireless carrier or other customers are negatively impacted, or any of our wireless carrier or customer agreements is terminated, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves numerous uncertainties and risks. The following risks and uncertainties may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. You should consider these risks and uncertainties carefully, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. If any of the risks or uncertainties we face were to occur, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risk related to our business
We have incurred and expect that we will continue to incur losses in fiscal 2014 and we do not know when, or if, we will return to profitability, as we make further expenditures to enhance and expand our operations in order to support growth and diversification of our business.
As a percentage of revenue, our net income (loss) was (10)% and 5% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our revenue from paid wireless carrier mobile navigation has substantially declined and we expect it to continue to do so. Our gross margin has declined to 61% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 65% in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 due primarily to the increased proportion of product revenue contributed from our on-board automotive navigation solutions, which generally have higher associated content costs and resulting lower gross margins than our mobile navigation services provided through our wireless carrier customers.
Due to the lengthy design cycle in automotive navigation and the early nature of our advertising business, we anticipate that we will incur net operating losses in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015, as we do not expect to reduce our expenditures proportionately with the anticipated decline in revenue. We recently acquired skobbler, which will increase our operating expenses without an offsetting increase in revenue in the near term. Although we received revenue for bundled offerings from Sprint in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, that revenue terminated on September 30, 2013 and we have not replaced the revenue with other revenue from former subscribers to the Sprint bundles or otherwise and we do not expect to be able to replace it in the short term.
Although we are working to replace rapidly declining wireless carrier revenue, our efforts to develop new services and products and attract new customers require investments in anticipation of longer term revenue. For example, the design cycle for automotive navigation products and services is 18 months to 24 months and in order to win designs and achieve revenue from this growth area, we have to make investments two to four years before we anticipate receiving revenue, if any. This will be the case for our recently announced new top five global automaker customer. We intend to make additional investments in systems and continue to expand our operations to support diversification of our business, but it is likely that these efforts at diversification will not replace our declining wireless carrier revenue in the short-term, if at all. We also anticipate that as we replace some of our personnel, we will do so with employees in higher cost geographic areas who have different skills. As a result of these factors, we believe we will incur a net operating loss and that we will incur net losses at least through fiscal 2015 and we cannot predict when, or if, we will return to profitability. Our investments and expenditures may not result in the growth that we anticipate. In the event we decide to reduce expenses in the future, we may not be able to reduce our expenditures on a timely basis, if at all.

Our quarterly revenue and operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. As a result, we may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, which could cause our stock price to decline.
Our quarterly revenue and operating results may vary significantly in the future. Therefore, you should not rely on the results achieved in any one quarter as an indication of future performance. Period to period comparisons of our revenue and operating results may not be meaningful. Our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, those listed below, many of which are outside of our control:
the transition away from paid carrier navigation to freemium offerings for mobile phone based navigation services;
impact of results of the offering of a premium upgrade on a basic version of our service that is offered for free;
the ability of automobile manufacturer customers to sell automobiles equipped with our products;
the introduction of competitive in-car platforms and products such as Apple's CarPlay and Google's Open Automotive Alliance
the seasonality of new vehicle model introductions and consumer buying patterns, as well as the effects of economic uncertainty on vehicle purchases, particularly outside of the U.S.;
the effectiveness of our entry into new business areas, such as advertising;

38


changes made to existing contractual obligations with a customer that may affect the nature and timing of revenue recognition;
the loss of our relationship or a change in our revenue model with any particular wireless carrier customer;
poor reviews of automotive service offerings into which our navigation solutions are integrated resulting in limited uptake of navigation options by car buyers;
loss of subscribers by our wireless carrier customers or a reduction in the number of subscribers to plans that include our services;
the timing and quality of information we receive from our customers;
our inability to attract new end users;
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our operations and infrastructure through acquisitions or organic growth;
the timing of expenses related to the development or acquisition of technologies, products or businesses;
the timing and success of new service introductions by us or our competitors;
the timing and success of marketing expenditures for our products;
the extent of any interruption in our services;
potential foreign currency exchange gains and losses associated with expenses and sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar;
general economic, industry and market conditions that impact expenditures for new vehicles, smartphones and mobile location services in the United States and other countries where we sell our services and products;
changes in interest rates and our mix of investments, which would impact our return on our investments in cash and marketable securities;
changes in our effective tax rates; and
the impact of new accounting pronouncements.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results might lead analysts to change their models for valuing our common stock. As a result, our stock price could decline rapidly and we could face costly securities class action lawsuits or other unanticipated issues.
We are dependent on Ford for a substantial and increasing portion of our revenue and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be harmed if our revenue from Ford does not continue to grow or declines.
Our first automobile navigation products were introduced in fiscal 2009, and a second generation of products were introduced in fiscal 2010 in a limited number of vehicles and just recently reached a broader model portfolio at a single automobile manufacturer, Ford. Ford represented approximately 45% and 34% of our revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We expect that Ford and other OEMs will account for an increasing portion of our revenue, as our revenue from paid wireless carrier provided navigation declines and our other sources of revenue, such as advertising, have not become material. In addition, our revenue could decline if Ford increased the cost to consumers of our navigation product or reduced the number of vehicles or the geographies in which vehicles with our product as an option are sold, or its sales of vehicles falls below forecast due to competition or global macro-economic conditions. In April 2014, our contract with Ford was extended through December 2017. The agreement may be renewed for successive 12-month periods if either party provides notice of renewal at least 45 days prior to the expiration of the applicable term and the other party agrees to such renewal. Our agreement with Ford also allows either party to terminate the agreement if the other party is insolvent or materially breaches its obligations and fails to cure such breach. In the event that Ford does not elect to renew our contract after December 2017, or chooses to renegotiate our contract on less favorable terms, our revenue may decline and our business operating results and financial condition could be harmed. After December 2017, it is possible but unlikely that Ford will elect not to renew our agreement as this will leave them with no solution for millions of vehicles which are expected to be shipped with Ford SYNC. We may not successfully increase our revenue from Ford if our products are replaced within vehicles by Ford with our competitors' products or from price competition from third parties.
Our current relationship with Ford provides for a different revenue model than has historically been associated with our wireless carrier business. For on-board automotive navigation, we recognize revenue as the related customized software is delivered to and accepted by our customers. In addition we recognize royalties earned from our on-board solutions generally as the software is reproduced for installation in vehicles. We have little experience managing, supporting and retaining automobile manufacturers and OEMs as customers and if we are not able to maintain Ford as customers our revenue will decline.

39


We may not be successful in generating material revenue from automotive manufacturers and OEMs other than Ford and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be harmed if we are unable to diversify our automotive navigation revenue.

