EASYLINK SERVICES INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of EasyLink Services International Corporation (referred to as “EasyLink,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods indicated. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. While we believe the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

Operating results for the six—month period ended January 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2010 or any future period.

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EasyLink and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification has become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB effective September 15, 2009. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.

In August 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that the fair value measurement of liabilities in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available should be developed based on a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that there is no requirement to adjust the fair value related to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. This guidance was effective for the Company as of October 31, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No.2009-13 Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”. As this ASU is only effective for fiscal year ends beginning on or after June 15, 2010 we will review and make a determination at that time.

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No.2009-14 Software (Topic 985) “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. As this ASU is only effective for fiscal year ends beginning on or after June 15, 2010 we will review and make a determination at that time.

4. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Dividends

The holders of the outstanding shares of our series C preferred stock are entitled to receive a 4% per share annual cumulative dividend payable in cash or shares of common stock at our option. Dividends accrue and are cumulative on a daily basis, whether or not earned or declared. The series C preferred stock has a par value of $0.01 and a liquidation value of $1,000 per share.

As of January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, accrued dividends, for the series C preferred stock, of $16,986 and $116,164, respectively, were included in accrued expenses on our balance sheet. Total liquidation preferences of the series C preferred stock were $5,016,986 and $5,116,164 at January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, respectively.

On May 19, 2009, 6,577 shares of series E preferred stock were issued with a par value of $0.01 and a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. The preferred stock pays dividends at the rate of 10% for year 1, 12% for year 2, 14% for year 3 and 16% for each year thereafter.

As of January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, accrued dividends, for the series E preferred stock, of $464,895 and $133,342, respectively, were included in accrued expenses on our balance sheet. Total liquidation preferences of the series E preferred stock were $7,041,895 and $6,710,342 at January 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009, respectively.

Stockholder Rights Agreement and Authorization of Series F Junior Participating Preferred Stock

On August 25, 2009, the board of directors adopted a stockholder rights agreement and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s class A common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2009. The description and terms of the rights were set forth in a Stockholder Rights Agreement, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent, dated as of August 25, 2009 (the “Stockholder Rights Agreement”). The board of directors of the Company also adopted resolutions on August 25, 2009 providing for the issuance of a series of preferred stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share, designated as series F Junior Participating Preferred Stock, as set forth in a Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of the series F Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). The Certificate of Designations became effective on August 31, 2009.

5. INCOME TAXES

Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Current tax expense is based on the financial results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed for tax purposes. The tax expense is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

The tax expense for the three and six months ended January 31, 2010 represents the taxes that we would expect to pay at statutory rates. As noted above, GAAP requires the application of a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions and also require that a change in judgment related to prior years’ tax positions be recognized in the quarter of such change. We have had taxable income for the last 12 quarters and continue to forecast future taxable income. As a result, we plan to review the existing valuation allowance on our net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $27.3 million in subsequent quarters of this fiscal year, which may result in the release of all or some of the valuation allowance.

6. FAIR VALUE REPORTING

GAAP clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon sale of 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, GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active market;

•

Level 2 — Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2010:


	Quoted Prices in
	Active Markets
	for Identical		Significant
	Assets		Other		Significant
	(Liabilities)		Observable		Unobservable
	(Level 1)		Inputs (Level 2)		Inputs (Level 3)			Carrying Amount
Cash	$	12,679,407		—		—		$	12,679,407
Cash Equivalents	$	2,816,331		—		—		$	2,816,331
Notes Payable		—		—	$	(24,143,650	)	$	(24,781,150	)

The carrying amount of the notes payable contains a $635,517 discount. Management believes that the assets can be liquidated without restriction.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, we may be party to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these claims or any of the legal matters mentioned elsewhere in this Quarterly Report will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Beginning in June 2008, j2 Global Communications, Inc. (“j2”) brought a series of two patent infringement lawsuits against us in U.S. District Court. j2 alleges that we infringed upon three of j2’s patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,597,688, 7,020,132 and 6,208,638. The cases are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and are currently in the discovery phase.

