UCN, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These unaudited interim financial statements of UCN, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “UCN”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods shown. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2007. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

UCN experienced net losses of $3.2 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The primary factors affecting operations during the year were: 1) continued investments in the promotion and development of inContact to bring these services to market; 2) $3.3 million of depreciation and amortization; 3) $599,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense (Note 9); and 4) $169,000 in non-cash expense related to two consulting agreements that were satisfied through the issuance of warrants.

UCN’s working capital surplus of $1.6 million at December 31, 2006 decreased to $1.0 million at June 30, 2007. The primarily reason for the reduction in working capital was due to a $2.2 million decrease in cash. This decrease in cash was driven by a $1.2 million reduction in accounts payable as well as an increase of $445,000 in accounts receivable due to the normal business timing of cash payments and collections. This decrease in cash was partially offset by an $117,000 decrease in the current portion of long-term debt due to the conversion of the of the ComVest $3.4 million convertible term note. This conversion will save UCN an estimated $468,000 in cash payments during 2007 and will significantly improve the current ratio in future periods by eliminating the associated current portion of long-term debt.

In addition to the cash amount listed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, the Company also has access to additional available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The available borrowings under the revolving credit facility increased $1.5 million to $3.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to only $2.2 million available at December 31, 2006, resulting in total cash and additional availability under the revolving credit facility of $6.1 million at the end of the quarter.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should UCN be unable to continue as a going concern. UCN’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to achieve successful operations.

UCN has taken the following actions to ensure that it will be able to meet its obligations:

 

 

On June 29, 2007, UCN filed a “shelf registration” on Form S-3 with the SEC. Under the terms of this shelf registration, UCN may offer from time to time up to $12 million in common shares. The registration statement became effective on July 13, 2007 and UCN has not sold any shares under the registration statement.

 

 

In February 2007, UCN closed two acquisitions (Note 3), which improved the overall inContact product offering suite. With these new products, UCN provides customers the ability to monitor agent effectiveness through its customer survey tools and the ability to efficiently monitor their agent needs. These new service offerings provide UCN additional contact and service opportunities to potential customers as well as provide up-sale opportunities to existing customers. These acquisitions added an additional $1.1 million and $1.6 million of higher-margin inContact revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

 

 

The inContact segment experienced its tenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth increasing to $7.2 million during the quarter, a 99% increase from the same period in 2006 for a year to date total of $13.3 million. This increase was a result of the selling and promotion effort the Company has undertaken to bring these products to market. Excluding the $1.1 million in revenue from the acquisitions, the segment increased 69% compared to the first quarter of 2006. UCN expects to see continued revenue growth in the inContact segment in 2007 (Note 11).

Table of Contents

Management believes these actions will allow UCN to have sufficient cash flows available to meet short-term requirements and to enable UCN to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of FIN 48: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“ FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that entities recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as components of income tax expense. The Company’s adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any uncertain income tax positions that would require adjustment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements - In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Fair Value Option - In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (the “fair value option”). Unrealized gains and losses, arising subsequent to adoption, are reported in earnings. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect that the implementation SFAS 159 will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

BenchmarkPortal, Inc. Acquisition

On February 9, 2007, UCN closed the acquisition of BenchmarkPortal, Inc. to enhance and expand the services offered under the inContact suite of services. Through the acquisition of 100% of BenchmarkPortal’s outstanding stock, UCN acquired a call center survey and analysis business, operated under the name of EchoTM. The Echo business includes: 1) a customer base; 2) automated survey and analysis software and related service offerings; and 3) the related sales, marketing and technical staff. As consideration for the agreement, UCN paid the following:

 

   

$500,000 in cash to or for the benefit of the BenchmarkPortal stockholders at closing; and

 

   

$4,500,000 by issuing 1,535,836 shares of its restricted common stock to BenchmarkPortal stockholders.

In addition to the amounts paid at closing, UCN agreed to pay contingent purchase price payments to BenchmarkPortal stock holders in the following amounts:

 

   

$2.0 million of additional contingent purchase price cash payments to BenchmarkPortal stockholders in 36 equal monthly installments of $55,556, subject to adjustment if monthly recurring revenue during the payout period from customers’ accounts acquired in the transaction do not remain at certain levels which are adjusted for estimated attrition; and

 

   

Up to an additional $7.0 million maximum contingent quarterly earn out to BenchmarkPortal stockholders paid on a variable percentage of recurring revenue from the sale of Echo services during the four-year period after closing in excess of $900,000 per quarter.

