Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010, and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in our opinion, are necessary for a fair statement of such financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission. Although we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading, it is recommended these unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the more detailed information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009, as filed with the Commission. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year due to inherent seasonality within the business, among other factors.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LodgeNet Interactive Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts reported in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation of revenue and related direct costs and operating expenses.

Note 3 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We have three reporting units, Hospitality, Advertising Services and Healthcare, for which only the Hospitality and Advertising Services units have goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. In 2007, we recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of StayOnline, On Command and minority interest of The Hotel Networks. The product lines of both StayOnline and On Command shared the same operating and economic characteristics as our pre-acquisition product lines, and were integrated into the Hospitality operating segment. The Hospitality operating segment is one reporting unit due to the fact its components are similar and share similar characteristics.

Our goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment at least annually or if there is a triggering event which indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. We perform our goodwill impairment test for each reporting unit annually during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing is not required for our finite-life intangibles unless there is a triggering event or change in circumstances which indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, such as a significant deterioration in market conditions. During the second quarter of 2010, we did not encounter events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets.

The carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment was as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

						Advertising
		Hospitality				Services				Total
Balance as of December 31, 2009
Goodwill		$	92,614			$	18,679			$	111,293
Accumulated impairment losses			—				(11,212	)			(11,212	)

Accumulated impairment losses			—				(11,212	)			(11,212	)
		$	92,614			$	7,467			$	100,081

We have intangible assets consisting of certain acquired technology, patents, trademarks, hotel contracts, customer relationships, studio agreements and licensee fees. These intangible assets have been deemed to have finite useful lives and are amortized over their current estimated useful lives, ranging from three to twenty years. We review the intangible assets for impairment when triggering events occur or change in circumstances, such as a significant deterioration in market conditions, warrant modifications to the carrying amount of the assets.

We have the following intangible assets (dollar amounts in thousands):

		June 30, 2010								December 31, 2009
		Carrying				Accumulated				Carrying				Accumulated
		Amount				Amortization				Amount				Amortization
Assets subject to amortization:
Acquired contracts and relationships		$	120,315			$	(20,792	)		$	120,315			$	(17,629	)
Other acquired intangibles			12,884				(12,477	)			12,884				(12,130	)
Tradenames			3,103				(1,875	)			3,094				(1,626	)
Acquired patents			5,146				(4,427	)			5,142				(4,009	)
		$	141,448			$	(39,571	)		$	141,435			$	(35,394	)

We recorded consolidated amortization expense of $4.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. We estimate total amortization expense for the six months remaining in 2010 and the years ending December 31, as follows (dollar amounts in millions): 2010 — $3.9; 2011 — $7.1; 2012 — $6.6; 2013 — $6.4; 2014 — $6.3 and 2015 — $6.2. Actual amounts may change from such estimated amounts due to additional intangible asset acquisitions, potential impairment, accelerated amortization or other events.

Note 4 — Earnings Per Share Computation

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”), which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares which have an anti-dilutive effect are excluded from diluted earnings per share.

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted additional provisions of FASB ASC Topic 260, which provide that unvested share-based payment awards which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. We determined our outstanding shares of non-vested restricted stock are participating securities.

The following table reflects the calculation of weighted average basic and fully diluted shares for the periods ended June 30. Dollar amounts are in thousands, except share data:

Bank Credit Facility ¾ In April 2007, we entered into a $675.0 million bank Credit Facility, comprised of a $625.0 million term loan, which matures in April 2014, and a $50.0 million revolving Credit Facility, which matures in April 2013. The term loan originally required quarterly repayments of $1,562,500, which began September 30, 2007. The required quarterly payments have been adjusted for the reduction in principal as a result of our early repayments against the loan, resulting in a quarterly payment requirement of $1,104,072. The term loan bears interest at our option of (1) the bank’s base rate plus a margin of 1.00% or (2) LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00%. The agreement provides that when our consolidated leverage ratio is below 3.25 times, the term loan bears interest at our option of (1) the bank’s base rate plus a margin of 0.75% or (2) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. The term loan is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Credit Facility includes terms and conditions which require compliance with the leverage and interest coverage covenants. As of June 30, 2010, our consolidated leverage ratio was 3.52 compared to the maximum allowable ratio of 3.75 and our consolidated interest coverage ratio was 3.21 compared to the minimum allowable ratio of 3.00. Our maximum consolidated leverage ratio will be 3.50 starting in the third quarter of 2010 to maturity in 2014. Our minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio will continue to be 3.00 to maturity in 2014. The Credit Facility also requires we notify the agent upon the occurrence of a “Material Adverse Effect” prior to any draw on the Company’s revolving Credit Facility, as such terms are defined and used within our bank Credit Facility. However, under the Credit Facility, the provision of such a notice is not an event of default, but if such an event occurred, it could restrict the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing under the revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also stipulates we enter into hedge agreements to provide at least 50% of the outstanding term loan into a fixed interest rate for a period not less than two years. We have entered into fixed rate swap agreements for $437.5 million of the outstanding term loan, with fixed interest rates ranging from 4.97% to 5.09% (see Note 14). The term loan interest rate as of June 30, 2010 was 2.54%. The all-in weighted average interest rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was 7.28%, which includes both the term loan interest rate and the difference in the swaps’ fixed interest rate versus LIBOR. As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants required of our bank Credit Facility.