In connection with the termination of an agreement to sell the portal operations of our discontinued India.com business, one of our subsidiaries is party to pending litigation (India.com v. Dalal). Judgment was entered against the subsidiary in the amount of $1,482,347. We have filed a notice of appeal in the matter and intend to vigorously pursue the issue.

As a result of a New York state sales tax audit completed in 2005 of EasyLink Services International, Inc., a dissolved subsidiary of EasyLink Services Corporation, EasyLink Services International was assessed approximately $450,000 in tax, interest, and penalties on sales for the sales tax period beginning March 1, 2001 and ending May 31, 2004. The case has been remanded back to the administrative law judge to determine allocation and penalty issues. We expect to appeal the Tribunal’s decision judicially once all administrative law proceedings are completed.

The outcome of litigation may not be assured, and despite management’s views of the merits of any litigation, or the reasonableness of our estimates and reserves, our cash balances could nonetheless be materially affected by an adverse judgment. In accordance with GAAP, we believe we have adequately reserved for the contingencies arising from the above legal matters where an outcome was deemed to be probable and the loss amount could be reasonably estimated. As such, we do not believe that the anticipated outcome of the aforementioned proceedings will have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

8. INTERIM SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

Our operations are divided into two business segments, which are defined as follows:

•

Supply Chain Messaging Segment (“Supply Chain”), which includes all our electronic data interchange (“EDI”) and telex services.

When used in this quarterly report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “hope,” “continue” and “intend,” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors, including, without limitation, those described in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report under the heading “Risk Factors” and in our registration statements and periodic reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct.

Business Overview

We are a global provider of value added services that facilitate the electronic exchange of documents and information between enterprises, their trading communities and their customers. We deliver most of our services through a global IP network, which hosts our applications on enterprise-class platforms that are comprised of server and network operations centers located worldwide.

Our core services include EDI services, fax services, telex services and other services that are integral to the movement of money, materials, products, people and information in the global economy including documents such as insurance claims, trade and travel confirmations, purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices and funds transfers that help our customers to be more efficient and mobile. Our operations include two business segments defined as follows:

	•		Supply Chain segment, which includes all our EDI and telex services.

	•		On Demand segment, which includes all fax, e-mail, DCM and workflow services.

Global macro economic trends are important barometers for our business. Changes in the level of economic activity are reflected directly in the volumes of our services used by our customers in both segments of our business. As the United States and global economies have experienced recession, we have seen a decrease in the volume of demand for our services from existing customers, as well as increasing pricing pressure and customer bankruptcies and reorganizations. However, extended economic slowdowns can possibly improve customer acquisition opportunities as larger companies look to outsource business functions in our service segments to reduce internal costs. We expect volume trends to reverse when and as the United States and global economies move into a recovery. Our management has taken steps to adjust our cost structure to reflect the decrease in demand for our services, which steps have positively impacted our profitability. However, there can be no assurance that we can achieve further offsetting cost reductions if revenue continues to drop significantly

Approximately 25% of our revenue comes from international operations. Accordingly, our revenue can vary based on the performance of non-US economies and on the prevailing exchange rates of the relevant currencies (principally, the euro and the British pound) compared to the US dollar.

We have grown our business significantly through acquisitions in recent years. We continue to seek to reap the benefits of those acquisitions through the integration and consolidation of operations and the cross-selling of services across the combined customer base. The current economic climate may provide additional opportunities for consolidative or synergistic acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, valuation of acquired intangibles and impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill to be critical policies due to the estimation process involved in each. Management discusses its estimates and judgments with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

We discuss our critical accounting policies in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2009. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since July 31, 2009.

Revenue — Total revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2010 was approximately $40.9 million, a decrease of approximately $2.8 million or 6.3% as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2009. This decrease in revenues is primarily due to revenue from the first quarter of fiscal 2009 that was not affected by the global economic slowdown as well as reduced customer volume. The effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on revenues for the first six months comparison was minimal.

The Supply Chain Messaging segment decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 5.6%, from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010, due to a decrease of approximately $336,000 (a 2.0% decrease) in EDI services and a decrease of approximately $903,000 (a 17.8% decrease) in Telex services.