ScheduleQ, LLC Acquisition

On October 19, 2006, UCN entered into a Reseller License Agreement with ScheduleQ, LLC. Under the terms of the license agreement, UCN acquired a limited exclusive right and continuing non-exclusive right to market and distribute ScheduleQ software and services to end-users. ScheduleQ software and services consist primarily of a platform-based workforce management system for call centers, which can operate through the inContact service. At the same time UCN entered into a Purchase Option Agreement with ScheduleQ and the members of that limited liability company.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, UCN paid the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Chairman), $5,000 per month for consulting, marketing, and capital raising activities. Starting in September 2001 and continuing to January 2003, the Chairman provided three carriers with his personal guaranty of payment up to $800,000. These guarantees have not changed since Thier inception and UCN has indemnified the Chairman for any losses for which he may become personally liable.

NOTE 8 – CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

On June 29, 2007, UCN filed a “shelf registration” on Form S-3 with the SEC. Under the terms of this shelf registration, UCN may offer from time to time up to $12 million in common shares. The registration statement became effective on July 13, 2007 and UCN has not sold any shares registered under the registration statement.

On April 18, 2007, ComVest Capital exercised its right to convert the term note to common stock. UCN issued 1,126,664 shares of common stock on conversion of approximately $3.4 million in principal amount of the convertible term note and paid, in cash, $15,000 of interest as complete payment and satisfaction of that note. The shares of common stock issued to ComVest Capital were previously registered for resale under a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, former employees and members of UCN’s Board of Directors exercised options to purchase a total of 235,336 shares of common stock and UCN received total proceeds of $574,000.

NOTE 10 – MAJOR SUPPLIERS

Approximately 57% and 55% of UCN’s cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, was paid to three of the largest U.S. telecommunication service providers. UCN owed $2.3 million and $4.8 million to these three providers as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

NOTE 11 – SEGMENTS

UCN manages its business based on two customer segments: Telecom and inContact. The Telecom segment includes all voice and data long distance services provided to customers not utilizing any inContact services. The inContact segment includes revenues from customers using any inContact services as well as their long distance voice and data services. The inContact services include automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, data storage, email, chat, computer telephony integration, call recording, conferencing and reporting. In mid February 2007, UCN closed two strategic acquisitions which have been added to the inContact segment. The BenchmarkPortal, Inc. acquisition allows UCN to provide customers a hosted process for measuring the effectiveness of agent interactions with clients. The ScheduleQ, LLC acquisition allows UCN to provide its customers a hosted solution for automating the scheduling, forecasting and alert notification functions common to most contact center/customer service type operations. These additions augment UCN’s all-in-one hosted inContact solution.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the inContact segment revenue of $7.2 million includes $3.7 million of related long distance voice and data services and $3.5 million of inContact technology services. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the inContact segment revenue of $3.6 million includes $2.7 million of long distance voice and data services and $923,000 of inContact technology services. Management will continue to evaluate the components of the inContact segment as future strategic initiatives are implemented.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 2, 2007, UCN amended the ComVest revolving credit and term loan agreement to eliminate the most significant financial covenants as well as other non-financial covenants. The financial covenants eliminated through the amendment were: 1) the capital expenditure limit; 2) the EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure that is specifically defined in the agreement) requirement; and 3) the minimum cash and availability requirement. UCN did not incur any costs associate with the amendment.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Basis of presentation

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in UCN’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed separately with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

UCN, Inc. (“UCN” or the “Company”) offers a wide range of hosted contact handling and performance management software services, in addition to a variety of connectivity options for carrying an inbound call into its inContact™ suite of services or linking agents to inContact, including dedicated T1s, IP connectivity, toll free and inbound local numbers. We sell telecom services unbundled from our inContact service offering, including, dedicated, switched, toll free, and data lines at competitive prices with superior service levels.

UCN is a “Network Applications Provider” that provides on-demand, hosted, contact handling software (through our inContact applications suite of services) and business telecommunication services delivered over our own, proprietary national Voice over Internet Protocol Network (VoIP Network). The inContact application suite includes an integrated package of advanced contact handling, reporting and administration applications and performance monitoring and management tools along with a unique rapid application development tool.