Our ability to remain in compliance with those covenants will depend on our ability to generate sufficient Adjusted Operating Cash Flow (a term defined in our Credit Facility), to manage our level of capital investment and to continue to reduce our debt. We continue taking actions within our control to reduce our debt and remain in compliance with our debt covenants. The actions within our control include our prudent management of capital investment and operating costs and exploring other alternatives, which may include seeking an amendment to our Credit Facility, raising additional capital or reductions in our operating expenses. Our ability to continue to comply with these covenants is subject to the general economic climate and business conditions beyond our control. Although there are signs of stabilization in certain sectors of the economy, the uncertainties impacting travel and lodging, in addition to the constraints in the credit markets, consumer conservatism and other market dynamics, may continue to negatively impact our planned results and required covenants. If we are not able to remain in compliance with the debt covenants, it will likely have a significant, unfavorable impact on our business and financial condition and we may need to amend the Credit Facility to seek a waiver of the covenants. An amendment to the Credit Facility may significantly increase our interest costs, add upfront fees or modify other terms less favorable to us than we currently have in our Credit Facility. In the event our lenders will not amend or waive the covenants, the debt would be due and we would need to seek alternative financing. We cannot provide assurance we would be able to obtain alternative financing. If we were not able to secure alternative financing, this would have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.

During the first quarter of 2010, we made an additional prepayment of $44.0 million on the term loan, in addition to the required payment of $1.3 million, and we wrote off $0.5 million of related debt issuance costs. In March 2010, we received net proceeds of $13.7 million from a common stock offering, which were used as part of our additional prepayment on the term loan. The common stock offering is discussed in more detail in Note 16. During the second quarter of 2010, we made an additional prepayment of $22.2 million on the term loan, in addition to the required payment of $1.2 million, and we wrote off $0.3 million of related debt issuance costs. As a result of our previous repayments, our required quarterly payments have been reduced to $1.1 million, effective September 2010.

In March 2009, in addition to the required quarterly payment of $1.5 million, we prepaid $6.7 million on the term loan, and acquired, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, $31.5 million of outstanding debt as part of our debt reduction initiative. We recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $9.3 million and wrote off $0.5 million of related debt issuance costs. In June 2009, we made our required quarterly payment of $1.5 million and received net proceeds of $53.7 million from our preferred stock offering. We used $27.7 million of those proceeds to make an additional prepayment on the term loan in July 2009. The preferred stock offering is discussed in more detail in Note 15. We did not make any additional prepayments in the second quarter of 2009.

The Credit Facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit up to $15.0 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. As of June 30, 2010, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $395,000, which reduce amounts available under the revolver. During the second quarter of 2010, we borrowed $8.0 million under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility and repaid the entire amount as of June 30, 2010.

Capital Leases — As of June 30, 2010, we have total capital lease obligations of $1.5 million. We acquired approximately $156,000 of equipment under capital lease arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our capital lease obligations consist primarily of vehicles used in our field service operations.

As of June 30, 2010, long-term debt has the following scheduled maturities for the six months remaining in 2010 and the full years ending December 31, 2011 and after (dollar amounts in thousands):

		2010				2011				2012				2013				2014
Long-term debt		$	2,208			$	4,416			$	4,416			$	4,416			$	387,913
Capital leases			516				743				329				56				18
			2,724				5,159				4,745				4,472				387,931

		$	2,679			$	5,108			$	4,729			$	4,469			$	387,930

We do not utilize special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financial arrangements.

Note 7 — Comprehensive Income

FASB ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” provides standards for reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income reflects the changes in equity during a period from transactions related to our interest rate swap arrangements and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income was as follows for the periods ended June 30 (dollar amounts in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Net (loss) income		$	(3,145	)		$	(5,213	)		$	(5,647	)		$	745
Foreign currency translation adjustment			(546	)			1,430				50				679
Unrealized gain on interest rate swap agreements			5,808				5,182				8,904				7,843
Comprehensive income		$	2,117			$	1,399			$	3,307			$	9,267

Components of accumulated other comprehensive loss as shown on our Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

		June 30,				December 31,
		2010				2009
Unrealized loss on interest rate swap agreements		$	(17,719	)		$	(26,623	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment			2,448				2,398
Accumulated other comprehensive loss		$	(15,271	)		$	(24,225	)

Note 8 — Statements of Cash Flows

Cash is comprised of demand deposits. Cash paid for interest was $16.0 million and $19.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Cash paid for taxes was $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note 9 — Share-Based Compensation

We account for our stock option and incentive plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which require the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006 and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of this Topic.

The following amounts were recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for share-based compensation plans for the periods ended June 30 (dollar amounts in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Compensation cost:
Stock options		$	366			$	348			$	678			$	519
Restricted stock			282				322				282				423
Total share based compensation expense		$	648			$	670			$	960			$	942

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash received from stock option exercises was $41,000 and in 2009, there was no cash received from stock option exercises. Due to our net operating loss tax position, we did not recognize a tax benefit from options exercised under the share-based payment arrangements. The amounts presented in the table above are included as non-cash compensation in our cash flow from operating activities.

Stock Options

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we granted 35,000 stock options to non-employee directors of the Company, and we granted 30,000 stock options to certain officers. The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the options issued during the year was the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions, including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate and the weighted average expected life of the options. We do not pay dividends on our common stock; therefore, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes-Merton model is zero.

Restricted Stock

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we awarded 66,500 shares of time-based restricted stock to our non-employee directors and 20,000 shares of time-based restricted stock to certain officers, both grants pursuant to our 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The shares awarded to our non-employee directors vested 50% at the date of grant and will vest 50% on the one year anniversary of the date of grant. The shares awarded to certain officers will vest over four years from the date of grant, with 50% vested at the end of year three and 50% vested at the end of year four. The fair value of the restricted stock is equal to the fair market value, as defined by the terms of the 2003 Plan, on the date of grant and is amortized ratably over the vesting period. In the second quarter of 2010, we did not issue any performance-based restricted stock.

