1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business  Meru Networks, Inc. (Meru) was incorporated in Delaware in January 2002. Meru and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) develop and market a virtualized wireless LAN solution. The Companys solution is built around its System Director Operating System which runs on its controllers and access points. The
Company offers additional products designed to deliver network management, diagnostics and security. The Company also offers support services related to its products, professional services, and training. Products and services are sold through value
added resellers, and distributors, as well as the Companys sales force.

Reverse Stock Split  In
March 2010, the Companys board of directors approved a 13-for-1 reverse stock split of the Companys common stock. All common stock data and stock option information in this report have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split. In
addition, any reference to the conversion ratios of the Companys Series A-1, B, C, D and E convertible preferred stock reflect the effect of the reverse split.

Initial Public Offering  On March 30, 2010, the Company sold 3,575,000 shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share in an initial public offering (IPO).
The shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on March 31, 2010. Also on March 31, 2010, the Companys underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase another 658,017 shares of common stock. As part of the
offering, 811,784 shares of common stock, as converted, were also sold by existing shareholders at $15.00 per share. Included in the amounts sold by the existing shareholders were 795,836 shares of common stock which were converted from 8,770,054
shares of convertible preferred stock immediately prior to the initial public offering. The $59.1 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discount, from the initial public offering were received on April 6, 2010, which was the closing
date of the offering. Upon the closing of the offering, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock converted into common stock at each series of convertible preferred stocks respective conversion rate as adjusted for the 13-for-1
reverse stock split and shares of convertible preferred stock are no longer authorized to be issued. The convertible preferred stock converted into 10,390,055 shares of common stock. Concurrently, the Company increased the number of authorized
common stock to 150,000,000 shares and authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both with a par value of $0.0005 per share.

Basis of Presentation  These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting and include the accounts of Meru and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, with the SEC on
March 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated
financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Companys statement of financial position as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
the Companys results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The results for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. All references to September 30, 2010 or to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

Use of Estimates  The preparation of these condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include implicit service periods for revenue recognition, litigation and settlement costs, other loss contingencies, sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful
accounts, inventory valuation, reserve for warranty costs, valuation of deferred tax assets, fair value of common stock, stock-based compensation expense, and fair value of warrants. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also
on assumptions that it believes are reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis; however, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties  The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material and adverse effect on the Companys future
financial position or results of operations, which risks and uncertainties include, among others: it has a limited operating history, it may experience fluctuations in its revenues and operating results, any inability of the Company to compete in a
rapidly evolving market and to respond quickly and effectively to changing market requirements, any inability of the Company to increase market awareness of its brand and products and develop and expand its sales channels, the continued development
of demand for wireless networks, its long and unpredictable sales cycle, declining average sales prices for its products, varying gross margins of its products and services, any inability of the Company to forecast customer demand accurately in
making purchase decisions, its reliance on channel partners to generate a substantial majority of its revenues and the potential failure of these partners to perform, any inability of the Company to protect its intellectual property rights, claims
by others that the Company infringes their proprietary technology, new or modified regulations related to its products, and any inability of the Company to raise additional funds in the future.

Concentration of Supply Risk  The Company relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and depends on them
for the supply and quality of its products. Quality or performance failures of the Companys products or changes in its manufacturers financial or business condition could disrupt the Companys ability to supply quality products to
its customers and thereby have a material and adverse effect on its business and operating results. Some of the components and technologies used in the Companys products are purchased and licensed from a single source or a limited number of
sources. The loss of any of these suppliers may cause the Company to incur additional transition costs, result in delays in the manufacturing and delivery of its products, or cause it to carry excess or obsolete inventory and could cause it to
redesign its products. The Company relies on a third party for the fulfillment of its customer orders, and the failure of this third party to perform could have an adverse effect upon the Companys reputation and its ability to distribute its
products, which could adversely affect the Companys business.

Concentration of Credit
Risk  Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in fixed-income
securities with financial institutions and invests in only high-quality credit instruments. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable in general is
diversified due to the number of different entities comprising the Companys customer base and their location throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on
accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for estimated potential credit losses.

Warranty  The
Company provides a warranty on product sales and estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The Company establishes warranty reserves based on estimates of product warranty return rates and expected costs to repair or to
replace the products under warranty. The warranty provision is recorded as a component of costs of products revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that changes the accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Specifically,
the new accounting standard requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the
residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard
that changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. Specifically, if certain requirements are met, revenue arrangements that contain tangible products with software elements that are essential to the
functionality of the products are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition accounting guidance and will be accounted for under these new accounting standards. Both standards will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of
2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to an accounting standard which requires new disclosures for fair value measurements and
provides clarification for existing disclosures requirements. Specifically, this amendment will require an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels I and II fair value measurements and to describe the
reasons for the transfers and to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, or Level III inputs. This amendment clarifies
existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and
nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level II and Level III inputs. The Company has included these additional disclosures in the footnotes to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which provides guidance on recognizing revenue under the milestone method.
The milestone method of recognition allows a vendor who is involved with the provision of deliverables to recognize the full amount of a milestone payment upon achievement, if, at the inception of the revenue arrangement, the milestone is determined
to be substantive as defined in the standard. The update is effective for the Company in the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the update to have a
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

The Companys basic net loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by
the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The weighted-average number of shares of common stock used to calculate the Companys basic net loss per share of common stock excludes stock awards prior to
vesting and also those shares subject to repurchase related to stock options that were exercised prior to vesting as these shares are not deemed to be issued for accounting purposes until they vest. The diluted net loss per share of common stock is
calculated by giving effect to all potential common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted shares outstanding calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options to
purchase common stock, common stock subject to repurchase, warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock are considered to be common stock equivalents. In periods in which the Company has reported a net loss,
the common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share of common stock as their effect is antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the calculation of the Companys basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (in
thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

4. Fair Value of Financial
Instruments

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments
reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements, which include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar
terms, the carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value.

As a basis for determining the fair value of certain
of the Companys assets and liabilities, the Company established a three-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level I) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level II)
inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level III) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data that requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This
hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Companys financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis
consist only of cash equivalents. The Companys liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the warrant liability and a penalty provision.

All of the Companys cash equivalents, which include money market funds, are
classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The Company does not have any Level II instruments, or instruments valued based on other observable inputs. The Companys warrant
liability and penalty provision as of December 31, 2009 were classified within Level III of the fair value hierarchy.

As
of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Companys fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities was as follows (in thousands):

Other commitments as of September 30, 2010 totaled approximately $8.8 million and consisted of
inventory and other non-cancelable purchase obligations.

Litigation  The Company is subject to various
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance may be given, the Company believes that it is not presently a party to any litigation of which the outcome, if determined adversely, would individually or in the aggregate be
reasonably expected to have a material and adverse effect on the business, operating results, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

On May 11, 2010, Extricom Ltd., filed suit against the Company in the Federal District Court of Delaware asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,697,549. Also on May 11, 2010, the
Company filed a declaratory relief action against Extricom Ltd. in the Federal District Court for Northern California seeking a declaration that the Company is not infringing the Extricom Ltd. patent and that the patent is invalid. The
Companys declaratory relief action in the Northern District of California was dismissed by the Court on August 31, 2010 in favor of the Delaware action on the ground that Extricom Ltd. filed its suit in the Federal District Court of
Delaware first. On October 7, 2010, the Company filed a motion to transfer the Delaware action to the Northern District of California based upon the convenience of witnesses and in the interests of justice. The Court has not yet ruled
on this motion. The Extricom Ltd. complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. At this time, the Company is unable to determine the outcome of this matter and, accordingly, cannot estimate the potential financial
impact this action could have on its business, operating results, cash flows and financial position .

Third parties have from
time to time claimed, and others may claim in the future that the Company has infringed their past, current or future intellectual property rights. These claims, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation,
require expensive changes in the Companys methods of doing business or could require the Company to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements, if available. As a result, these claims could harm the Companys business, operating
results, cash flows and financial position.

Indemnifications  Under the indemnification provisions of the
Companys standard sales contracts, the Company agrees to defend its customers against third-party claims asserting infringement of certain intellectual property rights, which may include patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets, and
to pay any judgments entered on such claims. The exposure to the Company under these indemnification provisions is generally limited to the total amount paid by the customer under the agreement. However, certain agreements include indemnification
provisions that could potentially expose the Company to losses in excess of the amount received under the agreement. To date, there have been no material claims under such indemnification provisions.

6. Warrants for Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock

Series E

In connection with the convertible promissory notes issued during 2008 and 2009, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,035,256 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock (Series E).
The Series E warrants were exercisable immediately and had an exercise price equal to $0.70 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, all of the Series E warrants were exercised, of which 1,020,463 of the Series E warrant
exercises were cash exercises and the other 3,014,793 Series E warrants were exercised utilizing a cashless exercise provision. The Company received cash in the amount of $716,000 and issued 1,020,463 shares of Series E for the cash exercises. The
Company issued 2,063,905 shares of Series E as a result of the cashless exercises.

In June 2009, the Company issued a warrant
to purchase 475,587 shares of Series E to a placement agent in accordance with the completion of the Series E equity financing in March 2009. The warrant was exercisable immediately and had an exercise price equal to $0.70 per share. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2010, this Series E warrant was exercised utilizing a cashless exercise provision and the placement agent received 281,445 shares of Series E and warrants to purchase 36,582 shares of common stock with exercise prices
ranging from $9.78 to $11.74 per share.

The Company determined the fair value of the Series E warrants as of their respective
exercise dates in April 2010 and at September 30, 2009 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:



|                         |  |            |      |   |                    |  |      |  
|------------------------ |  | ---------- | ---- | - | ------------------ |  | ---- | -
|                         |  | April 2010 |      |   | September 30, 2009 | 
|Dividend rate            |  |            | 0    | % |                    |  | 0    | %
|Risk-free interest rate  |  |            | 0.2  | % |                    |  | 1.7  | %
|Expected life (in years) |  |            | 0    |   |                    |  | 4.0  |  
|Expected volatility      |  |            | 53.9 | % |                    |  | 62.2 | %

The relative fair value of
the Series E warrants in the amount of $1.2 million was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a warrant liability upon issuance and, subsequently, the fair value of the warrant liability from the Series E warrants was remeasured at each
period end. The change in fair value of the Series E warrants resulted in charges to other income (expense), net in the amount of $2.7 million and $146,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The change in fair value of
the Series E warrants resulted in a gain to other income (expense), net in the amount of $2,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, these warrants were remeasured and the related
fair value was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2009, the warrant liability related to the Series E warrants was $2.0 million. For the quarter ended and as of September 30, 2010, all of the Series E warrants
had been exercised and were no longer outstanding.