We offer a set of traditional connectivity products, which include the dedicated voice T1 product, the Intelligent-T™, VoIP connectivity services and our switched 1+ services, that enable our customer sites to connect to UCN’s VoIP Network and gain access to our inContact services. Our customers publish toll free and inbound local numbers to their customer base, enabling inbound callers to be handled through the inContact applications embedded in the VoIP Network. Our distribution channels pursue multiple marketing avenues, including using independent agents, value-added resellers and direct and inside sales forces.

Results of Operations

Consolidated Revenue

Consolidated revenues decreased $1.0 million or 5% to $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $21.0 million compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to the continued revenue decrease in our Telecom segment, which was down $4.6 million compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in our Telecom segment is due to the loss of several high volume, low margin customers as well as the movement of revenue between our two segments that occurred during 2006. When current Telecom customers start using our inContact services, their all of their revenue moves to the inContact segment. These losses were offset by significant increases in inContact segment revenue, which increased $3.6 million from the second quarter of 2006. The BenchmarkPortal acquisition allows us to provide customers a hosted process for measuring the effectiveness of agent

interactions with clients. The ScheduleQ acquisition allows us to provide our customers a hosted solution for automating the scheduling, forecasting and alert notification functions common to most contact center/customer service type operations. These additions augment our all-in-one hosted inContact solution.

Consolidated revenues decreased $3.8 million or 9% to $39.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $43.6 million compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to the continued revenue decrease in our Telecom segment, which was down $10.5 million compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in our Telecom segment is due to the discontinuation of services to several high volume, low margin customers during the second quarter of 2006 which affected each subsequent quarter. Additionally, we experienced a significant movement of our customers from the Telecom to the inContact segment during 2006 as they added inContact to their services. As mentioned above, when current Telecom customers start using our inContact services, their entire revenue balance moves to the inContact segment. These losses were offset by significant increases in inContact segment revenue, which increased $6.7 million to $13.3 million through June 30, 2007 compared to $6.6 million during the same period in 2006.

We continue focusing marketing efforts on providing on-demand contact center hosted solution and business telecommunications services delivered over our national VoIP network. We believe the opportunity to increase revenues through the sale of enhanced telecommunications services to business customers is much greater than through the sale of traditional long distance services to residential customers. We have developed a menu of enhanced communication services that are marketed to existing and potential customers through our multiple sales channels. As a result of these changes, we are experiencing a transition in sales mix, which will continue with the addition of new products and features.

Costs of revenue

Costs of revenue decreased $2.5 million or 18% to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $13.6 million for the same period in 2006. Consistent with other telecommunication companies, we do not included amortization and depreciation in our calculation of costs of revenue. Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 55.7% during the quarter compared to 64.8% in the same period in 2006. We have continued to improve our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue percentage by implementing cost cutting measures, increasing higher margin inContact revenue and terminating our relationship with large-volume low-margin customers. In addition to these measurers, the $1.1 million of additional revenue added through the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions had very little cost involved with the creation of such revenue.

Costs of revenue decreased $6.4 million or 22% to $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $29.1 million for the same period in 2006. Consistent with other telecommunication companies, we do not included amortization and depreciation in our calculation of costs of revenue. Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 57.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 66.7% in the same period in 2006. We have continued to improve our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue percentage by implementing cost cutting measures, increasing higher margin inContact revenue and terminating our relationship with large-volume low-margin customers. In addition to these measurers, the $1.6 million of additional revenue added through the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions had very little cost involved with the creation of such revenue.

As noted above, we continue to focus most of our marketing efforts on promoting our inContact technology services which carry significantly higher margins than the traditional long distance services. As a result, we expect continued improvements in margins from the sales of these technology services as we add higher gross margin inContact customers. We continue to support our telecom reseller channel that markets our telecom products to business users and encourage those resellers to refer inContact opportunities to us.

Selling and promotion

Selling and promotion expenses increased 20% or $670,000 to $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.4 million during the same period in 2006 primarily due to an overall increase in the number of sales and lead generation activities related to bringing the inContact suite of services to the market. Our sales force grew substantially through the addition of employees related to the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions closed during the first quarter of 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, UCN granted a significant number of stock options to certain senior members of management, which added an additional $80,000 of stock-based compensation expense for a total of $155,000 during the second quarter of 2007 compared to $65,000 during the same period in 2006.