Although we have attempted to mitigate our dependence on Ford by establishing relationships with other automobile manufacturers and OEMs, such as with a top five worldwide automobile manufacturer that we announced in January 2014 and Delphi Automotive Systems LLC, or Delphi, these relationships may not produce significant revenue if the products are launched in limited models or due to competition from third parties. In addition, we may incur significant expense to develop products for automobile manufacturers, such as under the services agreement we announced in January 2014 without ever receiving any revenue related to the sale of vehicles with our navigation services. Our ability to attract automobile manufacturers may also be limited if the OEMs chosen to provide navigation services have existing relationships with other navigation vendors or provide their own solutions. Some automobile manufacturers or OEMs may be reluctant to select our products for their worldwide platform due to the concentration of our mobile navigation business in North America and our relative lack of experience with connected mobile navigation in other geographies.
Delphi's new, connected infotainment system, which integrates white label versions of our Scout for Cars on-board automotive platform, was introduced in model year 2013 vehicles for North America by General Motors. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, Scout for Cars was launched with maps which includes South America, Australia, and the Middle East. Delphi also plans to distribute our product in China with a major Chinese auto manufacturer in fiscal 2015. Even if we retain Delphi as a customer, automobile manufacturers may not elect to purchase Delphi's navigation offerings that include our software and/or services for reasons unrelated to performance of our software or services. If so, we may be unable to build a direct relationship with a given automobile manufacturer or with a different OEM.
Our automotive navigation products are an important part of our effort to expand outside of mobile device navigation to other platforms and we may not be successful in our efforts to attract and retain automobile manufacturers and OEMs, implement profitable and high quality products or achieve end customer acceptance of our services and fee model.
In fiscal 2009, we began offering our first off-board connected automotive navigation products and prior to that time, we had limited experience in the automotive navigation market. In fiscal 2010, we began offering our first on-board automotive navigation products. Our on-board solutions may not satisfy automotive manufacturers’ or end customers’ expectations for those solutions. If automobile manufacturers and OEMs do not believe that our services meet their customers’ needs, our products and services may not be designed in to future model year vehicles.
The design and sales cycle for on-board or off-board automotive navigation services and products is substantially longer than those associated with our mobile navigation services to customers of wireless carriers. As a result, we may not be able to achieve significant revenue growth with new customers from the automotive navigation business in a short period of time, or at all. For example, design wins for vehicles may be awarded 12 to 36 months prior to the anticipated commercial launch of the vehicle. In January 2014, we announced that we had entered into a contract with one of the top five largest global auto manufacturers to provide its worldwide connected navigation services beginning with select model year 2017 vehicles. In the event that our product reaches production vehicles, we would not expect to receive any revenue from the launch of those vehicles until fiscal 2017 at the earliest, and in the course of the development of those vehicles we may be designed out altogether. There are no volume or revenue guarantees provided by this auto manufacturer.
As we have limited experience in the automotive navigation market, we also may not price our solutions in such a way that is profitable for us and enables us to recoup the development expenses we incurred to provide such solutions in the time we expect or at all. Development schedules for automotive navigation products are difficult to predict, and there can be no assurance that we will achieve timely delivery of these products to our customers. To the extent that we charge service fees beyond an initial fee at the time the vehicle is purchased, we may not be successful in gaining traction with customers to provide services and charge ongoing fees outside of the traditional on-board navigation service model. Our map, POI and other content costs for our automobile navigation solutions are higher than those we have historically paid for our mobile phone-based navigation services. If we are unable to improve our margins, we may not be able to operate our automobile navigation business profitably. If we fail to achieve revenue growth in any of our automotive navigation solutions (whether on-board, off-board or other), we may be unable to achieve the benefits of revenue diversification. In addition, our third party content suppliers, HERE and TomTom, are also becoming competitors with their own navigation services offerings.
As our offerings in automobile navigation expand to brought-in, as well as built-in, we may not correctly anticipate the financial accounting treatment for the various products. We could be required to amortize revenue from products over time although we previously recognized revenue for similar products when the applicable vehicle was sold.
We introduced Scout, a service that end users can access for navigation and planning with their mobile phones, computers, and cars. We have not previously offered a planning service or a service that spans different platforms. We cannot assure you that automobile manufacturers and end users will accept our Scout service or, even if they do, that end users will adopt and use this service, which encompasses services different than our historical strength in navigation, or that we will be

40


able to generate sufficient revenue from Scout to offset its costs. If we fail to develop innovative products that automobile manufacturers and end users adopt, our operating results and financial condition could be harmed. Further, Google and Apple have each developed technology platforms that they are marketing to auto manufacturers. If auto manufacturers adopt these platforms, they may also adopt Google and Apple’s navigation services that run on these platforms and if so, consumers may elect to use these free service offerings rather than pay for our products which are currently sold by Ford as new car features with substantial cost to the consumer.
We may be unable to enter into agreements to provide automobile navigation products if we do not offer navigation products that serve geographies throughout the world or automobile manufacturers and OEMs are uncomfortable with our ability to support markets outside of the United States. Our automobile manufacturer and OEM customers may choose to partner with providers of location services with extensive international operations. We may be at a disadvantage to attracting such customers due to our business being concentrated in the United States. Ford only recently began offering vehicles with our solutions outside of the United States and we may not be successful in those geographies if customers are uncomfortable with the look and feel of our solutions. If we are unable to attract or retain such automobile manufacturer and OEM customers, our revenue and operating results will be negatively affected.
Our ability to build demand for our automobile navigation products is also dependent upon our ability to provide the products in a cost effective manner, which may require us to renegotiate map and POI content relationships to address the specific demands of on-board navigation applications.
Two wireless carrier customers have accounted for a large but declining portion of our revenue and if we are unable to replace this revenue with other revenue from these wireless carriers or third parties, our revenue and net income or loss would be adversely affected.
We have historically been substantially dependent on two wireless carrier customers for a large portion of our revenue. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, AT&T represented 25% and 30% of our total revenue, respectively. AT&T is not required to offer our navigation services. Our agreement with AT&T was automatically renewed until March 2015 and during the term of our agreement, we are the exclusive provider of white label GPS navigation services to AT&T. If AT&T were to terminate its agreement with us or fail to renew or renegotiate the agreement on favorable terms when it expires, we would lose a substantial portion of our revenue and our business operating results and financial condition could be harmed. Even if AT&T continues to renew our agreement, we may not receive material revenue from AT&T if its subscribers do not continue to purchase our navigation services. In fiscal 2013 and for the first nine months of fiscal 2014, AT&T subscribers have materially decreased their subscriptions for, and usage of, our paid navigation services and our revenue from our relationship with AT&T has declined accordingly. We anticipate that AT&T subscribers, and subscribers of other carriers who pay monthly recurring charges for our services, will continue to decrease their subscriptions for paid navigation services in favor of free or freemium offerings and that our revenue from our relationship with AT&T will continue to decline. AT&T may determine that the cost of offering our service to its subscribers outweighs the benefits if the drop off of subscribers continues. Our failure to maintain our relationship with AT&T would substantially harm our business and we cannot assure you that we and AT&T will be able to reduce subscriber erosion. We anticipate that even if AT&T remains a wireless carrier customer, our revenue from AT&T will continue to decline substantially during the remainder of fiscal 2014 and possibly beyond.
In the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Sprint represented 7% and 17% of our revenue, respectively. For bundled navigation services, Sprint paid us a fixed fee through September 30, 2013 regardless of the number of subscribers (up to specified thresholds). Commencing on October 1, 2013, Sprint no longer bundles our navigation services and Sprint’s subscribers who previously had access to our services through the bundles are required to incur monthly recurring charges or purchase our navigation applications through application stores. We have not received meaningful revenue from Sprint subsequent to September 30, 2013 and we believe our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected during fiscal 2014 and possibly beyond. Although we continue to receive premium subscription fees from Sprint customers, we believe that our revenue will continue to be substantially lower and our other sources of revenue from Sprint will not offset the shortfall in the near term.
Our success depends on significantly increasing the number of end users for our services and products through distribution with our wireless carrier customers, automotive manufacturer and OEM customers and through application stores.
Our future success depends on achieving widespread deployment of our navigation services and products through wireless carrier customers, automotive manufacturers and OEMs and through application stores. We have seen declines in the number of paid monthly recurring fee end users we acquire through our wireless carrier customers. As a result, we expect that our revenue from wireless carrier customers will continue to decline and that the composition of the remaining wireless carrier revenue will change over the near term. In light of this trend away from paid navigation and toward freemium offerings, we will be required to increase the number of vehicles in which our navigation solutions are offered and the number of car buyers that purchase those solutions, as well as successfully convert an increasing number of our subscribers who are not paying for our services to our premium paid offerings and generate revenue by selling advertising that those subscribers see in our free and paid products. We do not have significant experience in sourcing and selling mobile advertising and may not be successful in

