NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited interim financial statements of UCN, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively UCN) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods shown. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2007. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
UCN experienced net losses of $1.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The primary factors affecting operations during the first quarter of 2007 were: 1) continued investments in the promotion and development of inContact to bring these services to market; 2) $1.8 million of depreciation and amortization; and 3) $196,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense (Note 9).
UCNs working capital surplus of $1.6 million at December 31, 2006 decreased to $887,000 at March 31, 2007. The primarily reason for the decrease was a $1.3 million reduction in accounts payable that was offset by a $500,000 increase in the current portion of long-term debt. However, the available borrowings under the revolving credit facility increased $1.0 million to $3.2 million at March 31, 2007 compared to only $2.2 million available at December 31, 2006.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should UCN be unable to continue as a going concern. UCNs continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to achieve successful operations.
UCN has taken the following actions to ensure that UCN will be able to meet its obligations:
| In February 2007, UCN closed two acquisitions (Note 3), which improve the overall product offering suite that the Company can offer to existing and potential customers. With these new products, UCN provides customers the ability to monitor agent effectiveness through its customer survey tools and the ability to efficiently monitor their agent needs. These new service offerings provide UCN additional contact and service opportunities to potential customers as well as provide up-sale opportunities to existing customers. During the first quarter, these acquisitions added an additional $535,000 of higher-margin inContact revenue. |
| The inContact segment experienced its ninth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, which increased to $6.1 million during the quarter, a 105% increase from the same period in 2006. This increase was a result of the selling and promotion effort we have undertaken to bring these products to market. Revenue for the quarter increased over 30% compared to the same period in 2006. Excluding the $535,000 in revenue from the acquisitions, the segment increased 87% compared to the first quarter of 2006. UCN expects to continue to see significant revenue growth in the inContact segment in 2007, which we believe will be enhanced through the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the inContact segment revenue of $6.1 million includes $3.9 million of related long distance voice and data services and $2.2 million of inContact technology services. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the inContact segment revenue of $3.0 million includes $2.3 million of long distance voice and data services and $700,000 of inContact technology services.
In addition, in April 2007, ComVest converted the entire $3.4 million convertible note balance into UCN common shares. This conversion will save UCN an estimated $468,000 in cash payments during 2007 and will significantly improve the current ratio in future periods by eliminating the associated current portion of long-term debt.
Management believes these actions will allow UCN to have sufficient cash flows available to meet short-term requirements and to enable UCN to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of FIN 48: In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 ( FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that entities recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as components of income tax expense. The Companys adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 had no impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any uncertain income tax positions that would require adjustment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Issuance of SFAS 159: In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities, as well as, certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments, at fair value (the fair value option). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is selected for an instrument, the Statement specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
NOTE 3 ACQUISTIONS
BenchmarkPortal, Inc. Acquisition
On February 9, 2007, UCN closed the acquisition of BenchmarkPortal, Inc. to enhance and expand the services offered under the inContact suite of services. Through the acquisition of 100% of BenchmarkPortals outstanding stock, UCN acquired a call center survey and analysis business, operated under the name of EchoTM. The Echo business includes: 1) a customer base; 2) automated survey and analysis software and related service offerings; and 3) the related sales, marketing and technical staff. As consideration for the agreement, UCN paid the following consideration:
| $500,000 in cash to or for the benefit of the BenchmarkPortal stockholders at closing; and |
| $4,500,000 by issuing 1,535,836 shares of its restricted common stock to BenchmarkPortal stockholders. |
In addition to the amounts paid at closing, UCN agreed to pay contingent purchase price payments to BenchmarkPortal stock holders in the following amounts:
| $2.0 million of additional contingent purchase price cash payments to BenchmarkPortal stockholders in 36 equal monthly installments of $55,556, subject to adjustment if monthly recurring revenue during the payout period from customers accounts acquired in the transaction do not remain at certain levels, which are adjusted for estimated attrition; and |
| An additional $7.0 million maximum contingent quarterly earn out to BenchmarkPortal stockholders paid on a variable percentage of recurring revenue from the sale of Echo services during the four-year period after closing in excess of $900,000 per quarter. |
During the first quarter of 2007, UCN paid $55,556 in contingent purchase price payments as described above to BenchmarkPortal stockholders. No earn out payments were made during the first quarter of 2007.

