XETA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARYSUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

JulyJanuary 31, 20102011

(Unaudited)

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

XETA Technologies, Inc. (“XETA”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), an Oklahoma corporation formed in 1981, is a leading integratorprovider of advanced communications technologiessolutions with nationwide sales and service. XETA provides sales, design, project management, implementation,We provide a wide variety of applications including voice messaging, wireless voice and maintenance services indata solutions, video applications, contact center solutions, unified communication, and high speed internet access solutions to hospitality and conference center customers. We sell and/or support of the products it represents.  The Company sells and/or supports productscommunications solutions produced by several manufacturers including Avaya, Inc. (“Avaya”), Mitel Corporation (“Mitel”), and Samsung Business Communications Systems (“Samsung”).  Through its recent acquisition of the assets of Hotel Technology Solutions, Inc. (“Lorica”) the Company provides high speed internet access, network monitoring services,, Juniper Networks, Polycom, Microsoft and guest help desk services to the hospitality industry.  The Company also manufactures and markets a line of proprietary call accounting systems to the hospitality industry.

ShoreTel Corporation (“ShoreTel”).

The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are reasonably adequate to ensure the information is not misleading. Management suggests that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto made a part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company filed the 10-K as Commission File No. 0-16231, with the Commission on January 8, 2010.25, 2011 and subsequently amended on January 28, 2011 and February 25, 2011. Management believes that the financial statements contain the necessary adjustments for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value:

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, customer deposits, trade accounts receivable, sales-type leases, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their respective fair values due to their short maturities.

Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the long-term debt approximates the carrying value.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, customer deposits, trade accounts receivable, sales-type leases, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their respective fair values due to their short maturities.
Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the long-term debt approximates the carrying value.
Segment Information

The Company has three reportable segments: services, commercial system sales, and hospitality system sales. Services revenues represent revenues earned from installing and maintaining systems for customers in both the commercial and hospitality segments. The Company defines commercial system sales as sales to the non-hospitality industry.

The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Form 10-K described above. Company management evaluates a segment’s performance based on gross margins. Assets are not allocated to the segments. Sales outside of the U.S. are immaterial.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation”, which requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognize compensation cost in its financial statements. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Compensation expense was recognized in the statements of operations as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements conforms to the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities: disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In JulyDecember 2010 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”. ASU 2010-29 requires that if comparative financial statements are presented, the company disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-20 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that are attributable to the business combination. ASU 2010-29 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company will apply the guidance to material business combinations after adoption.
In December 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts by requiring an entity to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This update will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”. ASU 2010-20 requires disclosures designed to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Disclosures include an evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s financing receivables; how the risk is analyzed to arrive at the allowance for credit losses and the changes and reasons for changes in the allowance for credit losses. Under this guidance, the allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment. ASU 2010-20 will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”.  The guidance in ASU 2010-09 removes the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2009 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”.  ASC 810 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which are now recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity.   The Company does not have any minority interests; therefore the adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2009 the Company adopted ASC 805, “Business Combinations”.  Under ASC 805, an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date.  It further requires that acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense.  The Company began applying the guidance to business combinations in fiscal 2010.

In November 2009 the Company adopted ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”.  The guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets.  The intent of the guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under the accounting standards and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset.  The Company began applying the guidance to intangible assets acquired in fiscal 2010.

In October 2009 the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”. The guidance in ASU 2009-13 amends the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. The guidance eliminates the estimated fair value approach for revenue allocation between the separate units of accounting and replaces it with a sales-based approach referred so as the relative-selling-price method. ASU 2009-13 expands required disclosures related to a company’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginningThe adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on or after June 15, 2010.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption will have on required disclosures, itsCompany’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

On January 14, 2009, Nortel Networks Corporation filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Subsequent to the filing the administrators of the bankruptcy adopted a business disposal strategy. Under the strategy, the administrators segmented Nortel into three primary business units: Virtual Service Switches, CDMA businesses and Enterprise Solutions. We conducted all of our Nortel business through the Enterprise Solutions unit.

Onunit which was purchased by Avaya in December 18, 2009, Avaya completed the purchase of Nortel’s Enterprise Solutions business unit.  2009.