41


doing so. However, we believe that to achieve higher returns on mobile advertising, we need to be able to offer advertisers a larger pool of mobile users. Our ability to generate revenue from our navigation services will depend on broad distribution and the quality of those services and subscriber demand for those services, which may vary by market. Attempts to generate revenue from paid premium services or advertising may not be successful and our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We provide freemium navigation to compete with free offerings and we may not be successful with these new products or convert “free” users to paid users.
We provide freemium personalized navigation applications on the Apple App Store, the Google Play marketplace, Microsoft Windows Marketplace and through other marketplaces and our wireless carrier partners. Freemium offerings are free basic navigation services that are monetized through paid upgrades to premium products, as well as through advertising. We may not achieve substantial end user acceptance of these products, and even if end users download and use the freemium products, we may not be successful in converting those “free” users into paid users, particularly since we have begun to offer voice-guided navigation in our freemium offerings. Our freemium offerings provide planning features and other features unrelated to pure navigation that we do not have substantial experience in designing or marketing. These features may deter users who are looking for a pure navigation offering. We have limited experience in marketing our products and services directly to end users or generating advertising revenue. To the extent that our number of active subscribers is low, we may not be able to fulfill sufficient advertising orders to generate meaningful advertising revenue from a freemium model. Bad reviews from end users who dislike our freemium offerings may dissuade other end users from downloading our freemium offerings or converting to paid users. We may not be successful in gaining visibility among end users without incurring significant expenses to market our products and services to those users. In addition, we do not have experience in converting users of free applications to paid users or in generating revenue from full featured products solely through advertising revenue. If we are unable to achieve high visibility among end users on a cost effective basis or fail to convince those end users to convert to paid products and revenue producing services, we may be unable to sustain our revenue and we may incur losses in the future.
We may not successfully generate advertising revenue as a result of our acquisition of Thinknear or from our navigation services if we are unable to attract and retain advertisers.
Although we began providing advertising to some of our end users in 2010, to date, we have not generated material revenue from advertising. In October 2012, we acquired Thinknear, a privately held California-based hyper-local mobile advertising company. In order to grow our advertising business, we need to identify and attract a significant number of advertisers through our Thinknear platform. The mobile advertising market is highly competitive, and advertisers have many options through which to purchase mobile advertising. Our business will require us to attract and retain a large number of advertisers and will also require us to maintain the ability to purchase a large volume of inventory at competitively attractive rates.  Increased competition from other mobile advertising companies and technology developers could impair our ability to secure advertiser revenue.  Increased competition could also limit our ability to purchase inventory for advertising placements at an economically attractive rate.  We do not have substantial experience in selling advertising and supporting advertisers and may not be able to develop these capabilities successfully. We may not be successful recruiting the number of sales personnel we need to scale or effectively train them to sell mobile advertising. Sales personnel may also be slow to ramp up their sales pipelines, negatively impacting our ability to grow. We may not succeed in attracting and retaining a critical mass of advertisers and ad placements and may not be successful in demonstrating the value of mobile advertising. If we fail to do so, we may be unable to generate a material level of revenue from advertising to offset the costs of providing free navigation.
Mobile connected device users may choose not to allow location information and therefore local advertising on their devices.
The growth of our advertising revenue will depend on our ability to deliver location targeted, highly relevant ads to consumers on their mobile connected devices. Our targeted advertising is highly dependent on the consumers allowing applications to have access to their location data. Users may elect not to allow location data sharing for a number of reasons, including personal privacy concerns. Mobile operating systems vendors and application developers are also promoting features that allow device users to disable device functionality that consumers may elect to invoke. In addition, companies may develop products that enable users to prevent ads from appearing on their mobile device screens. If any of these developments were to become widely used by consumers, our ability to deliver effective advertising campaigns on behalf of our advertiser clients would suffer, which could hurt our ability to generate advertising revenue.
Our business practices with respect to data could give rise to liabilities or reputational harm as a result of governmental regulation, legal requirements or industry standards relating to consumer privacy and data protection.
Our advertising services depend on our ability to collect, store and use information related to mobile devices and the ads we place, including a device's geographic location for the purpose of targeting ads to the user of the device. Federal, state and international laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of data that we collect across our mobile advertising platform. We strive to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, policies and legal obligations relating to

42


privacy and data protection. However, it is possible that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with such laws could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities, consumers or others. Such proceedings or actions could hurt our reputation, force us to spend significant amounts to defend ourselves, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, require us to change our advertising services or disclosures, adversely affect the demand for our services and ultimately result in the imposition of monetary liability. We may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless our clients from the costs or consequences of inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of data that we store or handle as part of providing our services.

The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is evolving, and various government and consumer agencies and public advocacy groups have called for new regulation and changes in industry practices, including some directed at the mobile and advertising industries in particular. It is possible that new laws, regulations, standards, recommendations, best practices or requirements will be adopted that would affect our business, particularly with regard to location-based services, collection or use of data to target ads and communication with consumers via mobile devices. To the extent that we or our clients are subject to new law or recommendations or choose to adopt new standards, recommendations, or other requirements, we may have greater compliance burdens. If we are perceived as not operating in accordance with industry best practices or any such guidelines or codes with regard to privacy, our reputation may suffer and we could lose relationships with advertiser or developer partners.
We operate in a highly competitive market, including competitors that offer their services for free, which could make it difficult for us to acquire and retain wireless carrier customers and end users.
The market for development, distribution and sale of location services is highly competitive. Many of our competitors have greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations, sales, distribution and other resources than we do. Competitors may offer mobile location services that have at least equivalent functionality to ours for free. For example, Google offers free voice-guided turn by turn navigation as part of its Google Maps product for mobile devices based on the Android operating system platform, and recently introduced a similar new product for the iOS platform. Apple offers proprietary maps and voice-guided turn by turn directions as part of its iOS 6 operating system release and Nokia, provides a download for its latest version of Nokia Maps on its smartphones which also provides voice-guided turn by turn navigation functions. Microsoft also provides a free voice-guided turn by turn navigation solution on its Windows Mobile and Windows Phone operating systems. Competition from these free offerings may reduce our revenue, result in our incurring additional costs to compete and harm our business. We also do not know what the effect of the acquisition of Nokia’s mobile phone business by Microsoft will have on competition in the mobile navigation market. If our wireless carrier customers can offer these mobile location services to their subscribers for free, they may elect to cease their relationships with us, like Sprint did, or alter or reduce the manner or extent to which they market or offer our services or require us to substantially reduce our fees or pursue other business strategies that may not prove successful. In addition, new car buyers may not value navigation solutions built in to their vehicles if they feel that free (brought-in) offerings are adequate and may not purchase our solutions with their new cars.
Our primary competitors include location service providers such as Apple, Google (including Waze), Microsoft, Nokia, TeleCommunication Systems, or TCS, Intel Corporation, or Intel, and TomTom; PND providers such as Garmin Ltd., or Garmin, and TomTom; providers of Internet and mobile based maps and directions such as AOL Corporation, or AOL, Apple, Mapquest, Inc., or Mapquest, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Inc., or Yahoo, Yelp Inc., or Yelp, Foursquare Labs, Inc., or Foursquare, and Fullpower Technologies, Inc. (MotionX), or Fullpower; and wireless carriers and communication solutions providers developing their own location services. In the automotive navigation market, we compete with established automotive OEMs and providers of on-board navigation services such as Robert Bosch GmbH, or Bosch, Garmin, TomTom and NNG LLC, or Nav N Go, as well as other competitors such as Google, Microsoft and TCS. In our advertising business, we compete against mobile platform providers, including Google, Apple, and Millennial Media, Inc., or Millennial Media, among others. Some of our competitors’ and our potential competitors’ advantages over us, either globally or in particular geographic markets, include the following:
the provision of their services at no or low cost to consumers;
significantly greater revenue and financial resources;
stronger brand and consumer recognition regionally or worldwide;
the capacity to leverage their marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of mobile and nonmobile products;
access to core technology and intellectual property, including more extensive patent portfolios;
access to custom or proprietary content;
quicker pace of innovation;
stronger wireless carrier, automotive and handset manufacturer relationships;

43


stronger international presence may make our larger competitors more attractive partners to automotive manufacturers and OEMs;
greater resources to make and integrate acquisitions;
lower labor and development costs; and
broader global distribution and presence.
Our competitors’ and potential competitors’ advantages over us could make it more difficult for us to sell our navigation services, and could result in increased pricing pressures, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses and failure to increase, or the loss of, market share or expected market share, any of which would likely cause harm to our business, operating results and financial condition.
If we are unable to integrate skobbler or future acquisitions successfully, our operating results and prospects could be harmed.