Series B

In September 2005, in connection with a borrowing arrangement with a venture lending company, the Company issued a warrant to purchase
541,346 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (Series B). The Series B warrant was exercisable upon issuance, had an exercise price equal to $0.74 per share and a contractual term of seven years from the date of issuance.

The Company determined the fair value of the Series B warrant as of April 6, 2010
and September 30, 2009 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:



|                         |  |               |      |   |                    |  |      |

|                         |  | April 6, 2010 |      |   | September 30, 2009 | 
|Dividend rate            |  |               | 0    | % |                    |  | 0    | %
|Risk-free interest rate  |  |               | 1.3  | % |                    |  | 1.7  | %

|Expected volatility      |  |               | 67.1 | % |                    |  | 62.2 | %

The relative fair value of
the Series B warrant of $503,000 was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a warrant liability and debt discount. The fair value of the warrant liability for the Series B warrant was remeasured at each period end. As of December 31,
2009, the warrant liability related to the Series B warrant was $175,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, all of the Companys convertible preferred stock converted into shares of common stock upon the initial public
offering. Following the conversion of the convertible preferred stock, the Series B warrant became a warrant to purchase 44,202 shares of common stock. Prior to the conversion of the convertible preferred stock, the change in fair value of the
warrant resulted in a charge through other income (expense), net in the amount of $344,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and a gain through other income (expense), net in the amount of $437,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the change in fair value of the warrant resulted in a gain to other income (expense), net in the amount of $8,000. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, these
warrants were remeasured and the related fair value was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The related debt discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the borrowing arrangement of approximately two years. As of
September 30, 2010, this warrant had not been exercised and was still outstanding.

Common Stock

In connection with bank borrowings in January and November 2007, the Company issued to the lender warrants to purchase
a total of 76,922 shares of the Companys common stock. These warrants were exercisable upon issuance, had an exercise price of $8.32 per share, and were to expire on the earlier of November 2017 or within three years following the occurrence
of an underwritten public offering of the Companys common stock. The Company estimated the total relative fair value of the warrants to be $456,000 upon issuance using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of these common
stock warrants was recorded through stockholders equity upon issuance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, warrants to purchase 61,538 shares were exercised utilizing a cashless exercise provision. As a result, the Company
issued 34,829 shares of common stock. The remaining warrants to purchase 15,384 shares of common stock have not been exercised and were still outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

In connection with the convertible promissory notes issued during 2008 and 2009 and the Series E financing that took place in 2009, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 4,007,432 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued another warrant to purchase 36,582 shares of common stock with a fair value of $446,000 on the date of
issuance as a result of the exercise of a Series E warrant. These common stock warrants are exercisable immediately, have exercise prices ranging from $9.78 to $11.74 and expire in 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, warrants
to purchase 54,764 shares were exercised utilizing a cashless exercise provision. As a result, the Company issued 19,072 shares of common stock. The remaining warrants to purchase 3,989,250 shares of common stock have not been exercised and were
still outstanding as of September 30, 2010.

Because these common stock warrants were potentially redeemable for cash under certain
change in control provisions and included certain variable terms outside of the control of the Company prior to the Companys initial public offering, these common stock warrants were recorded as a warrant liability at fair value and were
subject to remeasurement at each period end with any changes in fair value being recognized in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company determined the fair value of these common stock warrants as of
April 6, 2010 and September 30, 2009 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions:



|                         |  |               |      |   |                    |  |      |  
|------------------------ |  | ------------- | ---- | - | ------------------ |  | ---- | -
|                         |  | April 6, 2010 |      |   | September 30, 2009 | 
|Dividend rate            |  |               | 0    | % |                    |  | 0    | %
|Risk-free interest rate  |  |               | 2.1  | % |                    |  | 2.1  | %
|Expected life (in years) |  |               | 3.9  |   |                    |  | 4.8  |  
|Expected volatility      |  |               | 62.6 | % |                    |  | 62.2 | %

The relative fair value of
the common stock warrants was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as a warrant liability upon issuance and, subsequently, the fair value of the warrant liability for the common stock warrants was remeasured at each period end. However, these
common stock warrants were amended to remove the cash redemption feature and the other variable terms outside of the Companys control effective upon the closing of the Companys initial public offering which occurred on April 6,
2010. As of December 31, 2009, the warrant liability related to these common stock warrants was $16.7 million. The change in fair value of the warrants resulted in a charge through other income (expense), net in the amount of approximately
$30.6 million and $6.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The change in fair value of the warrants resulted in a charge through other income (expense), net in the amount of approximately $5.0 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2009. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, these warrants were remeasured and the related fair value was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2010, warrants to
purchase 4,004,634 shares of common stock had not been exercised and were still outstanding.

7. Stock Plans

In March 2010, the Companys board of directors and its stockholders approved the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2010
Plan). A total of 1,846,154 shares of common stock plus any shares reserved and not issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan were reserved for future issuance under the 2010 Plan, which became effective upon
the completion of the Companys initial public offering on April 6, 2010. The 2010 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, restricted stock, stock units and stock appreciation rights. The Companys stock-based compensation
expense was $2.6 million and $438,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and was $1.1 million and $157,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The total stock-based compensation expense
consisted of stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to employees of $2.6 million and $433,000 and nonemployee consultants of $45,000 and $5,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The total stock-based
compensation expense consisted of stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to employees of $1.1 million and $154,000 and nonemployee consultants of $14,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Determining Fair Value of Stock Options

The fair value of stock options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were determined by the
Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

Valuation Method  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options
granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Expected Term  The expected term represents the period
that the Companys stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The expected term is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior taking into account the contractual life of the
award.

Expected Volatility  The expected volatility was based on the historical stock volatilities of several of
the Companys publicly listed peers over a period equal to the expected terms of the options as the Company did not have a sufficient trading history to use the volatility of its own common stock.

Fair Value of Common Stock  Prior to the Companys initial public offering, the fair value of the shares of common
stock underlying the stock options was determined by the board of directors because there was no public market for the Companys common stock. The board of directors therefore determined fair value of the common stock at the time of grant of
the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including valuation of comparable companies, sales of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of
capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. Following the initial public offering, the fair value of the underlying common stock is based on the list price for the Companys common stock as noted on
the Nasdaq on the grant date.

Risk-Free Interest Rate  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the options expected term.

Expected Dividend  The Company has never paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends.

Forfeiture Rate  The Company estimates its forfeiture rate based on an analysis of its actual forfeitures and will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture
experience, analysis of employee turnover behavior, and other factors. The impact from a forfeiture rate adjustment will be recognized in full in the period of adjustment, and if the actual number of future forfeitures differs from that estimated by
the Company, the Company may be required to record adjustments to stock-based compensation expense in future periods.

Summary of Assumptions  The fair value of each employee stock option was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants of options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

As of September 30, 2010, total compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards
granted to employees, but not yet recognized, was $4.7 million, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.8 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in
estimated forfeitures. Future option grants will increase the amount of compensation expense that will be recorded.

Restricted Stock  The Company issued 30,572 shares of restricted stock to directors and restricted stock units for 224,800
shares of common stock to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These restricted shares will vest three months to four years from the date of issuance if the employees and directors remain with the Company for the duration
of the vesting period. The Company recognized stock-based compensation in the amount of $76,000 and $139,000 for the restricted stock awards during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company recognized
stock-based compensation in the amount of $72,000 for the restricted stock units during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Common Stock Subject to Repurchase  The Company has allowed employees to exercise
options prior to vesting. The Company has the right to repurchase these options at the original purchase price paid by the employee for any unvested (but issued) shares of common stock upon the termination of the employee. The consideration received
for an exercise of an option is considered to be a deposit of the exercise price and the related dollar amount is recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The shares and liability are reclassified into equity on a pro rata basis
as the options vest. The shares subject to repurchase are not deemed to be issued for accounting purposes until those shares vest.

Stock Option Activity for Nonemployee Consultants  During the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, the Company issued options to a consultant for the purchase of 28,653 shares of common stock in exchange for his service. These options vest monthly over four years with an exercise price of $9.10 per share. During the three
months ended September 30, 2010, the remaining unvested shares of this grant in the amount of 25,072 shares were cancelled in connection with the consultant becoming a director of the Company. In exchange for the

cancellation of these options, the director was granted employee stock options and restricted stock awards with a total grant date fair value of $372,000 which resulted in an incremental value of
$112,000. The total fair value of the options and restricted stock awards will be recognized as stock-based compensation over vesting periods of seven months to four years. The Company accounts for nonemployee consultant options based on the fair
value of the awards as they vest. The options were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the remaining contractual term as the expected term. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, no options were issued to
nonemployees.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan  In March 2010, the Companys board of directors approved the
2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP). A total of 730,770 shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance under the ESPP, which became effective upon the Companys initial public offering. The price of the common
stock purchased under the ESPP shall be the lower of 85% of the market value of the Companys common stock at the beginning of the offering period or 85% of the market value of the Companys common stock on the last trading day of the
applicable offering period. On the first day of each of the Companys fiscal years, beginning on January 1, 2011, shares equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the Company on such date or
(ii) a lesser amount determined by the Companys board of directors will be reserved for issuance under the ESPP; provided, however, that no annual increase shall be added more than ten years after March 30, 2010. The Company
estimated the compensation expense for the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 62.7% volatility, 8 month expected life, 0% dividend yield, and 0.2% risk-free interest rate. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized compensation expense related to the ESPP in the amount of $187,000 and $351,000, respectively.

8. Information about Geographic Areas

The Company considers operating
segments to be components of the Company in which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Companys chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by
geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or
components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure which is the development and marketing of wireless infrastructure solutions.

Revenues by geography are based on the billing address of the customer. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area (in
thousands):

9. Income Taxes

The Companys provision for income taxes was $195,000 and $147,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, consisting primarily of provisions for foreign income taxes. The
Companys provision for income taxes was $88,000 and $49,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, consisting primarily of provisions for foreign income taxes.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $1.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to tax
positions taken in prior periods, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

Accrued interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense and were immaterial. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, various states and certain foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2005 through 2009
remain open in most jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state or other foreign jurisdictions.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section entitled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We provide a virtualized wireless LAN solution that
cost-effectively optimizes the enterprise network to deliver the performance, reliability, predictability and operational simplicity of a wired network, with the advantages of mobility. Our solution represents an innovative approach to wireless
networking that utilizes virtualization technology to create an intelligent and self-monitoring wireless network. We sell a virtualized wireless LAN solution built around our System Director Operating System, which runs on our
controllers and access points. We also offer additional products designed to deliver centralized network management, predictive and proactive diagnostics and enhanced security.