Selling and promotion expenses increased 13% or $902,000 to $8.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.0 million during the same period in 2006 primarily due to an overall increase in the number of sales and lead generation activities related to bringing the inContact suite of services to the market. Our sales force grew substantially through the addition of employees related to the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions closed during the first quarter of 2007. During the first quarter of 2007,

UCN granted a significant number of stock options to certain senior members of management which added an additional $95,000 of stock-based compensation expense for a total of $229,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $134,000 during the same period in 2006.

As noted above, we continue to focus most of our marketing efforts on promoting our inContact technology. As a result, we expect our selling and promotion expense will continue to increase going forward as we continue bringing the inContact suite of services to the market.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 27% or $1.0 million to $4.2 million compared to $3.2 million in the same period in 2006. The increase is primarily due to an overall increase in salaries and benefits during the year due to the growth of the company. Our general and administrative staff grew substantially through the addition of employees related to the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions closed during the first quarter of 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, UCN granted a significant number of stock options to certain senior members of management, which added and an additional $137,000 of stock-based compensation expense for a total of $214,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $77,000 during the same period in 2006.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 21% or $1.4 million to $7.9 million compared to $6.5 million in the same period in 2006. The increase is primarily due to an overall increase in salaries and benefits during the year due to the growth of the company. Our general and administrative staff grew substantially through the addition of employees related to the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions closed during the first quarter of 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, UCN granted a significant number of stock options to certain senior members of management, which added and an additional $174,000 of stock-based compensation expense for a total of $321,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $147,000 during the same period in 2006.

Segment Reporting

We manage our business based on two customer segments: Telecom and inContact. The Telecom customer segment includes all voice and data long distance services provided to customers not utilizing any inContact services. The inContact customer segment includes revenues from customers using any inContact services as well as their related long distance voice and data services. The inContact segment services include automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, data storage, email, chat, computer telephony integration, call recording, conferencing and reporting. In mid February 2007, UCN closed two strategic acquisitions which have been added to our inContact segment. The BenchmarkPortal, Inc. acquisition allows us to provide customers a hosted process for measuring the effectiveness of agent interactions with clients. The ScheduleQ, LLC acquisition allows us to provide our customers a hosted solution for automating the scheduling, forecasting and alert notification functions common to most contact center/customer service type operations. These additions augment our all-in-one hosted inContact solution. We will continue to evaluate the components of the inContact segment as future strategic initiatives are implemented.

inContact Customer Segment Quarterly Results

The inContact segment experienced its tenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, which increased to $7.2 million during the quarter, which is a 99% increase from the same period in 2006 as a result of the selling and promotion effort we have undertaken to bring these products to market. The BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions that were closed during the first quarter of 2007 added an additional $1.1 million of revenue during the quarter. Excluding the $1.1 million of acquisition revenue, the segment increased 69% compared to the same quarter in 2006.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the inContact segment revenue of $7.2 million includes $3.7 million of related long distance voice and data services and $3.5 million of inContact technology services. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the inContact segment revenue of $3.6 million includes $2.7 million of long distance voice and data services and $939,000 of inContact technology services.

Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to 35.4% from 50.5% during the same period in 2006. These significant improvements are primarily due to closing higher margin inContact deals with new customers as well as the addition of BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ, which produce revenue with very few direct costs. We anticipate that margins will continue to improve as we add customers with more inContact technology services. We continue to focus a significant amount of resources related to bringing inContact to market. As a result, selling and promotion expenses in the segment increased $1.2 million or 83% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006. We also continue to develop the services provided in the segment by investments in research and development. During the quarter, we spent $447,000 in research and development costs and have capitalized an additional $268,000 of costs related to our internally developed software.

inContact Customer Segment Year-to-Date Results

The inContact segment revenue increased to $13.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, which is a 102% increase from the same period in 2006 as a result of the selling and promotion effort we have undertaken to bring these products to market. The BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions that were closed during the first quarter of 2007 added an additional $1.6 million of revenue during the quarter. Excluding the $1.6 million of acquisition revenue, the segment increased 77% compared to the same quarter in 2006.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the inContact segment revenue of $13.3 million includes $7.6 million of related long distance voice and data services and $5.7 million of inContact technology services. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the inContact segment revenue of $6.6 million includes $5.0 million of long distance voice and data services and $1.6 million of inContact technology services.

Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue improved during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 38.9% from 51.7% during the same period in 2006. These significant improvements are primarily due to closing higher margin inContact deals with new customers as well as the addition of BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ, which produce revenue with very few direct costs. We anticipate that margins will continue to improve as we add customers with more inContact technology services. We continue to focus a significant amount of resources related to bringing inContact to market. As a result, selling and promotion expenses in the segment increased $1.9 million or 67% during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. We also continue to develop the services provided in the segment by investments in research and development. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we spent $874,000 in research and development costs and have capitalized an additional $375,000 of costs related to our internally developed software.

Telecom Customer Segment Quarterly Results

While we continue to see decreases in the Telecom segment, the attrition rates are in line with our expectations. Overall segment revenue decreased 26% to $4.6 million during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006. These decreases were primarily due to UCN terminating its relationship with several large-volume low-margin customers during the second quarter of 2006 as well as up selling inContact services to several legacy Telecom customers, which occurred during 2006 that affected each subsequent period. When an existing Telecom customer “turns up” inContact services, all of their Telecom revenue is moved to the inContact segment. We expect that revenue from the Telecom Segment will continue to decrease due to normal attrition rates as well as movement of customers from the Telecom customer segment to the inContact customer segment. With the decline in revenues from the segment, we have been able to reduce overall costs in the segment. Our costs of revenue and selling and promotion expenses decreased 27% and 26%, respectively, during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006.

Telecom Customer Segment Year-to-Date Results

We continue to see decreases in the Telecom segment; however the attrition rates are in line with our expectations. Overall segment revenue decreased 28% to $10.5 million during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006. These decreases were primarily due to UCN terminating its relationship with several large-volume low-margin customers during the second quarter of 2006 as well as up selling inContact services to several legacy Telecom customers, which occurred during 2006 that affected each subsequent period. When an existing Telecom customer “turns up” inContact services, all of their Telecom revenue is moved to the inContact segment. We expect that revenue from the Telecom Segment will continue to decrease due to normal attrition rates as well as movement of customers from the Telecom customer segment to the inContact customer segment. With the decline in revenues from the segment, we have been able to reduce overall costs in the segment. Our costs of revenue and selling and promotion expenses decreased 32% and 24%, respectively, during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 2, 2007, we amended the ComVest revolving credit and term loan agreement to eliminate the most significant financial covenants as well as some other non-financial covenants. The financial covenants eliminated through the amendment were: 1) the capital expenditure limit; 2) the EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure that is specifically defined in the agreement) requirement; and 3) the minimum cash and availability requirement. This amendment provides us increased flexibility to aggressively grow the business through additional investments in the inContact segment.

On June 29, 2007, UCN filed a “shelf registration” on Form S-3 with the SEC. Under the terms of this shelf registration, UCN may offer from time to time up to $12 million in common shares. The registration statement became effective on July 13, 2007 and UCN has not sold any shares registered under the registration statement.

On April 18, 2007, ComVest Capital exercised its right to convert the term note to common stock. UCN issued 1,126,664 shares of common stock on conversion of approximately $3.4 million in principal amount of the convertible term note and paid, in cash, $15,000 of interest as complete payment and satisfaction of that note. This conversion will save UCN an estimated $468,000 in cash payments during 2007 and will significantly improve the current ratio in future periods by eliminating the associated current portion of long-term debt.

In January 2007, UCN amended the convertible term note and revolving credit note agreement. In conjunction with this amendment, UCN issued warrants to ComVest Capital, LLC to purchase 55,000 shares of common stock at $2.90 per share. The fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $83,000 with an assumed expected volatility of 58.21%, a risk-free rate of return of 4.87%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of 4.3 years. These warrants were included in a registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-1 to register for resale on April 6, 2007. The registration statement became effective on April 19, 2007.

In conjunction with the BenchmarkPortal acquisition, UCN entered a consulting agreement with the founder of BenchmarkPortal and issued warrants to purchase a total of 60,000 share of UCN common stock at $2.95 per share. The fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $68,000 with an assumed expected volatility of 48.63%, a risk-free rate of return of 4.76%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of 3.0 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, former employees and members of UCN’s Board of Directors exercised options to purchase a total of 235,336 shares of common stock and UCN received total proceeds of $574,000.

In March 2007, a warrant holder converted 164,125 warrants in a cashless exercise into 36,810 shares of UCN common stock.

In conjunction with the BenchmarkPortal acquisition that was closed in February 2007, UCN issued a total of 1,535,836 shares of its restricted common stock to BenchmarkPortal stockholders.

In conjunction with the ScheduleQ acquisition that was closed in February 2007, UCN issued a total of 108,912 shares of its restricted common stock to ScheduleQ stockholders.