ScheduleQ, LLC Acquisition
On October 19, 2006, UCN entered into a Reseller License Agreement with ScheduleQ, LLC. Under the terms of the license agreement, UCN acquired a limited exclusive right and continuing non-exclusive right to market and distribute ScheduleQ software and services to end-users. ScheduleQ software and services consist primarily of a platform-based workforce management system for call centers, which can operate through the inContact service. At the same time UCN entered into a Purchase Option Agreement with ScheduleQ and the members of that limited liability company. On February 9, 2007, UCN exercised it option to purchase 100% of the outstanding ownership of ScheduleQ, LLC. The acquisition closed on February 15, 2007. To complete the transaction, UCN paid former members of ScheduleQ the following consideration:
| $360,676 in non-interest bearing promissory notes to be paid in 48 equal monthly installments that are secured by the software code and any improvements thereto; |
| $330,000 by issuing 108,912 restricted common shares of UCN; and |
| $256,324 in notes assumed and paid subsequently to closing. |
In addition to the amounts paid at closing, UCN agreed to pay contingent purchase price to ScheduleQ stock holders in the following amounts:
| An earn out to be paid over a term of 48 months based on the number of licenses sold by UCN with a minimum aggregate earn out payment of $100,000 and a maximum of $982,000. |

The Company has accounted for both the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ transactions using the purchase method of accounting, and has included the operating results of each business in UCNs condensed consolidated statements of operations since the respective date of each acquisition. Management has allocated the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values. Management has utilized an independent valuation specialist to assist in estimating the fair values. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents operating results as if both acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods (in thousands except per share data):

NOTE 8 CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
In January 2007, UCN amended the convertible term note and revolving credit note agreement. In conjunction with this amendment, UCN issued warrants to ComVest Capital, LLC to purchase 55,000 shares of common stock at $2.90 per share. The fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $83,000 with an assumed expected volatility of 58.21%, a risk-free rate of return of 4.87%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of 4.3 years. These warrants were included in a registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-1 to register for resale on April 6, 2007. The registration statement became effective on April 19, 2007.
In conjunction with the BenchmarkPortal acquisition, UCN entered a consulting agreement with the founder of BenchmarkPortal and issued warrants to purchase a total of 60,000 share of UCN common stock at $2.95 per share. The fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $68,000 with an assumed expected volatility of 48.63%, a risk-free rate of return of 4.76%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of 3.0 years. This amount will be expensed as a consulting expense over the six month term of the agreement.
During the first quarter of 2007, former employees and two members of UCNs Board of Directors exercised options to purchase a total of 120,668 shares of common stock and UCN received total proceeds of $302,000.
In March 2007, a warrant holder converted 164,125 warrants in a cashless exercise into 36,810 shares of UCN common stock.
In conjunction with the BenchmarkPortal acquisition that was closed in February 2007, UCN issued a total of 1,535,836 shares of its restricted common stock to BenchmarkPortal stockholders (Note 3).
In conjunction with the ScheduleQ acquisition that was closed in February 2007, UCN issued a total of 108,912 shares of its restricted common stock to ScheduleQ stockholders (Note 3).

NOTE 10 MAJOR SUPPLIERS
Approximately 58% and 67% of UCNs cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, was generated from three of the largest U.S. telecommunication service providers. UCN owed $2.9 million and $4.8 million to these three providers as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
NOTE 11 SEGMENTS
UCN manages its business based on two customer segments: Telecom and inContact. The Telecom segment includes all voice and data long distance services provided to customers not utilizing any inContact services. The inContact segment includes revenues from customers using any inContact services as well as their long distance voice and data services. InContact services include automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, data storage, email, chat, computer telephony integration, call recording, conferencing and reporting. In mid February 2007, UCN closed two strategic acquisitions which have been added to the inContact segment. The BenchmarkPortal, Inc. acquisition allows us to provide customers a hosted process for measuring the effectiveness of agent interactions with clients. The ScheduleQ, LLC acquisition allows UCN to provide its customers a hosted solution for automating the scheduling, forecasting and alert notification functions common to most contact center/customer service type operations. These additions augment UCNs all-in-one hosted inContact solution.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the inContact segment revenue of $6.1 million includes $3.9 million of related long distance voice and data services and $2.2 million of inContact technology services. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the inContact segment revenue of $3.0 million includes $2.3 million of long distance voice and data services and $700,000 of inContact technology services. Management will continue to evaluate the components of the inContact segment as future strategic initiatives are implemented.
