Unprecedented  levels  of  broadband  penetration  in  homes  and

property is growing exponentially. Indeed, for the first time in history, 

Internet viewership is surpassing television usage levels. This behavior 

is creating a unique opportunity for content providers to monetize their

Q&A with Jim DeBlasio and Gene Eidenberg

Gene, as one of the founders of Internap 
in 1996, you have seen the Company 
go  through  a  number  of  stages  over 
the past decade. How significant of a 
milestone is the VitalStream acquisition 
in the Company’s history?

Gene:  Extremely  significant  when  you 
consider Internap’s original value propo-
sition. We always viewed the IP business 
as a foundation upon which more services 
could be launched. VitalStream’s content 
delivery  and  streaming  solutions  are 
really about fulfilling the original promise 
of Internap. Actually, it is more accurate 
to say, “beginning to fulfill the promise.” 
We are enthusiastic about continuing to 
build this Company.

14  14  

Does that mean you intend to undertake 
additional  acquisitions  in  the  near 
future?

Jim:  We  are  always  looking  at  new 
products and services that complement 
our  portfolio  and  add  value  for  our 
stockholders.  We  begin  this  process 
with a well-defined strategy that aligns 
with  the  vision  of  where  Internap  is 
heading,  as  well  as  consideration  for 
what  is  going  on  in  the  marketplace. 
This  approach  allows  us  to  qualify 
opportunities as they arise, so that we 
can  make  informed  decisions  about 
whether  acquiring  new  technologies 
makes sense for moving the Company 
forward.  We  will  continue  to  evaluate 
any  new  developments  and  qualify 
opportunities  as  they  come  along.  In 
the  meantime,  our  new  Internap  has 
ample  opportunities  to  pursue  as  we 
continue  to  integrate  our  respective 
customer  bases,  sales  forces  and 
operational teams.

The Internet seems to be going through 
another  evolutionary  period  with  the 
popularity  of  user-generated  content, 
IPTV  and  rich  media  streaming.  How 
does Internap capitalize on this new era 
of Internet usage?

Jim: The statistics about video usage are 
phenomenal.  According  to  eMarketer, 
half  of  all  online  consumers  watched 
streaming video during the last month. 
Video influences the way sites are now 
structured  and  provides  businesses 
new  ways  to  communicate  with  end-
users on the Web. Video traffic doubles 
every six to eight months on a typical 
media  site.  Consumers  are  telling 
researchers that they will watch a 15-
second advertisement if it is embedded 
in the video they want to see as a way 
to  continue  to  receive  “free”  content. 

The  Internet  is  the  ultimate  vehicle 
for  enterprises  that  are  creating  new 
business  models  and  for  people  who 
want to try something new. These groups 
and their behavior represent the type of 
opportunities  created  by  the  evolving 
Internet  landscape.  Internap  wants 
to  be  their  trusted  partner  of  choice 
and the go-to for making the end-user 
experience fast and reliable.

How  will  you  maintain  the  same  level 
of fiscal discipline now that you are a 
larger company?

Jim: The key is to first understand what 
we  did  well  in  2006  and  determine 
what  drives  Internap’s  success,  then 
replicate  those  strategies  in  2007 
to  help  grow  the  business.  One  way 
we  are  achieving  scale  is  through  an 
organizational  design  that  supports 
our core products and services, which 
are Data Center Services, IP  Services 
and  Content  Delivery  &  Monetization 
Services.  Each  of  these  three  primary 
business  units  is  run  by  a  general 
manager  who  is  responsible  for  the 
adjusted gross profit and has decision-
making  authority  for  the  products  and 
services within his group. Having each 
business  unit  managed  by  a  subject-
matter  expert  allows  us  to  increase 
our focus on delivering new, innovative 
services  to  our  growing  customer 
base,  and  takes  advantage  of  cross-
selling  and  up-selling  opportunities  to 
scale the business. This structure also 
improves our ability to respond quickly to 
opportunities and to focus intensely on 
driving both our margins and profitable 
growth. Look for us to continue to be 
relentless, accountable and passionate 
about winning in the marketplace and 
providing  world-class  solutions  to 
our customers.

as well as the ability for content owners 
to monetize their assets. 

What  is  the  status  of  Internap’s  legacy 
products  such  as  the  Flow  Control 
Platform™ (FCP), given the current focus 
on VitalStream?

Jim:  Internap  has  a  unique  heritage 
of delivering intelligent routing solutions 
that  overcome  the  Internet’s  inherent 
weaknesses,  such  as  latency  and 
packet loss that can plague performance. 
The  FCP  still  plays  a  key  role  in  our 
end-to-end  suite  of  Internet  solutions 
and  is  ideal  for  larger  companies  that 
prefer  to  manage  their  networks  in-
house.  Internap’s  technology  remains 
unsurpassed  and  provides  yet 
another  solution  in  our  portfolio  that 
differentiates our ability to enable peak 
performance of our customers’ mission-
critical applications.

What  does  Internap  stand  for  in  the 
marketplace today?

Gene: Today, Internap stands for confi-
dence and innovation. Through the hard 
and  dedicated  work  of  all  those  who 
have  been  a  part  of  Internap  over  the 
last decade, our Company has become 
one of the most recognized and trust-
ed for delivering customer service and 
high-performance  Internet  solutions. 
Our  people  are  some  of  the  world’s 
leading experts on Internet routing and 
optimization,  which  has  resulted  in  a 
deep level of customer loyalty. Internap 
gives  customers  the  confidence  that 
we  will  reliably  manage  their  critical 
business applications. In fact, we guar-
antee a 100 percent uptime for our IP 
service.  The  VitalStream  brand  shares 
similar respect in the marketplace, and 
we  believe  our  combined  knowledge 
and dedication to excellence will serve 
us well. 

Jim: As the Company grows, I believe 
Internap’s  signature  brand  traits, 
which  have  resulted  in  our  credibility 
as  a  trusted  partner,  will  continue 
to  serve  us  well.  Both  Internap  and 
VitalStream  are  known  as  pioneers  in 
their respective fields and both have a 
culture of innovation, which positions 
us  for  leadership  in  the  rich  media 
streaming market. Combined with the 
best-in-class  talent,  commitment  and 
experience of our people, I certainly agree 
that these qualities define what Internap 
stands for in the marketplace and help 
drive our success. 

How  does  Internap  plan  to  leverage 
the combined Internap and VitalStream 
customer base?

Jim:  Internap  has  always  been  a 
customer-centric  organization  with  a 
reputation  that  is  differentiated  by  our 
best-in-class  customer  support.  Our 
combined  base  of  more  than  3,000 
customers  creates  new  opportunities 
for our direct sales team of 130 to up-
sell products and services to our existing 

accounts. We have an expanded suite of 
services to offer, and no single customer 
represents  more  than  2  percent  of  our 
revenue. Combined with our enhanced 
portfolio of solutions, we believe Internap is 
better positioned to compete for a greater 
percentage of dollars spent by customers 
on Internet products and services. 

Our  sales  and  service  delivery  road 
map  will  also  create  opportunities  to 
penetrate  new  enterprise  accounts, 
regardless of size or location. We plan 
to aggressively help customers uncover 
new  ways  to  leverage  the  Internet  to 
solve their unique business challenges, 
improve  productivity  and  ultimately 
generate more revenue. In turn, Internap 
can become more profitable and return 
greater value to our stockholders. 

Internap’s  customers  range  from 
financial services and retail to media and 
entertainment  companies.  Do  you  see 
any interesting technology trends across 
these verticals?

Gene: For the past 10 years, Internap’s 
diverse  customers  have  always  been 
at  the  forefront  of  deploying  cutting-
edge  Internet  applications,  and  we 
have  seen  both  business  models  and 
technology  needs  shift  over  time. 
In  the  90s,  the  hot  application  was 
e-commerce,  then  around  2000, 
it was VoIP. Today, we see video, 
rich media and the emergence 
of Web 2.0 applications. 
With  each  new  “killer 
app”  came  a  richer 
user  experience,  but 
each also created more 
complex  requirements 
for  performance.  We 
believe Internap is poised 
to take advantage of these 
trends by giving busi-
nesses  a  complete 
end-to-end  solution 
–  from  managing 
Internet  infrastruc-
ture, to delivering and 
distributing  applications,

(1)  Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) and related interpretations, using the modified prospective 
transition method and therefore have not restated prior periods’ results. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based 
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” 
and related interpretations. We also provided disclosures in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, 
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosures – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Accordingly, no expense was recognized for options 
to purchase our common stock that were granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value at the date of grant and no expense was recognized in connection with 
purchases under employee stock purchase plans for any periods prior to January 1, 2006.

(2)  Prior to 2006, direct cost of network and sales did not include amortization of purchased technology and such amounts were included in depreciation and amortization. 
In accordance with Question 17 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Implementation Guide to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 86, 
“Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” we have reclassified these costs from “Depreciation and amortization” 
to “Direct cost of network and sales.” These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported operating loss or net loss.

(3)  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 $9.50 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 3.5 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.

(4) Adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock on July 11, 2006.

(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 million, 
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
Financial Review 2006

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated fi nancial statements and accompanying notes of this 
Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

We market products and services that provide managed and premise-
based Internet Protocol (IP) and route optimization technologies that 
enable business-critical applications such as e-commerce, Customer 
Relationship Management (CRM), video and audio streaming, Voice-over 
Internet Protocol (VoIP), Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and supply chain 
management. Our core IP connectivity services and route control technology 
product and service offerings are complemented by IP access solutions 
such as data center services, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and man-
aged security. At December 31, 2006, we delivered services through our 
43 network access points across North America, London, and the Asia-
Pacifi c region, including Tokyo, Japan and Sydney, Australia. Our Private 
Network Access Points (P-NAP) feature direct high-speed connections to 
major Internet backbones such as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, 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 ineffi cien-
cies of traditional IP connectivity options. Our intelligent routing technology 
can facilitate traffi c over multiple carriers, as opposed to just one carrier’s 
network, to ensure highly-reliable performance over the Internet.

We believe our unique managed multi-network approach provides better 
performance, control and reliability compared to conventional Internet 
connectivity alternatives. 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 guar-
antee performance on their own network. We serve customers in a variety 
of industries, including fi nancial services, entertainment and media, travel, 
e-commerce, retail and technology.  As of December 31, 2006, we provided 
our services to more than 2,250 customers in the United States and abroad, 
including several Fortune 1000 and mid-tier enterprises.

we added more than 180 net new customers, bringing our total to more 
than 2,250 enterprise customers as of December 31, 2006. Revenue for 
the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 18% to $181.4 million, 
compared to revenue of $153.7 million for the year ended Decem-
ber 31, 2005.

