NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Internap Network Services Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” or “Internap”) provides intelligent information technology (“IT”) Infrastructure services that combine superior performance and platform flexibility to enable our customers to focus on their core business, improve service levels and lower the cost of IT operations. We provide services at 43 data centers across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region and through 83 Internet Protocol (“IP”) service points, which include 25 content delivery network (“CDN”) points of presence (“POPs”).

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These financial statements include all of our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances in the accompanying financial statements.

We have condensed or omitted certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2012 and our operating results, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read the accompanying financial statements and the related notes in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods.