Note 10 — Restructuring

As a result of our previous restructuring initiatives related to our post acquisition activities, and the uncertain economy, we incurred $239,000 and $242,000 of costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $75,000 and $181,000 of costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. All costs are included in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We estimate additional expenses charged to restructuring over the next twelve to eighteen months, primarily recurring facilities expenses related to the post acquisition restructuring and reduction in force initiatives noted above, will be in the range of $100,000 to $500,000. Additional accruals and cash payments related to the restructuring activities are dependent upon execution of additional subleasing arrangements or reduction in force, which could change our expense estimates.

The above restructuring activities primarily occurred within our Hospitality and Advertising Services business. Liabilities associated with our restructuring activities to date, along with charges to expense and cash payments, were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

						Cost of closing
		Severance and				redundant
		other benefit				acquired
		related costs				facilities				Total
December 31, 2009 balance		$	336			$	422			$	758
Charges to expense			199				43				242
Cash payments			(198	)			(222	)			(420	)
June 30, 2010 balance		$	337			$	243			$	580

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements

We follow the fair value measurement and disclosure provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” relating to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. FASB ASC Topic 820 includes a fair value hierarchy, which is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques, which are used to measure fair value and which are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — The estimated carrying and fair values of our financial instruments in the financial statements are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

		June 30, 2010								December 31, 2009
		Carrying				Fair				Carrying				Fair
		Amount				Value				Amount				Value
Interest rate swaps — liability position		$	19,188			$	19,188			$	26,623			$	26,623
Long-term debt		$	404,915			$	367,281			$	469,946			$	421,976

The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on current interest rates for similar debt of the same remaining maturities and quoted market prices, except for capital leases, which are reported at carrying value. For our capital leases, the carrying value approximates the fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swaps (used for purposes other than trading) is the estimated amount we would have to pay to terminate the swap agreement at the reporting date.

The fair value of our long-term debt is strictly hypothetical and not indicative of what we are required to pay under the terms of our debt instruments. The fair value of the swap agreements is recognized in other long-term liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) if the hedge is effective. We plan to hold the swap agreements to maturity. As a result of our additional payments on the Credit Facility, a portion of our swap arrangements was rendered ineffective (see Note 14).

The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instruments by the fair value hierarchy described above as of the valuation date listed (dollar amounts in thousands):

						Quoted Prices				Significant
						in Active				Other				Significant
		Total				Markets for				Observable				Unobservable
		Fair Value				Identical Asset				Inputs				Inputs
		Measurement				(Level 1)				(Level 2)				(Level 3)
Year Ended December 31, 2009:
Interest rate swaps — liability position		$	26,623			$	—			$	26,623			$	—
Six Months Ended June 30, 2010:
Interest rate swaps — liability position		$	19,188			$	—			$	19,188			$	—

We estimated the fair value of the interest rate swaps based on mid-market data from a third party provider. We periodically review and validate this data on an independent basis. The fair value determination also included consideration of nonperformance risk, which did not have a material impact on the fair value at June 30, 2010.

Nonfinancial Assets and Nonfinancial Liabilities — Certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis could include nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value in the goodwill impairment tests and intangible assets and other nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. There was no triggering event which warranted an evaluation of impairment; therefore, there were no nonfinancial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Note 12 — Market Conditions

Due to current economic conditions, our business could be adversely impacted by conditions affecting the lodging industry’s performance. Our results are closely linked to the performance of the lodging industry, where occupancy rates may fluctuate as a result of various factors. The percentage of occupied rooms that buy movies and other services at the property also varies over time with general economic conditions, including, but not limited to, consumer sentiment, and other factors. Reduction in hotel occupancy, resulting from the general economic environment or other changes in market conditions, such as a recession or significant slow-down in economic activity, or significant international crises, could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. The overall travel industry can be, and has been in the past, adversely affected by weaker general economic climates, geopolitical instability and concerns about public health. Factors such as the cost of fuel, airline fares and other economic conditions which result in a decrease in business or leisure travel can affect hotel occupancy and the demand for some of our products and services. Also, our goodwill and intangible assets may be impaired if market conditions deteriorate.

Note 13 — Segment Information

We operate in three reportable segments, Hospitality, Advertising Services and Healthcare. We identify our segments based upon the products and services delivered and the nature of our customer base receiving those products and services. The Hospitality business distributes entertainment, media and connectivity services to the hospitality industry. Our Advertising Services business generates revenue from the sale of advertising-based media services within our hospitality customer base, utilizing the same server based technology or by the delivery of advertising using 10 television programming channels. Our Healthcare business generates revenue from the sale of interactive system hardware, software licenses, installation services and related programming and support agreements to the healthcare market.

Our Hospitality and Advertising Services businesses provide a variety of services to hotels and/or the respective hotels’ guests. The products can include interactive video-on-demand programming, music, games, cable television programming, Internet services or advertising services, and have an analogous consumer base. All products and services are delivered through a proprietary system platform utilizing satellite delivery technology, and are geared towards the hotels and their guests.

Previously, our Advertising Services and Healthcare segments had been presented as “Other,” in one aggregated reportable segment based on relative size. Revenue and operating profit amounts reported in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Financial information related to our reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

Note 14 — Derivative Information

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities.” This guidance requires additional disclosures regarding a company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also requires disclosure of derivative features which are credit risk-related, as well as cross-referencing within the notes to the financial statements to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments, financial performance and cash flows.