•  Solidifi ed management team is focused on achieving profi tability and 
revenue by leveraging operating effi ciencies. In November 2005, 
James P. DeBlasio, a 20-year technology veteran and former Lucent 
executive, was appointed CEO. Throughout 2006, our management team 
implemented a renewed emphasis on aggressive cost containment with 
a focus on reducing net losses and driving gross profi t to achieve cost 
savings to benefi t gross profi t to improve stockholder 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. 
The company experienced a net increase in customers from 2005 to 2006. 
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-effi ciently employed. These factors 
have a direct bearing on our fi nancial position and results of operations.

•  Approximately two-thirds of our new monthly recurring revenue is from new 
customers. Selling new monthly recurring revenue to new customers allows 
us to expand our customer base, as well as guard against customer loss.

•  While we have limited 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 qualifi ed leads, generate interest and promote business benefi ts 
among key audiences. We will also conduct public relations efforts 
focused on securing third party recognition of our products and services 
from 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.

HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

•  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 custom-
ers 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 continue to pay a premium 
for our high-performance managed Internet connectivity services.

Reverse stock split. On July 10, 2006, we implemented a 1-for-10 reverse 
stock split of our common stock. Our stockholders authorized the reverse 
stock split on June 21, 2006, at our annual stockholders’ meeting. Our com-
mon stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 11, 2006. All share 
and per share information herein (including shares outstanding, earnings 
per share and warrant and stock option exercise prices) have been retroac-
tively restated for all periods presented to refl ect the reverse stock split.

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

signifi cant degree, on our ability to differentiate our connectivity solutions 
from lower-cost alternatives. The key measures of our success in achiev-
ing this differentiation are revenue and customer growth. During 2006, 

VitalStream acquisition. On October 12, 2006, we entered into a defi nitive 
agreement to acquire VitalStream Holdings, Inc., or VitalStream, in an all-
stock transaction to be accounted for using the purchase method of account-
ing for business combinations. The transaction closed on February 20, 2007.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Review 2006

Under the terms of the agreement, VitalStream stockholders received, at a 
fi xed exchange ratio, 0.5132 shares of our common stock for every share 
of VitalStream common stock in a tax-free exchange. As a result, we 
issued approximately 12.2 million shares of common stock to VitalStream 
stockholders, which represented approximately 25% of our outstanding 
shares. We also assumed outstanding options for the purchase of shares 
of VitalStream common stock, converted into options to purchase approxi-
mately 1.5 million shares of Internap common stock.  The purchase price 
for the acquisition includes the estimated fair value of our common stock 
issued, stock options assumed, and estimated direct transaction costs. We 
derived the values using an average market price per share of our common 
stock of $16.40, which was based on an average of the closing prices for 
a range of trading days from October 6, 2006 through October 16, 2006, 
which range spans October 12, 2006, the announcement date of the 
proposed transaction. The preliminary purchase price of $222.0 million 
was determined based upon the number of VitalStream shares and options 
outstanding at the closing date of February 20, 2007 and taking into 
consideration estimated direct transaction costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our fi nancial condition and results of 
operations are based upon our consolidated fi nancial statements, which 
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States. The preparation of these fi nancial statements 
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 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 under different 
assumptions or conditions.

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

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 fi xed 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 back-up, and remote storage and restoration services. We also offer 
T-1 and fractional DS-3 connections at fi xed rates.

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 
the product, service or software license has been provided, the fees are 
fi xed 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 services, products or software licenses. 
We assess whether the fee is fi xed 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, or PCS, associated with sales of our 
FCP solution and similar products are amortized ratably over the contract 
period, which is generally one year.

Customer credit risk. We routinely review the creditworthiness of our 
customers. If we determine 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 allow-
ance for doubtful accounts is based upon specifi c and general customer 
information, which also includes estimates based on management’s best 
understanding of the customer’s ability to pay. Customer’s ability to pay 
takes into consideration payment history, legal status (e.g., 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 specifi c and general customer information, 
including outstanding promotional credits, customer disputes, credit adjust-
ments not yet processed through the billing system and historical activity. 
If the fi nancial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, or manage-
ment become 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, 
specifi c 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 on our 
consolidated balance sheets.

Investments. We account for investments without readily determinable 
fair values at historical cost, as determined by our initial investment. The 

Internap 2006 Annual Report 

21

 
 
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Review 2006

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, 2006 in Aventail 
Corporation, or Aventail, a 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 
on our consolidated balance sheets.

We account for investments that provide us with the ability to exercise 
signifi cant infl uence, but not control, over an investee, using the equity 
method of accounting. Signifi cant infl uence, 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, 2006, 
Internap Japan Co., Ltd., or Internap Japan, our joint venture with NTT-ME 
Corporation of Japan and another NTT affi liate, qualifi es 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 
our consolidated statements of operations.

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

Goodwill. 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 fi rst 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 fi rst 
step of the SFAS No. 142 analysis, we engaged a professional business 
valuation and appraisal fi rm that utilized discounted cash fl ow valuation 
methods and the guideline company method for reasonableness. The 
forecasts of future cash fl ows 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 deter-
mining fair value depend on our stock price, since market capitalization 

will impact the discount rate to be applied as well as market multiple 
analyses. Changes in the forecast could cause us to either pass or fail 
the fi rst step test and could result in the impairment of goodwill.

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 dupli-
cate 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 modifi ed in 
light of new information or developments, if any. Conversely, any resolved 
disputes that will result in a credit over the disputed amounts are recog-
nized in the month when we determine the resolution. 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 fl ows.

Accrued liabilities. Similar to accruals for disputed telecommunications 
costs above, we must estimate other signifi cant costs such as utilities and 
sales, use, telecommunications and other taxes. These estimates are 
often necessary, either because invoices for services 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, historical trends, related usage, forecasts and 
quotes. Management periodically reviews and modifi es estimates in light 
of new information or developments, if any. Because estimates regarding 
accrued liabilities include assessments of uncertain outcomes, such 
estimates are inherently vulnerable to changes due to unforeseen circum-
stances that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations 
and cash fl ows.

Restructuring liability. When circumstances warrant, we may elect to exit 
certain business activities or change the manner in which we conduct 
ongoing operations. When we make such a change, 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 

22  

Internap 2006 Annual Report

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Review 2006

information, if any, of which it becomes aware. Should circumstances 
warrant, management will adjust its previous estimates to refl ect 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 restructur-
ing estimates in a future period, compared to the $4.8 million restructuring 
liability at December 31, 2006 would result in an $0.5 million expense or 
benefi t 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.

Stock-based compensation. We account for stock-based instruments 
issued to employees in exchange for their services under the fair value 
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based 
Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) and related interpretations. We adopted this 
statement using the modifi ed prospective transition method and therefore 
have not restated prior period’s results. Under SFAS No. 123R, share-based 
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated 
fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the employees’ 
requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. Prior 
to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we utilized the 
disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation” and accounted for stock-based compensation plans under 
the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, 
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. 
Accordingly, no expense was recognized for options to purchase our 
common stock that were granted with an exercise price equal to fair market 
value at the date of grant, and no expense was recognized in connection 
with purchases under our employee stock purchase plans for any periods 
prior to January 1, 2006.

The fair value of equity instruments granted to employees is estimated 
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. To determine the fair value, 
this model requires that we make certain assumptions regarding the volatility 
of our stock, the expected term of each option and the risk-free interest rate. 
Further, we also make assumptions regarding employee termination and 
stock option forfeiture rates that impact the timing of aggregate compensa-
tion expense recognized. These assumptions are subjective and generally 
require signifi cant analysis and judgment to develop.

Because our options are not publicly traded, assumed volatility is based 
on the historical volatility of our stock. We have also used historical data 
to estimate option exercises, employee termination and stock option 
forfeiture rates. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected 
life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the 
time of grant. Changes in any of these assumptions could materially 
impact our results of operations in the period the change is made.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain 
Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 
and 140.” SFAS No. 155 eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS 
No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” 
to interests in securitized fi nancial assets so that similar instruments are 
accounted for similarly, regardless of the form of the instruments. SFAS 
No. 155 also allows issuers of fi nancial statements to elect fair value 
measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized 
fi nancial instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on 
an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would 
otherwise have to be bifurcated. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all fi nancial 
instruments acquired or issued after the fi rst fi scal year beginning after 
September 15, 2006. We believe that SFAS No. 155 will not have a 
material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servic-
ing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” 
SFAS No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and 
servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It also 
permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing 
assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that uses derivative 
instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servic-
ing liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at 
fair value. Under SFAS No. 156, an entity can elect subsequent fair value 
measurement of its servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus 
simplifying its accounting and providing for income statement recognition 
of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of the servicing assets, 
servicing liabilities, and related derivative instruments. An entity that elects 
to subsequently measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair 
value is expected to recognize declines in fair value of the servicing 
assets and servicing liabilities more consistently than by reporting other-
than-temporary impairments. SFAS No. 156 is effective for fi scal years 
beginning after September 15, 2006. We believe that SFAS No. 156 will 
not have a material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In June 2006, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-3, “How Sales 
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities 
Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net 
Presentation),” or EITF 06-3, was issued. EITF 06-3 requires disclosure 
of the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and 
costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis as an accounting policy 
decision. The provisions of this standard are effective for interim and 

Internap 2006 Annual Report 

23

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Review 2006

annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We do 
not expect the adoption of EITF 06-3 to have a material impact on our 
consolidated fi nancial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48, 
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB 
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,” which clarifi es the 
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition 
threshold and measurement attribute for the fi nancial statement recogni-
tion and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in 
a tax return. The Interpretation requires that we recognize in the fi nancial 
statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more-likely-than-
not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the 
position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classifi cation, 
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The 
provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the 
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an 
adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are continuing to evaluate 
the possible impact of FIN 48, on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, 
released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of 
Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year 
Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on how the 
effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year fi nancial statement misstate-
ments should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. 
Prior practice allowed the evaluation of materiality on the basis of the error 
quantifi ed as the amount by which the current year income statement 
was misstated (rollover method) or the cumulative error quantifi ed as the 
cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet was misstated 
(iron curtain method). The guidance provided in SAB 108 requires both 
methods to be used in evaluating materiality. Immaterial prior year errors 
may be corrected with the fi rst fi ling of prior year fi nancial statements after 
adoption. The cumulative effect of the correction would be refl ected in the 
opening balance sheet with appropriate disclosure of the nature and 
amount of each individual error corrected in the cumulative adjustment, 
as well as a disclosure of the cause of the error and that the error had 
been deemed to be immaterial in the past. The adoption of SAB 108 did 
not have a material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” or SFAS No. 157. This 
Statement defi nes fair value as used in numerous accounting pronounce-
ments, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally 
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosure related 
to the use of fair value measures in fi nancial statements. SFAS No. 157 
does not expand the use of fair value measures in fi nancial statements, 
but standardizes its defi nition and guidance in GAAP. The Standard 
emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an 
entity-specifi c measurement based on an exchange transaction in which 
the entity sells an asset or transfers a liability (exit price). SFAS No. 157 
establishes a fair value hierarchy from observable market data as the 
highest level to fair value based on an entity’s own fair value assumptions 

as the lowest level. The Statement is to be effective for our fi nancial 
statements issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. 
We believe that SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our 
consolidated fi nancial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting 
for Defi ned Benefi t Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment 
of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R,” which requires the 
recognition of the over-funded or under-funded status of a defi ned benefi t 
postretirement plan in a company’s balance sheet. This portion of the new 
guidance is effective on December 31, 2006. Additionally, the pronounce-
ment eliminates the option for companies to use a measurement date prior 
to their fi scal year-end effective December 31, 2008. SFAS No. 158 provides 
two approaches to transition to a fi scal year-end measurement date, both 
of which are to be applied prospectively. Under the fi rst approach, plan 
assets are measured on September 30, 2007 and then remeasured on 
January 1, 2008. Under the alternative approach, a 15-month measure-
ment will be determined on September 30, 2007 that will cover the period 
until the fi scal year-end measurement is required on December 31, 2008. 
We do not have any defi ned benefi t pension or postretirement plans that 
are subject to SFAS No. 158. As such, we do not expect the pronounce-
ment to have a material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option 
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of 
FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits companies to measure many 
fi nancial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value 
on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the fair value option). Adoption of 
the standard is optional and may be adpoted beginning in the fi rst quarter 
of 2007. We are currently evaluating the possible impact of adopting 
SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue is generated primarily from the sale of Internet connectivity 
services at fi xed 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 back-up, remote 
storage and restoration services.