Nortel owes XETA approximately $700,000 in pre-petition accounts receivable. On July 17, 2009 the bankruptcy court granted XETA’s request for offset of $116,000 in charges owed to Nortel at the time of the filing. In fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded $350,000 as a reserve against possible Nortel bad debts. Nortel filed its plan of reorganization on July 12, 2010 (the “Nortel Plan”). XETA’s claim is classified as a Class 3 claim, “General Unsecured Claims”. The Nortel Plan states that priority non-tax claims and secured claims will be paid in full, but that Class 3 claims will be impaired. No indication or estimate is given as to the potential extent of the impairment. According to the Nortel Plan, XETA and other Class 3 claimants will receive a pro rata share of the assets of Nortel at the time the Nortel Plan goes into affect.  The next significant action in this matter isaffect but the Administrator has provided no guidance as to an expected to be Nortel’s filing of a Disclosure Statement in mid-September providing more information regarding Nortel’s assets and potentially an estimate of payouts to Class 3 creditors.payout level. Based on the information presently available, the Company can make no further determination regarding the adequacy of its reserve in this matter. The Company will continue to carefully follow developments associated with the bankruptcy case and will assert its legal rights and defenses as appropriate.

8.CONTINGENCIES:

In addition to potential losses related to Nortel’s pre-petition receivables, the Company may be subject to preference payment claims asserted by Nortel.  It is routine in bankruptcy proceedings for the debtor in possession or bankruptcy trustee to assert a statutory “preference claim” to seek to recover payments made by the bankrupt entity to creditors during the 90-day period immediately preceding the filing of the bankruptcy petition.  This period is known as the “preference period”.  Although the debtor is entitled to make a claim based solely upon when the payments were made, the payments are not recoverable if they were made in the debtor’s ordinary course of dealings with the creditor.  Nortel has filed a schedule showing approximately $1.6 million in payments made to the Company during the preference period.  To date Nortel has not asserted a preference claim against the Company.  However, if a preference claim is brought, the Company believes it has good defenses to any such potential claim against it, including that the subject payments were made in the ordinary course of the Company’s business dealings with Nortel.  These defenses must be argued on each individual Company invoice paid during the preference period.  The Company is unable at this time to determine the extent, if any, of any material loss that might occur if a claim to recover preference payments is asserted.  Therefore, no provision for loss has been made beyond the amount discussed above related to unpaid invoices at the time of the bankruptcy filing.

9.  CAPITAL LEASES:

During 2008 the Company leased software licenses under an agreement that is classified as a capital lease.

Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict or which we are unable to control, and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including but not limited to such factors as failure to obtain shareholder approval or failure to satisfy other conditions required for the consummation of the pending merger; failure or delay in consummation of the pending merger for other reasons; changes in laws or regulations; the condition of the U.S. economy and its impact on capital spending trends in our markets; the Company’s markets; whether thesuccessful integration of recently acquired businesses into that of the Companyours and realization of anticipated synergies and growth opportunities from such transactions are successful; successthese transactions; changes in our overallAvaya’s marketing and dealer channel strategy; the financial condition of our suppliers and changes by them in their distribution strategies and support; the Nortel Networks bankruptcy filing and the potential negative impact that it may have on the Company’s prepetition accounts receivable claim against Nortel or if Nortel succeeds in bringing a preference claim against the Company; unpredictable quarter to quarter revenues; changes in Avaya’s strategies regarding the provisioncontinuing success of equipmentour Mitel product and servicesservice offerings; our ability to its customers,maintain and in its policies regarding the availability of tier IV hardware and software support; inconsistentimprove upon current gross profit margins; availability of credit to finance growth; intense competition and industry consolidation; dependence upon a few large wholesale customers for the recent growth in the Company’sour Managed Services offering; and the availability and retention of revenue professionals and certified technicians.

Overview
PAETEC Merger.
On February 8, 2011 we entered into a merger agreement with PAETEC Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“PAETEC”), and Hera Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PAETEC (“Hera”). Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Hera will merge with and into XETA (the “Merger”), with XETA surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PAETEC. Our shareholders will receive $5.50 in cash for each share of stock held upon approval of the merger by our shareholders. Additional terms and conditions of the proposed merger are provided in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Notes to Financial Statements above.