We acquired skobbler, which has operations in Germany and Romania, in January 2014. In the future, we may make acquisitions to improve our navigation services offerings or expand into new markets. Our future acquisition strategy will depend on our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate acquisitions and, if necessary, to obtain satisfactory debt or equity financing to fund those acquisitions. Mergers and acquisitions are inherently risky, and any mergers and acquisitions we complete may not be successful. Future mergers and acquisitions we may pursue would involve, numerous risks, including the following:
difficulties in integrating and managing the operations, technologies and products of the companies we acquire including skobbler, which is geographically remote from our existing operations;
diversion of our management’s attention from normal daily operation of our business;
our inability to maintain the key business relationships and the reputations of the businesses we acquire, such as the European automobile manufacturer and OEM relationship of skobbler;
our inability to retain key personnel of the acquired company;
uncertainty of entry into markets in which we have limited or no prior experience and in which competitors have stronger market positions;
our dependence on unfamiliar affiliates and customers of the companies we acquire;
insufficient revenue to offset our increased expenses associated with acquisitions;
our responsibility for the liabilities of the businesses we acquire, including those which we may not anticipate; and
our inability to maintain internal standards, controls, procedures and policies.
We may be unable to secure the equity or debt funding necessary to finance future acquisitions on terms that are acceptable to us. If we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders will likely experience dilution, and if we finance future acquisitions with debt funding, we will incur interest expense and may have to comply with financial covenants and secure that debt obligation with our assets.
We may be required to recognize a significant charge to earnings if our goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired.

Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually or on an interim basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.  Factors that may indicate that the carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets may not be recoverable include a persistent decline in our stock price and market capitalization, reduced future cash flow estimates and slower growth rates in our industry.  We have recorded goodwill related to prior acquisitions, and may do so in connection with any potential future acquisitions.   We may be required to record a significant charge in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets is determined, which would adversely impact our results of operations. 


44


We may be required to recognize a significant charge to earnings if our strategic private equity investments become impaired.

We have in the past and may in the future enter into investments in businesses in order to complement or expand our current business or enter into new markets. Private equity investments are inherently risky and subject to factors outside of our control and no assurance can be given that our previous or future investments will be successful, will deliver the intended benefits, and will not materially harm our business, operating results or financial condition. We may be required to record a significant charge in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our private equity investments is determined, which could adversely impact our results of operations. We recorded a $0.3 million impairment charge for one cost-method investment during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Our effective tax rate may increase or fluctuate, which could reduce our anticipated income tax benefit in fiscal 2014.
Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by several factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our effective tax rate may be affected by the proportion of our revenues and income (loss) before taxes in the various domestic and international jurisdictions in which we operate. Our revenue and operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter. We are also subject to changing tax laws, regulations and interpretations in multiple jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as the requirements of certain tax and other accounting body rulings. Since we must estimate our annual effective tax rate each quarter based on a combination of actual results and forecasted results of subsequent quarters, any significant change in our actual quarterly or forecasted annual results may adversely impact the effective tax rate for the period. Our estimated annual effective tax rate may increase or fluctuate for a variety of reasons, including:
changes in forecasted annual operating income or loss;
changes in relative proportions of revenue and income or loss before taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate;
changes to the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets;
changes to actual or forecasted permanent differences between book and tax reporting, including the tax effects of purchase accounting for acquisitions and non-recurring charges which may cause fluctuations between reporting periods;
impacts from any future tax settlements with state, federal or foreign tax authorities;
impacts from changes in tax laws, regulations and interpretations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as the requirements of certain tax rulings;
impacts from withholding requirements in various non-U.S. jurisdictions and our ability to recoup those withholdings, which may depend on how much revenue we have in a particular jurisdiction to offset the related expenses;
impacts from acquisitions and related integration activities; or
impacts from new FASB requirements.
Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome may differ from the amounts recorded in our financial statements and may materially affect our financial results in the period. At the end of the reporting period we assessed our deferred tax assets and determined that it was more likely than not that we would be able to realize approximately $7.7 million of deferred tax assets based upon our cumulative net income, the ability to carryback losses within the carryback period, future taxable income from reversals of temporary taxable differences and recurring permanent taxable differences, and other relevant factors. In the event deferred tax assets cannot be realized based on the forecast of future taxable income and the ability to carryback losses within the carryback period, our effective tax rate would be negatively impacted.

The success of our automotive navigation products may be affected by the number of vehicle models offered with our navigation solutions, as well as overall demand for new vehicles.
Our ability to succeed long term in the automotive industry depends on our ability to expand the number of models offered with our navigation solution by our current automobile manufacturers. We are also dependent upon our ability to attract new automobile manufacturers and OEMs. For automobile manufacturers with whom we have established relationships, such as Ford, our success depends on continued production and sale of new vehicles with, and adoption by, end users of our products offered by such automobile manufacturers, when our product are not standard features. As we move forward, our existing automobile manufacturers and OEMs may not include our solutions in future year vehicles or territories, which would negatively affect our revenue from these products. Production and sale of new vehicles are subject to delay from forces outside of our control, such as natural disasters, parts shortages and work stoppages, as well as general economic conditions.

Our wireless carrier customers may change the pricing and other terms by which they offer our mobile navigation services, which could result in increased end user turnover, lower revenue and adverse effects on our business.
Our wireless carrier customers have significant flexibility as to the manner by which our mobile navigation services are distributed by them. They may bundle the product with other applications or services such as unlimited data plans. Given their flexibility in the future they may reduce the monthly fees per subscriber that they pay us if their subscribers do not use our services as often as the wireless carriers expect or for any other reason in order to reduce their costs. Our wireless carrier customers may also decide to raise prices, impose usage caps or discontinue unlimited data service plans, which could cause our end users who receive our services through those plans to move to a less expensive plan that does not include our services or terminate their relationship with the wireless carrier. If imposed, these pricing changes or usage restrictions could make our mobile navigation services less attractive and could result in current end users abandoning our mobile navigation services. If end user turnover increased, the number of our end users and our revenue would decrease and our business would be harmed. We are also required to give AT&T certain most favored customer pricing on specified products and in certain markets. In certain circumstances this may require us to reduce the price per end user under the AT&T contract, which may adversely impact our revenue.
We are substantially dependent on our wireless carrier customers to market and distribute our mobile navigation services to end users and our business may be harmed if our wireless carrier customers elect not to offer our services broadly.
We rely on our wireless carrier customers to introduce, market and promote our mobile navigation services to end users. Only one of our wireless carrier customers is contractually obligated to continue to do so. If wireless carrier customers do not introduce, market and promote mobile phones that are GPS enabled and on which our client software is preloaded, do not include our mobile navigation services in their bundles or do not actively market our navigation services, our navigation services will not achieve broader acceptance and our revenue may decline.
Wireless carriers, including those with which we have existing relationships, may decide not to offer our services and may enter into preferred relationships with one or more of our competitors. While our navigation services may still be available to customers of those wireless carriers as downloads from application stores, sales of our navigation services would likely be much more limited than if our navigation services were preloaded as a white label service actively marketed by the carrier or were included as part of a bundle of services. For example, commencing October 1, 2013 Sprint discontinued bundling of our mobile navigation services in its plans, which caused our revenue from Sprint subscribers to decline substantially as many of those subscribers did not purchase a subscription to our services through Sprint or an application store. Our inability to offer our navigation services through a white label offering or as part of a bundle on popular mobile phones would harm our operating results and financial condition.
Our ability to increase or maintain our end user base and revenue will be impaired if mobile phone manufacturers do not allow us to customize our services for their new devices.
We typically deliver our services through client software that has been customized to work with a given mobile phone’s operating system, features and form factors. Wireless carrier customers often insist that mobile phone manufacturers permit us to customize our client software for their devices in order to provide the end user with a positive experience. Wireless carriers or mobile phone manufacturers may enter into agreements with other providers of mobile location services for new or popular mobile phones. For this reason or others, some mobile phone manufacturers may refuse to permit us to access preproduction models of their mobile phones or the mobile phone manufacturers may offer a competing service. If mobile phone manufacturers do not permit us to customize our client software and preload it on their devices, we may have difficulty attracting end users because of poor user experiences or an inconvenient provisioning process. If we are unable to provide seamless provisioning or end users cancel their subscriptions to our services because they have poor experiences, our revenue may be harmed.
We rely on our customers for timely and accurate subscriber and vehicle sales information. A failure or disruption in the provisioning of this data to us would materially and adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively.
We rely on our wireless carrier customers to bill subscribers and collect monthly fees for our mobile navigation services, either directly or through third party service providers. In addition, we rely on our automotive and OEM customers to provide us with reports on the number of vehicles they sell with our on-board navigation services included and to remit royalties for those sales to us. If our customers or their third party service providers provide us with inaccurate data or experience errors or outages in their own billing and provisioning systems when performing these services, our revenue may be less than anticipated or may be subject to adjustment with the customer. In the past, we have experienced errors in wireless carrier reporting. If we are unable to identify and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner, our revenue may vary more than anticipated from period to period and this could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