Direct cost of network and sales is comprised primarily of:

•  costs for connecting to and accessing Internet network service providers 

and competitive local exchange providers;

•  costs incurred for providing additional third party services to our customers;

•  costs incurred for providing additional third party services to our customers;

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

• amortization of technology-based intangible assets.

Financial Review 2006

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 depending 
on customer demands and pricing variables while network access point 
facility costs are generally fi xed in nature. Direct cost of network and 
sales does not include compensation, depreciation or amortization other 
than the amortization of technology-based intangible assets.

Direct cost of customer support consists primarily of employee compensa-
tion 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 direct cost of customer support.

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 associ-
ated with internal use software are capitalized when the software enters 
the application development stage until implementation of the software 
has been completed. All other product development costs are expensed 
as incurred.

Sales and marketing costs consist of compensation, commissions and 
other costs for personnel engaged in marketing, sales and fi eld service 
support functions, as well as advertising, trade shows, 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 expenses for executive, fi nance, human resources and administra-
tive personnel, professional fees and other general corporate costs.

Liquidity. Although we have been in existence since 1996, we have 
experienced signifi cant operational restructurings in recent years, 
which include substantial changes in our senior management team, 
streamlining our cost structure, consolidating network access points 
and terminating certain non-strategic real estate leases and license 
arrangements. We have a history of quarterly and annual period net 
losses through the year ended December 31, 2005. For the year ended 
December 31, 2006, we recognized net income in each quarter with 
year to date net income of $3.7 million. As of December 31, 2006, our 
accumulated defi cit was $856.5 million. We continue to analyze our 
business to control our costs, principally through making process 
enhancements and renegotiating network contracts for more favorable 
pricing and terms.

Revenue. Revenue for 2006 increased $27.7 million, or 18%, from 
$153.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $181.4 million

The revenue increase is primarily attributable to growth in new and 
existing data center customers, resulting in an increase in data center 
services revenue of $17.8 million, or 49%, to $54.0 million. Revenue 
growth is facilitated in part by the continued expansion of our available 
data center space and our continued efforts to bundle our IP and data 
center services. The demand for data center services has outpaced 
industry-wide supply, which has allowed us to increase the overall 
pricing for the data center component of our pricing models.

Demand for IP traffi c also continues to increase but with declining prices. 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, IP traffi c over our networks 
increased approximately 83% from the year ended December 31, 2005. 
The increase in IP traffi c has come as both existing and new customers 
require greater overall capacity due to growth in the usage of their 
applications as well as in the nature of applications consuming greater 
amounts of bandwidth. In particular, we added a number of high-traffi c 
customers through competitive IP pricing and minimum commitments

during the year ended December 31, 2006. Overall, revenue from IP 
connectivity services increased $4.5 million, or 5%, to $104.4 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2006.

Similar to past years, revenue for the three months ending December 31, 
2006 was also modestly enhanced by our customers’ increased holiday 
traffi c. Other/reseller services are specifi cally infl uenced by “bursting 
rates” for exceeding rate caps or usage limits in the fourth quarter of the 
year. Other/reseller services also include a recovery of revenue previously 
reserved as uncollectible, which also contributed to the increase in IP 
revenue for 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, our customer base totaled more than 2,250 
customers across our 22 metropolitan markets.

Direct cost of network and sales. Direct cost of network and sales increased 
from $82.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $97.9 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 19%. 
The increase of $15.4 million in direct cost of network and sales was largely 
related to variable cost components associated with revenue growth. We, 
however, have also had signifi cant increases in fi xed cost components as 
we have upgraded our P-NAP facilities and expanded data centers for 
customer growth. The primary components of the increase in direct costs 
include $11.2 million for data centers, $2.5 million for content delivery, or 
CDN, services, and $1.4 million related to IP services. Costs for IP services 
are especially subject to ongoing negotiations for pricing and minimum 
commitments. As our IP traffi c continues to grow, we have greater bargain-
ing power for lower bandwidth rates and more opportunities to proactively 
manage network costs, such as utilization and traffi c optimization among 
network service providers.

Connectivity costs vary based upon customer traffi c and other demand-
based pricing variables. Data center costs have substantial fi xed cost 
components, primarily for rent, but also signifi cant demand-based pricing 
variables, such as utilities. CDN, Edge Appliance and other costs associated 
with reseller arrangements are generally variable in nature. We expect all 
of these costs to continue to increase during 2007 with any revenue 
increases. In addition, data center services give us access to new customers 
for whom we can bundle hosting and connectivity services together, 
potentially generating greater profi tability. At December 31, 2006, we had 
approximately 149,000 square feet of data center space with a utilization 
rate of approximately 79%, as compared to approximately 124,000 square 
feet of data center space with a utilization rate of approximately 76% at 
December 31, 2005.

Other operating expenses. Compensation and facilities-related costs have 
a pervasive impact on operating expenses other than direct cost of network 
and sales. After direct cost of network and sales, compensation and benefi ts 
are our most signifi cant expense. Cash-basis compensation and benefi ts 
were $42.9 million for both the years ended December 31, 2006 and 
2005, which refl ects a net increase in commissions of $1.6 million, offset 
by a $1.0 million decrease in salaries and wages and a $0.6 million 

decrease in employee benefi ts. The increase in commissions is revenue-
driven while the decreases in compensation and benefi ts refl ect a consis-
tent headcount of approximately 330 full-time employees compared to 
December 31, 2005 and favorable experience on self-insured medical 
claims. Compensation for the year ended December 31, 2006 also 
includes a substantial increase in employee bonuses over the year ended 
December 31, 2005.

As discussed in note 2 of the consolidated fi nancial statements, we adopted 
SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. Accordingly, total operating costs 
and expense and net income for 2006 includes stock-based compensa-
tion expense in the following amounts:

Direct cost of customer support 
Product development 
Sales and marketing 
General and administrative 

  Total stock-based compensation 

$1,102
628
2,145
2,067

$5,942

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we utilized 
the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123 and accounted for stock-
based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement 
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, 
no expense was recognized for options to purchase our common stock 
that were granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value at the 
date of grant for any periods prior to January 1, 2006.

Pro forma stock-based compensation expense as previously reported for 
2005 was $9.7 million. The decrease of $3.8 million in recorded stock-
based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 
compared to the pro forma stock-based compensation expense for the 
year ended December 31, 2005 is due primarily to cancellations of 
outstanding stock options and the difference between estimated and 
actual forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires compensation expense to be 
recorded net of estimated forfeitures with a subsequent adjustment to 
refl ect actual forfeitures as they occur. Previously, forfeitures of unvested 
stock options were accounted for on a pro forma basis as they were 
incurred, generally resulting in higher pro forma stock compensation than 
under the current provisions of SFAS No. 123R. In addition, a signifi cant 
number of unvested stock options were forfeited upon the resignation of 
Mr. Gregory Peters, our former Chief Executive Offi cer, thus reducing the 
number of outstanding stock options for determining comparative stock-
based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Overall, facility and related costs, including repairs and maintenance, 
communications and offi ce supplies but excluding direct cost of network 
and sales, decreased $0.9 million, or 13%, to $6.0 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2006 compared $6.9 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2005. Facility costs decreased $0.7 million in sales and 
marketing and $0.9 million in general and administrative, primarily 
through consolidation and cost containment efforts.

Financial Review 2006

Other signifi cant operating costs are discussed with the fi nancial statement 
captions below:

Direct cost of customer support. Direct cost of customer support increased 
8% from $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 to 
$11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase of 
$0.9 million was primarily due to increases in costs related to stock-based 
compensation of $1.1 million, offset by decreased compensation and 
employee benefi ts of $0.7 million, as discussed above. In addition, facilities 
and related expenses increased $0.7 million, based on more accurate 
data for allocation of costs, primarily from sales and marketing.

Product development. Product development costs for the year ended 
December 31, 2006 decreased 8% to $4.5 million from $4.9 million for 
the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease of $0.4 million is 
attributable to decreases in costs related to compensation and employee 
benefi ts of $0.5 million, outside professional services of $0.5 million and 
training expenses of $0.1 million. The decreases were offset by an 
increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2006, as discussed above. The decrease in 
compensation and employee benefi ts partially refl ects the redeployment 
of technical resources from product support to internal network support, 
which is accounted for in general and administrative expense. The 
decrease in outside professional services is primarily due to a specifi c 
project in 2005.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing costs for the year ended 
December 31, 2006 increased 5% to $27.2 million from $25.9 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2005. The net increase of $1.3 million 
was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense of 
$2.1 million and commissions of $1.6 million, offset by decreases in 
compensation and employee benefi ts expenses of $1.4 million, all of 
which were discussed above. Also, as discussed with direct cost of 
customer support above, facilities and related expenses decreased 
$0.7 million, largely due to more accurate data allocations of expenses 
to direct cost of customer support.

Outside professional services decreased $0.3 million, and travel, entertain-
ment and training expenses decreased $0.2 million. The decreases in 
outside professional services and training are the result of better utilization 
of internal resources while the decrease in travel and entertainment resulted 
from an effort to reduce less essential travel. All of these reductions were 
partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in marketing and advertising 
efforts during the year ended December 31, 2006.