We are required by our Credit Facility to convert 50% of the outstanding term loan into a fixed interest rate for a period not less than two years. Our objective of entering into hedge transactions (or interest rate swaps) using derivative financial instruments is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate loans and comply with the terms of our Credit Facility. As changes in interest rates impact future interest payments, the hedges provide an offset to the rate changes. As of June 30, 2010, we had entered into fixed rate swap agreements for $437.5 million at an average interest rate of 5.05%.

In April 2007, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional values of $312.5 million, at a fixed rate of 5.09%, and $125.0 million, at a fixed rate of 4.97%, both of which expire in June 2011. These swap arrangements effectively change the underlying debt from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the term of the swap agreements. All of the swap agreements have been issued by Credit Suisse International. The swap agreements were designated as, and met the criteria for, cash flow hedges and are not considered speculative in nature.

Our additional payments on the Credit Facility rendered a portion of the $125.0 million notional amount swap, entered into in April 2007 and expiring in June 2011, ineffective. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of this cash flow hedge was a loss of $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and was recognized in interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The charge is a non-cash charge and does not impact the amount of cash interest paid during the quarter.

A summary of the aggregate contractual or notional amounts, balance sheet location and estimated fair values of our derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2010 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Note 15 — Perpetual Preferred Stock

In June 2009, we completed our offering of 57,500 shares (inclusive of the initial purchaser’s option to purchase the additional 7,500 shares), bringing the total aggregate liquidation preference of the preferred stock sold to $57.5 million.

Subject to the declaration of dividends by our Board of Directors, cumulative dividends on the preferred stock will be paid at a rate of 10% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share, starting from the date of original issue, June 29, 2009. Dividends accumulate quarterly in arrears on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2009. Payments must come from funds legally available for dividend payments.

Dividends were declared on the preferred stock by our Board of Directors on July 7, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, we had $1.4 million of unpaid dividends. The dividends were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital, due to our accumulated deficit balance. The dividends were paid on July 15, 2010.

Note 16 — Common Stock Offering

In March 2010, we entered into an agreement to sell 2,160,000 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, to Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC (Underwriter), for resale to the public at a price per share of $6.00, less an underwriting discount of $0.36 per share. The Underwriter had an option to purchase up to 324,000 additional shares of common stock at the same price per share to cover overallotments. We completed our offering of 2,484,000 shares (inclusive of the Underwriter’s option to purchase the additional 324,000 shares), bringing the total aggregate common stock sold to $14.9 million. Net proceeds from the issuance of common stock were $13.7 million, with offering and related costs totaling $1.2 million.

Note 17 — Legal Proceedings

We are subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe the resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 11, 2008, Linksmart Wireless Technology, LLC, a California limited liability company based in Pasadena, California, filed several actions for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court in Marshall, Texas. The suits allege the Company and numerous other defendants infringe a patent issued on August 17, 2004 entitled “User Specific Automatic Data Redirection System.” All pending cases have been consolidated. The complaint does not specify an amount in controversy. The Company believes it does not infringe the patent in question, has filed responsive pleadings and is vigorously defending the action. The defendants in the case have also entered into a joint defense agreement to allow them to share information and certain costs related to the lawsuit. The suit is in the discovery stage. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has undertaken a re-examination of the patent which is the subject of this suit, and issued a preliminary finding that the patent is invalid. On June 30, 2010, the Court, through the Magistrate Judge, issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order (the “Markman Order”), which construed certain disputed terms in the patent at issue in the case. The plaintiff and several defendants have filed objections with the Court for review of various portions of the Order. On July 1, 2010, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation that the Court grant the motion of the defendants for summary judgment with respect to claims 15, 16, 17, 19, 22 and 23 of the patent on grounds that such claims in the patent are indefinite and invalid. The plaintiff has filed objections with the Court for review of report and recommendation regarding summary judgment.

On November 17, 2009, Nomadix, Inc., a Delaware corporation based in Newbury Park, California, filed an action for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles, California. The suit alleges the Company and its subsidiaries On Command Corporation and LodgeNet StayOnline, Inc. infringe five patents: a patent issued October 10, 2000 entitled “Nomadic Translator or Router,” a patent issued on August 6, 2006 entitled “System and Method for Establishing Network Connection with Unknown User or Device,” a patent issued on June 30, 2009 entitled “System and Method for Establishing Network Connection with Unknown Network and/or User Device,” a patent issued on October 21, 2003 entitled “Systems and Methods for Redirecting Users Having Transparent Computer Access to a Network Using a Gateway Device Having Redirection Capability,” and a patent issued on March 15, 2005 entitled “Systems and Methods for Integrating a Network Gateway Device with Management Systems.” The complaint also asserts claims under the above-mentioned patents and additional patents against a number of other defendants, including Hewlett-Packard Company, Wayport, Inc., Ibahn Corporation, Guest-Tek Interactive Entertainment Ltd. and Guest-Tek Entertainment Inc., Aruba Networks, Inc., Superclick, Inc. and Superclick Networks, Inc. Nomadix, Inc. also filed a similar action in the same court against SolutionInc. It is anticipated all pending cases will be consolidated. The complaint does not specify an amount in controversy. The Company believes it does not infringe the patents in questions, has filed responsive pleadings and is vigorously defending the action.