We were founded in January 2002 with the vision of developing a virtualized wireless LAN solution that enables enterprises to deliver
business-critical applications over wireless networks, and become what we refer to as an All-Wireless Enterprise. From our inception through 2003, we were principally engaged in the design and development of our virtualized wireless LAN
solution. We focused on developing technology that could reliably and predictably deliver business-critical applications using voice, video and data over wireless networks in dense environments. We began commercial shipments of our products in
December 2003, and initially targeted markets where the wireless delivery of applications in dense environments is critical, such as healthcare and education. Since that time, we have broadened our focus to include organizations in more markets, and
have significantly expanded our geographic reach. To date, our products have been deployed by over 4,000 customers worldwide in many markets, including education, finance, government, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, technology,
telecom, transportation and utilities.

We outsource the manufacturing of our hardware products, including all of our access
points and controllers, to original design manufacturers and contract manufacturers. We also outsource the warehousing and delivery of our products to a third-party logistics provider in the United States for worldwide fulfillment.

Our products and support services are sold worldwide, primarily through value added resellers, or VARs, and distributors, which serve as
our channel partners. We employ a sales force that is responsible for managing sales within each geographic territory in which we market and sell our products.

Since inception, we have expended significant resources on our research and development operations. Our research and development activities were primarily conducted at our headquarters in Sunnyvale,
California until 2005, when we significantly expanded our research and development operations in Bangalore, India. In 2006, we began developing products specifically to leverage the capabilities of a new wireless communication standard promulgated
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE, the 802.11n standard, and began commercial shipments of our 802.11n products in the second half of 2007.

We believe several emerging trends and developments will be integral to the future growth of our business. The growing number of wireless devices and the increased expectations of the users of these
devices are driving demand for better performing wireless networks. Enterprises increasingly view wireless networks as a means to deliver better service to their customers and increase the productivity of their workforce, and as a result, they are
shifting from the casual use of wireless networks to the strategic use of wireless networks for business-critical applications. Further, enterprises are increasingly realizing that wireless networks designed to optimize the 802.11n standard can
deliver the capacity and performance to support their business-critical applications.

Our ability to
capitalize on emerging trends and developments will depend, in part, on our ability to execute our growth strategy of increasing the recognition of our brand and the effectiveness of our solution, expanding the adoption of our solution across
markets, and expanding and leveraging our relationships with the channel partners. We continue to evolve our entire organization to further capitalize on growth opportunities. In this regard, we initiated a process in the third quarter to
recruit a head of our worldwide sales organization. In connection with this process, our previous Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales left at the end of October 2010. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the future will be
affected by, among other things, the continued acceptance of our products, the timing and size of orders, the average selling prices for our products and services, the costs of our products, and the extent to which we invest in our sales and
marketing, research and development, general and administrative resources, as well as our ability to integrate new leadership for our global sales organization.

Our revenues grew from $1.1 million in 2005 to $69.5 million in 2009 and were $62.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We have incurred losses from inception through the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 as we grew our business and invested in research and development, sales and marketing, and administrative functions. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $194.3
million and $158.6 million.

Vendor Specific Objective Evidence

Our recognition of revenues in a particular period depends on the satisfaction of specific revenue recognition criteria, which we describe
in more detail below. The manner in which we recognize our revenues has changed significantly over time, in particular in 2008 and 2009, based on when we established vendor specific objective evidence of fair value, or VSOE, for our support
services. These changes have had a significant impact on the timing of when we recognize revenues from sales of our products and services. Generally, upon establishing VSOE for support services for a customer or class of customers, our total
recognized revenues from sales to these customers increased in subsequent periods because we were able to recognize all of the products revenues from these sales in these periods once all revenue recognition criteria were satisfied, and we were no
longer required to defer the recognition of products revenues over the support period. We also continued to recognize ratable products and services revenues from sales to customers made prior to establishing VSOE for support services. This impact
will decrease over time as our deferred revenue balance declines from the time we established VSOE for support services. This has a related impact on the timing of our costs of revenues and gross profit in prior periods because we generally
recognize the costs of revenues in the same period in which we recognize the associated revenues. When reviewing our financial performance and making period-to-period comparisons, you should consider the impact that the timing of our establishment
of VSOE for support services had on our financial results, including the amount of our revenues and costs of revenues.

Components of Revenues, Costs of Revenues and Operating Expenses

Revenues.We derive our revenues from sales of our products, and support and services. Our total revenues are comprised of the
following:



| |  |  | Products Revenues We generate products revenues from sales of our software and hardware products, which primarily consist of our
System Director Operating System running our access points and controllers, as well as additional software applications.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Support and Services Revenues  We generate support and services revenues primarily from service contracts for our MeruAssure
customer support program, which includes software updates, maintenance releases and patches, telephone and internet access to our technical support personnel and hardware support. We also generate support and services revenues from the professional
and training services that we provide to our VARS, distributors and customers.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Ratable Products and Services Revenues  We recognize ratable products and services revenues from sales of our products and services in
circumstances where VSOE for support services being provided cannot be segregated from the value of the entire sales arrangement, or where we have provided technical support or unspecified software upgrades outside of contractual terms. In these
cases, revenues are deferred and recognized ratably over either the economic life of the product or the contractual period. As of January 1, 2009, we established VSOE for support services for all our channel partners and customers, and we no
longer offer support outside of contractual terms, and therefore, we are able to recognize product revenues and support and services revenues separately.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For periods prior to April 1, 2008, we provided technical support and unspecified software upgrades to certain VARs, distributors and customers outside of the contractual terms, or implied support
services. For these periods, we deferred revenue recognition and recognized revenues ratably over the implied support services period,

which we determined was equal to the economic life of the product. However, for one particular channel partner to which we commenced shipments of our products in the first quarter of 2007, we
established VSOE for support services that we sold to this channel partner. As such, we separately recognize the revenues attributable to our products and services sold to this channel partner when all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Beginning on April 1, 2008, we determined that we had established VSOE for support services for all sales to
distributors. Accordingly, for sales of our products to our distributors we recognize revenues when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. We recognize revenues for sales of our support services to distributors on a straight-line basis over
the support period, which typically ranges from one year to three years. A substantial majority of our revenues are derived from sales to distributors, and therefore, establishing VSOE for support services for sales to distributors on April 1,
2008 had a significant impact on the timing of our revenue recognition.

On January 1, 2009, we established VSOE for
support services for all VARs and customers. Assuming we maintain VSOE for our support services in the future, we expect the amount of ratable products and services revenues and our costs of ratable products and services revenues to decrease over
time and eventually to be eliminated. In addition, if we maintain VSOE for our support services, we will report the amount of our revenues under our product revenues or support services revenues line items, as applicable, and incur costs of revenues
under our costs of product revenues or costs of services revenues line items, as applicable.

Deferred Revenue.Prior
to establishing VSOE for our support services provided to VARs, distributors and customers, we recognized the revenues from such sales over either the economic life of the related products or the contractual support period, depending on the party
and the time at which the sale occurred. As such, prior to establishing VSOE for support services sold to VARs, distributors and customers, only a small amount of our invoiced products and services within a quarter were recognized as revenues in
such quarter, with the majority recorded as deferred revenue. Invoiced products and services represent the total amount of our products and services sold in a particular period. Deferred revenue from such arrangements increases each quarter by the
amount of invoiced products and services in that quarter and decreases by the amount of products revenues, support and services revenues and ratable products and services revenues recognized in that quarter. However, because we established VSOE for
support services sold to our channel partners, including VARs, distributors and customers, at different times throughout our history, our revenues and deferred revenue are difficult to compare on a period-over-period basis.

Costs of Revenues. Our total cost of revenues is comprised of the following:



| |  |  | Costs of products revenues A substantial majority of the costs of products revenues consist of third-party manufacturing costs and
component costs. Our costs of products revenues also includes shipping costs, third-party logistics costs, write-offs for excess and obsolete inventory and warranty costs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Costs of services and support revenues Costs of services and support revenues are primarily comprised of personnel costs associated with
our technical support, professional services and training teams.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Costs of ratable products and services revenues Costs of ratable products and services revenues are comprised primarily of deferred costs
of products revenues and an allocation of costs of services revenues.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating Expenses.Our
operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. The largest component of our operating expenses is personnel costs. Personnel costs include salaries, benefits and other variable
compensation for our employees. We expect our operating expenses to continue to grow in absolute dollars in the near term, although they are likely to fluctuate as a percentage of revenues.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel, engineering, testing and compliance, facilities and professional services costs. We expense research and development costs as incurred. We
are devoting substantial resources to the continued development of additional functionality for our existing products and the development of new products.

Sales and Marketing
Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses represent the largest component of our operating expenses and primarily consist of
personnel costs, sales commissions, travel costs, cost for marketing programs and facilities costs. We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing, including our VARs and distributors, and increase the number of our sales personnel worldwide.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel, professional services and facilities costs related to our executive, finance, human resource and information technology function.
Professional services consist of outside legal and accounting services and information technology consulting costs. We expect to incur significant additional accounting and legal costs related to compliance with rules and regulations enacted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the additional costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as additional insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a
public company.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense on our
outstanding debt and interest income on cash balances.

Other Expense, net. Other expense, net consists primarily
of charges to record fair value adjustments for our warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock.

Upon the closing of our initial public offering on April 6, 2010, the warrant liability related to our outstanding warrants to purchase our convertible preferred stock and common stock was
reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, we will no longer recognize gains or losses as a result of changes in the fair value of these warrants.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have
reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period-to-period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our
management. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and,
therefore, could potentially have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements: Revenue recognition; Stock-based compensation; Fair value of financial instruments; Inventory; and Income taxes.

There have been no material changes in the matters for which we make critical accounting estimates in the preparation of our condensed
consolidated financial statements during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to those disclosed in our prospectus filed pursuant to rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 30, 2010.

Revenues

Our total revenues increased by $4.0 million, or 22.4%, to $21.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $17.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Our products and support and services revenues, total revenues excluding ratable revenues, increased by $5.7 million, or 41.4%, to $19.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $13.6 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2009. These increases were primarily as a result of increased demand for our products, driven in part by improved economic conditions, particularly in the EMEA and the Americas regions.

Products revenues increased by $4.6 million, or 38.6%, to $16.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $12.1
million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in unit shipments particularly in the EMEA region during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Support and services
revenues increased by $1.0 million, or 62.4%, to $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in support and services revenues is a result
of increased product and first-year support sales combined with the renewal of support contracts by existing customers and also as the result of the establishment of VSOE for all support services as of January 1, 2009. As our customer base
grows over time, we expect our support revenues will continue to increase.