46


We rely on a proprietary provisioning and reporting system to track end user activation, deactivation and usage data and any material failures in this system could harm our revenue, affect our costs and impair our ability to manage our business effectively.
Our provisioning and reporting system that authenticates end users and tracks the number of end users and their use of our services is a proprietary and customized system that we developed internally. Although we believe that the flexibility of this service to integrate tightly with wireless carriers’ reporting and provisioning systems gives us a competitive advantage, we might lose revenue and the ability to manage our business effectively if the system were to experience material failures or be unable to scale as our business grows. In addition, we may not be able to report our financial results on a timely basis if our customers question the accuracy of our records or we experience significant discrepancies between the data generated by our provisioning and reporting systems and data generated by their systems, or if our systems fail or we are unable to report timely and accurate information to our third party data providers. The inability to timely report our financial results would impair the quality of our financial reporting and could result in the delisting of our common stock.
We may incur further losses as we expand into other service and product areas and we may be unable to recoup our investments.
We currently receive a significant amount of our revenue from monthly subscription fees paid by wireless carrier customers who bill their subscribers for our services on a standalone or bundled basis. As we expanded our navigation service offerings to enable end users to purchase our services from application stores, we modified our revenue model to include an annual fee for services, which has resulted in, and we anticipate will continue to result in, lower gross margins and potentially larger net losses. In addition, as we expand into the automotive navigation market, we expect that the gross profit margins will continue to be lower than our historical gross profit margins. As we expand into mobile advertising and premium navigation services or other markets for location services, we may be required to adopt new pricing models and may incur cost of revenue substantially different than that which we have experienced historically due in part to third party content costs. These different pricing models and increased costs of revenue may result in declines in our gross margins, and we may incur larger net losses.
We have limited experience in selling our services and products outside of the wireless carrier application platform and automotive navigation market. As we expand into new service and product areas, and as the wireless carrier and auto market rapidly evolve, we may not be able to compete effectively with existing market participants, adjust our business operations to changing market conditions, and may not be able to realize a positive return on the investment we have made in these products or services. If our introduction of a new product or service is not successful or we are not able to achieve the revenue or margins we expect, our operating results may be harmed and we may not recover our product development and marketing expenditures.
If our end users increase their usage of our services, our operating loss may increase, or we may incur larger losses because we offer the service as a free offering or usage for paid offerings outpaces our expectations.
With limited exceptions, fees for the use of our services do not vary depending on whether or how often an end user uses our services, and we offer certain of our mobile phone based navigation services for free. Historically, end users using certain mobile phones or under certain service plans tended to use our services more than other end users. We budget and operate our services by making certain assumptions about usage patterns. If our end users were to further increase their usage of our services substantially or more end users access our services for free through a freemium model, we would incur additional expenses to expand our server capacity, operate additional data centers and pay additional third party content fees. These additional costs would harm our operating results and financial condition.
We rely on third party data and content to provide our services and if we were unable to obtain content at reasonable prices, or at all, our gross margins and our ability to provide our services would be harmed.
We rely on third party data and content to provide our services, including map data, POI, traffic information, gas prices and weather information. If our suppliers of this data or content were to enter into exclusive relationships with other providers of location services or were to discontinue providing such information and we were unable to replace them cost effectively, or at all, our ability to provide our services would be harmed. Our gross margins may also be affected if the cost of third party data and content increases substantially.
We obtain map data from TomTom and HERE, which are companies owned by our current and potential competitors TomTom and Nokia, respectively. Accordingly, these third party data and content providers may act in a manner that is not in our best interest. For example, they may cease to offer their map and POI data to us.
In the future, we may be unable to obtain certain data from Tom Tom and HERE if we cease using their map data and instead rely on OSM data, in a manner similar to the existing skobbler products. If we are unable to obtain other integral data from these providers, we may not be able to successfully launch OSM-based products.
We may not be able to upgrade our navigation services platform to support certain advanced features and functionality without obtaining technology licenses from third parties. Obtaining these licenses may be costly and may delay the introduction

47


of such features and functionality, and these licenses may not be available on commercially favorable terms, or at all. The inability to offer advanced features or functionality, or a delay in our ability to upgrade our navigation services platform, may adversely affect consumer demand for our navigation services and, consequently, harm our business.
We also use our proprietary provisioning and reporting system to record and report royalties we owe to third party providers of content used by end users in connection with our services. Certain of the third party content providers have the right to audit our use of their services and, if we were found to have under or incorrectly reported usage, we may be required to pay the third party content providers for the actual usage, as well as interest and the cost of the audit. Any significant error in our recording and payment of royalties to our third party content providers could have a material and adverse effect on our financial results. We may also incur losses as a result of any significant error.
Network failures, disruptions or capacity constraints in our third party data center facilities or in our servers or other cloud servers could affect the performance of our navigation services and harm our reputation and our revenue.
Our navigation services are provided through a combination of our servers, which we house at third party data centers, the public Internet and the private and wireless networks of our wireless carrier customers. Our operations rely to a significant degree on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of the third party data centers we use. Our hosted data centers are currently located in third party facilities located in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we use a cloud provider with locations in Oregon and Virginia for certain navigation and advertising network services. Depending on the growth rate in the number of our end users and their usage of our services, if we do not timely complete and open additional data centers, we may experience capacity issues, which could lead to service failures and disruptions. In addition, if we are unable to secure data center space with appropriate power, cooling and bandwidth capacity, we may be unable to efficiently and effectively scale our business to manage the addition of new wireless carrier customers, increases in the number of our end users or increases in data traffic.
Our data centers are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including fire, flood, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications or computer systems failure, human error, terrorist acts or other events. We have not yet completed a comprehensive business continuity plan and there can be no assurance that the measures implemented by us to date, or measures implemented by us in the future, to manage risks related to network failures or disruptions in our data centers will be adequate, or that the redundancies built into our servers will work as planned in the event of network failures or other disruptions. In particular, if we experienced damage or interruptions to our data centers in the San Francisco Bay Area our ability to provide efficient and uninterrupted operation of our services would be significantly impaired.
We could also experience failures of our data centers or interruptions of our services, or other problems in connection with our operations, as a result of:
damage to or failure of our computer software or hardware or our connections and outsourced service arrangements with third parties;
errors in the processing of data by our servers;
computer viruses or software defects;
physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events; or
errors by our employees or third party service providers.
Poor performance in or disruptions of our services could harm our reputation, delay market acceptance of our services and subject us to liabilities. Our wireless carrier agreements require us to meet at least 99.9% operational uptime requirements, excluding scheduled maintenance periods, or be subjected to penalties.
In addition, if our end user base continues to grow, additional strain will be placed on our technology systems and networks, which may increase the risk of a network disruption. Any outage in a network or system, or other unanticipated problem that leads to an interruption or disruption of our navigation services, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
We may not be able to enhance our navigation services to keep pace with technological and market developments, or develop new navigation services in a timely manner or at competitive prices.
The market for location services is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and short product life cycles. To keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasing customer requirements and achieve product acceptance, our future success depends upon our ability to enhance our current navigation services platform and to continue to develop and introduce new navigation service and product offerings and enhanced performance features and functionality on a timely basis at competitive prices. Our inability, for technological or other reasons, to enhance, develop, introduce or deliver compelling navigation services and products in a timely manner, or at all, in response to changing market conditions, technologies or consumer expectations could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or could result in our navigation services becoming obsolete. Our ability to compete successfully will