Note 18 — Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” which is now codified under FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” This ASU establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable; eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method; and requires a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner consistent with that used to determine the selling price of the deliverable on a standalone basis. The ASU also significantly expands the required disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. FASB ASU No. 2009-13 is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect from the adoption of this ASU on our current and future business models. Depending on how we sell and deliver future systems and services, this ASU could have an effect on the timing of revenue recognition and our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2009-14, “Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements,” which is now codified under FASB ASC Topic 985, “Software.” This ASU changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements which include both tangible products and software elements, providing guidance on how to determine which software, if any, relating to the tangible product would be excluded from the scope of the software revenue guidance. FASB ASU No. 2009-14 is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect from the adoption of this ASU on our current and future business models. Depending on how we sell and deliver future systems and services, this ASU could have an effect on the timing of revenue recognition and our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which is now codified under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” This ASU will require additional disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as a reconciliation of activity in Level 3 on a gross basis (rather than as one net number). The ASU also provides clarification on disclosures about the level of disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities and on disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. FASB ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures requiring a reconciliation of activity in Level 3. Those disclosures will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the portion of this ASU effective after December 15, 2009 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The adoption of the portion of this ASU effective after December 15, 2010 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU No. 2010-17, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition,” which is now codified under FASB ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” This ASU provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. Consideration which is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety can be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. A milestone should be considered substantive in its entirety, and an individual milestone may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may include more than one milestone, and each milestone should be evaluated individually to determine if it is substantive. FASB ASU 2010-17 was effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years (and interim periods within those years) beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. If an entity elects early adoption, and the period of adoption is not the beginning of its fiscal year, the entity should apply this ASU retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. Entities may also elect to adopt the amendments retrospectively for all prior periods. We are evaluating the effect from the adoption of this ASU on our current and future business models. Depending on how we sell and deliver future systems and services, this ASU could have an effect on the timing of revenue recognition and our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Executive Overview

We are the largest provider of interactive media and connectivity solutions to the hospitality industry in the United States, Canada and Mexico. We also provide interactive television solutions in select international markets, primarily through local or regional licensees. As of June 30, 2010, we provided interactive media and connectivity solutions to approximately 1.9 million hotel rooms. In addition, we sell and maintain interactive television systems which provide on-demand patient education, information and entertainment to healthcare facilities throughout the United States. As of June 30, 2010, our system was installed in 52 healthcare facilities, representing approximately 10,900 beds.

During the quarter, our strategic focus continued to be on driving free cash flow and reducing debt. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure which we define as cash provided by operating activities less cash used for investing activities, including growth-related capital, increased 55.7%, to 22.6 million in the current quarter compared to $14.5 million in the prior year quarter. We reduced our long-term debt by $22.1 million, or 5.2%, during the current quarter. Quarter over quarter, other profitability metrics also improved, including operating income increasing 29.9%, loss per share improving 21.7% and revenue from our diversification initiatives, which focus on non-Guest Entertainment revenue, was at 41.7% of total revenue. During the quarter, our gross profit margin increased 40 basis points, to 44.4%. We continue to manage our business conservatively by controlling operating expenses and capital spending and paying down our debt to position us for long-term sustained growth. We believe our strategic initiatives are positioning us well for solid future revenue and enhancements to shareholder value.

During the quarter, we unveiled Envision, our latest innovation delivering the high-definition interactive platform through cloud-connected interactive television (“iTV”). Envision will connect hotel guests to interactive information and entertainment, and will connect hoteliers to their guests using one-to-one marketing applications. Our advanced interactive applications eCompendium and eConcierge include services such as the ability of the hotel to sell, manage and post local advertising, communicate hotel and meeting events and provide wakeup services, all through the guest room television. Hotels can also earn revenue through new transactional apps such as eTickets and ePurchases, designed to fulfill guest needs. The television now has the potential to become more than just in-room entertainment; it can be a dynamic platform for hoteliers to use in building guest relationships which will provide them value in a number of ways. We believe Envision represents a significant revenue growth opportunity, as it enables new subscription and transactional-based revenues.

Our total revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $113.1 million, a decrease of $8.9 million or 7.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in revenue was from Guest Entertainment, Healthcare and System Sales and Related Services, partially offset by increases in revenue from Advertising Services and Hotel Services.

Hospitality and Advertising Services revenue, which includes Guest Entertainment, Hotel Services, System Sales and Related Services and Advertising Services, decreased $7.9 million or 6.6%, to $111.7 million for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to $119.6 million for the prior year quarter. Average monthly revenue per room generated by Hospitality and Advertising Services was $21.22 for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of 2.2% as compared to $21.69 per room in the second quarter of 2009.

Guest Entertainment revenue, which includes on-demand entertainment such as movies, television on-demand, music and games, decreased $9.0 million or 12.0%, to $66.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. Our results continued to be driven by the conservative consumer buying pattern of travelers, as average monthly Guest Entertainment revenue per room for the second quarter of 2010 declined 7.8% to $12.54 compared to $13.60 for the second quarter of 2009. Average monthly movie revenue per room was $11.68 for the second quarter of 2010, an 8.5% reduction as compared to $12.77 per room in the prior year quarter. Hotel Services revenue, which includes recurring revenue from hotels for cable television programming and broadband Internet service and support, increased $0.8 million or 2.5%, to $34.1 million during the second quarter of 2010 versus $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. On a per-room basis, monthly Hotel Services revenue for the second quarter of 2010 increased 7.3% to $6.48 compared to $6.04 for the second quarter of 2009. Monthly cable television programming revenue per room increased 8.0% to $5.92 for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to $5.48 for the second quarter of 2009. These increases resulted primarily from the continued installation of high definition television systems and additional cable television programming services. Recurring broadband Internet revenue per room was flat at $0.56 quarter over quarter. System Sales and Related Services revenue, which includes revenue from the sales of cable television programming equipment, broadband Internet equipment, HDTV installations and other services to hotels, decreased $0.6 million or 6.4%, to $9.0 million during the second quarter of 2010 versus $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease was primarily from lower sales and installations of broadband systems. Advertising Services revenue, generated by The Hotel Networks (“THN”), our advertising services subsidiary, increased $0.9 million or 52.1%, to $2.6 million during the second quarter of 2010 compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in channel access fees and general advertising revenue, as national advertisers expanded their ad buys on our system.

