Item 1. Business
Overview
Glowpoint, Inc. ("Glowpoint" or "we" or "us" or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a leading provider of cloud-based managed video services for the global business community. We are the only “pure play” service provider in the video space and our hosted services are securely accessible via any network (private or public) and are technology agnostic. We provide IT managed services and hosted infrastructure delivered through unique user applications and world class experiences. The Company pursues its recurring revenue business model by currently supporting thousands of video endpoints and telepresence systems and delivering service to more than 500 different enterprises in over 35 countries around the globe. Glowpoint’s managed services enable the integration of video into any unified communications environment and the Company has become a recognized leader in the rapidly growing market for global managed video and business-to-business (“B2B”) services and solutions.
Glowpoint also provides wholesale programs and private-labeled (branded) resale options for hardware manufacturers, network operators, and system integrators seeking to offer video services as a value-added addition to their collaboration and communications offerings. Today, the Company maintains multiple strategic partnerships that are core to its global sales strategy.
A critical differentiator of Glowpoint is that our solutions are hardware agnostic (e.g., the video equipment may be manufactured by Cisco, Polycom, Life Size or Avaya) and network neutral (i.e., connectivity may be via native Internet or network provided by AT&T, Verizon, TATA Communications, British Telecom, or others), supporting all recognized video standards across any IP network. As such, regardless of the video conferencing or telepresence equipment purchased or the network connecting it, Glowpoint’s services may be applied.
Glowpoint’s core value proposition for customers includes the enablement of integration into the unified communications environment allowing wide adoption and usage of video communications, increasing return on investment and lowering total cost of ownership. Glowpoint provides an alternative to capital intensive, premise-based infrastructure, which customers typically have had to purchase for the video environment to function, as well as the tools and services to enable wide adoption of the video communications throughout their business. Glowpoint has become the recognized leader of managed video and global video exchange services that provide businesses and service providers a way to link together their “islands of video” across third party private networks and enable organizations to drive wide adoption.
Glowpoint is a respected leading managed service provider. The Company launched as an independent pure play provider in 2004, well ahead of the market, and our track record and quality-of-service has earned us various awards and credits. We have been recognized in the industry for focusing on providing an innovative customer experience through our use of IP-based video functionality and innovation. Industry awards and recognition over the last few years include: Excellence in Globalization Award (Frost and Sullivan); Top Ten Managed Service Provider (MSP mentor); Best US Managed Conferencing Services Provider (Telepresence and Videoconferencing Insight Newsletter); PACE Award for contributions to the advancement of video communications (Telespan); and Growth Company of the Year, Finalist (New Jersey Technology Council). We are also widely followed and discussed in market research by the leading industry and research analysts, such as Gartner, Forrester, Frost and Sullivan, and Wainhouse Research.
As the video conferencing, telepresence, and unified communications industries continue to mature, Glowpoint believes it has established itself as the “go-to” provider for organizations and other service providers to support their unified communication needs.
The company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Industry Overview. The video communications industry continues to transform. When Glowpoint was initially launched, video conferencing was a niche industry with unproven technology and questionable quality. We set out to capitalize on that by offering a high-quality, IP-based, reliable service. Today, video communications, especially in the form of telepresence, is becoming a more mainstream, mission critical technology. “Telepresence” provides an experience that represents what Glowpoint has been delivering since soon after its launch - high quality, easy to use video communications where the technology does not interfere with the purpose of the meeting. The most popular representation of telepresence is a specially designed room configured to support a “true to life” meeting environment. Everything from multiple monitors, special furniture, strategic camera placement and sound panels are deployed to create an immersive experience so that participants feel as though they are all sitting in the same physical room even though they may be continents apart. Entrance into the telepresence market by Cisco Systems and others, and the consolidation of some traditional video conferencing equipment manufacturers (e.g., Cisco’s acquisition of Tandberg and Logitech’s acquisition of Life Size Communications) have, we believe, validated our business plan and brought new energy and interest to the video communications industry.
Currently, we view the video communications industry segregated into four categories, each of which is a potential partner and/or customer for Glowpoint’s managed video services:
·
|
Video conferencing, Telepresence, and Unified Communications Equipment Manufacturers;
|
·
|
Network operators and Service providers;
|
·
|
Managed Service/Conferencing Services Providers; and
|
·
|
Video and Telepresence Equipment Resellers and Systems Integrators.
|
Video conferencing, Telepresence, and Unified Communications Equipment Manufacturers. Manufacturers of video conferencing and telepresence equipment focus on selling video endpoint, room, and infrastructure equipment. With the introduction of HD and telepresence, the manufacturers are recognizing that, as part of offering these more complex solutions, there is increased demand for services to not only enable adoption, but to expand the use and applications beyond internal use. Additionally, alternatives to purchasing your own infrastructure and using a cloud based hosted model are becoming increasingly popular among businesses that are interested in managing total cost of ownership and allowing the services provider to deal with interoperability and technology advancements for them. As such, the need to partner with experienced service providers like Glowpoint, who make it seamless for customers to buy and use the manufacturer’s products and address their full complement of needs. Glowpoint’s managed services and cloud based open video platform provide purchasers of this equipment these critical options.
Network operators and Service providers. Network operators and service providers play a critical role in video communications because of the need to transport video calls over high-quality IP bandwidth. With the emergence of more scalable, and sophisticated IP network capabilities for video conferencing and telepresence, the network operators are now aggressively offering services that include intelligent virtual private networks (VPNs) on which customers may support data, voice and video applications simultaneously. This is often referred to as a "converged network" or "convergence." Recently, more IP-based video communications applications and managed services have emerged as an integral part of converged network offerings. Although in its infancy, we believe that trend will continue as the demand and requirements for video communications continue to grow. Glowpoint services and hosted cloud infrastructure are accessible across any provider’s network. So, carriers can be a trusted and comprehensive provider for their video communications customers by partnering and peering with Glowpoint, offering the Glowpoint service cloud as part of their network service offerings. This strategy has the added benefit of increasing the demand for network bandwidth, thereby increasing the carrier’s network sale.
Managed Service/Conferencing Services Providers. A number of companies, including some equipment resellers, network providers and audio conferencing service providers, offer video conferencing services almost exclusively focused on multi-point conferencing (i.e., bringing multiple locations into one video call). These service providers are heavily dependent on the legacy Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) as the network transport for these multi-point conferences – we understand as much as 80-90% of their multi-point revenue is derived from ISDN. Glowpoint, on the other hand, offers both multi-point conferencing services as well as a full range of managed video services that are primarily IP-based. IP-based services offer more flexibility, higher quality and, because there are no long distance usage charges, at lower and more predictable costs.
Video and Telepresence Equipment Resellers and Systems Integrators. Video and telepresence equipment resellers and systems integrators, who typically derive nearly all their revenue from one-time equipment and integration services, are facing growing margin pressures as well as increased competition related to video conferencing equipment sales. We believe they may need to transform their business models, possibly to generate recurring revenue. To do so, these providers may attempt to either reproduce the features, experience and services provided by Glowpoint or to become a reseller or wholesale partner of Glowpoint's services themselves. While some video conferencing equipment resellers have chosen to compete with Glowpoint’s offerings, others have chosen to partner with and resell Glowpoint’s services to increase their speed to market and transform their businesses.
Market Need. The complexity of video communications is increasing, while usage of video is becoming more critical in the mix of unified communications. Many enterprises have become dependent on video communications for increased productivity while also reducing operating costs, and have made it part of their core business practices. These same enterprises have difficulty (and incur considerable cost) in effectively maintaining and managing their existing video communication deployments because of the shortage of experienced information technology and network personnel. Many enterprises also recognize that supporting video communications inside their organization distracts their core support organization from other critical business applications and requires a different skill set than normal business IT support. As a result, businesses are increasingly seeking out managed services and hosted, cloud-based infrastructure to support and power their user community and their video technologies. In fact, isolating and extending the video applications from other business applications and existing communications infrastructure has become an increasingly important capability for larger organizations. With the rapid advancements in video technologies, it has become increasingly expensive and difficult for enterprises to maintain the infrastructure required to power these technologies. We believe that many customers cannot fully support quality video communications on their existing infrastructure and network. Many businesses are reluctant to run a video application over the same network that supports their enterprise data and other applications. Among other concerns, the video communications applications would be required to share bandwidth with data applications (e.g., CRM applications, financial applications, e-mail and file transfers) on a common network. We view the network, however, as a means to access video applications and infrastructure. Therefore, we believe there is a greater market need to provide access to current and next generation infrastructure across those networks. Glowpoint’s “video in the cloud” approach allows enterprises of all sizes to connect via any network connection to power their video deployments.
The surge in deployment of Voice over IP (VoIP) is an example of a technology that had been technically feasible for years, but did not gain popularity until it was easy to use. VoIP service providers developed features and services to make VoIP simple to adopt and use. Now companies can simply “plug” their VoIP networks into the cloud for these services.
Glowpoint provides enterprises with the ability to simplify the video experience with a full suite of open video services largely unavailable from anyone else at this time. Glowpoint’s unique features and services, such as seamless and secure business-to-business video calling, a comprehensive video exchange directory of businesses, live on-demand video operator services, on demand virtual video rooms, video mailboxes, seamless video calling to off-net locations anywhere in the world and other video application services, are available to customers by simply “plugging” their video systems into the Glowpoint service cloud.
Market Size. According to many industry analysts, the video communications industry is anticipated to grow to billions of dollars annually in the coming years. Gartner Research, for example, predicts the video conferencing products and services market worldwide – which includes equipment, network and managed services – will reach $8.6 billion by 2013, with the market for services totaling approximately $3.8 billion. In that same report, the services business (where Glowpoint competes) has been growing at a 38% CAGR, while our managed services have realized in excess of 50% growth over that past two years.
Glowpoint Services and Features
Today's telepresence and video conferencing environments have become a key part of a complete unified business communications strategy. For organizations that are already using video, and for those exploring its benefits for the first time, Open Video™ is a unique platform that can help them achieve a successful video collaboration program.
Traditionally, video has presented challenges by presenting a complex maze of systems and networks that must be navigated through and closely managed - and most of the systems today are proprietary in nature, which makes them closed off to the rest of the world. Glowpoint’s managed services can be accessed and utilized by customers regardless of the technology and network they are using. Customers who purchase a Cisco, Polycom, LifeSize or any other HD video solution, for example, may all take advantage of the Glowpoint VNOC solution regardless of their choice of network. Glowpoint’s core services are offered as part of our Open Video technology platform to generate monthly recurring revenue for the Company.
Open Video is the world’s first and only environment that offers telepresence, video and unified collaboration users a way to meet and communicate across the varying hardware/software platforms and carrier networks in a secure, open fashion. Open Video combines years of best practices, experience and technology development into video collaboration platform that provides instant connectivity, self-serve and managed help desk resources, and the ease of use that makes video collaboration seamless and effortless. Beyond the technology and applications, Open Video is built around security protocols to ensure that enterprises and organizations of any size can communicate to any other desired video users in a secure, high-quality and reliable fashion.
OV Connect
Open Video enables customers to connect to the Open Video Platform for managed services, collaboration and B2B services via a myriad of access technologies. The “Open Video Cloud” has peering arrangements with MPLS carriers, Ethernet exchanges, the public Internet, and cross connects at co-location facilities. Glowpoint supports convergence of voice, data and video using the customer’s existing network connection or a dedicated private network if required.
OV Collaborate
OV Collaborate is designed to offer scalable, pre-scheduled and “ad-hoc” conferencing resources using Glowpoint’s cloud-based infrastructure or a client’s own infrastructure. OV Collaborate offers a way to connect any device to a call with dedicated conference producers available to manage video event based services as needed.
· Managed (Scheduled) Video Conferencing
· Automated (Reservation-less) Video Conferencing
· Event Management
· Web Streaming Events
OV Manage
Glowpoint is recognized as a video communications expert and industry leader in delivering high quality managed services for any video environment. We continue to be well positioned to support high-touch, fully managed environments as well as self-use support environments. Our global managed service offering includes the following:
· Room Certification, Proactive Monitoring and “Room Sweeps“
· Single Point of Contact for all video needs and user community
· Scheduling Portal, Applications, and Services
· Conference Production and Monitoring
· Help Desk Support
· Training, Stewardship Reporting and Service Reviews
· Advanced Network Monitoring
Professional Services
As with technology hosting and management services, we sought new revenue sources using our superior network and video engineering capabilities. With the growing interest in convergence and the desire by some enterprises to add the transport of video to their enterprise networks, we have provided professional services and believe the market for such services is growing. Additionally, our extensive knowledge of all leading video conferencing equipment makes our video engineers a valuable resource for manufacturers on an outsourced basis. While our primary focus is generating monthly recurring revenue from our subscription services, our professional services have been a valuable lead for video communication opportunities leading to sales of our managed video services.
Broadcast and Event Services
We have bundled certain components of our managed services to offer video communication solutions for broadcast/media content acquisition and event services. Customers have used our managed video services during events to cost-effectively acquire video content for broadcasters, cable companies and other media enterprises, especially in the sports, news and entertainment industries. While it includes our core managed video services, IP-based broadcasting and event services require more project management and dedicated operational and engineering personnel than our standard subscription services. Rather than using an expensive satellite feed, companies can acquire broadcast-quality standard definition footage at a fraction of the cost from Glowpoint over a dedicated IP connection. Since 2002, we have provided this service to ESPN during the professional football and basketball drafts. ESPN has used our service for interviews from team locations with coaches, players and analysts during their coverage. In 2007, we launched a High Definition (HD) content acquisition solution that we branded TeamCamHD and RemoteCamHD. This offering provides two-way HD video communication for content acquisition from remote locations. Glowpoint now provides a full suite of HD solutions for the broadcast, entertainment and media industry and is considered a high-quality alternative to the traditional means of acquiring content in many applications, including interviews and even full motion video.
Wholesale Private Labeling; Technology Hosting and Management Services
All of Glowpoint’s unique features and services have been designed so that the entire suite can be “private labeled” by other service providers or companies who want to integrate video communications into their existing products quickly and cost effectively. Glowpoint will provide all of the video infrastructure and support, including customer portals and billing applications, as a private label service for a third party. This means that our services are branded with the other company’s name, logo and other information, our live operators answer calls using the other company’s name, and the other company’s end user customers view the service as provided by that other company even though it is actually “powered by Glowpoint.” Glowpoint has been involved in a number of private label opportunities, branding various services for multiple strategic global partners. For example, Polycom, a leading video conferencing equipment manufacturer, has branded Glowpoint’s services as their own Polycom managed video services for sale by Polycom salespeople. Global network provider TATA Communications private labels Glowpoint managed services to support their global Cisco Telepresence clients. And AVI/SPL, one of the largest audio/visual integrators in the world, has also branded Glowpoint’s managed video services as their own. Many other strategic global companies in the unified communications industry have recognized Glowpoint’s value to their own sales and marketing efforts.
Intellectual Property
At the core of Glowpoint’s service offerings is our unique and differentiating intellectual property. Glowpoint has heavily invested in R&D, engineering, and application development in the process of building and perfecting our managed service and cloud platforms. Some of this development has led to awarded patents and a number of patent applications, as described below, along with ongoing recognition in the industry and enterprise communities as having the most unique tools and applications to enable their video applications. We believe any competition faces significant barriers to building and providing such services, making our intellectual property a key differentiator in the competitive landscape.
Cloud Architecture
Glowpoint's Video Cloud is based on a Service Oriented Architecture (“SOA”) that enables us to quickly create unique and differentiated unified communication services by integrating best of breed technology available in the market. The SOA architecture is a foundation framework that abstracts the physical layer from the service application to enable the virtualization of resources to leverage cost efficient hardware and deliver innovative services to customers. This allows Glowpoint to enable the consumption of services using purpose built mobile applications, web, and traditional methods. Glowpoint's video cloud services can be delivered as a software and infrastructure service in a pure hosted environment or can support a hybrid with a mix of public and private cloud. Our SOA architecture implementation provides our customers and partners the freedom to choose exactly how they consume our services.
Applications and Development
Built on top of our core cloud SOA architecture, Glowpoint has a portfolio of proven applications that provide customers and partners access to services with business logic that represents years of industry experience. These include conference scheduling, customer care, B2B directory, and even billing. Our internal applications also rely on this infrastructure to provide services that are positioned to scale well into the future. Glowpoint has built our open video cloud to be technically simple to access from anywhere on the globe and to support (Session Initiated Protocol) SIP, H.323 and ISDN technologies using infrastructure from ACME Packet, Polycom, Cisco, Radvision, etc. – and service peering with content delivery (such as Akamai) and network peering partners (such as Equinix). Glowpoint has developed integration to Microsoft Exchange and IBM Same time to enable the use of native scheduling and a number of upcoming releases for mobile applications developed from Apple IOS and Android support the ability for “click to call.”
Diverse and unmatched expertise
On top of our cloud architecture and robust application suite sits a group of dedicated and experienced video service professionals. Our people are experts in providing world class production, management, remediation and professional services. And by using the same tools and applications available directly to our customers, they represent a simple solution often referred to as the “easy button” for customers.
Patents and Patents-Pending
The development of our “video as a service” applications and network architecture have resulted in a significant amount of intellectual property – from real-time metering and billing for video calls to intelligent call routing. In 2007, we received our first patent; in 2009, we were awarded a second patent. A number of other applications have been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and are in various stages of the patent process, which include some rejections to which we have responded in due course. We have also abandoned certain patent applications, determining that the likelihood of an award and the cost to obtain it versus the value of the potential award did not justify proceeding any further. While there can be no assurance that a patent will be awarded, we believe that our patented and patent-pending proprietary technology provides an important barrier for competitive offerings of similar video communications services. We are unique and, given our proprietary technology, believe we are especially well positioned to partner with telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, resellers and other companies focused on integrating innovative and high-quality video solutions into their product mix.
As mentioned above, we were awarded U.S. Patent No. 7,200,213 in April 2007 for our live video operator assistance feature and awarded U.S. Patent No. 7,664,098 in February 2010 for our real-time metering and billing for IP-based calls. Our patented “Live Operator” technology provides customers the ability to obtain live, face-to-face assistance and has widespread application, from general video call assistance to “video concierge” services. This patent is an essential component of providing “expert on demand” and telepresence “white glove” (our VNOC) services. Our “Call Detail Records” (CDR) patent for IP-based calls provides the ability to meter and bill an end-user on a transactional basis, just as traditional telephone calls are billed. This unique capability is a vital development as more and more telepresence and video conferencing calling traffic is distributed over disparate IP-based networks – rather than ISDN – as B2B calling is becoming much more common for video users. In addition, U.S. Patent No. 7,916,717 will issue on March 29, 2011 for our Systems and Method for Automated Routing of Incoming and Outgoing Video Calls between IP and ISDN networks. This technology ensures the simple and seamless migration from ISDN to IP for the purpose of connecting IP users with ISDN systems around the world. This automated call routing capability has been leveraged to provide a least cost routing and gateway method to customers, routing the call to the most inexpensive gateway exit point off the Glowpoint network before entering the PSTN/ISDN network. We believe these patents help solidify our position as the leader in developing solutions that make video communications a critical business application for our customers and help drive wider adoption and acceptance.
We also have substantial intellectual property with regard to two-way video communications. Due to resource prioritization matters, we have initially only pursued those patent applications we believe are the most strategic and have limited them to the United States. The following is a brief description of our pending patents and their role in our managed video service offering:
·
|
Video Call Director - When you place a voice telephone call, you expect some resolution of it – a completed call, a busy signal, or a message that you dialed the wrong number. In the IP-video world, we do not believe that this functionality existed before Glowpoint. Customers placing IP video calls would receive cryptic error codes or invalid network error messages. We developed the Video Call Director technology to intelligently redirect calls based on various conditions. The technology is deployed as “Lisa”, our video call assistant. Now, when a subscribed customer places a video call that does not connect, he is greeted with an interactive video message from “Lisa” explaining some reasons and offering him the option of reaching a live video operator for assistance. The ability to intelligently route video calls based on various conditions lends itself to numerous other capabilities and services, including video mailbox, follow-me video numbers, and video call transfers and forwarding.