We experienced net losses of $3.2 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The primary factors affecting operations during the year were: 1) continued investments in the promotion and development of inContact to bring these services to market; 2) $3.3 million of depreciation and amortization; 3) $599,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense (Note 9); and 4) $169,000 in non-cash expense related to two consulting agreements that were satisfied through the issuance of warrants.

Our working capital surplus of $1.6 million at December 31, 2006 decreased to $1.0 million at June 30, 2007. The primarily reason for the reduction in working capital was due to a $2.2 million decrease in cash. This decrease in cash was driven by a $1.2 million reduction in accounts payable as well as an increase of $445,000 in accounts receivable due to the normal business timing of cash payments and collections. This decrease in cash was partially offset by an $117,000 decrease in the current portion of long-term debt due to the conversion of the of the ComVest $3.4 million convertible term note. This conversion will save us an estimated $468,000 in cash payments during 2007 and will significantly improve the current ratio in future periods by eliminating the associated current portion of long-term debt.

In addition to the cash amount listed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, we also have access to additional available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The available borrowings under the revolving credit facility increased $1.5 million to $3.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to only $2.2 million available at December 31, 2006, resulting in total cash and additional availability under the revolving credit facility of $6.1 million at the end of the quarter.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to achieve successful operations.

We have taken the following actions to ensure that we will be able to meet our obligations:

 

   

On June 29, 2007, we filed a “shelf registration” on Form S-3 with the SEC. Under the terms of this shelf registration, we may offer from time to time up to $12 million in common shares. The registration statement became effective on July 13, 2007 and we have not sold any shares under the registration statement.

In February 2007, we closed two acquisitions (Note 3), which improved the overall inContact product offering suite. With these new products, we provide customers the ability to monitor agent effectiveness through its customer survey tools and the ability to efficiently monitor their agent needs. These new service offerings provide us additional contact and service opportunities to potential customers as well as provide up-sale opportunities to existing customers. These acquisitions added an additional $1.1 million and $1.6 million of higher-margin inContact revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

   

The inContact segment experienced its tenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth increasing to $7.2 million during the quarter, a 99% increase from the same period in 2006 for a year to date total of $13.3 million. This increase was a result of the selling and promotion effort we have undertaken to bring these products to market. Excluding the $1.1 million in revenue from the acquisitions, the segment increased 69% compared to the first quarter of 2006. We expect to see continued revenue growth in the inContact segment in 2007 (Note 11).

We believe these actions will allow us to have sufficient cash flows available to meet short-term requirements and to enable us to continue as a going concern.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

A summary of our other significant accounting policies is discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Significant areas of uncertainty that require judgments, estimates and assumptions include the accounting for income taxes and other contingencies as well as asset impairment, inventory valuation and collectibility of accounts receivable. We use historical and other information that we consider to be relevant to make these judgments and estimates. However, actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare our financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of FIN 48: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes —an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that entities recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as components of income tax expense. The Company’s adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any uncertain income tax positions that would require adjustment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements - In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Statement (“SFAS”) 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Fair Value Option - In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (the “fair value option”). Unrealized gains and losses, arising subsequent to adoption, are reported in earnings. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect that the implementation SFAS 159 will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Our cash equivalents are invested with high quality issuers and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Due to the short-term nature of the cash equivalents, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest rate risk as it relates to interest income. All outstanding debt instruments at June 30, 2007 have fixed interest rates and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

We did not have any foreign currency hedges or other derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2007. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments. Our operations are conducted in the United States and as such are not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

With the participation of management, UCN’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated disclosure controls and procedures on June 30, 2007. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in connection with UCN’s filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 there have been no significant changes in UCN’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses of internal controls that would require corrective action.

PART II

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1985 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by UCN, except where such statements are made in connection with an initial public offering. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, which address activities, actions, goals, prospects, or new developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as expansion and growth of our operations and other such matters are forward-looking statements. Any one or a combination of factors could materially affect our operations and financial condition. These factors include competitive pressures, success or failure of marketing programs, changes in pricing and availability of services and products offered to customers, legal and regulatory initiatives affecting customer marketing and rebate programs or long distance service, and conditions in the capital markets. Forward-looking statements made by us are based on knowledge of our business and the environment in which we operate as of the date of this report. Because of the factors discussed below, as well as other factors set forth under the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006, actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements.