Healthcare revenue, which includes the sale of interactive systems and services to healthcare facilities, decreased $1.0 million or 41.3%, to $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2010 versus $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2009. During the current quarter, we installed two facilities and 598 beds compared to five facilities and 1,107 beds in the prior year period. We have six signed healthcare contracts in our backlog currently waiting installation.

Total direct costs (exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization discussed separately below) were $62.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of $5.4 million or 7.9%, as compared to $68.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in total direct costs was primarily due to decreased commissions and royalties of $4.4 million, which vary with revenue. Partially offsetting the reduction was an increase in incremental cable television programming costs of $0.6 million, which vary with the number of rooms served and the services provided. For the second quarter of 2010, total direct costs as a percentage of revenue was 55.6% as compared to 56.0% for the second quarter of 2009.

System operations expenses and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $22.7 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of total revenue, system operations expenses were 9.4% this quarter as compared to 9.0% in the second quarter of 2009. Per average installed room, system operations expenses increased to $2.02 per room per month this quarter as compared to $2.00 in the prior year quarter. The increases in total operating expenses were primarily the result of higher legal and professional fees, business travel costs and repairs and maintenance costs, partially offset by lower property taxes.

Despite the revenue decline, we generated $27.0 million of cash from operating activities as compared to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. In June 2010, we made the required quarterly payment of $1.2 million on the term loan and also made an additional payment of $22.2 million. During the second quarter of 2009, we made only the required term loan repayment of $1.5 million, and did not make any additional payments. The leverage ratio at the end of this quarter, calculated on a consolidated debt basis, was 3.52 times versus the covenant of 3.75 times. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in working capital. Cash as of June 30, 2010 was $8.8 million compared to $61.2 million on June 30, 2009. The increased balance as of June 30, 2009 was due to the net proceeds from the preferred stock offering of $53.7 million.

Hospitality and Advertising Services Business

Our Hospitality and Advertising Services business includes television contents sold to hotels and/or the respective hotels’ guests. The products can include interactive video-on-demand (VOD), cable television programming, Internet services or advertising services, and have an analogous consumer base. All products and services are delivered through a proprietary system platform having related satellite communication technology, and are geared towards the hotels and their guests.

Guest Entertainment (includes purchases for on-demand movies, network-based video games, music and music videos and television on-demand programming). Our primary source of revenue is providing in-room, interactive guest entertainment, for which the hotel guest pays on a per-view, hourly or daily basis.

Our total guest generated revenue depends on a number of factors, including:

•		The number of rooms on our network. We can increase revenue over time by increasing the number of rooms served by our interactive television systems. Our ability to expand our room base is dependent on a number of factors, including newly constructed hotel properties and the attractiveness of our technology, service and support to hotels currently operating without an interactive television system.
•		The occupancy rate at the property. Our revenue also varies depending on hotel occupancy rates, which are subject to a number of factors, including seasonality, general economic conditions and world events, such as terrorist threats or public health issues. Occupancy rates for the properties we serve are typically higher during the second and third quarters due to seasonal travel patterns. We target higher occupancy properties in diverse demographic and geographic locations in an effort to mitigate occupancy-related risks.

•		The popularity, timeliness and amount of content offered at the hotel. Our revenues vary, to a certain degree, with the number, timeliness and popularity of movie content available for viewing, and whether the content is presented in digital or analog format. Historically, a decrease in the availability of popular movie content has adversely impacted revenue, and the availability of high definition content has increased revenue. Although not completely within our control, we seek to program and promote the most popular available movie content and other content to maximize revenue and profitability.
•		The price of the service purchased by the hotel guest. Generally, we control the prices charged for our products and services and manage pricing in an effort to maximize revenue and overall profitability. We establish pricing based on such things as the demographics of the property served, the popularity of the content and overall general economic conditions. Our technology enables us to measure the popularity of our content and make decisions to best position such content and optimize revenue from such content.
•		The availability of alternative programming . We compete directly for customers with a variety of other interactive service providers, including other interactive television service providers, cable television companies, direct broadcast satellite companies, television networks and programmers, Internet service providers and portals, technology consulting and service firms, companies offering web sites which provide on-demand movies, rental companies providing DVDs which can be viewed in properly equipped hotel rooms or on other portable viewing devices and hotels which offer in-room laptops with Internet access or other types of Internet access systems. We also compete, in varying degrees, with other leisure-time activities such as movie theaters, the Internet, radio, print media, personal computers and other alternative sources of entertainment and information.
•		Consumer sentiment. The willingness of guests to purchase our entertainment services is also impacted by the general economic environment and its impact on consumer sentiment. Historically, such impacts were not generally material to our revenue results; however, since the last half of 2008, the deteriorating economic conditions have had a significant, negative impact on our revenue levels. As economic conditions improve in the future, guest purchase activity may or may not increase to the same levels previously experienced by the Company.