PAETEC offers a comprehensive suite of IP, voice, data, and Internet services, as well as enterprise communications management software, network security solutions, CPE, and managed services. We will become a part of PAETEC’s managed services portfolio which consists of a wide variety of products including hosted services, service lifecycle management software, and Allworx IP-PBX’s. These managed services can be sold on a stand-alone basis, but is often bundled with a variety of PAETEC’s network services to drive more revenues and deeper relationships with customers.
The Merger is expected to close in the third fiscal quarter. The merger agreement includes covenants by us to conduct business in the ordinary course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger and not to engage in certain types of transactions during such period. Additionally, while integration planning is ongoing during this period, none of our operations can be integrated into PAETEC’s prior to the closing of the transaction. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in forward-looking statements.  Consequently, investorsfactors, we are cautioned to read and consider all forward-looking statements in conjunction with such risk factors and uncertainties.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe-harbor for forward-looking statements made by the Company.

Overview

Strategy.

In advance of fiscal 2010, senior management conducted its periodic review of the strategic direction of the Company.  This review resultedoperating in a threefold refinementmanner consistent with previously stated strategic, financial and operating goals.

Strategy.
To adjust to market conditions and to improve the profitability and predictability of our business, we are continuing to shift our go-to-market strategy from an equipment-centric model to a customer-centric model through the strategic focusaddition of new professional and direction of the organization including: continued emphasis on aggressivemanaged services offerings and through adding new relationships with manufacturers. Additionally, we expect to continue to augment our organic growth through acquisitions and other corporate development activities.
Historically, our revenues have been closely associated with a few major vendors such as Avaya, Nortel, and Hitachi. Our strategy to increase our services revenues coupled with rapid changes in our market requires us to diversify our relationships to more manufacturers as well as develop new customer relationships, particularly related to our managed services business; usebusiness. As a result, in the last two years we have expanded our relationships with manufacturers from five to seventeen, greatly increasing the number of hardware and software applications we sell. We have also expanded our unique positionservice offerings to search outinclude more data-centric services such as managed network services, hospitality guest support services (help desk), wireless long-range bridging, data security consulting, and pursue organicenvironment virtualization. These changes are creating opportunities for us to earn additional revenues from existing customers as well as create opportunities with new customers. We believe these expanded capabilities will lead to improved predictiablitily and acquisitive growth opportunities resulting from Avaya’s acquisition of Nortel’s enterprise business (NES); and advance a longer-term business initiative focused on the sales, design, integration and maintenance and repair of collaborative technologies and advanced applications.

Management believes these strategies are appropriate to fully realize the benefits of our investments in high value talent and competencies, to capitalize on the market realignment resulting from Avaya’s acquisition of NES and to ready ourselves in anticipation of growth in demand for advanced applications and collaborative technologies.

Even though we are experiencing growthprofitability in our services revenue, the overall market for our products and services remains challenging.  While some of our customers are enjoying improvements in their business and are therefore purchasingwill help to diversify our revenues.

The NOC facility provides a platform for a variety of new revenue streams including proactive network monitoring, remote break/fix of network devices, and non-cash charges of $3.2 million;help desk services. The expenditures above included remodeling a decreasesmall area in inventory of $338,000; an increase in accrued liabilities of $483,000; and a decrease in deferred taxes of $814,000.  These positive cash flow items were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $324,000; a decrease in unearned revenue of $555,000; a decrease in accounts payable of $590,000; and other changes in working capital items.  These items nettedour headquarters facility to a decrease increate redundancy for the NOC. We used cash of $956,000.  Non-cash charges included amortization of $580,000; depreciation of $906,000; provisions for doubtful accounts receivable and obsolete inventories of $122,000; and stock-based compensation of $200,000.

Results of Operations

In the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20102011 revenues were $20.9$27.4 million compared to $17.2$23.0 million in the thirdfirst quarter 2009.2010. Our net income in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20102011 was $513,000,$571,000, compared to a net lossincome of $8.6 million$633,000 in the same quarter a year ago. Apart fromOur 2011 results include $324,000 in professional fees associated with the impairment charges on goodwill andprocess which led to the merger agreement with PAETEC as well as other assets of $14.0 million recordedcorporate development activities. Without these costs, our net income would have been $769,000 in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2009, these results primarily reflect increased services and equipment revenues partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs.  In2011, a 21% increase over the first nine months of the year, revenues were $61.1 million compared to $53.5 million for the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2009.  Our net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $1.4 million compared to a net loss of $8.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009.  The year-to-date results, excluding the impairment charge recorded in 2009, primarily reflect our strong first and third quarter results in all of our major revenue and gross profit categories.2010. The narrative below provides further explanation of these results.