The On Demand Messaging segment decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 7.1%, from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010, due to decreases of approximately $2.3 million (a 38.9% decrease) for Production Fax services and approximately $400,000 (a 27.7% decrease) for DCM services. The reductions were partially offset by a $1.2 million (10.4% increase) increase in Desktop Fax services.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin — Gross profit decreased approximately $2.0 million, or 6.5% from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010, due to the decrease in customer revenues. However, gross margin remained relatively unchanged at 71.2% for the six-month period ended January 31, 2010, as compared to 71.3% for the six-month period ended January 31, 2009.

Cost of Revenue — Total cost of revenue decreased approximately $758,000, or 6.1%, due mainly to reductions in labor and related expenses of approximately $1.2 million (a 28.9% decrease), approximately $130,000 in reduced building related expenses (a 24.5% decrease), approximately $81,000 in reduced equipment expense ( an 11.6% decrease) and approximately $88,000 (a 29.6% decrease) in reduced travel and other costs All of the reductions are a result of management’s continued efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs. These reductions were partially offset by an approximate $594,000 (a 10.4% increase) increase in telecom expense, approximate $75,000 (a 15.4% increase) increase in depreciation expense due to infrastructure upgrades and an approximate $42,000 (a 27.0% increase) increase in outside professional services.

Product Development — Product development costs decreased approximately $512,000, or 12.4%, from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010. These decreased costs consisted mainly of a reduction in labor and benefits of approximately $259,000 (a 14.2% reduction), an approximate $129,000 decrease (a 98.2% decrease) in telecom and equipment expense, an approximate decrease of $68,000 (a 68.9% reduction) for outside professionals and consultants, along with an approximate $56,000 decrease (a 76.8% decrease) in travel related expenses. The decreases were part of the company’s restructuring during the previous quarters for which benefits are now being realized.

Selling and Marketing — Selling and marketing expenses decreased approximately $159,000, or 2.4%, from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010. These decreased costs consisted mainly of outside professional services of approximately $223,000 (a 17.0% reduction) and a $128,000 decrease (a 23.9% decrease) in travel related costs. The reductions were partially offset by an increase in marketing expense of approximately $112,000 (an 86.6% increase), an increase in compensation and benefits expense of approximately $60,000 (a 1.4% increase), and an increase of approximately $20,000 (a 10.6% increase) in other marketing expenses.

General and Administrative and Intangible Impairment — General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $6.3 million, or 31.1%, from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010. The reduction in expense was attributed to an approximate $1.5 million charge in the fiscal year 2009 for professional fees related to the due diligence of an acquisition that did not occur, a reduction of compensation and benefits of approximately $417,000 (a 7.8% decrease) due to organizational restructuring, the reduction of bad debt expense of approximately $222,000 (a 56.5% decrease) due to increased collection efforts, and a decrease in intangible amortization expense of approximately $4.6 million (a 60.9% decrease) due mainly to an impairment of intangible assets in fiscal year 2009 of approximately $4.2 million which, in turn, caused a decrease of continued amortization expense of approximately $220,000. These decreases are partially offset by a $500,000 reserve for a potential settlement on an outstanding lawsuit, a $63,000 (a 62.5% increase) increase in tax expense and an approximate $120,000 (a 9.3% increase) increase in building related expenses.

Operating Income — Operating income increased approximately $4.9 million from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010, mainly from the $4.2 million impairment of intangible assets during 2009, the $1.5 million in professional fees booked in 2009 that related to the due diligence of an acquisition that did not occur as well as savings from management’s cost cutting efforts and the reduced professional fees in 2010. These reduced expenses were partially offset by the decrease in gross profit and the $500,000 lawsuit reserve.

Other Expense — Other expenses for the six-month period ended January 31, 2010 consist mainly of net interest expense of approximately $928,000 which included approximately $644,000 in net cash interest expense and approximately $284,000 in interest expense from the amortization of the discount on our Term Loan. Interest expenses for the six-month period ended January 31, 2010 decreased approximately $8.1 million from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, due mainly to the elimination of $5.3 million in non-cash interest from the refinancing of the previous convertible notes and a $1.7 million interest penalty that was paid as a result of the Company making an early payment on the previous convertible notes. An additional $1.1 million of interest expense was recognized in fiscal year 2009 due to the higher balance on the previous convertible notes and interest rate at January 31, 2009 as compared to the existing Term Note balance and interest rate at January 31, 2010. Other expense was also lower due to approximately $253,000 of foreign exchange gains during the six-month period ended January 31, 2010. The decreases in other expenses were partially offset by the disposal of assets which generated a gain of approximately $102,000.