General and administrative. General and administrative costs for the 
year ended December 31, 2006 increased 10% to $22.1 million from 
$20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase of 
$2.0 million refl ects a $2.4 million increase in taxes (non-income based), 
licenses, and fees, a $2.1 million increase in stock-based compensation 
expense and a $1.1 million increase in compensation and employee 
benefi ts. These increases were offset by decreases in outside professional 
services of $0.9 million, bad debt expense of $0.9 million, facility 

and related expense of $0.9 million, a reduction of insurance and 
administrative expense of $0.3 million and a reduction of training expense 
of $0.2 million. Part of the increase in cash-basis compensation and 
benefi ts is the redeployment of technical resources from product support 
as noted under the caption product development above.

The increase in taxes, licenses and fees is principally related to a March 
2005 reduction in an accrual for an assessment of $1.4 million, including 
interest and penalties, received in July 2004 from the New York State 
Department of Taxation and Finance. The New York assessment resulted 
from an audit of our state franchise tax returns for the years 2000–2002. 
In March 2005, New York State Department of Taxation and Finance reduced 
the assessment to $0.1 million, including interest, and waived penalties.

The increases in compensation and benefi ts, including stock-based 
compensation, and the decrease in facility-related costs are discussed 
above. In addition, the decrease in outside professional services can be 
attributed to a number of factors, including focused cost control and 
better utilization of internal resources. Professional services for the year 
ended December 31, 2006 also includes $0.6 million related to an 
abandoned corporate development project.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, including 
other intangible assets, for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 
8% to $15.9 million compared to $14.7 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2005. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily attributed 
to an increased depreciable base of assets as we upgraded our P-NAP 
facilities and continue to expand our data center facilities.

Income taxes. The provision for income taxes refl ects alternative minimum 
taxes as we have become profi table during the year ended December 31, 
2006. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our 
deferred tax assets of approximately $172.9 million, consisting primarily 
of net operating loss carryforwards. We may recognize deferred tax 
assets in future periods when they are determined to be realizable. To 
the extent we may owe income taxes in future periods, we intend to use 
our net operating loss carryforwards to the extent available to reduce 
cash outfl ows for income taxes.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Review 2006

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 customers 
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 traffi c, much of 
which was subject to “bursting rates” for exceeding rate caps. Revenue 
from our Edge Appliance products, included in other/reseller services, 
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 Decem-
ber 31, 2005, revenue from IP connectivity services continues to decrease 
as a result of repricing of our customer base. Other/reseller services also 
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 approximately 
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.

Direct cost of network and sales. Direct cost of network and sales increased 
from $77.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $82.5 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2005, representing an increase of 6%.

The increase of $4.9 million in direct cost of network and sales 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 traffi c and other demand-
based pricing variables. Data center costs have substantial fi xed cost 
components, primarily for rent, but also signifi cant 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 provide us access to new customers for whom we can bundle 
hosting and connectivity services, 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%.

Direct cost of customer support. Direct cost of customer support 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 benefi ts of $0.3 million for higher staffi ng 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 benefi ts, along with a $0.2 million decrease in offi ce equip-
ment maintenance costs. The decrease in compensation and employee 
benefi t costs were related to organizational changes that allowed us to 
reprioritize projects and more effi ciently 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 market-
ing Edge Appliances and technology and expansion in the Asia-Pacifi c 
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 refl ects 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 offi ce 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 benefi ts.

The reduction in taxes, licenses and fees related to the combination of 
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 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 substantial decrease from 
the original assessment was a result of including the weighted averages of 
investment capital and subsidiary capital, along with business capital, 

28  

Internap 2006 Annual Report

 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Review 2006

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 signifi cantly 
lower apportionment percentages in 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 implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and 
related initiatives in 2004. The improvement in facility and related costs 
is 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 a more 
favorable collections experience in 2005.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, including 
non-technology-based other intangible assets, for the year ended 
December 31, 2005 decreased 5% to $14.7 million compared to 
$15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease of 
$0.8 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 quar-
ter ended September 30, 2004, all remaining contractual obligations for 
network infrastructure and other costs included in the restructuring were 
satisfi ed, and we reduced the remaining recorded liability for the obliga-
tions from $1.7 million to zero.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow for the Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 
and 2004

Net cash from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities 
was $29.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, and was 
primarily due to net income of $3.7 million adjusted for non-cash items 
of $25.4 million, offset by changes in working capital items of $0.5 million. 
The changes in working capital items include net use of cash for accounts 
receivable of $1.7 million, inventory, prepaid expense and other assets 
of $1.8 million, and accrued restructuring of $1.5 million. These were 

offset by net sources of cash in accounts payable of $3.0 million, 
accrued liabilities of $1.4 million and deferred revenue of $1.1 million. 
The increase in receivables at December 31, 2006 compared to Decem-
ber 31, 2005 was related to the 18% increase in revenue. Quarterly days 
sales outstanding at December 31, 2006 decreased to 38 days from 43 
days as of December 31, 2005. The increase in payables is primarily 
related to the timing of payments with the 2006 balance being consistent 
with our normal operating expenses and payment terms.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.5 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 $19.7 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 
items were offset by net sources of cash in accrued liabilities of $0.8 mil-
lion 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 mil-
lion 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 
items 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 days sales 
outstanding increased to 41 days from 39 days as of December 31, 2004 
and 2003, respectively. The increase in payables is primarily related to 
more stringent cash controls in 2004 compared to 2003.

Net cash from investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for 
the year ended December 31, 2006 was $10.4 million, primarily due to 
capital expenditures of $13.4 million. Our capital expenditures were 
principally for upgrading our P-NAP facilities and the expansion of our

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 
was $9.4 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 offi ce space in the latter half of the year.

Net cash from fi nancing activities. Net cash provided by fi nancing activities 
for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2.0 million. Cash provided 
by fi nancing activities was primarily due to proceeds from stock options, 
employee stock purchase plan and exercise of warrants of $6.8 million, 
offset by principal payments on a note payable of $4.4 million and pay-
ments on capital lease obligations of $0.5 million. As a result of these 
activities, we had $7.7 million in a note payable and $0.4 million in capital 
lease obligations as of December 31, 2006 with $4.7 million in the note 
payable and capital leases scheduled as due within the next 12 months.

Net cash used in fi nancing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 
was $5.5 million. Cash used in fi nancing activities included principal pay-
ments 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.

Net cash provided by fi nancing 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 pro-
ceeds 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 repay-
ment 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 fi nancing activities included $24.3 million toward reducing our notes 
payable and aforementioned capital lease obligations and $8.4 million to 
repay the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility.

Liquidity. We recorded net income of $3.7 million and a net loss of $5.0 
million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 
As of December 31, 2006, our accumulated defi cit was $856.5 million. 

We cannot guarantee that we will remain profi table, given the competitive 
and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate. We may not be 
able to sustain or increase profi tability on a quarterly basis, and our failure 
to do so would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise 
additional funds.

Although we experienced positive operating cash fl ow for the year ended 
December 31, 2006, we have a history of negative operating cash fl ow 
and have primarily depended upon equity and debt fi nancings, as well as 
borrowings under our credit facilities, to meet our cash requirements for 
most quarters since we began our operations. Furthermore, we cannot 
guarantee that we will continue to generate positive cash fl ow as we 
integrate VitalStream. However, we expect to meet our cash requirements 
in 2007 through a combination of cash from operating cash fl ows, 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 a number of factors, 
including the continued market acceptance of our services and products, 
the ability to expand and retain our customer base, and other factors. If our 
cash requirements vary materially from those currently planned, if our cost 
reduction initiatives have unanticipated adverse effects on our business, or 
if we fail to generate suffi cient cash fl ow from the sales of our services and 
products, we may require additional fi nancing sooner than anticipated. We 
can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional fi nancing on 
commercially favorable terms, or at all, and provisions in our existing credit 
facility limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Our $5.0 million 
credit facility will expire on December 27, 2007. We cannot assure you 
that this credit facility will be renewed upon expiration on commercially 
favorable terms, or at all. We believe we have suffi cient cash to operate 
our business for the foreseeable future.

Revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2006, we had a $5.0 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, 2006, to modify the amount available for 
borrowing under the revolving credit agreement from $10.0 million to 
$5.0 million with an additional $5.0 million available as needed, decrease 
the letter of credit sub-limit from $6.0 million to $4.7 million, extend the 
expiration date of the revolving credit facility from December 28, 2006 to 
December 27, 2007 and update the loan covenants.

Availability under the revolving credit facility is based on 85% of eligible 
accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2006, $3.9 million in letters 
of credit were issued, and we had available $1.1 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. As of December 31, 
2006, we were in compliance with the various loan covenants.

Note payable to fi nancial institutions. The $17.5 million term loan discussed 
with the revolving credit facility above has a fi xed interest rate of 7.5% 
and is due in 48 equal monthly installments of $0.4 million for principal 
plus interest through September 1, 2008. The balance outstanding at 
December 31, 2006 was $7.7 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.

Capital leases. Our future minimum lease payments on remaining capital 
lease obligations at December 31, 2006 totaled $0.5 million.

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 modifi cations 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 commitments with corresponding 
revenue growth.

The following table summarizes our credit obligations and future contractual commitments as of December 31, 2006 but does not include credit obligations 
or future contractual commitments assumed in the VitalStream acquisition consummated on February 20, 2007 (in thousands):

(1) Note payable does not include interest expense of $0.4 million and $0.1 million due in less than one year and between one and three years, respectively.

(2) Capital lease obligations include imputed interest expense of less than $0.1 million.

Common and preferred stock. Our Certifi cate of Incorporation includes 
authorization for 200 million shares of preferred stock, of which 3.5 mil-
lion shares were designated as Series A. As of December 31, 2006, no 
shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

•  The exercise price per share of each replacement option granted in the 
exchange offer was $14.46, the average of the closing prices of the 
common stock as reported by the American Stock Exchange and the 
NASDAQ Global Market, as applicable, for the 15 consecutive trading days 
ending immediately prior to the grant date of the replacement options;

We issued approximately 12.2 million shares of our common stock to the 
former stockholders of VitalStream in connection with the acquisition, 
which closed on February 20, 2007.

•  For all eligible options with an exercise price per share greater than or 

equal to $20.00, the exchange ratio was 1-for-2; and

On July 10, 2006, we implemented a 1-for-10 reverse stock split and 
amended our Certifi cate of Incorporation to reduce our authorized shares 
from 600 million to 60 million. The Company began trading on a post-reverse 
split basis on July 11, 2006. All share and per share information herein 
(including shares outstanding, earnings per share and warrant and stock 
option data) have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to 
refl ect this reverse split.

In June 2006, our stockholders approved a measure to reprice certain 
outstanding options under our existing equity incentive plans. Options 
with an exercise price per share greater than or equal to $13.00 were 
eligible for the repricing. The repricing was implemented through an 
exchange program under which eligible participants were offered the 
opportunity to exchange their eligible options for new options to purchase 
shares. Each new option had substantially the same terms and conditions 
as the eligible options cancelled except as follows:

•  Each new option has a three-year vesting period, vesting in equal monthly 
installments over three years, so long as the grantee continues to be a 
full-time employee of the Company and has a ten-year term.