Method and Process for the Glowpoint Video Call Distributor – Our video call distributor technology permits businesses to route real-time, two-way video calls over an IP network using a call management system (e.g., a traditional PBX-based automatic call distribution system) that may serve multiple possible endpoints (for example, a call center environment). This video call distributor integrates the features and services of traditional voice call distribution systems with video calls. It is built on previously patented Glowpoint technology as well as new technology developed specifically for this solution, which is marketed as Glowpoint’s Customer Connect offering. We believe this patent-pending technology is a critical component of skills-based video call centers, where video calls can be routed to the appropriate person based on predetermined skill sets or criteria. For example, in a video banking application, this patent-pending technology has been used to route video calls to English and Spanish speaking video bankers depending on a selection made at the remote branch location.

·
|
Video Communications Control System/Parental Control – In late 2005, Glowpoint introduced IVE (Instant Video Everywhere), a software-based video service that works with a simple web camera over the Internet. During development and market research, it became apparent that the early adopters of consumer based two-way video communications would be teenagers and young adults. Given that demographic and the proliferation of tools to help parents control what websites are visited by their children, we felt that parental control of two-way video communications was a logical requirement as video communications became more mainstream. This patent-pending technology leverages existing parental control codes and guidelines to restrict video calls from being placed or received from blocked callers. It also permits parents to establish a “friends and family” directory of allowable video numbers that can be called.