Operating segment revenues and profitability for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in thousands):

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Basis of presentation
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in UCNs 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed separately with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
UCN, Inc. (UCN or the Company) offers a wide range of hosted contact handling and performance management software services, in addition to a variety of connectivity options for carrying an inbound call into its inContact suite of services or linking agents to inContact, including dedicated T1s, IP connectivity, toll free and inbound local numbers. We sell telecom services unbundled from our inContact service offering, including, dedicated, switched, toll free, and data lines at competitive prices with superior service levels.
UCN is a Network Applications Provider that provides on-demand, hosted, contact handling software (through our inContact applications suite of services) and business telecommunication services delivered over our own, proprietary national Voice over Internet Protocol Network (VoIP Network). The inContact application suite includes an integrated package of advanced contact handling, reporting and administration applications and performance monitoring and management tools along with a unique rapid application development tool.
We offer a set of traditional connectivity products, which include the dedicated voice T1 product, the Intelligent-T, VoIP connectivity services and our switched 1+ services, that enable our customer sites to connect to UCNs VoIP Network and gain access to our inContact services. Our customers publish toll free and inbound local numbers to their customer base, enabling inbound callers to be handled through the inContact applications embedded in the VoIP Network. Our distribution channels pursue multiple marketing avenues, including using independent agents, value-added resellers and direct and inside sales forces.
Results of Operations
Revenue
Total revenues decreased $2.8 million or 12% to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $22.6 million compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease is primarily due to UCN terminating its relationship with several large-volume low-margin customers during the second quarter of 2006. These losses were offset by increases in inContact segment revenue, which were $6.1 million for the quarter compared to $3.0 million during the same period in 2006. In mid February 2007, UCN closed two strategic acquisitions which added $535,000 of additional revenue to our inContact segment. The BenchmarkPortal, Inc. acquisition allows us to provide customers a hosted process for measuring the effectiveness of agent interactions with clients. The ScheduleQ acquisition allows us to provide our customers a hosted solution for automating the scheduling, forecasting and alert notification functions common to most contact center/customer service type operations. These additions augment our all-in-one hosted inContact solution.
We continue focusing marketing efforts on providing on-demand contact center hosted solution and business telecommunications services delivered over our national VoIP network. We believe the opportunity to increase revenues through the sale of enhanced telecommunications services to business customers is much greater than through the sale of traditional long distance services to residential customers. We have developed a menu of enhanced communication services that we are marketing to our existing and potential customers through our multiple sales channels. As a result of these changes, we are experiencing a transition in sales mix, which will continue with the addition of new products and features.
Costs of revenue
Costs of revenue decreased $3.9 million or 25% to $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $15.5 million for the same period in 2006. Consistent with other telecommunication companies, we do not included amortization and depreciation in our calculation of costs of revenue. Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue improved to 58.2% during the quarter compared to 68.4% in the same period in 2006. We have continued to improve our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue percentage by implementing cost cutting measures, increasing higher margin inContact revenue, and terminating our relationship with large-volume low-margin customers.
As noted above, we continue to focus most of our marketing efforts on promoting our inContact technology services which carry significantly higher margins than the traditional long distance services. As a result, we expect continued improvements in
16
margins from the sales of these technology services as we add higher gross margin inContact customers. We continue to support our telecom reseller channel that markets our telecom products to business users and encourage those resellers to refer inContact opportunities to us.
Selling and promotion
Selling and promotion expenses increased 6% or $232,000 to $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $3.6 million during the same period in 2006 primarily due to an overall increase in the number of sales and lead generation activities. Our sales force grew substantially through the addition of employees related to the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions closed during the quarter.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 14% or $441,000 to $3.7 million compared to $3.3 million in the same period in 2006. The increase is primarily due to an overall increase in salaries and benefits during the year due to the growth of the company. Our general and administrative staff grew substantially through the addition of employees related to the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions closed during the quarter.
Segment Reporting
We manage our business based on two customer segments: Telecom and inContact. The Telecom customer segment includes all voice and data long distance services provided to customers not utilizing any inContact services. The inContact customer segment includes revenues from customers using any inContact services as well as their related long distance voice and data services. The inContact segment services include automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, data storage, email, chat, computer telephony integration, call recording, conferencing and reporting. In mid February 2007, UCN closed two strategic acquisitions which have been added to our inContact segment. The BenchmarkPortal, Inc. acquisition allows us to provide customers a hosted process for measuring the effectiveness of agent interactions with clients. The ScheduleQ, LLC acquisition allows us to provide our customers a hosted solution for automating the scheduling, forecasting and alert notification functions common to most contact center/customer service type operations. These additions augment our all-in-one hosted inContact solution. We will continue to evaluate the components of the inContact segment as future strategic initiatives are implemented.
