Sonic Foundry, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

(Unaudited)



|1. | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------

Sonic Foundry, Inc. (the Company) is in the business of developing automated rich media application software and systems (our Rich Media business).

Interim Financial Data

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual report filed on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations have been included.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the year ended September 30, 2007.

Revenue Recognition

General

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs or services are rendered, the sales price is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue is deferred when undelivered products or services are essential to the functionality of delivered products, customer acceptance is uncertain, significant obligations remain, or the fair
value of undelivered elements is unknown. The Company does not offer customers the right to return product, other than for warranty repairs. The Companys policy is to reduce revenue if it incurs an obligation for price rebates or other such
programs during the period the obligation is reasonably estimated to occur. The following policies apply to the Companys major categories of revenue transactions.

Products

Products are considered delivered, and revenue is recognized, when title and risk of loss have
been transferred to the customer. Under the terms and conditions of the sale, this occurs at the time of shipment to the customer. Product revenue currently represents sales of our Mediasite product and Mediasite related products such as server
software revenue.

Services

We sell support
contracts to our Mediasite customers, typically one year in length and record the related revenue ratably over the contractual period. Our support contracts cover phone and electronic technical support availability over and above the level provided
by our distributors, software upgrades, advance replacement and an extension of the standard hardware warranty from 90 days to one year. The manufacturer we contract with to build the units performs hardware warranty service. We also sell
installation and training services and host customer Mediasite content. Revenue for those services is recognized when performed in the case of installation and training services and is recognized ratably over the contract period for hosting
services. Service amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue until the revenue recognition criteria are met.

Other

Other
revenue consists of software licensing of our Publisher product, custom software development performed under time and materials or fixed fee arrangements and amounts charged for shipping and handling. Software licensing is recorded when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Custom software development includes fees recorded pursuant to long-term contracts (including research grants),
using the percentage of completion method of accounting, when significant customization or modification of a product is required. Shipping and handling is recorded at the time of shipment to the customer.

Revenue Arrangements that Include Multiple Elements

Revenue
for transactions that include multiple elements such as hardware, software, training, support or content hosting agreements is allocated to each element based on its relative fair value and recognized for each element when the revenue recognition
criteria have been met for that element. Fair value is generally determined based on the price charged when the element is sold separately. In the absence of fair value of a delivered element, revenue is allocated first to the fair value of the
undelivered elements and the residual revenue to the delivered elements. The Company recognizes revenue for delivered elements only when all of the following criteria are satisfied: undelivered elements are not essential to the functionality of
delivered elements, uncertainties regarding customer acceptance are resolved, and the fair value for all undelivered elements is known.

Shipping and
Handling

The Companys shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in other revenue. Costs related to shipping and
handling are included in cost of revenue.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

The Companys cash and cash equivalents are deposited with two major financial institutions. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the
amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk on these balances.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers financial condition and generally do not require collateral. We maintain allowances for
potential credit losses and such losses have been within our expectations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory consists of raw materials and supplies used in the assembly of Mediasite units and finished Mediasite units. Inventory of completed
Mediasite units and spare parts are carried at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

Stock Based Compensation

The Company maintains an employee qualified stock option plan under which the Company may grant options to acquire up to 7.0 million shares of common stock. The Company also maintains a non-qualified plan under
which 3.8 million shares of common stock can be issued and a directors stock option plan under which 900 thousand shares of common stock may be issued to non-employee directors. Each non-employee director, who is re-elected or who is
continuing as a member of the board of directors on the annual meeting date and on each subsequent meeting of stockholders, is granted options to purchase 20 thousand shares of common stock.

Each option entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at the specified option price. The exercise price of each option granted under the
plans was set at the fair market value of the Companys common stock at the respective grant date. Options vest at various intervals and expire at the earlier of termination of employment, discontinuance of service on the board of directors,
ten years from the grant date or at such times as are set by the Company at the date of grant.

Effective October 1, 2005, the Company
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, Share-Based Payment  an Amendment of FASB Statement Nos. 123 and 95, (SFAS 123R) for its stock option plans. The Company previously accounted for these plans
under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB 25) and related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized for the three and six
month periods ended March 31, 2007, and 2006 includes the cost associated with stock options vesting during the period which were granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 1, 2005. This cost was based on the grant-date fair value
estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. The cost for all share-based awards granted subsequent to September 30, 2005, represents the grant-date fair value that was estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated. Compensation cost for options will be recognized in earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. There were no capitalized stock-based
compensation costs at March 31, 2007.

Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company changed its option valuation model from the
Black-Scholes model to a lattice valuation model for all stock options granted subsequent to September 30, 2005. The lattice valuation model is a more flexible analysis to value employee options because of its ability to incorporate inputs that
change over time, such as actual exercise behavior of option holders. The Company used historical data to estimate the option exercise and employee departure behavior used in the lattice valuation model. Expected volatility is based on historical
volatility of the Companys stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The Company considers all employees to have similar exercise behavior and therefore has not
identified separate homogenous groups for valuation. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free
rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.

The fair
value of each option grant is estimated using the assumptions in the following table:



|                        |  |                             |  |

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the six months ended
March 31, 2007 was $1.06. As of March 31, 2007, there was $837 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation, net of $262 thousand of estimated forfeitures. The cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average remaining life of 1.4 years.

Stock-based compensation recorded in the three month period ended
March 31, 2007 of $239 thousand was allocated $155 thousand to selling and marketing expenses, $32 thousand to general and administrative expenses and $52 thousand to product development expenses. Stock-based compensation recorded in the six
month period ended March 31, 2007 of $387 thousand was allocated $249 thousand to selling and marketing expenses, $51 thousand to general and administrative expenses and $87 thousand to product development expenses. Cash received from Option
exercises under all stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $96 thousand and $111 thousand, respectively. There were no tax benefits realized for tax deductions from Option exercises in either of the
three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and
transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN No. 48 is not expected to have any significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
(SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statement. Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses SEC staff views regarding
the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early
application is encouraged. We do not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.



|2. | Related Party Transactions
|-- | --------------------------

During the three and
six month periods ended March 31, 2007, the Company paid fees of $56 and $109 thousand, respectively, to a law firm, a partner of which is a director and stockholder of the Company. The Company had accrued liabilities for unbilled services of

|3. | Purchase Commitments
|-- | --------------------

The Company enters into
unconditional purchase commitments on a regular basis for the supply of Mediasite product. Obligations to purchase approximately $654 thousand over the next fiscal quarter remain. This commitment is not recorded on the Companys Balance
Sheet. There are no obligations under this commitment past September 30, 2007. The Company had $311 thousand of purchase commitments as of March 31, 2006.

The Company engaged a manufacturer to build a replacement component for its Mediasite product according to designs proprietary to the Company. The Company had a commitment of approximately $70 thousand at
March 31, 2006. There was no similar commitment at March 31, 2007.



|4. | Subsequent Events
|-- | -----------------

On May 2, 2007, the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sonic Foundry Media Systems, Inc. (collectively, the Companies) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank providing for a credit facility in the
form of a $3,000,000 secured revolving line of credit and a $1,000,000 term loan. The revolving line of credit will accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) one-quarter of one percentage point (0.25%) above Silicon Valley
Banks Prime Rate, or (ii) eight percent (8%). The term loan will accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) one percent (1%) above Silicon Valley Banks Prime Rate, or (ii) eight and three quarters
of one percent (8.75%). Interest on the revolving line of credit and interest on the term loan will be payable monthly. The revolving line of credit matures on April 30, 2009, at which time all outstanding borrowings and any unpaid interest
thereon must be repaid, and all outstanding letters of credit must be cash collateralized. Principal on the term loan will be repaid in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments, and will be repaid in full on May 1, 2010. The term loan
provides funds for the Companys recently completed facility expansion while the revolving line of credit provides flexibility in financing growth in the future, if and when the Company determines it is advisable to do so.

The Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a covenant requiring the Companies to maintain certain of their depository, operating
and securities accounts with Silicon Valley Bank, maintain a tangible net worth covenant, and maintain certain ratios of quick assets to current liabilities minus deferred revenue. The Loan Agreement also contains certain other restrictive loan
covenants, including covenants limiting the Companies ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions, be acquired, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, pay dividends, and repurchase stock.

The Loan Agreement contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal or interest, inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty, violation of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, and material adverse changes. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the
Companies obligations under the Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary pledged
as collateral to the Bank substantially all of their non-intellectual property business assets, and each of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary entered into an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to their intellectual
property assets.

Actual results could differ materially from expectations due to changes in the market acceptance of our
products, competition, market introduction or product development delays; all of which would impact our strategy to develop a network of inside regional sales managers and distribution partners that target customer opportunities for multi-unit and
repeat purchases. If the Company does not achieve multi-unit and repeat purchases our business will be harmed.