Sales and Marketing
We market and sell our services to a broad range of businesses in many industries through both direct and indirect sales channels. Our strategic relationships with video conferencing equipment manufacturers, unified communication providers, global integration service providers, equipment resellers, and network operators have expanded our indirect sales channels. The global demand for visual communications has also increased our opportunities for regional partnerships in the world, including in the emerging markets of Asia/Pacific, Middle East, and Central/Latin Americas. Many of the complex solutions sought in today’s market, especially telepresence and unified communications solutions, have created new and unique opportunities for the sale of Glowpoint services. We continue to diversify our lead generation and sales efforts by integrating these indirect sales channels with aggressive internal lead generation programs and vertical industry focused marketing and promotional efforts. Regardless of the sales or distribution channel, our goal is to provide world-class service, sales and collateral materials, training, and management tools to reduce barriers to buying, and increase our return on sales, marketing and promotional investments.
Historically, one of our main sales challenges was that visual communications was not generally perceived as a critical application for most companies. Technology developments in the visual communications industry, improvements in network offerings, and changes in human behavior, driven by such global conditions as the recent economic downturn, security and health concerns, have positioned visual communications to play a mission critical role in business practices. These changes, we believe, will result in increased demand for hosted and managed video services. Recognizing this, Glowpoint has and will continue to adapt its service offerings and strategic relationships to address the unique needs of our customers, especially for telepresence and unified communications.
Purchasers of telepresence rooms and today’s other complex video products demand that the technology is reliable and functions properly in order to maximize their investment, while increasingly seeking B2B collaboration capabilities. Glowpoint markets and sells its OV Managed services and TEN directly to enterprise customers and to equipment manufacturers and integrators, who purchase our OV Managed services on a wholesale basis. We will continue to invest in sales and marketing to support our direct and indirect business models.
We continue to market and sell to new markets and markets that we’ve created, where video communications can play a critical role in business practices. An example of a market we created for our services is the broadcast/media sector, where we recognized a match between the need for cost effective content acquisition and the capability of video communications technology and managed services. To support this market opportunity, we introduced a highly managed service that is used to acquire video content for broadcasters, cable companies and other media enterprises, especially in the sports, news and entertainment industries. Rather than utilizing an expensive satellite feed, companies can acquire broadcast-quality standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) content over a managed IP network connection at a fraction of the cost. The initial SD use of Glowpoint in the broadcast sector was in 2002, when we provided this service to ESPN during the professional football and basketball drafts. ESPN has used it for interviews from team locations with coaches, players and analysts during their coverage of the drafts every year since 2002. In 2007, we launched a High Definition (HD) content acquisition solution that we branded TeamCamHD and RemoteCamHD, which has been used to acquire HD content that is then distributed to key media outlets. In early 2010, we announced the availability of our professional event services for the broadcast industry in HD as well.
Glowpoint continues to focus on its indirect sales channel to foster greater growth, which has resulted in the indirect sales channel contributing the highest amount of new sales on average in 2010. Approximately 70% of new sales were realized through these channels in 2010, which include the “white label” branding of services. We will continue to focus sales and marketing efforts on these relationships so that they become a significant and consistent contributor to our growth going forward.
Customers
We have a stable, growing customer base of more than 500 customers ranging from Fortune 100 companies and federal, state, and municipal governmental entities to businesses and service professionals (e.g., accountants and lawyers) and non-profit organizations. Our top ten market segments at the end of 2010, listed in order of approximate contribution to revenue, were: consulting, 13%; broadcast/media, 11%; banking and finance, 9%; engineering and construction, 8%; manufacturing, 7%; governmental entities (local, state and federal), 6%; legal and law enforcement, 6%. One major customer represents approximately 19.5% of our revenue.
Employees
As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 109 full-time employees. Of these employees, 14 are involved in network and service engineering and development, 61 in customer service and operations, 17 in sales and marketing, and 17 in corporate functions. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe that our employee relations are good.
Competition
For the sale of our managed services, we mainly compete against select telecommunications carriers and video conferencing equipment resellers and integrators. These carrier competitors, which include British Telecom (BT)/BT Conferencing, AT&T, Verizon and Global Crossing, mainly compete on the basis of offering network and a converged solution of data, voice and video. Other competitors have evolved from the audio/visual integration industry or video conferencing equipment resale industry, including York Telecom, Iformata Communications and BCS Global. Glowpoint differentiates itself based on its full suite of superior video managed services and cloud based hosted infrastructure, combined with a primary focus on video and resulting superior expertise, flexibility, and responsiveness to customer demands. These services are unique based on our intellectual property, user interfaces, quality, and capabilities that Glowpoint has built over the years. Glowpoint has partnered with a number of would-be competitors with the intent of selling our managed video services to be delivered over their networks or as a complement to their offerings. Glowpoint-enabling a third party network is one way Glowpoint may reduce the threat of competition. We do not believe that the competitive offerings currently available in the market offer the full range and scope of the managed services that Glowpoint offers.

