TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:

Today, those who arrive at Internap each morning are working harder and smarter than 

ever to realize this goal. An enviable strategic position and considerable competitive 

strengths support their efforts and serve as reminders that Internap can succeed. 

The original proposition upon which Internap was founded – that the Internet is 

inherently a dynamic, unpredictable and chaotic medium – is still as true today as it was 

ten years ago. What has changed is the Internet’s growth in relevance to critical business

Internap Has Over 2,000 
Customers In Key  
Market Segments

The Internet that exists today can represent a company’s biggest opportunity, as well as its 

biggest challenge. As the Web grows more complex, so do the business-critical applications 

that depend upon it – applications such as e-commerce, streaming audio/video, VoIP and 

virtual private networks (VPNs). The unpredictable, often chaotic nature of the Internet can 

make the deployment of these applications challenging. Speed, congestion and availability 

can have profound revenue and cost implications and can even threaten the overall viability 

of a business.

Ten years ago, when use of the Internet was in its infancy, Internap revolutionized the way 

businesses can use the Internet with the introduction of its Performance IP™ service, which 

was created to address difficulties such as latency and packet loss that can plague conven-

tional Internet connectivity. Our P-NAP architecture, combined with our intelligent route 

control technology, offers unmatched reliability and speed by identifying optimal data paths 

for customers to connect with suppliers, customers and other critical stakeholders. A decade 

later, amid a much more complex environment, this technology remains unsurpassed, as does 

the service level agreement that backs it up – a 100% up-time performance guarantee and 

on-demand, 24/7 access to certified network engineers in our Network Operations Centers 

(NOCs). These engineers possess the requisite global view and information to quickly resolve 

performance issues.

A multi-billion dollar, Internet-based enterprise experiences a dramatic slowdown in connectivity. 

Every second that a network is down costs revenue and possibly customers. How much is 

it worth to make one call and speak to an engineer who can quickly diagnose and resolve 

the issue? Another business wants to move mission-critical IT functions from a costly 

private network to the public Internet. Proper planning and design can mitigate risks associ-

ated with this shift. How much is it worth to have years of Internet optimization experience 

lead the effort? The answers to these and similar questions may be hard to quantify, but 

the issues are real and require specialized IP expertise.  At Internap, this type of intellectual 

capital resides with our people, who are a vital and intangible asset to our Company. 

The talent, commitment and experience of our people have not only added value by 

helping us secure and retain an exceptionally loyal customer base, but also serve as the 

foundation of Internap Professional Services, a team of individuals who have extensive expe-

rience in IP and WAN optimization technologies. This team, combined with customer support 

engineers in our NOCs, are a formidable competitive advantage for us and contribute to 

the premium level of our product and service offerings. As a result, Internap can position 

itself in the marketplace not simply as a provider of bandwidth, but rather as a strategic

(1)  We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” during 2002. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2002, 

goodwill is no longer amortized and is instead reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently, if indications of impairment arise.

(2)  Restructuring cost (benefit) relates to restructuring programs in which management determined to exit certain non-strategic real estate lease and license arrangements, 

consolidate network access points and streamline the operating cost structure.

(3)  In 2000, we acquired CO Space, Inc. and the purchase price was allocated to net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. In 2001, the estimated 

fair value of certain assets acquired was less than their recorded amounts, and an impairment charge was recorded for $196.0 million.

(4)  In August 2003, we completed a private placement of our common stock which resulted in a decrease of the conversion price of our series A preferred stock to 
$0.95 per share and an increase in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of series A preferred stock by 34.5 million shares. 
We recorded a deemed dividend of $34.6 million in connection with the conversion price adjustment, which is attributable to the additional incremental number of 
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our series A preferred stock.

(5)  In July 2003, we amended the deemed liquidation provisions of our charter to eliminate the events that could result in payment to the series A preferred stockholders 

such that the events giving rise to payment would be within our control. As a result, 2,887,661 shares of our series A preferred stock, with a recorded value of $78.6 mil-
lion, were reclassified from mezzanine financing to stockholders’ equity during 2003. Effective September 14, 2004, all shares of our outstanding series A convertible 
preferred stock were mandatorily converted into common stock in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the  
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of this 
annual report.

OVERVIEW

We market products and services that provide managed and premise-
based IP and route optimization technologies that enable business-
critical applications such as e-commerce, CRM, video and audio 
streaming, VoIP, VPNs, and supply chain management. Our product  
and service offerings are complemented by IP access solutions such  
as data center services, CDN and managed security. At December 31, 
2005, we delivered services through our 38 network access points, 
across North America, London, and the Asia-Pacific region including 
Tokyo and Sydney, Australia. Internap’s Private Network Access Points 
(P-NAP®) feature direct high-speed connections to major Internet 
backbones such as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon (formerly MCI), Savvis,  
Global Crossing Telecommunications and Level 3 Communications.

The key characteristic that differentiates us from our competition is our  
portfolio of patented and patent-pending route optimization solutions 
that address the inherent weaknesses of the Internet and overcome 
the inefficiencies of traditional IP connectivity options. Our intelligent 
routing technology can facilitate traffic over multiple carriers, as opposed 
to just one carrier’s network, to ensure highly reliable performance 
over the Internet.

We believe our unique carrier-neutral approach provides better performance, 
control and reliability compared to conventional Internet connectivity alter-
natives. Our service level agreements guarantee performance across the 
entire Internet in the United States, excluding local connections, whereas 
providers of conventional Internet connectivity typically only guarantee 
performance on their own network. Internap serves customers in a variety 
of industries including financial services, entertainment and media, travel, 
e-commerce, retail and technology. As of December 31, 2005, we provided 
our services to approximately 2,100 customers in the United States and 
abroad, including several Fortune 1000 and mid-tier enterprises.

HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK

•  Due to the nature of the services we provide, we generally price our 
Internet connectivity services at a premium to the services offered by 
conventional Internet connectivity service providers. We believe 
customers with business-critical Internet applications will continue to 
demand the highest quality of service as their Internet connectivity 
needs grow and become even more complex and, as such, will con-
tinue to pay a premium for our high performance managed Internet 
connectivity services.

•  Our success in executing our premium pricing strategy depends, to a 

significant degree, on our ability to differentiate our connectivity solutions 
from lower cost alternatives. The key measures of our success in 
achieving this differentiation are revenue and customer growth. During 
2005, we added more than 150 net new customers, bringing our total 
to approximately 2,100 enterprise customers as of December 31, 
2005. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased 6% 
to $153.7 million, compared to revenue of $144.5 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2004.

•  Solidified management team is focused on achieving profitability and 

revenue by leveraging operating efficiencies. In November 2005, James 
P. DeBlasio, a 20-year technology veteran and former Lucent executive, 
was appointed CEO. Through a renewed emphasis on aggressive cost 
containment our management team will focus on reducing net losses 
and driving gross profit to improve shareholder value.

•  We intend to increase revenue by leveraging the capabilities of our 
existing network access points. In our existing markets, we realize 
incremental margins as new customers are added. Additional volume in 
an existing market allows improved utilization of existing facilities and 
an improved ability to cost-effectively predict and acquire additional 
network capacity. Conversely, decreases in the number of customers in 
an established market lead to decreased facility utilization and increase 
the possibility that direct network resources are not cost-efficiently 
employed. These factors have a direct bearing on our financial position 
and results of operations.

•  We also intend to increase revenue by expanding our geographic 

coverage in key markets in the United States and abroad. As we enter 
new geographic markets, operating results will be affected by increased 
expense for hiring, training and managing new employees, acquiring 
and implementing new systems and expense for new facilities. Our 
ability to generate increased revenue depends on the success of our 
cost control measures as we expand our geographic coverage.

•  We believe that our data center services will continue to be drivers of 
revenue in 2006. During 2005, we focused on selling, investing in 
and managing data center services. In order to meet the current and 
future anticipated demand for our data center services, we invested 
more than $10 million in 2005 to upgrade and expand our existing 
facilities. Of the 85,064 total square feet of data center space 
directly operated by Internap, approximately 71% was utilized as  
of December 31, 2005. We have 38,894 total square feet of data 
center space operated under agreements with third parties of which 
approximately 87% was utilized as of December 31, 2005. During 
the year, we also focused on bundling our IP and data center services. 
Our approach to expanding data center capabilities is needs driven, 
as it serves to enhance our customers’ access to Internap’s core

IP services. We believe this bundling brings great value to our custom-
ers, as evidenced by the fact that approximately 95% of our data 
center customers also purchase IP services.

the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent 
from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these 
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

•  We sell approximately two-thirds of new monthly recurring revenue 
to existing customers. Selling new monthly recurring revenue to 
existing customers allows us to guard against customer loss.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the 
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated 
financial statements.

•  While we have limited our execution of traditional advertising over the 
past year, we are focused on increasing brand awareness through 
appropriate marketing vehicles. We will continue to develop integrated 
marketing campaigns that identify qualified leads, generate interest 
and promote business benefits among key audiences. We will also 
conduct public relations efforts focused on securing third party recogni-
tion of our products and services from the media and industry analysts. 
Our marketing organization is also responsible for creating our product 
strategy based upon primary and secondary market research and the 
advancement of new technologies.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On October 1, 2003, we completed our acquisition of netVmg, Inc. 
(netVmg). The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of 
accounting under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The aggre-
gate purchase price of the acquired company, plus related charges, was 
$13.7 million and was comprised of 345,905 shares of our series A 
preferred stock, acquisition costs and warrants to purchase 1.5 million 
shares of our common stock.

On October 15, 2003, we completed our acquisition of Sockeye Net-
works, Inc. (Sockeye). The acquisition was recorded using the purchase 
method of accounting under SFAS No. 141. The aggregate purchase 
price of the acquired company, plus related charges, was $1.9 million 
and was comprised of 1.4 million shares of our common stock and 
acquisition costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of 
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which 
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial state-
ments requires management to make estimates and judgments that 
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, 
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing 
basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those summarized below. 
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other 
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circum-
stances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about 

Revenue recognition. The majority of our revenue is derived from high-
performance Internet connectivity and related data center services. 
Our revenue is generated primarily from the sale of Internet connectivity 
services at fixed rates or usage-based pricing to our customers that 
desire a DS-3 or faster connection and other ancillary services. Ancillary 
services include data center services, CDN, server management and 
installation services, virtual private networking services, managed security 
services, data backup, and remote storage and restoration services. We 
also offer T-1 and fractional DS-3 connections at fixed rates.

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement 
exists, the service has been provided, the fees for the service rendered 
are fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Contracts and 
sales or purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence 
of an arrangement. We test for availability or use shipping documents 
when applicable to verify delivery of our product or service. We assess 
whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms 
associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject  
to refund or adjustment.

Deferred revenue consists of revenue for services to be delivered in the 
future and consists primarily of advance billings, which are amortized 
over the respective service period. Revenue associated with billings for 
installation of customer network equipment are deferred and amortized 
over the estimated life of the customer relationship (generally two 
years), as the installation service is integral to our primary service 
offering and does not have value to a customer on a stand-alone basis. 
Deferred post-contract customer support (PCS) associated with sales of 
our FCP solution and similar products are amortized ratably over the 
contract period (generally one year).

Customer credit risk. We routinely review the creditworthiness of our 
customers. If we determine that collection of service revenue is uncer-
tain, we do not recognize revenue until cash has been collected. Addi-
tionally, we maintain allowances for doubtful accounts resulting from the 
inability of our customers to make required payments on accounts 
receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon specific 
and general customer information, which also includes estimates based 
on management’s best understanding of the customers’ ability to pay. 
Customers’ ability to pay takes into consideration payment history, legal 
status (i.e., bankruptcy), and the status of services we are providing. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MD&A

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Once all collection efforts have been exhausted, we write the uncollect-
ible balance off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. We also 
estimate a reserve for sales adjustments, which reduces net accounts 
receivable and revenue. The reserve for sales adjustments is based 
upon specific and general customer information, including outstanding 
promotional credits, customer disputes, credit adjustments not yet 
processed through the billing system and historical activity.  If the 
financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, or management 
becomes aware of new information impacting a customer’s credit risk, 
additional allowances may be required.