48


depend in large measure on our ability to maintain a technically skilled development and engineering team and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry, including providing for the continued compatibility of our navigation services platform with evolving industry standards and protocols and competitive network operating environments.
Our lengthy sales cycle makes it difficult for us to predict when we will generate revenue from wireless carrier and automobile manufacturer and OEM customers.
We have a lengthy and complex sales process for our mobile navigation and automotive navigation services. The integration and testing of our navigation services platform with a prospective wireless carrier requires substantial time and expense before launching our navigation services with that wireless carrier. In new geographic markets, our sales cycles are typically longer and may involve more challenges such as language or government regulation/compliance requirements. Even after a wireless carrier decides to launch our navigation services, the integration of our services platform with a wireless carrier’s network and billing systems generally requires several months to complete. Moreover, launch of our navigation services by a wireless carrier typically may be timed to coincide with a new mobile phone launch, over which we have no control.
In addition, being selected to participate and being designed into new vehicle models is a lengthy and time consuming process and our navigation services platform may not be included for factors beyond our control if we are participating in the vehicle design with an OEM. Because of these lengthy cycles, we may experience delays from the time we begin the sales process and incur increased costs and expenses to obtain a partner as a customer and integrate our navigation services platform until the time we generate revenue from such wireless carrier, OEM or automobile manufacturer. These delays may make it difficult to predict when we will generate revenue from new customers. For example, we announced in January 2014 that we had entered into an agreement with a top five worldwide automobile manufacturer but we do not anticipate generating revenue related to the sale of vehicles under this agreement until model year 2017 vehicles come to market in fiscal 2017.
A large percentage of our research and development operations are conducted in China and our ability to introduce new services and support our existing services cost effectively depends on our ability to manage those remote development sites successfully.
Our success depends on our ability to enhance our current services and develop new services and products rapidly and cost effectively. We currently have a majority of our research and development personnel in China and with the acquisition of skobbler, we have a development center in Romania. Although we have sought to retain certain key personnel by transferring them to our other locations, we may be unable to retain them over the long-term. In addition, we have been experiencing significant increases in compensation costs in China due to competitive market conditions for qualified staff, as well as higher risk of employee turnover in certain China markets.
We also expect that we may continue to consolidate certain of our operations or reduce our workforce if we are unable to sustain our current revenue due to the decline in wireless carrier revenue. These reorganizations or reductions in force could result in unexpected costs or delays in product development that could impair our ability to meet market windows or cause us to forego certain new product opportunities.
Because our long term success depends on our ability to increase the number of end users located outside of the United States, our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.
As of March 31, 2014, we had international operations in China, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and Romania. Our experience with wireless carriers and automobile manufacturers and OEMs outside the United States is limited. Our revenue from the United States comprised 94% and 92% of our total revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our limited experience in operating our business outside the United States increases the risk that our current and future international expansion efforts may not be successful. In particular, our business model may not be successful in particular countries or regions outside the United States for reasons that we currently do not anticipate. In addition, conducting international operations subjects us to risks that we have not generally faced in the United States. These include:
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements;
difficulties in managing the staffing of remote operations;
potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems, foreign tax withholding, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings and changes in tax rates;
dependence on foreign wireless carriers with different pricing models;
roaming charges to end users;
availability of reliable 2G, 3G and 4G mobile networks in those countries;

49


requirements that we comply with local telecommunication regulations and automobile hands free laws in those countries;
the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and different legal standards;
increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;
political, social and economic instability in some jurisdictions;
terrorist attacks and security concerns in general; and
reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries.
The occurrence of any one of these risks could negatively affect our international business and, consequently, our operating results. Additionally, operating in international markets requires significant management attention and financial resources. We cannot be certain that the investment and additional resources required to establish, acquire or integrate operations in other countries will produce desired levels of revenue or profitability and we may incur larger losses as a result.
We rely on our management team and need specialized personnel to grow our business, and the loss of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could harm our business.
Our success and future growth depend on the skills, working relationships and continued services of our management team. Our future performance will depend on our ability to continue to retain our senior management, particularly in the growth areas of our business, such as advertising.
Our future success also will depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled personnel in the United States and internationally. All of our U.S. employees work for us on an at will basis. Competition for highly skilled personnel is intense, particularly in the software industry and for persons with experience with GPS and location services. The high degree of competition for personnel we experience has resulted in and may also continue to result in the incurrence of significantly higher compensation costs to attract, hire and retain employees. We have from time to time experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in attracting, hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. In addition, existing employees often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If our stock price performs poorly, it may adversely affect our ability to retain highly skilled employees. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could adversely affect our business and future growth prospects.
We may be required to incur unanticipated capital expenditures.
Circumstances may arise that require us to make unanticipated capital expenditures, including:
the implementation of our equipment at new data centers and expansion of our operations at data centers;
the replacement of outdated or failing equipment; and
the acquisition of key technologies to support or expand our navigation services.
We rely on network infrastructures provided by our wireless carrier customers and mobile phones for the delivery of our mobile navigation services to end users.
We generally provide our navigation services from our own servers, which require close integration with the wireless carriers’ networks. We may be unable to provide high quality services if the wireless carriers’ networks perform poorly or experience delayed response times. Our future success will depend on the availability and quality of our wireless carrier customers’ networks in the United States and abroad to run our mobile navigation services. This includes deployment and maintenance of reliable networks with the speed, data capacity and security necessary to provide reliable wireless communications services. We do not establish or maintain these wireless networks and have no control over interruptions or failures in the deployment and maintenance by wireless carrier customers of their network infrastructure. In addition, these wireless network infrastructures may be unable to support the demands placed on them if the number of subscribers increases, or if existing or future subscribers increase their use of limited bandwidth. Market acceptance of our mobile navigation services will depend in part on the quality of these wireless networks and the ability of our wireless carrier customers to effectively manage their subscribers’ expectations.
Wireless communications have experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of infrastructure and equipment failures and could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could affect our ability to provide our navigation services successfully. In addition, changes by a wireless carrier to its network infrastructure may interfere with the integration of our servers with their network and delivery of our navigation services and may cause end users to lose functionality for services they have already purchased. Any of the foregoing could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

50


We cannot control the quality standards of our wireless carrier customers, their mobile phone providers and other technology customers. We cannot guarantee that the mobile phones are free from errors or defects. If errors or defects occur in mobile phones or services offered by our wireless carrier customers, it could result in consumers terminating our services, damage to our reputation, increased customer service and support costs, warranty claims, lost revenue and diverted development resources, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Mergers, consolidations or other strategic transactions in the wireless communications industry could weaken our competitive position, reduce the number of our map providers and adversely affect our business.
The mapping data industry continues to experience consolidation. Should one of our map providers consolidate or enter into an alliance with another navigation provider, this could have a material adverse impact on our business. Currently, two of our map suppliers are owned by competitors in the navigation space and recently the mobile phone business of Nokia, which had its own navigation service and owns HERE, was acquired by Microsoft. Such a consolidation may cause us to lose a map supplier or require us to increase the royalties we pay to map vendors as a result of enhanced supplier leverage, which would have a negative effect on our business. We may be unable to replace our map suppliers, were we to lose a map supplier, and the remaining map supplier may increase license fees. In addition, if we commence using OSM-based maps and no longer purchase maps from those suppliers, we may be unable to purchase other data that is integral to our mobile navigation products from our existing map suppliers.
Reduced expenditures for mobile phones, wireless services or new vehicles due to adverse or uncertain economic conditions may negatively affect our business and results of operations.
Recent adverse economic conditions and future uncertainties may directly affect the marketing and distribution of mobile phones and our navigation services by our wireless carrier customers and purchase of our automobile manufacturer customer’s new vehicles. As current and future conditions in the domestic and global economies remain uncertain, it is difficult to estimate the level of economic growth, which may cause some wireless carriers to emphasize marketing basic voice services rather than data services, such as mobile navigation services. In addition, subscribers may try to reduce their monthly expenses by reducing spending on discretionary wireless services, such as ours. In addition, with an increasing percentage of our revenue coming from automobile navigation products purchased in connection with the purchase of a new vehicle, we may experience a decline in revenue if spending on new vehicles is impacted due to economic conditions. Accordingly, the future direction of the overall domestic and global economies will have an impact on our overall performance. Economic conditions are beyond our control. If these economic conditions worsen or fail to improve, we may experience reduced demand for and pricing pressure on our navigation services, which could harm our operating results.
Changes in business direction and market conditions could lead to charges related to structural reorganization and discontinuation of certain products or services, which may adversely affect our financial results.
In response to changing market conditions and the desire to focus on new and more potentially attractive opportunities, we may be required to strategically realign our resources and consider restructuring, eliminating, or otherwise exiting certain business activities. For example, in April 2013, we sold our enterprise business to a third party, which resulted in a net gain to us but also required us to provide transition services to the buyer. In connection with the sale of our enterprise business, we terminated seven employees who were not offered positions by the buyer and we incurred severance costs as a result. Any decision to reduce investment in, dispose of, or otherwise exit business activities may result in the recording of special charges, such as workforce reduction and excessive facility space costs.
Risks related to our intellectual property and regulation
We operate in an industry with extensive intellectual property litigation. Claims of infringement against us, our customers, or other business partners may cause our business, operating results and financial condition to suffer.
Our commercial success depends in part upon us, our partners and our customers not infringing intellectual property rights owned by others and being able to resolve claims of intellectual property infringement without major financial expenditures and/or need to alter our technologies or cease certain activities. We operate in an industry with extensive intellectual property litigation and it is not uncommon for our wireless carrier customers, handset manufacturing partners, automobile manufacturers and OEMs and competitors to be involved in infringement lawsuits by or against third parties. Many industry participants that own, or claim to own, intellectual property aggressively assert their rights, and our customers and other business partners, who we agree in certain circumstances to indemnify for intellectual property infringement claims related to our services, are often targets of such assertions. We cannot determine with certainty whether any existing or future third party intellectual property rights would require us to alter our technologies, obtain licenses or cease certain activities.
We have received, and may in the future receive, claims from third parties alleging infringement and other related claims. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were named as a defendant in several cases alleging that our services