The primary direct costs of providing Guest Entertainment are:

•		license fees paid to major motion picture studios, which are variable and based on a percent of guest-generated revenue, for non-exclusive distribution rights of recently released major motion pictures;
•		commissions paid to our hotel customers, which are also variable and based on a percent of guest-generated revenue;
•		license fees, which are based on a percent of guest-generated revenue, for television on-demand, music, music videos, video games and sports programming; and
•		one-time license fees paid for independent films, most of which are non-rated and intended for mature audiences.

Hotel Services (includes revenue from hotels for services such as television channels and recurring broadband Internet service and support to the hotels). Another major source of our revenue is providing cable television programming and Internet services to the lodging industry, for which the hotel pays a fixed monthly fee.

•

Cable Television Programming. We offer a wide variety of satellite-delivered cable television programming paid for by the hotel and provided to guests at no charge. The cable television programming is delivered via satellite, pursuant to an agreement with DIRECTV ® , and is distributed over the internal hotel network, and typically includes premium channels such as HBO and Showtime, which broadcast major motion pictures and specialty programming, as well as non-premium channels, such as CNN and ESPN. With the launch of the high-definition configuration of our interactive television system, we also began offering high-definition cable television programming to the extent available from broadcast sources and DIRECTV.

•

Broadband Internet Access, Service and Support. We also design, install and operate wired and wireless broadband Internet access systems at hotel properties. These systems control access to the Internet, provide bandwidth management tools and allow hotels to charge or provide the access as a guest amenity. Post-installation, we generate recurring revenue through the ongoing maintenance, service and call center support services to hotel properties installed by us and also to hotel properties installed by other providers. While this is a highly competitive area, we believe we have important advantages as a result of our proactive monitoring interface with hotel systems to improve up time, existing hotel customer relationships and our nationwide field service network.

System Sales and Related Services. We also generate revenue from other products and services within the hotel and lodging industry, including sales of Internet access and other interactive television systems and equipment, cable television programming reception equipment, Internet conference services, and professional services, such as design, project management and installation services.

Advertising Services . We deliver advertising-supported media into select hotel segments, from which we earn revenue from the sale of television commercials, channel access or other marketing based programs. The demographic and professional profile of the traveler within our room base tends to have characteristics we believe may be attractive to consumer marketing organizations. By approaching guests with relevant messaging when they are in the comfort of a hotel room, free of distractions, advertisers have a prime opportunity to capture the attention of and connect with these desired consumers. In addition to market demands, our revenue is also dependent on rooms available to promote customer products and services. As of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, we provided advertising media services to approximately 1.2 million hotel rooms. We also deliver targeted advertising to more than 360,000 hotel rooms on 10 popular satellite-delivered channels.

Key Metrics:

Rooms Served

One of the metrics we monitor within our Hospitality and Advertising Services business is the number of rooms we serve for our various services. As of June 30, we had the following number of rooms installed with the designated service:

		June 30,
		2010				2009
Total rooms served (1)			1,888,287				1,956,562
Total Guest Entertainment rooms (2)			1,738,311				1,827,636
Total HD rooms (3)			246,739				210,262
Percent of Total Guest Entertainment rooms			14.2	%			11.5	%
Total Cable Television Programming (FTG) rooms (4)			1,070,081				1,104,660
Percent of Total Guest Entertainment rooms			61.6	%			60.4	%
Total Broadband Internet rooms (5)			195,294				219,260
Percent of Total rooms served			10.3	%			11.2	%

The decline in Guest Entertainment rooms is driven by removal of certain tape-based and standard-definition systems which do not meet our economic criteria for conversion to high-definition and the availability of new rooms through hotel construction has been reduced due to the slower growth in the overall hotel industry.

High Definition Room Growth

We also track the penetration of our high-definition television (HDTV) system, since rooms equipped with HDTV services typically generate higher revenue from Guest Entertainment and Hotel Services than rooms equipped with our standard-definition VOD systems. HDTV room growth occurs as we install our HDTV system in newly contracted rooms and convert certain existing rooms to the HDTV system in exchange for contract extensions. The installation of an HDTV system typically requires a capital investment by both the Company and the hotel operator. HDTV growth has been constrained by reduced hotel capital spending budgets given the negative impact of the economy on the hospitality industry. The Company remains focused on continuing the rollout of high-definition systems within the capital constraints of the hotels and the Company’s conservative operating plan. We installed our systems in the following number of net new rooms and had the following total rooms installed as of June 30:

		June 30,
		2010				2009
Net new HDTV rooms for the three months ended			6,592				10,747
Net new HDTV rooms for the six months ended			14,988				18,546
Total HDTV rooms installed			246,739				210,262
HDTV rooms as a percent of total Guest Entertainment rooms			14.2	%			11.5	%

HDTV rooms, including new installations and major upgrades, are equipped with high-definition capabilities.

Capital Investment Per Installed Room

The average investment per room associated with an installation can fluctuate due to the type of interactive television system installed, engineering efforts, component costs, product segmentation, cost of assembly and installation, average property size, certain fixed costs and hotel capital contributions. The following table sets forth our average installation and conversion investment cost per room during the periods ended:

		Three Months Ended								Years Ended
		June 30,				June 30,				December 31,				December 31,
		2010				2009				2009				2008
Average cost per HD room — new installation		$	269			$	320			$	339			$	398
Average cost per HD room — conversion		$	186			$	266			$	241			$	320

The decrease in the average cost per new and converted HD rooms from 2008 to 2010 was primarily driven by a larger average room size for properties installed, lower component and overhead costs and hotels contributing a greater share of total installation costs through purchases of systems and equipment.