Systems Sales.

In the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20102011 systems sales increased approximately $2.0$1.1 million or 31%10% compared to the same period last year. This increase includes a $3.3$1.4 million or 81%175% increase in sales of systems to hospitality customers and a $328,000 or 3% decrease in sales of systems to commercial customers. The increase in our hospotitality systems sales reflects a modest rebound in that market sector and a large sale of voice and data equipment to a UK-based hospitality location in the first quarter. This sale was made possible as a result of the acquisition of Lorica in fiscal 2010 and will generate recurring network monitoring fees through our new NOC once installation is complete in fiscal 2011. The decrease in sales of systems to commercial customers and a $1.3 million or 50% decrease in sales of systems to hospitality customers.  Year-to-date systems sales increased $2.2 million or 10% compared to last year.  This increase includes an increase in sales of systems to commercial customers of $6.5 million or 41% which was offset by a decrease in sales of systems to hospitality customers of $4.2 million or 58%.  The third quarter increase in systems sales reflects a large project with one of our major customerscontinued softness in the education vertical market.overall economy coupled with shipping delays by Avaya. Orders for systemsaffected by these delays are expect to other commercial customers are above last year’s pace but reflect the general unpredictable nature of this segment ofship in our business and reluctance on the part of some customers to make significant new investments in technology.  In addition, uncertain U.S. economic conditions continue to present complex challenges to our hospitality customers as evidenced by the decline in revenues in this sector.  The hospitality industry as a whole is experiencing cyclical weakness in demand and has limited its spending on new communications equipment and solutions.

Maintenance and repair revenues increased 12%37% in the third quarter and year-to-date periods.first quarter. This year-to-date performanceincrease reflects the continued success of our wholesale services programs and repair revenues as well as the addition to our base of maintenance customers associated with the purchase of Loricaacquisitions in the third quarterand fourth quarters of fiscal 2010. We continue to aggressively market our national service footprint and multi-product line technical capabilities to existing and potential wholesale service partners such as network service providers, and large voice and data integrators. We also continue to market our service capabilities to end-users. We expect growth in these programs to positively impact our maintenance and repair revenues for the foreseeable future.

Implementation revenues increased 28%9% in the thirdfirst fiscal quarter reflecting an increase in installation revenues and relatively flat revenues from our Professional Services Organization (“PSO”) and relatively flat installation revenues.  For the year-to-date period, Implementation revenues increased 36% reflecting an increase in revenues from PSO.  We attribute this to increasing demand for more complex communications systems requiring significant fee-generating design and engineering services.. In the near term, Implementation revenues will continue to be closely aligned with the sale of new systems. From a long term perspective, however, as customers displace conventional communications platformswe are expanding and adoptdiversifying our service offerings to a more complex systems, we anticipate growth in this areadata- and consulting-centric model. The recent construction of the NOC to provide proactive data and voice network monitoring and help desk services is a direct outcome of our business throughstrategy to become more relevant to the fee-based utilizationneeds of these highly skilled technical resources.

Cabling revenues increased 8% and 9%, respectively6% in the thirdfirst fiscal quarter and year-to-date periods.  These increases are primarily from a new wholesale service program added late in fiscal 2009.

Gross margins on systems sales in the thirdfirst quarter and the year-to-date periods are above our target of 23% to 25% for systems revenues. OurWhile we experience a wide range of gross margins on individual systems sales, our consistent overall performance above our expected targets in this area is due to disciplined pricing practices and pricing support received from our manufacturers in the form of project-specific discounts and incentive rebates which are recorded as reductions to cost of goods sold. These discounts and incentives are material to our gross margins.

Gross Despite our success in maintaining our equipment margins earnedwithin or exceeding our targets, we continue to believe we will face increasing pressure on Servicesthese margins as our market evolves.

Our service margins declined in the first quarter due to uneven distribution of implementation revenues primarily reflect an increase in recurring service revenues combined with improved cost controls,during the usequarter, the short-term impact of third party Quality Service Partners, and improved utilizationthe start-up of our professional services personnel for consultingnetwork operations center, and fee-based engagements.  These items contributedgeneral inefficiencies from integrating newly acquired operations into our existing systems and processes. Revenues earned from implementation of new systems was weak in the second half of the quarter resulting in lower margins due to gross Services marginsthe fixed cost structure of this portion of our business. We took steps to address the inefficiencies in our target rangeservice delivery model in the first quarter as we continued to integrate the operations of 30-35%.

the fiscal 2010 acquisitions. These steps included some reductions in technical force where there was overlap with legacy operations. We expect steady improvement of these issues throughout fiscal 2011 as integration efforts continue.