inContact Customer Segment
The inContact segment experienced its ninth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, which increased to $6.1 million during the quarter, which is a 105% increase from the same period in 2006 as a result of the selling and promotion effort we have undertaken to bring these products to market. The BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions that were closed during mid February added an additional $535,000 of revenue during the quarter. Excluding the $535,000 in revenue from the acquisitions, the segment increased 87% compared to the first quarters of 2006.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the inContact segment revenue of $6.1 million includes $3.9 million of related long distance voice and data services and $2.2 million of inContact technology services. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the inContact segment revenue of $3.0 million includes $2.3 million of long distance voice and data services and $700,000 of inContact technology services.
Costs of revenue as a percentage of revenue improved during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 43.0% from 53.1% during the same period in 2006. These significant improvements are primarily due to closing higher margin inContact deals with new customers. We anticipate that margins will continue to improve as we add customers with more inContact technology services. We continue to focus a significant amount of resources related to bringing inContact to market. As a result, selling and promotion expenses in the segment increased 105% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006. We also continue to develop the services provided in the segment by investments in research and development. During the quarter, we spent $428,000 in research and development costs.
Telecom Customer Segment
We continue to see decreases in the Telecom segment; however the attrition rates are in line with our expectations. Overall segment revenue decreased 30% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006. These decreases were primarily due to UCN terminating its relationship with several large-volume low-margin customers during the second quarter of 2006 as well as up selling inContact services to several legacy Telecom customers. When an existing Telecom customer turns up inContact services, all of their Telecom revenue is moved to the inContact segment. We expect that revenue from the Telecom Segment will continue to decrease due to normal attrition rates as well as movement of customers from the Telecom customer segment to the inContact customer segment.
17
With the decline in revenues from the segment, we have been able to reduce overall costs in the segment. Our costs of revenue decreased 36% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2006. Net loss from operations for the segment decreased 31% to $281,000 from $407,000 during the same period in 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $323,000 primarily due a significant decrease in trade accounts payable of $1.3 million which was partially offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities. Our net loss of $1.7 million includes: 1) $1.8 million of depreciation and amortization; and 2) stock-based compensation expense of $196,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, which was made up of: 1) $686,000 paid in conjunction with the acquisition of BenchmarkPortal, and 2) $438,000 in purchases of property and equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities was $338,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to: 1) $500,000 draw on the revolving line of credit, 2) $301,000 received from the exercise of stock options. The cash increases from financing activities were partially offset by: 1) $256,000 paid in conjunction with debt assumed in the ScheduleQ acquisition, and $157,000 of other payments on long-term debt.
In January 2007, UCN amended the convertible term note and revolving credit note agreement. In conjunction with this amendment, UCN issued warrants to ComVest Capital, LLC to purchase 55,000 shares of common stock at $2.90 per share. The fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $83,000 with an assumed expected volatility of 58.21%, a risk-free rate of return of 4.87%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of 4.3 years. These warrants were included in a registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-1 to register for resale on April 6, 2007. The registration statement became effective on April 19, 2007.
In conjunction with the BenchmarkPortal acquisition, UCN entered a consulting agreement with the founder of BenchmarkPortal and issued warrants to purchase a total of 60,000 share of UCN common stock at $2.95 per share. The fair market value of the warrants, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, was $68,000 with an assumed expected volatility of 48.63%, a risk-free rate of return of 4.76%, no dividend yield, and an expected life of 3.0 years.
During the first quarter of 2007, former employees and two members of UCNs Board of Directors exercised options to purchase a total of 120,668 shares of common stock and UCN received total proceeds of $302,000.
In March 2007, a warrant holder converted 164,125 warrants in a cashless exercise into 36,810 shares of UCN common stock.
In conjunction with the BenchmarkPortal acquisition that was closed in February 2007, UCN issued a total of 1,535,836 shares of its restricted common stock to BenchmarkPortal stockholders.
In conjunction with the ScheduleQ acquisition that was closed in February 2007, UCN issued a total of 108,912 shares of its restricted common stock to ScheduleQ stockholders.