Average Revenue Per Room

We monitor the average revenue we generate per Hospitality and Advertising Services room. Guest Entertainment revenue can fluctuate based on several factors, including occupancy, consumer sentiment, mix of travelers, the availability of high definition and alternative programming, the popularity of movie content, the mix of services purchased and the overall economic environment. During the quarter, occupancy increased approximately 7.9% as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Hotel Services revenue can fluctuate based on the percentage of our hotels purchasing cable television programming services from us, the type of services provided at each site, as well as the number of hotels purchasing broadband service and support from us. System Sales and Related Services revenue can fluctuate based on the number of system and equipment sales, including broadband system sales. Advertising Services revenue can fluctuate based on the demand for advertising and the performance of products and services sold to business and leisure travelers, as well as the number of rooms available to promote within. The following table sets forth the components of our Hospitality and Advertising Services revenue per room for the three and six months ended June 30:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Average monthly revenue per room:
Hospitality and Advertising Services
Guest Entertainment		$	12.54			$	13.60			$	12.76			$	13.66
Hotel Services			6.48				6.04				6.48				5.98
System Sales and Related Services			1.71				1.74				1.76				2.18
Advertising Services			0.49				0.31				0.47				0.31
Total Hospitality and Advertising Services revenue per room		$	21.22			$	21.69			$	21.47			$	22.13

Direct Costs

Guest Entertainment direct costs vary based on content license fees, the mix of Guest Entertainment products purchased and the commission earned by the hotel. Hotel Services direct costs include the cost of cable television programming and the cost of broadband Internet support services. The cost of System Sales and Related Services primarily includes the cost of the systems and equipment sold to hotels. Advertising Services direct costs include the cost of developing and distributing programming. The overall direct cost margin primarily varies based on the composition of revenue. The following table sets forth our Hospitality and Advertising Services direct expenses per room for the three and six months ended June 30:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Direct costs per room:
Hospitality and Advertising Services
Guest Entertainment		$	4.78			$	5.42			$	4.99			$	5.46
Hotel Services			5.63				5.22				5.61				5.23
System Sales and Related Services			1.15				1.21				1.18				1.54
Advertising Services			0.26				0.28				0.26				0.28
Total Hospitality and Advertising Services direct costs per room		$	11.82			$	12.13			$	12.04			$	12.51

The average direct cost per Guest Entertainment room varies with revenue and, from 2009 to 2010, was driven by the amount of commissions earned by the hotels and a change in the mix of products purchased.

Healthcare Business

The healthcare market in the United States consists of approximately 900,000 hospital beds across 5,900 facilities. We believe most hospitals currently do not have any form of interactive television services. The main interests in interactive television services include driving patient satisfaction; providing robust patient education with comprehensive reporting; and operation efficiencies and cost savings for automating processes, such as integrated food ordering. Our Healthcare revenue is generated through a variety of services and solutions provided to care facilities, including:

•		revenue generated from the sale of the interactive system hardware, software license and installation services;
•		revenue from the sale and installation of DIRECTV satellite equipment and related programming;
•		revenue from recurring support agreements for interactive content, software maintenance and technical field service support, including service agreements covering cable plant, DIRECTV satellite equipment and interactive systems; and
•		revenue generated from cable plant design, modification and installation, as well as television installation services.

As of June 30, 2010, we have equipped 52 healthcare facilities, or approximately 10,900 beds, with these services and solutions to improve the overall patient experience, as compared to 39 properties or approximately 8,500 beds as of June 30, 2009.

General Operations

Total Operating Expenses

We also monitor and manage the operating expenses per room. System operations expenses consist of costs directly related to the operation and maintenance of systems at hotel sites. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) primarily include payroll costs, share based compensation, engineering development costs and legal, marketing, professional and compliance costs. The following table sets forth the components of our operating expenses per room for the three and six months ended June 30:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Systems operations expenses		$	2.02			$	2.00			$	2.00			$	1.93
SG&A expenses			2.34				2.12				2.31				2.03
Depreciation and amortization (D&A)			3.98				4.77				4.07				4.81
Restructuring charge			0.05				—				0.02				0.02
Other operating income, net			—				(0.01	)			—				(0.02	)

Special Note Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we use free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure derived from results based on GAAP. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation of, or as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, as cash provided by operating activities less cash used for certain investing activities, including growth related capital. Free cash flow is a key liquidity measure, but should not be construed as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of our profitability or performance. We provide information about free cash flow because we believe it is a useful way for us, and our investors, to measure our ability to satisfy cash needs, including interest payments on our debt, taxes and capital expenditures. GAAP requires us to provide information about cash flow generated from operations. Our definition of free cash flow does not take into account our debt service requirements or other commitments. Accordingly, free cash flow is not necessarily indicative of amounts of cash which may be available to us for discretionary purposes. Our method of computing free cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Free Cash Flow

One of our goals is to increase the level of free cash flow we generate. We manage our free cash flow by seeking to maximize the amount of cash we generate from our operations and managing the level of our investment activity. During the first half of 2010, we allocated a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the repayment of debt and used the balance of the cash flow for capital expenditures. We can manage capital expenditures by reducing the per-room installation cost of a room and by varying the number of rooms we install in any given period.

Levels of free cash flow are set forth in the following table (dollar amounts in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Cash provided by operating activities		$	27,016			$	20,176			$	55,114			$	41,123
Property and equipment additions			(4,429	)			(5,670	)			(8,954	)			(10,971	)
		$	22,587			$	14,506			$	46,160			$	30,152