Ratable products and services revenues decreased
by $1.6 million, or 39.3%, to $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $4.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. This ratable revenue is being amortized from transactions initiated prior to
2009 and is expected to continue to decline over time as the related deferred revenue balance is depleted.

Costs of
Revenue and Gross Margin

Total costs of revenues increased by $0.8 million, or 11.9%, to $7.8 million during the three
months ended September 30, 2010, from $7.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Overall gross margins improved to 64.3% from 60.9% in the year-ago period as product margin improved to 64.8% from 62.7% in the year-ago
period while gross margin on the combination of support and services and ratable revenue margins improved to 62.5% from 57.3% in the year-ago period.

Our product gross margins increased to 64.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 62.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase in the product gross
margin was primarily the result of a favorable product mix and economies of scale as we grew our revenues.

Operating
Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by $4.3 million, or 40.9%, to $14.6 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2010, from $10.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, and increased as a percentage of revenue from 58.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 66.8% during the three months ended
September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs caused by higher levels of headcount during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the prior year period. In addition to the growth in
headcount, the increase was caused by higher stock-based compensation expense.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 30.9%, to $3.1 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2010, from $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to the increase in research and development personnel costs needed
to support continued enhancements to our existing products and the development of new products as well as an the increase in stock-based compensation expense.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by
$2.6 million, or 41.7%, to $8.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $6.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily
due to an increase in sales and marketing personnel costs, an increase in public relations and branding expenses and an increase in stock-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses
increased by $0.9 million, or 51.1%, to $2.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2010
is primarily due to the increase in general and administrative personnel costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company. Also contributing to the year over year increase in general and administrative expenses are increased legal
expenses associated with operating as a publicly-traded company and an increase in stock-based compensation expense.

Interest
Expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased by $0.2 million, or 52.6% to $0.2 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2010, from $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the principal balances on our outstanding long-term debt.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net consisted of a $12,000 gain during the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to an expense of $5.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Prior to our initial public offering in 2010, we remeasured the fair value of our warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock and common stock each quarter and adjusted the related warrant liability accordingly. We recognized a $5.0 million
loss as a result of changes in the fair value of these warrants during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Upon the closing of our initial public offering on April 6, 2010, we remeasured the warrant liability and reclassified the
related fair value to additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, we no longer recognize gains or losses as a result of changes in the fair value of these warrants.

Revenues

Our total revenues increased by $12.2 million, or 24.1%, to $62.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $50.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our
products and support and services revenues, total revenues excluding ratable revenues, increased by $17.5 million, or 48.8%, to $53.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $35.7 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2009. These increases were primarily as a result increased demand for our products, driven in part by improved economic conditions, particularly in the EMEA and the Americas regions.

Products revenues increased by $13.9 million, or 43.8%, to $45.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $31.8
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in unit shipments particularly in the EMEA and the Americas regions during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Support and services revenues increased by $3.5 million, or 90.2%, to $7.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010,
from $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in support and services revenues is a result of increased product and first-year support sales combined with the renewal of support contracts by existing customers
and also as the result of the establishment of VSOE for all support services as of January 1, 2009. As our customer base grows over time, we expect our support revenues will continue to increase.

Ratable products and services revenues decreased by $5.3 million, or 36.7%, to $9.2 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, from $14.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This ratable revenue is being amortized from transactions initiated prior to 2009 and is expected to continue to decline over time as the related
deferred revenue balance is depleted.

Costs of Revenue and Gross Margin

Total costs of revenues increased by $2.3 million, or 11.5%, to $22.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from
$20.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Overall gross margins improved to 64.0% from 60.0% in the year-ago period as product margin improved significantly while gross margin on the combination of support and services and
ratable revenue margins improved to 60.9% from 57.4% in the year-ago period.

Our product gross margins increased to 65.2%
during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 61.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase in the product gross margin was primarily the result of a favorable product mix and economies of scale as we grew our
revenues.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by $9.8 million, or 31.5%, to $40.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $31.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009,
and increased as a percentage of revenue from 62.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 65.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The absolute dollar increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs
caused by higher levels of headcount during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the prior year period. In addition to the growth in headcount, the increase was impacted by higher stock-based compensation expense.

Research and
Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $1.9 million, or 26.4%, to $9.0 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to the increase in research and development
personnel costs needed to support continued enhancements to our existing products and the development of new products as well as an increase in stock-based compensation expense.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 29.1%, to $24.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $18.7 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2009. This increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing personnel costs, an increased in public relations and branding expenses and an increase in stock-based compensation
expense.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 47.0%, to $7.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $5.3 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative personnel costs associated with operating as a publicly traded company. Additionally, the year
over year increase in general and administrative costs can be partially attributed to increased legal expenses associated with operating as a publicly traded company and an increase in stock-based compensation expense.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net decreased by $0.8 million, or 56.3%, to $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the principal balances on our outstanding long-term debt and the conversion of our convertible promissory notes in March 2009.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net increased by $27.0 million to $33.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $6.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This increase
is primarily due to the increase in the fair value of our warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock and common stock and the related adjustment to the warrant liability in the amount of $33.6 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2010. Upon the closing of our initial public offering on April 6, 2010, we remeasured the warrants and reclassified the related fair value to additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, we no longer recognize gains and losses as
a result of changes in the fair value of these warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from issuances of convertible preferred stock, common stock,
long-term debt and our credit facility. From 2007 through 2009, we raised an aggregate of $62.3 million from the sale of our convertible preferred stock, including amounts received through the conversion of promissory notes. We have also funded
purchases of equipment and other general corporate services with proceeds from our long-term debt in the amount of $16.5 million. In 2010, we received $57.1 million upon the closing of our initial public offering, representing the net proceeds of
the offering after deducting underwriters commissions and discounts and other issuance costs.

As of September 30,
2010, we had debt outstanding in the amount of $4.2 million. Our debt agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions with respect to payment of cash dividends, merger or consolidation, changes in the nature of
our business, disposal of assets and obtaining additional loans. Our debt agreements also contain certain financial covenants and cross default provisions whereby a default, including a violation of covenants, under the terms of one agreement would
result in a default under the other agreement. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with our debt covenants. Our debt agreements are collateralized by all

of our assets. In the event we fail to comply with our debt covenants, the amounts outstanding under our debt agreements would become due and payable absent a waiver by our lender, which could
materially and adversely affect our liquidity. On September 30, 2010, a modification of the line of credit agreement was signed. The modification provided for an extension of the line of credit term to October 31, 2010.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for personnel-related expenditures, purchases of inventory and costs related to our facilities. We have experienced negative cash flows from
operations prior to 2010 as we expanded our business. Our cash flows from operating activities will continue to be affected principally by our working capital requirements and the extent to which we increase spending on personnel as our business
grows. Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers. Cash provided by operating activities was $97,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash used in operating activities was $3.2 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Cash provided by operating activities of $97,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 reflected a net loss of $35.7 million, offset by non-cash charges of $36.7 million, $33.6 million of which relates to the increase in the fair value of the common stock underlying our warrants. Cash from our net
operating assets and liabilities decreased slightly during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. A decrease of $6.9 million in deferred revenue was offset by a decrease of $3.8 million in deferred inventory costs and an increase of $3.4
million in accrued liabilities.

Cash used in operating activities of $3.2 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 reflected a net loss of $9.4 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $7.8 million, $6.6 million of which relates to the increase in the fair value of the common stock underlying our warrants. The decrease in our net
operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of a decrease of $9.0 million in deferred revenue partially offset by a decrease of $6.0 million in deferred inventory costs as we established VSOE for support services for all customers on
January 1, 2009 and an increase of $1.1 million in accounts payable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our investing activities have consisted of our capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.5 million and $60,000 as a result of our capital expenditures.

Cash
Flows from Financing Activities

To date, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of
convertible preferred stock, the incurrence of long-term debt and the use of a line of credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we also received proceeds through the sale of our common stock in our initial public
offering. As of September 30, 2010, we had outstanding debt of $4.2 million. We currently pay approximately $0.5 million per month in principal and interest payments on our long-term debt.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $47.9 million primarily as a result of
the net proceeds from our initial public offering in the amount of $57.1 million and proceeds from the exercise of warrants on convertible preferred stock and from the exercise of stock options in the amount of $1.0 million, partially offset by net
payments on our long-term debt of $10.2 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash provided by
financing activities was $21.3 million primarily as a result of the issuance of convertible preferred stock and warrants, and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $23.8 million, partially offset by the net payments on our long-term debt
of $2.6 million.

Capital Resources

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements may vary
materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including, among other things, market acceptance of our products, the cost of our research and development activities and overall economic conditions.

Contractual
Obligations

We are obligated to make principal and interest payments on our long-term debt including our line of
credit facility. As of September 30, 2010, our obligation to make principal, interest and other payments on our debt totaled $4.7 million.

As of September 30, 2010, we had operating lease obligations of $3.1 million, of which the longest remaining lease expires in 2015, and outstanding purchase commitments of $8.8 million due within the
next 12 months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2010, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued a new accounting standard that changes the accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Specifically, the new
accounting standard requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual
method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard that
changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. Specifically, if certain requirements are met, revenue arrangements that contain tangible products with software elements that are essential to the
functionality of the products are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition accounting guidance and will be accounted for under these new accounting standards. Both standards will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2011. Early
adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to an accounting standard which requires new disclosures for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosures requirements.
Specifically, this amendment will require an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels I and II fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers and to disclose information about
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, or Level III inputs. This amendment clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of
disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level II
and Level III inputs. We have included these additional disclosures in the footnotes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which provides guidance on the criteria to be followed in recognizing revenue under the milestone method. The milestone method of recognition
allows a vendor who is involved with the provision of deliverables to recognize the full amount of a milestone payment upon achievement, if, at the inception of the revenue arrangement, the milestone is determined to be substantive as defined in the
standard. The update is effective for us in the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Risk

All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, our revenues are not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of
the countries in which our operations are located, and may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Indian rupee, Euro, British Pound Sterling and Japanese yen relative to the
U.S. dollar. To date, we have not entered into any hedging contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a 10% appreciation or depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the other currencies in which our expenses are
denominated would not have had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We had cash and cash equivalents of $68.8 million and $21.3 million as of September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009. These amounts were held primarily in cash deposits and money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any
material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, will reduce future interest income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a 10%
appreciation or depreciation in overall interest rates would not have had a material impact on our interest income.