Glowpoint’s business faces numerous risks, including those set forth below or those described elsewhere in this Form 10-K Annual Report or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks described below are not the only risks that we face, nor are they necessarily listed in order of significance. Other risks and uncertainties may also affect our business. Any of these risks may have a material adverse effect on Glowpoint’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Risks Relating To Our Securities
We may need future capital for working capital or to fund our capital improvements and product development. If we are able to raise additional capital, it may dilute our existing stockholders, if not, it may restrict our ability to operate our business.
Our capital requirements continue to be significant and depend, and will continue to depend, on numerous factors, including the timing of revenues, the expense involved in development of our systems and products, realizing cost reductions on our technology, capital improvements and the cost involved in protecting our proprietary rights. To date, we have funded those requirements from private placements, most recently in March and September 2010 (the “2010 Private Placements” as discussed in Note 17) and March and August 2009 (the “2009 Private Placements” as discussed in Note 16). If additional working capital is required, it may not be sufficient to fund our future operations and may dilute our existing stockholders or restrict our ability to run our business.
We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3,597,000, of which $934,000 was related to a non-cash loss on redemption of preferred stock incurred in connection with the 2010 Private Placements, and we had a negative cash flow from operations of $1,444,000. At December 31, 2010, we had $2,035,000 of cash, negative working capital of $526,000 and an accumulated deficit of $165,068,000. Based on the Company’s October 2010 cost reduction plan, the 2010 Private Placements, our new Revolving Loan Facility, the elimination of dividends until January 2013, along with our cash flow projection, the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient cash flow to fund its operations through at least March 31, 2012. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital as may be needed or upon acceptable terms, nor that current economic conditions will not negatively impact us. If the current economic conditions negatively impact us and we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders may not be confident in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the price of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed.
We may be required to issue more shares of common stock upon adjustment of the conversion price of our outstanding preferred stock or the exercise price of our outstanding warrants, resulting in dilution of our existing stockholders.
The conversion or exercise of any of our outstanding A-2 Preferred Stock, options and warrants will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. If we sell common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share that is below the then-applicable conversion price of our outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Stock and/or below the then-applicable exercise price of certain of our outstanding warrants, then the conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, of such securities may adjust downward and, as a result, the amount of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such securities would increase. In this event, we may be required to issue more shares of common stock than previously anticipated which would result in further dilution of our existing stockholders.
Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could reduce the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us and our stockholders to sell our equity securities in the future.
Under the terms of prior financings, including the Private Placements, a substantial number of shares of our common stock are to or were to be registered for resale. Resale of a significant number of these shares into the public market, once registered, could depress the trading price of our common stock and make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell equity securities in the future. In addition, to the extent other restricted shares become freely available for sale, whether through an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or if we issue additional shares that might be or become freely available for sale, our stock price could decrease.
Although the sale of these additional shares to the public might increase the liquidity of our stockholders’ investments, the increase in the number of shares available for public sale could drive the price of our common stock down, thus reducing the value of your investment and perhaps hindering our ability to raise additional funds in the future.
We do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock.
We have not declared and paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not intend to declare and pay any dividends on our common stock. Earnings, if any, will likely be re-invested in our business.
Future operating results may vary from quarter to quarter, and we may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors at any given time.
It is possible that in one or more future quarters our operating results will fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. If this happens, the trading price of our common stock may decline.
Our common stock is thinly traded and subject to volatile price fluctuations.
Our common stock is thinly traded, and it is therefore susceptible to wide price swings. Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “GLOW.OB.” Thinly traded stocks are more susceptible to significant and sudden price changes than stocks that are widely followed by the investment community and actively traded on an exchange or NASDAQ. The liquidity of our common stock depends upon the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers. We cannot assure you that you will be able to find a buyer for your shares. In the future, if we successfully list the common stock on a securities exchange or obtain NASDAQ, or other national securities exchange, trading authorization, we will not be able to assure you that an organized public market for our securities will develop or that there will be any private demand for the common stock. We could also subsequently fail to satisfy the standards for continued exchange listing or NASDAQ or other national securities exchange trading, such as standards having to do with a minimum share price, the minimum number of public shareholders or the aggregate market value of publicly held shares. Any holder of our securities should regard them as a long-term investment and should be prepared to bear the economic risk of an investment in our securities for an indefinite period.
We may be subject to litigation resulting from common stock volatility and other factors, which may result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources and could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.
The stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Many factors caused, and may in the future cause, the market price for our common stock to decline, perhaps substantially, including (without limitation) demand for our common stock, technological innovations or products by competitors or in competing technologies, investor perception of our industry or our prospects, or general technological or economic trends. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. As a result, we may be involved in securities class action litigation in the future. Such litigation often results in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources and could have a negative effect on our business and results of operation.
Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on the marketability of our securities.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock is presently subject to these regulations which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a “penny stock”, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the “penny stock” market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the “penny stock” held in the account and information on the limited market in “penny stocks.” Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may negatively affect the ability of purchasers of our shares of common stock to sell such securities.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our history of substantial net losses may continue indefinitely and may make it difficult to fund our operations.
Glowpoint was formed by the merger of All Communications Corporation and View Tech, Inc. in May 2000. We reported a substantial loss from operations in all years since 2000. We cannot assure you that we will achieve revenue growth or profitability or generate positive cash flow on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If we do not become profitable in the future, the value of our common stock may be adversely impacted and we could have difficulty obtaining funds to continue our operations.
Our success is highly dependent on the evolution of our overall market and on general economic conditions.
The market for video communication services is evolving rapidly. Although certain industry analysts project significant growth for this market, their projections may not be realized. Our future growth depends on acceptance and adoption of video communications. There can be no assurance that the market for our services will grow, that our services will be adopted, that customers will desire higher quality, or that businesses will purchase our suite of managed video services. If we are unable to react quickly to changes in the market, if the market fails to develop, or develops more slowly than expected, or if our services do not achieve market acceptance, then we are unlikely to become or remain profitable. Additionally, current economic conditions may cause a decline in business and consumer spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
We are exposed to the credit and other counterparty risk of our customers in the ordinary course of our business.
Our customers have varying degrees of creditworthiness. Although we evaluate the creditworthiness of each of our customers, we may not always be able to fully anticipate or detect deterioration in their creditworthiness and overall financial condition, which could expose us to an increased risk of nonpayment under our contracts with them. In the event that a material customer or customers default on their payment obligations to us, discontinue buying services from us or use their buying power with us to lower our revenue, this could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our future plans could be adversely affected if we are unable to attract or retain key personnel.
We have attracted a highly skilled management team and specialized workforce. Our future success is dependent in part on attracting and retaining qualified management and technical personnel. Our inability to hire qualified personnel on a timely basis, or the departure of key employees, could materially and adversely affect our business development and therefore, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
We may have difficulty managing our growth.
If we successfully increase our sales substantially, we expect to hire more employees and expand our operations. This growth may place a strain on our management, our operations and our systems. Our ability to manage this growth will depend upon our ability to broaden our management team and our ability to attract, hire and retain skilled employees. Our success will also depend on the ability of our officers and key employees to continue to implement and improve our operational, financial and other systems, to manage multiple customer relationships concurrently, and to hire, train and manage our employees. Our future success is dependent upon growth. If we cannot scale our business appropriately or otherwise adapt to this growth, a key part of our strategy may not be successful.
If our actual liability for sales and use taxes and regulatory fees is different from our accrued liability, it could have a material impact on our financial condition.
Sales and use taxes and regulatory fees are supposed to be, or are routinely, collected from customers and remitted to the applicable authorities in certain circumstances. Historically, we were not properly collecting and remitting all such taxes and regulatory fees and, as a result, we have accrued a liability. All of our tax positions are subject to audit. While we believe all of our estimates and assumptions are reasonable and will be sustained upon audit, actual liabilities and credits may differ. If so, it may impact our financial condition, negatively if we underestimated our liability or positively if we overestimated our liability.
Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business.
Our future success and competitive position depends in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain certain proprietary intellectual property to be used in connection with our services. This may be achieved in part by prosecuting claims against others who we believe are infringing on our rights and by defending claims of intellectual property infringement by our competitors. While we are not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation, we could become subject to lawsuits in which it is alleged that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others or we could commence lawsuits against others who we believe are infringing upon our rights. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affecting the development of sales of the challenged product or intellectual property and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor.
In the event of an adverse outcome as a defendant in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to: pay substantial damages; cease the development, use or sale of services that infringe upon other patented intellectual property; expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property; discontinue the use or incorporation of infringing technology; or obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property. We cannot ensure that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such licenses would be available upon reasonable terms. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources and could have a negative effect on our business and financial results.
An adverse outcome as plaintiff, in addition to the costs involved, may, among other things, result in the loss of the intellectual property (such as a patent) that was the subject of the lawsuit by a determination of invalidity or unenforceability, significantly increase competition as a result of such determination, and require the payment of penalties resulting from counterclaims by the defendant.
We may not be able to protect the rights to our intellectual property.
Failure to protect our existing intellectual property rights may result in the loss of our exclusivity or the right to use our technologies. If we do not adequately ensure our freedom to use certain technology, we may have to pay others for rights to use their intellectual property, pay damages for infringement or misappropriation and/or be enjoined from using such intellectual property. We rely on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect our intellectual property. Some of our intellectual property is not covered by any patent or patent application. As we further develop our services and related intellectual property, we expect to seek additional patent protection. Our patent position is subject to complex factual and legal issues that may give rise to uncertainty as to the validity, scope and enforceability of a particular patent. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that: any of the patents owned by us or other patents that other parties license to us in the future will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, rendered unenforceable or licensed to others; any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued with the breadth of claim coverage sought by us, if issued at all; or any patents owned by or licensed to us, although valid, will not be dominated by a patent or patents to others having broader claims. Additionally, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain foreign countries.
We also seek to protect our proprietary intellectual property, including intellectual property that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements. We cannot ensure that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships.
We depend upon our network providers and facilities infrastructure.
Our success depends upon our ability to implement, expand and adapt our national network infrastructure and support services to accommodate an increasing amount of video traffic and evolving customer requirements at an acceptable cost. This has required and will continue to require that we enter into agreements with providers of infrastructure capacity, equipment, facilities and support services on an ongoing basis. We cannot ensure that any of these agreements can be obtained on satisfactory terms and conditions. We also anticipate that future expansions and adaptations of our network infrastructure facilities may be necessary in order to respond to growth in the number of customers served.
We depend upon suppliers and have limited sources of supply for some services.
We rely on other companies to supply some components of our network infrastructure and the means to access our network. Some of the products and services that we resell and certain components that we require for our network are available only from limited sources. We could be adversely affected if such sources were to become unavailable to us on commercially reasonable terms. We cannot assure you that, on an ongoing basis, we will be able to obtain third-party services cost-effectively and on the scale and within the timeframes we require, or at all. Failure to obtain or to continue to make use of such third-party services would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our network could fail, which could negatively impact our revenues.
To an extent, our success depends upon our ability to deliver reliable, high-speed access to our partners’ data centers and upon the ability and willingness of our telecommunications providers to deliver reliable, high-speed telecommunications service through their networks. Our network and facilities, and other networks and facilities providing services to us, are vulnerable to damage, unauthorized access, or cessation of operations from human error and tampering, breaches of security, fires, earthquakes, severe storms, power losses, telecommunications failures, software defects, intentional acts of vandalism including computer viruses, and similar events, particularly if the events occur within a high traffic location of the network or at one of our data centers. The occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems at the network operations center, key sites at which we locate routers, switches and other computer equipment that make up the backbone of our service offering and hosted infrastructure, or at one or more of our partners’ data centers, could substantially and adversely impact our business. We cannot ensure that we will not experience failures or shutdowns relating to individual facilities or even catastrophic failure of the entire network, service offering or hosted infrastructure. Any damage to or failure of our systems or service providers could result in reductions in, or terminations of, services supplied to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our network depends upon telecommunications carriers who could limit or deny us access to their network or fail to perform, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
We rely upon the ability and willingness of certain telecommunications carriers and other corporations to provide us with reliable high-speed telecommunications service through their networks. If these telecommunications carriers and other corporations decide not to continue to provide service to us through their networks on substantially the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, price, early termination liability, and installation interval), if at all, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and ability to even provide service. Additionally, many of our service level objectives are dependent upon satisfactory performance by our telecommunications carriers. If they fail to so perform, it may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We compete in a highly competitive market and many of our competitors have greater financial resources and established relationships with major corporate customers.
The video communications industry is highly competitive. A number of telecommunications carriers and other corporations, including AT&T, Verizon, British Telecom/BT Conferencing, Global Crossing, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard, have entered into the video communications industry. Many of these organizations have substantially greater financial and other resources than us, furnish some of the same services provided by us, and have established relationships with major corporate customers that have policies of purchasing directly from them. We believe that as the demand for video communications systems continues to increase, additional competitors, many of which may have greater resources than us, will continue to enter the video communications market.
There is limited market awareness of our Glowpoint managed video services.
Our Glowpoint video communications offering was introduced in December 2000 and was only a small part of our operations until the sale of our video equipment resale business in September 2003. Our future success will be dependent in significant part on our ability to generate demand for our Glowpoint managed video services and professional services. To this end, our direct marketing and indirect sales operations must increase market awareness of our service offering to generate increased revenue. Our products and services require a sophisticated sales effort targeted at the senior management of our prospective customers. All new hires will require training and will take time to achieve full productivity. We cannot be certain that our new hires will become as productive as necessary or that we will be able to hire enough qualified individuals or retain existing employees in the future. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in our efforts to market and sell our products and services, and if we are not successful in building market awareness and generating increased sales, future results of operations will be adversely affected.
As we expand our Glowpoint managed services, any system failures or interruptions may cause loss of customers.
Our success depends, in part, on the seamless, uninterrupted operation of our Glowpoint managed service offering. As we continue to expand these services, and as the complexity and volume continue to increase, we will face increasing demands and challenges in managing them. Any prolonged failure of these services or other systems or hardware that cause significant interruptions to our operations could seriously damage our reputation and result in customer attrition and financial loss.
We may be unable to adequately respond to rapid changes in technology.
The market for our Glowpoint managed video services and related services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent product introductions. The introduction of products and services embodying new technology and the emergence of new industry standards may render our existing managed video services obsolete and unmarketable if we are unable to adapt to change. A significant factor in our ability to grow and to remain competitive is our ability to successfully introduce new products and services that embody new technology, anticipate and incorporate evolving industry standards and achieve levels of functionality and price acceptable to the market. If our managed video services are unable to meet expectations or unable to keep pace with technological changes in the video communication industry, our managed video services could eventually become obsolete. We may be unable to allocate the funds necessary to upgrade our managed video services as improvements in video communication technologies are introduced. In the event that other companies develop more advanced service offerings, our competitive position relative to such companies would be harmed.
We incur significant accounting and other control costs that impact our financial condition.
As a publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if controls thought to be effective later fail, we may be forced to make additional expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Some of our competitors are privately owned so their accounting and control costs can be a competitive disadvantage for us. Should our sales decline or if we are unsuccessful at increasing prices to cover higher expenditures for internal controls and audits, our costs associated with regulatory compliance will rise as a percentage of sales.
We rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of any one of those customers, or several of our smaller customers, could materially harm our business.
A significant portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of customers. For the year ended December 31, 2010, one major customer represented approximately 19.5% of our revenue. Although the composition of our significant customers will vary from period to period, we expect that most of our revenue will continue, for the foreseeable future, to come from a relatively small number of customers. Consequently, our financial results may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period based on the actions of one or more significant customers. A customer may take actions that affect us for reasons that we cannot anticipate or control, such as reasons related to the customer's financial condition, changes in the customer's business strategy or operations, the introduction of alternative competing products, or as the result of the perceived quality or cost-effectiveness of our products. Our agreements with these customers may be cancelled if we materially breach the agreement or for other reasons outside of our control. In addition, our customers may seek to renegotiate the terms of current agreements or renewals. The loss of or a reduction in sales or anticipated sales to our most significant or several of our smaller customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our failure to properly manage the distribution of our services could result in a loss of revenues.
We currently sell our services both directly to customers and through channel partners. Successfully managing the interaction of our direct and indirect sales channels to reach various potential customers for our services is a complex process. In addition, our reliance upon indirect selling methods may reduce visibility of demand and pricing issues. Each sales channel has distinct risks and costs, and therefore, our failure to implement the most advantageous balance in the sales model for our services could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
Our headquarters are located at 430 Mountain Avenue, Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974. These premises consist of approximately 22,000 square feet of leased office space. Our lease currently expires on January 31, 2014. The base rent for the premises is currently approximately $344,000 per annum. In addition, we are obligated to pay our share of the landlord’s operating expenses (that is, those expenses incurred by the landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, management, maintenance and repair of the premises, including, among other things, the cost of common-area electricity, operational services and real estate taxes). The Murray Hill premises house our corporate functions and our network operations center. In addition to our headquarters, we lease technical facilities (i) in Ventura, California that houses our Bridging Services group, help desk and technical personnel in approximately 3,500 square feet, the base rent of which is approximately $58,000 per annum, and (ii) in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania that houses our Dedicated Support Services Group in approximately 3,600 square feet, the base rent of which is approximately $88,000 per annum. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate for our business needs and growth prospects.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
|
Glowpoint’s securities are traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “GLOW.OB.” In the future, if we satisfy the listing criteria, we may apply for listing on a national exchange, though there is no assurance that we will be accepted for listing and, if accepted for listing, an active market for our securities will develop in the future.
On January 10, 2011, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"), effecting a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of one-for-four. The reverse stock split was effective on January 14, 2011. The Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment on June 17, 2010, and the Company's Board of Directors authorized the implementation of the reverse stock split on December 17, 2010.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every four shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock. Any fractional shares that resulted from the reverse stock split were paid in cash to the stockholder. The reverse stock split reduced the number of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from 85,414,000 to approximately 21,354,000, on the date of effectiveness of such split.
The share amounts of common and treasury stock, warrants and options shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, at a ratio of one-for-four. The exercise price for all options and warrants and the conversion price for preferred stock in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split by multiplying the original exercise or conversion price by four.
The following table sets forth high and low closing sale prices per share for our common stock for each quarter of 2009 and 2010, based upon information obtained from the OTCBB. All reported sales prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Dividends
Our board of directors has never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and does not expect to do so for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. Our board of directors will make any future determination of the payment of dividends based upon conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements, as well as such economic and other conditions as our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the payment of dividends may be limited by financing arrangements which we may enter into in the future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the notes attached hereto. All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding anticipated future capital requirements, our future development plans, our ability to obtain debt, equity or other financing, and our ability to generate cash from operations, are based on current expectations. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future. The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Overview
Glowpoint, Inc. ("Glowpoint" or "we" or "us" or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a leading provider of cloud-based managed video services for the global business community. We are the only “pure play” service provider in the video space. Our hosted services are securely accessible via any network (private or public) and are technology agnostic IT managed services and hosted infrastructure delivered with world class user applications and experiences. The Company pursues its recurring revenue business model by currently supporting thousands of video endpoints and telepresence systems and delivering service to more than 500 different enterprises in over 35 countries around the globe. Glowpoint’s managed services enable the integration of video into any unified communications environment and the company has become a recognized leader in the rapidly growing market for global managed video and business-to-business (B2B) services and solutions.
Glowpoint also provides wholesale programs and private-labeled (branded) resale options for hardware manufacturers, network operators, and system integrators seeking to offer video services as a value-added addition to their collaboration and communications offerings. Today, the Company maintains multiple strategic partnerships that are core to its global sales strategy.
Glowpoint’s services, which are accessible globally, enable two-way interactive video communications through our “in the cloud” service support and hosted infrastructure. Glowpoint’s service cloud is fully equipped with multi-tenant infrastructure, technology platforms, and applications, much of which is proprietary. Customers simply plug into the Glowpoint service cloud to gain access to video infrastructure, systems, applications, and unmatched video expertise. In this regard, our services are analogous to the “software as a service” industry or other cloud-based services.
Glowpoint’s core service offerings are designed to enable integration of video into enterprise Unified Communications environments by delivery through Glowpoint’s Open Video™ cloud-based, shared infrastructure model, which offers conferencing scalability and security for large enterprises and small and medium sized businesses around the world. Open Video is the world’s first and only environment that offers telepresence, video and unified collaboration users a way to meet and communicate across various hardware/software platforms and carrier networks in a secure, open fashion – removing all barriers to video collaboration and communications. Open Video includes three service categories:
·
|
OV Connect - enables customers to connect to other video users through peering arrangements with MPLS carriers, Ethernet exchanges, the public Internet, and cross connects at co-location facilities. Glowpoint supports the convergence of voice, data and video using the customer’s existing network connection or a dedicated private network if required.
|
● |
OV Collaborate - offers comprehensive conferencing services, including scalable, pre-scheduled and "ad-hoc" confer-encing resources, using hosted infrastructure in the cloud or a client's infrastructure. In addition to connecting virtually any device to a call, our conference producers can manage, record, and stream video events to the Internet.
|
·
|
OV Manage - includes the video operations (VNOC) management system that provides a complete solution for end-to-end management of immersive and non-immersive telepresence rooms. OV Manage offers flexible options, including a complete cloud-based infrastructure that offers customers the opportunity to purchase only the endpoints themselves, as well as packages that cater to customers who elect to purchase their own video infrastructure.
|
Other services provided by Glowpoint include:
·
|
Professional Services - provides a complement to our core managed service offerings and may be applied toward a branding program or even a video deployment evaluation by an enterprise. Today, Glowpoint has branded its video services for Polycom, the world’s leading video equipment manufacturer, for AVI-SPL, one of the largest integrators in the world, for TATA Communications, a global telecommunications carrier, and for a host of others who offer Glowpoint’s managed services to their client base.
|
·
|
Broadcast Solutions - provides IP-based broadcast solutions for leading sports broadcasters, sports leagues, news outlets, cable stations, and collegiate conferences. Glowpoint's "always-on," managed service and exclusive video-network exchange service reduces transport costs and program operations by up to 80 percent as compared to traditional satellite feeds and associated operations. Glowpoint enables ultra-clean HD- and SD-interactive broadcasts, provides real-time communications and two-up capability for live-to-air and live-to-web broadcasts, all delivered through proactively maintained flexible solutions.
|
After a strategic review we determined that our Integrated Services Digital Network (“ISDN”) resale services no longer fit into our strategic plan. In September 2010, we entered into an agreement with an independent telecommunications service provider to transfer our customers receiving this service to them, and prospectively we will receive a 15% recurring referral fee for those revenues. The transfer will be completed in the second quarter of 2011 (see Note 8).
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements attached hereto. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize subscription revenue when the related services have been performed. Revenue billed in advance is deferred until the revenue has been earned. Other service revenue, including amounts related to surcharges charged by our carriers, related to the Glowpoint managed network service and the multi-point video and audio conferencing services are recognized as service is provided. As the non-refundable, upfront activation fees charged to the subscribers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, they are deferred and recognized over the 12 to 24 month period estimated life of the customer relationship. Revenue related to integration services is recognized at the time the services are performed, and presented as required by ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure accounts receivable.
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable as required by ASC topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No impairment losses were recorded through December 31, 2010.
Capitalized Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. All software development costs have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC Topic 350.40 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software.” Capitalized software costs are included in “Property and Equipment” on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over three to four years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred.
Reverse Stock Split – Reclassifications
On January 10, 2011, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"), effecting a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of one-for-four. The reverse stock split was effective on January 14, 2011. The Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment on June 17, 2010, and the Company's Board of Directors authorized the implementation of the reverse stock split on December 17, 2010.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every four shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were paid in cash to the stockholder. The reverse stock split reduced the number of the Company's shares of common stock as shown in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The share amounts of common and treasury stock, warrants and options shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, at a ratio of one-for-four for all periods presented. The exercise price for all options and warrants and the conversion price for preferred stock in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split by multiplying the original exercise or conversion price by four.
Results of Operations
Revenue - Revenue increased $2,295,000, or 9.1%, in the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Year”) to $27,550,000 from $25,255,000 in the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Year”). The following are the changes in the components of our revenue:
·
|
Managed services combined, which represents subscription OV Managed video services generally tied to contracts of 12 months or more and OV Collaborate usage based bridging services, which enables customers to have video meetings with multiple locations on the screen at one time, are 38.0% of total current revenue and increased 41% in the 2010 Year.
|
·
|
OV Connect, which represents network sales and related services generally tied to contracts of 12 months or more, and other services, which represent non-recurring services (e.g., the professional football draft event) or professional services to develop custom solutions, accounts for 62.0% of total current revenue.