51


infringe other parties' patents, as well as other matters. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” for a description of these matters. These cases and future litigation may make it necessary to defend ourselves and our customers and other business partners by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish our proprietary rights. Some of our competitors may have substantially greater resources than we do and may be able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for longer periods of time than we could. In addition, patent holding companies that focus solely on extracting royalties and settlements by enforcing patent rights may target us, our wireless carrier customers or our other business partners. These companies typically have little or no product revenue and therefore our patents may provide little or no deterrence against such companies filing patent infringement lawsuits against us. Regardless of whether claims that we are infringing patents or other intellectual property rights have any merit, these claims are time consuming and costly to evaluate and defend and could:
adversely affect our relationships with our current or future customers and other business partners;
cause delays or stoppages in the shipment of Telenav enabled or preloaded mobile phones or vehicles, or cause us to modify or suspend the provision of our navigation services;
cause us to incur significant expenses in defending claims brought against our customers, other business partners or us;
divert management's attention and resources;
subject us to significant damages or settlements;
require us to enter into settlements, royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms; or
require us or our business partners to cease certain activities and/or modify our products or services.

In addition to liability for monetary damages against us or, in certain circumstances, our customers, we may be prohibited from developing, commercializing or continuing to provide certain of our navigation services unless we obtain licenses from the holders of the patents or other intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we do not obtain such licenses, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and we could, for example, be required to cease offering our navigation services or be required to materially alter our navigation services, which could involve substantial costs and time to develop.
Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement, damages caused by defective software and other losses.
Our agreements with our customers include indemnification provisions. We agree to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred in connection with our navigation services or products, including as a result of intellectual property infringement, damages caused by defects and damages caused by viruses, worms and other malicious software. The term of these indemnity provisions is generally perpetual after execution of the corresponding agreement, and the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is generally substantial and may be unlimited. In addition, some of these agreements permit our indemnitees to terminate their agreements with us if they determine that the use of our navigation services or products infringes third party intellectual property.
We have received, and expect to receive in the future, demands for indemnification under these agreements. These demands can be very expensive to settle or defend, and we have in the past incurred substantial legal fees and settlement costs in connection with certain of these indemnity demands. Furthermore, we have been notified by several customers that they have been named as defendants in certain patent infringement cases for which they may seek indemnification from us. See the section entitled “Legal Proceedings.” These indemnity demands remain outstanding and unresolved as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Large future indemnity payments and associated legal fees and expenses, including potential indemnity payments and legal fees and expenses relating to the current or future notifications, could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may in the future agree to defend and indemnify our customers in connection with the pending notifications or future demands, irrespective of whether we believe that we have an obligation to indemnify them or whether we believe that our services and products infringe the asserted intellectual property rights. Alternatively, we may reject certain of our customers’ indemnity demands, which may lead to disputes with our customers and may negatively impact our relationships with them or result in litigation against us. Our customers may also claim that any rejection of their indemnity demands constitutes a material breach of our agreements with them, allowing them to terminate such agreements. Our agreements with certain customers may be terminated in the event an infringement claim is made against us and it is reasonably determined that there is a possibility our technology or services infringed upon a third party’s rights. If, as a result of indemnity demands, we make substantial payments, our relationships with our customers are negatively impacted or if any of our customer agreements is terminated, our

52


business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings.”
The occurrence or perception of a security breach or disclosure of confidential information could harm our business.
Our navigation services include the transmission and storage of personal, private and confidential information primarily related to the location of our end users. If there is a security breach or if there is an inappropriate disclosure of any of these types of information, we could be exposed to investigations, litigation, fines and penalties. Remediation of and liability for loss or misappropriation of end user or employee personal information could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. Even if we were not held liable for such event, a security breach or inappropriate disclosure of personal, private or confidential information could harm our reputation and our relationships with current and potential end users. Even the perception of a security risk could inhibit market acceptance of our navigation services. In addition, we may be required to invest additional resources to protect against damages caused by any actual or perceived disruptions of our navigation services or security breaches.
Recent United States Supreme Court and other litigation has addressed issues relating to providing information regarding the location of a vehicle or mobile device to law enforcement agencies without a warrant. The law related to mobile phones and integrated GPS tracking in a vehicle remains unsettled and we may be subjected to different standards in different jurisdictions. We may incur substantial costs if we are required to litigate whether an individual's location can be disclosed without a warrant, which could harm our operating results. We may also be required to provide information about the location of an end user’s mobile phone to government authorities, which could result in public perception that we are providing the government with intelligence information and deter some end users from using our services. Any of these developments could harm our business.
Changes in government regulation of the wireless communications industry and the automobile industry may adversely affect our business.
It is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted in the United States and elsewhere that could restrict the wireless communications industry or further regulate the automobile industry, including laws and regulations regarding lawful interception of personal data, hands free use of mobile phones or navigation services within autos or the control of such use, privacy, taxation, content suitability, copyright and antitrust. Furthermore, the growth and development of electronic storage of personal information may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies such as ours that store personal information. We anticipate that regulation of our industry will increase and that we will be required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation. Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding the wireless communications or automobile industries may make operation more costly, and may materially reduce our ability to increase or maintain sales of our navigation services.
We may become subject to significant product liability costs.
If our navigation services or products contain defects, there are errors in the maps supplied by third party map providers or if our end users do not heed our warnings about the proper use of these products, collisions or accidents could occur resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. If any of these events occurs, we could be subject to significant liability for personal injury and property damage and under certain circumstances could be subject to a judgment for punitive damages. We maintain limited insurance against accident related risks involving our products. However, we cannot assure you that this insurance would be sufficient to cover the cost of damages to others or will continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, we may be named as a defendant in litigation by consumers individually or on behalf of a class if their handsets or automobiles suffer problems from software downloads from our customers. If we are unable to obtain indemnification from our customer for any damages or legal fees we may incur in connection with such complaints, our financial position may be adversely impacted. In addition, insurance coverage generally will not cover awards of punitive damages and may not cover the cost of associated legal fees and defense costs. If we are unable to maintain sufficient insurance to cover product liability costs or if our insurance coverage does not cover an award, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Government regulation designed to protect end user privacy may make it difficult for us to provide our services or adopt advertising based revenue models.
We transmit and store a large volume of personal information in the course of providing our navigation services. This information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world. This government action is typically intended to protect the privacy and security of personal information that is collected, stored and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction.
Legislation may also be adopted in various jurisdictions that prohibits use of personal information and search histories to target end users with tailored advertising, or provide advertising at all. Although our advertising revenue to date is not