Accounting for leases and leasehold improvements. We record leases as 
capital or operating leases and account for leasehold improvements in 
accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and related 
literature. Rent expense for operating leases is recorded in accordance 
with FASB Technical Bulletin Financial Accounting Standards Board 
(FTB) No. 88-1, “Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases.” This FTB 
requires lease agreements that include periods of free rent or other 
incentives, specific escalating lease payments, or both, to be recorded 
on a straight-line or other systematic basis over the initial lease term 
and those renewal periods that are reasonably assured. The difference 
between rent expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent in non-
current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments. We account for investments without readily determinable 
fair values at historical cost, as determined by our initial investment. The 
recorded value of cost-basis investments is periodically reviewed to 
determine the propriety of the recorded basis. When a decline in the 
value that is judged to be other than temporary has occurred, based on 
available data, the cost basis is reduced and an investment loss is 
recorded. We have a $1.2 million equity investment at December 31, 
2005 in Aventail Corporation (Aventail), an early-stage, privately held 
company, after having reduced the balance for an impairment loss of 
$4.8 million in 2001. The carrying value of our investment in Aventail is 
recorded in non-current investments in our consolidated balance sheet.

Investments in marketable securities primarily include high credit 
quality corporate debt securities and U.S. Government Agency debt 
securities. These investments are classified as available for sale and 
are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other 
comprehensive income.

Goodwill. We recorded goodwill as a result of our acquisitions of CO 
Space, VPNX.com, netVmg, and Sockeye. We account for goodwill under 
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This statement 
requires an impairment-only approach to accounting for goodwill. The 
SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment model is a two-step process. First, 
it requires a comparison of the book value of net assets to the fair value 
of the related operations that have goodwill assigned to them. If the fair 
value is determined to be less than book value, a second step is performed 
to compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value 
for goodwill is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations 
used in the first step, and is compared to the carrying value for goodwill. 
Any shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount 
of goodwill impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill to be tested for 
impairment annually at the same time every year and when an event 
occurs or circumstances change such that it is reasonably possible that 
impairment may exist. We selected August 1 as our annual testing date.

To assist us in estimating the fair value for purposes of completing the 
first step of the SFAS No. 142 analysis, we engaged a professional 
business valuation and appraisal firm who utilized discounted cash flow 
valuation methods and the guideline company method for reasonable-
ness. The forecasts of future cash flows was based on our best estimate 
of future revenue, operating costs and general market conditions, and 
was subject to review and approval by senior management. Both 
approaches to determining fair value depend on our stock price since 
market capitalization will impact the discount rate to be applied as well 
as a market multiple analyses. Changes in the forecast could cause us 
to either pass or fail the first step test and could result in the impairment 
of goodwill.

We account for investments that provide us with the ability to exercise 
significant influence, but not control, over an investee using the equity 
method of accounting. Significant influence, but not control, is generally 
deemed to exist if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of 
the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as 
minority interest protections, are considered in determining whether the 
equity method of accounting is appropriate. As of December 31, 2005, 
Internap Japan Co, Ltd. (Internap Japan), our joint venture with NTT-ME 
Corporation of Japan and another NTT affiliate, qualifies for equity 
method accounting. We record our proportional share of the income and 
losses of Internap Japan one month in arrears on the consolidated 
balance sheets as a component of non-current investments and as 
other income, net on the consolidated statement of operations.

Accruals for disputed telecommunication costs. In delivering our services, 
we rely on a number of Internet network, telecommunication and other 
vendors. We work directly with these vendors to provision services such 
as establishing, modifying or discontinuing services for our customers. 
Because of the volume of activity, billing disputes inevitably arise. These 
disputes typically stem from disagreements concerning the starting and 
ending dates of service, quoted rates, usage and various other factors. 
For potential billing errors made in the vendor’s favor, for example a 
duplicate billing, we initiate a formal dispute with the vendor and record 
the related cost and liability on a range of 5% to 100% of the disputed 
amount, depending on our assessment of the likely outcome of the 
dispute. Conversely, for billing errors in our favor, such as the vendor’s 
failure to invoice us for new service, we record an estimate for the

related cost and liability based on the full amount that we should have been 
invoiced. Disputed costs, both in the vendors’ favor and our favor, are 
researched and discussed with vendors on an ongoing basis until ultimately 
resolved. Estimates are periodically reviewed by management and modified 
in light of new information or developments, if any. Conversely, any resolved 
disputes which will result in a credit over the disputed amounts are 
recognized in the appropriate month when the resolution has been 
determined. Because estimates regarding disputed costs include 
assessments of uncertain outcomes, such estimates are inherently 
vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circumstances that could 
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

Accrued liabilities. Similar to accruals for disputed telecommunications 
costs above, it is necessary for us to estimate other significant costs 
such as utilities and sales, use, telecommunications and other taxes. 
These estimates are often necessary either because invoices for ser-
vices are not received on a timely basis from our vendors or by virtue of 
the complexity surrounding the costs. In every instance in which an 
estimate is necessary, we record the related cost and liability based on 
all available facts and circumstances, including but not limited to histori-
cal trends, related usage, forecasts and quotes. Estimates are periodi-
cally reviewed by management and modified in light of new information 
or developments, if any. Because estimates regarding accrued liabilities 
include assessments of uncertain outcomes, such estimates are inher-
ently vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circumstances that could 
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

Restructuring liability. When circumstances warrant, we may elect to exit 
certain business activities or change the manner in which we conduct 
ongoing operations. When such a change is made, management will 
estimate the costs to exit a business or restructure ongoing operations. 
The components of the estimates may include estimates and assump-
tions regarding the timing and costs of future events and activities that 
represent management’s best expectations based on known facts and 
circumstances at the time of estimation. Management periodically 
reviews its restructuring estimates and assumptions relative to new 
information, if any, of which it becomes aware. Should circumstances 
warrant, management will adjust its previous estimates to reflect what 
it then believes to be a more accurate representation of expected future 
costs. Because management’s estimates and assumptions regarding 
restructuring costs include probabilities of future events, such estimates 
are inherently vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circumstances, 
changes in market conditions, regulatory changes, changes in existing 
business practices and other circumstances that could materially and 
adversely affect our results of operations. A 10% change in our 
restructuring estimates in a future period, compared to the $6.3 million 
restructuring liability at December 31, 2005 would result in an $0.6 million 
expense or benefit in the statement of operations during the period in 
which the change in estimate occurred.

Deferred taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred 
tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Since 
inception we have recorded a valuation allowance equal to our net 
deferred tax assets. Although we consider the potential for future taxable 
income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in 
assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event we determine 
we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess 
of our net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance 
would increase income in the period such determination was made.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting for Changes 
and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB 
Statement No.3” to prescribe the related accounting and disclosures. 
The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for changes and error 
corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. 
We will adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2006.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), 
“Share-Based Payment,” which is known as SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS 
No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an Amendment of 
FASB Statement No. 123.” Among other things, SFAS No. 123(R) 
eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of account-
ing for stock-based compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) requires public 
entities to recognize compensation expense for awards of equity instru-
ments to employees based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. 
On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 
No. 107, providing the SEC Staff’s view regarding the interaction 
between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, and 
the valuation of share-based payment arrangements. On April 15, 2005, 
the SEC amended Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X, extending the effec-
tive date of SFAS No. 123(R) to the first annual reporting period of the 
registrant’s first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005.

We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), subsequent FASB Staff 
Positions, and guidance in SAB No. 107, beginning in the first quarter of 
2006. We are evaluating the requirements under SFAS No. 123(R) and 
expect the adoption to have a significant adverse impact on our consoli-
dated statements of operations and net income per share, comparable 
to our pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123. However, the actual 
effect on net income or loss and earnings or loss per share after adopting 
SFAS No. 123(R) will vary depending upon the number of options granted 
in 2006 compared to prior years. In addition, we will also recognize 
compensation expense related to our employee stock purchase plan for 
the six-month purchase period ending June 30, 2006. We have modi-
fied our employee stock purchase plan to make it a non-compensatory

plan for all purchase periods subsequent to June 30, 2006. Based on 
the level of participation and volatility of our stock in 2005, we estimate 
that compensation expense will be less than $0.1 million per purchase 
period in 2006.  

enters the application development stage until implementation of the 
software has been completed. All other product development costs are 
expensed as incurred.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue is generated primarily from the sale of Internet connectivity 
services at fixed rates or usage-based pricing to our customers that desire 
a DS-3 or faster connection and related data center services. In addition to 
our connectivity and data center services, we also provide premise-based 
route optimization products and other ancillary services, such as CDN, 
server management and installation services, virtual private networking 
services, managed security services, data backup, remote storage and 
restoration services.

Direct cost of revenue is comprised primarily of:

•  costs for connecting to and accessing Internet network service  

providers and competitive local exchange providers;

•  costs related to operating and maintaining network access  

points and data centers;

•  costs incurred for providing additional third-party services  

to our customers and;

•  costs of Flow Control Platform solution and similar products sold.

To the extent a network access point is located a distance from the 
respective Internet network service providers, we may incur additional 
local loop charges on a recurring basis. Connectivity costs vary depend-
ing on customer demands and pricing variables while network access 
point facility costs are generally fixed in nature. Direct cost of revenue 
does not include compensation, depreciation or amortization.

Customer support costs consist primarily of employee compensation 
costs for employees engaged in connecting customers to our network, 
installing customer equipment into network access point facilities, and 
servicing customers through our network operations centers. In addition, 
facilities costs associated with the network operations center are 
included in customer support costs.

Product development costs consist principally of compensation and other 
personnel costs, consultant fees and prototype costs related to the 
design, development and testing of our proprietary technology, enhance-
ment of our network management software and development of internal 
systems. Costs for software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed 
are capitalized upon establishing technological feasibility and ending 
when the software is available for general release to customers. Costs 
associated with internal use software are capitalized when the software 

Sales and marketing costs consist of compensation, commissions and 
other costs for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and field service 
support functions, as well as advertising, tradeshows, direct response 
programs, new service point launch events, management of our website 
and other promotional costs.

General and administrative costs consist primarily of compensation and 
other expense for executive, finance, human resources and administra-
tive personnel, professional fees and other general corporate costs.

The revenue and income potential of our business and market is unproven, 
and our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our 
prospects. Although we have been in existence since 1996, we have 
incurred significant operational restructurings in recent years, which 
have included substantial changes in our senior management team, a 
reduction in headcount from a high of 860 employees to 334 employees 
at December 31, 2005, streamlining our cost structure, consolidating 
network access points, terminating certain non-strategic real estate 
leases and license arrangements and moving our corporate office from 
Seattle, Washington to Atlanta, Georgia to further reduce costs. We have 
incurred net losses in each quarterly and annual period since we began 
operations in May 1996. As of December 31, 2005, our accumulated 
deficit was $860.1 million.

Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

Revenue. Revenue for 2005 increased $9.1 million, or 6%, from $144.5 
million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $153.7 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2005 summarized as follows (in thousands):

17,706

36,226  
17,643  

  $153,717  $144,546

The increase in total revenue was primarily attributable to increases in 
data center services revenue of $10.5 million, or 41%, to $36.2 million. 
This increase principally results from growth in new and existing custom-
ers as we have expanded our available data center space. A generally 
positive technology services environment along with a continued focus 
on selling and managing data center services also contributed to the 
revenue increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. 
Similar to past years, revenue for the three months ending December 31, 
2005 was also modestly enhanced by our customers’ increased holiday 
traffic, much of which was subject to “bursting rates” for exceeding rate 
caps. Revenue from our Edge Appliance products contributed $4.2 million 
of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $2.7 million 
for the prior year. Offsetting the increase in revenue from data center 
services and Edge Appliance products were decreases of $1.3 million 
from IP connectivity services and decreases of $0.9 million in non-
recurring and other revenue. Although the number of IP customers 
and volume has increased during the year ended December 31, 2005, 
revenue from IP connectivity services continues to decrease as a result of 
repricing of our customer base. Non-recurring and other revenue includes 
termination fees and service revenue from VPN, managed security, 
managing customer premise equipment, and data storage services.

Our customer base increased by more than 150 customers to approxi-
mately 2,100 at December 31, 2005, an 8% increase from December 31, 
2004. While our customer base grew from a year ago, revenue per 
customer continued to decrease due to price reductions in charges for 
our Internet connectivity services necessitated by general market 
conditions. We expect a continuing trend of future revenue increases 
to include an increasing percentage of revenue from non-connectivity 
products and services than in the past, particularly from data centers 
and the sale of our FCP solution and other Edge Appliance technology.