As of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the principal amount of our long-term debt outstanding, including our credit facility, was $4.2 million and $14.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a 10% appreciation
or depreciation in the prime rate would not have had a material impact on our interest expense.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010.
The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of September 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by
Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

We are
subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although no assurance may be given, we believe that we are not presently a party to any litigation of which the outcome, if determined adversely, would individually or in the
aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material and adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial position.

On May 11, 2010, Extricom Ltd., filed suit against the Company in the Federal District Court of Delaware asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,697,549. Also on May 11, 2010, we
filed a declaratory relief action against Extricom Ltd. in the Federal District Court for Northern California seeking a declaration that we are not infringing the Extricom Ltd. patent and that the patent is invalid. Our declaratory relief action in
the Northern District of California was dismissed by the Court on August 31, 2010 in favor of the Delaware action on the ground that Extricom Ltd. filed its suit in the Federal District Court of Delaware first. On October 7, 2010, we
filed a motion to transfer the Delaware action to the Northern District of California based upon the convenience of witnesses and in the interests of justice. The Court has not yet ruled on this motion. The Extricom Ltd. complaint seeks
unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. At this time, we are unable to determine the outcome of this matter and, accordingly, cannot estimate the potential financial impact this action could have on us.

Third parties have from time to time claimed, and others may claim in the future, that we have infringed their past, current or future
intellectual property rights. These claims, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, require expensive changes to our products or could require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements, if
available. As a result, these claims could harm our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Investing in our common
stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this document, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this document, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks is realized, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of
our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and
Industry

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to predict our future operating results.

We were incorporated in January 2002 and began commercial shipments of our products in December 2003. As a result of
our limited operating history, it is very difficult to forecast our future operating results. We face challenges in our business and financial planning as a result of the uncertainties resulting from having had a relatively limited time period in
which to implement and evaluate our business strategies as compared to more mature companies with longer operating histories. These uncertainties make it difficult to predict our future operating results. If the assumptions we use to plan our
business are incorrect or change in reaction to a change in our markets, our financial results could suffer.

We have incurred significant
losses since inception, and could continue to incur losses in the future.

We have incurred significant losses since
our inception, including net losses of $35.7 million and $9.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $194.3 million and
$158.6 million. These losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs, sales and marketing programs, and non-cash adjustments to the fair value of our warrant liability. We expect to incur operating
losses in the future as a result of the expenses associated with the continued development and expansion of our business, including expenditures to hire additional personnel for sales and marketing. Additionally, we expect that our general and
administrative expenses will increase due to the additional operational and reporting costs associated with being a public company. We may also increase our research and development expenses. Our ability to attain profitability in the future will be
affected by, among other things, our ability to execute on our business strategy, the continued acceptance of our products, the timing and size of orders, the average selling prices of our products, the costs of our products, and the extent that we
invest in our sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative resources. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase our profitability. As a result, our business could be harmed and
our stock price could decline.

Fluctuations in our revenues and operating results could cause the market price of our common stock to
decline.

Our revenues and operating results are difficult to predict, even in the near term. Our historical operating
results have in the past fluctuated significantly, and may continue to fluctuate in the future. It is possible that our operating results in some periods may be below market expectations. This would likely cause the market price of our common stock
to decline. Our operating results are affected by a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | our sales volume;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in demand for our products and services, including seasonal variations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | average selling prices and the potential for increased discounting of products by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of revenue recognition in any given period as a result of revenue recognition guidance under the accounting principles generally accepted in
the U.S.;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to forecast demand and manage lead times for the manufacturing of our products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shortages in the availability of components used in our products, including components whose manufacturing lead times have increased significantly or
may increase in the future;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses and the costs of the components we purchase;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to develop and maintain relationships with our channel partners;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to develop and introduce new products and product enhancements that achieve market acceptance;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any significant changes in the competitive dynamics of our markets, including new entrants, or further consolidation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reductions in customers budgets for information technology purchases and delays in their purchasing cycles;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the regulatory environment for the certification and sale of our products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | claims of intellectual property infringement against us and any resulting temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from selling our products or
the requirement to pay damages or expenses associated with any such claims; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions in our domestic and international markets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Further, as a result
of customer buying patterns, historically we have received a substantial portion of a quarters sales orders and generated a substantial portion of a quarters revenues during the last two weeks of the quarter. If expected revenues at the
end of any quarter are delayed for any reason, including the failure of anticipated purchase orders to materialize, our inability to deliver products prior to quarter-end to fulfill purchase orders received near the end of the quarter, our failure
to manage inventory properly in a way to meet demand, or our inability to release new products on schedule, our revenues for that quarter could be materially and adversely affected and could fall below market expectations.

As a result of the above factors, or other factors, our operating results in one or more future periods may fail to meet or exceed the
expectations of securities analysts or investors. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline.

We compete
in a rapidly evolving market, and the failure to respond quickly and effectively to changing market requirements could cause our business and operating results to decline.

The wireless networking market is characterized by rapidly changing technology, changing customer needs, evolving industry standards and
frequent introductions of new products and services. In order to deliver a competitive wireless LAN, our virtualized wireless LAN solution must be capable of operating with an ever increasing array of wireless devices and an increasingly complex
network environment. In addition, our products are designed to be compatible with industry standards for communications over wireless networks. As new wireless devices are introduced and standards in the wireless networking market evolve, we may be
required to modify our products and services to make them compatible with these new products and standards. Likewise, if our competitors introduce new products and services that compete with ours, we may be required to reposition our product and
service offerings or introduce new products and services in response to such competitive pressure. We may not be successful in modifying our current products or introducing new ones in a timely or appropriately responsive manner, or at all. If we
fail to address these changes successfully, our business and operating results could be materially harmed.

We must increase market
awareness of our brand and our solution and develop and expand our sales channels, and if we are unsuccessful, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We must improve the market awareness of our brand and solution and expand our relationships with our channel partners in order to
increase our revenues. We intend to continue to add personnel and to expend resources in our sales and marketing functions as we focus on expanding awareness of our brand and our solution, capitalizing on our market opportunities and increasing our
sales. Further, we believe that we must continue to develop our relationships with new and existing channel partners to effectively and efficiently extend our geographic reach and market penetration. Our efforts to improve sales of our solution
could result in a material increase in our sales and marketing expense and general and administrative expense, and there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful. If we are unable to significantly increase the awareness of our brand
and solution, expand our relationships with channel partners, or effectively manage the costs associated with these efforts, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We compete in highly competitive
markets, and competitive pressures from existing and new companies may harm our business and operating results.

The
markets in which we compete are highly competitive and influenced by the following competitive factors:



| |  |  | performance, reliability and predictability of wireless networking solutions;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | initial price and total cost of ownership;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comprehensiveness of the solution;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | ability to provide quality customer service and support;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interoperability with other devices;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | scalability of solution;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | ability to provide secure mobile access to the network; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ability to bundle wireless products with other networking offerings.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect competition to intensify in the future as other companies introduce new products into our markets. This competition could
result in increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased sales and marketing expenses and failure to increase, or the loss of, market share, any of which would likely seriously harm our business, operating results or financial
condition. If we do not keep pace with product and technology advances, there could be a material and adverse effect on our competitive position, revenues and prospects for growth.

A number of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and
significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we. As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, devote greater resources
to the promotion and sale of their products and services, initiate or withstand substantial price competition, take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities more readily and develop and expand their product and service offerings more quickly
than we. Our competitors with larger volumes of orders and more diverse product offerings may require our VARs and distributors to stop selling our products, or to reduce their efforts to sell our products, which could harm our business and results
of operations. In addition, certain of our competitors offer, or may in the future offer, more diverse product offerings and may be able to bundle wireless products with other networking offerings. Potential customers may prefer to purchase all of
their equipment from a single provider, or may prefer to purchase wireless networking products from an existing supplier rather than a new supplier, regardless of product performance or features.

We expect increased competition if our market continues to expand. Conditions in our markets could change rapidly and significantly as a
result of technological advancements or other factors. In addition, current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources, such as Motorolas acquisition of Symbol Technologies and
Hewlett-Packards acquisition of Colubris Networks. As a result of such acquisitions, our current or potential competitors might take advantage of the greater resources of the larger organization to compete with us. Continued industry
consolidation may adversely impact customers perceptions of the viability of smaller and even medium-sized wireless networking companies and, consequently, customers willingness to purchase from such companies.

Claims by others that we
infringe their proprietary technology could harm our business.

Our industry is characterized by vigorous protection
and pursuit of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for many companies. Third parties, including some of our competitors, have asserted and may in the future assert claims of infringement of
intellectual property rights against us or against our customers or channel partners for which we may be liable. For example, on May 11, 2010, Extricom Ltd., filed suit against us in the Federal District Court of Delaware asserting infringement
of U.S. Patent No. 7,697,549. Also on May 11, 2010, we filed a declaratory relief action against Extricom Ltd. in the Federal District Court located in Northern California seeking a declaration that we are not infringing the Extricom Ltd.
patent and that the patent is invalid. Our declaratory relief action in the Northern District of California was dismissed, and we have filed a motion to transfer the action to the Northern District of California. The Extricom Ltd. complaint seeks
unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. At this time, we are unable to determine the outcome of this matter and, accordingly, cannot estimate the potential financial impact this action could have on us. Additionally, we have received
letters from one of our competitors that has a large patent portfolio and substantial resources alleging that our products infringe upon certain of their patents. In February 2010, we also received a letter from another competitor inviting us to
license certain of its patents. In March 2010, we received a letter alleging that our products infringe upon a patent of another one of our competitors and an invitation to license the patent. We may enter into protracted and expensive litigation as
a result of these letters and other claims made against us in the future. Much of our business relies on, and many of our products incorporate, proprietary technologies of third parties, and we may not be able to obtain, or continue to obtain,
licenses from such third parties on reasonable terms. As our business expands and the number of products and competitors in our market increases and overlaps occur, we expect that infringement claims may increase in number and significance.
Intellectual property lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties due to the complexity of the technical issues involved, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in defending ourselves against intellectual property claims. In
addition, we currently have a limited portfolio of issued patents compared to our major competitors, and therefore may not be able to effectively utilize our intellectual property portfolio to assert defenses or counterclaims in response to patent
infringement claims or litigation brought against us by third parties. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages or prevents us from distributing certain products or performing certain
services. We might also be required to seek a license for the use of such intellectual property, which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Alternatively, we may be required to develop non-infringing technology, which
could require significant effort and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Any claims or proceedings against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management
time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed or we could be required to incur significant
expenses to enforce our rights.

