<td> </td></tr></table> At December 31, 2009, the Company held approximately $17.1 million (par value), respectively, of auction rate securities investments in municipal notes. These investments were reclassified to trading securities from available-for-sale securities in the fourth quarter of 2008. Accordingly, they were valued at fair value as of December 31, 2009. The Company's auction rate securities had an auction reset feature whose underlying assets are generally student loans which are insured in part by the federal government under the Federal Family Education Loan Programs (FFELP). In February 2008, auctions began to fail for these securities and each auction since then has failed. On June 30, 2010, the Company exercised its right to redeem its remaining $5.7 million of ARS at par value. As a result the Company received $5.7 million from UBS on July 1, 2010. During 2010, the Company recorded a gain of $0.2 million related to the ARS and ARS Rights due to changes in the estimated fair value of each investment. During 2009, the Company recorded a gain of $0.3 million related to the ARS and ARS Rights due to changes in the estimated fair value of each investment. The ARS Rights and the ARS, which are classified as trading securities, are recorded in current other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, is used as follows: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level III) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. At December 31, 2010, the Company does not have assets or liabilities to measure at fair value on a recurring basis. At December 31, 2009, the Company's ARS and ARS Rights are valued based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data. As a result of auction failures related to the auction rate securities during 2009, market inputs were not available as of December 31, 2009. A discounted cash flow model was therefore been used to determine the estimated fair value of the Company's investment in ARS as of December 31, 2009. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include estimates for interest rates, discount rates and timing and amounts of cash flows, including assumptions about the expected holding periods of these securities. Such instruments are generally classified as Level III in the fair value hierarchy. The discounted cash flow model that takes into consideration the following factors among others:   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> the anticipated coupon rate for the securities; </td></tr></table>   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> a market-based discount rate; </td></tr></table>   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> an illiquidity premium; and </td></tr></table>   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="5%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left">•</td> <td valign="top" width="1%"> </td> <td valign="top" align="left"> an anticipated workout period, or the likely timeframe to redemption or liquidation in the open market. </td></tr></table> The Company's ARS Rights were valued by determining the value of the underlying ARS on a stand-alone basis compared to their value along with the ARS Rights.

<div> 12.    BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS On October 1, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Tinet. The total cash paid for the acquisition was $103.1 million, comprised of $77.4 million, in cash, paid on October 1, 2010 for the outstanding shares of Tinet's capital stock, repayment of $31.1 million of Tinet's debt as part of the closing and $5.4 million in cash acquired. The Company recorded approximately $4.0 million for acquisition related costs, including legal, accounting and advisory services in its statement of income under general and administrative expenses. In the period between the acquisition date and December 31, 2010, Tinet generated approximately $16.1 million of revenue and $0.9 million of operating income. Tinet is a global carrier exclusively committed to the IP and Ethernet wholesale market which provides global IP transit and Ethernet connectively to carriers, service providers and content providers worldwide. With this acquisition, the Company evolved from being a primarily U.S. voice interconnection company into being a global IP-based network services company focused on delivering global connectivity for a variety of media, including voice, data and video. These factors contributed to the goodwill recognized. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary, based on initial accounting of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair vales on the acquisition date of October 1, 2010. The final allocation of the purchase price may result in adjustments to the recognized amounts of intangible assets and deferred taxes, which could be significant.