One of our largest data center customer’s contract expired as of 
December 31, 2005 and was not renewed due largely to the customer’s 
financial constraints. Because of the customer’s financial status, sub-
stantially all of the customer’s uncollected 2005 revenue and accounts 

receivable were reserved as services were invoiced. At December 31, 
2005, we believe the financial statements accurately reflect collectible 
revenue and accounts receivable for this customer. In spite of the loss 
of this customer, we fully anticipate the lost revenue to be more than 
replaced from new and existing customers.

Direct cost of revenue. Direct cost of revenue increased from $77.0 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $82.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2005, representing an increase of 6%. Our gross margins, 
defined as revenue less direct cost of revenue excluding depreciation 
and amortization expense, improved to $71.8 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2005 compared to $67.6 million for the same period in 
2004. This increase in gross margin is a result of our leveraging fixed 
data center and other service point facility costs over an increased 
customer base and negotiating lower rates with service providers.

The increase of $5.0 million in direct cost of revenues was primarily 
due to increased costs related to expanded data centers, representing 
$10.7 million, offset by decreases in costs from our IP connectivity 
services of $3.5 million due to favorable contract negotiations with service 
providers and improved network efficiencies. The increase was also 
offset by decreased expenses related to P-NAP® facility costs and 
decreased CDN expense of $1.1 million each.

Connectivity costs vary based upon customer traffic and other demand-
based pricing variables. Data center costs have substantial fixed cost 
components, primarily for rent, but also significant demand-based 
pricing variables. Edge Appliance and CDN and other costs associated 
with reseller arrangements are generally variable in nature. We expect 
all of these costs to continue to increase during 2006 as revenue 
increases. Data center services are giving us access to new customers 
in which we can bundle hosting and connectivity services together, 
potentially generating greater combined gross margins. At December 31, 
2005, we had approximately 124,000 square feet of data center space 
with a utilization rate of approximately 76%.

Customer support. Customer support expense increased 5% from 
$10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $10.7 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase of $0.5 million is 
comparable to revenue growth and was primarily driven by compensation 
and benefits of $0.3 million for higher staffing levels, along with 
increases of $0.2 million in costs for outside professional services.

Product development. Product development costs for the year ended 
December 31, 2005 decreased 23% to $4.9 million from $6.4 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease of $1.5 million 
was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.6 million in compensation and 
employee benefits, along with a $0.2 million decrease in office equip-
ment maintenance costs. The decrease in compensation and employee

benefit costs were related to organizational changes that allowed us to 
reprioritize projects and more efficiently utilize certain employees. The 
decrease in product development costs is also attributed to the capital-
ization of certain project development costs in 2005. These decreases 
were partially offset by an increase in outside professional service 
expense of $0.3 million.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing costs for the year ended 
December 31, 2005 increased 11% to $25.9 million from $23.4 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to an increased focus for 
marketing Edge Appliances and technology and expansion in the Asia-
Pacific region. The net increase of $2.5 million was primarily due to 
increases in commissions and other compensation expense of $2.1 million 
as well as increases in outside professional services totaling $0.4 million, 
and a $0.5 million increase in facility expense. These increases were 
partially offset by decreases in marketing-related expenses of $0.4 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative costs for the 
year ended December 31, 2005 decreased 19% to $20.1 million from 
$24.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease of 
$4.7 million primarily reflects a $2.7 million gross reduction in taxes, 
licenses, and fees, a $1.7 million decrease in outside professional 
services, $1.3 million reduction in facility, communication, and office 
equipment, repairs, and maintenance expense, and a $1.0 million 
decrease in bad debt expense. These reductions were partially offset 
by increases of $2.0 million in employee compensation and benefits.

The reduction in taxes, licenses and fees related to the combination of 
(1) an accrual in July 2004 for an assessment from the New York State 
Department of Taxation and Finance for $1.4 million, including interest 
and penalties, resulting from an audit of our state franchise tax returns 
for the years 2000–2002 and (2) a reduction of the accrual in April 2005 
when we became aware that the assessment had been reduced to 
$0.1 million, including interest and with penalties waived. The substan-
tial decrease from the original assessment was a result of including the 
weighted averages of investment capital and subsidiary capital, along 
with business capital, used in New York in determining the apportion-
ment factor. The original assessment was based solely on an apportion-
ment of business capital, while investment capital and subsidiary capital 
both have significantly lower apportionment percentages to New York.

The decrease in outside professional services of $1.7 million is largely 
due to substantially less use of consultants and contractors in 2005 
compared to the Sarbanes-Oxley initiatives and implementation in 2004. 
The improvement in facility and related costs are attributed to focused 
cost controls and a much more centrally-managed purchasing function. 
The reduction in bad debt expense is due largely to an accrual for a 
large customer balance in 2004 along with more favorable collections 
experience in 2005.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, including 
other intangible assets, for the year ended December 31, 2005 decreased 
4% to $15.3 million compared to $16.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2004. The decrease of $0.7 million was primarily due 
to assets becoming fully depreciated during 2005, which were not 
replaced by the same level of purchases of property and equipment as 
during prior years.

Restructuring cost. For the year ended December 31, 2005 we incurred 
less than $0.1 million of additional restructuring costs. These additional 
costs were primarily the result of a change in estimated expenses related 
to real estate obligations.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, the net charge of $3.6 million 
to restructuring resulted from an increase of $5.3 million relating to 
real estate obligations offset by a reduction of $1.7 million pertaining to 
network infrastructure and other obligations. After reviewing the analysis 
in the third quarter of 2004, management concluded that the facilities 
remaining in the restructuring accrual were taking longer than expected 
to sublease and those that were subleased resulted in lower than expected 
sublease rates. Consequently, the projected obligations exceeded the 
unadjusted liability by $5.3 million over the remaining lease terms. During 
the quarter ended September 30, 2004, all remaining contractual 
obligations for network infrastructure and other costs included in the 
restructuring were satisfied and we reduced the remaining recorded 
liability for the obligations from $1.7 million to zero.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

These overall increases in revenue were primarily due to an increase in 
our customer base of approximately 291 customers, a 16% increase. 
While our customer base grew from a year ago, revenue per customer 
decreased due to price reductions in charges for our Internet connectiv-
ity services necessitated by general market conditions. We expect the 
composition of any future revenue increases will include an increasing 
percentage of revenue from non-connectivity products and services 
than in the past, particularly from the sale of our Edge Appliance tech-
nology, which includes our FCP solution.

Direct cost of revenue. Direct cost of revenue decreased from $78.2 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $77.0 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2004, representing a decrease of 2%. For the 
year ended December 31, 2004, our revenue less direct cost of revenue 
improved to $67.5 million compared to $60.4 million for the same 
period in 2003. This increase is a result of our leveraging of fixed data 
center and other service point facility costs over an increased customer 
base and negotiating lower rates with service providers. The decrease 
of $1.2 million in direct cost of revenues was due to reduced network 
service provider costs and lower local loop pass-through costs of 
$8.2 million. Off-setting the decrease in network service provider 
costs and lower local loop pass-through costs were an increase in 
data center services expense of $3.1 million due to the increased 
usage of these services by our customers, along with increases in 
channel, technology, and preferred colocation partner product cost of 
$1.8 million. An additional increase of $1.5 million in direct cost of 
revenue is attributed to resale of network equipment, resulting from 
acquisitions completed by us in 2003, along with an increase of  
$0.4 million pertaining to facilities costs.

Connectivity costs vary based upon customer traffic and other demand- 
based pricing variables and are expected to continue to decrease during 
2005, even with modest revenue growth, due to the full-year effect of 
pricing improvements negotiated during 2004. CDN and other costs 
associated with reseller arrangements are generally variable in  
nature. We expect these costs to continue to increase during 2005  
as revenue increases.

Customer support. Customer support expense increased 7% from 
$9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $10.2 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase of $0.7 million 
was primarily driven by compensation and benefits of $0.8 million  
for higher staffing levels, along with decreases of $0.2 million  
in communications.

support to network support in general and administrative expense offset 
by new hiring for other responsibilities.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing costs for the year ended 
December 31, 2004 increased 9% to $23.4 million from $21.5 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase of $1.9 million 
was primarily due to an increase in quota-bearing resources as well as 
the commensurate expenses associated with the new hires. A portion 
of these increases can also be attributed to increased training and 
productivity improvements.

General and administrative. General and administrative costs for the year 
ended December 31, 2004 increased 49% to $24.8 million from 
$16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase of 
$8.1 million primarily reflects increases of $4.2 million in outside 
professional services,  $1.3 million in office equipment repairs and 
maintenance, $0.8 million in employee compensation, $0.4 million in 
tax, license, and fees and $0.4 million in communications costs. Con-
sulting and outside professional services principally include compliance 
costs related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.   Also included in the 
increase is the $1.7 million from redeployment of certain technical 
resources from product development to network support.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, including 
other intangible assets, for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased 
57% to $16.0 million compared to $37.2 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2003. The decrease of $21.2 million was primarily due to 
assets becoming fully depreciated during 2004, which were not replaced 
by the same level of purchases of property and equipment as during 
prior years.

Restructuring cost (benefit). We incurred restructuring costs of $3.6 million 
during the year ended December 31, 2004 as a result of a comprehen-
sive analysis of the remaining accrued restructuring liability. During the 
quarter ended September 30, 2004, a new sublease was negotiated 
on one abandoned property and new terms involving a reconfiguration 
of usable and abandoned space were negotiated with the lessor on 
another abandoned property, both of which were included in the original 
restructuring. The last of our restructured network infrastructure obliga-
tions was also terminated during the quarter ended September 30, 
2004. The net charge to restructuring resulted from an increase of 
$5.3 million relating to real estate obligations offset by a reduction of 
$1.7 million pertaining to network infrastructure and other obligations.

Product development. Product development costs for the year ended 
December 31, 2004 decreased 9% to $6.4 million from $7.0 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2003. The net decrease of $0.6 million 
primarily reflects the redeployment of technical resources from product 

After reviewing the analysis in the third quarter of 2004, management 
concluded that the facilities remaining in the restructuring accrual are 
taking longer than expected to sublease and those that were subleased 
resulted in lower than expected sublease rates. Consequently, the 
currently projected obligations exceeded the unadjusted liability by

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

$5.3 million over the remaining lease terms, with the last commitment 
expiring in July 2015. All of these leases arose from our 2000 acquisi-
tion of CO Space. The network infrastructure obligations represented 
amounts to be incurred under contractual obligations in existence at 
the time the restructuring plan was initiated.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, all other remaining 
contractual obligations for network infrastructure and other costs 
included in the restructuring were satisfied and we reduced the remain-
ing recorded liability for the obligations from $1.7 million to zero.

Restructuring costs were $1.1 million for 2003 reflecting non-cash 
restructuring plan adjustments and write-downs net of additional 2003 
restructuring and impairment charges.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net consists of interest income, 
interest and financing expense, investment losses and other non-
operating expense. Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 
2004 decreased to $1.2 million from $3.0 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2004. The decrease is due primarily to $1.0 million less 
interest expense from carrying less debt than in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow for the Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 
and 2003

Net cash from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating 
activities was $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, 
and was primarily due to the net loss of $5.0 million adjusted for non-
cash items of $20.1 million offset by changes in working capital items 
of $9.3 million. The changes in working capital items include net use 
of cash for accounts payable of $5.4 million, accounts receivable of 
$3.6 million, accrued restructuring of $1.9 million, and $0.2 million of 
inventory, prepaid expense and other assets. These were offset by net 
sources of cash in accrued liabilities of $0.8 million and deferred revenue 
of $1.0 million. The increase in receivables at December 31, 2005 
compared to December 31, 2004 was related to the 6% increase in 
revenue. The decrease in payables is primarily related to a general 
decrease in expenses when compared to last year.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.2 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2004, and was primarily due to the net loss of $18.1 million 
adjusted for non-cash items of $20.8 million offset by changes in working 
capital items of $3.9 million. The changes in working capital items include 
net use of cash for accounts receivable of $3.8 million, deferred revenue 
of $1.7 million, and accrued liabilities of $1.3 million. These were offset 
by net sources of cash in inventory, prepaid expense and other assets of 
$1.6 million, accounts payable of $0.9 million and accrued restructuring 
costs of $0.5 million. The increase in receivables at December 31, 2004 

compared to December 31, 2003 was related to the 4% increase in 
revenue compared to the prior year as day’s sales outstanding increased 
to 41 from 39 days. The increase in payables is primarily related to more 
stringent cash controls in 2004 compared to 2003.