We depend on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We protect our
proprietary information and technology through licensing agreements, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions, as well as through patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws in the U.S. and similar laws in other countries.
These protections may not be available in all cases or may be inadequate to prevent our competitors from copying, reverse engineering or otherwise obtaining and using our technology, proprietary rights or products. For example, the laws of India,
where we conduct significant research and development activities, do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. In addition, third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate or circumvent our patents, trademarks,
copyrights and trade secrets, or applications for any of the foregoing. Our competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent, or superior, to our technology or design around our proprietary rights. In each case,
our ability to compete could be significantly impaired.

##### Table of Contents



To prevent substantial
unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, it may be necessary to prosecute actions for infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary rights against third parties. Any such action could result in significant costs and diversion of
our resources and managements attention, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such action. Furthermore, many of our current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to
enforce their intellectual property rights than we. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our intellectual property.

We have a limited patent portfolio. To date, we have not applied for patent protection outside of the U.S. While we plan to protect our
intellectual property with, among other things, patent protection, there can be no assurance that:



| |  |  | current or future U.S. or future foreign patent applications will be approved;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our issued patents will protect our intellectual property and not be held invalid or unenforceable if challenged by third parties;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we will succeed in protecting our technology adequately in all key jurisdictions in which we or our competitors operate;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | others will not independently develop similar or competing products or methods or design around any patents that may be issued to us.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The failure to obtain patents with claims of a scope necessary to cover our technology, or the invalidation
or our patents, or our inability to protect any of our intellectual property, may weaken our competitive position and may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

If the demand for wireless networks does not continue to develop as we anticipate, demand for our virtualized wireless LAN solution may not grow as
we expect.

The success of our business depends on enterprises continuing to adopt wireless networks for use with
their business-critical applications. The market for enterprise-wide wireless networks has only developed in recent years as enterprises have deployed wireless networks to take advantage of the convenient access to the network that they provide. As
businesses seek to run their business-critical applications on these wireless networks, they recognize the limitations of other wireless solutions and the need for our virtualized wireless LAN solution. Ultimately, however, enterprises may not elect
to deploy wireless networks and may not elect to run their business-critical applications on a wireless network. Accordingly, demand for our solution may not continue to develop as we anticipate, or at all.

Our sales cycles can be long and unpredictable. As a result, our sales are difficult to predict and may vary substantially from quarter to quarter,
which may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly.

The timing of our sales is difficult to predict.
Our sales efforts involve educating our customers about the use and benefits of our virtualized wireless LAN solution, including the technical capabilities of our products and the potential cost savings achievable by organizations deploying our
solution. Customers typically undertake a significant evaluation process, which frequently involves not only our products but also those of our competitors and can result in a lengthy sales cycle. We spend substantial time, effort and money in our
sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will produce any sales. In addition, purchases of our virtualized wireless LAN solution are frequently subject to budget constraints, multiple approvals, and unplanned administrative, processing
and other delays. If sales expected from a specific customer for a particular quarter are not realized in that quarter or at all, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

The average sales prices of our
products may decrease.

The average sales prices for our products may decline for a variety of reasons, including
competitive pricing pressures, a change in our mix of products, anticipation of the introduction of new products or promotional programs. The markets in which we compete are highly competitive and we expect this competition to increase in the
future, thereby leading to increased pricing pressures. Larger competitors with more diverse product offerings may reduce the price of products that compete with ours in order to promote the sale of other products or may bundle them with other
products. For example, some of our large competitors who provide network switching equipment may offer a wireless overlay network at very low prices or on a bundled basis. Furthermore, average sales prices for our products have typically decreased
over product life cycles. A decline in our average selling prices in excess of our expectations may harm our operating results.

We
expect gross margin to vary over time, and our level of gross margin may not be sustainable.

Our level of gross
margin may not be sustainable and may be adversely affected by numerous factors, including:



| |  |  | increased price competition;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | changes in customer or product and service mix;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | introduction of new products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to reduce production costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in material or labor costs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | excess inventory, inventory holding charges and obsolescence charges;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of revenue recognition and revenue deferrals;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in our distribution channels or with our channel sales partners;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased warranty costs; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | inbound shipping charges.
| | - |  | -------------------------

As a result of any of these factors, or other factors, our gross margin may be adversely affected, which in turn would harm our operating results.

We rely on channel partners to generate a substantial majority of our revenues. If our partners fail to perform, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

A substantial majority of our revenues is generated through sales by our channel partners, which are distributors and value-added
resellers, or VARs. To the extent our channel partners are unsuccessful in selling our products, or we are unable to obtain and retain a sufficient number of high-quality channel partners, our operating results could be materially and adversely
affected.

Our channel partners may be unsuccessful in marketing, selling and supporting our products and services. They may
also market, sell and support products and services that are competitive with ours, and may devote more resources to the marketing, sales and support of such products. They may have incentives to promote our competitors products in lieu of our
products, particularly for our competitors with larger volumes of orders, more diverse product offerings and a longer relationship with our VARs or distributors. In these cases, our channel partners may stop selling our products completely. New
sales channel partners may take several months or more to achieve significant sales. Our channel partner sales structure could subject us to lawsuits, potential liability and reputational harm if, for example, any of our channel partners
misrepresents the functionality of our products or services to customers, violate laws or our corporate policies. If we fail to effectively manage our existing or future sales channel partners, our business would be seriously harmed.

If we are unable to hire,
integrate and retain qualified personnel, our business will suffer.

Our future success depends, in part, on our
ability to continue to attract, integrate and retain highly skilled personnel. Our inability to attract, integrate or retain qualified personnel, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly in engineering and sales, may seriously harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Competition for highly skilled personnel is frequently intense, especially in the locations where we have a substantial presence and need for highly-skilled personnel, including the San
Francisco Bay Area and India. We may not be successful in attracting qualified personnel to fulfill our current or future needs.

In addition, several members of our management team have recently joined us. For example, our General Counsel joined us in November 2009, our Vice President of Human Resources joined us in December 2009,
our Senior Vice President of Service Providers joined us in January of 2010, and our Vice President of Worldwide Support and Services joined us in April 2010. During the third quarter, we initiated a process to recruit a head of our worldwide sales
organization. In connection with this process, our previous Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, left at the end of October 2010. If we cannot effectively integrate and retain key employees, the execution of our business strategy may be
significantly delayed or adversely impacted.

None of our key employees has an employment agreement for a specific term, and
any of our employees may terminate their employment at any time. The loss of services of key employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We base our inventory purchase decisions on our forecasts of customers demand, and if our forecasts are inaccurate, our operating
results could be materially harmed.

We place orders with our manufacturers based on our forecasts of our
customers demand. Our forecasts are based on multiple assumptions, each of which may introduce errors into our estimates. When demand for our products increases significantly, we may not be able to meet demand on a timely basis, and we may
need to expend a significant amount of time working with our customers to allocate limited supply and maintain positive customer relations, or we may incur additional costs in order to rush the manufacture and delivery of additional inventory. If we
underestimate customer demand, we may forego revenue opportunities, lose market share and damage our customer relationships. Conversely, if we overestimate customer demand, we may purchase more inventory than we are able to sell when we expect to or
at all. As a result, we could have excess or obsolete inventory, resulting in a decline in the value of our inventory, which would increase our costs of revenues and reduce our liquidity. Our failure to accurately manage inventory against demand
would adversely affect our operating results.

Our virtualized wireless LAN solution incorporates complex technology and may contain
defects or errors, which could cause harm to our reputation and adversely affect our business.

Our virtualized
wireless LAN solution incorporates complex technology and must operate with a significant number and types of wireless devices, which attempt to run new and complex applications in a variety of environments that utilize different wireless
communication industry standards. Our products have contained and may in the future contain defects or errors. In some cases, these defects or errors have delayed the introduction of our new products. Some errors in our products may only be
discovered after a product has been installed and used by customers. These issues are most prevalent when new products are introduced into the market. Any errors or defects discovered in our products, after commercial release could result in loss of
revenues or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers, damage to our brand and reputation, and increased service and warranty cost, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We could face claims for product liability, tort or breach of warranty, including claims relating to changes to our products made by our
channel partners. Our contracts with customers contain provisions relating to warranty disclaimers and liability limitations, which may not be upheld. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert managements attention
and adversely affect the markets perception of us and our products.

If we fail to develop new
products and enhancements to our virtualized wireless LAN solution, we may not be able to remain competitive.

We must
develop new products and continue to enhance our virtualized wireless LAN solution to meet rapidly evolving customer requirements. If we fail to develop new products or enhancements to our existing products, our business could be adversely affected,
especially if our competitors are able to introduce products with enhanced functionality. In addition, as new mobile applications are introduced, our success may depend on our ability to provide a solution that supports these applications.

We design our products to comply with standards established by various standards bodies, such as the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers, Inc., or IEEE. As new industry standards emerge, we could be required to invest a substantial amount of resources to develop new products that comply with these standards. For example, we devoted a substantial amount of
our research and development resources to design a virtualized wireless LAN solution that could optimize the performance allowed by the recently ratified 802.11n standard. If we are not able to adapt to new or changing standards that are ratified by
the IEEE or other standards bodies, our ability to sell our products may be adversely affected and we may not realize the benefits of our research and development efforts.

Our research and development efforts relating to new products and technologies are time-consuming, costly and complex. If we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development and our
efforts do not lead to the successful introduction of products that are competitive in the marketplace, this could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Although certain technical problems experienced by users may not be caused by our virtualized wireless LAN solution, our business and reputation may be harmed if users perceive our solution as the
cause of a slow or unreliable network connection.

Our solution has been deployed in many different environments and
is capable of providing wireless access to many different types of wireless devices operating a variety of applications. The ability of our virtualized wireless LAN solution to operate effectively can be negatively impacted by many different
elements unrelated to our products. For example, a users experience may suffer from an incorrect setting in a wireless device, which is not a problem caused by the network. Although certain technical problems experienced by users may not be
caused by our solution, users often perceive the underlying cause to be a result of poor performance of the wireless network. This perception, even if incorrect, could harm our business and reputation.

Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from customers outside the U.S. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, 35% and 26% of our revenues were derived from customers outside of the U.S. While our international sales have typically been denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our
products to become relatively more expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in sales or profitability in that country.

In addition, we have a research and development facility located in India, and we expect to expand our offshore development efforts and general and administrative functions within India and possibly in
other countries. We have sales and support personnel in numerous countries worldwide. We expect to continue to add personnel in additional countries.