We purchased the minimum amount of service in 2010 and 2009 in the ordinary course of business. There was no purchase commitment as of December 31, 2008. We have a service agreement with a major telecommunications service provider, where we have committed to purchase a minimum amount of service beginning in 2011 through 2015. Indefeasible right of use operating expense Commitment—We have a number of indefeasible rights of use (IRUs) which represent contractual agreements between the operators of a communications cable or between the operator of a communications cable and a customer that needs this capacity to provide telecom services. It is defined as the exclusive, unrestricted and indefeasible right to use the relevant capacity (including equipment, fibers or capacity) for any legal purpose. With the right to use the IRUs comes an obligation to pay a proportion of the operating cost and contractually defined amounts related to the cost of maintaining the cable, including any costs incurred repairing the cable after mishaps. These contracts extend through 2019. Legal Proceedings—From time to time, the Company is a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. Aside from the matters discussed below, management does not believe that the Company is party to any pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business or operating results. Peerless Network, Inc. Proceeding in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois On June 12, 2008, we commenced a patent infringement action against Peerless Network, Inc., Peerless Network of Illinois, LLC, and John Barnicle (collectively, Peerless Network) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to enforce U.S. Patent No. 7,123,708 (the '708 Patent) (Neutral Tandem, Inc. v Peerless Network, Inc., Peerless Network of Illinois, LLC and John Barnicle, 08 CV 3402). On July 28, 2008, Peerless Network filed a response to our complaint denying liability and asserting various affirmative defenses and counterclaims. Peerless Network generally alleges (i) that the '708 Patent is invalid and unenforceable under a variety of theories, (ii) that assertion of the '708 Patent amounts to patent misuse and violation of certain monopolization laws, and (iii) that certain conduct surrounding the litigation gave rise to tortious interference and business disparagement claims and Lanham Act violations. On December 4, 2008, the court granted our motion to dismiss the claims alleging business disparagement and Lanham Act violations but denied our motion to dismiss the claims related to the allegations of tortious interference and alleged violation of certain monopolization laws. On January 27, 2010, the court issued an order construing each of the disputed terms in the patent in the manner we had proposed. On March 30, 2010, the court issued an order denying our motion dated August 25, 2009 for preliminary injunctive relief which sought to enjoin Peerless Network from providing certain tandem transit services. On April 27, 2010, the court issued an order denying without prejudice the motion of Peerless Network seeking leave to file a motion to stay the patent litigation. Peerless Network sought to stay the patent litigation pending the inter partes reexamination by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the USPTO) of the validity of the '708 Patent, which is discussed below. On June 1, 2010, Peerless Network filed a renewed motion asking the court to extend the trial date by nine months or stay proceedings pending the inter partes reexamination by the USPTO of the validity of the '708 Patent. The court heard the motion on June 8, 2010. After hearing the motion, the court issued an order that we believe in substance removed the previously scheduled September 2010 trial date from the court's calendar. However, the court also ordered that proceedings on the parties' respective motions for summary judgment would continue, and the court set a ruling date on the parties' summary judgment motions for September 1, 2010. On September 2, 2010, the court issued an opinion and order granting Peerless Network's motion for summary judgment. The court found that the '708 Patent is invalid in light of a prior patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,137,800. In light of the summary judgment ruling, the court denied our request to reinstate the trial date as moot. The court's September 2, 2010 order also denied our motion for summary judgment. We sought summary judgment on our claim that Peerless Network infringed the '708 Patent, as well as summary judgment on Peerless Network's claim that the '708 Patent is unenforceable. At a hearing on September 22, 2010, the court allowed us to file a new motion for summary judgment on Peerless Network's claim that the '708 Patent is unenforceable. The court also dismissed Counts IV-VII of Peerless Network's counterclaims, which were claims against us based on allegations of monopolization, monopoly leveraging, violations of the Illinois Antitrust Act, and tortious interference with prospective business relations. Briefing on our new motion for summary judgment was completed on October 27, 2010. On December 9, 2010, the court issued an opinion and order granting our motion for summary judgment on Peerless's claim that the '708 Patent was unenforceable based on alleged "inequitable conduct" and "patent misuse." The court entered a final judgment with respect to all claims in the litigation on December 17, 2010. On December 20, 2010, we filed notice that we plan to appeal the court's order granting Peerless Network's motion for summary judgment and finding that the '708 Patent is invalid. On January 13, 2011, Peerless Network filed notice that it will cross-appeal the court's order granting our motion for summary judgment and finding that the '708 Patent is not unenforceable, as well as the court's earlier ruling construing disputed terms of the patent in our favor. We currently anticipate that briefing on the parties' cross-appeals will be completed in approximately July 2011, though that schedule is subject to change. Inter Partes Proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office In a separate proceeding, on January 28, 2010, Peerless Network filed a request with the USPTO requesting that the USPTO reexamine the '708 Patent. On March 26, 2010, the USPTO granted Peerless Network's inter partes reexamination request and issued an initial office action which rejected the '708 Patent's 23 claims. The claims of the '708 Patent as originally issued by the USPTO remain valid and enforceable during the USPTO reexamination proceeding. Under the USPTO's rules, we were not allowed to respond to Peerless Network's request prior to the USPTO's initial determination.   On May 20, 2010, the USPTO granted our request to extend the time by which we must file our response to the March 26, 2010 office action from May 26, 2010 to July 26, 2010. On April 12, 2010, we moved separately to suspend the inter partes reexamination proceeding in its entirety, pending resolution of the litigation between us and Peerless Network. On June 30, 2010, the USPTO denied our petition seeking to suspend the separate reexamination proceeding. Although the USPTO did not suspend the reexamination proceeding, the USPTO stated in its decision, among other things, that it is "appropriate to continue both [the reexamination and litigation] proceedings to obtain the results and benefits of each, as they accrue." On July 26, 2010, we responded to the USPTO's March 26, 2010 office action. On November 24, 2010, the USPTO issued an action closing prosecution, in which the USPTO maintained its rejection of the '708 Patent's 23 original claims, as well as 35 additional claims added to the '708 Patent in our July 26, 2010 response. On January 7, 2011, we filed a response to the USPTO's November 24, 2010 action closing prosecution. Thereafter, Peerless Network filed comments in opposition to our response on February 4, 2011. After reviewing our response and Peerless Network's comments, the USPTO may allow the claims of the '708 Patent to issue in their current form, require further amendments to the claims, or reject the claims. Thereafter, there may be further proceedings at the USPTO regarding the validity of the claims of the '708 Patent. According to statistics provided by the USPTO, the average time to completion of a reexamination proceeding (not including any appeals) is approximately 36 months. The reexamination proceeding could result in the USPTO determining that some or all of the claims in the '708 Patent remain patentable over the prior art without requiring any amendment, that some or all of the claims must be amended to distinguish over the prior art, or that some or all of the claims are not patentable over the prior art. Since the Company is unable to predict the outcome of Peerless Network's claim that the '708 Patent is unenforceable, the Company has not recorded a liability associated with this claim. </div>