Network and Infrastructure – Network and infrastructure expenses increased by 3.5% in the 2010 Year. Network and infrastructure expenses include all external costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, related to the Glowpoint network and hosting facilities for our cloud-based infrastructure. The network is for high-quality, two-way video transport built and managed by Glowpoint exclusively and dedicated to IP-based video communications globally. This operating expense category also includes the cost for taxes which have been billed to customers.
Although the expenses for network and infrastructure increased this period as a result of costs incurred in consolidating our network, we continue to re-engineer our network and infrastructure for increased optimization and efficiency. We expect these efforts will reduce these expenses as a percentage of total revenues over time.
Global Managed Services – Global managed services expenses increased 10.0% in the 2010 Year. Global managed services expenses include all costs for delivering and servicing our managed services, such as delivering customer service, internal costs of maintaining the network and infrastructure, and the development and implementation of operating support systems and associated hardware enhancements. The primary components of the increases, representing 85.2% of the increase in the 2010 Year, were salaries, benefits and other costs related to the enhancement of our services to encompass global 24/7 staffing and the establishment of a new support center in Conshohocken, PA.
Sales and Marketing - Sales and marketing expenses increased 29.7% in the 2010 Year as Glowpoint continues to focus on its indirect sales channel to foster greater growth. Approximately 70% of new sales continue to be realized through these channels in 2010. The primary components of the increases, representing 79.8% of the increase in the 2010 Year, were increased salaries, benefits and other costs related to hiring additional sales related employees and consultants. Several advertising and marketing programs, representing 17.1% of the increase in the 2010 Year, were initiated to increase our visibility in the marketplace.
General and Administrative - General and administrative expenses, which include direct corporate expenses related to costs of personnel in the various corporate support categories, including executive, finance, human resources and information technology, increased 21.4% in the 2010 Year. Severance costs represented 70.9% or $665,000 of the increase in the 2010 Year.
Depreciation and Amortization – Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 2.1% in the 2010 Year due to purchases of property and equipment exceeding the retirements of these assets.
Sales Taxes and Regulatory Fees –Based on our historical experience in collecting and remitting sales taxes and regulatory fees, we adjusted the accrued sales taxes and regulatory fees liability at December 31, 2009 to amounts that reflect settlements with taxing authorities and amounts that we believe are probable and can be reasonably estimated. This resulted in $2,500,000 of income in the 2009 Year. There were no sales taxes and regulatory fee adjustments in the 2010 Year.
Loss from Continuing Operations – Loss from continuing operations increased by $3,248,000 in the 2010 Year. The primary drivers of the loss increase were the $2,500,000 of income from the change in estimates for accrued sales taxes and regulatory fees in the 2009 Year and $665,000 of severance costs in the 2010 Year. Increases in costs for managed services associated with 24/7 global support, increases in sales and marketing costs from hiring new professionals, and charges associated with network and infrastructure consolidation costs were partially offset by increases in higher margin managed services revenues.
Interest and Other Expense (Income) – Interest and other expense (income) in the 2010 Year principally reflected $126,000 of interest charges from vendors and $34,000 of the amortization of financing charges related to the 2010 Private Placements. Other expense in the 2009 Year of $1,559,000 consisted of $1,848,000 for an increase in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which did not exist in the 2010 Year, $254,000 for the loss on the extinguishment of the remaining Senior Secured Notes and interest expense of $241,000. These costs were partially offset by $784,000 of interest income from the change in estimates for accrued sales taxes and regulatory fees partially offset by interest from vendors and the Senior Secured Notes.
Income Taxes - As a result of our losses, we recorded no provision for incomes taxes in the 2010 Year and 2009 Year. Any deferred tax asset that would be related to our losses has been fully reserved under a valuation allowance, reflecting the uncertainties as to realization evidenced by our historical results and restrictions on the usage of the net operating loss carry forwards.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations – Loss from continuing operations increased by 199.7% in the 2010 Year due to the reasons noted above.
Income from Discontinued Operations – Income from discontinued operations declined by 70.4% in the 2010 Year. The transfer of our ISDN resale business is anticipated to be completed in the 2nd quarter of 2011.
Net Loss - Net loss increased by $2,116,000, or 386.8%, to $2,663,000 in the 2010 Year.
Loss on Redemption of Preferred Stock – Our loss on the redemption of Preferred Stock resulted from the 2010 Private Placements and was $934,000 in the 2010 Year. In connection with the 2009 Private Placements we had a loss on the redemption of Preferred Stock of $64,000 in the 2009 Year. For loss per share calculations this loss, though charged to Additional Paid in Capital, increases the net loss attributable to common stockholders.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders - Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3,597,000 or $0.19 per basic and diluted share in the 2010 Year. For the 2009 Year, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $611,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3,597,000, of which $934,000 was related to a non-cash loss on redemption of preferred stock incurred in connection with the 2010 Private Placements (as discussed in Note 17), and we had a negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,444,000. At December 31, 2010, we had $2,035,000 of cash, negative working capital of $526,000 and an accumulated deficit of $165,068,000. In October 2010, we implemented a plan to reduce operating costs. We have historically been able to raise capital in private placements, most recently $3,000,000 in March 2010 and $1,000,000 in September 2010, as needed to fund operations and provide growth capital. In June 2010, the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Facility (as discussed in Note 7) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes and under which we had unused borrowing availability of $1,600,000 as of December 31, 2010. The Revolving Loan Facility matures in June 2012. In addition to our financing activity, we also recently amended the terms of our Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to eliminate any dividends until January 2013 and have reached settlements regarding a majority of the liability for which we had accrued sales and use taxes and regulatory fees. Based on the October 2010 cost reduction plan, the 2010 Private Placements, our new Revolving Loan Facility, the elimination of dividends until January 2013, along with our cash flow projection, the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient cash flow to fund its operations through at least March 31, 2012. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital as may be needed or upon acceptable terms, nor that current economic conditions will not negatively impact us. If the current economic conditions negatively impact us and we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Private Placement Transactions
Capital Raises
Over the last two years, with the most recent transaction occurring in September 2010, the Company entered into several private placement transactions raising (i) gross proceeds of $4,000,000 by selling shares of the Company’s perpetual Series B preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and (ii) gross proceeds of $1,800,000 by selling additional shares of convertible preferred stock which ultimately became shares of the Company’s Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (“Series A-2 Preferred Stock”). In connection with those transactions the Company also exchanged shares of its previously issued preferred stock for ultimately, shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.
The effect of these transactions over the two-year period was to raise $5,800,000 for the Company while reducing our common stock and common stock equivalents by 7,933,000 shares or 23.4% and our liquidation preference by $10,478,000 or 36.9%.