Other factors that may
impact actual results include: our ability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, length of time necessary to close on sales leads to multi-unit purchasers, our ability to service existing accounts, global and local business conditions,
legislation and governmental regulations, competition, our ability to effectively maintain and update our product portfolio, shifts in technology, political or economic instability in local markets, and currency and exchange rate fluctuations, as
well as other issues which may be identified from time to time in Sonic Foundrys Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements.

Critical
Accounting Policies

We have identified the following as critical accounting policies to our Company and have discussed the development,
selection of estimates and the disclosure regarding them with the audit committee of the board of directors:



| |  |  | Revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Impairment of long-lived assets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | Valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Accounting for stock-based compensation.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------

Revenue
Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We recognize revenue for product sales and licensing of software products upon
shipment, provided that collection is determined to be probable and no significant obligations remain. The Company does not offer rights of return and typically delivers products either to value added resellers based on end-user customer orders or
direct to the end user. We



12

##### Table of Contents

sell post-contract support (PCS) contracts on our Mediasite units. Revenue is recorded separately from the sale of the product and recognized
over the life of the support contract using vendor specific objective evidence of the value of the support services. Please refer to Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our revenue recognition
policies.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates regarding the collectability of our
accounts receivables. We specifically analyze the age of accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We assess the impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and capitalized software development costs on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of these assets is less than the carrying
value. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:



| |  |  | poor economic performance relative to historical or projected future operating results;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significant negative industry, economic or company specific trends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the plans for our business; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of key personnel
| | - |  | ---------------------

If we
determine that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, based upon the annual test or the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we would then measure impairment based on a comparison of the implied fair
value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of goodwill, we would record an impairment charge for the difference.

We evaluate all of our long-lived assets, including intangible assets other than goodwill, for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets and intangible assets other than goodwill are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of an asset may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset. Should events indicate that any of our long-lived assets are impaired; the amount of such impairment will be measured as the difference
between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset and recorded in earnings during the period of such impairment.

Valuation allowance
for net deferred tax assets

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax
basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred income taxes also arise from the future benefits of net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax
assets has been recognized due to uncertainty regarding future realization.

Accounting for stock based compensation

The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 2007 includes the cost for all stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of October 1, 2006. This cost was based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS
123. The cost for all share-based awards granted subsequent to September 30, 2006, represents the grant-date fair value that was estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
Compensation cost for options will be recognized in earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The Company used historical data to estimate the Option exercise and employee departure behavior used in the lattice valuation model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Companys stock.
The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The Company considers all employees to have similar exercise behavior and therefore has not identified separate homogenous

groups for valuation. The expected term of Options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that
Options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the Options is based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.

Results of Continuing Operations

Revenue

Revenues from our business include the sale or license of Mediasite and server software products and related professional services contracts, such as
customer support, content hosting, equipment rental, and event services sold separately. We market our products to educational institutions, corporations and government agencies that need to deploy, manage, index and distribute video content on
Internet-based networks. We reach both our domestic and international markets through reseller networks, a direct sales effort and partnerships with system integrators.

Q2-2007 compared to Q2-2006

Revenues in Q2-2007 increased $868 thousand, or 29% from Q2-2006 sales of $2.95
million to $3.82 million. Sales consisted of the following:



| |  |  | Product revenue from sale of Mediasite capture units

|Mediasite gross margins, excluding support     |  | 72%      |  | 69%     



| |  |  | Professional services revenue represents the portion of fees charged for Mediasite SmartServe service contracts amortized over the length of the contract, typically
12 months, as well as training, installation, rental, event and content hosting services. Professional services revenue increased from $652 thousand in Q2-2006 to $913 thousand in Q2-2007 which includes $80 thousand in revenue from installation,
training and on-site support contracts and $36 thousand in professional service fees. The increase in support revenue is due to support contracts on new Mediasite capture units as well as renewals of support contracts entered into in prior years. At
March 31, 2007 $2.24 million of unrecognized support revenue remained in unearned revenues, of which we expect to realize $790 thousand in the upcoming quarter.

| |  |  | Other revenue relates to freight charges billed separately to our customers, reimbursed expenses, and certain custom software engineering projects.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We expect quarterly revenues to increase significantly through Fiscal 2007.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

YTD-2007 (six months) compared to YTD-2006 (six months)

Revenues for YTD-2007 totaled
$7.29 million compared to YTD-2006 revenues of $4.83 million. Revenues included the following:



| |  |  | $5.48 million product revenue from the sale of 280 Mediasite units versus $3.6 million from the sale of 229 Mediasite units in 2006.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $1.79 million from Mediasite services plans, installation & training versus $1.1 million in 2006.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $30 from the Department of Justice research grant in 2006.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