<div> 5.    DEBT In May 2004, the Company entered into an equipment loan and security agreement with an affiliate of Western Technology Investment (WTI) that provided for borrowings of up to $4.0 million for the Company's capital purchases through July 31, 2004. The agreement was amended in December 2004 to allow for an additional $5.5 million of borrowings and amended in January 2006 to allow for $10.0 million of additional borrowings for an aggregate of $19.5 million. The Company made the final principal and interest payment on March 1, 2010. Under the terms of its debt agreement, the Company had to comply with certain negative covenants that limited its ability to declare or pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, dispose of significant assets, make acquisitions or significantly change the nature of its business without the permission of the lender. For the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants under its debt agreements. The Company uses cash collateralized letters of credit issued by Bank of America, N.A. to secure certain facility leases and other obligations. At December 31, 2010 there was $1.0 million of restricted cash used as collateral for $1.0 million in letters of credit outstanding. </div>

<div> 11.    STOCK OPTIONS AND NON-VESTED SHARES The Company established the 2003 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (2003 Plan), which provided for issuance of up to 4,650,000 options and non-vested shares to eligible employees, officers, and independent contractors of the Company. In 2007 the Company adopted the Neutral Tandem, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (2007 Plan) and ceased awarding equity grants under the 2003 plan. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had granted a total of 833,915 options that remained outstanding under the 2003 Plan. At December 31, 2010, the Company had granted a total of 2,350,250 options that remained outstanding under the 2007 Plan. During 2010, the Company cancelled 9,250 options related to the 2007 Plan. Equity awards for 522,018 shares, representing approximately 1.6% of the Company's outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2010, remained available for additional grants under the 2007 Plan. The Company records stock-based compensation expense in connection with any grant of options and non-vested shares to its employees. The Company calculates the expense associated with its stock options and non-vested shares by determining the fair value of the options and non-vested shares. All options granted under the 2003 Plan and the 2007 Plan have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table shows the exercise price of one share of the Company's common stock on each stock option grant date during the years ended December 31, 2009 and the December 31, 2010:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="60%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="14%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="14%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> Grant Date</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Number of Stock Options Issued</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Weighted average Exercise Price of One Share of Common Stock</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> First Quarter 2009</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">23,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">19.50</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Second Quarter 2009</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">13,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">28.90</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Third Quarter 2009</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">812,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">26.06</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Fourth Quarter 2009</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">34,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">23.17</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> First Quarter 2010</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">35,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">17.67</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Second Quarter 2010</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">19,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">14.94</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Third Quarter 2010</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Fourth Quarter 2010</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">53,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">13.28</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Total</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">989,000</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr></table>   The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black- Scholes option-pricing model.

estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from current estimates. In 2010, the Company's estimated forfeiture rate was 5.5%. The unrecognized compensation cost associated with options outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $13.1 million and $19.0 million, respectively. The weighted average remaining term that the compensation will be recorded is 2.2 years and 3.0 years as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Non-vested Shares During 2010, the Company's Board of Directors granted approximately 0.8 million non-vested shares to members of the Company's executive management team as well as various employees within the Company. The non-vested shares were issued as part of the 2007 Plan. The shares typically vest over a four-year period. The fair value of the non-vested shares is determined using the Company's closing stock price on the grant date. Compensation cost, measured using the grant date fair value, is recognized over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis.   A summary of the Company's non-vested share activity and related information for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="81%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Shares (000)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Non-vested at December 31, 2008</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Granted</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">356</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">25.65</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Non-vested at December 31, 2009</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">356</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">25.65</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Granted</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">842</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">13.47</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Vested</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(117</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">25.56</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Cancelled</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(8</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">)</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">23.62</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Non-vested at December 31, 2010</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1,073</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16.11</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr></table> The unrecognized compensation cost associated with non-vested shares at December 31, 2010 is $16.3 million.

Company does not provide for U.S. federal income taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are reinvested and it is our intention that the earnings will be reinvested indefinitely. The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.8% for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to 36.3% for the same period last year. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to nondeductible transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Tinet and establishing the Illinois EDGE tax credit valuation allowance. In the first quarter of 2010, the State of Illinois concluded an examination of Illinois state income tax returns the Company filed for the years 2006 and 2007. The audit resulted in no significant changes. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any income tax liability due to domestic uncertain tax positions. The Company's state income tax credit carry forward, the Illinois EDGE credit, can be carried forward five years and began to expire in 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a partial valuation allowance of $0.6 million against the credit as the Company believed it was more likely than not that future taxable income will be insufficient to realize the full benefit of the credit. The Company evaluates its deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is required or should be adjusted. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established against our deferred tax assets based upon consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company's experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and local jurisdictions and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007. The Company's wholly-owned Italian subsidiary files income tax returns in Italy and various foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007 in jurisdictions where it files tax returns. The IRS has commenced an examination of the federal income tax return the Company filed for the year 2008. As of December 31, 2010, the IRS had not proposed any material adjustments to the Company's 2008 income tax return. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months, the Company will resolve some or all of the matters presently under consideration for 2008 with the IRS.   A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit is as follows:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="84%" align="center"> <tr><td width="91%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom">(Dollars in thousands)</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Balance at January 1</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Additions for tax positions of prior years</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">165</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Balance on December 31</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">165</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="border-top: #000000 3px double;" valign="bottom"> </td> <td> </td></tr></table> The Company, through its wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, operates in foreign jurisdictions in which it has not filed income tax returns or paid income taxes. It is uncertain whether the Company may be liable for income taxes in such foreign jurisdictions. Accordingly, at December 31, 2010, the Company has established a reserve of $0.2 million with respect to such uncertain tax positions, and has included $0.1 million related to interest and penalty expense as a component of income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The entire balance at December 31, 2010 is for tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly uncertain, therefore upon settlement with the tax authorities for an amount less than the balance recorded would favorably affect the annual effective tax rate. </div>