Net cash used in operating activities was $11.2 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2003, and was primarily due to the net loss of 
$34.6 million adjusted for non-cash items of $41.7 million, offset by net 
uses of cash for accrued restructuring costs of $6.7 million, accounts 
payable of $5.9 million, deferred revenue of $4.5 million, accounts 
receivable of $2.7 million and accrued liabilities of $1.1 million. These 
uses of cash were offset by a $2.6 million decrease in inventory, prepaid 
expense and other assets. The increase in receivables at December 31, 
2003 compared to December 31, 2002 was related to the 5% increase 
in revenue compared to the prior year as day’s sales outstanding remained 
constant at 39 days. The decrease in payables is primarily related to a 
lower overall level of operating expense in 2003 compared to 2002.

Net cash from investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities 
for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $9.8 million primarily due 
to capital expenditures of $10.2 million. Our capital expenditures were 
principally comprised of leasehold improvements related to the upgrade 
of several data center facilities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 
was $29.7 million and primarily consisted of capital expenditures of 
$13.1 million and total investments in marketable securities of $16.8 million, 
partially offset by proceeds from disposal of property and equipment and 
a reduction in restricted cash of $0.1 million. Our capital expenditures 
were principally comprised of the buy-out of capital leases from a primary 
supplier of network equipment during the third quarter and build-outs of 
data center and office space in the latter-half of the year.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 
2003 was $0.6 million and primarily consisted of net cash received 
from acquired businesses of $2.3 million and a reduction in restricted 
cash of $2.1 million, partially offset by purchases of property and 
equipment of $3.8 million. The purchase of property and equipment 
related to the purchase of assets for our network infrastructure and the 
cost related to the relocation of nine network access points.

Net cash from financing activities. Since our inception, we have financed 
our operations primarily through the issuance of our equity securities, 
capital leases and bank loans. See “Liquidity” below. Net cash used in 
financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $5.4 million. 
Cash used in financing activity included principal payments on notes 
payable of $6.5 million and payments on capital lease obligations of 
$0.5 million. These payments were partially offset by proceeds received 
from the exercise of stock options of $1.5 million. As a result of these

activities, we had $12.0 million in notes payable and $0.8 million in  
capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2005 with $4.9 million  
in notes payable and capital leases scheduled as due within the  
next 12 months.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 
2004 was $45.7 million. In September 2004, we negotiated the buy-out 
of all remaining lease schedules under a master lease agreement with a 
primary supplier of network equipment. Under the terms of the buy-out 
agreement, we paid the supplier $19.7 million, representing remaining 
capital lease payment obligations, end-of-lease asset values and sales 
tax. The $19.7 million buy-out was paid with $2.2 million in cash on hand 
and the proceeds from the new $17.5 million term loan from a bank.

On March 4, 2004, we sold 40.25 million shares of our common stock 
in a public offering at a purchase price of $1.50 per share which resulted 
in net proceeds to us of $55.9 million after deducting underwriting 
discounts and commissions and offering expense. We continue to use 
the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. 
General corporate purposes primarily include capital investments in 
our network access point infrastructure and systems, expansion of data 
center facilities and repayment of debt and capital lease obligations. 
General corporate purposes could also include potential acquisitions 
of complementary businesses or technologies. In addition, we received 
$5.0 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants during 
the year ended December 31, 2004. Cash used in financing activities 
included $24.3 million toward reducing our notes payable and afore-
mentioned capital lease obligations and $8.4 million to repay the  
outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 
2003 was $4.3 million. Cash provided included net proceeds from 
issuance of common stock of $9.3 million and proceeds from exercise 
of stock options and warrants of $4.0 million. Net cash provided by 
financing activities was reduced by principal payments on notes payable 
of $4.6 million, payments on capital lease obligations of $2.8 million 
and a $1.6 million net reduction in our revolving credit facility. The net 
proceeds of $9.3 million from issuance of common stock was received 
in August 2003 when we completed the sale, pursuant to a private 
placement, of 10.65 million shares of our common stock, par value 
$0.001 per share, at a price of $0.95 per share.

Capital equipment leases have been used since inception to finance the 
majority of our networking equipment located in our network access 
points other than leasehold improvements related to our data center 
facilities. Payments under capital lease agreements totaled $0.6 million, 
$20.3 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 
2004 and 2003, respectively.

LIQUIDITY
We have a history of quarterly and annual period net losses. We 
incurred net losses of $5.0 million, $18.1 million and $34.6 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As 
of December 31, 2005, our accumulated deficit was $860.1 million. We 
may incur additional operating losses in the future. Given the competi-
tive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we 
cannot guarantee that we will sustain or increase profitability on a 
quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to do so would adversely affect  
our business, including our ability to raise additional funds.

Although we experienced positive operating cash flow for the year 
ended December 31, 2005, we have a history of negative operating 
cash flow and have depended upon equity and debt financings, as well 
as borrowings under our credit facilities, to meet our cash requirements. 
In 2006, we expect a steady increase in cash flows from operations 
based on current projections in our 2006 business plan. We expect to 
meet our cash requirements in 2006 through a combination of cash 
from operating cash flows, existing cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments in marketable securities, borrowings under our credit 
facilities and proceeds from our public offering in March of 2004. Our 
capital requirements depend on several factors, including the rate of 
market acceptance of our services, the ability to expand and retain our 
customer base, and other factors. If our cash requirements vary materi-
ally from those currently planned, if our cost reduction initiatives have 
unanticipated adverse effects on our business, or if we fail to generate 
sufficient cash flow from the sales of our services, we may require 
additional financing sooner than anticipated. We cannot assure you that 
we will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially favorable 
terms, or at all. Provisions in our existing credit facility limit our ability to 
incur additional indebtedness.

Revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2005, we had a $10.0 million 
revolving credit facility and a $17.5 million term loan under a loan and 
security agreement with a bank. The agreement was reviewed and 
amended as of December 27, 2005 to reduce the amount available for 
borrowing under the revolving credit agreement from $15.0 million to 
$10.0 million, increase letter of credit sub-limit from $5.0 million  
to $6.0 million, to extend the expiration date of the revolving credit 
facility from December 27, 2005 to December 27, 2006 and update 
loan covenants.

Availability under the revolving credit facility is based on 80% of eligible 
accounts receivable plus 50% of unrestricted cash and marketable 
investments. As of December 31, 2005, $4.1 million of letters of credit 
were issued, and we had available $5.9 million in borrowing capacity 
under the revolving credit facility.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MD&A

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The credit facility contains certain covenants, including covenants that 
restrict our ability to incur further indebtedness. The December 28, 2005 
changes to the loan covenants include the elimination of the minimum 
Cash EBITDA requirement, as defined by the agreement, and the addi-
tion of a minimum tangible net worth requirement.

As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with the various loan 
covenants. We were in violation of a previous loan covenant that required 
a minimum Cash EBITDA, as defined in the credit facility, for the three-
month period ended September 30, 2005 by $1.3 million. The violation 
resulted primarily from our continued expansion of data center facilities 
that caused the minimum Cash EBITDA for the period to be less than 
the level required under the agreement. On November 3, 2005, we 
received a formal waiver of the covenant violation. As discussed above, 
the agreement was amended as of December 27, 2005 to eliminate 
the minimum Cash EBITDA requirement.

Note payable to financial institutions. The $17.5 million term loan noted 
with the revolving credit facility above has a fixed interest rate of 7.5% 
and is due in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus interest 
through September 1, 2008. The balance outstanding at December 31, 
2005 was $12.0 million. Proceeds from the loan were used to purchase 
assets recorded as capital leases under a master agreement with a 
primary supplier of networking equipment. The loan is secured by all of 
our assets, except patents.

Commitments and other obligations. We have commitments and other 
obligations that are contractual in nature and will represent a use of cash in 
the future unless there are modifications to the terms of those agreements. 
Network commitments primarily represent purchase commitments made 
to our largest bandwidth vendors and contractual payments to license data 
center space used for resale to customers. Our ability to improve cash used 
in operations in the future would be negatively impacted if we do not grow 
our business at a rate that would allow us to offset the service commit-
ments with corresponding revenue growth.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Common and preferred stock. Effective September 14, 2004, all shares 
of our outstanding series A convertible preferred stock were mandatorily 
converted into common stock in accordance with the terms of our 
Certificate of Incorporation. An aggregate of 1.8 million shares of con-
vertible preferred stock with a recorded value of $51.8 million was 
converted into 56.2 million shares of common stock during the quarter 
ended September 30, 2004. Accordingly, we had no shares of series A 
convertible preferred stock outstanding subsequent to the mandatory 
conversion. The mandatory conversion had no effect on the outstanding 
warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in conjunction 
with the series A preferred stock.

On March 4, 2004, we sold 40.25 million shares of our common stock 
in a public offering at a purchase price of $1.50 per share which 
resulted in net proceeds to us of $55.9 million, after deducting under-
writing discounts and commissions and offering expense. We continue 
to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. 
General corporate purposes primarily include capital investments in 
our network access point infrastructure and systems, expansion of data 
center facilities and repayment of debt and capital lease obligations. 
General corporate purposes could also include potential acquisitions 
of complementary businesses or technologies.

On August 22, 2003, we completed a private placement of 10.65 million 
shares of our common stock at a price of $0.95 per share. We received 
$9.5 million, net of issuance costs. Because we issued shares of our 
common stock in the private placement at a price below the conversion 
price of the series A preferred stock at that time, the number of shares 
of common stock into which the outstanding shares of series A preferred 
stock were convertible increased by 34.5 million shares. In accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles, we recorded a deemed 
dividend of $34.6 million, which was attributable to the additional 
incremental number of shares of common stock issuable upon conver-
sion of the series A preferred stock.

Lease facilities. Since our inception, we have financed the purchase  
of substantial network routing equipment using capital leases with a 
primary supplier. As discussed below, we negotiated the buy-out of all 
remaining lease schedules under a master lease agreement with the 
primary supplier in September 2004. Our future minimum lease pay-
ments on remaining capital lease obligations at December 31, 2005 
totaled $0.9 million, with $0.8 million representing the present value  
of minimum lease payments.

The negotiated buy-out of all remaining lease schedules under the 
master lease agreement with the supplier of network equipment 
included a cash payment of $19.7 million, comprising remaining capital 
lease obligations as of September 30, 2004, along with end-of-lease 
asset values and sales tax, resulting in a $2.2 million increase to fixed 
assets. The $19.7 million buy-out was funded through $2.2 million in 
cash on hand and the proceeds from the aforementioned $17.5 million 
term loan from a bank. As of December 31, 2005, our other remaining 
capital lease has an expiration date of June 2007.

RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT COSTS

With overcapacity created in the Internet connectivity market and 
IP services market, we implemented restructuring plans that resulted 
in significant charges in 2001 and 2002 for real estate and network 
infrastructure obligations, personnel and other charges. Additional 
charges were also incurred during 2003 and 2004 as we continued 
to evaluate our restructuring reserve. We may incur additional charges 
in future periods.

2003 Restructuring costs. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we 
incurred $1.1 million in restructuring costs which primarily represented 
retention bonuses and moving expenses related to the relocation of our 
corporate office to Atlanta, Georgia from Seattle, Washington.

2004 Restructuring costs. We incurred net additional restructuring costs 
of $3.6 million during 2004 as a result of a comprehensive analysis of 
the remaining accrued restructuring liability. After reviewing the analysis, 
management concluded that the facilities remaining in the restructuring 
accrual were taking longer than expected to sublease and those  
that were subleased resulted in lower than expected sublease rates. 
Consequently, the projected obligations exceeded the unadjusted 
liability by $5.3 million over the remaining lease terms, with the last 
commitment expiring in July 2015. During the quarter ended September 30, 
2004, all other remaining contractual obligations for network infrastruc-
ture and other costs included in the restructuring were satisfied and 
we reduced the remaining recorded liability for the obligations from 
$1.7 million to zero.