Cash flows
At December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $526,000, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,365,000 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $839,000. We had $2,035,000 in cash at December 31, 2010, compared to $587,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $1,448,000.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,444,000 for the 2010 Year. The primary components of the use of funds were $732,000 from the net loss excluding non-cash charges, payments of $767,000 to reduce accounts payable, accrued expenses and sales taxes and regulatory fees, a $105,000 increase in accounts receivable and other assets and a $82,000 decrease in customer deposits and deferred revenue partially offset by a $242,000 decrease in the assets of the discontinued operations.
Cash used in investing activities in the 2010 Year for the purchase of property, equipment and leasehold improvements was $1,620,000 partially reduced by the proceeds from the sale of equipment for $61,000. The capital expenditures were focused on improvement to the Glowpoint infrastructure and the leasehold improvements to our new facility in Murray Hill, NJ.
Cash provided by financing activities in the 2010 Year was comprised of $4,000,000 received from the sale of our preferred stock, $750,000 of proceeds from our Revolving Loan Facility and $8,000 received from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $307,000 of costs related to the 2010 Private Placements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2010.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”) which supersedes certain guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Revenue Recognition — Multiple Element Arrangements.” This topic requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. This topic is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data
The information required by this Item 8 is incorporated by reference herein from Item 15, Part IV, of this Form 10-K.
Item 9. Change in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Glowpoint in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Glowpoint in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Glowpoint has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2010, and, based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance of compliance.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Glowpoint has evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 and have concluded that no change has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Glowpoint’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Glowpoint’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
|
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
|
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Glowpoint, Inc and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Glowpoint, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited the adjustments to the 2009 consolidated financial statements to retroactively apply the change in accounting for the reverse stock split and discontinued operations, as described in Notes 2 and 8, respectively. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2009 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to these adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2009 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note 1 - The Business
Glowpoint, Inc. ("Glowpoint" or "we" or "us" or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of cloud-based managed video services for the global business community. The Company pursues its recurring revenue business model by currently supporting thousands of video endpoints and telepresence systems and delivering service to more than 500 different enterprises in over 35 countries around the globe. Glowpoint’s managed services enable the integration of video into any unified communications in the market for global managed video and business-to-business (B2B) services and solutions. Glowpoint operates in one reporting segment.
Glowpoint also provides wholesale programs and private-labeled (branded) resale options for hardware manufacturers, network operators, and system integrators seeking to offer video services as a value-added addition to their collaboration and communications offerings. Today, the Company maintains multiple strategic partnerships that are core to its global sales strategy.
Glowpoint’s services, which are accessible globally, enable two-way interactive video communications through our “in the cloud” service support and hosted infrastructure. Glowpoint’s service cloud is fully equipped with multi-tenant infrastructure, technology platforms, and applications, much of which is proprietary. Customers simply plug into the Glowpoint service cloud to gain access to video infrastructure, systems, applications, and unmatched video expertise. In this regard, our services are analogous to the “software as a service” industry or other cloud-based services.
Glowpoint’s core service offerings are designed to enable integration of video into enterprise Unified Communications environments by delivery through Glowpoint’s Open Video™ cloud-based, shared infrastructure model, which offers conferencing scalability and security for large enterprises and small and medium sized businesses around the world. Open Video offers telepresence, video and unified collaboration users a way to meet and communicate across various hardware/software platforms and carrier networks in a secure, open fashion – removing all barriers to video collaboration and communications. Open Video includes three service categories:
·
|
OV Connect - enables customers to connect to other video users through peering arrangements with MPLS carriers, Ethernet exchanges, the public Internet, and cross connects at co-location facilities. Glowpoint supports the convergence of voice, data and video using the customer’s existing network connection or a dedicated private network if required.
|
·
|
OV Collaborate - offers comprehensive conferencing services, including scalable, pre-scheduled and “ad-hoc” confer-encing resources, using hosted infrastructure in the cloud or a client’s infrastructure. In addition to connecting virtually any device to a call, our conference producers can manage, record, and stream video events to the Internet.
|
·
|
OV Manage - includes the video operations (VNOC) management system that provides a complete solution for end-to-end management of immersive and non-immersive telepresence rooms. OV Manage offers flexible options, including a complete cloud-based infrastructure that offers customers the opportunity to purchase only the endpoints themselves, as well as packages that cater to customers who elect to purchase their own video infrastructure.
|
Other services provided by Glowpoint include:
·
|
Professional Services - provides a complement to our core managed service offerings and may be applied toward a branding program or even a video deployment evaluation by an enterprise. Today, Glowpoint has branded its video services for Polycom, AVI-SPL, TATA Commincations, a global telecommunications carrier, and for a host of others who offer Glowpoint’s managed services to their client base.
|
·
|
Broadcast Solutions - provides IP-based broadcast solutions for leading sports broadcasters, sports leagues, news outlets, cable stations, and collegiate conferences. Glowpoint's "always-on," managed service and exclusive video-network exchange service reduces transport costs and program operations by up to 80 percent as compared to traditional satellite feeds and associated operations. Glowpoint enables ultra-clean HD- and SD-interactive broadcasts, provides real-time communications and two-up capability for live-to-air and live-to-web broadcasts, all delivered through proactively maintained flexible solutions.
|
After a strategic review we determined that our Integrated Services Digital Network (“ISDN”) resale services no longer fit into our strategic plan. In September 2010, we entered into an agreement with an independent telecommunications service provider to transfer our customers receiving this service to them, and prospectively we will receive a 15% recurring referral fee for those revenues. The transfer will be completed in the second quarter of 2011 (see Note 8).
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation, Liquidity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidity
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3,597,000, of which $934,000 was related to a non-cash loss on redemption of preferred stock incurred in connection with the 2010 Private Placements (as discussed in Note 17), and we had a negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,444,000. At December 31, 2010, we had $2,035,000 of cash, negative working capital of $526,000 and an accumulated deficit of $165,068,000. In October 2010, we implemented a plan to reduce operating costs. We have historically been able to raise capital in private placements, most recently $3,000,000 in March 2010 and $1,000,000 in September 2010, as needed to fund operations and provide growth capital. In June 2010, the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Facility (as discussed in Note 7) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes and under which we had unused borrowing availability of approximately $1,600,000 as of December 31, 2010 . The Revolving Loan Facility matures in June 2012. In addition to our financing activity, we also recently amended the terms of our Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to eliminate any dividends until January 2013 and have reached settlements regarding a majority of the liability for which we had accrued sales and use taxes and regulatory fees. Based on the October 2010 cost reduction plan, the 2010 Private Placements, our new Revolving Loan Facility, the elimination of dividends until January 2013, along with our cash flow projection, the Company believes that it has, and will have, sufficient cash flow to fund its operations through at least March 31, 2012. There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital as may be needed or upon acceptable terms, nor that current economic conditions will not negatively impact us. If the current economic conditions negatively impact us and we are unable to raise additional capital that may be needed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Glowpoint and our wholly owned subsidiary, GP Communications, LLC. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reverse Stock Split - Reclassifications
On January 10, 2011, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"), effecting a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of one-for-four. The reverse stock split was effective on January 14, 2011. The Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment on June 17, 2010, and the Company's Board of Directors authorized the implementation of the reverse stock split on December 17, 2010.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every four shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of common stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were paid in cash to the stockholder. The reverse stock split reduced the number of the Company's shares of common stock as shown in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The share amounts of common and treasury stock, warrants and options shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, at a ratio of one-for-four for all periods presented. The exercise price for all options and warrants and the conversion price for preferred stock in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, by multiplying the original exercise or conversion price by four.
Reclassifications
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operating results and balance sheet items of the discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. Prior year financial statements have been restated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles to present the operations of the ISDN resale services as a discontinued operation.
Certain other prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation and the impact of the reverse stock split as discussed above.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. The significant areas of estimation include determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax valuation allowance, accrued sales taxes, the estimated life of customer relationships and the estimated lives and recoverability of property and equipment.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also record additional allowances based on our aged receivables, which are determined based on historical experience and an assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If our actual collections experience changes, revisions to our allowance may be required. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. We do not obtain collateral from our customers to secure accounts receivable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company considers its cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable to meet the definition of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of our Revolving Loan Facility approximates fair value due to its short term maturities and variable interest rates.
The Company measures fair value as required by the ASC topic 820“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
•
|
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
|
|
•
|
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
|
|
•
|
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
|
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company did not have any unobservable inputs during the year ended, and as of, December 31, 2010. The Company did not have any unobservable inputs as of December 31, 2009.
Accounting Standards Updates
In October 2009, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 (“ASU 2009-13”) which supersedes certain guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Revenue Recognition — Multiple Element Arrangements.” This topic requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. This topic is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company’s objectives in using debt-related derivative financial instruments are to obtain the lowest cash cost source of funds within a targeted range of variable-to fixed-rate debt obligations. Derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value as required by ASC Topic 815“Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”). The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities is calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model where applicable and such estimates are revalued at each balance sheet date, with changes in value recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in “Increase or “decrease” in Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments.” As a result of the Company’s adoption of ASC Topic 815, effective January 1, 2009, all of the then-outstanding warrants were accounted for as derivatives.
In the 2009 Private Placements (see Note 16), all 10,228,000 of the then-outstanding warrants to acquire shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.60 were amended to require the consent of a majority of the warrant holders in order to consummate a financing at a price per share of common stock below $1.60, thereby eliminating the provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price and the need to account for a derivative liability for these warrants. Concurrently 9,772,000 of those warrants were exchanged for common stock.
All of our currently outstanding warrants require the consent of a majority of the warrant holders in order to consummate a financing at a price per share of common stock below such warrants’ exercise price, thereby eliminating the provisions that protect holders from a decline in the stock price, as well as the need to account for a derivative liability for such warrants. As of December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any derivative liabilities related to its derivative financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize subscription revenue when the related services have been performed. Revenue billed in advance is deferred until the revenue has been earned. Other service revenue, including amounts related to surcharges charged by our carriers, related to the Glowpoint managed network service and the multi-point video and audio conferencing services are recognized as service is provided. As the non-refundable, upfront activation fees charged to the subscribers do not meet the criteria as a separate unit of accounting, they are deferred and recognized over the 12 to 24 month period estimated life of the customer relationship. Revenue related to integration services is recognized at the time the services are performed, and presented as required by ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Revenues derived from other sources are recognized when services are provided or events occur.
Taxes Billed to Customers and Remitted to Taxing Authorities
We recognize taxes billed to customers in revenues and taxes remitted to taxing authorities in our operating costs, network and infrastructure. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 we included taxes of $1,912,000 and $1,717,000, respectively, in revenues and we included taxes of $1,791,000 and $1,613,000, respectively, in network and infrastructure costs.
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations, primarily fixed assets, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might not be recoverable as required by ASC topic 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment.” For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying values of the assets exceed their fair values, the related assets will be written down to fair value. No impairment losses were recorded through December 31, 2010.
Capitalized Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software. All software development costs have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC Topic 350.40 “Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software.” Capitalized software costs are included in “Property and Equipment” on our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over three to four years. Software costs that do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we capitalized internal-use software costs of $390,000 and $473,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 we recorded related amortization of $239,000 and $142,000, respectively. For the years ending December 31, 2011 through 2014 we expect to amortize $235,000, $204,000, $62,000 and $3,000, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash primarily in commercial checking accounts. Commercial bank balances may from time to time exceed federal insurance limits.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the asset's useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Property and equipment include fixed assets subject to capital leases which are depreciated over the life of the respective asset.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was the same as basic loss per share. Potential shares of common stock associated with outstanding options and warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of our convertible preferred stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effects, as a result of our net loss, would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock based awards have been appropriately accounted for as required by ASC topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC topic 718”). Under ASC topic 718 share based awards are valued at fair value on the date of grant, and that fair value is recognized over the requisite service period. The Company values its stock based awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
We periodically grant stock options to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of our stock option plans, with the exercise price of the stock options being set at the closing market price of the common stock on the date of grant.
Treasury Stock
In March 2010, the Company cancelled 391,000 shares of common stock that had been acquired by the Company primarily in 2007 and such cancellation has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at $1,383,000.