<div> <div> 1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Organization—Neutral Tandem, Inc. (the Company) provides U.S. and international voice, IP Transit, and Ethernet telecommunications services primarily on a wholesale basis. The Company offers these services using an all-IP network, which enables the Company to deliver global connectivity for a variety of media, including voice, data and video. The Company's solutions enable carriers and other providers to deliver telecommunications traffic or other services where they do not have their own network or elect not to use their own network. These solutions are sometimes called "off-net" services. The Company also provides our solutions to customers, like content providers, who also typically do not have their own network. Secondary Offering—In April 2008, certain shareholders of the Company completed a secondary offering in which 4.9 million shares of the Company's common stock were sold at a price of $18.00 per share. The Company did not sell any shares of its common stock and received no proceeds from the secondary offering. The Company paid approximately $0.6 million of certain expenses related to the offering and recorded the entire amount as other expense in the first quarter 2008. Acquisition of Tinet S.p.A.—On October 1, 2010 the Company completed its acquisition of Tinet S.p.A. (Tinet) for $103.1 million, comprised of $77.4 million, in cash, paid on October 1, 2010 for the outstanding shares of Tinet's capital stock, repayment of $31.1 million of Tinet's debt as part of the closing and $5.4 million in cash acquired. The purchase price was financed with cash from the Company's balance sheet. $7.5 million of cash consideration will be placed in escrow for a period of two years following the acquisition. In addition to the cash, the Company recorded approximately $4.0 million for acquisition-related costs, including legal, accounting and advisory services in its statement of income.</div> </div>

<div> 13.    SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Segment Reporting establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The Company operates in one industry segment, which is to provide voice, IP Transit and Ethernet interconnection services upon the Company's international telecommunications network to fulfill customer agreements. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it has only one operating segment. Prior to the Company's acquisition of Tinet, all revenues and assets were in the United States of America.

<div> 2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates—The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions upon which it relies are reasonable based upon information available to it at the time that these estimates and assumptions are made. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's consolidated financial statements will be affected. Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying values approximate fair value. At December 31, 2010 the Company had $12.9 million of cash in banks and $93.8 million in two money market mutual funds. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $4.0 million of cash in banks and $157.4 million in one money market mutual fund. Short-term Investments—The Company considers all investments with remaining time to maturity of one year or less to be short-term investments. At December 31, 2010, the Company had no short term investments. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $17.1 million (par value) of auction rate securities (ARS) recorded within the other current assets category of the Company's balance sheet.   In the fourth quarter 2008, the Company entered into a settlement with UBS related to the ARS, pursuant to which the Company elected to participate in a rights offering that provides it with certain rights (ARS Rights) to sell $18.8 million (par value) of the ARS, back to UBS at par value, at any time during a two-year sale period beginning June 30, 2010. By electing to participate in the settlement and receive the ARS Rights, the Company granted UBS the right, exercisable at any time prior to June 30, 2010 or during the two-year sale period, to purchase or cause the sale of the Company's ARS. The Company's ARS Rights were required to be recognized as a free-standing asset, separate from the Company's ARS. The Company elected to treat its ARS and ARS Rights as trading securities and to measure the ARS Rights at fair value in order to match the changes in the fair value of the ARS. The Company recorded a gain of $0.2 million related to the ARS and ARS Rights due to changes in estimated fair value of each investment during 2010. The Company recorded a gain of $0.3 million related to the ARS and ARS Rights due to changes in estimated fair value of each investment during 2009. On June 30, 2010, the Company exercised its right to redeem its remaining $5.7 million of ARS at par value. As a result, the Company received $5.7 million from UBS on July 1, 2010. Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, debt, ARS and ARS Rights. The types of instruments valued based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions, include the Company's ARS and related ARS Rights. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on investment and fair value measurements. The Company has not elected to measure its debt at fair value under the Financial Account Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) section 825-10-50, Financial Instruments: Disclosure (formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments). The estimated fair value of the Company's debt at December 31, 2009 was $0.4 million compared to the carrying value of $0.2 million. The Company's estimated fair value of its debt is determined by discounting the future cash flows using a discount rate of approximately 15.0%. This discount rate includes the final interest payment which is required at the end of the loan term. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value. The Company applies a discounted cash flow model approach to value its financial assets and liabilities, which include its ARS and ARS Rights. The discounted cash flow model approach takes into consideration the anticipated coupon rate for the securities, a market-based discount rate, an illiquidity premium and an anticipated workout period, or likely timeframe to redemption or liquidation in the open market. The fair value disclosures required by ASC section 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Disclosure (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)), are included in Note 9, Investments and Fair Value Measurements. Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. These costs are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets using the straight-line method. Any gains and losses from the disposition of property and equipment are included in operations as incurred. The estimated useful life for switch equipment and tools and test equipment is five years. The estimated useful life for computer equipment, computer software and furniture and fixtures is three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of five years or the life of the lease, whichever is less. As discussed in further detail below, the impairment of long-lived assets is periodically evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred. Long-lived Assets—The carrying value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred. A potential impairment has occurred if projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets. The estimated cash flows include management's assumptions of cash inflows and outflows directly resulting from the use of that asset in operations. The impairment test is a two-step process. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows from the asset, impairment is indicated. The impairment loss recognized is the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net Goodwill and intangible assets were recognized in 2010 as a result of the acquisition of Tinet. See Note 12 for more details. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"), goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company uses internal discounted cash flow estimates and market value comparisons to determine estimated fair value. The annual assessment occurs in the fourth quarter of each year.