53


significant, we anticipate we will continue to grow advertising revenue in the future to improve average revenue per user in certain markets.
We could be adversely affected if domestic or international legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in our business practices or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or regulations in ways that negatively affect our business. For example, the USA PATRIOT Act provides certain rights to U.S. law enforcement authorities to obtain personal information in the control of U.S. persons and entities without notifying the affected individuals. If we are required to allocate significant resources to modify the delivery of our services to enable enhanced legal interception of the personal information that we transmit and store, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
In addition, because various foreign jurisdictions have different laws and regulations concerning the storage and transmission of personal information, we may face unknown requirements that pose compliance challenges in new international markets that we seek to enter. Such variation could subject us to costs, delayed service launches, liabilities or negative publicity that could impair our ability to expand our operations into some countries and therefore limit our future growth.
As privacy and data protection have become more sensitive issues, we may also become exposed to potential liabilities as a result of differing views on the privacy of personal information. These and other privacy concerns could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our competitive position and our business could be harmed.
We rely primarily on a combination of patent laws, trademark laws, copyright laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology. However, our issued patents and any future patents that may issue may not survive a legal challenge to their scope, validity or enforceability, or provide significant protection for us. The failure of our patents to adequately protect our technology might make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products or technologies. In addition, patents may not issue from any of our current or any future applications.
Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly. The steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. We may not be able to detect unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Our competitors may also independently develop similar technology. In addition, the laws of many countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States. Any failure by us to meaningfully protect our intellectual property could result in competitors offering products that incorporate our most technologically advanced features, which could seriously reduce demand for our navigation services. In addition, we may in the future need to initiate infringement claims or litigation. Litigation, whether we are a plaintiff or a defendant, can be expensive, time consuming and may divert the efforts of our technical staff and managerial personnel, which could harm our business, whether or not such litigation results in a determination favorable to us.
Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information.
We have devoted substantial resources to the development of our proprietary technology, including the proprietary software components of our navigation services and related processes. In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, licensees, independent contractors and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. Costly and time consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.
We use open source software in our navigation services platform and client applications and may use more open source software in the future. Use of open source software may subject our navigation services platform and client applications to general release or require us to re-engineer our navigation services platform and client applications, which may cause harm to our business. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their products. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the open source software and that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of a particular open source license or other license granting third parties certain rights of further use. If we combine our proprietary software products with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain of the open source licenses, be required to release our proprietary source code. In addition to risks related to license requirements, usage of open source software can lead to greater risks than use of third party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on origin of the software. Open source license terms may

54


be ambiguous and many of the risks associated with usage of open source cannot be eliminated, and could, if not properly addressed, negatively affect our business. If we were found to have inappropriately used open source software, we may be required to release our proprietary source code, re-engineer our navigation services platform and client applications, discontinue the sale of our service in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis or take other remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Risks related to being a publicly traded company and holding our common stock
As a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not always complete our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or such internal control may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we test our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures annually. For example, as of June 30, 2013, we performed system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our compliance with Section 404 requires that we incur substantial expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in the future, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock may decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NASDAQ Global Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require significant additional financial and management resources.
We will incur continued high 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 incur significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses, 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 SEC and the stock exchange on which our common stock is traded. We are generally not eligible to report under reduced disclosure requirements or benefit from longer phase in periods for “emerging growth companies” as such term is defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Act of 2012. The expenses incurred by public companies for reporting and corporate governance purposes have increased dramatically over the past several years. We expect these rules and regulations to continue to impact our legal and financial compliance costs substantially and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We are unable currently to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. We also expect that, over time, it may be more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. 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 if we cannot provide a level of insurance coverage that they believe is adequate.
Regulations relating to offshore investment activities by residents of China may limit our ability to acquire Chinese companies and could adversely affect our business.
In October 2005, SAFE, a Chinese government agency, promulgated “Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Corporate Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Offshore Special Purpose Vehicles,” or Circular 75, that states that if Chinese residents use assets or equity interests in their Chinese entities as capital contributions to establish offshore companies or inject assets or equity interests of their Chinese entities into offshore companies to raise capital overseas, they must register with local SAFE branches with respect to their overseas investments in offshore companies. They must also file amendments to their registrations if their offshore companies experience material events involving capital variation, such as changes in share capital, share transfers, mergers and acquisitions, spinoff transactions, long term equity or debt investments or uses of assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations. Under this regulation, their failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth in such regulation may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant Chinese entity, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent, as well as restrictions on the capital inflow from the offshore entity to the Chinese entity.
We attempt to comply, and attempt to ensure that our stockholders who are subject to Circular 75 and other related rules comply, with the relevant requirements. However, we cannot provide any assurances that all of our stockholders who are Chinese residents have complied or will comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or comply with other requirements required by Circular 75 or other related rules. Any future failure by any of our stockholders who is a Chinese resident, or controlled by a Chinese resident, to comply with relevant requirements under this regulation could subject us to fines or sanctions imposed by the Chinese government, including restrictions on our Chinese subsidiary’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions to us.

55


If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they publish negative evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline.
We expect that the trading price for our common stock will be affected by any research or reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who may elect to cover us downgrade their evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline. For example, in late July 2011, following our earnings release for the three months and fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, several financial analysts published research reports lowering their price targets of our stock. After our announcement and the publication of these reports, our stock price fell more than 40%. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, our stock may lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause its price to decline. If our stock were to trade at prices below $5.00 per share in the future as a result of an announcement, financial analysts may terminate coverage of our company due to internal policies within their investment banks, which could result in further stock price declines.
Our stock price has fluctuated significantly and may continue to fluctuate in the future.
Our common stock was sold in our IPO at $8.00 per share. Although our common stock has traded at prices as high as $22.07 per share, it has also traded at prices as low as $4.65 and has tended to have significant downward and upward price movements in a relatively short time period. Future fluctuations or declines in the trading price of our common stock may result from a number of events or factors, including those discussed in the preceding risk factors relating to our operations, as well as:
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
changes in the financial projections we may provide to the public or our failure to meet these projections;
announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, relationship changes with key customers, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital raising activities or capital commitments;
the public’s response to our press releases or other public announcements, including our filings with the SEC;
lawsuits threatened or filed against us; and
large distributions of our common stock by significant stockholders to limited partners or others who immediately resell the shares.
General market conditions and domestic or international macroeconomic factors unrelated to our performance, such as the continuing unprecedented volatility in the financial markets, may also affect our stock price. For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent trends to predict future stock prices or financial results. Investors in our common stock may not be able to dispose of the shares they purchased at prices above the IPO price, or, depending on market conditions, at all.
In addition, if the market price of our common stock falls below $5.00 per share, under stock exchange rules, our stockholders will not be able to use such shares as collateral for borrowing in margin accounts. Further, certain institutional investors are restricted from investing in shares priced below $5.00 per share. This inability to use shares of our common stock as collateral and the inability of certain institutional investors to invest in our shares may depress demand and lead to sales of such shares creating downward pressure on and increased volatility in the market price of our common stock.

Recently, the market price for our common stock has traded only slightly above the cash value of our common stock. If investors do not value our company as an ongoing business and only value it for the cash on our balance sheet, our stock price may decline if we continue to incur net losses and use our cash to fund operations. We may also attract investors who are looking for short-term gains in our shares rather than being interested in our long-term outlook. As a result, the price of our common stock may be volatile.
The concentration of ownership of our capital stock limits your ability to influence corporate matters.
Our executive officers, directors, current 5% or greater stockholders and entities affiliated with them beneficially owned (as determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC) approximately 28.8% of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders. Also, these stockholders, acting together, will be able to control our management and affairs and matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Consequently, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, including a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if that change of control would benefit our other stockholders.

Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On January 29, 2014, we issued 731,623 shares of our common stock to certain stockholders of skobbler as partial consideration for the acquisition of skobbler. We also issued 634,920 restricted stock units, or RSUs, to certain employees of skobbler as inducement for such employees to continue employment with skobbler. Such issuances of RSUs were made as “inducement grants” pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The issuances of our common stock and RSUs were deemed to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, on the basis that, among other factors: (1) each of the recipients of the restricted stock units was a non-US person (as that term is defined in Regulation S); (2) there was no general solicitation or advertising in connection with the issuance of the common stock or the restricted stock units; (3) we determined that each of the recipients of the restricted stock units had enough knowledge and experience to evaluate the risks and merits of the investment; and (4) each of the recipients of the common stock and restricted stock units represented that it understood that the shares underlying the restricted stock units had not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred in the absence of registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The RSUs will vest with respect to 50% of each grant on the first anniversary of the date of the acquisition of skobbler and the remaining 50% of the grant on the second anniversary of the date of the acquisition, subject to continued employment through such relevant date.