Our international
operations subject us to a variety of risks, including:



| |  |  | the difficulty of managing and staffing international offices and the increased travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with
multiple international locations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable, and longer payment cycles, especially in emerging markets;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tariffs and trade barriers, export regulations and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell or develop our products in
certain foreign markets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | heightened exposure to political instability, war and terrorism;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to localize our products for international customers; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased cost of terminating employees in some countries.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international
operations. Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations and reduce our international sales, adversely affecting our business, operating results and financial condition.

Another significant risk resulting from our international operations is compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA.
In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it may be a local custom that businesses operating in such countries engage in business practices that are prohibited by the FCPA or other U.S. laws and regulations.
Although we have implemented limited procedures designed to ensure compliance with the FCPA and similar laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business
operations, will not take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

Our use of and reliance on research and development resources in India may expose us to unanticipated costs or events.

We have a significant research and development center in Bangalore, India and, in recent years, have increased headcount and development
activity at this facility. There is no assurance that our reliance upon research and development resources in India will enable us to achieve meaningful cost reductions or greater resource efficiency. Further, our research and development efforts
and other operations in India involve significant risks, including:



| |  |  | difficulty hiring and retaining appropriate engineering personnel due to intense competition for such resources and resulting wage inflation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the knowledge transfer related to our technology and resulting exposure to misappropriation of intellectual property or information that is proprietary
to us, our customers and other third parties;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | heightened exposure to change in the economic, security and political conditions in India;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in currency exchange rates and regulatory compliance in India; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interruptions to our operations in India as a result of floods and other natural catastrophic events as well as manmade problems such as power
disruptions or terrorism.

Difficulties resulting
from the factors above and other risks related to our operations in India could expose us to increased expense, impair our development efforts and harm our competitive position.

We rely on third parties to manufacture our products, and depend on them for the supply and quality of our products.

We outsource the manufacturing of our products, and are therefore subject to the risk that our third-party manufacturers do not provide our customers with the quality and performance that they expect from
our products. Our orders may represent a relatively small percentage of the overall orders received by our manufacturers from their customers. As a result, fulfilling our orders may not be considered a priority in the event our manufacturers are
constrained in their ability to fulfill all of their customer obligations in a timely manner. We must also accurately predict the number of products that we will require. If we overestimate our requirements, our manufacturers may assess charges, or
we may incur liabilities for excess inventory, each of which could negatively affect our gross margins. Conversely, if we underestimate our requirements, our manufacturers may have inadequate materials and components required to produce our
products. This could result in an interruption of the manufacturing of our products, delays in shipments and deferral or loss of revenues. Quality or performance failures of our products or changes in our manufacturers financial or business
condition could disrupt our ability to supply quality products to our customers and thereby have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Some of the components and technologies used in our products are purchased and licensed from a single source or a limited number of sources. The loss of any of these suppliers may cause us to incur
additional transition costs, result in delays in the manufacturing and delivery of our products, or cause us to carry excess or obsolete inventory and could cause us to redesign our products.

While supplies of our components are generally available from a variety of sources, we currently depend on a single source or limited
number of sources for several components for our products. For example, the chipsets that we use in our products are currently available only from a limited number of sources, with whom neither we nor our manufacturers have entered into supply
agreements. We have also entered into license agreements with some of our suppliers for technologies that are used in our products, and the termination of these licenses, which can generally be done on relatively short notice, could have a material
adverse effect on our business. For example, our access points incorporate certain technology that we license from Atheros Communications, Inc., or Atheros. We have entered into a license agreement with Atheros, and such license agreement
automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless the agreement is terminated prior to the end of the then-current term. In the event our license agreement with Atheros is terminated, we would be required to redesign some of our products
in order to incorporate technology from alternative sources, and any such termination of the license agreement and redesign of certain of our products could materially and adversely affect our business.

As there are no other sources identical to these components and technologies, if we lost any of these suppliers, we could be required to
transition to a new supplier, which could increase our costs, result in delays in the manufacturing and delivery of our products or cause us to carry excess or obsolete inventory, and we could be required to redesign our hardware and software in
order to incorporate components or technologies from alternative sources.

In addition, for certain components for which there
are multiple sources, we are still subject to potential price increases and limited availability due to market demand for such components. In the past, unexpected demand for communication products caused worldwide shortages of certain electronic
parts. If such shortages occur in the future, our business would be adversely affected. We carry very little inventory of our products, and we and our manufacturers rely on our suppliers to deliver necessary components in a timely manner. We and our
manufacturers rely on purchase orders rather than long-term contracts with these suppliers, and as a result, even if available, we or our manufacturers may not be able to secure sufficient components at reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to
build products in a timely manner and, therefore, may not be able to meet customer demands for our products, which would have a material and adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We rely on a third party for the
fulfillment of our customer orders, and the failure of this third party to perform could have an adverse effect upon our reputation and our ability to distribute our products, which could cause a material reduction in our revenues.

We use a third party to hold our inventory and fulfill our customer orders. If our third-party fulfillment agent
fails to perform, our ability to deliver our products and to generate revenues would be adversely affected. The failure of our third-party logistics provider to deliver products in a timely manner could lead to the dissatisfaction of our channel
partners and customers and damage our reputation, which may cause our channel partners or customers to cancel existing agreements with us and to stop doing business with us. In addition, this reliance on a third-party logistics provider also may
impact the timing of our revenue recognition if our logistics provider fails to deliver orders during the prescribed time period. Although we believe that alternative logistics providers are readily available in the market, in the event we are
unexpectedly forced to change providers we could experience short-term disruptions in our delivery and fulfillment process that could adversely affect our business.

Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our support and services offerings, and our failure to offer high-quality support and services could have a material and
adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Once our products are deployed within our customers
networks, they depend on our support organization to resolve any issues relating to our products. High-quality support is critical for the continued successful marketing and sale of our products. If we or our channel partners do not effectively
assist our customers in deploying our products, succeed in helping our customers quickly resolve post-deployment issues, or provide effective ongoing support, it could adversely affect our ability to sell our products to existing customers and could
harm our reputation with potential customers. In addition, as we expand our operations internationally, our support organization will face additional challenges including those associated with delivering support, training and documentation in
languages other than English. Our failure or the failure of our channel partners to maintain high-quality support and services could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles applicable to us.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB,
the SEC and other various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and could affect the reporting
of transactions completed before the announcement of a change. In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that changes the accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple
deliverables. The FASB also issued a new accounting standard that changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. We will adopt these pronouncements in the first quarter of 2011. Any difficulties in the
implementation of these pronouncements could cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.

In addition, the
SEC has announced a multi-year plan that could ultimately lead to the use of International Financial Reporting Standards by U.S. issuers in their SEC filings. Any such change could have a significant effect on our reported financial results.

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be
incorrect, our operating results could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as described under Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our
operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below market expectations, resulting in a decline in our stock
price. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, valuation of inventory, fair value of financial instruments, allowance for
doubtful accounts, and accounting for income taxes.

We are subject to governmental
export and import controls that could subject us to liability or impair our ability to compete in international markets.

Our products incorporate encryption technology and are subject to United States export controls, and may be exported outside the U.S. only with the required level of export license or through an export
license exception. In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption technology and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products or could limit our customers ability to implement our products
in those countries. Changes in our products or changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the introduction of our products in international markets, prevent our customers with international operations from deploying our products
throughout their global systems or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries altogether. Any change in export or import regulations or related legislation, shift in approach to the enforcement or scope of
existing regulations, or change in the countries, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our products by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our products to, existing or potential customers
with international operations.

In addition, we have implemented limited procedures to ensure our compliance with export
regulations, and if our export compliance procedures are not effective, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could lead to a material fine or sanction that could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our use of open source software could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our products.

Our products contain software modules licensed for use from third-party authors under open source licenses, including the GNU Public
License, the GNU Lesser Public License, the Apache License and others. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or
other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open
source software we use. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain of the open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. This
could allow our competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of product sales for us.

Although we monitor our use of open source closely, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a
manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products. In such event, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our products, to re-engineer our
products or to discontinue the sale of our products in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

If we do not appropriately manage any future growth, or are unable to improve our systems and processes, our operating results could be negatively
affected.

Our future growth, if it occurs, could place significant demands on our management, infrastructure and
other resources. We may need to increasingly rely on information technology, or IT, systems, some of which we do not currently have significant experience in operating, to help manage critical functions. To manage any future growth effectively, we
must continue to improve and expand our information technology and financial infrastructure, operating and administrative systems and controls, and continue to manage headcount, capital and processes in an efficient manner. We may not be able to
successfully implement improvements to these systems and processes in a timely or efficient manner, which could result in additional operating inefficiencies and could cause our costs to increase more than planned. If we do increase our operating
expenses in anticipation of the growth of our business and this growth does not meet our expectations, our financial results may be negatively impacted. In addition, our systems and processes may not prevent or detect all errors, omissions or fraud.
Our failure to improve our systems and processes, or their failure to operate in the intended manner, may result in our inability to manage the growth of our business and to accurately forecast our revenues, expenses and earnings, or to prevent
certain losses. Any future growth would add complexity to our organization and require effective coordination within our organization. Failure to manage any future growth effectively could result in increased costs and harm our business.

Our revenues may decline as a
result of changes in public funding of educational institutions.

We have historically generated a substantial portion
of our revenues from sales to educational institutions. Public schools receive funding from local tax revenue, and from state and federal governments through a variety of programs, many of which seek to assist schools located in underprivileged or
rural areas. We believe that the funding for a substantial portion of our sales to educational institutions comes from federal funding, in particular the E-Rate program. E-Rate is a program of the Federal Communications Commission that subsidizes
the purchase of approved telecommunications, Internet access, and internal connections costs for eligible public educational institutions. In the event that the federal government reduces the amounts dedicated to the E-Rate program in future
periods, or eliminates the program completely, our sales to educational institutions may be reduced. Furthermore, if state or local funding of public education is significantly reduced because of legislative changes or by fluctuations in tax
revenues due to changing economic conditions, our sales to educational institutions may be negatively impacted. Any reduction in spending on information technology systems by educational institutions would likely materially and adversely affect our
business and results of operations.

We may engage in future acquisitions that could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our
stockholders and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

In the future we may acquire other
businesses, products or technologies. If we do complete acquisitions, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals, or such acquisitions may be viewed negatively by customers, financial markets or investors. We may
also face additional challenges, because acquisitions entail numerous risks, including:



| |  |  | difficulties in the integration of acquired operations, technologies and/or products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition transaction;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the diversion of managements attention from the regular operations of the business and the challenges of managing larger and more widespread
operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse effects on new and existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | delays in realizing or failure to realize the benefits of an acquisition.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competition within our industry for acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets and product lines has been, and may in the future
continue to be, intense. As such, even if we are able to identify an acquisition that we would like to consummate, we may not be able to complete the acquisition on commercially reasonable terms or because the target is acquired by another company.
Furthermore, in the event that we are able to identify and consummate any future acquisitions, we could:



| |  |  | issue equity securities which would dilute current stockholders percentage ownership;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur substantial debt;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | incur significant acquisition-related expenses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | assume contingent liabilities; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | expend significant cash.