Goodwill is not amortized, but will be tested at least annually on October 1 or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Intangible asset amortization expense was $0.6 million in 2010. Intangible asset amortization for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is estimated at $2.1 million for 2011, $2.5 million for 2012, $2.9 million for 2013, $2.8 million for 2014, and $2.4 million for 2015. Revenue Recognition—The Company generates revenue from sales of its voice, IP Transit, and Ethernet telecommunications services. The Company maintains executed service agreements with each of its customers in which specific fees and rates are determined. Revenue is recorded each month based upon documented minutes of traffic switched or internet transit for which service is provided and when collection is probable. The Company provides voice interconnection service primarily to large, well-established competitive carriers, including wireless, wireline and cable and broadband telephony and internet connectivity and Ethernet services carriers, service providers and content providers. Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding during the period had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options, non-vested shares and convertible warrants. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per common share:   <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"

purchase 2.4 million, 1.4 million, and 1.6 million shares of common stock were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. 1.0 million and 0.4 million non-vested shares of common stock were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Accounting for Share-Based Payments—The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model takes into account the exercise price of the stock option, the fair value of the common stock underlying the stock option as measured on the date of grant and an estimation of the volatility of the common stock underlying the stock option. Such value is recognized as expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company's current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company's current estimates. The amount of share-based expense recorded in the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 is $10.1 million, $5.7 million, and $3.1 million, respectively. Compensation expense for non-vested shares is measured based upon the quoted closing market price for the stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. See Note 11, "Stock Options and Non-vested Shares". Income Taxes—Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future income tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recorded in earnings in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets whenever it is more likely than not that future tax benefits will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary based on current and historical performance, along with other relevant factors. The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state, and local and foreign income taxes and is based on pre-tax income or loss. We recognize the benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns in the provision for income taxes only for those positions that are more likely than not to be realized. We follow a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. Our policy is to include interest and penalties associated with income tax obligations in income tax expense. Foreign Exchange—The functional currency of each of the Company's subsidiaries is the currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive earnings as a component of shareholders' equity. Concentrations—For the years ended 2010, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate revenues of four customers accounted for 56%, 57% and 56% of total revenues, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the aggregate accounts receivable of four customers accounted for 33% and 50% of the Company's total trade accounts receivable, respectively. In 2010, the Company had two customers in excess of ten percent of sales, which were 22% and 18% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. At December 31, 2010, the Company had one customer who accounted for 15% of the Company's accounts receivable balance, respectively. In 2009, the Company had three customers in excess of ten percent of sales, which were 23%, 14% and 13% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the Company had two customers who accounted for 18% and 15% of the Company's accounts receivable balance, respectively. In 2008, the Company had two customers in excess of ten percent of sales, which were 25% and 15% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. At December 31, 2008, the Company had three customers who accounted for 20%, 14% and 11% of the Company's accounts receivable balance, respectively. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $106.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. Of this amount, approximately $93.8 million was invested in two money market mutual funds. Investment policies have been implemented that limit investments to highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In January 2010, the FASB issued accounting standard update 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instrument. For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements should be presented separately. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain provisions related to Level 3 disclosures which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB issued accounting standard update 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-09). ASU 2010-09 removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. There was no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption of this guidance. In December 2010, the FASB issued accounting standard update 2010-19, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29). ASU 2010-29 clarifies the disclosure requirements for pro forma financial information related to a material business combination or a series of immaterial business combinations that are material in the aggregate. The guidance clarified that the pro forma disclosures are prepared assuming the business combination occurred at the start of the prior annual reporting period. Additionally, a narrative description of the nature and amount of material, non-recurring pro forma adjustments would be required. As this newly issued accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard will not impact our financial position or results of operations. </div>