Gross Margin

Total gross margins for Q2-2007 were $2.9 million or 77% compared to Q2-2006 of $2.09 million or 71%. The significant
components of cost of revenue include:



| |  |  | Material and freight costs for the Mediasite capture units. Costs for Q2-2007 Mediasite material and other costs amounted to $720 thousand, along with $24 thousand
of freight costs and $128 thousand of labor and

allocated costs, resulted in Mediasite gross margins  including support revenue  of 77%. Total YTD costs for 2007 amounted to $1.59 million and
resulted in Mediasite gross margins of 78%. Costs for Q2-2006 and YTD-2006 amounted to $718 thousand and $1.23 million and resulting gross margins of 74% in each period. The gross margin on Mediasite sales varies with product mix; our rack units
typically carry a higher margin than our mobile units. We expect margins to exceed 80% in Fiscal 2007.



| |  |  | Due to the growth in professional service revenue and expenses, the 2007 cost of revenue includes direct costs for event services and an allocation of staff costs
of $81 thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 associated with our customer support and professional services areas. The allocated costs are an estimate of staff expense based on time spent on billable services. The cost of revenue for
professional services in 2006 is immaterial and is included in sales and marketing expense.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Mediasite acquisition amounts assigned to purchased technology and other identified intangibles were fully amortized as of December 31, 2006. Amortization
expense was approximately $53 thousand for the six month period ended March 31, 2007, and $97 thousand per quarter in 2006.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses include wages and commissions for sales, marketing, business development and technical support personnel, print advertising and various promotional expenses for our products. Timing of
these costs may vary greatly depending on introduction of new products and services or entrance into new markets, or participation in major tradeshows.

Q2-2007 compared to Q2-2006

Selling and marketing expenses increased $1.29 million or 74% from $1.75 million
in Q2-2006 to $3.04 million in Q2-2007 resulting from:



| |  |  | Q2-2007 salary, commissions, bonuses and benefits exceeded Q2-2006 by $734 thousand due to the growth in revenues impacting related commissions, and salary expense
for additional selling and marketing staff.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Q2-2007 advertising and tradeshow expenses increased $49 thousand due to increased marketing efforts.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Due to the addition of selling and marketing staff, Q2-2007 travel, supplies, postage, meeting and allocated expenses increased over $500 thousand. This includes
$155 thousand of non-cash stock compensation expense associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased expenses were partially offset by an allocation of $81 thousand in technical support and professional services expense to cost of goods sold.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YTD-2007 compared to YTD-2006

Selling and marketing expenses increased $2.08 million or 60% from YTD-2006 to YTD-2007 as a result of increases in many of the same items mentioned in the quarter discussion above. YTD increases in the major
categories include:



| |  |  | YTD-2007 salary, commissions, and benefits exceeded YTD-2006 by $1.12 million due to the growth in revenues impacting related commissions, and salary expense for
additional selling and marketing staff.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | YTD-2007 advertising, tradeshow, market research, public relations fees and demonstration equipment costs increased $140 thousand over the prior year, reflecting
new marketing efforts.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Due to the addition of selling and marketing staff, YTD-2007 support costs including travel, utilities and other facility related expenses increased by $741
thousand over the prior year. This includes $250 thousand of non-cash stock compensation expense associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of March 31, 2007 we had 60 employees in Selling and Marketing. We anticipate continued growth in selling and marketing headcount in the remainder of fiscal 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses consist of personnel and related costs associated with the facilities, finance, legal, human resource and information technology departments, as well as other
expenses not fully allocated to functional areas.

Q2-2007 compared to Q2-2006

G&A expenses increased $338 thousand or 44% over the prior period from $766 thousand in Q2-2006 to $1.1 million in Q2-2007. Some significant
differences between the periods include:



| |  |  | Professional fees increased $157 thousand from the prior year due to additional accounting, legal and consulting costs, including increased costs associated with
required fiscal year-end 2007 compliance with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Depreciation and facilities expenses increased $162 thousand over the prior year due to an expansion of office space completed in Q1-2007.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $389 thousand over the prior year, due primarily to SFAS 123R expense. This increase was offset by a corresponding increase
in costs allocated to other functional areas.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In response to growing revenues and customer accounts receivable, the Company increased the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable and recorded a charge of
$40 thousand in Q2-2007.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YTD-2007 compared to YTD-2006

G&A increased $612 thousand or 42% from YTD-2006 to YTD-2007. As mentioned in the quarter discussion above, salaries, commissions and benefits
increased over the prior year, resulting in a variance of $537 thousand YTD. Again, this increase was partially offset by allocating expense to other functional areas. Professional fees increased $262 thousand due to increased accounting and legal
costs, including costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

As of March 31, 2007 we had 13 full-time employees in G&A. We do not anticipate
significant growth in G&A headcount during the remainder of fiscal 2007.