Our business, operating results
and growth rates may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic or market conditions.

Our business depends on the
overall demand for IT and on the economic health of our current and prospective customers. Our current business and operating plan assumes that economic activity in general, and IT spending in particular, will at least remain at close to current
levels. We cannot be assured of the level of IT spending, however, the deterioration of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and growth rates. The purchase of our products involves a significant commitment of
capital and other resources, therefore, weak economic conditions, or a reduction in IT spending, even if economic conditions improve, would likely adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition in a number of ways,
including longer sales cycles, lower prices for our products and services, and reduced unit sales. For example, we believe that the recent economic downturns in the U.S. and international markets adversely affected our business as customers and
potential customers reduced costs by reducing or delaying purchasing decisions. Any unfavorable economic or market conditions could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

We are exposed to the credit risk of our VARs, distributors and customers, which could result in material losses and negatively impact our operating results.

Most of our sales are on an open credit basis, with typical payment terms of 30 days in the U.S. and, because of local customs or
conditions, longer in some markets outside the U.S. If any of our VARs, distributors or customers becomes insolvent or suffers a deterioration in its financial or business condition and is unable to pay for our products, our results of operations
could be harmed.

Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, a corporation that undergoes an ownership
change is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses, or NOLs, to offset future taxable income. Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and if we
undergo an ownership change in connection with our recent initial public offering or otherwise in the future, our ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Future changes in our stock
ownership, many of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our net operating losses may also be impaired under state law. We may not be able to utilize a material
portion of the NOLs.

Changes in our provision for income taxes or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income tax returns
could adversely affect our results.

Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely
affected by the following:



| |  |  | earnings being lower than anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expiration of, or lapses in, the research and development tax credit laws;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transfer pricing adjustments including the effect of acquisitions on our intercompany research and development cost sharing arrangement and legal
structure;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tax effects of nondeductible compensation;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tax costs related to intercompany realignments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in accounting principles; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in tax laws and regulations including possible U.S. changes to the taxation of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, and the deductibility of
expenses attributable to foreign income, or the foreign tax credit rules.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Significant judgment
is required to determine the recognition and measurement attributes prescribed in the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes applies to all income tax positions, including the
potential recovery of previously paid taxes, which if settled unfavorably could adversely impact our provision for income taxes or additional paid-in capital. Further, as a result of certain of our ongoing employment and capital investment actions
and commitments, our income in certain countries is subject to reduced tax rates and in some cases is wholly exempt from tax. Our failure to meet these commitments could adversely impact our provision for income taxes. In addition, we are subject to
the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income
taxes. The outcomes from these examinations may have a material and adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

New regulations or changes in existing regulations related to our products may result in unanticipated costs or liabilities, which could have a
material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and future sales, and could place additional burdens on the operations of our business.

Our products are subject to governmental regulations in a variety of jurisdictions. If any of our products becomes subject to new regulations or if any of our products becomes specifically regulated by
additional government entities, compliance with such regulations could become more burdensome, and there could be a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. For example, radio emissions are subject to regulation in the U.S.
and in other countries in which we do business. In the U.S., various federal agencies including the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Communications Commission, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration and various state agencies have promulgated regulations that concern the use of radio/electromagnetic emissions standards. Member countries of the European Union have enacted similar standards concerning electrical safety and
electromagnetic compatibility and emissions standards.

In addition, our wireless communication products operate through the
transmission of radio signals. Currently, operation of these products in specified frequency bands does not require licensing by regulatory authorities. Regulatory changes restricting the use of frequency bands or allocating available frequencies
could become more burdensome and could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our business is
subject to the risks of earthquakes, fire, floods and other natural catastrophic events, and to interruption by manmade problems such as power disruptions or terrorism.

Our corporate headquarters are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for seismic activity. We also have significant
research and development activities in India and facilities in Japan, regions known for typhoons, floods and other natural disasters. A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or a flood, occurring at our headquarters, our other
facilities or where our ODMs and channel partners are located, could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, acts of terrorism could cause disruptions in our or our customers
businesses or the economy as a whole. We also rely on information technology systems to communicate among our workforce located worldwide, and in particular, our research and development activities that are coordinated between our corporate
headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area and our facility in India. Any disruption to our internal communications, whether caused by a natural disaster or by manmade problems, such as power disruptions, could delay our research and development
efforts. To the extent that such disruptions result in delays or cancellations of customer orders, our research and development efforts or the deployment of our products, our business and operating results would be materially and adversely affected.

Our future capital needs are
uncertain and we may need to raise additional funds in the future.

We believe that our existing cash and cash
equivalents, combined with the amounts available under our line of credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, need to raise substantial additional capital to:



| |  |  | expand the commercialization of our products;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fund our operations;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | continue our research and development;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | defend, in litigation or otherwise, any claims that we infringe third-party patents or violate other intellectual property rights;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | commercialize new products; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | acquire companies and in-license products or intellectual property.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:



| |  |  | market acceptance of our products;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of our research and development activities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of filing and prosecuting patent applications;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of defending, in litigation or otherwise, any claims that we infringe third-party patents or violate other intellectual property rights;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost and timing of establishing additional sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost and timing of establishing additional technical support capabilities;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the effect of competing technological and market developments; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the market for such funding requirements and overall economic conditions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we require additional funds in the future, such funds may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

We may require additional funds in the future and we may not be able to obtain such funds on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may
experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt or additional equity financing that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our
stockholders. If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may have to delay development or commercialization of our products or license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would
otherwise seek to commercialize. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our products, or grant licenses on terms that are
not favorable to us. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets, or delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some or all of our development programs. We also may have to reduce marketing, customer
support or other resources devoted to our products or cease operations. Any of these factors could harm our operating results.

We are incurring and will
continue to incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, our management has limited experience managing a public company, and our management has been and will continue to be required to devote substantial time to
new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that
we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market, or Nasdaq, has imposed various new requirements on public companies, including
requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to
increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and have made and will continue to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive
for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. These rules and regulations could also make it more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting annually and disclosure controls and procedures
quarterly. In particular, for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2011, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on, and our independent auditor
to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, that must be
performed for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2011 may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur
substantial accounting expense and expend significant management time on compliance related issues. We will evaluate the need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting and
financial knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal controls over financial
reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial
and management resources.

Furthermore, investor perceptions of our company may suffer, and this could cause a decline in the
market price of our stock. Irrespective of compliance with Section 404, any failure of our internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these
changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent auditors. If we are unable to retain enough independent
directors to our board of directors to meet the listing standards of the Nasdaq by the deadlines set by the exchange, it could affect our continued listing on the exchange.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

Our stock price may be
volatile. Further, you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid.

The
trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:



| |  |  | actual or anticipated variation in anticipated results of operations of us or our competitors;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements by us or our competitors of new products, new or terminated significant contracts, commercial relationships or capital commitments;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | issuance of new or changed securities analysts reports or recommendations for our stock;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any major change in our management; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of our markets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating
performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This
litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our managements attention and resources.

If securities or industry analysts issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock or do not publish research or reports about our
business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock relies in part on
the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts or the content and opinions included in their reports. The price of our common stock could decline if one or more equity
research analysts downgrade our common stock or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more equity research analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose
visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. Further, securities analysts may elect not to provide research coverage of our common stock and such lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of
our common stock.

Insiders have substantial control over us and will be able to influence corporate matters.

As of September 30, 2010, our directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned, in the aggregate more than a
majority of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate
transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. This concentration of ownership could limit stockholders ability to influence corporate matters and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from
acquiring control over us.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after
the lock-up and other legal restrictions on resale lapse, the trading price of our common stock could decline. The lock-up agreements with directors and officers, and holders of substantially all of our outstanding equity securities expired in
September of 2010. As of September 30, 2010, 15,945,863 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. We also have 251,342 shares of our restricted stock and options to purchase an aggregate of 2,804,513 shares of our common stock that
will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent exercised and permitted by the provisions of various vesting agreements outstanding as of September 30, 2010. In addition, warrants to purchase 4,048,836 shares of common stock
had not been exercised and were still outstanding. If these additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

We have never paid dividends on
our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have paid no cash
dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date, have contractual restrictions against paying cash dividends and currently intend to retain our future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital
appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Certain provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware law may make it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors and may discourage hostile takeover attempts that some of our stockholders may consider to be
beneficial.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware law may have the effect
of delaying or preventing changes in control if our board of directors determines that such changes in control are not in the best interests of us and our stockholders. The provisions in our certificate or incorporation and bylaws include, among
other things, the following:



| |  |  | the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms, including preferences and voting
rights, of those shares without stockholder approval;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | stockholder action can only be taken at a special or regular meeting and not by written consent;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | advance notice procedures for nominating candidates to our board of directors or presenting matters at stockholder meetings;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allowing only our board of directors to fill vacancies on our board of directors; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | supermajority voting requirements to amend our bylaws and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While these provisions have the effect of encouraging persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate with our board of
directors, they could enable the board of directors to hinder or frustrate a transaction that some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests and, in that case, may prevent or discourage attempts to remove and
replace incumbent directors. We are also subject to Delaware laws that could have similar effects. One of these laws prohibits us from engaging in a business combination with a significant stockholder unless specific conditions are met.



|Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

(a)None

(b)On March 30, 2010, our registration
statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-163859) was declared effective in connection with our initial public offering, pursuant to which we registered the offering and sale of 3,575,000 shares of common stock by us and the sale of 811,784
shares of common stock by selling stockholders and the additional sale pursuant to the underwriters overallotment option for an additional 658,017 shares of common stock by us, at a public offering price of $15.00 per share. On April 6,
2010, all shares registered under the registration statement were sold. The managing underwriter was Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. The offering closed on April 6, 2010.

The offering did not terminate until after the sales of all of the securities registered on the registration statement. As a result of
the offering, the Company received net proceeds of $59.1 million, which includes proceeds from the underwriter overallotment option and is net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before offering expenses. Our offering expenses and the
underwriting discounts and commissions were not direct or indirect payments to any of our directors or officers or their associates or to persons owning 10 percent or more of our common stock or direct or indirect payments to others.
