NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Internap Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” “INAP,” or “the Company”) provides Internet infrastructure through both Colocation Business and Enterprise Services (including colocation, network connectivity, IP, bandwidth, and managed services and hosting), and Cloud Services (including enterprise-grade AgileCLOUD, bare-metal servers, and SMB iWeb platforms). INAP operates in Tier 3-type data centers in 21 metropolitan markets, primarily in North America, with 50 datacenters and 89 POPs around the world. Currently, INAP has approximately one million gross square feet under lease, with 500,000 square feet of data center space. INAP operates a premium business model that provides high-power density colocation, low-latency bandwidth, and public and private cloud platforms in an expanding Internet infrastructure industry.

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 annual 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 unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2017 and our operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 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, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 2017 fiscal year or any future periods.