Product Development Expenses

Product development expenses include salaries and wages of the software research and development staff and an allocation of benefits, facility and
administrative expenses. Fluctuations in product development expenses correlate directly to changes in headcount.

Q2-2007 compared to
Q2-2006

R&D expenses increased $262 thousand, or 48% from $544 thousand in Q2-2006 to $806 thousand in Q2-2007. Some
significant differences between the periods include:



| |  |  | Increased salaries and benefits of $181 thousand.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Increased share of allocated G&A expenses of $90 thousand dollars including Q2-2007 non-cash stock compensation of $52 thousand associated with the adoption of
SFAS 123R on October 1, 2005.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of March 31, 2007 we had 24 employees in Research and Development. We do not
anticipate significant growth in R&D headcount during the remainder of fiscal 2007. We do not anticipate that any fiscal 2007 software development efforts will qualify for capitalization under SFAS No. 86 Accounting for the Cost of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.

YTD-2007 compared to YTD-2006

YTD-2007 R&D expenses increased $403 thousand, or 37% from YTD-2006. As mentioned in the quarter discussion above, salaries, commissions and benefits
were the primary reason for the increase, accounting for $296

thousand of the increase over the prior year. Additional contributors to the increase included facilities related expenses and non-cash stock compensation of
$87 thousand associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R. In YTD-2007, 75% of R&D costs related to salaries and benefits.

Other Income

Other income is primarily interest income. We are currently investing in certificates of deposit and overnight investment vehicles.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash
used in operating activities was $4.26 million in YTD-2007 compared to YTD-2006 of $1.95 million  an increase of $2.31 million or 118%. Cash use in 2007 included a $1.18 million increase in accounts receivable and a $493 thousand reduction in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities. 2006 had more modest changes in working capital components with a $298 thousand increase in receivables and a $243 thousand decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities was $272 thousand in YTD-2007 compared to a use of $419 thousand in YTD-2006. Cash used in investing activities was for
the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash provided by financing activities was $10.6 million in YTD-2007 compared to cash provided of
$828 thousand in YTD-2006. In December 2006, we received $10.4 million from the sale of common stock, net of issuance costs, and received $266 thousand in YTD-2007 from the exercise of options and warrants compared to the receipt of $725 thousand
from the sale of common stock in November 2005 and proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants of $110 thousand.

In December 2006,
we issued 3 million shares of common stock in a public offering, and received net proceeds of $10.4 million for support of continuing research and development efforts and capital expenditures, intellectual property protection, as well as other
business development activities, working capital needs, and general corporate purposes. In November 2005, we issued 747 thousand shares of common stock and 149 thousand common stock purchase warrants to certain individual investors in a
private placement, and received net proceeds of $725 thousand. The Company believes its cash position is adequate to accomplish its business plan through at least the next twelve months and therefore has no current plan to issue additional shares
previously registered in its available shelf registration.

We expect to continue to acquire property and equipment over the next twelve
months including equipment associated with our anticipated growth in the number of employees, expansion of our services offering and development of new hardware components for our Mediasite product. On May 2, 2007, the Company entered into a
Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank providing for a credit facility in the form of a $3,000,000 secured revolving line of credit and a $1,000,000 term loan. We may evaluate further operating or
capital lease opportunities to finance equipment purchases in the future and may utilize the Companys recently established revolving line of credit to support working capital needs, if the Company deems it advisable to do so.

The Company enters into unconditional purchase commitments on a regular basis for the supply of Mediasite product. Obligations to purchase approximately
$654 thousand over the next fiscal quarter remain. This commitment is not recorded on the Companys Balance Sheet. There are no obligations under this commitment past September 30, 2007. The Company had $311 thousand of purchase
commitments as of March 31, 2006.

The Company engaged a manufacturer to build a replacement component for its Mediasite product
according to designs proprietary to the Company. The Company had a commitment of approximately $70 thousand at March 31, 2006. There was no similar commitment at March 31, 2007.