Net income — Net income increased approximately $11.8 million, or 129.1%, from the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the six-month period ended January 31, 2010, due primarily to $4.2 million for the impairment of intangibles during 2009 and the $7.9 million reduction in interest expense.

Revenue — Total revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2010 was approximately $20.4 million, a decrease of approximately $452,000, or 2.2%, as compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2009. This decrease in revenues is primarily due to reduced customer volume resulting from the continued global economic slowdown. The effect of the exchange rate fluctuations on revenues for the first quarter comparison was minimal.

The Supply Chain Messaging segment decreased approximately $195,000, or 1.9%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010, due to an increase of approximately $151,000 (a 1.9% increase) in EDI services and a decrease of approximately $345,000 (a 14.5% decrease) in Telex services.

The On Demand Messaging segment decreased approximately $257,000, or 2.5%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010, due to decreases of approximately $851,000 (a 31.8% decrease) for Production Fax services and approximately $168,000 (a 24.4% decrease) for DCM services. These reductions were partially offset by increases of $743,000 (a 13.3% increase) for Desktop Fax Services and $18,000 for Other Services.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin — Gross profit decreased approximately $326,000, or 2.2%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009, as compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010 due to the decrease in customer volumes. However, gross margin remained relatively unchanged at 72.2% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2009.

Cost of Revenue — Total cost of revenue decreased approximately $126,000, or 2.2%, due mainly to reductions in labor and related expenses of approximately $565,000 (a 28.9% decrease), approximately $80,000 in reduced equipment expense (a 23.4% decrease) and approximately $74,000 in reduced building related expenses (a 30.5% decrease). These reductions were partially offset by an approximate $489,000 (a 19.4% increase) increase in telecom expense, an approximate $18,000 (an 18.8% increase) increase in outside professional services, an approximate $22,000 in increased (a 4.0% increase) depreciation expense due to equipment upgrades, and an approximate $73,000 increase from foreign currency fluctuations.

Product Development — Product development costs decreased approximately $248,000, or 12.4%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009, compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010. These decreased costs consisted mainly of a reduction in labor and benefits of approximately $158,000 (a 8.1% reduction), an approximate decrease of $46,000 (a122.4% reduction) in telecom and equipment expenses, an approximate decrease of $27,000 (an 86.2% reduction) for building related costs, and an approximate decrease of $26,000 (a 69.2% decrease) for travel related expenses. The decreases were part of the company’s restructuring during the previous quarters for which benefits are now being realized. The reductions were partially offset by an increase of approximately $21,000 related to foreign currency fluctuations.

Selling and Marketing — Selling and marketing expenses increased approximately $137,000, or 4.4%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009, compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010. These increased costs consisted mainly of a fluctuation in foreign currency of approximately $43,000, an increase in labor and benefits of approximately $252,000 (a 12.4% increase), an increase in marketing related expenses of approximately $73,000 (a 91.5% increase), an approximate $18,000 increase (a 349.8% increase) in seminar expenses, and an approximate $10,000 increase (a 3,170% increase) in office related expenses. These increases are due to an increased effort in generating new business by promoting the EasyLink brand and products. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in telecom and equipment expense of approximately $7,000 (a 18.8% decrease), a decrease of approximately $143,000 (a 23.1% decrease) in outside professional services, and a decrease of approximately $109,000 (a 39.3% decrease) in travel related expenses.