Note 5 - Accrued Sales Taxes and Regulatory Fees
Included in accrued sales taxes and regulatory fees are (i) certain estimated sales and use taxes, regulatory fees and (ii) sales taxes and regulatory fees collected from customers that are to be remitted to taxing authorities. Beginning in 2007, we began proactively contacting various taxing authorities and voluntarily disclosing potential tax liabilities, and have continually revised what sales taxes and regulatory fees are applicable to our business. The settlement terms from this voluntarily disclosure program, all of which are subject to audit, have resulted in paying significantly less than the total amounts accrued due to, among other things, offsets allowed, the avoidance of penalties, and contracting for limited look-back periods.

Note A – In 2009, $195,000 which was paid in 2010, was classified as a long term liability and the balance as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheets.
Note B – Based on the results of the voluntary disclosure programs, expiration of certain statute of limitations for look back periods, settlements with taxing authorities, completion of successful audits, the passage of time and the Company’s historical experience in collecting and remitting these taxes, the Company has adjusted the accrued sales taxes and regulatory fees liability to amounts that reflect settlements with taxing authorities and amounts that we believe are probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Note 7 – Revolving Loan Facility
On June 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 for working capital purposes. The Revolving Loan Facility matures on June 15, 2012. The amounts that can be borrowed at any given time are equal to the lesser of $5,000,000 or 80% of the eligible accounts receivable, as defined. As of December 31, 2010, we had unused borrowing availability of $1,600,000. Outstanding principal amounts under the Revolving Loan Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to Prime Rate as announced by SVB plus two percent (2%), payable monthly in arrears, subject to a minimum interest rate of 6%. The Company is also obligated to pay minimum monthly interest of $3,750 regardless of the amount borrowed. The SVB Prime Rate was 4% as of December 31, 2010. The Revolving Loan Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all the Company’s assets, including, without limitation, its intellectual property. The Revolving Loan Facility contains a number of financial covenants, including without its limitation, covenants relating to minimum unrestricted cash balances and minimum monthly Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Revolving Loan Facility. At December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with the covenants, as defined, of the Revolving Loan Facility and there was $750,000 outstanding.
The Revolving Loan Facility financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, which are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, were $52,000 as of December 31, 2010. The financing costs for the Revolving Loan Facility are being amortized over the 12 to 24 month period through the maturity date of the Revolving Loan Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the amortization of financing costs was $34,000 and was included as “Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs” in the consolidated statement of operations in Interest and Other Expense.
Note 8 – Discontinued Operations
Our ISDN resale services no longer fit into our overall strategic plan. In September 2010, we entered into an agreement with an independent telecommunications service provider to transfer these services and the related customers, and going forward the Company will receive a 15% monthly recurring referral fee for those revenues. The only remaining assets of the ISDN resale services are the receivables for services provided prior to the transfer for which the Company will retain and collect these accounts. It is anticipated that the transfer will be completed in the second quarter of 2011 and the Company will have no continuing involvement with the ISDN product line.
The Company accordingly classified these ISDN related revenues and expenses as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205.20 “Discontinued Operations.” The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the operating results and balance sheet items of the discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. Prior year financial statements have been restated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles to present the operations of the ISDN resale services as a discontinued operation.
Revenues from the ISDN resale services, reported as discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $620,000 and $1,284,000, respectively. Net income from the ISDN resale services, reported as discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $112,000 and $379,000, respectively. The assets and liabilities from the ISDN resale services, reported as net current assets of discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $15,000 and $257,000, respectively. No income tax provision was required to be recognized by the Company against income from the ISDN resale services over the related periods.
Note 9 – Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the following potential shares of common stock that could have been issuable upon conversion have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effects, as a result of our net loss, would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):

Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities
The Company did not have any derivative liabilities as of, and during, the year ended December 31, 2010, and therefore did not need to recognize any changes in estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2010.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 815 effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of ASC Topic 815’s requirements can affect the accounting for warrants and many convertible instruments with down-round provisions. For example, warrants with such provisions will no longer be recorded in equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. We evaluated whether our warrants or convertible preferred stock contain provisions that protect holders from declines in our stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective warrant or preferred stock agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option. The Company determined that all of the then outstanding warrants contained such provisions thereby concluding they were not indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company determined that ASC Topic 815 does not affect the accounting treatment of the convertible preferred stock. A contingent beneficial conversion amount is required to be calculated and recognized when and if the adjusted conversion price of the convertible preferred stock, currently $3.00, is adjusted to reflect a down-round stock issuance that reduces the conversion price below the $1.16 fair value of the common stock on the issuance date of the convertible preferred stock.
In accordance with ASC Topic 815, the Company, beginning on January 1, 2009, recognized these warrants as liabilities at their respective fair values on each reporting date. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting for these instruments of $23,551,000 was recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2009. The cumulative effect adjustment was the difference between the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet before initial adoption of ASC Topic 815 and the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet upon the initial application of ASC Topic 815. The amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a result of the initial application of ASC Topic 815 on January 1, 2009 were determined based on the amounts that would have been recognized if ASC Topic 815 had been applied from the issuance date of the instruments. In the 2009 Warrant Exchange (see Note 16), the need to account for a derivative liability was eliminated.
On the date of the 2009 Warrant Exchange, when the Company eliminated the down-round provisions and the need to account for a derivative liability, the Company determined the fair values of these securities using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the assumptions shown in Note 14. The accrued derivative liability of $4,751,000, which was related to those warrants, was then transferred to Additional Paid in Capital.
Through the date of the 2009 Warrant Exchange we recorded an increase of $1,848,000 in the fair value of the derivative liabilities which was included in the consolidated statements of operations in “Expense for increase in estimated fair value of Derivative Financial Instruments” for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Activity for derivative liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2009, and as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was as follows (in thousands):

Note 12 – Preferred Stock
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2010, there are: 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding; 7,500 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock authorized and 1,059 shares issued and outstanding; and 4,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock authorized and no shares issued or outstanding.
Over the last three years, with the most recent transaction occurring in September 2010, the Company has entered into several private placement transactions raising (i) gross proceeds of $4,000,000 by selling shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) gross proceeds of $9,718,000 by issuing Senior Secured Notes to certain investors (including several officers and directors of the Company (“Insider Purchasers”)), which in the 2009 Private Placement were ultimately exchanged for shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, and (iii) gross proceeds of $3,625,000 by selling additional shares of convertible preferred stock, which ultimately converted into shares of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. In connection with those transactions, the Company also exchanged shares of its previously issued preferred stock for, ultimately, shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100,000 per share (the “Series B Stated Value”), and a liquidation preference equal to the Series B Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is senior to all other classes of equity and, commencing on January 1, 2013, is entitled to cumulative dividends from January 1, 2013, at a rate of 4% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series B Stated Value. Commencing January 1, 2014, the cumulative dividend rate increases to 12% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series B Stated Value. The Company may, at its option at any time, redeem all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock by paying the Series B Liquidation Preference.
Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock has a stated value of $7,500 per share (the “Series A-2 Stated Value”), a liquidation preference equal to the Series A-2 Stated Value, and is convertible at the holder’s election into common stock at a conversion price per share of $3.00. Therefore, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,500 shares of common stock. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock is subordinate to the Series B Preferred Stock but is senior to all other classes of equity, has weighted average anti-dilution protection and, commencing on January 1, 2013, is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Series A-2 Stated Value. Once dividend payments commence, all dividends are payable at the option of the holder in cash or through the issuance of a number of additional shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the dividend amount payable on the applicable dividend payment date.
The following is a summary of the activity for the Company’s preferred stock during the year ended December 31, 2010 and as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except shares of Series A-2 and Series B Preferred Stock):

Due to the low average daily trading volume of our common stock, we have discounted the common stock price in the Black-Scholes option valuation model to reflect the adverse impact on our share price which would result from a dramatic increase in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding upon the exercise of these warrants.
The Company calculates expected volatility for a stock-based grant based on historic daily stock price observations of our common stock during the period immediately preceding the grant that is equal in length to the expected term of the grant. The risk free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time of grants with terms approximating the expected term of the grants. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model are highly subjective, and can materially affect the resulting valuation.
Note 15 - Stock options
In our stock option plans, the exercise price of the awards are established by the administrator of the plan and, in the case of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) issued to employees who are less than 10% stockholders, the per share exercise price must be equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of the common stock on the date of grant or not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares in the case of an employee who is a 10% stockholder. The administrator of the plan determines the terms and provisions of each award granted, including the vesting schedule, repurchase provisions, rights of first refusal, forfeiture provisions, form of payment, payment contingencies and satisfaction of any performance criteria.
The weighted average fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

The Company calculates expected volatility for a stock-based grant based on historic daily stock price observations of its common stock during the period immediately preceding the grant that is equal in length to the expected term of the grant. The expected term of the options and forfeiture rates are estimated based on the Company’s exercise and employment termination experience. The risk free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time of grants with terms approximating the expected life of the grants. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model are highly subjective and can materially affect the resulting valuations.

The remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for options at December 31, 2010 was $478,000, of which $319,000, representing 155,000 shares, will only be expensed upon a “change in control” and the remaining $159,000 will be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.