2005 Restructuring costs. Restructuring charges totaling less than  
$0.1 million during 2005 primarily resulted from a change in estimated 
expenses related to real estate obligations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As discussed in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, we 
maintain a 51% ownership interest in Internap Japan, a joint venture 
with NTT-ME Corporation of Japan and another NTT affiliate. We are 
unable to assert control over the joint venture’s operational and financial 
policies and practices required to account for the joint venture as a 
subsidiary whose assets, liabilities, revenue and expense would be 
consolidated (due to certain minority interest protections afforded to 
our joint venture partners).

As discussed in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements,  
there were warrants outstanding to purchase 15.0 million shares  
of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.95 per share as of  
December 31, 2005.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES  
ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash and short-term deposits 
at our financial institutions. Due to the short-term nature of our deposits, 
they are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. As of December 31, 
2005, all of our cash equivalents mature within three months.

Other investments. We have a $1.2 million equity investment in Aventail, 
an early stage, privately held company, after having reduced the balance 
for an impairment loss of $4.8 million in 2001. This strategic investment 
is inherently risky, in part because the market for the products or services 
being offered or developed by Aventail has not been proven. Because 
of risk associated with this investment, we could lose our entire initial 
investment in Aventail. Furthermore we have invested $4.1 million in 
Internap Japan, our joint venture with NTT-ME Corporation and another 
NTT affiliate. This investment is accounted for using the equity-method 
and to date we have recognized $3.6 million in equity-method losses, 
representing our proportionate share of the aggregate joint venture 
losses and income. Furthermore, the joint venture investment is 
subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. In addition, the market 
for services being offered by Internap Japan has not been proven and 
may never materialize.

Notes payable. As of December 31, 2005 we had notes payable recorded 
at their present value of $12.0 million bearing a rate of interest which 
we believe is commensurate with their associated market risk.

Capital leases. As of December 31, 2005 we had capital leases recorded 
at $0.8 million reflecting the present value of future lease payments. We 
believe the interest rates used in calculating the present values of these 
lease payments are a reasonable approximation of fair value and their 
associated market risk is minimal.

Credit facility. As of December 31, 2005 we had $5.9 million available 
under our revolving credit facility with a bank, and the balance outstand-
ing under the $17.5 million term loan was $12.0 million. The interest 
rate for the loan was fixed at 7.5%. The interest rate under the revolving 
credit facility is variable and was 8% at December 31, 2005. We believe 
these interest rates are reasonable approximations of fair value and the 
market risk is minimal.

Interest rate risk. Our objective in managing interest rate risk is to 
maintain favorable long-term fixed rate or a balance of fixed and variable 
rate debt that will lower our overall borrowing costs within reasonable 
risk parameters. Currently, our strategy for managing interest rate 
risk does not include the use of derivative securities. The table below 
presents principal cash flows by expected maturity dates for our debt 
obligations that extend beyond one year as of December 31, 2005 
(dollars in thousands):

Foreign currency risk. Substantially all of our revenue is currently in 
United States dollars and from customers primarily in the United States. 
Therefore, we do not believe we currently have any significant direct 
foreign currency exchange rate risk.

NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND  

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Internap Network Services Corporation (“Internap,” “we,” “us,” “our” or 
the “Company”) provides high performance, managed Internet connec-
tivity solutions to business customers who require guaranteed network 
availability and high performance levels for business-critical applica-
tions, such as e-commerce, customer relationship management (CRM), 
multimedia streaming, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), virtual private 
networks (VPNs) and supply chain management. We deliver services 
through our 38 network access points, which feature multiple direct 
high-speed connections to major Internet networks.

We have a limited operating history and our operations are subject to 
certain risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by rapidly evolv-
ing markets. These risks include the failure to develop or supply tech-
nology or services, the ability to obtain adequate financing, competition 
within the industry and technology trends.

We have significant net operating losses since inception. During 2005, 
we incurred net losses of $5.0 million. As of December 31, 2005, we 
have an accumulated deficit of $860.1 million. We have taken various 
steps to control our costs, including decreasing the size of our work-
force, terminating certain real estate leases and commitments, making 
process enhancements and renegotiating network contracts for more 
favorable pricing and terms.

On March 4, 2004, we sold 40.25 million shares of our common stock 
in a public offering at a purchase price of $1.50 per share which 
resulted in net proceeds to us of $55.9 million, after deducting under-
writing discounts and commissions and offering expense. We continue 
to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate pur-
poses. General corporate purposes primarily include capital investments 
in our network access point infrastructure and systems, expansion of 
data center facilities and repayment of debt and capital lease obliga-
tions. General corporate purposes could also include potential acquisi-
tions of complementary businesses or technologies.

Effective September 14, 2004, all shares of our outstanding series A 
convertible preferred stock were mandatorily converted into common 
stock in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation. 
An aggregate of 1.7 million shares of convertible preferred stock with a 
recorded value of $49.6 million was converted into 56.2 million shares 
of common stock upon the mandatory conversion. Accordingly, we had 
no shares of series A convertible preferred stock outstanding subse-
quent to the mandatory conversion. The mandatory conversion had 
no effect on the outstanding warrants to purchase common stock that 
were issued in conjunction with the series A preferred stock.

Our liquidity and capital requirements depend on several factors, includ-
ing the rate of market acceptance of our services, the ability to expand 
and retain our customer base, the rate of expansion of new data centers 
and Private Network Access Points, (P-NAP®s), our ability to execute our 
current business plan and other factors. If we fail to generate sufficient 
cash flow from operations, we may require additional financing sooner 
than anticipated. We cannot assure such financing will be available 
on commercially favorable terms or at all.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting principles

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are pre-
pared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include 
the accounts of Internap and all majority owned subsidiaries. Significant 
inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates and assumptions

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance 
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of 
America. The preparation of these financial statements requires manage-
ment to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts 
of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense, and related disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our 
estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, doubtful accounts, 
cost-basis investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring 
costs, long-term service contracts, contingencies and litigation. We base 
our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions 
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results 
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values 
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 
Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original 
maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase and money market 
mutual funds to be cash equivalents. We invest our cash and cash equiva-
lents with major financial institutions and may at times exceed federally 
insured limits. We believe that the risk of loss is minimal. To date, we have 
not experienced any losses related to cash and cash equivalents.

At December 31, 2004 we had placed $0.1 million in restricted cash 
accounts to collateralize letters of credit with financial institutions. These 
amounts are reported separately as restricted cash and are classified as 
current or non-current assets based on their respective maturity dates. 
There were no restricted cash accounts as of December 31, 2005.

NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Investments in marketable securities

Fair value of financial instruments

Marketable securities primarily include high credit quality corporate 
debt securities and U.S. Government Agency debt securities. Manage-
ment determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities 
at the time of purchase. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, all market-
able securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale 
securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses 
reported in other comprehensive income. Our marketable securities 
are reviewed each reporting period for declines in value that are con-
sidered to be other-than temporary and, if appropriate, written down 
to their estimated fair value. Realized gains and losses and declines in 
value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities 
are included in other non-operating income (expense) in the consolidated 
statements of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the 
specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities 
classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income in the 
consolidated statements of operations.

Our short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equiva-
lents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and capital 
lease obligations are carried at cost. The cost of our short-term financial 
instruments approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. 
Our marketable investments are designated as available for sale and are 
recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other com-
prehensive income. The carrying value of our long-term financial instru-
ments, including notes payable and capital lease obligations, approximate 
fair value as the interest rates approximate current market rates of similar 
debt obligations.

Management evaluates outstanding accounts receivable each period for 
collectibility. This evaluation involves assessing the aging of the amounts 
due to the Company and reviewing the credit-worthiness of customers. 
Based on this evaluation, we record an allowance for accounts receiv-
able that are estimated to not be collectible.

Other investments

Credit risk

We account for investments without readily determinable fair values at 
historical cost, as determined by our initial investment. The recorded 
value of cost basis investments is periodically reviewed to determine 
the propriety of the recorded basis. When a decline in the value that is 
judged to be other than temporary has occurred based on available 
data, the cost basis is reduced and an investment loss is recorded. 
We have a $1.2 million equity investment at December 31, 2005 in 
Aventail Corporation (Aventail), an early stage, privately held company, 
after having reduced the balance for an impairment loss of $4.8 million 
in 2001. The carrying value of our investment in Aventail is recorded 
in non-current investments in the accompanying consolidated 
balance sheet.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of 
credit risk principally consist of cash, cash equivalents, marketable 
securities and trade receivables. We currently invest the majority of our 
cash in money market funds and maintain them with financial institutions 
with high credit ratings. We also invest in debt instruments of the U.S. 
government and its agencies and corporate issuers with high credit 
ratings. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic 
evaluations of the relative credit ratings of these financial institutions. 
We have not experienced any credit losses on our cash, cash equiva-
lents or marketable securities.

Inventory

We account for investments that provide us with the ability to exercise 
significant influence, but not control, over an investee using the equity 
method of accounting. Significant influence, but not control, is gener-
ally deemed to exist if we have an ownership interest in the voting 
stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, 
such as minority interest protections, are considered in determining 
whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. As of Decem-
ber 31, 2005, Internap Japan Co. Ltd. (Internap Japan), our joint 
venture with NTT-ME Corporation of Japan and another NTT affiliate, 
qualifies for equity method accounting. We record our proportional 
share of the income and losses of Internap Japan one month in arrears 
on the consolidated balance sheets as a component of non-current 
investments and our share of Internap Japan’s losses and income as 
other income, net on the consolidated statement of operations.

Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, 
first-out method. Cost includes materials related to the production 
of our Flow Control Platform (FCP) and our Flow Control Xcelerator 
(FCX) solutions.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are carried at original acquisition cost less 
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortiza-
tion are calculated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated 
useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Estimated useful lives used 
for network equipment are generally three years; furniture, equipment 
and software are three to seven years; and leasehold improvements are 
seven years or over the lease term, depending on the nature of the 
improvement, but in no event beyond the lease term. The duration of 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

lease obligations and commitments range from 24 months for certain 
networking equipment to 240 months for certain facility leases. Addi-
tions and improvements that increase the value or extend the life of an 
asset are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. 
Gains or losses from disposals of property and equipment are charged 
to operations.

Leases and leasehold improvements

We record leases as capital or operating leases and account for lease-
hold improvements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards (SFAS) No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and related literature. 
Rent expense for operating leases is recorded in accordance with Finan-
cial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Technical Bulletin (FTB) No. 88-1, 
“Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases.” This FTB requires lease 
agreements that include periods of free rent or other incentives, specific 
escalating lease payments, or both, to be recorded on a straight-line or 
other systematic basis over the initial lease term and those renewal 
periods that are reasonably assured. The difference between rent 
expense and rent paid is recorded as deferred rent in non-current 
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Research and product development costs

Product development costs are primarily related to network engineering 
costs associated with changes to the functionality of our proprietary ser-
vices and network architecture. Such costs that do not qualify for capi-
talization as software development are expensed as incurred. Research 
and development costs, which are included in product development cost 
and are expensed as incurred, primarily consist of compensation related 
to our development and enhancement of IP Routing Technology, the FCP 
and BusinessNet acceleration technologies. Research and development 
costs were $2.9 million, $2.4 million and $1.5 million for the years 
ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Costs of computer software development

For the year ended December 31, 2005 we capitalized $0.4 million 
of costs for internally developed software in accordance with SFAS 
No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, 
Leased or Otherwise Marketed.” No amounts were capitalized for the 
year ended December 31, 2004 or 2003.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” 
we review our goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently, 
if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The provisions of SFAS 
No. 142 require that a two-step test be performed to assess goodwill 
for impairment. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared 
to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, good-
will is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second 
step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The implied 
fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill must be determined and com-
pared to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of a 
reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment 
loss equal to the difference will be recorded. We completed our annual 
goodwill impairment test as of August 1, 2005 and determined that the 
carrying amount of goodwill was not impaired.

Other acquired intangible assets, including developed technologies 
and patents, have finite lives and we have recorded these assets at 
cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a 
straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the 
assets, which is three to seven years for developed technologies 
and 15 years for patents. 