Employees of the Company eligible to participate in the exchange offer 
tendered, and the Company accepted for cancellation, eligible options to 
purchase an aggregate of 344,987 shares of common stock, representing 
49.4% of the total shares of common stock underlying options eligible for 
exchange in the exchange offer. The Company issued replacement options 
to purchase an aggregate of 179,043 shares of common stock in exchange 
for the cancellation of the tendered eligible options.

On March 4, 2004, we sold 4.03 million shares of our common stock in 
a public offering at a purchase price of $15.00 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.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS

As described in note 3 to the fi nancial statements, we recognized an 
impairment charge of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 
2006 for certain costs incurred on a new fi nancial accounting system. 
Additionally, we implemented signifi cant restructuring plans in 2001 and 
2002 that resulted in substantial charges for real estate and network 
infrastructure obligations, personnel and other charges. Additional 
charges have subsequently been incurred as we continued to evaluate 
our restructuring reserve. Nominal charges were recorded in the years 
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and net restructuring charges of 
$3.6 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2004. 
We may incur additional changes in future periods.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As discussed in note 4 to the consolidated fi nancial statements, we 
maintain a 51% ownership interest in Internap Japan, a joint venture 
with NTT-ME Corporation of Japan and another NTT affi liate. Due to 
certain minority interest protections afforded to our joint venture partners, 
we are unable to assert control over the joint venture’s operational and 
fi nancial policies and practices required to account for the joint venture 
as a subsidiary whose assets, liabilities, revenue and expense would 
be consolidated.

As discussed in note 13 to the consolidated fi nancial statements, warrants 
to purchase approximately 34,000 shares of our common stock at a 
weighted exercise price of $9.50 per share were outstanding as of 
December 31, 2006.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES 
ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash and short-term deposits at 
our fi nancial institutions. Due to the short-term nature of our deposits, we 
record them on the balance sheet at fair value.

Other investments. We have a $1.2 million equity investment in Aventail, 
a, privately-held company, after reducing 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 investment in Aventail.

We have also invested $4.1 million in Internap Japan, our joint venture 
with NTT-ME Corporation and another NTT affi liate. This investment is 
accounted for using the equity-method and to date we have recognized 
$3.5 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. 
The market for services being offered by Internap Japan has not been 
proven and may never materialize.

Note payable. As of December 31, 2006, we had a note payable recorded 
at its present value of $7.7 million bearing a rate of interest which we 
believe is commensurate with its associated market risk.

Capital leases. As of December 31, 2006, we had capital leases recorded 
at $0.4 million, refl ecting 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, 2006, we had $1.1 million available 
under our revolving credit facility with a bank, and the balance outstanding 
under the $17.5 million term loan was $7.7 million. The interest rate for 
the loan was fi xed at 7.5%. The interest rate under the revolving credit 
facility is variable and was 8.75% at December 31, 2006. 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 fi xed rate or a balance of fi xed 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 fl ows 
by expected maturity dates for our debt obligations that extend beyond one 
year as of December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

 Fair
Value

 $4,375 

$3,281 

$7,656

 7.5%

7.5%

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

Infl ation. The effect of infl ation and changing prices on net sales and 
revenues and income from continuing operations has not been material 
to the Company.

Financial Review 2006

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY AND 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Internap Network Services Corporation (“Internap,” “we,” “us,” “our” or 
the “Company”) markets products and services that provide managed and 
premise-based Internet Protocol, or IP, and route optimization technologies 
that enable business-critical applications such as e-commerce, customer 
relationship management, or CRM, video and audio streaming, Voice-over-IP, 
or VoIP, virtual private networks, or VPNs, and supply chain management. 
Our product and service offerings are complemented by IP access solutions 
such as data center services, content delivery networks, or CDN, and man-
aged security. We deliver services through our 43 network access points 
across North America, London, and the Asia-Pacifi c region, including Tokyo. 
Our Private Network Access Points, or P-NAPs, feature multiple direct 
high-speed connections to major Internet networks, including AT&T, Sprint, 
Verizon, (formerly MCI), Savvis, Global Crossing Telecommunications, and 
Level 3 Communications.

The nature of our business subjects us to certain risks and uncertainties 
frequently encountered by rapidly evolving markets. These risks include the 
failure to develop or supply technology or services, the ability to obtain ade-
quate fi nancing, competition within the industry, and technology trends.

Although we have been in existence since 1996, we have incurred signif-
icant operational restructurings in recent years, which have included 
substantial changes in our senior management team, streamlining our 
cost structure, consolidating network access points, terminating certain 
non-strategic real estate leases and license arrangements. We have a 
history of quarterly and annual period net losses through the year ended 
December 31, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized 
net income in each quarter with year to date net income of $3.7 million. 
At December 31, 2006, our accumulated defi cit was $856.5 million. We 
continue to analyze our business to control our costs, principally through 
making process enhancements and renegotiating network contracts for 
more favorable pricing and terms.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting principles

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

Estimates and assumptions

Our consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance 
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
The preparation of these fi nancial statements 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 related to revenue recognition, doubtful accounts, cost-basis investments, 
intangible assets, stock-based compensation, 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 equivalents 
with major fi nancial 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.

Investments in marketable securities

Marketable securities primarily include high credit quality corporate debt 
securities and U.S. Government Agency debt securities. Management 
determines the appropriate classifi cation of marketable securities at the 
time of purchase. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, all marketable securities 
are classifi ed as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried 
at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in other compre-
hensive income. Our marketable securities are reviewed each reporting 
period for declines in value that are considered 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 specifi c identifi cation method. Interest and dividends 
on securities classifi ed as available-for-sale are included in interest income 
in the consolidated statements of operations.

Other 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, 2006 in Aventail 
Corporation, or Aventail, a 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 invest-
ments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

We account for investments that provide us with the ability to exercise 
signifi cant infl uence, but not control, over an investee using the equity 
method of accounting. Signifi cant infl uence, but not control, is generally 
deemed to exist if we have an ownership interest in the voting stock of 

Internap 2006 Annual Report

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Financial Review 2006

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, 2006, 
Internap Japan Co. Ltd., or Internap Japan, our joint venture with NTT-ME 
Corporation of Japan and another NTT affi liate, qualifi es 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 
income and losses, net of taxes, as separate caption in our consolidated 
statements of operations.

Fair value of fi nancial instruments

Our short-term fi nancial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, 
accounts receivable, accounts payable, note payable, and capital lease 
obligations are carried at cost. The cost of our short-term fi nancial instru-
ments approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our 
marketable securities are designated as available-for-sale and are recorded 
at fair value with changes in fair value refl ected in other comprehensive 
income. The carrying value of our long-term fi nancial instruments, including 
note 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 for collectibility 
each period. This evaluation involves assessing the aging of the amounts 
due to the Company and reviewing the creditworthiness of customers. 
Based on this evaluation, we record an allowance for accounts receivable 
that are estimated to not be collectible.

Financial instrument credit risk

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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial institutions. We have not experienced any 
credit losses on our cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities.

Inventory

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

years or over the lease term, depending on the nature of the improvement, 
but in no event beyond the lease term. The duration of lease obligations 
and commitments range from 24 months for certain networking equip-
ment to 240 months for certain facility leases. Additions 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 Financial 
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, specifi c 
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.

Costs of computer software development

In accordance with the American Institute of Certifi ed Public Accountants’ 
Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Soft-
ware Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” we capitalize certain direct 
costs incurred developing internal use software. We capitalized $0.9 mil-
lion and $1.9 million in internal software development costs for the years 
ended December 31, 2006 and 2004, respectively. We did not capitalize 
any costs during the year ended December 31, 2005.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the balance of unamortized software 
costs was $2.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The software has 
not been placed in service as of December 31, 2006, so no amortization 
expense has been recorded. 

For the year ended December 31, 2005 we capitalized $0.5 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 years ended 
December 31, 2006 or 2004. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the 
balance of unamortized software costs was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, 
respectively, and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, 
amortization expense was $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Property and equipment

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Property and equipment is 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 

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, goodwill is not impaired and no further 

38  

Internap 2006 Annual Report

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Financial Review 2006

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 compared 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 com-
pleted our annual goodwill impairment test as of August 1, 2006 and 
determined that the carrying amount of goodwill was not impaired.

Other acquired intangible assets, including developed technologies and 
patents, have fi nite 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 fi fteen 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 fl ow from such 
asset is separately identifi able 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 fl ows 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 disposal. Losses due to impairment 
of long-lived assets are charged to operations during the period in which 
the impairment is identifi ed.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are determined based on differences between fi nancial 
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

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), 
“Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) and related interpretations, using 
the modifi ed prospective transition method and therefore have not restated 
prior periods’ results. SFAS No. 123R establishes the accounting for equity 
instruments exchanged for employee services. Under SFAS No. 123R, 
share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on 
the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the 
employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we accounted 
for stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measure-
ment provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, 

“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. 
We also provided disclosures in accordance with SFAS No. 123, 
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, 
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosures – 
an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” Accordingly, no expense was 
recognized for options to purchase our common stock that were granted 
with an exercise price equal to fair market value at the date of grant and 
no expense was recognized in connection with purchases under our 
employee stock purchase plans for any periods prior to January 1, 2006.

On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 
123R-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of 
Share-Based Payment Awards,” that allows for a simplifi ed method to 
establish the beginning balance of the APIC pool related to the tax effects 
of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent 
impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash fl ows of 
the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are 
outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R. In 2006, the Company adopted 
the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for 
calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to 
SFAS 123R. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results 
of operations and fi nancial condition.

SFAS No. 123R does not allow the recognition of a deferred tax asset for 
unrealized tax benefi ts associated with the tax deductions in excess of the 
compensation recorded (excess tax benefi t). The Company will recognize 
a benefi t from stock-based compensation in equity if the excess tax bene-
fi t is realized by following the tax law ordering approach.

Treasury stock

As permitted by our stock-based compensation plans, we may, from time 
to time, acquire shares of treasury stock as payment of taxes due from 
employees for stock-based compensation. During 2006, shares of treasury 
stock were acquired as payment of taxes and subsequently reissued as 
part of our stock-based compensation plans. When shares are reissued, 
we use the weighted average cost method for determining cost. The 
difference between the cost of the shares and the issuance price is 
added or deducted from additional contributed capital.

Reverse stock split

On July 10, 2006, we implemented a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on our 
common stock and amended our Certifi cate of Incorporation to reduce 
our authorized shares from 600 million to 60 million. We began trading 
on a post reverse split basis on July 11, 2006. All share and per share 
information herein (including shares outstanding, earnings per share and 
warrant and stock option data) have been retroactively adjusted for all 
periods presented to refl ect this reverse split.