Sale of Series Preferred Stock
In the 2009 Private Placements, the Company received $1,800,000 of gross proceeds for 450 shares of its Series A-1 Preferred Stock and warrants having an exercise price of $1.60 per share to acquire an aggregate of 562,000 shares of common stock (the “2009 Preferred Stock Sale”).
We accounted for the issuance of the warrants to acquire 562,000 shares of common stock with an expiration date of March 2014, at fair value. The $189,000 estimated fair value of these warrants, determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the assumptions shown in Note 14, was charged to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and credited to Derivative Financial Instruments.
The Series A-1 Preferred Stock was recorded in the balance sheet at $1,611,000, which is the gross cash received less the $189,000 fair value of the warrants issued in the sale.
Senior Secured Note Exchange
In the 2009 Private Placements, the Company issued 269 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and warrants having an exercise price of $1.60 per share to acquire 149,000 shares of common stock in exchange for $1,076,000 (including $12,000 of accrued interest) of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes (the “2009 Senior Secured Note Exchange”).
We accounted for the issuance of the warrants to acquire 149,000 shares of common stock with an expiration date of March 2014, at fair value. The $50,000 estimated fair value of these warrants, determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the assumptions shown in Note 14, was charged to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and credited to Derivative Financial Instruments.
The Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued in exchange for the Senior Secured Notes was recorded in the balance sheet at $1,026,000 which is the value of the Senior Secured Notes exchanged less the $50,000 fair value of the warrants issued in the exchange.
Senior Secured Note Purchase
In the 2009 Private Placements, the remaining $713,000 of Senior Secured Notes were purchased for $750,000 and retired by the Company (the “2009 Senior Secured Note Purchase”). The prepayment was funded from the sale of securities in the 2009 Private Placements. As a result, there are no Senior Secured Notes outstanding. The $37,000 excess of the amount paid to purchase the remaining Senior Secured Notes and their book value along with $217,000 of unamortized discount that remained when the Senior Secured Notes were exchanged or purchased in the 2009 Private Placements resulted in a $254,000 “Loss on Extinguishment of Debt,” which was recorded in our consolidated statements of operations in Interest and Other Expense.
Preferred Stock Exchanges
In a series of transactions in the 2009 Private Placements, the holders of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged those shares into Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and then (i) consented to the creation of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock which does not pay dividends until January 1, 2013 and (ii) were issued an aggregate of 4,509 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, having a Stated Value of $33,815,000, in exchange for an aggregate of 4,509 shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock, which also had a Stated Value of $33,815,000 (“2009 Preferred Stock Exchanges”). The book value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock exchanged was $14,211,000. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock received in the transaction was recorded in the balance sheet at $14,275,000 which is the fair value of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock.
We accounted for the 2009 Preferred Stock Exchanges as a redemption that requires that the excess of the fair value of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-2 Fair Value”) over the carrying amount of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Carrying Amount”) should be added to net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders. The Series A-1 Carrying Amount of $14,211,000 was recorded at the then fair value. The Series A-2 Fair Value of $14,275,000 is based on the net present value of the components of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. As required by ASC topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” the $64,000 excess of Series A-2 Fair Value over the Series A-1 Carrying Amount is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as a “Loss on Redemption of Preferred Stock” and added to our net loss to arrive at the net loss attributable to common stockholders.
Warrant Exchange
In the 2009 Private Placements, all 10,228,000 of the warrants to acquire shares of common stock at $1.60 per share were amended to require the consent of a majority of the warrant holders in order to consummate a financing at a price per share of common stock below $1.60, thereby eliminating the down-round provisions and the need to account for a derivative liability for these warrants. Concurrently, the holders of 9,772,000 of such warrants were issued one share of common stock for warrants to acquire 2.25 shares of common stock (the “2009 Warrant Exchange”) and as a result, 4,343,000 shares of common stock were issued. The remaining 456,000 warrants remain outstanding until November 2013. The accrued derivative liability of $4,751,000, which was related to the remaining outstanding warrants, was then transferred to Additional Paid in Capital.
Financial Advisor and Legal Fees
In connection with the 2009 Private Placements, we paid legal fees of $108,000, paid our financial advisor a placement agent fee of $276,000 and issued warrants to our financial advisor and/or its designees and assignees to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock. We accounted for the issuance of the warrants to acquire 125,000 shares of common stock having an exercise price of $1.60 per share with an expiration date of March 2014 (the “2009 Financial Advisor Warrants”) at fair value. The $42,000 estimated fair value of the 2009 Financial Advisor Warrants, determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the assumptions shown in Note 14, was charged to Additional Paid in Capital and credited to Derivative Financial Instruments.
Note 17 – 2010 Private Placements
In 2010, the Company entered into transactions that, in the aggregate, resulted in the Company’s raising $4,000,000 of growth capital and exchanging 3,450 shares of its outstanding Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”) for (i) 100 shares of our newly-created non-convertible Series B preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 4,624,000 shares of common stock (the “2010 Private Placements”).
The following are the amounts of cash, number of the shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, common stock and warrants issued or exchanged in each component of the 2010 Private Placements (in thousands except for shares of preferred stock ):

Sale of Series B Preferred Stock
In the 2010 Private Placements, the Company received $4,000,000 of gross proceeds for the issuance of 40 shares of its newly-created Series B Preferred Stock (the “2010 Series B Preferred Stock Sales”). The Series B Preferred Stock was recorded in the balance sheet at $4,000,000, which is the gross cash received in the sale and is also its liquidation value.
Exchange of Series A-2 Preferred Stock for Series B Preferred Stock
In the 2010 Private Placements, 60 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $6,000,000 were issued in exchange for 1,600 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $12,000,000 (the “2010 Series B Preferred Stock Exchanges”).
We accounted for the 2010 Series B Preferred Stock Exchanges as a redemption that requires that the excess of the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Fair Value”) over the carrying amount of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-2 Carrying Amount”) be added to net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders. The Series A-2 Carrying Amount of $5,066,000 is based on the recorded book value. The Series B Fair Value of $6,000,000 is based on applying the $100,000 sale price of each share of Series B Preferred Stock sold in the 2010 Private Placements to each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued in the 2010 Series B Preferred Stock Exchanges. As required by ASC topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” the $934,000 excess of Series B Fair Value over the Series A-2 Carrying Amount is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as a “Loss on Redemption of Preferred Stock” and added to our net loss to arrive at the net loss attributable to common stockholders.
Conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock for Common Stock
In the 2010 Private Placements, 1,850 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock were converted into 4,624,000 shares of common stock (the “2010 Common Stock Conversions”). Each of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shares was converted into 2,500 shares of common stock, which is consistent with the Series A-2 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation.
We accounted for the 2010 Common Stock Conversions by taking the Series A-2 carrying amount of $5,855,000 and allocating $2,000 to the par value of common stock and the balance of $5,853,000 to Additional Paid in Capital.
Financial Advisor and Legal Fees
In connection with the 2010 Private Placements, we paid legal fees of $27,000 and incurred and paid financial advisory fees of $280,000. We issued financial advisory warrants to purchase 295,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.53 per share and exercisable for a period of five years (the "2010 Financial Advisor Warrants"). We accounted for the issuance of the 2010 Financial Advisor Warrants at fair value. The $443,000 estimated fair value of the 2010 Financial Advisor Warrants, determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model using the assumptions shown in Note 14, was charged to Additional Paid in Capital "Costs related to 2010 Private Placements" and credited to Additional Paid in Capital "Warrants issued in connection with 2010 Private Placements."
Note 18 - Income Taxes
We had no tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as shown in the following table (in thousands):

The ending balances of the deferred tax asset have been fully reserved, reflecting the uncertainties as to realizability evidenced by the Company’s historical results.
We and our subsidiary file federal tax returns on a consolidated basis and separate state tax returns. At December 31, 2010, we had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards of $127,765,000 for federal income tax purposes which expire in various amounts from 2011 through 2030. At December 31, 2010, we had net NOL carry-forwards of $93,740,000 for state income tax purposes which expire in various amounts from 2011 through 2030. The utilization of our NOL for federal income tax purposes sustained by Glowpoint may be substantially limited annually as a result of an "ownership change" (as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). If it is determined that there is a change in ownership, or if the Company undergoes a change of ownership in the future, the utilization of the Company’s NOL carry-forwards may be materially limited. This would result in a reduction in equal amounts to the deferred tax assets and the related valuation reserves.
There were no significant matters determined to be unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, in accordance with 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statement, that have been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Additionally, ASC 740 provides guidance on the recognition of interest and penalties related to income taxes. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
The federal and state tax returns for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are currently open and the tax return for the year ended December 31, 2010 will be filed in September 2011.
Note 19 - 401(k) Plan
We have adopted a retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. The plan is currently non-contributory on our part. Employer contributions to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $38,000 and $0, respectively.
Note 20 - Related Party Transactions
The Company provides managed video services (the “Video Services”) to a company in which one of our directors is an officer. The Company received consulting and tax services (the “Consulting Services”) from an accounting firm in which one of our prior directors, who resigned in May 2009, was a partner. Management believes that such transactions are in the normal course of business and for terms that would have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. We provided Video Services for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $317,000 and $305,000, respectively. The $26,000 of fees incurred for the Consulting Services for the year ended December 31, 2009, were only included for the period that the partner of the accounting firm was a director of the Company.
Note 21 – Major Customers
Major customers are those customers who account for more than 10% of revenues. The revenues derived from our only major customer for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were 19.5% and 16.5%, respectively. Accounts receivable from this major customer as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were 22.3% and 24.5%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. The loss of this customer would have an adverse affect on the Company’s operations.
Note 22 – Management Changes
In July 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company effected a termination without cause of David W. Robinson, its Co-Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Business Development.
Effective July 29, 2010, Mr. Robinson voluntarily resigned as a member of the Board. Mr. Robinson did not resign because of any disagreement with the Company, nor was he removed for cause from the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement between Glowpoint and Mr. Robinson dated May 1, 2006 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”) and the Separation Agreement between the Company and Mr. Robinson effective as of August 6, 2010, Mr. Robinson is entitled to receive cash payments totaling approximately $265,000 and other severance benefits (e.g., grants of new restricted stock, reimbursement of medical insurance premiums and an extension to exercise vested options) valued at approximately $152,000. These costs were included in general and administrative costs. As of December 31, 2010, $185,000 of unpaid severance related expenses were included as accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.
On November 30, 2010, John McGovern was appointed as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer replacing Mr. Heinen, the Company’s previous Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement between the Company and Mr. Heinen effective as of December 27, 2010, Mr. Heinen is entitled to receive cash payments totaling approximately $216,000 and other severance benefits (e.g., accelerated vesting of restricted stock and options and reimbursement of medical insurance premiums) valued at approximately $49,000. These costs were included in general and administrative costs. As of December 31, 2010, $265,000 of unpaid severance related expenses were included as accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.
Note 23 - Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
We lease several facilities under operating leases expiring through 2012. Certain leases require us to pay increases in real estate taxes, operating costs and repairs over certain base year amounts. Lease payments for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009 were $412,000 and $380,000, respectively.
Future minimum rental commitments under all non-cancelable operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

Commercial Commitments
We have entered into a number of agreements with telecommunications companies to purchase communications services. Some of the agreements require a minimum amount of services purchased over the life of the agreement, or during a specified period of time.
Glowpoint believes that it will meet its commercial commitments. In certain instances where Glowpoint did not meet the minimum commitments, no penalties for minimum commitments have been assessed and the Company has entered into new agreements. It has been our experience that the prices and terms of successor agreements are similar to those offered by other carriers.
Glowpoint does not believe that any loss contingency related to a potential shortfall should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements because it is not probable, from the information available and from prior experience, that Glowpoint has incurred a liability.
Letter of Credit
In November 2010, the Company entered into an irrevocable standby letter of credit (“LOC”) for $115,000 to secure our security deposit for the sublease of our corporate headquarters. The LOC was obtained from SVB and will be renewed yearly until January 2014, the expiration date of our lease.
Note 24 – Subsequent Event
On January 10, 2011, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"), effecting a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of one-for-four. The reverse stock split was effective on January 14, 2011. The Company's stockholders approved the Certificate of Amendment on June 17, 2010, and the Company's Board of Directors authorized the implementation of the reverse stock split on December 17, 2010.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every four shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be paid in cash to the stockholder. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from 85,416,000 to approximately 21,354,000.