Valuation of long-lived assets

Management periodically evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived 
assets, including, but not limited to, property and equipment pursuant to 
the guidance provided by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment 
and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The carrying value of a long-lived 
asset is considered impaired when the undiscounted cash flow from 
such asset is separately identifiable and is estimated to be less than its 
carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount 
by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived 
asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash 
flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses 
on long-lived assets to be disposed of would be determined in a similar 
manner, except that fair values would be reduced by the cost of dis-
posal. Losses due to impairment of long-lived assets are charged to 
operations during the period in which the impairment is identified.

Income taxes

In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ 
Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer 
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” we capitalize certain 
direct costs incurred developing internal use software. We capitalized 
$1.9 million in internal software development costs for the year ended 
December 31, 2004. We did not capitalize any costs for the years ended 
December 31, 2005 or 2003.

We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between 
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are 
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect 
when the differences are expected to reverse. We provide a valuation 
allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to their estimated  
realizable value.

Stock-based compensation

As of December 31, 2005, we had three active stock-based employee 
compensation plans, which are described more fully in note 15. We 
have adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Account-
ing for Stock-Based Compensation” and therefore account for the plans 
under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting 
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to 
Employees,” and related interpretations. The following table illustrates 
the effect on net loss and loss per share if we had applied the fair value 
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee 
compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts).

As described in note 15, our newly appointed President and Chief Execu-
tive Officer was awarded 1.0 million shares of restricted stock on Septem-
ber 30, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the amortization 
related to this restricted stock grant was $60,000. In conjunction with 
providing transition services in December 2005, the Vice Chair of our 
Board of Directors was granted 36,586 shares of fully-vested restricted 
stock with an aggregate value of $15,000. The expense related to these 
shares is included in general and administrative expenses on the consoli-
dated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The $9.7 million, $15.4 million, and $8.4 million increases to the pro 
forma employee compensation expense during 2005, 2004 and 2003, 
respectively, were inclusive of reductions for the effect related to options 
cancelled as a result of employee terminations, offset by amortization of 
compensation determined under the fair-value based method.

The fair value of options granted in each year during the three years 
ended December 31, 2005 was estimated at the date of grant using the

Revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk

The majority of our revenue is derived from high-performance Internet 
connectivity and related data center services. Our revenues are generated 
primarily from the sale of Internet connectivity services at fixed rates or 
usage-based pricing to our customers that desire a DS-3 or faster con-
nection and other ancillary services, such as data center services, content 
distribution, server management and installation services, virtual private 
networking services, managed security services, data backup, remote 
storage and restoration services, and video conferencing services. We 
also offer T-1 and fractional DS-3 connections at fixed rates.

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 
the product, service or software license has been delivered, the fees are 
fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Contracts and sales or 
purchase orders are used to determine the existence of an arrangement. 
We test for availability or use shipping documents when applicable to verify 
delivery of our services, products or software licenses. We assess whether 
the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with 
the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.

Deferred revenue consists of revenue for services to be delivered in the 
future and consists primarily of advance billings, which are amortized over 
the respective service period. Revenue associated with billings for installa-
tion of customer network equipment are deferred and amortized over the 
estimated life of the customer relationship (generally two years), as the 
installation service is integral to our primary service offering and does not 
have value to a customer on a stand-alone basis. Deferred post-contract 
customer support associated with sales of our FCP solution and similar 
products are amortized ratably over the contract period (generally one year).

We routinely review the creditworthiness of our customers. If we deter-
mine that collection of service revenue is uncertain, we do not recognize 
revenue until cash has been collected. Additionally, we maintain allowances 
for doubtful accounts resulting from the inability of our customers to make 
required payments on accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful 
accounts is based upon specific and general customer information,

which also includes estimates based on management’s best understand-
ing of our customers’ ability to pay. Customers’ ability to pay takes into 
consideration payment history, legal status (i.e., bankruptcy), and the 
status of services we are providing. Once all collection efforts have been 
exhausted, we write the uncollectible balance off against the allowance 
for doubtful accounts. We also estimate a reserve for sales adjustments, 
which reduces net accounts receivable and revenue. The reserve for 
sales adjustments is based upon specific and general customer infor-
mation, including outstanding promotional credits, customer disputes, 
credit adjustments not yet processed through the billing system and 
historical activity. If the financial condition of our customers were to 
deteriorate, or management becomes aware of new information impact-
ing a customer’s credit risk, additional allowances may be required.

Advertising costs

We expense all advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs 
for 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.9 mil-
lion, respectively.

Net loss per share

Basic and diluted net loss per share has been computed using the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding 
during the period. We have excluded all outstanding convertible 
preferred stock and outstanding options and warrants to purchase 
common stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, 
as such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented  
(in thousands, except per share amounts).

Segment information

We use the management approach for determining which, if any, of our 
products and services, locations, customers or management structures 
constitute a reportable business segment. The management approach 
designates the internal organization that is used by management for 
making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source 
of any reportable segments. Management uses one measurement of 
profitability and does not disaggregate its business for internal reporting 
and therefore operates in a single business segment. Through Decem-
ber 31, 2005, product revenue was not significant nor were long-lived 
assets located and revenue generated outside the United States.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting for Changes  
and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and  
FASB Statement No.3” to prescribe the related accounting and disclo-
sures. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for changes and 
error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. 
We will adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2006.

In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-
Based Payment,” which is known as SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) 
replaces SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting 
for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an 
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Among other things, SFAS 
No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method 
of accounting for stock-based compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) requires 
public entities to recognize compensation expense for awards of equity 
instruments to employees based on the grant-date fair value of the 
awards. On March 29, 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 
(SAB) No. 107, providing the SEC Staff’s view regarding the interaction 
between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations, and 
the valuation of share-based payment arrangements. On April 15, 2005, 
the SEC amended Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X, extending the effec-
tive date of SFAS No. 123(R) to the first annual reporting period of the 
registrant’s first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005.

We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), subsequent FASB 
Staff Positions, and guidance in SAB No. 107, beginning in the first 
quarter of 2006. We are evaluating the requirements under SFAS No. 
123(R) and expect the adoption to have a significant adverse impact on 
our consolidated statements of operations and net income per share, 
comparable to our pro forma disclosure under SFAS No. 123. See 
“Stock-Based Compensation” above for the pro forma net loss and net 
loss per share amounts, for years 2003 through 2005, as if we had 
used a fair-value-based method similar to the methods required under

SFAS No. 123(R) to measure compensation expense for employee 
stock incentive awards. However, the actual effect on net income or 
loss and earnings or loss per share after adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will 
vary depending upon the number of options granted in 2006 compared 
to prior years. In addition, we will also recognize compensation expense 
related to our employee stock purchase plan for the six-month purchase 
period ending June 30, 2006. We have modified our employee stock 
purchase plan to make it a non-compensatory plan for all purchase 
periods subsequent to June 30, 2006.

3. IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS

With overcapacity created in the Internet connectivity market and IP 
Services market, we implemented restructuring plans that resulted in 
significant charges in 2001 and 2002. Additional charges were also 
incurred during 2003 and 2004 as we continued to evaluate our 
restructuring reserve.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, we incurred $1.1 million in 
restructuring costs which primarily represented retention bonuses and 
moving expense related to the relocation of our corporate office to 
Atlanta, Georgia from Seattle, Washington.

We incurred net additional restructuring costs of $3.6 million during 
2004 as a result of a comprehensive analysis of the remaining accrued 
restructuring liability. After reviewing the analysis, management concluded 
that the facilities remaining in the restructuring accrual were taking lon-
ger than expected to sublease and those that were subleased resulted 
in lower than expected sublease rates. Consequently, the projected 
obligations exceeded the unadjusted liability by $5.3 million over the 
remaining lease terms, with the last commitment expiring in July 2015. 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, all other remaining 
contractual obligations for network infrastructure and other costs 
included in the restructuring were satisfied and we reduced the remain-
ing recorded liability for the obligations from $1.7 million to zero.

On October 1, 2003, we completed our acquisition of netVmg, Inc. (netVmg) 
which enables customers to manage Internet traffic cost, performance and 
operations decisions directly from their corporate locations. The acquisition 
was recorded using the purchase method of accounting under SFAS 
No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The aggregate purchase price of the 
acquired company, plus related charges, was $13.7 million and was 
comprised of 0.3 million shares of our preferred stock, acquisition costs 
and warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of our common stock.

On October 15, 2003, we completed our acquisition of Sockeye Networks, 
Inc., (Sockeye). The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method 
of accounting under SFAS No. 141. The aggregate purchase price of the 
acquired company, plus related charges, was $1.9 million and was com-
prised of 1,420,775 shares of our common stock and acquisition costs.

  Total liabilities assumed and common stock issued 

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, all identifiable assets were assigned a 
portion of the purchase price of the acquired companies on the basis of 
their respective fair values. Intangible assets other than goodwill are 
amortized over their average estimated useful lives of three to seven years 
(with a weighted-average life of 6.5 years). The value assigned to the 
identifiable intangible assets was based on an analysis performed by an 
independent third party as of the date of the acquisitions. Pro forma results 
of operations have not been presented because the effects of these 
acquisitions were not material on either an individual or aggregate basis 
to our results of operations. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes 
from either of the acquisitions.

As part of our acquisition of CO Space, Inc (CO Space) on June 20, 2000, 
we recorded a pre-acquisition liability of $1.3 million for network equip-
ment purchased by CO Space. During 2003, we reevaluated the likelihood 
of settling the liability related to this equipment and concluded that a 
contingent obligation no longer exists. Therefore, the liability was eliminated 
resulting in a one-time reduction in costs and expense of $1.3 million.

5. INVESTMENTS

We maintain a 51% ownership interest in Internap Japan, a joint venture 
with NTT-ME Corporation of Japan and another NTT affiliate. We are unable 
to assert control over the joint venture’s operational and financial policies 
and practices required to account for the joint venture as a subsidiary 
whose assets, liabilities, revenue and expense would be consolidated (due 
to certain minority interest protections afforded to our joint venture partners). 
We are, however, able to assert significant influence over the joint venture 
and, therefore, account for our joint venture investment using the equity-
method of accounting pursuant to APB Opinion No. 18 “The Equity Method 
of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” and consistent with 
Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-16 “Investor’s Accounting for an 
Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the 
Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights.”

We account for investments without readily determinable fair values at 
cost. Realized gains and losses and declines in value of securities judged 
to be other than temporary are included in other expense. On February 22, 
2000, pursuant to an investment agreement, we purchased 588,236 
shares of Aventail series D preferred stock at $10.20 per share for a total 
cash investment of $6.0 million. Aventail is a privately held enterprise 
for which no active market for its securities exists. In connection with 
Aventail’s 2001 round of financing, we concluded that our investment 
in Aventail had experienced a decline in value that was other than 
temporary. As a result, during 2001 we recognized a $4.8 million loss 
on investment when we reduced its recorded basis to $1.2 million, 
which remains its estimated value as of December 31, 2005.

 Investments in marketable securities primarily include high credit 
quality corporate debt securities and U.S. Government Agency debt 
securities. These investments are classified as available for sale and 
are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in other 
comprehensive income. All proceeds were from the maturity of the 
securities, not from sales.  Accordingly, we have not recognized any 
realized gains or losses.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

8. ACCRUED LIABILITIES

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of August 1 of each 
calendar year. With the assistance of a third party valuation expert, we 
estimated the fair value of our reporting units utilizing a discounted cash 
flow method. Based on the results of these analyses our goodwill was 
not impaired as of August 1, 2005.

The assumptions, inputs and judgments used in performing the valua-
tion analysis are inherently subjective and reflect estimates based on 
known facts and circumstances at the time the valuation is performed. 
The use of different assumptions, inputs and judgments, or changes in 
circumstances, could materially affect the results of the valuation. 
Adverse changes in the valuation would necessitate an impairment 
charge for the goodwill held by us. As of December 31, 2005 and 
2004, the recorded amount of goodwill totaled $36.3 million.

Generally, any adjustments made as a result of the impairment testing 
are required to be recognized as operating expense. We will continue to 
perform our annual impairment testing as of August 1 each year absent 
any impairment indicators that may cause more frequent analysis, as 
required by SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

At December 31, 2005, we had a $10.0 million revolving credit facility 
and a $17.5 million term loan under a loan and security agreement with 
a bank. The agreement was amended as of December 27, 2005, to reduce 
the amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit agreement 
from $15.0 million to $10.0 million, increase letter of credit sub-limit from 
$5.0 million to $6.0 million, to extend the expiration date of the revolving 
credit facility from December 28, 2005 to December 27, 2006 and 
update loan covenants.