The final componentcomponents of our gross margins isare the margins earned on other revenues and our corporate cost of goods sold. We earn the majority of other revenues from the sale of Avaya maintenance contracts on which we earn either a commission or gross profit. We have no continuing service obligation associated with these revenues and gross profits. This is an unpredictable revenue stream that depends on the expiration dates of existing contracts, installation dates of new systems, customer type as defined by Avaya, and number of years that customers contract for services. OtherThese revenues may also include salesincreased by $62,000 or 103% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year. Despite this increase, these results were lower than our expectation as many customers have delayed decisions regaring long-term Avaya service contracts until there is more clarity regarding Avaya’s product and cost of goods sold on equipment or services sold outside our normal provisioning processes.service strategies. These revenues vary in both sales volume and gross margins earned. Corporate cost of goods sold represents our material logistics and purchasing functions that support all of our revenue segments.

Operating Expenses.

Our total operating expenses in the thirdfirst quarter were $5.4$6.1 million or 25.8%22.4% of revenues compared to$4.7to $5.3 million or 27.5% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 excluding $14.0 million in impairment charges recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2009.   Our operating expenses were 24.8%23.1% of revenues in the first three quartersquarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 26.0% last year, excluding the impairment charges.    As discussed2010. The modest improvement in the overview above, we have made strategic choices to focus on aggressively expanding our managed services business and on expanding through acquisitions.  We have increased our expenditures to support these strategies.  These expenditures coupled with slower than expected growth in our systems sales and increased investments in our Information Technology group to increase efficiencies and improve customer satisfaction has resulted in our operating expenses as a percentagepercent of revenues was realized despite $324,000 in non-recurring expenses for professional fees and other costs related to continue to exceed our targets.  We consider it tactically appropriate, given our strong cash flows, to support operatingthe PAETEC merger and other corporate development activities.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.Based on an evaluation conducted as of JulyJanuary 31, 20102011 by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are effective to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal controls during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On February 14 and 16, 2011, three separate putative stockholder class action complaints were filed in the District Court of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma against the Company, the members of our board of directors, and PAETEC Holding Corp. (“PAETEC”) and its indirect subsidiary Hera Corporation (“Hera”). The lawsuits concern the proposed merger between us and PAETEC, and generally assert claims alleging, among other things, that each member of our board of directors breached his fiduciary duties by agreeing to the terms of the merger and by allegedly failing to provide stockholders with material information related to the proposed merger; and that PAETEC and Hera aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by the members of our board of directors. The lawsuits seek, among other things, class action certification and monetary and injunctive relief. We believe that all claims asserted in the lawsuits are without merit and are merely opportunistic.

TableThe proposed merger with PAETEC is subject to satisfaction or waiver of Contents

Avaya’s recently implemented requirements regarding minimum level service agreements and hardware and software upgrade requirements could have a material, negative impact on our services gross margins.

Avaya implemented new policies, effective July 1, 2010, requiring all customers to contract with Avaya for minimum service levels to access Tier IV support, and to maintain their software at no more than two trailing major version releases thancertain customary conditions, including the current version.  The impact of these changes to our business will be negative, but the materialityapproval of the impact is uncertain at this time.  These impacts could include a significant decline inmerger by our services gross margins if we are required to purchase Avaya service contracts on behalf ofstockholders.

We will incur significant transaction costs relating to the proposed merger, whether or not the merger is completed. Completion of accessthe merger is subject to Avaya’s Tier IV support.