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 revenue is generated 
primarily from the sale of Internet connectivity services at fi xed rates or

usage-based pricing to our customers that desire a DS-3 or faster connec-
tion and other ancillary services. Ancillary services include data center 
services, content delivery network, or CDN, services, server management 
and installation services, virtual private networking services, managed 
security services, data back-up, remote storage and restoration services. 
We also offer T-1 and fractional DS-3 connections at fi xed rates.

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 
the product, service or software license has been delivered, the fees are 
fi xed 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 fi xed 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 is deferred and amortized over the estimated 
life of the customer relationship, which is generally two years, as the instal-
lation 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, which is generally one year.

We routinely review the creditworthiness and payment status of our 
customers. If we determine 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 specifi c and general 
customer information, which also includes estimates based on manage-
ment’s best understanding of our customers’ ability to pay and their 
payment status. Customers’ ability to pay takes into consideration payment 
history, legal status (e.g., bankruptcy), and the status of services we are 
providing. We assess the payment status of customers by reference to 
the terms under which services or goods are provided with any payments 
not made on or before their due date considered past-due. 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 specifi c and general 
customer information, including outstanding promotional credits, customer 
disputes, credit adjustments not yet processed through the billing system 
and historical activity. If the fi nancial condition of our customers were to 
deteriorate, or management become aware of new information impacting 
a customer’s credit risk, additional allowances may be required.

Research and product development costs

Product development costs are primarily related to network engineering 
costs associated with changes to the functionality of our proprietary services 
and network architecture. Such costs that do not qualify for capitalization 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 accelera-
tion technologies. Research and development costs were $2.4 million, 
$2.9 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 
2005, and 2004, respectively.

Advertising costs

We expense all advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs for 
2006, 2005 and 2004 were $1.3 million, $0.2 million and $1.3 million, 
respectively.

Net income (loss) per share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share has been computed using 
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding 
during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using 
the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares 
outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares consist of the 
incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding 
stock options and warrants and unvested restricted stock using the trea-
sury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates the dilutive 
effect for only those stock options and warrants for which the sum of 
proceeds, including unrecognized compensation and windfall tax bene-
fi ts, if any, is less than the average stock price during the period pre-
sented. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of 
net income (loss) per share if their effect is antidilutive.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended 
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are calculated as follows 
(in thousands, except per share amounts):

Reclassifi cations

In 2005 and 2004, direct cost of network and sales did not include 
amortization of purchased technology and such amounts were included 
in depreciation and amortization. In accordance with Question 17 of the 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Implementation Guide to 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 86, “Accounting for 
the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” 
we have reclassifi ed these costs from “Depreciation and amortization” 
to “Direct cost of network and sales” in the accompanying consolidated 
statements of operations with the following effect (in thousands):

  of depreciation and amortization shown below:

These reclassifi cations had no effect on previously reported operating loss 
or net loss.

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. Since the sale of products and the related assets 
comprise less than 10% of our total revenue and total assets, respectively, 
management does not disaggregate its business for internal reporting and 
therefore presents a single business segment. Through December 31, 
2006, neither revenue generated nor long-lived assets located outside 
the United States were signifi cant, as all were less than 10%.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain 
Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 
and 140.” SFAS No. 155 eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS No. 
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to 
interests in securitized fi nancial assets so that similar instruments are 
accounted for similarly, regardless of the form of the instruments. SFAS 
No. 155 also allows issuers of fi nancial statements to elect fair value 
measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized 
fi nancial instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on 
an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would 

otherwise have to be bifurcated. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all fi nancial 
instruments acquired or issued after the fi rst fi scal year beginning after 
September 15, 2006. We believe that SFAS No. 155 will not have a 
material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing 
of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS 
No. 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and ser-
vicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. It also 
permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing 
assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that uses derivative 
instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing 
liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at fair 
value. Under SFAS No. 156, an entity can elect subsequent fair value 
measurement of its servicing assets and servicing liabilities by class, thus 
simplifying its accounting and providing for income statement recognition 
of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of the servicing assets, 
servicing liabilities, and related derivative instruments. An entity that elects 
to subsequently measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair 
value is expected to recognize declines in fair value of the servicing assets 
and servicing liabilities more consistently than by reporting other-than-
temporary impairments. SFAS No. 156 is effective for fi scal years beginning 
after September 15, 2006. We believe that SFAS No. 156 will not have a 
material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In June 2006, Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-3, “How Sales 
Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authori-
ties Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus 
Net Presentation)” (EITF 06-3), was issued. EITF 06-3 requires disclosure 
of the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and 
costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis as an accounting policy 
decision. The provisions of this standard are effective for interim and 
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We do 
not expect the adoption of EITF 06-3 to have a material impact on our 
consolidated fi nancial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), 
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB 
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,” which clarifi es the 
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition 
threshold and measurement attribute for the fi nancial statement recogni-
tion and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in 
a tax return. The Interpretation requires that we recognize in the fi nancial 
statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more-likely-than-
not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the 
position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classifi cation, 
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The 
provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the 
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an 
adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are continuing to evaluate 
the possible impact of FIN 48 on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Financial Review 2006

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, 
released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of 
Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current 
Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on 
how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year fi nancial state-
ment misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year 
misstatement. Prior practice allowed the evaluation of materiality on the 
basis of the error quantifi ed as the amount by which the current year income 
statement was misstated (rollover method) or the cumulative error quanti-
fi ed as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet 
was misstated (iron curtain method). The guidance provided in SAB 108 
requires both methods to be used in evaluating materiality. Immaterial prior 
year errors may be corrected with the fi rst fi ling of prior year fi nancial 
statements after adoption. The cumulative effect of the correction would 
be refl ected in the opening balance sheet with appropriate disclosure of 
the nature and amount of each individual error corrected in the cumulative 
adjustment, as well as a disclosure of the cause of the error and that the 
error had been deemed to be immaterial in the past. The adoption of SAB 
108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS 
No. 157 defi nes fair value as used in numerous accounting pronounce-
ments, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally 
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosure related 
to the use of fair value measures in fi nancial statements. SFAS No. 157 
does not expand the use of fair value measures in fi nancial statements, 
but standardizes its defi nition and guidance in GAAP. SFAS No. 157 
emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an 
entity-specifi c measurement based on an exchange transaction in which 
the entity sells an asset or transfers a liability (exit price). SFAS No. 157 
establishes a fair value hierarchy from observable market data as the 
highest level to fair value based on an entity’s own fair value assumptions 
as the lowest level. SFAS No. 157 is to be effective for our fi nancial state-
ments issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. We believe 
that SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our consolidated 
fi nancial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting 
for Defi ned Benefi t Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment 
of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R,” which requires the 
recognition of the over-funded or under-funded status of a defi ned benefi t 
postretirement plan in a company’s balance sheet. This portion of the new 
guidance is effective on December 31, 2006. Additionally, the pronouncement 
eliminates the option for companies to use a measurement date prior to 
their fi scal year-end effective December 31, 2008. SFAS No. 158 provides 
two approaches to transition to a fi scal year-end measurement date, both 
of which are to be applied prospectively. Under the fi rst approach, plan 
assets are measured on September 30, 2007 and then remeasured on 
January 1, 2008. Under the alternative approach, a 15-month measure-
ment will be determined on September 30, 2007 that will cover the period 
until the fi scal year-end measurement is required on December 31, 2008. 

We do not have any defi ned benefi t pension or postretirement plans that 
are subject to SFAS No. 158. As such, we do not expect the pronouncement 
to have a material impact on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option 
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of 
FASB Statement No. 115,” which permits companies to measure many 
fi nancial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value 
on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the fair value option). Adoption of 
the standard is optional and may be adpoted beginning in the fi rst quarter 
of 2007. We are currently evaluating the possible impact of adopting 
SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated fi nancial statements.

3. ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS

In 2004, we began the implementation of a new fi nancial system. In 
accordance with the American Institute of Certifi ed Public Accountants 
(AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of 
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” certain costs 
related to the system implementation were capitalized. Implementation of 
the fi nancial system was suspended at the end of 2004, and resumed 
during 2006 with a new vendor to assist in the initial phase of the imple-
mentation. During the 2006 implementation process and as part of our 
periodic evaluation of the carrying value of long-lived assets, management 
evaluated the carrying value of the costs capitalized during the 2004 
implementation in accordance with the guidance provided by SFAS No. 
144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” 
We determined that due to the selection of a new implementation vendor, 
process changes resulting from internal reorganizations and new proce-
dures established to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, some 
of the work completed during the 2004 implementation would no longer 
be used and that the related carrying value of the capitalized costs was 
not recoverable. As such, management recognized an impairment charge 
of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2006.

In 2001 and 2002, we implemented signifi cant restructuring plans that 
resulted in substantial charges for real estate and network infrastructure 
obligations, personnel and other charges. Additional related charges 
have subsequently been incurred as we continue to evaluate our 
restructuring reserve.

In 2006, we recorded a nominal charge for net changes in estimated 
expenses related to real estate obligations. The following table displays 
the activity and balances for restructuring activity for 2006 (in thousands):

In 2004, we incurred net additional restructuring costs of $3.6 million as 
a result of a comprehensive analysis of the remaining accrued restructuring 
liability. After reviewing the analysis, management concluded that sub-
leasing the facilities remaining in the restructuring accrual took 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 infrastructure and other costs included in the restructuring 
were satisfi ed, and we reduced the remaining recorded liability for the 
obligations from $1.7 million to zero. The following table displays the

We maintain a 51% ownership interest in Internap Japan, a joint venture

unable to assert control over the joint venture’s operational and fi nancial 
policies and practices required to account for the joint venture as a sub-
sidiary 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 signifi cant infl uence 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

4. INVESTMENTS

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

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 fi nancing, we concluded that our investment in Aventail had 
experienced a decline in value that was other-than-temporary. As a result,

During 2006 and 2005, $8.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively, of fully 
depreciated assets were retired. In conjunction with the ongoing analysis 
of our property and equipment, we identifi ed certain assets, initially classi-
fi ed predominantly as network equipment, that are more characteristic of 
infrastructure. As of December 31, 2005, $20.3 million and $1.2 million, 
representing the cost basis initially recorded in network equipment and 
furniture, equipment and software, respectively, were reclassifi ed to lease-
hold improvements. These reclassifi cations had no effect on previously 
reported balance sheets, depreciable lives or operations.

The assumptions, inputs and judgments used in performing the valuation 
analysis are inherently subjective and refl ect 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 circum-
stances, 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, 2006 and 2005, 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.”

8. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND NOTE PAYABLE

At December 31, 2006, we had a $5.0 million revolving credit facility 
and a $17.5 million term loan (note payable) under a loan and security 
agreement with a bank. The agreement was amended as of December 27, 
2006, to modify the amount available for borrowing under the revolving 
credit agreement from $10.0 million to $5.0 million with an additional 
$5.0 million available as needed, decrease the letter of credit sub-limit from 
$6.0 million to $4.7 million, extend the expiration date of the revolving 
credit facility from December 28, 2006 to December 27, 2007 and update 
the loan covenants. The interest rate on the revolving credit was set to the 
bank’s prime rate.