Availability under the revolving credit facility is based on 80% of eligible 
accounts receivable plus 50% of unrestricted cash and marketable 
investments. As of December 31, 2005, $4.1 million of letters of credit 
were issued, and we had available $5.9 million in borrowing capacity 
under the revolving credit facility.

The credit facility contains certain covenants, including covenants that 
restrict our ability to incur further indebtedness. The December 27, 2005 
changes to the loan covenants include the elimination of the minimum 
Cash EBITDA requirement, as defined by the agreement, and the addition 
of a minimum tangible net worth requirement.

As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with the various  
loan covenants.

11. INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial 
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the 
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are 
expected to reverse. We provide a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred 
tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

Reconciliations of the provision (benefit) for income taxes to the amount 
compiled by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to loss before 
income taxes is as follows:

NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

We were in violation of a previous loan covenant that required a 
minimum Cash EBITDA, as defined in the credit facility, for the three-
month period ended September 30, 2005 by $1.3 million. The violation 
resulted primarily from our continued expansion of data center facilities 
that caused the minimum Cash EBITDA for the period to be less than 
the level required under the agreement. On November 3, 2005, we 
received a formal waiver of the covenant violation. As discussed above, 
the agreement was amended as of December 27, 2005 to eliminate 
the minimum Cash EBITDA requirement.

The term loan under the security agreement noted above has a fixed 
interest rate of 7.5% and is due in 48 equal monthly installments of 
principal plus interest through September 1, 2008. The balance out-
standing under the term loan was $12.0 million and $16.4 million at 
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The loan was used to 
purchase assets previously recorded as capital leases under a master 
agreement with a primary supplier of networking equipment. At Decem-
ber 31, 2004, an additional $2.1 million was outstanding under other 
loan agreements that were subsequently repaid during 2005. The loan 
is secured by all of our assets, except patents.

The maturity of the term loan at December 31, 2005 is as follows  
(in thousands):

The carrying value of our notes payable as of December 31, 2005, 
approximates fair value as the interest rates approximate current market 
rates of similar debt obligations.

10. CAPITAL LEASES

Capital lease obligations and the leased property and equipment are 
recorded at acquisition at the present value of future lease payments 
based upon the terms of the related lease agreement. On September 30, 
2004, management negotiated the buy-out of all remaining lease sched-
ules under a master lease agreement with a primary supplier of network 
equipment. Under the terms of the buy-out agreement, we paid $19.7 mil-
lion, comprising remaining capital lease obligations as of September 30, 
2004, along with end-of-lease asset values and sales tax, resulting in a 
$2.2 million increase to fixed assets. The $19.7 million buy-out was funded 
through $2.2 million in cash on hand and the proceeds from a $17.5 mil-
lion term loan from a bank (note 9). As of December 31, 2005, our other 
remaining capital lease has an expiration date of June 2007.

Current and non-current deferred taxes have been recorded on a net basis 
in the accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 2005 we have 
net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards of approxi-
mately $560.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively. The net operating 
loss carryforwards expire from 2012 through 2025. The capital loss carry-
forwards expire in 2006. Utilization of net operating losses and capital loss 
carryforwards are subject to the limitations imposed by Section 382 of the 
Internal Revenue Code. Under this provision, we will be precluded from 
utilizing approximately $222.1 million of our net operating and capital 
losses. The occurrence of additional changes in ownership pursuant to 
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code may have the impact of additional 
limitations on the use of our net operating losses. We have placed a valua-
tion allowance against our deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax 
liabilities due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such excess 
tax assets. Management periodically evaluates the recoverability of the 
deferred tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance. At such time 
as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax 
assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.

12. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN

We sponsor a defined contribution retirement savings plan that qualifies 
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Plan participants 
may elect to have a portion of their pre-tax compensation contributed to 
the plan, subject to certain guidelines issued by the Internal Revenue 
Service. Employer contributions are discretionary and were $0.6 million 
and $0.2 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively. No employer contri-
butions were made during 2003.

13.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, CONCENTRATIONS

Operating leases

We, as a lessee, have entered into leasing arrangements relating to 
office and service point rental space and office equipment that are 
classified as operating leases. Future minimum lease payments on 
non-cancelable operating leases are as follows at December 31, 2005 
(in thousands):

    2006

Rent expense was $13.6 million, $12.9 million and $13.1 million for 
the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 
Sub-lease income, recorded as a reduction of rent expense, was $0.2 mil-
lion, $0.3 million and $0.3 million during the years ended December 31, 
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Service commitments

We have entered into service commitment contracts with Internet network 
service providers to provide interconnection services and data center 
providers to provide space for our customers. In conjunction with rate 
negotiations during 2005, we eliminated several long-term minimum 
commitments compared to prior years. Future minimum payments under 
these service commitments having terms in excess of one year are as 
follows at December 31, 2005 (in thousands):

NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Vendor disputes

In delivering our services, we rely on a number of Internet network, 
telecommunication and other vendors. We work directly with these 
vendors to provision services such as establishing, modifying or discon-
tinuing services for our customers. Because of the volume of activity, 
billing disputes inevitably arise. These disputes typically stem from 
disagreements concerning the starting and ending dates of service, 
quoted rates, usage and various other factors. Disputed costs, both 
in the vendors’ favor and our favor, are researched and discussed with 
vendors on an ongoing basis until ultimately resolved. We record the 
cost and a liability based on our estimate of the most likely outcome of 
the dispute. These estimates are periodically reviewed by management 
and modified in light of new information or developments, if any. 
Because estimates regarding disputed costs include assessments 
of uncertain outcomes, such estimates are inherently vulnerable to 
changes due to unforeseen circumstances that could materially and 
adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

Concentrations of risk

We participate in a highly volatile industry that is characterized by strong 
competition for market share. We, and others in the industry encounter 
aggressive pricing practices, evolving customer demands and continual 
technological developments. Our operating results could be negatively 
affected should we not be able to adequately address pricing strategies, 
customers’ demands, and technological advancements.

We depend on other companies to supply various key elements of our 
infrastructure including the network access local loops between our 
network access points and our Internet network service providers and 
the local loops between our network access points and our customers’ 
networks. In addition, the routers and switches used in our network 
infrastructure are currently supplied by a limited number of vendors. 
Furthermore, we do not carry significant inventories of the products 
we purchase, and we have no guaranteed supply arrangements with 
our vendors. A loss of a significant vendor could delay build-out of our 
infrastructure and increase our costs. If our limited source of suppliers 
fails to provide products or services that comply with evolving Internet 
standards or that interoperate with other products or services we use in 
our network infrastructure, we may be unable to meet all or a portion of 
our customer service commitments, which could adversely affect our 
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Litigation

We may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in 
the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these matters 
is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to 
resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial 
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 In July 2004, we received an assessment from the New York State 
Department of Taxation and Finance for $1.4 million, including interest 
and penalties, resulting from an audit of our state franchise tax returns 
for the years 2000–2002. The assessment related to an unpaid license 
fee due upon our entry into the state for the privilege of doing business in 
the state. Management recorded its best estimate of the probable liability 
resulting from the assessment in accrued liabilities and general and 
administrative expense as of June 30, 2004 and engaged a professional 
service provider to initiate an appeal. In April 2005, management became 
aware that the assessment had been reduced to $0.1 million including 
interest and with penalties waived. The substantial decrease from the 
original assessment resulted from including the weighted averages of 
investment capital and subsidiary capital, along with business capital, 
used in New York in determining the apportionment factor. The original 
assessment was based solely on an apportionment of business capital, 
while investment capital and subsidiary capital both have significantly 
lower apportionment percentages to New York. The adjustment for the 
revised New York assessment, as well as other tax accruals based on our 
best estimate of probable liabilities, resulted in a reduction of non-income 
based tax expenses of approximately $1.7 million as of March 31, 2005. 
These tax adjustments are reflected in accrued liabilities and general and 
administrative expense in the accompanying financial statements.

14.  CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND  

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Convertible preferred stock

Effective September 14, 2004, all shares of our outstanding series A 
convertible preferred stock were mandatorily converted into common 
stock in accordance with the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation. 
An aggregate of 1.7 million shares of convertible preferred stock with 
a recorded value of $49.6 million was converted into 56.2 million 
shares of common stock. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2004, we 
had no shares of series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. 
The mandatory conversion had no effect on the outstanding warrants 
to purchase common stock that were issued in conjunction with the 
series A preferred stock.

The series A preferred stock was initially reported as mezzanine 
financing because holders of the series A preferred stock had rights to 
receive payment of shares under specific circumstances which were 
deemed to be outside our control. In July 2003, we amended the 
deemed liquidation provisions of our charter to eliminate the events 
that could result in payment to the series A preferred stockholders 
such that the events giving rise to payment would be within our control. 
As a result, 2.9 million shares of our series A preferred stock, with a 
recorded value of $78.6 million, were reclassified from mezzanine 
financing to stockholders’ equity during 2003.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The August 2003 common stock private placement discussed below 
resulted in a decrease of the conversion price of our series A preferred 
stock to $0.95 per share and an increase in the number of shares of 
common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of series A pre-
ferred stock by 34.5 million shares. We recorded a deemed dividend of 
$34.6 million in 2003, which is attributable to the additional incremental 
number of shares the series A preferred stock convertible into common 
stock. Also as a result of the private placement, under the terms of the 
common stock warrants issued on September 14, 2001 by us in connec-
tion with issuance of the series A preferred stock, the exercise price for 
the warrants to purchase 17.3 million shares of our common stock was 
adjusted from $1.48 per share of common stock to $0.95 per share.

During 2003, series A stockholders converted 1.5 million shares of 
series A preferred stock into 50.6 million shares of common stock at a 
recorded value of $41.5 million. Including the mandatory conversion 
on September 14, 2004, 1.8 million shares of series A preferred stock 
were converted in to 59.0 million shares of common stock at a 
recorded value of $51.8 million during 2004.

Common stock

On February 18, 2004, our common stock began trading on the American 
Stock Exchange (AMEX), under the symbol “IIP.” We voluntarily delisted 
our common stock from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market effective  
February 17, 2004.

On March 4, 2004, we sold 40.25 million shares of our common stock 
in a public offering at a purchase price of $1.50 per share which resulted 
in net proceeds to us of $55.9 million, after deducting underwriting 
discounts and commissions and offering expense. We continue to use the 
net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. General 
corporate purposes primarily include capital investments in our network 
access point infrastructure and systems, expansion of data center facilities 
and repayment of debt and capital lease obligations. General corporate 
purposes could also include potential acquisitions of complementary 
businesses or technologies.

On August 22, 2003, we issued 10.65 million shares of our common 
stock in a private placement at a price of $0.95 per share. We received 
$9.5 million, net of issuance cost. In addition, in connection with the 
amendment of a former equipment lease, we issued 0.2 million shares 
of common stock to the equipment supplier.

On October 15, 2003, in connection with our acquisition of Sockeye 
and as discussed in note 4, we issued an aggregate of 1.4 million 
shares of our common stock in a private placement to the stockholders 
of Sockeye.

Warrants to purchase common stock

As of December 31, 2005, there were warrants outstanding to  
purchase 15.0 million shares of our common stock at an exercise  
price of $0.95 per share.

On September 14, 2001, in conjunction with our series A preferred stock 
financing, we issued warrants to purchase up to 17.1 million shares of 
common stock at $1.48256 per share for a period of five years. The 
value allocated to these warrants was estimated to be $9.3 million based 
upon the Black-Scholes model. As a result of the private placement of 
our common stock in August 2003, the exercise price of the warrants 
was adjusted to $0.95 per share.

On October 20, 2003, we issued warrants to purchase 0.4 million 
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.95 in connection 
with a private placement of our common stock. These warrants expire 
on August 22, 2008.

In connection with our acquisition of netVmg, we granted warrants to 
purchase an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of our common stock to 
stockholders of netVmg. These warrants are exercisable if netVmg 
stockholders participate in a private placement of shares of our common 
or preferred stock and their participation is in an amount equal to or 
greater than $4.4 million. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of 
our common stock at an exercise price of $0.95 per share and expires 
on October 1, 2006. There was no value allocated to these warrants as 
of December 31, 2005 or 2004.

Outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock at  
December 31, 2005, are as follows (shares in thousands):

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

We have adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, 
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Pro forma information 
regarding the net loss is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been 
determined as if we had accounted for employee stock options 
under the fair value method as described in note 2.

Stock compensation and option plans

On June 23, 2005, we adopted the Internap Network Services Corpora-
tion 2005 Stock Compensation Plan (2005 Plan). The 2005 Plan provides 
for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock grants 
and stock unit grants to eligible employees and directors and is adminis-
tered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. A total 
of 67.9 million shares of stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005 
Plan, comprised of 20.0 million shares designated in the 2005 Plan plus 
9.7 million shares which remain available for issuance of options and 
awards and 38.2 million shares of unexercised options under certain 
preexisting plans. No further grants shall be made under the specified 
preexisting plans however, each of the specified preexisting plans were 
made a part of the 2005 Plan so that the shares available for issuance 
under the 2005 Plan may be issued in connection with grants made 
under those plans. As of December 31, 2005, there were 34.4 million 
options outstanding and 31.7 million options available for issuance.

The 2005 Plan also provides that in any calendar year, no eligible 
employee or director shall be granted an option to purchase more than 
5.0 million shares of stock or a stock appreciation right based on the 
appreciation with respect to more than 5.0 million shares of stock, and 
no stock grant or stock unit grant shall be made to any eligible employee 
or director in any calendar year where the fair market value of the stock 
subject to such grant on the date of the grant exceeds  $10.0 million.  
Furthermore, no more than 5.0 million non-forfeitable shares of stock 
shall be issued pursuant to stock grants.

The option price for each share of stock subject to an option shall be no 
less than the fair market value of a share of stock on the date the option 
is granted; provided, however, if the option is an incentive stock option 
(ISO) granted to an eligible employee who is a 10% shareholder, the 
option price for each share of stock subject to such ISO shall be no less 
than 110% of the fair market value of a share of stock on the date such 
ISO is granted. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from 
the date of grant, except for ISO’s granted to an eligible employee who 
is a 10% shareholder, in which case the maximum term is five years 
from the date of grant. ISO’s may be granted only to eligible employees. 
Terms for stock appreciation rights are similar to those of options. Upon 
exercise of a stock appreciation right, the compensation committee of 
the board of directors shall determine the form of payment as cash, 

shares of stock issued under the 2005 Plan based on the fair market 
value of a share of stock on the date of exercise, or a combination of 
cash and shares.

During July 1999, we adopted the 1999 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock 
Option Plan (the Director Plan). The Director Plan provides for the grant 
of non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors. A total of 
4.0 million shares of Internap’s common stock have been reserved for 
issuance under the Director Plan. Under the terms of the Director Plan, 
fully-vested and exercisable initial grants of 80,000 shares of our 
common stock are to be made to all non-employee directors on the 
date such person is first elected or appointed as a non-employee 
director. On the day after each of our annual stockholder meetings, 
starting with the annual meeting in 2000, each non-employee director 
will automatically be granted a fully vested and exercisable option for 
20,000 shares, provided such person has been a non-employee 
director for at least the prior six months. The options are exercisable 
as long as the non-employee director continues to serve as a director, 
employee or consultant of Internap or any of its affiliates. As of Decem-
ber 31, 2005, there were 1.1 million options outstanding and 2.7 mil-
lion options available for grant pursuant to the Director Plan.

Options and stock appreciation rights become exercisable in whole 
or in part from time to time as determined at the date of grant by the 
compensation committee of the board of directors. Stock options 
generally vest 25% after one year and ratably over the following three 
years, except for non-employee directors who usually receive immedi-
ately exercisable options. Similarly, conditions, if any, under which 
stock will be issued under stock grants or cash will be paid under 
stock unit grants and the conditions under which the interest in any 
stock that has been issued will become non-forfeitable are determined 
at the date of grant by the compensation committee. If the only condi-
tion to the forfeiture of a stock grant or stock unit grant is the completion 
of a period of service, the minimum period of service will generally be 
three years from the date of grant.

On September 30, 2005, pursuant to an employment agreement, our 
newly appointed President and Chief Operating Officer was granted an 
option to purchase 5.0 million shares of our common stock and 1.0 million 
restricted shares of common stock, further discussed below. The exercise 
price of the option is $0.48 per share, the closing price of our common 
stock as of the grant date. The option was immediately vested 25% as 
of the grant date, September 30, 2005, but is restricted from exercise 
unless and until the executive remains continuously employed with the 
Company through September 30, 2006. The remaining unvested portion 
of the option becomes exercisable in four equal annual installments, with 
the first such annual installment being September 30, 2006.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

We have elected to account for stock-based compensation using the 
intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, 
compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, 
of the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant over the 
exercise price to be paid to acquire the stock.

On January 6, 2003, under the terms of a related tender offer to allow 
domestic employees to cancel certain outstanding stock option grants, 
we accepted cancellation of 2.0 million options to purchase shares of 
common stock. On that date, we agreed to grant the same employees 
options to purchase 2.0 million shares of common stock to be granted 
six months and one day after the cancellation, or subsequent to June 7, 
2003. The tender offer provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of 
the future grant must be the fair value of our common stock on the date 
of grant; the participating employees must also cancel all options 
granted six months prior to November 18, 2002, offer exchange date; 
(ii) the participating employees must not receive any additional grants of 
options prior to the future grant date; and (iii) the participating employees 
must be domestic common law employees of the Company on the date 
of grant. Since we account for stock-based compensation using the 
intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, compensation 
cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value 
of our stock at the date of grant over the exercise price to be paid to 
acquire the stock. Therefore, we did not recognize compensation 
expense related to the grant of the new options.

Employee stock purchase plans

Effective June 15, 2004, we adopted the 2004 Internap Network Services 
Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2004 ESPP). The purpose 
of the Plan is to encourage ownership of our common stock by each of 
our eligible employees by permitting eligible employees to purchase our 
common stock at a discount. Eligible employees may elect to participate 
in the Plan for two consecutive calendar quarters, referred to as a 
“purchase period,” at any time during a designated period immediately 
preceding the purchase period. Purchase periods have been established 
as the six-month periods ending June 30 and December 31 of each 
year. A participation election is in effect until it is amended or revoked by 
the participating employee, which may be done at any time on or before 
the last day of the purchase period. Participants must authorize us to 
withhold a minimum of $10.00 per pay period of his or her compensa-
tion during the purchase period, subject to a maximum of $12,500 
during any purchase period. Contributions under the Plan are permitted 
only through payroll deductions.

On the last day of each purchase period, participating employee’s payroll 
deductions are automatically used to exercise an “option” to purchase 
shares of our common stock from us at the purchase price, up to the 
maximum number of shares permitted under the Plan. In accordance 
with section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1985, in no event may 
a participating employee purchase more than $25,000 of common stock 
under the Plan during any calendar year. The purchase price for shares 
of common stock under the Plan for a purchase period is the lesser of 
85% of the closing sale price per share of common stock on the first day 
of the offering period or 85% of such closing price on the last day of the 
purchase period. A total of 1.4 million and 0.5 million shares were issued 
under the 2004 ESPP during 2005 and 2004, respectively.

NOTES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The 2004 ESPP was intended to be a non-compensatory plan for 
both tax and financial reporting purposes. However upon our adoption 
of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006, we will recognize 
compensation expense for the amount of the discount offered on 
shares purchased in the plan. In January 2006, the plan was 
amended to change the purchase price from 85% to 95% of the 
closing sale price per share of common stock on the last day of the 
purchase period and to eliminate the alternative to use the first day 
of the offering period as a basis for determining the purchase price. 
This amendment restores the plan to being non-compensatory for 
financial reporting purposes and will be effective for the purchase 
period ending December 31, 2006.

Previously, eligible employees could elect to participate in the 1999 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which had similar terms to the 2004 
ESPP. A total of 6.0 million shares of common stock were reserved for 
issuance pursuant to the 1999 ESPP, as increased annually, and 6.0 million 
shares have been issued since adoption. During the years ended 
December 31, 2004 and 2003, a total of 1.0 million and 1.7 million 
shares, respectively, were issued under the 1999 ESPP.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As discussed in note 5, we have an investment in Aventail, who is also a 
customer for data center and connectivity services. We invoiced Aventail 
$0.3 million each year from 2003 through 2005. As of December 31, 2005 
and 2004, our outstanding receivable balances with Aventail were less 
than $0.1 million.

In 2003 and 2004, we engaged Korn/Ferry International, a national 
executive recruiting firm, to assist in the identification and recruitment 
of senior executives. For 2003 and 2004 we paid Korn/Ferry $3,178 
and $75,000, respectively, in connection with executive placements. 
Our former president and chief executive officer is the son-in-law of 
a managing director of Korn/Ferry.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors 
and executive officers for the indemnification of and advancement of 
expense to such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law. We 
also intend to enter into these agreements with our future directors 
and executive officers.

Deferred stock compensation

17. UNAUDITED QUARTERLY RESULTS

In addition to stock options, our newly appointed President and Chief 
Executive Officer was also awarded 1.0 million shares of restricted stock 
on September 30, 2005. The shares of restricted stock vest 50% as of 
September 30, 2006 so long as the executive remains continuously 
employed by the Company through September 30, 2006. The remaining 
restricted shares vest in three equal annual installments, with the first 
such annual installment being September 30, 2007. The fair value of the 
restricted stock was $0.5 million as of the grant date, September 30, 
2005, and has been reflected as deferred stock compensation in stock-
holders’ equity in the accompanying balance sheet. Compensation 
expense will be recognized ratably in accordance with the terms of 
vesting. The executive’s employment agreement provides for accelerated 
vesting of the restricted stock under certain events of termination of the 
executive’s employment. Amortization of deferred stock compensation 
was less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, amortization of deferred 
stock compensation was $0.4 million, related to stock options granted 
to certain employees with exercise prices below the deemed fair value 
of the stock option. No deferred stock compensation was recognized 
for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The following table sets forth selected unaudited quarterly data for the 
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. In the opinion of manage-
ment, this information has been prepared on the same basis as the 
audited financial statements and all necessary adjustments, consisting 
of only normal recurring adjustments, have been included in the amounts 
stated below to present fairly, in all material respects, the quarterly infor-
mation when read in conjunction with the audited financial statements 
and notes thereto included elsewhere in this annual report. The quarterly 
operating results below are not necessarily indicative of those of future 
periods (in thousands, except for per share data).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED 
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Internap Network Services Corporation

We have completed integrated audits of Internap Network Services 
Corporation’s 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements and of 
its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, 
and an audit of its 2003 consolidated financial statements in accordance 
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and 
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity 
and comprehensive loss, and cash flows present fairly, in all material 
respects, the financial position of Internap Network Services Corporation 
and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of 
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting princi-
ples generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in 
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan 
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of finan-
cial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by manage-
ment, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in the 
accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial 
Reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 based on criteria estab-
lished in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. 
Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material 
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – 
Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management 
is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial 
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control 
over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on 

management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We con-
ducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance 
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal 
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 
An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an 
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating man-
agement’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating 
effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures 
as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process 
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes 
those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of 
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide 
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of 
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have 
a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial 
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to 
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes 
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or 
procedures may deteriorate.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining 
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is 
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and 
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the 
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on 
the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (COSO).

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – 
Integrated Framework issued by COSO, our management concluded 
that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of 
December 31, 2005. Our management’s assessment of the effective-
ness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2005 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an indepen-
dent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which 
is included herein.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not  
anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We are prohibited from paying  
cash dividends under covenants contained in our current credit agreement. We currently  
intend to retain our earnings, if any, for future growth. Future dividends on our common  
stock, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among  
other things, our operations, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition,  
contractual restrictions and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. 

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995
All statements included or incorporated by reference in this 2005 Annual 
Report, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, 
including, but not limited to, statements regarding our future business 
prospects, financial position, business strategy, projected levels of growth, 
projected costs and projected financing needs, are forward-looking  
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act of 1995. Those statements are based on the current intent, belief or 
expectations of Internap and members of our management team and 
certain assumptions made by us and can often be identified by the 
use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” 
“estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” 
“should” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not 
guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and 
assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results 
may differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking 
statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission discuss some of the important risk 
factors that could contribute to such differences or otherwise affect our 
business, results of operations and financial condition. The forward-
looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. We 
undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking 
statement for any reason.