However, no assuranceassurances can be given that these policy changesthe transaction contemplated by the merger agreement will be consummated or, if not consummated, that we will enter into a comparable or superior transaction with another party.
Our future business and financial position may be adversely affected if the merger is not completed.
If the merger agreement with PAETEC is terminated and the merger is not consummated, we will have a material,incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the merger. In addition, we may also be subject to additional risks including, without limitation:
upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay PAETEC a termination fee of $1.92 million;
substantial costs related to the merger, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, must be paid regardless of whether the merger is completed; and
potential disruption to the current plan, operations, businesses and distraction of our workforce and management team.
Litigation related to the Merger could adversely affect our financial results.
Several putative stockholder class action complaints were filed against us, the members of our board of directors, and PAETEC in connection with the proposed merger. The cost of defending such lawsuits and paying any judgment or settlement in connection therewith could have an adverse impact on our operatingfinancial results beginningin the event these amounts exceed our insurance limits or are not covered by those limits.
The proposed merger creates unique risks in the time leading up to closing, and there are also risks of completing the conditions to closing.
The merger agreement generally requires us to operate our business in the ordinary course pending consummation of the proposed merger, but restricts us, without PAETEC’s consent, from taking certain specified actions until the merger is complete or the merger agreement is terminated. Additionally, matters relating to the merger may require substantial commitments of time and resources, which could otherwise have been devoted to other beneficial opportunities. There may also be potential difficulties in employee retention pending consummation of the merger. Any loss of business opportunities or key personnel could have an adverse impact on future business, and, as soon as fiscal 2011.

If we are unable to complete our proposed merger our stock price could suffer.
The termination of the merger agreement would likely result in a decline in our stock price to the extent that our stock price reflects a market assumption that we will complete the merger and our stockholders will receive the merger consideration specified in the merger agreement.
Nortel’s Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing and subsequent sale of its enterprise solution business to Avaya may negatively impact our revenues and/or financial condition.

Nortel filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on January 14, 2009. On July 12, 2010 Nortel filed its plan of reorganization which was essentially a plan of liquidation. This matter poses a variety of risks to our business, as follows:

·

Uncertainty surrounding Nortel’s bankruptcy has significantly dampened demand for equipment in this product line as existing Nortel customers evaluate costs and risks associated with maintaining their commitment to the Nortel platform and the associated Avaya product roadmap versus transitioning their installed based to other manufacturers’ platform.

·

We are owed approximately $717,000 in pre-petition accounts receivable less approximately $116,000 in approved offsets for amounts we owed to Nortel at the time of the filing. Nortel’s July 12 filing classifies our claim as a Class 3 “General Unsecured” claim. As such, our claim will be impaired and any distribution made by Nortel to Class 3 unsecured creditors will be shared among such creditors on a pro-rata basis. We do not know the extent to which this receivable will be impaired but it is apparent we will not collect the full amount. If this claim is not collectible in large part, we could experience material, negative operating results in the near term.

·

Nortel has filed a statement of financial affairs under which it shows payments to the Company against multiple invoices of approximately $1.6 million which were made during the 90-day statutory “preference period” under bankruptcy law. XETA’s figure for these payments is $1.14 million. As such, these payments are considered “preference payments” and are subject to a “preference claim” which can be asserted by Nortel. Bankruptcy law allows the debtor to recover these payments unless the creditor successfully establishes that the payments were made in the ordinary course of business between the debtor and creditor or if the payments were offset by subsequent new value given by XETA in the form of goods or services. If Nortel elects to assert a preference claim against the Company for this amount or any portion thereof and the Company is unable to successfully defend the claim, the Company would have to return any such amounts to Nortel.

·

Avaya’s purchase of the Nortel enterprise solution business (“NES”) may result in a significant disruption and/or material decline in our revenues and gross profits. NES is both one of our major suppliers and is an important customer in that NES outsources significant volumes of service calls to us under various managed services programs that NES has with end-user customers. Avaya and NES are large, complex companies with global operations. They have had very different marketing strategies and both have long, deep cultural traditions. The integration of these two companies will be challenging and disruptive to the market. There can be no assurance given that the combination of Avaya and NES will not have near-term and/or long-term material, negative impact on our operating results, financial position, market position, and overall reputation.

The acquisition and integration of businesses by the Company may not produce the desired financial and/or operating results.

We have recently completed the acquisition of the operating assets of Lorica Solutions and the stock of Pyramid Communication Services, Inc.  These developments are a part of our stated strategy to take advantage of the current disruption in our market by acquiring assets that increase our market share and establish a presence in the advanced communications applications market segment.  Integrating new operating assets into an existing organization is a complex business proposition.   Expected synergies and growth often do not materialize as planned.  We used existing cash balances to fund the acquisitions and their integration costs.  Furthermore, we will devote significant time and effort to improve the probability of success for these investments.  However, no assurance can be given that these acquisitions will meet our expectations for revenues and operating results, or that our capital could have been used more efficiently to improve our financial condition or operating results.