Our current ratio as of March 31, 2007 decreased slightly to 1.07:1 from 1.19:1 at December 31, 2006. The primarily reason for the decrease is due to a $1.7 million decrease in accounts receivable and $1.1 million in overall cash balances, These decreases in current assets were offset by a $1.5 million decrease in accounts payable during the quarter offset a by an increase in current portion of long-term debt. At March 31, 2007, we had $3.2 million of remaining available borrowing under the revolving credit facility compared to only $2.2 million available at December 31, 2006. As noted above, in April 2007, ComVest converted the entire convertible note, which will save UCN approximately $468,000 in cash payments during 2007 and will significantly improve the current ratio by eliminating the associated current portion of long-term debt.
We experienced net losses of $1.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The primary factors affecting operations during the first quarter of 2007 were: 1) continued investments in the promotion and development of inContact to bring these services to market; 2) $1.8 million of depreciation and amortization; and 3) $196,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense (Note 9).
Our working capital surplus of $1.6 million at December 31, 2006 decreased to $887,000 at March 31, 2007. The primarily reason for the decrease was a $1.3 million reduction in accounts payable that was offset by a $500,000 increase in the current portion of long-term debt. However, the available borrowings under our revolving credit facility increased $1.0 million to $3.2 million at March 31, 2007 compared to only $2.2 million available at December 31, 2006.
18
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to achieve successful operations.
We have taken the following actions to ensure that we will be able to meet its obligations:
| In February 2007, we closed two acquisitions (Note 3), which improve the overall product offering suite that the Company can offer to existing and potential customers. With these new products, we provide customers the ability to monitor agent effectiveness through its customer survey tools and the ability to efficiently monitor their agent needs. These new service offerings provide us additional contact and service opportunities to potential customers as well as provide up-sale opportunities to existing customers. During the first quarter, these acquisitions added an additional $535,000 of higher-margin inContact revenue. |
| Our inContact segment experienced its ninth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, which increased to $6.1 million during the quarter, a 105% increase from the same period in 2006. This increase is a result of the selling and promotion effort we have undertaken to bring these products to market. Revenue for the quarter increased over 30% compared to the same period in 2006. Excluding the $535,000 in revenue from the acquisitions, the segment increased 87% compared to the first quarter of 2006. We expect to continue to see significant revenue growth in the inContact segment in 2007, which we believe will be enhanced through the BenchmarkPortal and ScheduleQ acquisitions. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the inContact segment revenue of $6.1 million includes $3.9 million of related long distance voice and data services and $2.2 million of inContact technology services. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the inContact segment revenue of $3.0 million includes $2.3 million of long distance voice and data services and $700,000 of inContact technology services.
In addition, in April 2007, ComVest converted the entire $3.4 million convertible note balance into UCN common shares. This conversion will save us an estimated $468,000 in cash payments during 2007 and will significantly improve the current ratio in future periods by eliminating the associated current portion of long-term debt.
We believe these actions will allow us to have sufficient cash flows available to meet short-term requirements and to enable us to continue as a going concern.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
A summary of our other significant accounting policies is discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Significant areas of uncertainty that require judgments, estimates and assumptions include the accounting for derivatives, retirement plans, income taxes, environmental and other contingencies as well as asset impairment, inventory valuation and collectibility of accounts receivable. We use historical and other information that we consider to be relevant to make these judgments and estimates. However, actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare our financial statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of FIN 48: In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 ( FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that entities recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as components of income tax expense. The Companys adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 had no impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any uncertain income tax positions that would require adjustment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Issuance of SFAS 159: In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities, as well as, certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments, at fair value (the fair value option). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is selected for an instrument, the Statement specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Our cash equivalents are invested with high quality issuers and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Due to the short-term nature of the cash equivalents, we believe that we are not subject to any material interest rate risk as it relates to interest income. All outstanding debt instruments at March 31, 2007 have fixed interest rates and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
We did not have any foreign currency hedges or other derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2007. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments. Our operations are conducted in the United States and as such are not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
With the participation of management, UCNs chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated disclosure controls and procedures on March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in connection with UCNs filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 there have been no significant changes in UCNs internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses of internal controls that would require corrective action.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1985 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by UCN, except where such statements are made in connection with an initial public offering. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, which address activities, actions, goals, prospects, or new developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as expansion and growth of our operations and other such matters are forward-looking statements. Any one or a combination of factors could materially affect our operations and financial condition. These factors include competitive pressures, success or failure of marketing programs, changes in pricing and availability of services and products offered to customers, legal and regulatory initiatives affecting customer marketing and rebate programs or long distance service, and conditions in the capital markets. Forward-looking statements made by us are based on knowledge of our business and the environment in which we operate as of the date of this report. Because of the factors discussed below, as well as other factors set forth under the Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2006, actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements.