General and Administrative and Intangible Impairment — General and administrative expenses increased approximately $114,000, or 1.8%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009 to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010. The increase in expense was directly related to a $500,000 reserve for a potential settlement on an outstanding lawsuit, an increase in total expenses of $78,000 for foreign currency fluctuations and a $67,000 increase in tax expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $192,000 (a 7.8% decrease) in salary and benefit related costs due to organizational restructuring, the reduction of bad debt expense of approximately $116,000 (a 45.0% decrease) due to increased collection efforts, a decrease in equipment expense of approximately $58,000 (a 21.4% decrease), and a decrease in intangible amortization expense of approximately $163,000 (a 10.1% decrease) primarily due to an impairment of intangible assets in fiscal year 2009.

Operating Income — Operating income increased approximately $3.9 million, or 477.5%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009 as compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010 due mainly to the intangible impairment, of approximately $4.2 million, that incurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Other Expense — Other expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2010 consist mainly of interest expense of approximately $434,000, which included approximately $298,000 in cash interest expense and approximately $136,000 in interest expense from the amortization of the discount on our Term Loan. Interest expenses for the three-month period ended January 31, 2010 decreased approximately $3.5 million from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009 due mainly to the elimination of $3.0 million in non-cash interest due to the refinancing of the previous convertible notes. The decrease in other expense was partially offset by approximately $99,000 in losses due to the disposal of equipment.

Net income — Net income increased approximately $6.1 million, or 127.0%, from the three-month period ended January 31, 2009 as compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2010 due primarily to the improvement in operating income and the reduction in interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of liquidity consists of cash generated from operations. As the majority of our revenue is reoccurring under contract, it is primarily affected by the volumes incurred by the customer using the underlying messaging service. Operating expenses are primarily driven by labor and telecom costs which are directly tied to customer utilization of messaging services. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $4.5 million to a total balance of approximately $15.5 million as of January 31, 2010 from approximately $11.0 million as of July 31, 2009. This increase in cash was primarily caused by an approximate $7.9 million increase in operating cash flow. These cash flows were partially offset by approximately $700,000 in investing cash flow for the purchase of computer equipment and $2.5 million for payments under our Term Loan.

Our liquidity will be affected by the three year Term Loan that calls for quarterly principal payments of approximately $2.5 million that are prorated at the beginning and end of the terms. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest, at our election, at a rate tied to one of the following rates, in each case plus a specified margin: (i) the higher of (1) the prime lending rate of SunTrust Bank, the administrative agent for the Lenders, (2) the U.S. Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (3) adjusted one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%; (ii) adjusted LIBOR for the interest period of such borrowing; and (iii) a LIBOR index rate. The interest margin for each such type of borrowing varies from 2.50% to 4.50%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio at the time of such borrowing. The interest rate on the Term Loan as of January 31, 2010 was 3.73%.

The first and second payments on the Term Loan in fiscal year 2010 were not made until the first business day of the subsequent month due to the timing of the last day of the quarter. The first quarter’s payment was made on November 2, 2009 and the second quarter’s payment was made on February 1, 2010. Therefore, there will be two principal payments made in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2010 totaling approximately $5.0 million due to the timing of quarter ends.

The accounts receivable increased in the second quarter due to changes in the timing of the billing cycles and payment delays by several large customers. Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalent balances and cash provided from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the operating and capital expenditure needs for existing operations during the next twelve months.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

EasyLink management has established and maintained disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, reported and is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, by others within the entity to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and, based on this evaluation, have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by the report. EasyLink continually reviews the respective disclosure controls and procedures and make changes, as necessary, to ensure the quality of its financial reporting.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, EasyLink’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.		Legal Proceedings

In connection with the termination of an agreement to sell the portal operations of our discontinued India.com business, one of our subsidiaries is party to pending litigation (India.com v. Dalal). Judgment was entered against the subsidiary in the amount of $1.482,347. We have filed a notice of appeal in the matter and intend to vigorously pursue the issue.

As a result of a New York state sales tax audit completed in 2005 of EasyLink Services International, Inc., a dissolved subsidiary of EasyLink Services Corporation, EasyLink Services International, Inc. was assessed approximately $450,000 in tax, interest, and penalties on sales for the sales tax period beginning March 1, 2001 and ending May 31, 2004. The case has been remanded back to the administrative law judge to determine allocation and penalty issues. We expect to appeal the Tribunal’s decision judicially once all administrative law proceedings are completed.