Availability under the revolving credit facility is based on 85% of eligible 
accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2006, $3.9 million of letters 
of credit were issued, and we had available $1.1 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 note payable under the security agreement described above has a fi xed 
interest rate of 7.5% and is due in 48 equal monthly installments of principal 
plus interest through September 1, 2008. The loan was used to purchase 
assets previously recorded as capital leases under a master agreement 
with a primary supplier of networking equipment. The loan is collateralized 
by all of our assets, except patents. The balance outstanding under the 
note payable was $7.7 million and $12.0 million at December 31, 2006 
and 2005, respectively.

The maturity of the note payable at December 31, 2006 is as follows

We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are determined based on differences between fi nancial 
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.

The carrying value of our note payable as of December 31, 2006, 
approximates fair value as the interest rates approximate current market 
rates of similar debt obligations.

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

   $            –  $            –

As of December 31, 2006 we have net operating loss carryforwards of 
approximately $553.9 million that will expire from 2012 through 2025. 
Capital loss carryforwards of $5.4 million expired in 2006. In addition, 
alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards were created during 2006 
of approximately $165,000, which have an indefi nite carryforward period.

We also have foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately 
$41.9 million as of December 31, 2006 that will begin to expire in 2008. 
During 2005, the Company did not present foreign net operating losses 
as a deferred tax asset. Such losses would have required a full valuation 
allowance, in the opinion of management. The foreign net operating losses 
are presented in the table above as deferred tax assets that require a full 
valuation allowance as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Utilization of net operating losses is subject to the limitations imposed by 
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this provision, we will be 
precluded from utilizing approximately $215.7 million of our $553.9 million 

in net operating 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 valuation 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 recov-
erability 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.

It is company policy to reinvest foreign earnings indefi nitely within each 
country when foreign operations become profi table. As a result, no provi-
sion or benefi t is made for income taxes that would be payable upon the 
distribution of such earnings, and it is not practicable to determine the 
amount of the related unrecognized deferred income tax liability.

11. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN

We sponsor a defi ned contribution retirement savings plan that qualifi es 
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 $0.7 million, 
$0.6 million and $0.2 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

12.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, CONCENTRATIONS 

OF RISK AND LITIGATION

Operating leases

We, as a lessee, have entered into leasing arrangements relating to offi ce 
and service point rental space and offi ce equipment that are classifi ed 
as operating leases. Lease terms range from 2 to 30 years and contain 
various periods of free rent and renewal options. However, rent expense 
is recorded on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term and renewal 
periods that are reasonably assured. Future minimum lease payments on 
non-cancelable operating leases are as follows at December 31, 2006 
(in thousands):

lease income, recorded as a reduction of rent expense, was $0.6 million, 
$0.2 million and $0.3 million during the years ended December 31,

Service commitments

We have entered into service commitment contracts with Internet network 
service providers to provide interconnection services and data center pro-
viders to provide space for our customers. Future minimum payments under 
these service commitments having terms in excess of one year are as 
follows at December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

$33,367

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 dis-
putes 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 modifi ed in light of new informa-
tion 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 mate-
rially and adversely affect our results of operations and cash fl ows.

As part of our acquisition of CO Space on June 20, 2000, we assumed 
a pre-acquisition accounts payable liability of $1.3 million. As disclosed 
in our 2003 fi nancial statements, we wrote off the $1.3 liability amount 
as we believed the obligation no longer existed. In the fourth quarter of 
2006, the Company received an inquiry from the vendor regarding the 
status of the former $1.3 million payable. We have reviewed the inquiry 
and continue to believe that we have no obligation to make the $1.3 mil-
lion payment. However, the vendor may continue to assert it has rights to 
a claim and has made a request for payment.  As of December 31, 2006, 
we have not accrued any amounts associated with this claim as we 
believe a loss is neither probable or estimable. Any associated legal costs 
will be expensed as incurred.

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 addi-
tion, the routers and switches used in our network infrastructure are currently 
supplied by a limited number of vendors. Furthermore, we do not carry 
signifi cant inventories of the products we purchase, and we have no guar-
anteed supply arrangements with our vendors. A loss of a signifi cant 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial 
condition, results of operations or cash fl ows.

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 profes-
sional service provider to initiate an appeal. In April 2005, New York 
State Department of Taxation and Finance reduced the assessment to 
$0.1 million, including interest and waived penalties. 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 signifi cantly lower apportionment percentages in 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 refl ected 
in accrued liabilities and general and administrative expense in the 
accompanying fi nancial statements.

13.  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 Certifi cate of Incorporation. An aggre-
gate 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.

Common stock

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 an acquisition in 2003, we granted warrants to purchase 
an aggregate of 0.2 million shares of our common stock to stockholders of 
the acquired company. These warrants were exercisable if the stockholders 
of the acquired company participated in a private placement of shares of 
our common or preferred stock and their participation was in an amount 
equal to or greater than $4.4 million. Each warrant was exercisable for one 
share of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.50 per share and 
expired on October 1, 2006. There was no value allocated to these warrants.

Outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock at 
December 31, 2006, are as follows (shares in thousands):

On September 18, 2006, our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ 
Global Market, under the symbol “INAP.” We voluntarily delisted our 
common stock from the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), effective 
September 17, 2006.

On July 10, 2006, we implemented a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our 
common stock. Authorization to implement the reverse stock split was 
approved on June 21, 2006, by our stockholders at our annual stock-
holders’ meeting. Our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted 
basis on July 11, 2006. All share and per share information herein 
(including shares outstanding, earnings per share and warrant and stock 
option exercise prices) have been retroactively restated for all periods 
presented to refl ect the reverse stock split.

On March 4, 2004, we sold 4.03 million shares of our common stock in a 
public offering at a purchase price of $15.00 per share which resulted in 
net proceeds to us of $55.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts 
and commissions and offering expense.

Treasury stock

During 2006, shares of treasury stock were acquired as payment of taxes 
on stock-based compensation from employees and subsequently reissued 
as part of our stock-based compensation plans.

Warrants to purchase common stock

As of December 31, 2006, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 
approximately 34,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price 
of $9.50 per share.

On September 14, 2001, in conjunction with our series A preferred stock 
fi nancing, we issued warrants to purchase up to 17.1 million shares of 
common stock at $1.48256 per share for a period of fi ve 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.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

General

We have adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” 
(SFAS No. 123R) and related interpretations, using the modifi ed prospective 
transition method and therefore have not restated prior periods’ results. 
SFAS No. 123R establishes the accounting for equity instruments exchanged 
for employee services. Under SFAS No. 123R, share-based compensation 
cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of 
the award. The expense is recognized over the employee’s requisite service 
period, generally the vesting period of the award. Prior to the adoption of 
SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based 
compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions 
of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for 
Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. We also provided 
disclosures in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosures – an Amendment of 
FASB Statement No. 123.” Accordingly, no expense was recognized for 
options to purchase our common stock that were granted with an exercise 
price equal to fair market value at the date of grant, and no expense was 
recognized in connection with purchases under our employee stock pur-
chase plans for any periods prior to January 1, 2006. As a result of 
adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, our income before taxes 
and net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $5.1 million, 
or $0.15 per basic and $0.14 per diluted share, lower than if we had con-
tinued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25.

Deferred compensation related to 100,000 shares of restricted stock was 
granted in connection with the September 30, 2005 employment agree-
ment between the Company and its new President and Chief Executive 
Offi cer. This deferred compensation was refl ected in stockholders’ equity 
as of December 31, 2005, and is being recognized ratably in accordance 
with the terms of vesting. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the 
unamortized balance of the deferred compensation was reclassifi ed to 
additional paid-in capital.

In June 2006, our stockholders approved a measure to reprice certain 
outstanding options under our existing equity incentive plans. Options 
with an exercise price per share greater than or equal to $13.00 were 
eligible for the repricing. The repricing was implemented through an 
exchange program under which eligible participants were offered the 
opportunity to exchange their eligible options for new options to purchase 
shares. Each new option had substantially the same terms and conditions 
as the eligible options cancelled, except as follows:

•  The exercise price per share of each replacement option granted in the 
exchange offer was $14.46, the average of the closing prices of the 
common stock as reported by the American Stock Exchange and the 
NASDAQ Global Market, as applicable, for the 15 consecutive trading days 
ending immediately prior to the grant date of the replacement options;

•  For all eligible options with an exercise price per share greater than or 

equal to $20.00, the exchange ratio was 1-for-2; and

•  Each new option has a three-year vesting period, vesting in equal monthly 
installments over three years, so long as the grantee continues to be a 
full-time employee of the Company and has a ten-year term.

A total of 50 employees eligible to participate in the exchange offer tendered, 
and we accepted for cancellation, eligible options to purchase an aggregate 
of 344,987 shares of common stock, representing 49.4% of the total shares 
of common stock underlying options eligible for exchange in the exchange 
offer. We issued replacement options to purchase an aggregate of 179,043 
shares of common stock in exchange for the cancellation of the tendered 
eligible options.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, we will recognize $0.1 million of 
incremental compensation cost over the three-year vesting period as a 
result of the option exchange. The incremental expense was measured 
as the excess of the fair value of the repriced options over the fair value 
of the original options immediately before the terms of the original options 
were modifi ed. The measurement was based on the share price and other 
pertinent factors at that date of modifi cation.

The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation 
expense, net of estimated forfeitures in accordance with SFAS No. 123R,

Note that the above pro forma disclosure was not presented for the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2006 because stock-based compensation 
has been accounted for in the statement of operations using the fair value 
recognition method under SFAS No. 123R for those periods.

The decrease in recorded stock-based compensation expense for the 
twelve months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the pro forma 
stock-based compensation expense for the twelve months ended 
December 31, 2005 is due primarily to cancellations of outstanding stock 
options and the difference between estimated and actual forfeitures.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Financial Review 2006

SFAS No. 123R requires compensation expense to be recorded net of 
estimated forfeitures with a subsequent adjustment to reflect actual 
forfeitures as they occur. Previously, forfeitures of unvested stock options 
were accounted for on a pro forma basis as they were incurred, generally 
resulting in higher pro forma stock compensation than under the current 
provisions of SFAS No. 123R. In addition, a signifi cant number of unvested 
stock options were forfeited upon the resignation on November 18, 2005 
of Mr. Gregory Peters, our former Chief Executive Offi cer, thus reducing the 
number of outstanding stock options for determining comparative stock-
based compensation expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 
2006. These unvested options were included in the calculation of our pro 
forma stock expense previously reported for the twelve months ended 
December 31, 2005.

