DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

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 84 Internet Protocol (“IP”) service points, which include 25 content delivery network (“CDN”) points of presence (“POPs”).

The nature of our business subjects us to certain risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by rapidly evolving markets. These risks are described in “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We have a history of quarterly and annual period net losses, including for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, our accumulated deficit was $1.0 billion. However, during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of $43.7 million, $28.6 million and $39.6 million, respectively.