The weighted average fair values of outstanding stock options has been 
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
The signifi cant weighted average assumptions used for estimating the 
fair value of the activity under our stock option plans for the years ended 
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, were expected terms of 5.7, 4.0 
and 4.0 years, respectively; historical volatilities of 123%, 118% and 
142%, respectively; risk free interest rates of 4.63%, 4.22% and 4.27%, 
respectively and no dividend yield. The weighted average estimated fair 
value per share of our employee stock options at grant date was $7.75, 
$3.50 and $11.83 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 
2004, respectively.

Stock compensation and option plans

On June 23, 2005, we adopted the Internap Network Services Corporation 
2005 Incentive Stock Plan, which was amended and restated on March 15, 
2006, or the 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 administered by the compensation 
committee of the Board of Directors. A total of 6.8 million shares of stock 
is reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan, comprised of 2.0 million 
shares designated in the 2005 Plan, plus 1.0 million shares that remain 
available for issuance of options and awards and 3.8 million shares of 
unexercised options under certain pre-existing plans. We will not make 
any future grants under the specifi ed pre-existing plans, but each of the 
specifi ed pre-existing 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, 2006, 
2.6 million options were outstanding, 0.4 million shares of non-vested 
restricted stock awards were outstanding and 2.9 million shares of stock 
were available for issuance under the 2005 plan.

The 2005 Plan also provides that in any calendar year, no eligible employee 
or director shall be granted an option to purchase more than 1.4 million 
shares of stock or a stock appreciation right based on the appreciation with 
respect to more than 1.4 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  $3.0 million. Furthermore, no more than 
0.7 million non-forfeitable shares of stock shall be issued pursuant to 
stock grants.

During July 1999, we adopted the 1999 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock 
Option Plan, or the Director Plan. The Director Plan provides for the grant of 
non-qualifi ed stock options to non-employee directors. A total of 0.4 million 
shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 
Director Plan. Under the terms of the Director Plan, non-employee directors 
receive fully-vested and exercisable initial grants of 8,000 shares of our 
common stock on the date such person is fi rst elected or appointed as a 
non-employee director. The Director Plan provides that on the day after 
each of our annual stockholder meetings, starting with the annual meeting 
in 2000, each non-employee director receives a fully vested and exercisable 
option for 2,000 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 affi liates. As of December 31, 2006, 
0.1 million options were outstanding and 0.3 million options were available 
for grant pursuant to the Director Plan.

The option price for each share of stock subject to an option shall generally 
be no less than the fair market value of a share of stock on the date the 
option is granted. Stock options generally have a maximum term of ten 
years from the date of grant. Incentive stock options, or ISOs, may be 
granted only to eligible employees and if granted to a 10% stockholder, 
the terms of the grant will be more restrictive than for other 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.

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 Board of 
Directors or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors, as 
applicable. Stock options generally vest 25% after one year and monthly 
over the following three years, except for non-employee directors who 
usually receive immediately 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 condition 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. Common stock has been reserved under 
each of the stock compensation plans to satisfy option exercises with 
newly issued stock.

Internap 2006 Annual Report

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
Financial Review 2006

During 2006, we completed an internal review of our prior stock option 
granting practices. As a result of the review, however, we determined that 
approximately $0.2 million of net expense should have been recognized 
in prior periods in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for 
Stock Issued to Employees.” The expense was due to a small number of 
grants made in 2002 and 2003 that had exercise prices that were lower 
than our stock price at the date of grant and one grant that should have 
been accounted for as a variable stock option, in accordance with FASB 
Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and 
Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans, an interpretation of APB 
Opinions No. 15 and 25.” Substantially all of the net expense should have 
been recorded between April 1, 2003 and December 31, 2004. We have 
considered the impact of the error, including the assessment of any 
potential impact on prior period loan covenants and concluded that the 
error was not material to our fi nancial statements for any prior period. 
Based on this evaluation, we recorded the expense in the current period 
and it is included in general and administrative expense in the accompa-
nying statements of operations.

None of our stock options or the underlying shares is subject to any right 
to repurchase by the Company.

The total intrinsic value at December 31, 2006 of all options outstanding 
and expected to vest was $28.8 million. The total intrinsic value at 
December 31, 2006 of all options exercisable was $14.5 million.

The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the years 
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $2.1 million and $16,000, 
respectively. The cumulative effect of the change in the forfeiture rate for 
non-vested restricted stock was immaterial and recorded as part of oper-
ating expense. There were no restricted stock awards during the year 
ended December 31, 2004.

Total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock-based 
compensation as of December 31, 2006, is summarized as follows 
(dollars in thousands):

Initially, the price for shares of common stock purchased under the 2004 
ESPP was the lesser of 85% of the closing sale price per share of common 
stock on the fi rst day of the purchase period or 85% of such closing price 
on the last day of the purchase period. Approximately 0.1 million shares 
were granted under the 2004 ESPP during each of the years ended 
December 31, 2006 and 2005. The 2004 ESPP was intended to be a 
non-compensatory plan for both tax and fi nancial reporting purposes. 
Upon our adoption of SFAS No. 123R in the fi rst quarter of 2006, however, 
we recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million during the year ended 
December 31, 2006, representing the estimated fair value of the benefi t 
to participants as of the beginning of the purchase period. In January 2006, 
the 2004 ESPP 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 fi rst day 
of the offering period as a basis for determining the purchase price. This 
amendment restores the plan to being non-compensatory for fi nancial 
reporting purposes and is effective for the purchase period July 1 through 
December 31, 2006. As such, no additional compensation expense for the 
2004 ESPP was recognized after June 30, 2006. Cash received from partici-
pation in the 2004 ESPP was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years 
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006, 
0.3 million shares were reserved for future issuance under the 2004 ESPP.

At December 31, 2006, total shares reserved for future awards under all 
plans was 6.1 million.

Cash received from all stock-based compensation arrangements was 
$3.0 million, $1.5 million and $5.0 million for the years ended Decem-
ber 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

As discussed in note 4, we have an investment in Aventail, who is also a

2006 and 2005, our outstanding receivable balances with Aventail were 
less than $0.1 million.

We have entered into indemnifi cation agreements with our directors and

such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law. We also intend to enter 
into these agreements with our future directors and executive offi cers.

Employee stock purchase plans

Effective June 15, 2004, we adopted the 2004 Internap Network Services 
Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2004 ESPP. The pur-
pose of the 2004 ESPP 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 2004 ESPP 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.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT – VITALSTREAM ACQUISITION

17. UNAUDITED QUARTERLY RESULTS

On October 12, 2006, we entered into a defi nitive agreement to acquire 
VitalStream Holdings, Inc., or VitalStream, in an all-stock transaction to 
be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business 
combinations. The transaction closed on February 20, 2007. Under the 
terms of the agreement, VitalStream stockholders received, at a fi xed 
exchange ratio, 0.5132 shares of Internap common stock for every share 
of VitalStream common stock in a tax-free exchange. As a result, we 
issued approximately 12.2 million shares of common stock in respect of 
outstanding VitalStream common shares, which represented approximately 
25% of our outstanding shares. The purchase price for the acquisition 
includes the estimated fair value of Internap common stock issued, stock 
options assumed, and estimated direct transaction costs. The values are 
derived using an average market price per share of Internap common 
stock of $16.40, which was based on an average of the closing prices for 
a range of trading days, from October 6, 2006 through October 16, 2006, 
around the announcement date, which was October 12, 2006. The pre-
liminary purchase price of $222.0 million was determined based upon 
the number of VitalStream shares and options outstanding at the closing 
date of February 20, 2007 and taking into consideration estimated 
direct transaction costs.

The total purchase price and purchase price allocation have not been 
fi nalized. Using VitalStream’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, 
total assets acquired are $224.1 million and total liabilities assumed are 
$15.0 million. Included in total assets will be intangible assets for devel-
oped technologies, customer relationships, trade names and goodwill.

The following table sets forth selected unaudited quarterly data for the 
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. In the opinion of manage-
ment, this information has been prepared on the same basis as the 
audited fi nancial statements and all necessary adjustments, consisting 
of only normal recurring adjustments, have been included in the amounts 
stated below to state fairly, in all material respects, the quarterly informa-
tion when read in conjunction with the audited fi nancial 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 consolidated fi nancial statements and of its internal control 
over fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the 
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated fi nancial statements

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the 
related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders’ equity 
and comprehensive income (loss) and of cash fl ows present fairly, in all 
material respects, the fi nancial position of Internap Network Services 
Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the 
results of their operations and their cash fl ows for each of the three years 
in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These 
fi nancial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fi nancial 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 fi nancial state-
ments are free of material misstatement. An audit of fi nancial statements 
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the fi nancial statements, assessing the accounting principles 
used and signifi cant estimates made by management, and evaluating the 
overall fi nancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company 
changed the manner in which it accounts for share-based compen-
sation in fiscal 2006.

Internal control over fi nancial 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 
fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria estab-
lished in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Commit-
tee 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 fi nancial reporting as of December 31, 2006, 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 fi nancial reporting and for its 

assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over fi nancial reporting. 
Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and 
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over fi nancial 
reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over 
fi nancial 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 fi nancial reporting was maintained 
in all material respects. An audit of internal control over fi nancial report-
ing includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over fi nan-
cial reporting, evaluating management’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 fi nancial reporting is a process designed 
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of fi nancial report-
ing and the preparation of fi nancial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s 
internal control over fi nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures 
that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, 
accurately and fairly refl ect the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are 
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of fi nancial 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 detec-
tion of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s 
assets that could have a material effect on the fi nancial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over fi nancial reporting 
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evalua-
tion 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.

Some of the statements contained in this Annual Report contain forward-looking statements that refl ect 
our plans, beliefs and current views with respect to, among other things, future events and fi nancial

Specifi cally, this Annual Report contains, among others, forward-looking statements regarding: our 
ability to successfully integrate the operations of Internap and VitalStream; our ability to compete against 
existing and future competitors; our ability to respond successfully to the evolution of the high performance 
Internet connectivity, content delivery, streaming and related services industries; our ability to respond 
successfully to technological change; the availability on favorable terms or at all of services from various 
Internet network and other third parties on whom we rely to provide our services, and the failure of such

Any forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report are based upon our historical

factors, may cause actual results to differ from those projected in any forward-looking statement. 
Accordingly, the risks and uncertainties to which we are subject can be expected to change over time, and 
we undertake no obligation to update publicly or review the risks or uncertainties described in this Annual 
Report. We also undertake no obligation to update publicly or review any of the forward-looking statements

one or more of the risks or uncertainties referred to in this Annual Report materialize, or if our underlying 
assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we have projected. Any 
forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report refl ect our current views with respect to future 
events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, 
fi nancial condition, growth strategy, and liquidity. You should specifi cally consider the factors identifi ed in 
this Annual Report that could cause actual results to differ. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements 
by these cautionary statements. In addition, with respect to all of our forward-looking statements, we claim 
the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 

As used herein, except as otherwise indicated by the context, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the 

“Company” refer to Internap Network Solutions Corporation and its subsidiaries.
